Quoted: read the book "many lives, many masters". Believe it or not, it was interesting. There is a story in it about a woman whose young son was found putting oil and linen on their dog that had died. Walk like an egyptian... This book amazed me for the longest time. There's a story in it about someone who claimed to be a woman in Salem MA, and related her death by being burned at the stake for witchcraft. Found out later that no women in Salem MA were ever burned for witchcraft. Kinda deflated the book for me. |

My son used to tell his sisters about when he was a daddy, they didn't have video games. He knew what a gun was from age 2 at least. He would go down the dark hallway with a nerf gun and clear rooms on the way down to his sister's at the end of the hall in diapers. He's 6 now and it's like he knows everything already. Is learning Japanese from his IPad, already knows a lot of Spanish. Teachers assistant said he's so bored at school that she gives him a teacher I pad with some programs on it to try and learn something while they try and teach the regular kids. He's in kindergarten telling me about geodes, telling me about 3d shapes like rectangular prisms. Says he's trying to understand time but doesn't yet, (not reading a clock because I asked him about that specifically). IDK what is up with the kid exactly but it's like he had a giant headststart. It's like he's seen it all before just needs a refresher and he's GTG with almost any information. One more stray thought about the kid. We were at a buddies shop who specializes in pre1990 cars and trucks. There was a car in the stall beside my truck, a Studebaker Golden Hawk. He asks me what year I think it is. I tell him I have no idea, I'm not a big classic guy and know nothing about Studebaker. He says "I think it's a '57." Asked my buddy and it was a 56 but identical to a 57 and only made for 3 years 56-58... Good guess kid. LOL |

Quoted: I Believe. I died in a depth charge attack in a ww2 submarine. I had nightmares about it for years. I never mention it to friends or family because it sounds too crazy. You aren't crazy or alone. Plenty of people born in the 50's and 60's have had those types of dreams and recollections when young. Many religions believe in reincarnation. I have faith in God - that we are all part of something greater than ourselves. Think of it as overwriting the old programming. I'm perfectly happy that the vivid dreams of being shot as I tried to escape the tank faded away in my youth. |
| Who knows. When I was a toddler I had an oddly specific recurring nightmare about climbing up the spiral stairs in a huge stone tower with a group of people, getting too close to the edge at the top and falling off, I always jumped awake screaming before hitting the ground. It was before I was 3 years old because we moved out of that house before then. |

A little while ago I saw a documentary where they went down to a German sub that was depth charged. The boat was in fairly good shape and the evidence suggests that the crew was probably alive, using a tactic they had used before of hiding on the bottom. But the depth was too great and the ship was too damaged so they were screwed. There's something I find kinda haunting about that as opposed to a depth charge blowing the front of your boat off. |

I thought it was all nonsense until my nephew was born. At age 2 he was talking about how he can't believe how lucky he is to be an American boy. He would call himself by his former name and he had a constant fascination with milsurp weapons. We did some Googling of the name he kept using and found a WWII British soldier with the same name who died during the war. He's 18 now, still has an encyclopedic knowledge of old firearms, makes comments about random locations where minor skirmishes took place that no one knows anything about because skirmishes aren't usually well documented. He stopped using the old name when he was about 8 and he'd get quiet with a 1000 yard stare if you asked him about his old name...like he was trying to recall, but the details weren't as sharp as when he was little. In short, the amount of information and the depth of his statements at such a young age was too accurate to dismiss as coincidence or creative storytelling...he's smart but not that smart. |

when my son was 5 we had an ambulance go by with lights and sirens. My son said " the people in there are nice" and pointed to the ambulance I asked him why he was saying that. he said " because they tried really hard to fix me but couldn't so I died. I said " when did this happen " and he said " before I was born " then he changed the subject |

Quoted: Kid with perfect memory of World War Two thinks he has been reincarnated A young boy gave his parents (and everyone reading this) a serious case of the heebie-jeebies https://www.ladbible.com/news/james-leininger-surviving-death-netflix-354944-20221215 https://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/story?id=132381&page=1 The book is amazing. The kid walked into a fighter pilot's reunion and knew everyone by name. https://www.amazon.com/Soul-Survivor-Reincarnation-World-Fighter/dp/0446509345 Probably the case I've been thinking about. |
| When I was very young - 3 or 4, we had a German couple that lived down the street and I would occasionally play with their dog. That was back when the neighbors all looked out for the kids in the neighborhood. The story goes that one day the woman asked my mom where I learned German. Evidently I knew enough German to converse with this older couple, but I was never taught German and was never previously around anyone who spoke German. I don't remember speaking German, but I do remember the old couple. |

Reminds me of the egg theory. Copy and paste: Based on Andy Weir’s version of the Egg Theory, every human to ever exist is simply a reincarnation of you. This world, as we know it, is made for you and only you. Your soul contains every memory, lesson, and experience from a past life, even if you cannot recall them. The human mind, in all of its glory, is too small to truly encompass the entirety of who you are. This idea is hard to comprehend, I know, but hopefully after this article you will begin to internalize what exactly this theory suggests: every time you talk to another person, you are actually speaking to another version of you. Every time you help someone out, you are helping another version of you. Everytime you exploit or victimize someone else, you are only bringing yourself pain. Basically it's saying you're soul has and will live every human experience in your world. |

Quoted: Soon after my younger brother began to talk in complete sentences he would occasionally tell us stories about when he was a man. It was weird. When he started first grade he would escape from the classroom and walk several miles home. How he figured out the route was puzzling. He is now batshit crazy. Nobody in the family communicates with him. Reached for the secret to soon |
| We adopted a newborn, just before the wife popped with my son. At around age 2-2/12 he walked up to my wife and simply said "Mommy, I was never in your belly like Rincon Jr." Kids are supposed to believe they come from storks. I was like WTF. That was a third eye moment and creeped me out for sure. |

Quoted: We used to think witches were real too. Blood letting was also good. Quoted: Quoted: This sort of behavior has been documented since long before TVs and radio were a thing.  Witches are real (people do practice various religions that are considered witchcraft including such things as hedge witches who are/were simply healers in early times and some of our Alaskan residents can explain shamanism to you) and bloodletting is still used in modern medicine. If you're going to try to be a smartass at least do some reading first.

| The one story about the little boy who had memories of being trapped in his burning Corsair and then later meeting some of the old men who had been fellow pilots of the the man who had died in his plane and telling them things they had said to him personally that no one else knew about was pretty wild. Those old guys seemed pretty convinced that their fallen comrade was standing before them as a small child. Who knows, God does what he wants and doesn’t answer to us or owe us an explanation or reason for what he does. |

Maybe this is why my 6 year old remembers having a broken ankle and walking around on crutches. I keep thinking it's just his imagination and stories he lets play in his head. He said there are kids at school whom also remember him walking on crutches and to a 6 year old, having another kid confirm it really really makes it real. Kids say a lot of stuff! |

Quoted: The children who remember their past lives The phenomenon, with its aura of the paranormal, has long been fodder for books, academic studies, newspaper stories and dramatized documentaries. All of these explorations tend to orbit the same existential questions: Is reincarnation real? What happens after we die? How can this be explained? But there is, of course, no scientific means to conclusively prove or disprove a mechanism that might explain how a person could recall living a past life. Which leaves parents such as Marie and Ross to navigate an inexplicable, often isolating experience. Something is happening, that much they know, and so they find themselves facing different but equally daunting questions: What happens what does it mean, what do you do when, one day, your child tells you they remember being someone else? Certain consistent patterns have emerged: The most pronounced and convincing cases, Stevenson and Tucker both found, tend to occur in children between the ages of 2 and 6. They might suddenly describe places they have never been, people they have never met, sometimes using words or phrases that seem beyond their vocabulary. Nightmares or sleep disturbances are occasionally reported. Many of these children are highly verbal and start speaking earlier than their peers. Their descriptions of past-life recollections often fade away entirely by the time the child turns 7 or 8. These similarities span accounts recorded around the world. Among the cases in the DOPS database, about 15 percent are North American; of those, an overwhelming majority are from Indigenous communities. "There's no question that the cases are easier to find in cultures where there's a belief in reincarnation," Tucker says. The true prevalence of this phenomenon is difficult to know, Tucker says particularly given that many families might not recognize it, or might actively suppress it but DOPS is contacted by about 120 families per year, most of whom are American. If a child's recollections are detailed enough to potentially identify a particular individual, DOPS opens an investigation, and the case is entered into the database. But even if a child can offer that level of specificity, sometimes parents don't want to know more. "That can be the frustrating part, where you get what starts like a really interesting case, but then the parents don't stick with you," Tucker says. It does fade as they get older. They knew things that were never talked about in front of them. The girls would randomly say or describe their former life. Yupik way is to name babies after someone that has recently died. There IS something to it. |

Quoted: This book amazed me for the longest time. There's a story in it about someone who claimed to be a woman in Salem MA, and related her death by being burned at the stake for witchcraft. Found out later that no women in Salem MA were ever burned for witchcraft. Kinda deflated the book for me. Nearly all of the victims were hanged. One man was crushed to death by having heavy stones stacked on him. Personally out of all of the theories about what happens after we die I find reincarnation to be the least desirable. If that’s what happens I’ll fight being sent back if I can. Imagine being doomed to live this cycle over and over again for eternity. No fucking thanks. |

Quoted: I have fraternal twin boys. The younger one had me on edge from 2-4. Night terrors, would would tell us stuff beyond his capability. Names of people and other stuff. No way for me to know for sure what was happening. Unrelated of course, but he would also focus on the staircase and his head and eyes would follow something coming down the stairs and he would smile and wave. it was fucking freaky. He would stand in his room at 2-3am and have full blown conversations with someone or something. He's 15 now with no recollection. I mean, at 2-3 they like to sit up at night and chatter about all kinds of stuff. Not saying the rest isnt true but they love to recount their days and recent events to themselves out loud at that age. Its very cute. |

Quoted: Wish I could remember more, there was a case of a child that had memories of being a pilot in the pacific during WW2 and shot down KIA. Taken to a reunion, he recognized members of his old squadron. It was pretty well documented, they were able to figure out who he had been in the previous life. Like I said, I wish I remembered more about this case. Maybe somebody will remember it. Well most of that sounds like James Leininger, but I don't recall the part about the reunion. Both he and his former self were named Jim, he knew names of other pilots who were killed. He knew the name of small obscure escort carrier his former self flew from. He knew stuff about his former family ABC 20/20 did a closure show, when he was a teenager. He said the former memories had all but gone away, mo ,ore recurring nightmares of his former selfs death. But his parents and ABC probably took him to chichi jima (i think) where the prior James had died (couldn't get out of the cockpit and the damaged plane crashed into the ocean). They tossed some flowers into the waters off the island. And the kid just broke down, like he was at the burial of his best friend. |

Quoted: Its bullshit lol. I know a chick that has 2 kids like that. She puts that shit in their heads. Ah! A fellow approver of blood letting, and not washing hands between surgeries! May I ask you for a donation via wire? I would desire nothing more to be the benefactor of the man who knows the entirety of universe's inner workings. |
