not my experience, yet impressive.

Ok, now this story is shaking my beliefs and I need to share.
I heard it last night after an ayahuasca ceremony, as the group sat in a circle around a bonfire, for singing and story-telling.
This extended setting after the ceremony is just an hour or so, to make sure everyone is sober to arrive home safely.
I couldn't forget this story in particular, it was told by a midaged woman, about her younger sister.

Her sister once had a boyfriend.
They lived a happy relationship at early twenties, bout 3 years long, planning to get married and so on.
As you are probably thinking, yes, it was too good to be true and the man died.
A cliche story so far as I also thought, but she carried on with it.
After suffering a lot for some time, she was invited to drink ayahuasca, hoping to feel acceptance.
So during an aya ceremonie, she "received" a message from an entity.
Saying that someone loved her so much, that was trying to find a way back to her.
Some days later she was raped by a drunk man, and got pregnant from the act.
She couldn't get rid of the baby and decided to have it no matter what.
A boy was born and she raised him alone.
The sisters visited each other often for support, and once they where seeing an album of the couple, on their loving years.
The child was playing, passed by them and saw the picture of the man for the first time, on his mothers hands.
For their surprise he said:
"Look mommy, that's me when I was older. Yes, that's me."
Smiled at her and continued to play.

No one knew what to say as the woman shut.
Passed a minute or so of silence.

Cool story! Not to rain on the parade, per se, but I have kids and I can tell you this: they say all sorts of crazy things. That just sounds, to me, like something a kid would say. We can attribute the reasons they say them to just about anything. It's all about perception...

A nice story, and its great that it could be shared.
It sounds like it was something she needed to hear, and that seems to be how the universe works. Whether reincarnation is or is not.

Hmm weird.

I enjoyed that. Thank you for sharing.

I believe it's possible, and yes kids can say "the darndest things" but I have also heard of many people of all ages speak of their past lives. I believe reincarnation to be a strong possibility.

Wouldn't it be cool, that man wanted to be near her again so bad that he reincarnated as her child. Such an amazing idea. Do we get to choose how we reincarnate?

Yes I have a 5 year old daughter and kids do say all kinds of stuff. But there have been cases of little kids that have had knowledge of places and people far away from their birthplace that seem not connected to them in any way.

That gave me chills reading that. I watched something on tv that was similar. A child was born and had memories of a brother who died along time ago. Thank yoy for sharing that. Although thats sad the woman was raped
