As a guest writer for ReincarnationResearch.com, which supports indepth research for understanding the details of how reincarnation works, I am grateful to be able to help with this research to bring peace, understanding and oneness into a world of dualities.
In this case while watching a documentary on Bruce Lee, for fun one day with my daughter, I got the bug back of how much I loved Bruce Lee as a kid, in the 1970’s. We would all joke around the playground and try to be like Bruce Lee, practicing through mimicry his Jeet Kune Do fighting moves.. The incredible expression of his energy captivated us thoroughly through his verbal sounds; I am sure there is a name for that somewhere… What I didn’t understand till recently was how widespread the phenomena of his philosophical teachings were throughout the world of today.. 2018.
By watching the Jason Scott Lee version of Bruce Lee’s documentary film (trailer provided below), I was compelled to do more research. This became real as I found pictures, photographs, videos, etc.. Then I happened upon a documentary about someone totally unrelated to Bruce Lee, but it was about how he looked uncannily similar to Bruce Lee. The documentary about Abbas Alizada, The Afghani Bruce Lee, it stated that his best friend Ali had mentioned to Abbas that he looked very much like Bruce Lee, after he posted a picture of himself on Facebook.
His Facebook fans started to grow and Abbas started to gain recognition. Abbas was asked to attend sports events and other Afghan TV spots and programs, therefore gaining even more of a fan base.
As I researched his life through posted documentary material, commercials such as for Hamsa Telephone and a movie called Brat Li, I read the comment posted below:
“You are the reincarnation of Bruce Lee!”
This sentiment was repeated by a vast array of individuals, mostly from Oriental countries… Oriental countries are most comfortable with reincarnation and have a connection to their intuition more so than Western countries, according to their belief systems, mostly Hinduism and Buddhism.
Abbas is Muslim, I felt a great deal of faith and connection with this man, as shown in his beautifully done documentary. This stirred my compassion for his cause even as I delved more into his life story to date.
I was starting to notice parallels in the lives of Bruce Lee and Abbas Alizada.
What caught my attention was, even though they come from different backgrounds, Bruce was of German – Chinese origin, while Abbas is belongs to the indigenous Hazara ethnic group of Afghanistan, they both pretty much have almost the same height and weight. They have the same lithe body shape and leg shape. Abbas carries himself with a graceful deportment as did Bruce, whether for show or not, they are exacting in their mannerisms in this respect. Their hair is the same thickness and Abbas wears his in the same 1970’s style, to promote his aesthetic, as “The Afghani Bruce Lee.” Abbas’ facial features, overall body bone structure and even his hands are again quite close in comparison… Uncannily similar.
Bruce Lee was an actor at an early age / Abbas started becoming famous through social media and acting in his late teens.
Bruce Lee was in a gang when he was young and because of the fighting within the gang groups he had to have protective escorts so that other gang members wouldn’t beat him up, even though he could have held his own. This eventually forced Bruce to leave China and travel to the United States, where his career as an actor slowly started to flourish. His first acting gig was as the Green Hornet’s sidekick, Kato.
Abbas Alizada was born in a country with much friction culturally and his father was very protective of him, watched out for him and supported him much like Bruce’s father did. It was said in the documentary of Abbas that he had to have members of his family stick by him when he walked the streets of Kabul. Abbas has left his country to make commercials and a film where he is the sidekick to a comic character, who is learning Kung Fu, who sees and is positively influenced by an apparition of Bruce Lee.
Bruce Lee experienced wartime / WW2 and prejudice during the Japanese occupation since he was Chinese.
Abbas Alizada also experienced wartime and prejudice as a Hazara in Afghanistan during the wars there.
Bruce Lee had a martial arts fighting spirit, a no quit mentality to the end and became famous for it.
Abbas Alizada had vowed to take up Wushu / Kung Fu and win at it after his best friend was killed. He has a no quit mentality and has won several medals within a short few years of starting the martial arts sport. He is becoming famous for it within his own country, so far.
Both of these men have risen to the top at a fast rate, with goals firmly set and attained.
Abbas is still young and we have yet to see more comparisons, but for now, this man has a loyal fan base that touts slogans like, “Be like water.” I must say I am as much a fan of Abbas Alizada as I was of Bruce Lee. Abbas has a lightning speed charisma that keeps you enthralled as to what he will do next, much the way Bruce Lee did in his films.
I am amazed to see what Abbas Alizada has already accomplished and hope he makes his long-term dreams come true, to help his country in the near future.
