For me, the assumption that reincarnation is a routine affair makes better sense of the data (and is philosophically sounder) than does the assumption that it is not. I explain the absence of past-life memories as due to unconscious blocks against remembering what happened before. The memories are preserved in the subconscious but do not make their way into conscious awareness (Haraldsson & Matlock, 2016, pp. 262‒63).
