MULTI-PART BLOG - part 2

In 1985 my dad passed away. I had some difficulty dealing with his passing and about five years later a friend suggested that I contact a woman who is a practicing medium. I attended a session and handed her my father's wallet. She touched it, went into a trance and knew of my father's illness and explained to me that he only wanted me to be happy and would be waiting for me someday. What also interested me was her reading of my life force. She said that I had lived a previous life as a Mayan athlete and that I would be moving north to a safe place. Well, about twelve years later, we moved from Cheshire, Connecticut to rural northeastern Connecticut where things are much safer and less hectic. I spoke to a Native American friend and related the medium's comments to her. She said that would explain my caring for all living things and of Mother Earth herself. Delving deeper, I learned of the Mayans' reverence for caves as sacred places. Having been in Caves in New York, West Virginia, and Bermuda, this explains my attraction to caves and the sense of peace that surrounds me when I am in a cave. I also found myself attracted to forests (especially rainforests), mountains, streams, cacao beans, quinoa, and chia seeds. All prevalent in either the Mayan or other Central and South American cultures. When I visited the Peabody Museum of Natural History in New Haven, CT as a young boy, I was attracted to their many artifacts from Mesoamerica. Throughout my young adult life I have purchased books, flutes, jewelery and other items related to these cultures. Can all these be indicators of a past life as a member of the Mayan civilization? Perhaps someday I will have proof. To be continued . . .
