Reincarnation.
When people mentioned the idea of reincarnation my first reaction used to be how can it be possible? Impossible, was my initial reaction but that was until I started to think back to being an infant and for some strange reason I have memories of an ability to think in language that I should not, at that age, have had. Although I could not speak a word until much later on in life, I have significant recollections of my having thought about the incidents that occurred for me as a young child in a way that at that time I had not learnt to do. Could the reason be I had lived before? For me, this is memory based evidence of something that I do not fully understand and it is something that I often think about. I know it is possible under hypnoses to regress, people have likened the experience to that of being able to lift the curtain on a former life. It is a thought provoking concept as along with all the positive points one maybe likely to disturb a present life with links to something unknown.
I remember as a little boy how on returning with my mum from the local shops we would meet one of our neighbours and of course stop on the corner for a chat. The minutes ticked by and the shopping steadily grew heavier by the minute. At that time I was rather shy and did not take part in the conversation. It was an everyday scene but then I would have the strange feeling that I knew what the next spoken sentence would be and as I listened to the chat it was like living in an unconscious state that I could not control. In the evenings sometimes we would have guests visit us and on saying goodbye the same surreal like sensation would come over me and as the guest departed I could anticipate what would be said and when.
It could just be a coincidence and maybe my mind was playing tricks on me but there are some cases of a similar nature that have proved to be inexplicable. There is a documented article of a young child who was convinced she was married with children. She constantly cried and pestered her parents to take her to her family who she claimed were all in another country. At first her parents could not understand it but over time when her pleas became more insistent they decided that they had to investigate it further. They took down information from their child and on going to the exact location she informed them about they found the street and house of a widower with children whose wife had passed away eight years ago. The somewhat surreal situation did not end there as on entering the house the child knew the layout and the names of the children whom she claimed were hers from her former life. Precise information specific to those individual lives confounded the people around the child. The man claimed to be her former husband was shocked but after time and because the young girl knew such intimate knowledge he became convinced she was living proof of reincarnation.
There are countless intriguing recounts of people who refer to former lives. If it is merely their imagination, one has to ask how on investigation so much given detail and information is found to be correct?
To make the point a young boy at the age of five told his mum he had a former life and one day he pointed at a black and white photograph of an actor and said that was him. He gave a lot of detail about his former life. He explained that he had two sisters and had been married five times. He would refer to intimate details such as the fact that he enjoyed an orange squash drink that was later found out to be unique to a time frame far earlier than anything the little boy should have known about. He said that he had holidays in France, something again that was a shock to his mother to hear about. On doing some research the actor was found to be an extra who had appeared in films, but it was the phrasing, the exact personalised information and life habit references to him that started to intrigue those around the little boy. His mother was at first astounded by his knowledge and thought it odd but on investigation found all he had said to be correct. She obtained a death certificate which seemed at first to be the one inaccuracy in all the information that he had given. The little boy had said he had died when he was sixty but the certificate stated that the gentleman had been fifty eight. Interestingly after further investigation the death certificate was actually found to be wrong and that the gentleman had died when he was sixty.
These seemingly strange experiences do provoke thought. A child who knows intimately about a life they should have no knowledge about, individuals who can demonstrate abilities they seemingly have obtained without any learned actions. There are historically identified case studies on those specific few who have as individuals stood out because they could start to perform in a way that they should not be able to do. These cases do go beyond what logical explanation can outline. There have been children who have started to paint in a style and with an expertise of a master from a far earlier age, a boy who on entering a specific locality began to converse in a language he had never learnt in his life and in a dialect that had been up to then totally unknown to him. It is of interest to me and thousands upon thousands of other people, why and how do such circumstances occur. Is is reincarnation that could possibly explain these experiences or is there some logical means to define something which has been seen to be extraordinary?
