Driving to Burger King today for a lunch play date with my kids, my 6 yr. old son says to me out of the freaking blue.
"Mom, your soul like a ghost in your heart" and when your body dies, and your heart stops, your soul leaves and then goes to a pregnant woman for her new baby.”
I was dumbfounded to say the least, he has said some pretty intense things before, but this trumps them all.
I said to him, "Adam, where did you hear that from?"
Adam "Just was thinking about it, cause my soul belonged to a man named John Songa/Sonja, who died in California before I was born."
Now keep in mind, I have not raised my children with any religion to speak of, let alone went into an philosophical talks regarding souls etc. He goes on to tell me that
“John traveled all over the world, and he was old when he died, he spoke English & Hebrew and I think France (meaning French), he had a wife and a bunch of kids, and grand kids”.
I think my son is intelligent, but this goes beyond comprehension for 6 yr. olds in my opinion. I am 37 and could have not made a better analogy. I now am searching the internet for anyone name John Songa/Tzonga/Sonja or remotely close, purely out of curiosity but with a little hope that maybe my darling son is onto something big.
Have any of you heard this analogy before referring to one’s soul? And when he said “Pregnant woman” I couldn’t help but think of “A pregnant woman has no soul”..how fucking bizarre it this?
