Parag, you are adressing an issue that I have also thought about I lot. I have read a lot of cases researched by Dr. Stevenson. Many of the cases among the Druzes of Lebanon involve situations in which the child was born just after the previous personality had died. Those cases are just as...
I hope to somehow be able to watch this in Germany (possibly via youtube afterwards). I am a little worried that they picked a case where a child remembers the life of a famous person. I hope that it will be made very clear that this is not typical in those cases and that the children most often...
Thank you for sharing! Sometimes I have dreams that are very emotional in the way that I remember how I felt in the dream; I rather remember the emotions than events from those dreams and I feel very differently than usual. I absolutely do not know if this might be past-life related (or...
There are many people here reporting on very precise, very detailed dreams about their past lives. My own dreams, even when they refer to actual events (from this life) tend to be bizzar and not very structured thus even if they related to a past life I wouldn`t be able to make it out. I would...
Fascinating experiment, indeed! And I totally agree that it would be useful if more parents gave such an experiment a try (I will, no matter if my daughter is going to have past-life memories or not - she is 18 months old, thus not verbal enough). Also, this a fun, creative game for both parents...
Even though I agree that there might not be a strong connection between the fetus and the soul during pregnancy, as a mother, I hate the idea of a fetus as a "suit of clothes that is for being worn", that is highly insensitive!
I do not know how it might happen that the interval between death...
Hello Jenny, thanks for sharing your daughter`s possible past life and in-utero memories! It is a great gift for you that she is able to tell you what it was like in your tummy! Those memories are by no means as rare as we might think. I remember that Dr. Tucker discussed this with some examples...
Sources for research
Hello Lisa,
I have read nearly every book by the late Dr. Ian Stevenson and Dr. Tucker`s book. Dr. Stevenson did a lot of research on childrens`nightmares and a lot of statistics. Some of his articles can be read online via the "Journal of Scientific Exploration" - it is...
I haven`t been on this forum for a while. When I discovered the links I refered to they claimed to cooperate with the university of Insbruck. I sent an email to the university of Insbruck wanting to know if this is an actual project but did not receive a reply. By the way, there was a photo of...
As Ian seems to talk very freely about his past live don`t you think it might be helpful to ask questions like: "Did you drive a car when you were with Soh-Soh" or: "Did you have a favourite film/actor" just to be able to find at least a rough time-frame for Ian`s memories? I think it is...
Ian`s mom: Do you think that you can motivate your son to tell a little more about the "king"? That could be very valuable in creating a historical context. I think that the "king" needn`t be a "king" as we understand the word but for a three-year-old, any powerful man or leader or even a...
Hello,
this is an interesting story indeed! If I understand it right, Center Hill sky is in the U.S.A.? Then it seems that Ian refers to a person of Korean origin who lived in the U.S.A. for at least part of his life? Then I`d guess the this life might not too long ago in the distance part for...
...and Fritz Carlton`s email adress isn`t correct, he cannot be reached by this...One link goes to a "Samsara Center of Reincarnation-Research" that claims to co-operate closely with the University of Virginia. I am not sure whether it actually exists...
Hello Titus,
I see, you mentioned that Geargetown is in Texas...My guess is that it might not be wise to focus too much on the name: It seems to be very plausible that this is a construction afterwards to make sense of the fact that the name was quite similar to "Lincoln". Maybe the name...
Accra sports-stadium desaster
From wikipedia I gathered some information about the "Accra Sports stadion desaster" which took place in Ghana in 2001. It happened during a soccer-match due to agitated fans. One of the teams involved ususally wears red tricots. In Africa, masks are a very common...
Could it be that the "masks" he refers to are actually helmets? Then they could be part of a uniform or part of equipment for sports. I could imagine that the "restaurant" could have been part of a sport stadion (a food-point there)and that his customers might have been competing sports-teams...
My suggestion is, as the lady claimed to remember not to have attended church on a regular basis, that you could try not to focus on church records in order to find data. Maybe the family officially belonged to the Presbyterian church but they lost tough with it after leaving Texas and attended...
"Joschi" (pronounced "Joshee") is an old-fashioned short-form (I am not entirely sure if it is of "Joseph" or "Johannes" but I´ll find that out) used in Bavaria and Switzerland, in the Alps-region.
