I am currently reading Colin Fry`s latest book, Secrets From The Afterlife. Colin is a well known TV psychic medium in the U.K.

One passing of a 28 day old baby into the Afterlife where he is being looked after by his grandmother, as related to the baby`s parents by Colin, set my mind thinking.
Does the baby`s soul/spirit continue to develop or does it remain as a baby? If so, how is it to develop spiritually? Invariably when we read/hear of people who have passed over at an old age or with some deformity or infirmity they always appear perfectly  normal  and usually at a much younger age when they were at their best. This explanation appears perfectly plausible as it was the physical body which had the impediment and not the soul/spirit.
We are also told that when we pass over there are friends or relatives to welcome us into the Afterlife. Could these include a baby or child someone had lost many years ago? If so, would the child`s soul/spirit then be able to develop further, along with it`s parents, even though time, per se, does not exist in the Afterlife?
Could that soul/spirit also reincarnate?

I find this very intriguing and wonder what others thoughts are on this.

Reminds me of my wife who carried a baby for six months,and something happened and she lost it.Then about 25 years after,I has a dream where I met a Young man.I said who are you,and he said I am your son.George

Hi Roger,

Chapter 2 on the "Afterlife 101" website has some interesting interpretations as to what happens to children. It also discusses miscarriages, abortions and sudden infant death syndrome.

Hi Robin-
Not exactly. Gladys said that she hypnotizes (meaning, places Mom in a deep introspective meditative state, the same thing) in which case she, meaning Mom,  is able to communicate with the fetus. Many women have told me that they are always "kind of aware" of what the fetus is doing and thinking anyway. Then, the question is to explain what is happening that makes it not a very good time. And, as George observed above, the fetus has the option of leaving, after which it is quite common to return at a later time.

Of course I have to take this on faith, since I'm not very well equipped for birthing an infant, but Dr McCrary says it works remarkably well. I stumbled into this inrformation at a seminar in which she was actuially talking about rebirths and continuoity of connections. To me it was the answer to all manner of unpleasant things that women have done when they get preggers at an inopportune moment (since I'm a clinician), and for the fetus, I'd bet that it beats a D&C all ways from Sunday. Best of all, it is a respectful coordination of timing, as opposed to a "surgical intervention", and it leads to beneficial states, as opposed to horriffic ones. The benefits are similar to talking to entities to go into the Light instead of trying to exorcize them.

I guess that one might say that Mom gets an "into-body experience" instead of "out of body", but it all does the same thing.

Greetings,

Alan, as much as I dislike disagreeing with you, I must.
My own experience was that my third eye opened prematurely during some abuse and a sense
of I/myself as a thinking conscious soul became immediately active. I knew what was happening,
what its implications were for my future, and even recalled my prelife arrangements for this time
around and how they would be affected by the changes being forced upon me. --- Maybe not all that at once but in very short order.

Perhaps you are given new souls in your family and area due to unique qualifications, but some of us
have been round before. Hopefully we start anew and innocent and hopefully that period of refreshing
life called childhood is not taken from us.

I am very much a newbie as far as the reincarnation thing is concerned, as you know. I don’t think I am a new soul (remember the black three legged pot?). Especially looking at the marks of time that are now like highways on my face. I have much to learn on this topic and you can proberly remember my initial skeptism on this belief, when I first joined the forum.

"I have often wondered about the apparent wisdom one so often sees in the eyes of a new born baby. Have you ever observed this?"

Nice very nice and as a father of four daughters and ten grandchilden, what you so correctly put makes me have a rethink about reicarnation. The fact that I am or was a skeptic does not invalidate the truth of this belief.
