Reincarnation has been a long wavering thoughts 💭 in the mind of so many people because of how it appears confusing. And how it involves humans coming back to life when they die through the another new born baby.
This is something that is hard to believe in especially when we think of superstitiously and how religiously many has become in recent times, not wanting to associate with the things of old from our ancestors or forefathers. This has made this norm so hard as a possibility.
While growing up I experienced lots of discussion about reincarnation among people around me on how people comes back to their loved ones through their new born babies, and then I kept asking lots of questions, wanting to know how they got to know actually its one of their dead ones that has come back to life in a baby. Because I see it then as something that is impossible.
My mother later in the years explained to me how they usually know that someone who was dead has definitely came back. Although in the days of our ancestors they believed so much in consultation with the native doctors who is seen then as a card reader or one that consults with the oracles. But my mother told me stories of how they believed that one has come back to them through how some comes back with birth mark they have on their body and others through facial looks.
Her surprising story that caught my attention to the believe of reincarnation is the story of one of her late brothers who died during the war through bullet shooting . This very brother of hers came back to them through her younger sisters new born baby boy. When the child 👧 was born they noticed a big spot on his chest area , a confusing spot but the size of that of a bullet healed injury. And another surprising thing, that this birth mark was exactly at the spot where the brother was shoot during the war. They did not need to go to a native doctor to confirm this reincarnation rather they decide to wait and watch the behavior of this her nephew as he grew. And eventually, they boy began to behave like her dead brother.
There are things that seem impossible to some of us, but if we put things around us together, we will eventually resolve the puzzle 🧩. Because I believe that some certain things in life is possible despite superstitious that many of us thinks is not a thing. Many might be thinking how can one dies and comes back to life while we always says to the dead “Rest In Perfect Peace”. But do not know if the spirit of the dead actually rests, How about if the spirit of the dead actually goes about in the world 🌎 of the dead, still functioning in many ways? This is food 🥘 for thought 💭 because the living don’t know what happens in the world 🌍 of the dead.
Reincarnation is such a skeptical issue especially in Africa where I come from. Many believe up until now that either their mother has reincarnated in one of their girl child or that their father is one of their son, and all these cones from establishments of love we share with our parents while they are alive. Am still hearing things about reincarnation because of how its wildly believed in many cultures in Africa which shows that “There Is No Smoke Without Fire 🔥 “.
