Ten Aspects of a "Typical" Pre-Birth Experience

From an initial sampling, we have determined the following statistics:

When PBEs Occur:

  • 53% before conception
  • 47% after conception, before birth

To Whom PBEs Occur:

  • 63% to mothers
  • 13% to fathers
  • 24% to others -- siblings, grandparents, self in flashbacks, other relatives, close friends, midwives.

Ways and Means of PBE Communication:

When the experience involves contact or communication with spirits who have not yet been born, the contact can occur in one or more ways: 
     
  • During an NDE: there are many accounts of NDEs which describe a visit to the premortal realm. Ned Dougherty's NDE is an excellent example.
  • Very vivid dreams in which the individual sees and/or converses with a being that the individual knows has not yet been born but will be born in the future. Some cultures call this type of experience "announcing dreams".   These dreams are often extremely vivid and memorable.
  • Visions:  PBEr sees distinctly male or female form, various "ages", variously attired, while awake; sometimes form is accompanied by glow or light, sometimes not; sometimes appears and/or disappears suddenly. 
  • Auditory:  Experiencer hears a voiced message from or about the preborn. Often the voice is a child, gives its preferred name, announces that it needs to come to earth now, and/or refers to the parent as "father" or "mother".
  • Telepathy:  Preborn beings witnessed by communication directly to the experiencer's mind; telepathic or spiritual communication, as often described in NDEs.
  • Sensory:  An individual vividly senses an unseen presence hovering around them.  Along with the presence can be a distinct feeling of urgency.

Other Types of PBEs:

  • Escort to Earth:  these accounts indicate an escort who brought the preborn to earth.
  • Adoption: these accounts announce one of two things: (1) the child will be birthed by a biological parent, but is to be adopted by the parent(s) who witness the PBE; and (2) the biological parent is told that the child she carries is intended for another family--often apparently occurring to prevent the biological parent from aborting the baby; part of the message is a sense of peace, joy and purpose that gives the biological parent strength to follow through with the pregnancy.
  • Memories, flashbacks, deja vu: These include children who spontaneously report memories of siblings or themselves in their preborn state, or an adult with a vivid recollection of being in the pre-mortal realm, recalling birth or early infancy, and/or who have a flashback or vision and see themselves in the pre-mortal realm.
  • Language:  The PBEr remembers speaking a different language, or having to learn the language they speak now.
  • The Light: PBEr sees an unearthly, bright light. Usually occurs in companion with other types of PBEs. 

Ten aspects of a "typical" prebirth experience:

  • Radiation of love: The preborn radiates a powerful love to the prebirth experiencer, similar to the love felt from the light in the NDE.
  • Celestial light: The preborn may radiate, or appear in, a brilliant light that does not hurt the eyes and conveys  extraordinary peace, similar to the light in the NDE.
  • Thankful and eager to come to earth: The preborn is excited about earth life, views it as a growth opportunity, and is thankful that the parents are providing this opportunity.  Yet there may be some fear of the unknown in facing the transition to earth life.
  • Leaving a heavenly home: The preborn is eager to enter earth life, but expresses a degree of loss or apprehension at leaving the sanctuary of his heavenly home.
  • A time to come to earth: The preborn often indicates that the time in which one comes to earth is assigned, as part of a divine timetable, so personalized growth experiences can be achieved.
  • A unique mission: The preborn message conveys that each individual has special purposes or missions to accomplish during his specified time on earth.
  • Protection/Warning: Some preborn appearances provide protection or warning to the recipient. (In the case studies reviewed, aid to the PBErs was provided by the preborn to prevent or recover from suicide attempts, abuse, rape, birth control, and abortion that would block the preborn's conception and birth on earth.)
  • Messages: Some preborn appearances provide messages about something the future parent(s) or others must do as part of their earth mission or to help the preborn.
  • Escort to earth: Some preborns are brought to earth by escorts (just as some NDErs are escorted to the life after life).
  • Deja vu: Some PBEs consist of memories or flashbacks of one's pre-earth life.
