Anybody here have pre-birth memories?

I remember kick-fights with my twin brother.

[Paul Heinzman]

Anybody here have pre-birth memories?

Sure: I remember a lot from before my kids were born.

[Paul Heinzman]

I was all warm and snuggly in my mother’s womb, sucking my thumb and thinking “I hope I don’t get aborted today.”

Being an unborn baby is the most dangerous job in the world. If the boss doesn't like you, you're dead.

[Paul Heinzman]

Have you ever read "Journey of Souls" by Dr. Michael Newton?

Oh, there's a book about it? Then it must be true.

[Paul Heinzman]

You know what I call someone who claims to have pre-birth memories besides being flat out NUts? I call them a liar.

I don't know about that. I suppose it's possible to have some memories from the womb. Some of my earliest memories are from around the time the Silver Bridge collapsed, my parents and neighbors talking about it, but folks in Henderson WV were talking about it for years.

I found out much later in life that I was on the Silver Bridge that day. We'd gone across the river to get our Christmas tree. I was three at the time, but I don't know when the conversations took place. I remember them talking about a neighbor who was never found.

[Paul Heinzman]

Wait, you remember going into your body before you were born? I always thought incarnation took place when the human body took its first breath.

Uh-oh, Spaghetti-O. DUmmie New-Age spiritualism meets DUmmie culture of death.

[Paul Heinzman]

I know there are a couple of things that are supposed to happen yet in my life that I remember planning.

Like using deodorant, getting a job and finally cleaning that damn basement maybe?

[FredZarguna]

My prebirth memory involves being in a parking lot with guys named Mr. Orange, Mr. Blue, Mr. Brown, Mr. White and Mr. Pink. Two guys in uniforms were herding us toward the exit. I got a digital photograph, and had to wait forty years for the technology to decode it, just so I could post it here.

People kept referring to life on the material plane as "the Job."

Ahhh... Geneva on the lake... French fries, penny arcades..

[Paul Heinzman]

For some reason I am sort of "politicked out" today.

I can't imagine why.

I have very fond memories, and at the age of 4 wanted to chuck it all and go back. I had a wonderful group of very loving beings to hang with. Also, making the decisions for this life on that side seemed like a walk in the park compared to how they've worked out on this side. Thankfully the other side still communicates when they can get through to me and they laugh at the serious person I have become over here.

I had an imaginary friend when I was four. Only one, and it didn't last long. I guess if I had never gone outside and discovered other people then I might have created a fantasy population of friend and made up a prebirth history for them. Then after growing up, still having never been outside or meeting others, I would have gotten a computer and joined DU. Thank God Mom kicked me out of the house for most of my youth. I'd rather have my kid join a street gang than DU. At least he'd have some non-virtual friends.

[Paul Heinzman]

I think that it is very possible to have memories from the womb. The way I interpret this thread is that the DUmmies' idea of "pre-birth" memories are what their spirits were doing while communing with the spirits of the trees, rocks, moon, sun, constellations, u.s.w., before the heretofore lifeless wad of tissue travelled through the birth canal to the world and was then determined worthy of life by the mother.

At that point (they believe) a spirit moves into the the fetus, which is subsequently promoted to the status of a human being.

This thread is a gem: (Warning: Finish all beverages before reading!) http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x8111214

The OP in that thread is either the dumbest DUmmie of them all, or the finest troll I've ever seen. That is beautiful, but unfortunately they locked it at 130 posts.

[lieutenant columbo]

I like the one who remembers jumping on the “Today Sponge.”

Does anybody here have a DU account? It would be fun to post about remembering when you were aborted.

[arizonarachel]

Ahhhhhh! What a hilarious thread.

[samiam1972]

See post #56. I TOLD you I lose brain cells with every pregnancy which accounts for my occasional, um, glitches. Yeah. ;0)

[wagglebee]

I TOLD you I lose brain cells with every pregnancy which accounts for my occasional, um, glitches.

I would need some more definitive proof that you weren't nuts BEFORE you started having kids! :-)

[LibertyRocks]

I totally agree with you - especially as it relates to changing people’s minds about abortion in particular...

One true story to share here...
My mother passed away several months before I became pregnant with my youngest daughter. When she was about two years old I remember speaking with her about my mom. I brought out pictures (I didn’t have any up on my dresser or on the walls or anything, so it’s not like she could’ve seen them beforehand).

Anyway, we looked at the pictures, and as I was showing her one of myself and my mom she asked me — “Who is that lady?” I replied that it was my mom. She then said to me, “I know her. She’s really nice, she took care of me when I was in heaven”. It shocked me at first, but seeing how young she was, I didn’t try to talk her out of it or anything. And, besides, what if she really did meet my mother in heaven before she was conceived - as a soul, with God knowing she would be a part of our family before we knew it ourselves? Kind of cool, huh?

Another thing: we were not attending church and such at the time (long story), and I didn’t speak too often about my mother, nor did I speak about heaven. So where she got it from - I have no idea... I’d like to think that it was true. And to this day she STILL insists that she remembers my mother, and that she took care of her “before she came to Earth from Heaven”... Out of the mouths of babes...

Thanks so much for sharing your story. As I said, I too believe that discussions of this sort would have a profound effect on those who believe babies are just a “clump of cells”... Nothing could be further from the truth! :)

I experienced something like this with my oldest (Freeper Izzy_Box) when I was pregnant with her.

I remember driving one day to pick up my husband from work, and I had ZZ Top on the radio - quite loud in fact (it was a beautiful day, and I was in a great mood). Anyway, she started kicking exactly in time to the beat of the song. With every bass beat, I got a jab in the tummy! It was the weirdest sensation - but very incedible, and awesome at the same time. (Oh, and she still has a really good sense of rhythm!)

[samiam1972]

I’ve got nothing. I married dh. That alone proves I was nuts. (Poor guy can’t even defend himself!)
