I've read accounts of people with past lives as Christians (a nun, plus others), Jews (Brian Weiss' experience), and Hindus (Stevenson's accounts of reincarnated children being born to different castes in India, kind of disrupting the "upward mobility in castes if those 'untouchables' just...

I really liked brain scientist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor's description of her own stroke:

usetawuz, would you mind sharing any details of your life in WWII Italy? (I ask because I might've been there as a paratrooper).

Josie, Just conjecture here, but I'm wondering if he was scared of "the fireman" because that was the last thing he saw before he died (as the fireman was trying to save him- and many, like baby_rn's son, regret not being able to do so). Maybe the fire was hurting him so badly that he felt he...

Hi treetrop! Welcome! It's possible, though it's also possible he could've developed a fear of heights elsewhere (maybe another life). There are several stories on this forum (put on stickies) of 9/11 victims as children now. The most compelling one for me was baby_rn's, whose son talked...

I'm 24 now, but first became interested in past lives when I was around 16 (and put it on the back burner when I went to college, but this year I became interested again after some weird stuff started happening). Even when I was a kid, I LOVED history and wished I had lived in the...

I do wonder what new evidence will come to light as more of the victims of that terrible day come back. Bless them all, their families, and their sacrifices.

Previously, he was listening to a past life regression mp3 and had seen his own past lives with it. (When I listened to it, it didn't work for me.) I asked him to listen to the mp3 again, and instead of viewing his own lives, asked if he could try "seeing" mine instead. It actually seemed to work.

I've had two different people (independently of each other- one was a psychic; the other one, my boyfriend, was doing a past life regression mp3 and I asked him to "see" my lives instead) tell me I had been a paratrooper in WWII. What was the same: I was older (late 20s to 30), baggy uniform...

I loved class units on the Civil War (and pioneer times- Oregon Trail, etc.), Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece/Rome (to some extent), the Middle Ages, and Victorian times. Time periods that interest me specifically (but never had a fun class on since they're usually not covered until high school)...

Since birthmarks, birth defects, and past lives were a great deal of Ian Stevenson's research, it makes one wonder how far in advance we plan our reincarnations. Here's a strange idea: Did they "choose" to have the defect again purposefully merely so Stevenson (or others) could write about and...

Oh, I'm well aware of the history and ideals of both the 1940s vs. the 1960s, and you are absolutely right in regards to the world situations being completely different. I also believe WWII was inescapable and Vietnam, on the other hand, was cruelly pointless. I was merely offering an additional...

In addition to that, I had a bizarre thought after I accepted reincarnation: the pointlessness of the generation gap. Think of all those WWII veterans who couldn't understand why those "**** hippie" children of theirs didn't want to serve their country like THEY did. Well, what if those "****...

If I had been as lucky as you to remember past life memories as a child, you'd bet I'd try to find out! There have been many cases where a child was reborn as a different gender or ethnicity. Read Carol Bowman's "Children's Past Lives" for a good start. You may want to show your other half the...

Sounds like definite past lives to me!

According to Michael Newton's books, souls generally live only one life at once. However, on rare occasions, souls may split a percentage of their energy to live two or more lives at once in order to speed up their development. It doesn't have to do with parallel universes.

I mentioned the James Leininger story to a hardcore, religion-bashing atheist friend, and he thought it was interesting. He didn't condemn me or anything. Since I was an agnostic for such a long time, I knew where he was coming from in the "there's a lot of things wrong with organized religion"...

I think it unnerves parents because it shakes their entire worldview (especially if they are hardcore Christians, atheists, or anything) and makes their children "weird" to them. It forces them to question the nature of mortality and the afterlife, and makes them very uncomfortable that their...

Depends on the life. One could've been a famous murderer, for example (which wouldn't exactly be a "comforting" thought). I suppose she could always do a regression and later check it for historical accuracy.

I don't know for sure. I had a REALLY weird dream where I was, and it was strange, because I could "feel" everything (that hardly ever happens to me in dreams). I read the "how do you know your dream is a past life dream?" thread, and it "fit." (I woke up thinking, "What the HELL was THAT?" I...
