A US boy is not going back to school - after he was declared the reincarnation of a Buddhist holy man who first died in 1250.

this boy, if his parents had interviened, would have never lived his life to his potential. now what parent could live knowing their love in a sense killed their child. people like him are not picked out of hat and if you read the article you would know he is well aware of his responsibilty.

I quite agree. Being aware of a past life can enhance the present but the present should not be dictated by the past ... this could cause all kinds of phsychological trauma to the boys development.

with the same respect not letting him go could very well do the same.

on top of that it's a selfish idea to say, "this would ruin his opportunity to life". what is the meaning of one life to itself vs one life to an entire culture?

Glory and Responsibility of a previous time belongs to that time. It is up to his parents to honour that. He lives in a world that is now gone. This is not his people. It is not that time. It is a new time, and he is meant to be a new man.

Encouraging someone to hold tight to that which is gone is not glory, or responsibility, or honour. Even if he was not picked out of a hat, the hat he has been handed belongs to another all the same.

That culture can and will survive just fine without him. Indeed, they might do better to be looking at who they are than what they were.

to use your metaphor he is wearing the hat now and it holds more will and more meaning to this life than he would ever on his own as it is that will and meaning to life that has very well put him where he belongs for a purpose.

Hey there notsympl,

I was giving my opinion drawn from my personal experience as a mother and as a pastlife regression therapist (I have years of experience on both counts) ... not from a perspective of either political or religious fervour.

hey woody, i'm not trying to be hostile and your field is tough as it's still developing. from my point of view everyone is born with a new conscience but also are guided by their soul. souls are not always new and this boy clearly has an old soul which has a purpose. souls need to experience life and grow with greater conscience. denying that, imo, would do more damage to the boy. accepting that would allow this boy to be what he already is. his parents already knew he was different and at 11 if his life has already submitted there's only one solution.

I respect that you are a Past Life Regressionist and I am a Past Life Reader but do not do it on demand or for a living.

I think that each circumstance would be specific. We can say but shouldn't if this was the right or wrong decision on the parts of this boys parents.

If my soul incarnated at this time to perform a particular task and I could in fact determine that by one of my past lives, well I think it would be a sad waste not to aknowlege it and take the responsibility of my contract to myself. Especially at this time.

Just my opinion and I do respect and honor yours as well.

PEACE!
Cindy

Hey there I appologize if I came across a little hostile ... this is a subject I'm passionate about.

I understand the point you make more than you can know ... I just think the boy should have been allowed to develop more then make his own choice later.

Absolutely, but the boy is not making that choice to fulfill his 'contract' ... his parents are.

Surely the boy alone is responsible for making such an important decision ... to act or not when he is old enough.

I hear you.
What if however despite his young age he is conscious enough to make that choice?

Only read this if you are quite young?
