Reincarnation

[Pixxie7]

Does anyone believe in reincarnation and if so have you or anyone you know have evidence of it?

I also think new babies hold all the answers to the universe!

My late grandad served in the Tank Corps in India & Burma during Ww2.
He came back from Burma semi-believing in Reincarnation as some of the locals must have told him all about it.

When he was old & had dementia he talked about his impending death a lot & said he wanted to be reincarnated as a cat!!
Either that or he would go to Hell. He didn't feel he'd been good enough to go to Heaven!!

It would be interesting to think of his soul reincarnated into some battle scarred feisty Feral cat.

My uncle was minding my sister for the day when she was about three. They where colouring in at the dinning room table when she went into a trance and stared at him. She started talking about the time before when he was a young solider who lay dying on a hospital ward and that he had called out again and again for someone to come but no one did.

Once she'd finished talking she snapped out of it and went back to colouring. He said the creepiest part was that when she was talking she spoke in a different accent and sounded like an old lady.

There was lots of weird things that happened when she was younger.

I know of a couple of cases of very young children coming out with weird things. A 3 year old, very matter of fact-ly started talking about her daddy being VERY ANGRY! - and the house burning down. Since the daddy in question is super-chilled, the relative who was there - and very disconcerted! - said she was sure her daddy would never be angry like that.
‘Oh, not that daddy, I meant my other daddy, before.’ Equally matter of fact.

Even spookier was a friend’s grandson, taken with all the family to a site of Graeco-Roman antiquities where none of them had ever been before. The child, who was pre school and unable to read, so couldn’t possibly had read anything about it, said at once, ‘I used to live here!’ and started happily pointing out the remains of his house, and a friend’s house (he gave an appropriate Greek name for him, albeit a mite garbled) , and the cave where they used to hide, and the pool or bath where they used to splash or swim.

When they finally left, he said very contentedly, ‘ Thank you for bringing me home.’

Needless to say, all the family were seriously spooked!

In both cases the children had completely forgotten the incidents/memories once past 5 or so.

Not me. What we have now is it

It’s interesting that almost all examples are from young children which makes me wonder if they are more sensitive.

lmao @ MNHQ’s response.

I’m Catholic, so don’t believe in the idea that people can be reincarnated or have past lives. Our brains, memories and sense of self belong to us as individuals exclusively.

Another case I’ve remembered, a little boy who used to come out with all sorts of things that a child of his age could never be expected to know.

When his parents asked how he knew this or that, he’d say in quite matter of fact tones, ‘Oh, I learnt that when I was here before.‘

But again, it all stopped after he was about 5, and AFAIK he never came out with any details about ‘before’.

I think child prodigies/geniuses are a case in point.

I posted on the other thread that there is a book by Mary Harrison called The children that time forgot.
It's about reincarnated children and their memories of being another person.

I recommend Michael Newton's books on the subject to anyone who is interested.
Journey of Souls etc
Also Andy Tomlinson's books.
