My 3 year old son describing a past life...
This very odd past-life conversation occurred with my just turned 3-year-old.
Eric: “I want my sister.”
Me: “You don’t have a sister.”
Eric: “My sister! My sister!”
Me: confused…
Eric: Far away look in his eyes… “We live…”
Me catching on: “Where do you live?”
Eric: “Small house.”
Me: “What is it made out of?”
Eric: “Wood.”
Me: “Does it have doors?”
Eric: “One.”
Me: “What is around your house?”
Eric: “Trees. Snow too.”
Me: How do you get around?”
Eric: “Sled.”
Me: “How does your sled move?”
Eric: “Dogs.”
Me: “How many?”
Eric: “Five.”
Me: “What do you eat?”
Eric: “Food. I hunt.”
Me: “How do you catch the animals?”
Eric: “My sister! My sister!” (He can’t deal with any more questions. He spoke with longing and had a far away look in his eyes.)
Then he became more present and said quite fiercely: “Mom, I want a sister!”
Me: (Nonplused… My husband and I had just split up!... I just gave him a big hug in answer.)
The whole thing seemed so off the wall, unexpected, and uncanny. I had no idea about previous lives. This was in 1988 long before internet and we didn’t have a T.V.
