That
baby has been here before! — The recognition of worldliness in the eyes and posture of a
baby or young child. This preternatural awareness indicates that the child hasn’t forgotten much between the
death in the last lifetime and the reincarnation into this lifetime.
Though largely belonging to the religions of the book, African American Black culture, low key, accepts reincarnation as a metaphysical possibility.
Young
boys who carry themselves in this way are given nicknames like “Half Man”.
They are also called Li’l + (a name). So there will be a Big Mike and a Li’l Mike, for example.
Most little boys named
Michael are bad; and, little boys who attract bad boy names HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN HERE BEFORE.
People who fulfill this
definition are charismatic and have a lifetime of adventures.
Interestingly, this behavior is encouraged in boys; but, not in
girls which leads to predictably bad outcomes in both situations.
In the disco era, a song called: There but for the Grace of Gods described the birth of “…a little girl with a crooked smile” who does not come to a good end because she is smothered by overprotection.
The opposite of this is adventurous boys who end up at the wrong place at the wrong
time.
Surviving these adventures whether you are a man or a woman earns you the moniker “Old
Head” meaning: not only have you seen a lot; but you have lived to tell about it.
And
maybe people should both listen to and learn from your experiences.
