Robert's Story, 2024
In my mid-twenties, I have been in a commune for a while, and I was kind of in the process of getting ready to leave the commune, I guess.
Mhmm.
And, I was married and had a child who's about one year old. One day, I just I went to visit a friend of mine named Glenn, and he was with his buddy Scott. And strangely enough, when I walked in, they were sitting at this table and playing with the Ouija board, which is not something that, you know, was part of what we used to do.
But, you know, it was kinda fun. They were doing that. And, they said, Hanks. Everybody called me Hanks. Get a get a get a pen and paper here.
We got a pad of paper. We need you to write down the letters. They're happening so fast that we can't keep track of them. So, I said, oh, okay. And so, I, you know, got the pen.
I got the pad. And, you know, the Ouija board, the little pointer was flying around, and it said the letter, and I'd write down the letter. They explained to me that they were communicating with somebody in spirit named doctor Fisher. They said, Higgs, come on. You must have, like, some questions you can ask doctor Fisher.
Right? And one thing I had been feeling lately and that I thought was strange and interesting, but I had this feeling in my stomach kinda like third chakra feeling, but also very physical feeling of connection with my wife. So, this bonding feeling, that that was unique. I'd never felt that. So, I asked doctor Fisher or whoever was moving the pointer around, you know, where that feeling came from.
Doctor Fisher said, she was your twin in a previous life. And so, and at the time, I did believe in reincarnation. So, I thought, oh, I guess that's possible. I said, so we had a I asked again. So, we had a previous life together, and doctor Fisher said, no.
Her previous life was in your mother with you. Died before you were born. So, I'd never heard about my mother having a, you know, a stillborn child along with me being born. So, I don't know. Maybe a couple of weeks later or something next time I I was speaking with my mom.
I told her about the Ouija board, and she said, oh my god. Did I ever tell you about my miscarriage? And I said, no. What do you mean your miscarriage? She said, well, you know, when I was pregnant with you, several months or, you know, but fairly early in the pregnancy, I had a miscarriage.
And I didn't even see a doctor about it. I thought it was pretty obvious. So I was young. I just kept drinking and smoking and partying and skiing and hanging out with my friends and your dad. And, we're kind of relieved.
I thought I would just get pregnant later on in the marriage. But several weeks later, she was still here, she's still getting fatter. And so, she did go to a doctor and found out she was still pregnant with me. So, it's possible that I there I was a twin. And oddly enough, I have kind of, you know, I've read about twinship, and I I have felt like a kind of an odd sense of being a twin.
