Pre-birth reincarnation question

I've lurked here on and off for years, but this is the first time I have a question to ask.

This requires a little back story. When my sister was pregnant with her first son, she had a few dreams about the baby being an ex-boyfriend of hers who had died of a brain aneurysm a couple of years before. She and he had been drawn together repeatedly, but there were issues from his upbringing that prevented the relationship from working. Her son has many of the traits of the ex-boyfriend and has more of a care taking attitude toward her than I've seen in any other child. I believe he found a way to be in her life when it became clear that he couldn't be in her life as an adult.

She is now about four months pregnant with her third son and she had another dream that felt the same as the ones with her first son. In this one, she was talking to a man she had been friends with about 10 years ago who had committed suicide. He asked to come and be part of her family. She was furious and chewed him out about the irresponsibility of his actions. She refused to allow him into their family because she was afraid that he'd leave prematurely again. He was somewhat ashamed and left. She woke up feeling relieved.

My sister has five children (counting this one who's still in utero) and these are the only times she's had this sort of experience. So this isn't something that happens all the time to her.

Now she wonders (and I do), how can this be? She was worried that by refusing him she'd leave her baby with no spirit and she'd miscarry. But she's since had an ultrasound and everything is good. How can someone ask to be born to you once conception has already occurred and so much development has taken place? I assume that if she'd agreed, her friend would now be the spirit inhabiting the baby (that certainly seems to be the case with her older child). So who's there now? Was someone just holding the place until her friend asked? Or was someone there first and willing to give him their place? What are your thoughts on this?
 
Welcome to the Forum, Farmwife:


I'm positive there are forum member's who are better qualified than I am to answer this question, but if I might be allowed to offer my opinion on your post.


Years ago, I heard an "Old Wives Tale" (present company excluded) that said basically that the Mother would dream about the new baby, or the new baby would introduce itself to the expectant Mother in some way.


It's possible that your Sister's late friend (who committed suicide) communicated though the "Veil" from the Other Side, and when he was rebuffed, he decided to forfeit the new body and it was chosen for another soul.


I believe there was a "place marker" of some type in place, that allowed the friend to not occupy the new body and to let another soul occupy the new body instead, without any problems for the baby, as the ultrasound clearly shows.


Again, this is only speculation on my part (and only my opinion).


But no matter who the soul is, I'm sure that the Mother (your Sister) will love that child for what he is, a gift from the Great Spirit (God) and may he grow and be a joy to all!
 
Farmwife,


There's a good book out there called "Exploring Our Forgotten Lives" by Bryan Jameison. Jameison was a pioneering past life regression therapist and his book is quite interesting. I've read a lot of books by other regression therapists and I find him to be the most well-informed and compassionate. If you find any of the information below helpful I urge you read the book for yourself (probably by acquiring a secondhand copy online).


Jameison's book has a section on the birth process that might have some information relevant to your question. The author writes that in his experience he has found that "the soul takes complete possession of the body at the moment of taking its first independent breath" -- and *not* before. That is, "the incarnational contract [between mother and child] isn't signed and sealed until after the baby is delivered and has taken its first independent breath" (p. 38). During pregnancy the fetus has a life force but does not yet have an indwelling soul; it is not yet a complete human being. Conception is not the end of the incarnational process. According to Jameison, an agreement must still be made on a spiritual level between the mother and the future child. Up until actual birth, it seems as though the mother and child-soul can both choose to terminate the pregnancy. If the mother chooses to abort, the child-soul will not be present with the fetus at the time of the procedure. If the child-soul decides not to continue, termination can come via something like stillbirth or SIDS.


However, I don't think the possibility of no soul taking possession of the fetus should worry you or your sister in the slightest. That only seems to happen when the child-soul backs out *very* late in the process. Jameison points out that the whole process of incarnating is complicated. It requires input and agreement from a whole cast of characters including the incarnating soul, the mother-to-be, the rest of the family, and significant individuals from the forthcoming life. Thus, much has to be taken into account before a final decision is made. I would wager that it is common that there are multiple candidates for a each birth spot, and circumstances lead to all but one being rejected by the end of the process. There are almost certainly many other wonderful souls ready to come into you sister's family (with her whole-hearted consent!).
 
Thanks, I'll have to look into finding that book. You guys have given me some interesting things to think about.
