What occurs when two kindred souls are separated by tragic events beyond their control?
Driven by an unquenchable longing, they seek each other across the expanse of space and time.
As fate would have it, here in Singapore, they were brought together once again after what felt like an eternity apart.
The Unusual Encounter
Years ago, Aizat crossed paths with Tiên, a Vietnamese lady with a young daughter named Linh.
From their first meeting, Aizat noticed Linh’s unusual affinity to him. “She clings to me like superglue,” Aizat exclaimed. Her mother found this behaviour peculiar, as Linh was typically reserved around strangers and even her own father. This strange attraction eventually drew Aizat and Tiên closer.
Aizat, sensing a possible past life connection with Linh, sought my assistance to delve deeper.
Regression to a Former Existence
During the session, Aizat experienced vivid imagery. As he descended from the cloud (a method used to access a former existence), he found himself on a vast grassy plain.
Aizat’s former personality appeared as a lean, dark-skinned boy dressed in a black t-shirt and brown shorts, walking barefoot. He held a few prized marbles that he had unearthed from the dirt.
Aizat was puzzled at what he was seeing and this is normal. The trance at the start of a past life regression session is light and impressions don’t come readily.
Walking along a dirt path, he saw a few villagers cycling past him. It was clear he was in a rural part of 20th century Asia, though the exact location remained uncertain.
For now, let’s name his past personality Hải.
The Village
Hải arrives in a remote village nestled among paddy fields. The homes resemble simple huts, and the area appears rather primitive.
Hải returns to a home that resembles a hut. A younger girl, whom he senses was his sister, is inside.
Siblings Dearest
Aizat observed that the siblings spent considerable time together and relished each other’s company. Hải held a special place in his sister’s heart, as they had only each other for playmates while their mother was consistently preoccupied with work.
A: I feel like we are quite close and we just play with a lot of random things on a day to day basis. Whenever they could escape the confines of home, they would take off. Hải’s sister was particularly lively and rowdy, enjoying rough play with her brother.
Aizat’s face wore a gentle smile as he recalled the joy of playing with his beloved sister.
Emotions often reveal a deep connection between the present and past personalities. If the session were merely a flight of fantasy, it would likely lack the emotional depth observed.
Given the close bond between Hải and his sister, I decided to delve further into their relationship.
A Bag Full of Sorrows
Hải is now sixteen, carrying a bag filled with his belongings and his deepest sorrows.
Today marked the day he would say farewell to his family. The expressions on his mother and sister’s faces conveyed the devastation and sadness they felt, knowing this might be their final farewell.
As the sorrow welled up, he fought back tears, striving to appear strong for his family.
The local government had mandated the conscription of all able-bodied men to serve in the army to defend the nation. Hải was no exception. After saying his goodbyes, he cycled away. Without transport to pick him up, he and the other conscripts assembled at a designated spot to await an army truck.
Awaiting Orders
Hải stands in formation along with other foot soldiers in an army camp, awaiting instructions. A deep sorrow grips him as he reflects on leaving his family behind, knowing that the army may be sending him to face death.
The camp is located in a forest clearing, seemingly isolated from the rest of the world. The scene is monotonous: soldiers in drab green fatigues march to and fro with their platoons, while commanders bark orders.
The men alongside Hải are likely from his platoon, though he has yet to become familiar with them. They are not from the same village. It feels as though the assignment to various platoons was random and impersonal.
Sentry in the Jungle
As the scene shifted, Hải found himself aboard a jeep with fellow soldiers, navigating through dense jungle. Clutching a rifle, he felt an overwhelming sense of fear.
Upon disembarking from the jeep, the platoon marched to their designated post, where a watchtower stood. Hải’s duty was to serve as a sentry around this structure. A deep sense of homesickness began to gnaw at him.
His thoughts were abruptly drawn to the marble he had discovered in his childhood.
Aizat sobbed as he reconnected with the emotions from his past personality.
Silence Shattered
The jungle’s tranquility shattered as the first shots of gunfire erupted through the air.
The Americans had launched an assault on his position. At that moment, it became clear this was the brutal Vietnam War, which had torn the nation into two warring factions.
As the battle raged, Hải witnessed his comrades falling one by one. Overcome with panic, he deserted his platoon, seeking refuge far away from the imminent danger.
A wave of guilt washed over him for abandoning his comrades. He chided himself for his cowardice and resolved to return to the battle zone.
The End
As Hải made his way back to the heart of the battle, he took the lives of several enemies. In his final moments, he was overpowered by an adversary who pinned him to the ground with a boot pressing against his left bicep.
During this recollection, Aizat experienced a distinct sensation of pain in his left bicep. When an individual is deeply associated with his former personality, they often relive not just the emotions but also the physical sensations of that former existence.
Defenceless and without a weapon, Hải met his end with a bullet to the chest. Aizat later revealed a birthmark precisely at the spot where the bullet had pierced his chest.
Life Between Lives
When I conduct sessions, I always do it with therapy in mind, focusing on healing the client. Hence, I guide them to the bardo—a concept of Tibetan origin—or the place of overview.
This is a space where souls linger for a number of earthly days, typically odd-numbered, to review their lives and bid their loved ones goodbye. Several therapists have stumbled upon and independently confirmed this phenomenon. Interestingly, Asian cultures also observe a wake lasting 3 or 5 days after death, during which rituals inform the deceased of their passing and encourage them to move on.
Aizat discovers during the life review that Hải’s brief life was marked predominantly by the joys of childhood. Otherwise, there was nothing notable about that lifetime. His family consisted only of his mother and sister, with his father absent for reasons unknown. He recounts that he was not particularly close to his mother.
In the bardo, I also inquired about the purpose behind Hải’s brief and tragic life.
The session was progressing well, and Aizat was receiving vivid images. To bring peace to the soul, it is beneficial for it to witness the aftermath of death.
In the following part, I invite characters from the former life as needed for a dialogue with Hải. Hypnotherapists refer to this as hypnodrama to bring the former lifetime chapter to a closure and resolving karmic ties between present day Aizat and Hải and his family.
It was a tearful reunion between the family who were painfully torn apart by the ravages of the Vietnam War.
As the eyes of a person are the windows to their soul, I asked him to gently gaze into the eyes of his sister, hoping to identify her in Aizat’s life today. In my mind, I was almost certain she was Linh but a therapist never assumes.
In fact, Aizat had sensed this connection from the beginning of the session.
Against all odds, the two kindred souls have reunited.
When asked if there was a promise made by his sister to reconnect, she playfully quipped, “I’m not done playing with you.”
The Web of Incredible Synchronicities
Aizat’s chest birthmark stands as a compelling connection to Hải.
Also, Aizat and Tiên were born in entirely different countries, with the odds of their meeting being virtually zero. Yet, serendipity played a crucial role in their eventual encounter. In fact, they almost didn’t meet.
Tiên’s ex-husband had sought employment abroad and Singapore wasn’t on their list. However, circumstances led them to Singapore. Once there, Tiên intended to join a club where Aizat was a member. Despite her attempts to contact various branches across the island, only Aizat’s branch responded. Her first experience with the club left her unimpressed except for Aizat’s impeccable performance.
Despite a myriad of cultural differences in their relationship checklist, Aizat and Tiên felt an undeniable pull towards one another.
Further strengthening the link between their lives is the striking resemblance between Linh and Hải’s sister. According to the Hindu Vedas, our past karma (the results of our actions) and samskara (our desires and habits) shape our current existence. Similarly, childhood experiences forge the adult we become. Linh’s being “superglued” to Aizat, her playful disruptions, and her rowdiness mirror the behaviour of Hải’s sister. This persona was reserved solely for Aizat. Around others she was typically shy and quiet. As if this wasn’t convincing enough, Aizat shared that stringing beads together to make necklaces was one of her favourite activities.
Aizat also mentioned that since young, he’s had a special affinity for Vietnam, having visited the country multiple times. Coincidentally (or maybe not), during our session, his family was vacationing in Vietnam. To add to the strangeness, that very morning, I had been researching places to visit in Vietnam for my upcoming trip.
And as I prepared to meet Aizat that day, I noticed a bottle of marbles on my floor, left behind by my children, which I had placed on my desk just before leaving home.
In Conclusion
I hold a deep admiration for the works of Dolores Cannon, Morris Netherton, and Michael Newton. They masterfully weave their clients’ past life stories into a web of intricate tales. They read like a fantasy novel, except they embody a modicum of truth. The details of their sessions are occasionally verifiable.
Reading their books offers a journey through the cosmos, across space and time, but nothing compares to the experience of listening to a client’s story of their past existence as a therapist. The experience is nothing short of mind-bending.
I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to witness and share this story, and I thank my client for allowing me to present his story to the world.
