Many people ask me if we live lives exclusively as humans or if we have incarnated into the animal kingdom. Fortunately this question was answered quite early in my career. My first session with a representative of the animal kingdom was when in a flashback one of my clients was something of a giant upon whom the entire army relied to defend a castle. During the battle and having miscalculated his army was defeated, the castle fell into the hands of the enemy and he fell dead. In the transmigratory plane (spiritual plane between two lives) and after reviewing his life, he asked in the next incarnation to be even stronger, which he was… But once he was in that life it took him a long time to understand what was happening and where he was. He found that he was in the body of a large feline. He found a huge difference in the sensory organs, sight, smell, hearing were completely different from human senses and he had incredible difficulty in both adapting and describing them.
This may have been the most impressive animal retrospective I’ve ever done. In the end this magnificent black panther (or leopard) was collided with and eaten by something even more powerful than him, a large lion… So please be careful what you ask for in the inter-viewing field. It may be given to you and you should remember that the enemy of good is the best. However, it is striking and remarkable that many times it seems that elements, abilities, skills and qualities that pertained to a previous incarnation we bring into our current life. I consider my particular client to be the smartest person I have ever met. I believe this is due to these very qualities that he did not give up as he entered a human body. His way of perceiving things is completely different from the average person. He can do multiple jobs simultaneously without one interfering with the high quality of the other. Even if absolute panic prevails this man has the unflappability that only a cat could display. Besides, even the similarities in his face to a feline are obvious but I won’t elaborate because I can’t break confidentiality.
Of course I met other incarnations of the animal kingdom. Birds, horses, deer, dolphins, fish, etc. One funny case was of a mouse where it was by far the most fun session I ever had. But today I have not written this article to describe my own sessions but to share an amazing experience that will test the limits of your spiritual tolerance. The reason for this is the snake child.

So the snake child is a spectacular case that took place in Thailand in the 1960s. It all started when three-year-old Dalawong, while at a party at a neighbouring house, took a hammer he found and attacked a guest, Mr Hugh. When the adults took the hammer from the child’s hand they asked why he would do such a thing. And then the little Dalawong told them that this gentleman killed him in a cave when he was a snake and that his two dogs attacked the snake and cornered it while the master of the dogs finished off the python. The astonished Mr. Hugh verified the boy’s words and did not believe that it was possible for the boy to know so many details about the python’s final battle. The boy’s father noticed that Mr. Hugh also carried a snake bite mark on his left shoulder. Gradually and over the years, the anger for Mr. Hugh gave way to little Dalawong who now maintained that it was better to be human than to be a snake. He even went so far as to later kill snakes out of pity and to relieve them of their cruel existence. The original investigation into the incident was conducted by Ian Stevenson’s partner Francis Story, while the review of the case was conducted by another of Stevenson’s colleagues, Jurgen Keil, twenty years later.
When the boy was asked what else he remembered he said that before he was a python he was a deer. When a hunter killed it he was reborn as a python and when Mr. Hugh killed him he followed him afterwards. Hugh cooked the snake and ate it with a large party. Among the company was Dalawong’s father, who ate part of the snake. He found this gentleman very sympathetic and seemed a better man than his killer. He followed him home where he afterwards went into his “mama’s belly”.
All this seems like a child’s fantasy and of course it could be if it were not for one small but important detail, the child suffered from ichthyosis in his legs from birth. This condition did not subside even on re-examination after twenty years. As you will see in the photos I have provided, ichthyosis is characterized by the appearance of scales on the skin which of course in this case reminds us of the infamous snake.
