Back in April, I shared about my fear of bridges and how Lucas seemed to read my mind about these fears. My psychic friend later suggested it was a left-over fear from a past-life bridge accident in which both Lucas and I lost our lives. Thinking of it this way helped me let go of the fear since I decided to trust that it wasn't some sort of intuitive premonition about an event to come. Regardless of the truth of the matter either way, it worked for me, and I haven't felt the fear response for months. Lucas has also not mentioned it since then.
Until the other day…
I was driving over a new overpass from one freeway to another, and as we began the upward curve, I felt the subtle twinge of fear returning. As soon as it leveled off and began to drop down, the feeling disappeared. I was absent-mindedly pondering why the fear response only seems to happen on the upward curve, and wondered if that was the location on the bridge where the past-life accident had occurred. Meanwhile, Lucas had been in his car seat pretending to play a variety of musical instruments. As we'd begun our ascent up the curve, I'd heard him say, "I'm putting all my instruments away. I'm putting them in cases so they'll be safe when we bump." I wasn't really paying much attention to him, and what he said didn't register right away.
But at the same moment when I felt my own fear dissipate as we began to come down the overpass, Lucas said, "It's safe now. I am taking out all my instruments." I realized his words were mirroring my own meandering thoughts. I asked him why he had put his instruments away a moment ago. He said he wanted them to be safe so when the car "bumped over" they wouldn't get smushed.
Make of it what you will.
For those of you with intuitive children, do you have similar stories of them reading your thoughts or recalling past life experiences? I'd love to read about them in the comments.

Recently, I have had to consider a kind of elective surgery for our daughter. She has a small umbilical defect that the doctor wanted to repair, but my husband and I were not sure that we should do it. I was sitting quietly in a darkened room, by myself, pondering the topic, working through my fears, when all of a sudden, my daughter came out of her room (it was bedtime) and told me about some scary thoughts she had. She said in her thought I took her to a place where they put needles in her body and made her sleep and she never woke up again. She wanted to know why I took her to 'the dying place' and left her there. I was shaking after she finished telling me her story. My greatest fear had been that she would die from anaesthesia during elective surgery. Obviously, my husband and I decided not to have the surgery and just take the wait and see approach. My daughter is only four years old, but this is just the most recent of so many incidents like this. It has helped me to realize that consciousness is far more fluid and much less localized than we (as a society) believe or are prepared to accept. It has also helped me to trust my own intuition more, and doctors (who stand to benefit substantially from ordering procedures) much less.
Randi~ Thanks so much for sharing this story with us! Wow. How lucky for all of you that you were sensitive enough to listen to your amazing daughter and respect the message she was relaying. Whew! I would love to learn more about the other experiences you mentioned.
I love what you wrote about consciousness being more fluid and less localized than we tend to think. That's such an interesting way of looking at it, rather than reading others' thoughts. I'm so glad you joined the conversation here.
Cheers!
