Mother reincarnated as granddaughter?

[Orlinda]

Hello, I am so happy to find this forum. Lately I’ve been questioning is it possible for my deceased mother ( over 40 years) to come back as my granddaughter?
I lost my mother over 40 years to domestic violence, she was nine months pregnant, and I was nine years old. I now have two grandchildren the youngest is one. I love both grandkids with all my heart, but I must say there is something different about the one year old. My first time holding her when she was 3 weeks old, she stared at me and winked one of her eyes at me. My son and I both were shocked and laughed about it. However to be a baby, her learning skills seem incredibly sharp, it’s like she’s been here before, She also hums when she eats. My mother use to hum when she ate nobody knows that but me. She now looks a lot like my mother, she even has long hair like my mother. She has always given direct eye contact to me since 3 weeks old and now she gravitates toward me, and she seems so happy to see me whenever I visit. Is it possible for reincarnation or does she have some of the same characteristics as my mother.

Hi Orlinda,

It is entirely possible. = )

For both!

What a beautiful photo. Welcome to the forum.

You'll find we're all discovering a much larger concept of family than we realize. God works in mysterious ways, and it does the heart good.

There is no doubt that she was previously your mother. Please note that reincarnation can only occur in your own bloodline. we cannot be reincarnated from another family lineage that is not related to us by blood.

Hi Skyline,

Your position is interesting, but--if I am understanding you correctly--it is by no means held by most or even very many of those interested in or studying reincarnation (at least to my knowledge).

Plus, though I have heard something like this this stated on the Board before, it was not used in the sense that you seem to be using it, as requiring reincarnation only to lineal descendants (though I think this may be a common belief among some indigenous peoples).

I have usually heard it stated as a "lineage" requirement applying to collateral lines as well, seemingly, without limitation (such that reincarnation was possible in any line that could be genealogically/genetically connected via a distant common ancestor).

Of course, the latter position raises the question of how far back that common ancestor might be, as we may all ultimately trace our lineage to the same common ancestors.

Hi SeaAndSky,

Thank you for your response. maybe you have a point. but I state that because I believe that there is a law of KARMA that applies to humans, and reincarnation is closely related to the law of karma. What I mean is, KARMA can only be inherited through bloodline, so we can only be reincarnated through our own bloodline to inherit KARMA that has been done by our predecessors. we cannot bear KARMA from other bloodlines. we can only bear it from our own bloodline.

Regardless of whatever religion one adheres to or whatever custom one believes in, everyone still experiences things called Deja vu, Dreams and Reincarnation. Of these 3 things, reincarnation is very closely related to the law of KARMA, and is also interconnected with each other.

Hi Skyline,

What is the basis for this statement? I can think of at least one Old Testament passage that might be interpreted to support such a proposition, but it would be a bit of a stretch. Also, the restrictions this imposes are fairly staggering. For example, a whole lot of the folks, especially in the West, end up without children. So, there are no lineal blood descendants to incarnate into and to "inherit KARMA"--as you put it--what happens in such cases? Are such people barred from reincarnation due to their lack of descendants? Likewise, there have always been those who never married, or chose the life of a renunciant as a monk or nun of some type, etc. Are these, likewise, closed off from further reincarnation?

PS--I also don't recall any restrictions of this type when studying reincarnation doctrines related to "Karma" in association with Hinduism, Buddhism, etc.--so I'm very curious in terms of where this idea came from. I'm not totally opposed to some type of bloodline restrictions, though I don't have any proof for the proposition. However, restriction of reincarnation to one's blood descendants seems too narrow to be workable to me. Still, I remain eager to understand where you are coming from on this.
PPS--I don't recall anything of this type in terms of Catharism, which I have also studied, but it has a bit of a Cathar "flavor" to it--though they would not have used a term such as "Karma".
PPPS--BTW, I think that most people assume that their personal Karma travels with them as a soul/person to any bloodline they enter via reincarnation, rather than traveling down their last family line to "meet them" later in a subsequent family incarnation.
