What my children said to me

First let me say that I hope I don't offend anyone here. It sounds like a great group.

My son told me at about age 3-4 as I was watching a show with a shark in it that he had had his nose bitten off by a shark.

I told him that he must have had a nightmare or imagined it and he had a very stern and serious expression on his face and said "no, it really happened". He said that after that he went to the other place before he came back here. I asked some questions and he said he was a different color (darker) then and that I was with him in the water, fishing with baskets (maybe coast of Africa?) and a shark got him and I was with him but was unable to stop the shark.

He did have a fear of scissors and the barber- I don't know if that was related to the past life experience.

About a year later my daughter said she really wanted to ice skate and said she wanted to go again and I said we have never been ice skating before and she said she had. I said how and she said with her other daddy. So I asked who this other daddy was and she said "my daddy from before I came here", so both of my kids had reincarnation memories.
 
We welcome debate, Artie. I have fairly clear memories of six lifetimes. I can't remember being particularly "good", or "bad" in any of them,just an ordinary person with a "shadow side". It's possible that I am a "slow learner". I have been aware on several occasions, that I was being used, in a small way, as an agent to deliver "karma" to another person. The choice was so clear that I debated for several days on whether I was willing to be "used" in that way. On a much grander spiritual scale, consider the case of Judas Iscariot. In order for Jesus' destiny, or Karma, to be fulfilled, Judas had to betray him for thirty pieces of silver. Did Judas do this willingly? Was he used as a "heavenly pawn" to make sure that Jesus' mission was fulfilled? Some of us believe that we agree to function as "actors" in another soul's story. Was there a life planning session, where he said, "Jesus, I love you. I will assist you in your life's mission in this way."? I have no answers, only questions. It sounds as though both your children have past life memories. Is it part of their life missions to cause you to ask questions, so we will all debate, and learn and grow from the experience? Once again, no answers, only questions.
 
BriarRose- "No answers only questions." I think you nailed that on the head.


Even when we get the answers, they always seem unsatisfying, like God's response to Job.


I don't like the idea that we could be "actors" performing some atrocity for the sake of the universe, but I realize that of course that is a possibility.


Still most of us are looking for a coherent, logical and emotionally acceptable model of the universe that is always out of reach, just natural I suppose.


Anyway, thank you all for your thoughts.
 
Hi Artie1,


I have copied your posts to the children's section since I believe it deserves a full discussion and is a topic separate from the questions and adult area. I hope you don't mind. ;)
 
What would be interesting would be to have your son draw the fishing scene and your daughter draw the ice-skating scene to see what they depict. I know when I was about 5 and we were asked to draw ourselves, I always drew myself with black hair even though my hair is brown. I remember the teacher asking me when I had black hair and I would answer "It should be black. They got it wrong." I never knew who "they" were, but they got it wrong!


(No, I won't dye it. Black hair dye never looks as good as naturally black hair, IMO. Besides, that would be lying in a way.)
 
I think it would be boring to live in an area like Asia or Africa where everyone has black hair. I'm somewhat startled when I see an African American or Asian American woman who has dyed her hair blond or red. Back in the 1970's after Nixon visited China there was a news story about some state dinner in Beijing (old Peking) and one American family who had their 9 year old son with them at the table. After a while the boy asked his dad why all the Chinese were staring at him. His dad replied, "You are the first red-haired boy they have seen in their whole life."
 
I think we are all most beautiful with the hair color the creator intended us to have, but minor adjustments can be good for the soul! ;)
 
LOLx2! Yeah, to each his or her own. I don't color my hair even though I'm going prematurely grey. I'm getting those really cool pepper-grey streaks on the sides and I quite like them!
 
LOL I have promised myself to age gracefully. I figure I'm guaranteed to do at least one of the two! (For awhile, at least...)
