CHILDRENS PAST LIVES by Carol Bowman
Interviewed by Art Bell '99, sum. by sunanda
I've known of humans/childrens pastlives for 20+ years, so am happy to hear a mother clearly expressing awareness of reincarnation from childs family experience. She published a book a couple years ago on this, after years of research in it. 100s (1000s?) of cases of proven pastlives of children are found in India & Asia, many reported in US literature, which began with Search for Bridey Muphy in U$ 1950s.
This reminds me of Children Remember Birth by David Chamberlain @ '90 & the rebirthing flashes of 1000s of people in soul healing conscious breathwork. However the new(eternal?) trend of children recalling & telling of past lives seems so radical, that maybe we live in a psychic universe of soul travel(Eckankar like) that rebirthing into other lifecycles are normal karma yoga needs to learn, rebalance & complete our love in family living?! Carol tells that reincarnating souls often are reborn in the same yet changing family soul group to learn &or heal some old patterns, often about one dying in war, suffering or an accident. Kids maybe reborn as grandchildren, or more intimate with grandparents than with bioparents! is reported from many sources. Carol claims 100s of stories of kids past lives & 1000s of such documents by Dr. Stevenson in his 2 vol. book Biological Reincarnation.
THERE's many mysterious (causes of) birth effects like: birthmarks, unique allergies, aflictions & talents; C-section, premature & late births; early terminal illness & SIDS(crib death), recall of womb life; knowing angels, God &or heaven; strange hair patterns, ancient memories, unknown pains & extreme fears & needs; etc. We each have some unique qualities, instincts, needs &or beliefs.
Its even more mysterious when kids are not like parents
& surprize us with words, abilities & phsyical problems.
We know that all humans & animals imprint in the womb, at birth & during bonding phases, when connecting to mother (or not) neglecting early needs for nurturing.
So the karmic causes of our conception, astro-imprints, birth & bonding cycles must begin in pastlives to live out now. Carol gives some simple suggestions for learning with our kids who can recall pastlives, if allowed & encouraged to share it. If we shut them down, they forget, numb out &or rebel from family bonding & psychic living. She expressed a clear 'rebirthing' awareness we all have, to use if trusting it. I deeply love & Thank Carol & friends for revealing this cosmic capacity we all have to remember if aware & trusting our evolution of souls on earth in the infinite universe.
