15-Year Old Prodigy or 1500 Years Old?

You’ve likely already heard of 15-year old prodigy, Akiane Kramarik, who paints pictures of spiritual visions she’s been seeing since she was four. Her depictions of Jesus I find very moving.

It’s my impression that she’s been holding a paint brush for many lifetimes. How else can you explain why one child is born in the slums of some third world country while another is born in Idaho with artistic gifts and spiritual insight way beyond the norm?

I’ve completed two years of fine art training at the Angel Academy of Art in Florence, Italy. I can safely say that for a nine-year-old to teach herself how to paint at the level of Akiane is quite unthinkable.

Not only does she seem to have retained much talent, skill and experience from her previous lives as an artist but she’s also retained memories of her sojourns in the astral plane (“heaven”) in between rebirths. She talks about her visits to heaven and how there exists a million more colours than what we see with our mortal eyes.

Either Arkiane story is further proof of soul migration from life to life or there’s a very unjust being running the cosmos dealing out artistic talent to some children and poverty to others.

I’ll go with reincarnation and the law of karma.
