While I was meditating, a flashing spark that opened up into a tunnel of multicolor light, arranged in a very angular shape like looking through a hexagonal tube. I passed through it and found myself sitting down next to an old Native American woman; both of us were inside of a tent(?). Strange enough, I wasn'tin my 'astral' clothing. I was in my regular clothing.
Both of us were watching as men marched away from the village and towards the horizon. Some of them were her sons and they were going off to fight a war with another part of the tribe. A intratribe conflict. What is doubly strange is that I remember this exact moment.
When my friend was over one time, he mentioned that the medium said that he would get signs of a past life through his daydreams. At that moment, I saw that woman in that tent watching the men leave. I wasn't there when I saw it, though and it only lasted a split second.
The old woman was me in a past life; this much I knew for sure and she recognized me as well. She knew I was there, Red, and recognized that we were the same person but in different incarnations. We talked. She said that her name was Chipinaw and that she was the late Chief's daughter.
I asked her what I had learned in this life and she said: "How to carry the weight of anticipation when you know something terrible is going to happen." She told me that she knew that her sons were not coming back. She also knew that she was going to die before the news of their deaths arrived, so she would not be physically present to comfort what remained of her family after the fact.
I talked to her about my own fears of the future and she held and consoled me, then gave me some advice. I was afraid because I didn't think I was the right one for any of this, I don't know if I'd be ready when it was time, how to even get ready in the first place and what was really happening. She said that I shouldn't worry because it's all going to come to me and that I already know it; it'll be like remembering.
I had also seen this same old woman during one of my first meditations when I was intent on finding on who I originally was: my very first manifestation/incarnation, I suppose. My spiritual birth?
Well, I found myself walking through a great hall and on the walls, there were pictures of various people doing things. Like seamless movie screens. I instinctively knew that those were all of my lives, but that didn't matter because I wanted the original. Her face was on one of those movies.
Here is where it gets weird, if it already hasn't.
