Children's Past Life Memories

Life is a condition of spiritual amnesia for the vast majority of Souls. Most of us forget our passage to birth and our cosmic status as sparks of consciousness. Physical embodiment and social conditioning dull awareness, causing us to believe that sensory perception is the only reality.
Elizabeth and Neil Carman, Cosmic Cradle

Children remember far more than we might ever imagine. Not just their recent postnatal past, but life in utero, past lives, life between lives, and the decision to reincarnate. Even at the very young age of two or three children can share memories with parents, but their odd or precocious comments are often rationalized away as coincidence or confusion on the part of the child.

We discount verbal references to "my other mother" or detailed knowledge about things the child just simply couldn't know, or off-hand comments to parents saying they were "chosen" by the child while in heaven. Sadly, less benign memories such as how the child died in a previous life can cause extreme emotional reactions to loud noises like fireworks or recurring night terrors or unexplainable fears and phobias misunderstood as pathology by medical professionals to whom parents and caretakers turn.

As adults we can access past life memories in a number of ways, including: regression, hypnosis, dreams, even unsettling and unexplainable waking visions. But young children's past life memories are much more immediate, vivid and spontaneous.

Up to about the age of seven, children have the capacity to spontaneously remember previous experiences (physical and spiritual). But without language, the new-born or infant child cannot communicate their inner thoughts or memories. Behaviors or tendencies and accelerated development might suggest an unspoken story. Still, it is not until the child becomes verbal that they can speak in ways that often surprise and puzzle adults.

When children speak from their hearts about heaven, death, and rebirth ... they are speaking from direct experience. Their memories of the spiritual realms are still fresh. They still remember their most recent sojourn in in the timeless boundless space of ... universal love and wisdom.
Carol Bowman: Children’s Pat Lives

In essence, we are spiritual beings living a physical existence. We’ve done it before. We will do it again. Children, even newborns, know this. Adults have simply forgotten. Perhaps we have forgotten too much. However, before the veil of forgetfulness descends, newborns and very young children find themselves in many respects living in two worlds. Two realities. Not fully in one or the other. And there is the spiritual interlude between each life (if experienced) which the child also can remember.

The question that arises is "How can parents and caretakers guide children through their multidimensional beginning here on earth?"

How can we help the child navigate a journey that we ourselves have forgotten or perhaps vehemently reject as possible. Accepting as valid a child's prenatal or even preconception experiences may force parents and caretakers to suspend their own fundamental beliefs about reality, life and death, science, religion, consciousness, even the human capacity to align with a spiritual realm. It is no small task.

Brian Weiss,, MD is an early pioneer in past-life studies. He is a traditionally trained psychiatrist, a graduate of Columbia University and Yale Medical School and Chairman Emeritus of Psychiatry at the Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami, FL. As a traditional by-the-book medical professional, Weiss was astonished and skeptical when a patient began recalling past-life traumas that seemed to hold the key to her recurring nightmares and anxiety attacks. This experience and many others to follow eroded Weiss's skepticism and put him on the path to profoundly new ways of treating patients and normalizing the practice of their treatment with past-life therapies. Other clinicians who came before and after Weiss's discoveries stumbled into the subject of past lives in just the same way, through unbiased treatment of patients. Weiss himself came to a new more intuitive way of understanding reality when he wrote these three simple words:

Experience Transcends Belief

To acknowledge and validate a child's very real memories and experiences, no matter how against the grain they may seem, requires a suspension of certain beliefs: unquestioned or unexamined beliefs that we learned as children ourselves; religious dogmas, basic assumptions (time is linear, the sky is blue); rigid social norms, fears of the unknown, beliefs about ourselves (good or bad) that blind us to the extra-ordinary in every day life.

Let our children teach us as they help pull back the veil of our own forgetfulness.
