Possible reincarnation example

According to Carol's interview:

The central piece of my second book, because I realized that reincarnation in the same family within a very short period of time, three, five, ten years, occurs all the time. I think it happens much more frequently than anyone realizes.

Is anyone familiar with the family recently shown on Oprah:

http://nypost.com/2014/10/24/mom-who-lost-3-daughters-in-fire-in-emotional-oprah-interview/

What happened was the mother got into a car accident. The 3 kids - 1 boy who was 6, 1 girl who was 4 and another girl 2, were all killed.

(That would be the toughest thing anyone could ever face during a life time.)

Anyhow - the 2 parents decided to have kids again. Here is the thing - 1 year exactly of the date when these kids died - the mother give birth to trippets - 1 boy and 2 girls - (That gives me chills -- amazing :angel:).

Anyone think it's possible that these 3 kids could be the 3 kids who died back in reincarnation??

I remember when the program aired, and the story was reviewed in a number of posts, as well. It is clearly considered possible, in spite of the fact that the mother was artificially inseminated. The mere fact that the parents have noticed similar traits is enough to believe -- especially in view of the numerous examples provided by Carol in her second book, "Return from Heaven".


I used to wonder why Dr. Ian Stevenson did not find more cases of same family reincarnation, when he was overseas. Then, I realized how cases came to his attention. It seems, I think, that same family reincarnation is more common worldwide. However, only when a child told of things that happened in other towns did they realize that something unusual was happening. Otherwise, a family in Sri Lanka would probably have thought nothing of a child who behaved exactly like a deceased grandfather.
 
I imagine Dr Stevenson would have screened out same families because of the possibility of scientific contamination. The Children would have the same genes as the deceased, and thus similar traits, and would hear things about the past in the household.


Remember, Dr Stevenson was first and foremost a scientist working in a difficult area for a person of his profession.

similar traits and behavior.


Would'nt a more simpler explanation be: genetics! and wishfull thinking.
 
Genetics and wishfull thinking can play a very large part in same family situations. But, when you consider some of the cases cited in Carol Bowman's book, "Return from Heaven", one must wonder where the child's memories originate from. Specific memories cannot be explained by genetics.
 
Of course, no one can speak for the parents, except for the parents, themselves. It seems so natural for a parent to say to her mother, "Suzie reminds me so much of grandma!", or for a mother to observe that her new son seems so like the child she lost a few years ago. I have often remarked to my wife how my own sons remind me of people that I have known. But, when both parents can pick out specific similarities in their triplets, which match each of the children they lost in a tragedy a few short years ago, I would tend to believe that there may be more than just wishful thinking at work -- especially when it becomes a forgone conclusion to me that souls do not give up coming to a family after only one tragedy. It seems quite natural that those three children would grab hold of any opportunity presented to them in order to return to the family that loved them so much.
 
Chances


Also -- if you really think hard about this, what are the chances that triplets would be born on the exact day - 1 year later. And at that - 1 boy and 2 girls. The odds are astronomical!


To me - this ***Strongly *** suggests that there are forces at work for which we are just starting to understand.

True. However. The mind is a pattern recognition machine. When patterns are not present, the mind can connect dots that simply are not there. That in combination with post traumatic events can induce the mind to see more than what is there.


All in all, while I suppose its possible, and it does sound nice, I see no need to jump to conclusions without ruling out other things.

I do have to say it is convincing. You might expect children to be born "about" a year after the event. What happened was they waited three months, conceived, 9 months later abouts birth. The time frame really is not that unusual. BUt, its a pretty big deal that the date fell exactly a year apart.


Truthfully, I cant say that I know anyone who is a triplet themself or who has triplets.


The fact that it came out to 2 girls 1 boy is pretty shocking.


Statistically, thats just not likely. I wouldnt call it astronomical, but its tough to argue that its not absolutely shocking.

Maybe. But then again, maybe not. Given that they are triplets, there was most likely a planned C-section date that the parents would have some say in scheduling.


Still, even if that were the case, a fascinating story nonetheless.
