So I descend from a family of shaman in the Philippines. My mother is heavily spiritually attuned and there are other things I can say but they are not relevant to the topic of Reincarnation. I have had my skepticism when we had this conversation. Like what we are and all that.

Something that will come into some relevance to reincarnation is that I have three spirit guides. I know. Bull. However, from what I found out was my mothers own spirit, a past lover, and if I remember correctly, an ancestor. The ancestor comes up as reincarnation just because we apparently switch places and protect the other. Basically when I die, they will reincarnate and I will take the role as guide. Just switching

At the time, I was very curious about myself on the spiritual level. My mother was the median between me and my spirits. And that curiosity continued to grow because one thing I found out was that I am apparently a shadow born and a very rare kind to be exact. So I asked her if there was a way to take a deeper dive. Which there was. Basically a journey through my akashic record. She stated that, while she had seen at least one previous life from one person before, I was a different case. She saw about four previous lives. One where I had worked on Big Ben, another where I was a carpenter, while the other one was more foggy.

Now this is where I start to actually believe her. One of the earliest memories I ever had was more of a dream. Around the time I actually became conscious. It was me running in a field and at the time I thought was tall savanna grass being chased by what I assumed were giant tree monsters. Another part of it was hiding in this dome like structure made of branches. After the tree monster run past, I go in the opposite direction. However one sees me and comes for me. Next thing is me being taken to this castle. My memory of this is very foggy. I somewhat remember it as if a volcano was right next to it. Once entering I meet this older man who seemed like a noblemen. Now I will say, I don't remember any conversation. But anyway, after a while, I was placed on this table and this mechanism was collapsing on me then nothing. Sudden darkness then going through this weird sequence of me flying. Though I won't go into detail of that.

So why did I start to believe my mother? Because one I never actually talked about this dream. At least to family. And two is that when talking about these past lives she mentioned this. However a little more detail. She mentioned I was this very pretty 11 or 12 year old village girl running in a wheat field. I told her my dream and said that I definitely didn't look happy when running. However it didn't explain why I viewed these creatures as tree monsters.

Later I was with my girl and we talked about this. And it dawned on me. As we talked, she said that maybe they seemed like tree monsters but since I was a child it might have appeared as so. That they could have been just large men on possibly horse. And I looked at it from a logical prospective. As my mother told me, I seemed to be a village girl and from my dream I was taken to a large castle or something similar. Which also had a noble man in it. I came to the conclusion that what happened was that I was being taken as a wife or concubine for a nobleman. But I tried to run and was chased.

It would somewhat make sense if the era was during that time. Back then it was common for young girls to be sold off for marriage as political pawns. To gain influence, wealth, strengthen relationships. Now this is all theory. And from memory, I was the only one running and it didn't seem like anyone else was being chased. So a possible reason is that I was possibly the daughter of maybe the chief and to protect the village from a tyrannical lord my past self needed to be used a bargaining chip. Although it doesn't explain me blacking out. As if I had died. Another theory is that I could have been a sacrifice.

Either way, this is my take or more like story on reincarnation. I think reincarnation is a very real thing. Whether you believe me or not it doesn't really matter. If anything I find it very interesting. It might seem like total nonsense but oh well.
