Like the OP, I am very interested in reading accounts of people remembering their past lives, although I wouldn't be sure about their truth.
I have therefore read most comments and am responding to some of them.
"There’s no such thing as a past life. You’re born, you die, and it’s over."
That is your belief, but other people have other beliefs.
"Do you believe in God op? If not, then what's this past lives business?
You don't have to believe in a creator God to believe in past lives.
"My nan always says what you do in this life will catch you in the next one be good."
Well done your nan. Basically, you ultimately reap what you sow, if not in this life in a future one.
"Can you answer me this? If there are approximately 7bn people in the world, the highest the population has ever been, they can't have all had past lives, can they, because there were far fewer people?"
What if the past lives were in different species? How many billions of other species have died out? What about past lives on other planets?
"Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
Lack of proof of past lives doesn't mean they aren't a reality.
Lack of a mechanism known to science doesn't mean something can't happen.
It just means that science can't answer one way or another."
Very well said. And anyway, science is not going to find out one's past lives, only oneself can find out.
"Memories aren't, they're stored in each of our brains. There's no mechanism for them to survive after our deaths - only what other people remember of us and what we've written or created."
According to some beliefs, memories and Karmas are stored in the soul which is the spiritual consciousness and not the physical brain. The soul leaves the physical body and moves to another.
"If you're in a permanent state of reincarnation why can you only remember some of your previous lives?"
"I once visited Harrogate and felt completely at home, and knew my way around the town. I also knew that I'd never ever been there before."
"No, but my daughter told me some things about the 'mum she had before me' when she was three, and asked what happened to that mum, where is she now."
It seems that very very few remember even one previous life. Can you imagine what it would be like if everyone remembered their previous lives, especially if their previous families were still alive? Even if we remembered every single thing in this life, our lives would become unlivable. Some have very good memories and some have very bad memories, and like with computer memory there could be a limit to what can be remembered.
Many accounts suggest that children when they are little have retained some of those memories (while too many new memories have not formed yet), or those memories are triggered when one returns to a place familiar in a past life.
My comments are based on my beliefs and what I have read and heard - I don't have proof of anything!
