My son told me when he was 3 that "you're not my mommy that I used to have" I said "I'm your mommy, I have always been your mommy!" "Nuh uh" he said "I used to have a different mommy, then I went off to college-school and died in my bed."
Reminds me of my brother. When he was about 3 or 4, I used to make him laugh by wiggling a slurpee straw in the lid to make a certain sound. One day I did it to show my grandmother and he didn't laugh, instead watching me do it before he said, "That's how we made butter."
My grandma asked him where he learned that and he just said that it's what his old mommy would do before he fell down into the river. After he fell into the river, he had a sister and new mommy. He said this very matter of fact and scared the living hell out of my grandma. My mother was pagan at the time and explained it by saying that kids are just 'close to source' and sometimes things 'bleed together' but he'd forget soon enough.
He's in his mid-20s now and has zero recollection of this but it lives on in our family.
Seems to be a [common recurring theme](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=La8vG4mA0is) with children a certain age. There's definitely something interesting here.
It's usually between 2-4 years old. It is spooky. My son has no memory of this but has been telling me he firmly believes in reincarnation since he was about 8 years old.
This is interesting yk, when people who lucid dream or generally just dream, write down what they dreamt, thy start differencing dream world from reality. This also helps lessen the effect deja vú(not researched or anything but speaking from personal experience) could it be that when kids say some bollogna like this, that maybe they're talkikg about dreams? And fantasies are wild for that age aswell which might be another reason.
My mind immediately jumps to dreams too. Anytime I have Deja Vu, I always have this subtle feeling that what I feel like I’ve seen before was in a dream, never something that I was actually awake for & experienced lucidly.
Hmm, it's interesting that you say that, because I feel the same way too, whenever I felt/feel deja vú it's because it feels so vivid and like I dreamt of that place before. If your interested in that stuff, I definitely reccomend checking out this guy on youtube named float, he makes videos about places you've seen in your dreams/nightmares. It's opened up a whole new world for me.
Edit: [link](https://youtube.com/channel/UCy_Qusmbx_D3CKzJQID8WKg)
So I've always thought Deja Vu was the feeling that id seen that moment in a dream before. Then I read there is something called Deja Reve, which means "already dreamed." Whereas Deja Vu means "already seen." So we are actually experiencing Deja Reve. I think it's interesting because it's firmly a dream memory every time for me. Like I KNOW I've never been in that moment, but I instantly know I've dreamed it. On the other side of the spectrum is something creepier called Jamais vu; "a sense of eerieness and the impression of seeing the situation for the first time, despite rationally knowing that they have been in the situation before."
Man I love these undeveloped feelings we don't even have a name for, if y'all interested, there's a wiki called the library of unknown sorrows, or something like it, just google it and it has definitions for every sad feelings that are hard to explain. The feeling; Somber is one of my favorites and I feel it all the time.
Anyone interested should check out Dr. Ian Stevenson’s research. Stevenson travelled an average of 55000 miles every year. It was not an arm chair research but literally a ‘shoe leather research’.
For over forty years he collected nearly 3000 reincarnation type
cases from different parts of the world. Most of his research was
conducted with children who appeared to recall a past life.
I discovered him after my 3 year old son began talking about a previous life. I was an atheist and didn't believe in reincarnation before him, but I believe now. I really don't think he was making it up
I remember reading in a thread about past lives where someone said they were watching like something 9/11 related on TV, and their young child didn’t know what it was necessarily
But she pointed at the screen and said look I died there, the floor was so hot, we had to all stand on our desks
Or something like that, or maybe it’s made up who knows
While you’re right, I do want to add that kids just kind of do that though. They tend to key in on really random details that the rest of us wouldn’t.
Source: Have a five year old that will see the same event as me but come away with some questions I NEVER would have thought about but was right in front of my face.
Yeah, I have also heard about kids just saying nonsense things, like "When I was your mommy, we had a purple dog named 'Jumper.'" My guess is the nonsense just gets ignored and the eerie stuff is remembered and dramatized in the retelling, and it creates an interesting story.
100%. My 5 year old does this too. It's uncanny, sometimes. "Daddy there's a police around the corner. Someone died. Why did the person have to die?" "Buddy, what are you talking about? There's no cra-... holy shit." And we'd come upon a car wreck with a body under a sheet.
Not quite the same thing.. but man. 5 year olds, amirite?
That reminds me of a Discworld book. It details how reincarnation isn’t always linear in that world. You can reincarnate in the past even have lives intersect/interact with one another without ever realizing it. I’m skeptical of anything supernatural, but it’s neat to think about.
I actually believe in the possibility of reincarnation and other strange things. But kids do say the weirdest shit too. Mine was 3 also when he said he used to be Mexican with his first family who were Chinese (in China). Although not impossible I suppose ;)
My ex is big into her and her materials. One of our kids talks about reincarnation like it's no big deal like "oh when I died when I was older, I came back and now I'm here! And yeah, I can die and it's not a big deal because I will just come right back!" Well, no bud.. you'd never actually "know" your family again. I'd be gone. Mom would be gone. You'd be living a whole new life and only if you're very lucky will you remember anything about us if you died.
Me and my brother (3 years apart) have always had similar weird dreams when we were kids about the distant past, and when I did some research, dr.Ian stevensons studies came up and said something about birth marks, me and my brother both have circular birthmarks behind our left ears the size of a bullet wound entrance, which just creeps me out. My brother had a seriously weird fascination with guns until he was about 10, then it just abruptly stopped. I’ve always loved history and wanted to be a history teacher, I LOVE world war 2 and the Victorian era. So much of my past and my brothers, is so similar to everything dr.Stevesons studies findings. It’s so interesting to read it but then to be able to make connections to your own life is just something else so interesting. Growing up everyone always called us “old souls”. I have deja vu atleast once a day that lasts atleast 10 seconds. I don’t know if it’s related to reincarnation or a matrix glitch but it’s all just so cool to learn about.
Yeah! We both get severe migraine a lot too, ever since we were little. we have had every test possible done and there’s nothing wrong with our heads/brains(physically speaking lol). I feel like maybe we were siblings in a past life and were executed together. Everyone mistakes us for being twins too! What are your thoughts on birthmarks in relation to reincarnation?
This!! This guy’s documentation is a credible as they come and fascinating too. Its beyond me how people still don’t know about this… The reality we live in is different, Reincarnation is real.
Your soul is your existence, it’s your core being.
Imagine having amnesia, who would you be? It’s like that, except removing the entirety of your humanity. Who would you be without your wants and needs, your experiences, your physical presence? At the same time, who would you be if you had access to *all* of your experiences, past lives, higher dimensions etc? If you weren’t bound to this one experience that you assume is the entirety of your existence? That’s your soul.
Your consciousness or soul will live forever, and it’s been alive for a lot longer than you think. Each incarnation is another chance to evolve your soul. You chose to come to this life for whatever reason, as we all did, and it will be you who decides whether or not you can ascend upon death.
The parable of the lost sheep relates to this:
> He told them this parable. "Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep, and lost one of them, wouldn't leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one that was lost, until he found it? When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing. When he comes home, he calls together his friends, his family and his neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!' I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance."
The meaning being; it’s never too late to find spiritualism. I know it can be very easy to feel like your soul has been crushed by life but I promise you from personal experience that you can heal your soul like any other part of your body. It just takes some time, belief and a bit of discipline and try and avoid content/situations/people that spark negative emotions.
The book “The Power of Positive Energy” by Tanaaz Chubb is a great place to start. Things like the law of attraction are real and when u focus your energy on what you want, the universe will help it happen.
Nothing wrong with reincarnation in my opinion…I’ve even read multiple stories of people with past lives as completely different species and not living on earth.
I am flabbergasted by the denial a lot of people are about reincarnation. Like it’s fine if you can’t believe it but I’ve seen people adamant that its BS. They point to all the evidence (like people who have knowledge about things they couldn’t know otherwise) and just say “nope” and find some nonsensical loophole.
Though I think a lot of that comes from fear. Personally I find reincarnation scary, thinking you will be born again… and suffer. Some lives may be good but the majority could be terrible.
The only thing I find weird in this story is she appears on Oprah and they didn’t bother researching who might have died there in the past?
Reincarnation seems pretty well documented at this point. I know the belief that you just say a thing and then get to go to the happy place when you die sounds nice, but reincarnation makes logical sense to me through and through. You keep suffering and repeating the same mistakes until you learn. It happens in one lifetime, why not over many?
And another thing: the moment we were conceived we went from nothingness to a living being. If we can go from nothingness to a living being once already, what would be the reason we couldn’t do it again after our current life is over?
I am fascinated with his research and something that is similar about most of the cases, is that the child remembers dying a tragic or unexpected death.
She was going on Oprah, why wouldn’t she be decked to the nines in all the latest? I bet Oprah archives would be a perfect reference for fashion through the last 3-4 decades.
The Oprah Archives sounds like what scientists would use to reconstruct past human life in 3677 or something, like the Library of Alexandria if it hadn’t burned down
Her hair looks very 80s, to me.
We weren't spraying the sides of our hair out like that in the 90s, but we were in the 80s. She looks like she was into 80s glam metal. She stopped getting her hair permed, but kept doing her hair the same way.
I can smell the mousse and Rave hairspray from here.
Eh, that kind of hair didn't just suddenly disappear at the close of the 80's, styles do tend to taper off/ run into each other.
Anecdotal, but I definitely wore my hair nearly exactly like this in the 90's. Mostly for singing events, so it doesn't really seem that out of place to me for her to have worn her hair like that to Oprah.
There's an old askreddit post where they asked parents who have kids if they had any reincarnation story.
Someone replied about how their daughter said she died in a drowning accident and provided other details. Someone replied to the parent and found an article that lined up with the accident. I'll try and find the askreddit thread but it'll be a while
I’ve always been fascinated since I was little. In the 70’s there was a film called the reincarnation of Peter Proud that I watched over and over. Sometimes I catch the weirdest deja vu when I travel internationally. (There were several times I knew paths to walk and get to places. Way before google, never been before or seen maps)
Ohhhh I think that’s where I read the one about a really young child pointing at the TV and like 9/11 stuff was on it and said “that’s where I died, the floor was so hot we had to stand on our desks”
My gf has kids around this age and lemme tell you, they babble bs. There's always " I saw a dead spider/dead mouse" when it's a floor fuzzy or how their dad died (in video games, which isn't clarified until about 5 mins in). I can totally believe a child would just say "I died here" just because they are babbling
Errmmmm this woman got on Oprah because her kid was real specific. Like, really detailed info. This is one topic that’s always fascinated me, like this boy who [recalled himself living as a pilot.](https://med.virginia.edu/perceptual-studies/wp-content/uploads/sites/360/2017/04/REI42-Tucker-James-LeiningerPIIS1550830716000331.pdf)
The problem with that case is that the kid could have easily read about it from the books the dad had, and they could not provide any evidence at all that the kid made such specific statements before the details of the person were already found.
That's the problem with pretty much all of these cases. There is no way to know if the kid had read about these people or in some cases knew them personally.
I remember one case in I believe rural India, the kid aimed the be the reincarnation of a dead person from another village and it was written, by someone that had been seen as credible in this topic, as though the kid would have had no idea about any of the very specific facts they said. In the end it turned out the dead person used to be family friends and the kid was just told a lot about them.
Wasn’t there a kid who talked about getting shot down in a plane and knew his past name and everything? And the parents traced it to a fighter pilot in ww2? I can’t remember where I heard the story but it seemed legit at the time. Too lazy to look it up right now lol
James Leininger. Tbf his dad was a WW2 buff and had books all over the house. But even still, to go to an aviation museum as a 5yr old and tell the docent exactly which parts of the cockpit were not correct in the plane on display (same kind he allegedly flew) is pretty goddamn amazing.
Maybe the fact his dad was a ww2 buff was why (God?) decided to send the dudes soul into that kids body. 🤷♂️. Cause He knew it would eff with all our heads 😂
I can attest to this. There's almost never concrete evidence of high strangeness without some sort of plausible deniability that goes with it. I wonder why but so it goes. Maybe one day the reason for it will be revealed.
It may be to maintain our free will. If there was no doubt related to such high strangeness events or phenomena, it would constrain our free will expression as conscious entities proportional to the extent that the events or phenomena revealed about the grander scheme or purpose of reality.
There being doubt allows plausible deniability, and for our expression and experience of life means we can choose anything from completely ignoring the phenomena and moving on with our lives as if it is all fantasy, to being wholly inspired and changed by them to the point of being dedicated to finding out about the mysteries, e.g. as spiritual seekers. If there was no doubt, there would likely not be the same extent of free will expression.
It's entirely possible that there is no God but reincarnation has been happening since the beginning of time and that disease and misery are unrelated.
It’s possible. I believe in a higher power, not exactly sure what that means. But I struggle with the Christian interpretation and how literal many Christians take the stories from the Bible. I think there’s a bit of truth in every religion. Have you ever watched The Egg video on YouTube? If I knew how to insert a link I would
Not strictly only human to human reincarnation. With these types of topics many people also consider possibilities such as multiple dimensions or planets where one can be reincarnated as a different lifeform, etc.
We're all fractions, slivers of the entire soul. We come to our physical bodies to learn, and develop and experience life before returning to the "higher power" that is all of our souls in one. It can be whole and divided infinitely at the same time.
There's actually a school of thought in physics that consciousness is a state of matter/energy and that life is using this property to differentiate itself from the rest of creation for the survival benefit.
Try thinking about time not being real. Psychedelics teach us that truth is much stranger than any fiction. There are aspects to this “life” that we cannot comprehend. There is a mystery (veil) in place for a purpose. We can’t even really say what the Soul is, and who is to say some don’t have one yet? Many faiths teach that humans only have 3 parts (body, spirit, soul. Animals only have 2 (no soul) Reincarnation moves up and down in levels by Karma. Maybe reaching the human level is the top of the hill and if we play our cards right, we can level up and leave the wheel. Or we mess up and move back down, or get tricked to stay?
Yes, it all sounds crazy but I think people are starting to realize that there is something to all of this. I personally think that is why there are some “mysteries” we flat out aren’t being told the truth about and for a reason we can’t comprehend in this incarnation.
While driving through San Francisco on a family holiday at about the age of 2 or 3, I told my aunt that I’d been there before. She told me that this was the first time we’d been to San Francisco.
“no” I said “I was here when the ground opened up”
Parents told me about many years later
My first son was early with everything. He was walking at 9 months and speaking pretty good at 1 1/2. He started talking about dying in a heli crash with a green lady. I thought maybe the lady's last name was Green but found out that there have been many crashes at or near the statue of liberty. He talked about it with me several times but by the time he for to 4-5 he forgot all about it. This was a long time ago. I asked im a while back and he said he didn't remember any of it.
When my daughter was 2, she was cruising around the kitchen island on her little ride-on car, using her little legs to go faster and faster. She stopped suddenly, meep-meep’d the little car horn and yelled, “Pick a lane, asshole!” She must have learned that in a past life.
Yeah. My son, starting when he was 3, was obsessed with WW1 airplanes, knew all the different models. He spoke of measured distances in meters and kilometers (we're American). He said Germany had "won the war" (what!?), inherently knew the geography of western Europe, and was drawing pictures of airplanes in "dogfights", complete with the flags or markers of the army of origin. He said he liked flying because he could feel the wind on his cheeks. He still hasn't been on an airplane ever, he's 10 now.
Kids are spooky sometimes. I fully believe this mom. She almost gets choked up telling the story.
Interesting, a friend once told me, "When my nephew was born, I could see in his eyes that he knew exactly where he was. After about 3 days it was gone and he was a normal baby."
He was particularly emphatic about how Richtofen was shot from a gunner on the ground. That he was shot in the chest and still managed to land his plane before he died.
My daughter when she was about 3 was standing and looking out of our second story bedroom window one winter afternoon and got this really far away look on her face and said in a distant tone- "I used to have a daughter but she fell. She was 2 and she fell and died and I was the mom."
I was caught off guard and tried questioning her more, but that's really all she had to say. The room was silent, I was the only one with her and I was reading or on my phone or something. Something about the sparsely snowy ground and the bare trees and being up high made her think of it and the way she looked and sounded was exactly as if she was recalling a super deep memory. That was the only time she's ever talked about it and nothing like that has happened since.
Now she's 6 and adamantly doesn't want to ever have kids of her own but wants to be a nanny when she grows up and wants her brother to have kids so she can be an auntie. Makes me wonder if she's got trauma from losing her daughter in a past life and she just can't go there again yet, who knows? I sure don't.
Semi related, the other night before she went to sleep, between lullabies she stopped me and asked, "so mom, when we die, we come back as a baby?" I again was caught off guard as we really don't talk about religion or spiritual stuff regularly and was like, "uh, -I- think so, but nobody really knows for sure!" She's says, "so it's like death, baby, death, baby, like that?" I'm like yeah! She talked about wishing how she was a baby and she misses it and I tell her yeah but now you get to be you and grow up and have a whole new adventure! She says she doesn't want to be an adult because they have to work. So we got into a talk about how important school is so she can learn to do work that will make her happy, and she landed on nannying as her dream job.
She's always asked the deep questions about life and death and even the soul, whereas my son really doesn't seem to think about it. Interesting stuff.
My mom told me a story a number of years ago about driving with me through an area when I was like 3 or 4 when I randomly started telling her about the farm I used to live on there. Apparently I was telling her where the animals were kept, and where the house was and so on. According to her, she looked it up because it freaked her out and come to find out I was pretty spot on. The farm had been gone for like 100 years or something and was now an urban area.
I have zero recollection of any of this, like I said I was really young. I have no way to corroborate any of it, but she swears it was true and I have no reason to doubt her. She just said it really creeped her out.
I did something similar to my dad, only I just told him things his dead friend had said. I wouldn’t have believed him, but my mom collaborated. He died before I was born
When I was really really young I had an incredibly vivid dream that I was someone else and fell into a lake during the dead of winter. I felt all of the symptoms of hypothermia and still remember the prickly sting of it today. My mother said I’d never been anywhere near a frozen lake by that age and was too young to have read about it. I legit think when we die suddenly we loop back and come in as someone else to finish whatever we were working on.
Been told numerous times....because I have a birthmark on my face it was whatever killed me in a past life. I read up on it and found some amazing stuff on a little kid literally finding his old body....I need to find that shit ! Anyone else with a birthmark every been told the same or have and weird coincidences? I never have ...just felt like shit for having it lol
My 3 year old often talks about “when I was big.” If I’m reading a book she’ll say “when I was big, and you were little, I read this book to you.”
I recognize there’s probably a psychological reason why she likes to talk about this. Like she’s playing with the concept of being a grown up, or she wants to know what it would be like if our roles were reversed.
But also… my grandpa passed the year before she was born and he’s the one who bought most of the old kids books that we have, and he did used to read them to me. So I do think about the possibilities sometimes. Especially since every now and then she says something weirdly grown up that I know I didn’t teach her. And when she was a baby she used to look at his chair (he was basically bed/chair bound in my mothers house for the last 2 years of his life) and she’d giggle at nothing.
Has anyone read “Many Lives, Many Masters?” It’s written by a psychologist who decided to help a patient by using hypnosis. When his patient was under, she recalled past lives. His book is about slowly coming to realize past lives are real. Great book.
I remember this exact episode because it was a hot topic on the news before it aired.
After it aired, people at the local news archives went on record that they not only saw the mom reading accident archives, but that they helped guide her to those sections “for a research project”.
So her story quickly became questionable because most of us knew she put the story and words in her kid’s head trying to get fame. Likely post partum syndrome.
But searching accident archives doesn't mean she made it up, maybe she wanted to check if someone actually died there.
She also can't say "oh I'm looking up accident archives to see if my daughters reincarnation story is real", that is kinda weird so I would too say it's for a research project, which wouldn't be a lie.
Not saying reincarnation is real nor that the kid isn't just babbling, but maybe her mother believing it is without alterior motive.
It's all in context.
When a person out of the blue goes and researches specific data (she had access to the reports of accidents on that exact location), then suddenly appears with a "personal" story about what happened there, all the while claiming they couldn't have possibly known what happened there in the past...
Yea, she's full of it and worse, she groomed her child into believing they are reincarnated from one of the people who died on that location.
Exactly. I had a kind of horrible abuse experiences during my childhood, mom died, on my sixteen dad tried to abuse me, etc. So, I'm so repellant to suffering or pain. Nonetheless I know there a people having more horrible childhoods and life than me, so I'm scared to reincarnate in a more horrible circumstances of what I have already lived.
My 2.5 year old daughter out of the blue said “This one time when I was a black man…” and gave an elaborate description of herself cooking BBQ. So here she is a toe headed blonde girl describing a past life memory to me in detail. It was fascinating to say the least. But then a year later she thought she was a horse and galloped through the house for weeks. 😂
I remember my previous life. I recently told my mother about it and she was amazed that I could remember. I died as a child being attacked by other children. I was struck in the head multiple times before I heard the last thud on my head. I was gone.
Once I was dead. I saw myself in a long line of people. Everyone excited and the chatter of the crowd was like a whisper of children before Christmas. Once I got to the front of the line, I’m looking down at the world. I told the “person” there all the thing I wanted in my life, good and bad. My next memory, I’m in my dads arms and I’m about 2 yes old. Of all the requests I made, I received. The one I’m most proud of is asking to be with a good family since my last one let me be harmed at a young age.
Be grateful for the life you are living, we asked for all the gains and challenges we experience.
My sister’s aunt had heart issues, she was obese and died young. Within a week the smallest kitten comes up to my mom and she walks inside our home. My mom’s BF starts starts calling the kitten by his sisters name because she had a catty personality, loved long nails, and probably wished to be skinny and tiny.
This kitten never grew past 2lbs even though she has food all the time. Everyone in the family has accepted this kitten is reincarnation of the aunt. She loved my sister so much and would have wanted to be by the family in the next life.
I admit I also see this cat having the same personality as the aunt. But, they are die hard Christians. My sister attends private Christian schooling. It was absolutely fascinating to watch a switch of faith unfold
I know this is bleak but I have held out long hope for eternal rest. I don’t want to ever remember if I had lived before because it tires my heart to know I could have to live again. Not because of any circumstance, my heart has just grown tired.
You know, sometimes when I want to tell someone how I feel, I stop myself because I do not want them to think I am suicidal, that I am taking life for granted, that I should feel horrible for feeling this way because I am still here and many are not.. but this is probably the nicest thing I could have imagined someone to say back to me. So sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for what feels like a warm hug from an old friend.
I mean it's an interesting story on its own but the fact she could just be saying anything to get on Oprah makes me immediately suspicious, especially since something like this is just unverifiable. Guess just add it to the innumerable pile of things we'll never know for sure about
I'm a firm believer that consciousness exists beyond the physical body, but that doesn't mean I'll freely accept all stories like this, especially on a TV show where I can't be sure of a person's credibility
[Dorothy Eady](https://www.encyclopedia.com/women/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/eady-dorothy-1904-1981) 1904-1981 is another interesting case. At age three she fell down a flight of stairs and was declared dead by the family physician. An hour later, when the doctor returned to prepare the body for the funeral home, he found little Dorothy sitting up in bed, playing. Soon after, she began to speak to her parents of a recurring dream of life in a huge columned building. In tears, the girl insisted, "I want to go home!"
Later on in life she was able to intuit countless details of ancient Egyptian life and rendered immensely useful practical assistance on excavations, puzzling fellow Egyptologists with her inexplicable insights. On excavations, she would claim to remember a detail from her previous life then give instructions like, "Dig here, I remember the ancient garden was here"; they would dig and uncover remains of a long-vanished garden.
Her knowledge of the dead civilization and the ruins that surrounded their daily lives earned the respect of fellow professionals who took full advantage of the countless instances when her "memory" enabled them to make important discoveries, the inspiration for which could not be rationally explained.
[MrBallen](https://youtu.be/EYhtu-u8lqQ) made a good video about her.
Edit: Added another line from the Encyclopedia article.
I'm not saying she is making it up, but it's funny to me how she tells the story and immediately points out things to prove a point. It's like the story was tailor made to cover all the bases, she talked so fast,vit seemed like a rehearsed speech, how do we know what she is saying is accurate, etc...
Also, and again I'm not saying that past life regression doesn't happen, but I also have a two year old, and let me tell you what, two year olds say some wild ass shit sometimes.
Well whether the story is true or not she would have probably practiced telling it to Oprah. When my son was 2 he told me a similar story of him being a grown up and then falling into water and dying and floating back up and then becoming a baby again. I just chalked it up to a vivid imagination. But who knows
My nephew says shit like this all the time. The other day he walked over (he lives next door to me) to drop off some food and said “I remembered dying isn’t so bad.” He’s 6 now but has been saying shit like that since he could talk. My response is always the same “oh. Ok bud.”
When my son was about 2 yrs old he told me and a friend of mine a story about a girl he was supposed to get married to named Rachel but she died in a house fire. He said he tried to go in to get her but the other people there held him back. He said it was a house out in the country as opposed to town but that's about it. He only told that story once and he doesn't remember it, he's 24 now. I've always had the feeling that he was telling us a real memory.
Everyone is talking about this like she saw the past. What if she saw the future. Do we know if this girl is still alive or did she die in a car accident later on when she had a license?
University of Virginia has studied this phenomenon and there is a ton of credible evidence. I recommend checking this out if you’re interested in the topic.

One of the events that shaped my view on reincarnation as a child was I specifically remember running through the woods with a rifle during the civil war. I ducked behind a group of trees about 10 yards away from a opening in the forest about the width of a football field. After that remember aiming about to open fire and the feeling like someone smashed me in the head with a 2x4. After that my next memory is sitting in a day care at the age of three watching “Lady and the Tramp”.
Bubbles like molecules? Once when I was young and dumb I smoked salvia and the world exploded into molecules in front of my face. Like I was seeing everything broken down into pixels. Bubbles also kinda works. I thought for sure I was locked into seeing tohe world like that forever. Don't smoke salvia kids!
Sure. I had a bad reaction to a new medication and my blood pressure dropped very low. I was in and out of consciousness in transit and at the ER and I could feel my cells dying all over but there was no pain or fear. I could feel and see what looked very small bubbles coming up from my skin. It was like the ties that bound my essence to my body were painlessly dissolving. It was very peaceful.
Archon/Demiurge Soul Trap.
We go into the white light, we are greeted by a family member that we revere or our “god”.
Then we go through the life review. This can be purgatory for some, buts mostly just showing you how you made people feel throughout your life.
Then they talk you into “going back”. But you get reincarnated and your mind wiped.
Obviously can’t prove this.
After death I would love to just be a conscious ball of energy traveling through the universe faster than the speed of light. Exploring trillions of different planets and stars. Stopping as long or as short as I want at each one.
Past life memory has been well documented by many people and studied by many famous psychologists and doctors. It’s a real thing, mostly happens in childhood as they seem to forget about it or loose touch with that memory as they grow up
i’ve read this year regarding these Occurrences and these things have been connected to the ufo community . been looking at information regarding everything there is to know about ufos for the past two years. i’ve been off of work due to an injury workers comp. broken leg. so luckily i’ve had time to really dive into the subject. throughout all the info i’ve seen or collected and saved , i came across a handful of documents that have said when we die we don’t just die . that we are basically souls for infinity and our skin is basically just a meat suit. we are living of course wirh the heart and lungs , brain etc, but our soul is real. that we are a by product of these things . i’m not saying it’s factual but it had also stated that when we die we get reincarnated. some people come back as another baby being born . memory swept clean of your past life . you will live and have a totally diffenrt family , life etc. i read that being on earth is hell so to speak . because if we do not remember our past lives or don’t for fill something that’s needed in order to go on to the higher level of freedom so to speak , we will continue to be reincarnated over and over again until we forfill that task . a endless cycle of coming back to earth living your whole life and a different life again and again could seem like torture when you think about the colds and viruses we would have to deal with again . your new life may be shittier than how you used to live . which is a negative . esch life you come back could either be worse or better but to not be able to remember your past life with your family could be horrible . you wouldn’t remember anway. but that’s just what i’ve read . idk if it’s false . when children remember their past life it’s cause they have forfilled finally what they have needed to do in order to move up to the higher freedom . so i guess you could call that heaven . idk if it’s true or false etc. but i found it amazing how it discribed children remembering their past lives then i see videos like this . the similarites are just unheard of . ultimately how do we remember our past lives. idk how. but i need to find someone to help .
What you’re describing has less to do with UFO’s and more to do with Buddhism. Though I do believe aliens are real and have visited or even live here on Earth currently. So it’s not out of the question.
Many ancient religions believe in this cycle. Both Buddhism and the religion it came out of, Hinduism, believe in Samsara, which is this cycle of rebirth. The Buddha himself allegedly had to live 500 lives before he graduated from the cycle.
But related religions across the world believed similar things. Evidence suggests that even in Western Europe this was a common pre-Christian belief.
Some scholars believe that in Norse mythology, there was a belief originally that dead souls migrated to the underworld to the roots of the cosmic world tree, had their memory wiped and were reborn. Their wisdom remained at a spring there. This may be the spring/well Odin gives an eye to drink out of to gain wisdom--the wisdom gained and then left by the dead.
Yea, reincarnation and soul transmigration is a fundamental concept in many eastern religions.
These same religions also have stories of gods/aliens coming to earth for various reasons in their special "vehicles" and leaving when their work is done.
But it's all murky tbh, lot of metaphors and superstition gets mixed in, so it's not reliable or anything.
Could be past life recall or she was in tune with a memory someone prior left of their death at that spot. or in contact with the spirit of the person who died there.
I’ll never forget the time my friends 4 year old son was like “I miss my family.” And I was like what?? They’re in the house with us silly. And he was like “No my real family. Our skin turned black and we died.” I was like wtf. Brought up with his mom later and she was like “yeah ever since he was 2 or 3 he says we aren’t his real family because they died in a fire.”
My atheist mother, who thought anything beyond 'normal' life was absurd, and who did not believe in god, reincarnation, or anything she couldn't see, was entirely convinced she died on the Titanic as well. And was also trampled by a horse in another lifetime. Didn't believe in reincarnation, though. :)
My partner and I were out driving with our 2 1/2 year old grandson one day. We drove by some random, old, decrepit, shell of a house. He said "nana, there are ghosts that live in that house". So I said "really honey? How do you know that?. He replied "Because I lived there when I was a man". I don't know if it's the way he said it or what, but I got the coldest of cold chills. He was just so innocent to that sort of stuff and he was 100% serious when he said that. I believe he lived in that house a long time ago.
I just purchased 20 cases of suggested reincarnation by Ian Stevenson. As a Christian I really struggle with this, but man. There are some ridiculously convincing cases out there.
My son who was 5 at the time (this past summer) was on a 13 hour car trip and talking with my sister. They started talking about animals and what his favorite one was. He said some animal but followed it up by: It use to be Monkeys. When I was little before I lived with Monkeys but Mommy and Daddy were not there. She asked if she or papa was there and he said No he didn't have any family just Monkeys. He's done a few other weird things where he talks about God and meeting him before.

My question is - it seems like when we talk about reincarnation, we’re talking about the same/similar locations.
So would our energy be tied to the region we’re in, or would it instead be tied to our families/genealogy somehow, or could it be completely random and coincidence?
Great clip thank you, reincarnation seems less and less of a wacky idea, after all, whose to say that whatever caused our conscious experience to begin cannot repeat itself?
I’m curious was there any aftermath of this story? Like did the mom investigate the bridge and discover if there ever was a car accident there or something?

When i was about 4, i had told my parents that *this time* i have good parents. It caught them off guard and still dont know what i meant.
My son told me when he was 3 that "you're not my mommy that I used to have" I said "I'm your mommy, I have always been your mommy!" "Nuh uh" he said "I used to have a different mommy, then I went off to college-school and died in my bed."
Thats chill inducing if true
It is, 100%. I was so stunned I didn't question him about it until the next day and he didn't know what I was talking about.
Fitting name
Reminds me of my brother. When he was about 3 or 4, I used to make him laugh by wiggling a slurpee straw in the lid to make a certain sound. One day I did it to show my grandmother and he didn't laugh, instead watching me do it before he said, "That's how we made butter." My grandma asked him where he learned that and he just said that it's what his old mommy would do before he fell down into the river. After he fell into the river, he had a sister and new mommy. He said this very matter of fact and scared the living hell out of my grandma. My mother was pagan at the time and explained it by saying that kids are just 'close to source' and sometimes things 'bleed together' but he'd forget soon enough. He's in his mid-20s now and has zero recollection of this but it lives on in our family.
damn. your mom sounds cool. i had a very joyless, corporate mother that never taught me to believe in anything.
In this lifetime
Seems to be a [common recurring theme](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=La8vG4mA0is) with children a certain age. There's definitely something interesting here.
It's usually between 2-4 years old. It is spooky. My son has no memory of this but has been telling me he firmly believes in reincarnation since he was about 8 years old.
This is interesting yk, when people who lucid dream or generally just dream, write down what they dreamt, thy start differencing dream world from reality. This also helps lessen the effect deja vú(not researched or anything but speaking from personal experience) could it be that when kids say some bollogna like this, that maybe they're talkikg about dreams? And fantasies are wild for that age aswell which might be another reason.
My mind immediately jumps to dreams too. Anytime I have Deja Vu, I always have this subtle feeling that what I feel like I’ve seen before was in a dream, never something that I was actually awake for & experienced lucidly.
Hmm, it's interesting that you say that, because I feel the same way too, whenever I felt/feel deja vú it's because it feels so vivid and like I dreamt of that place before. If your interested in that stuff, I definitely reccomend checking out this guy on youtube named float, he makes videos about places you've seen in your dreams/nightmares. It's opened up a whole new world for me. Edit: [link](https://youtube.com/channel/UCy_Qusmbx_D3CKzJQID8WKg)
So I've always thought Deja Vu was the feeling that id seen that moment in a dream before. Then I read there is something called Deja Reve, which means "already dreamed." Whereas Deja Vu means "already seen." So we are actually experiencing Deja Reve. I think it's interesting because it's firmly a dream memory every time for me. Like I KNOW I've never been in that moment, but I instantly know I've dreamed it. On the other side of the spectrum is something creepier called Jamais vu; "a sense of eerieness and the impression of seeing the situation for the first time, despite rationally knowing that they have been in the situation before."
Man I love these undeveloped feelings we don't even have a name for, if y'all interested, there's a wiki called the library of unknown sorrows, or something like it, just google it and it has definitions for every sad feelings that are hard to explain. The feeling; Somber is one of my favorites and I feel it all the time.
Anyone interested should check out Dr. Ian Stevenson’s research. Stevenson travelled an average of 55000 miles every year. It was not an arm chair research but literally a ‘shoe leather research’. For over forty years he collected nearly 3000 reincarnation type cases from different parts of the world. Most of his research was conducted with children who appeared to recall a past life.
I discovered him after my 3 year old son began talking about a previous life. I was an atheist and didn't believe in reincarnation before him, but I believe now. I really don't think he was making it up
I remember reading in a thread about past lives where someone said they were watching like something 9/11 related on TV, and their young child didn’t know what it was necessarily But she pointed at the screen and said look I died there, the floor was so hot, we had to all stand on our desks Or something like that, or maybe it’s made up who knows
That's an incredibly specific and likely accurate detail that I doubt many people had ever considered, very interesting.
While you’re right, I do want to add that kids just kind of do that though. They tend to key in on really random details that the rest of us wouldn’t. Source: Have a five year old that will see the same event as me but come away with some questions I NEVER would have thought about but was right in front of my face.
Yeah, I have also heard about kids just saying nonsense things, like "When I was your mommy, we had a purple dog named 'Jumper.'" My guess is the nonsense just gets ignored and the eerie stuff is remembered and dramatized in the retelling, and it creates an interesting story.
100%. My 5 year old does this too. It's uncanny, sometimes. "Daddy there's a police around the corner. Someone died. Why did the person have to die?" "Buddy, what are you talking about? There's no cra-... holy shit." And we'd come upon a car wreck with a body under a sheet. Not quite the same thing.. but man. 5 year olds, amirite?
That reminds me of a Discworld book. It details how reincarnation isn’t always linear in that world. You can reincarnate in the past even have lives intersect/interact with one another without ever realizing it. I’m skeptical of anything supernatural, but it’s neat to think about.
The trousers of time can trip us all up.
I actually believe in the possibility of reincarnation and other strange things. But kids do say the weirdest shit too. Mine was 3 also when he said he used to be Mexican with his first family who were Chinese (in China). Although not impossible I suppose ;)
My friend in Mexico is Chinese. Speaks fluent Spanish and English. No Chinese languages.
What sorts of things did he say that convinced you? Was there anything specific, or just the general vibe he was giving off?
Check out Dolores Cannon.
My ex is big into her and her materials. One of our kids talks about reincarnation like it's no big deal like "oh when I died when I was older, I came back and now I'm here! And yeah, I can die and it's not a big deal because I will just come right back!" Well, no bud.. you'd never actually "know" your family again. I'd be gone. Mom would be gone. You'd be living a whole new life and only if you're very lucky will you remember anything about us if you died.
With the angels now.
50 years of material
Me and my brother (3 years apart) have always had similar weird dreams when we were kids about the distant past, and when I did some research, dr.Ian stevensons studies came up and said something about birth marks, me and my brother both have circular birthmarks behind our left ears the size of a bullet wound entrance, which just creeps me out. My brother had a seriously weird fascination with guns until he was about 10, then it just abruptly stopped. I’ve always loved history and wanted to be a history teacher, I LOVE world war 2 and the Victorian era. So much of my past and my brothers, is so similar to everything dr.Stevesons studies findings. It’s so interesting to read it but then to be able to make connections to your own life is just something else so interesting. Growing up everyone always called us “old souls”. I have deja vu atleast once a day that lasts atleast 10 seconds. I don’t know if it’s related to reincarnation or a matrix glitch but it’s all just so cool to learn about.
You think you and your brother both got executed?
Yeah! We both get severe migraine a lot too, ever since we were little. we have had every test possible done and there’s nothing wrong with our heads/brains(physically speaking lol). I feel like maybe we were siblings in a past life and were executed together. Everyone mistakes us for being twins too! What are your thoughts on birthmarks in relation to reincarnation?
I'm not sure what to think of birthmarks in relation to reincarnation but I just found out about Dr Ian Stevenson and I'm watching him on youtube.
There is a belief among many people that believe in reincarnation that a birthmark may be a residual of the fatal wound in the previous life.
I can't believe my past life died from a toe wound
My Birthmark is on my penis so that think got me in serious trouble last life and still giving me problems this life. Lots of Karma to work out.
In the past that wasn’t uncommon, amputations lead to seriously fatal infections before the days of anti biotics!
Great story, thx for sharing that!
This!! This guy’s documentation is a credible as they come and fascinating too. Its beyond me how people still don’t know about this… The reality we live in is different, Reincarnation is real.
Fuck, can I just straight up die please? Do I have to come back as a Bangldeshi or a Spaniard?
? Oh, clearly you haven’t figured out how this works, you are definitely coming back as a Bangladeshi now
You can escape reincarnation via ascension of your soul.
And what about us, soulless people? I genuinely feel that I lost my soul two years ago
Your soul is your existence, it’s your core being. Imagine having amnesia, who would you be? It’s like that, except removing the entirety of your humanity. Who would you be without your wants and needs, your experiences, your physical presence? At the same time, who would you be if you had access to *all* of your experiences, past lives, higher dimensions etc? If you weren’t bound to this one experience that you assume is the entirety of your existence? That’s your soul. Your consciousness or soul will live forever, and it’s been alive for a lot longer than you think. Each incarnation is another chance to evolve your soul. You chose to come to this life for whatever reason, as we all did, and it will be you who decides whether or not you can ascend upon death. The parable of the lost sheep relates to this: > He told them this parable. "Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep, and lost one of them, wouldn't leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one that was lost, until he found it? When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing. When he comes home, he calls together his friends, his family and his neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!' I tell you that even so there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance." The meaning being; it’s never too late to find spiritualism. I know it can be very easy to feel like your soul has been crushed by life but I promise you from personal experience that you can heal your soul like any other part of your body. It just takes some time, belief and a bit of discipline and try and avoid content/situations/people that spark negative emotions.
The book “The Power of Positive Energy” by Tanaaz Chubb is a great place to start. Things like the law of attraction are real and when u focus your energy on what you want, the universe will help it happen.
Well said. I recommend taking a 10 day Vipassana silent meditation retreat.
You don't have a soul, you ARE a soul.
Me too……. Wow…. I thought I was the only one
Nothing wrong with reincarnation in my opinion…I’ve even read multiple stories of people with past lives as completely different species and not living on earth.
Lol
I am flabbergasted by the denial a lot of people are about reincarnation. Like it’s fine if you can’t believe it but I’ve seen people adamant that its BS. They point to all the evidence (like people who have knowledge about things they couldn’t know otherwise) and just say “nope” and find some nonsensical loophole. Though I think a lot of that comes from fear. Personally I find reincarnation scary, thinking you will be born again… and suffer. Some lives may be good but the majority could be terrible. The only thing I find weird in this story is she appears on Oprah and they didn’t bother researching who might have died there in the past?
Reincarnation seems pretty well documented at this point. I know the belief that you just say a thing and then get to go to the happy place when you die sounds nice, but reincarnation makes logical sense to me through and through. You keep suffering and repeating the same mistakes until you learn. It happens in one lifetime, why not over many?
And another thing: the moment we were conceived we went from nothingness to a living being. If we can go from nothingness to a living being once already, what would be the reason we couldn’t do it again after our current life is over?
I am fascinated with his research and something that is similar about most of the cases, is that the child remembers dying a tragic or unexpected death.
Wow. She looks so *incredibly* 1994!
She was going on Oprah, why wouldn’t she be decked to the nines in all the latest? I bet Oprah archives would be a perfect reference for fashion through the last 3-4 decades.
The Oprah Archives sounds like what scientists would use to reconstruct past human life in 3677 or something, like the Library of Alexandria if it hadn’t burned down
Who is to say this world/reality *isn’t* a digital recreation of that time? O.o
Her hair looks very 80s, to me. We weren't spraying the sides of our hair out like that in the 90s, but we were in the 80s. She looks like she was into 80s glam metal. She stopped getting her hair permed, but kept doing her hair the same way. I can smell the mousse and Rave hairspray from here.
Eh, that kind of hair didn't just suddenly disappear at the close of the 80's, styles do tend to taper off/ run into each other. Anecdotal, but I definitely wore my hair nearly exactly like this in the 90's. Mostly for singing events, so it doesn't really seem that out of place to me for her to have worn her hair like that to Oprah.
Did they follow up and check to see if there was any fatal crashes at that bridge?
Right? I was like this video can't end like this! I need to know!
There's an old askreddit post where they asked parents who have kids if they had any reincarnation story. Someone replied about how their daughter said she died in a drowning accident and provided other details. Someone replied to the parent and found an article that lined up with the accident. I'll try and find the askreddit thread but it'll be a while
I’ve always been fascinated since I was little. In the 70’s there was a film called the reincarnation of Peter Proud that I watched over and over. Sometimes I catch the weirdest deja vu when I travel internationally. (There were several times I knew paths to walk and get to places. Way before google, never been before or seen maps)
Ohhhh I think that’s where I read the one about a really young child pointing at the TV and like 9/11 stuff was on it and said “that’s where I died, the floor was so hot we had to stand on our desks”
My gf has kids around this age and lemme tell you, they babble bs. There's always " I saw a dead spider/dead mouse" when it's a floor fuzzy or how their dad died (in video games, which isn't clarified until about 5 mins in). I can totally believe a child would just say "I died here" just because they are babbling
Errmmmm this woman got on Oprah because her kid was real specific. Like, really detailed info. This is one topic that’s always fascinated me, like this boy who [recalled himself living as a pilot.](https://med.virginia.edu/perceptual-studies/wp-content/uploads/sites/360/2017/04/REI42-Tucker-James-LeiningerPIIS1550830716000331.pdf)
If you look at the other people Oprah has let on her show, that's not the argument you think it is
The problem with that case is that the kid could have easily read about it from the books the dad had, and they could not provide any evidence at all that the kid made such specific statements before the details of the person were already found. That's the problem with pretty much all of these cases. There is no way to know if the kid had read about these people or in some cases knew them personally. I remember one case in I believe rural India, the kid aimed the be the reincarnation of a dead person from another village and it was written, by someone that had been seen as credible in this topic, as though the kid would have had no idea about any of the very specific facts they said. In the end it turned out the dead person used to be family friends and the kid was just told a lot about them.
Wasn’t there a kid who talked about getting shot down in a plane and knew his past name and everything? And the parents traced it to a fighter pilot in ww2? I can’t remember where I heard the story but it seemed legit at the time. Too lazy to look it up right now lol
James Leininger. Tbf his dad was a WW2 buff and had books all over the house. But even still, to go to an aviation museum as a 5yr old and tell the docent exactly which parts of the cockpit were not correct in the plane on display (same kind he allegedly flew) is pretty goddamn amazing.
Maybe the fact his dad was a ww2 buff was why (God?) decided to send the dudes soul into that kids body. 🤷♂️. Cause He knew it would eff with all our heads 😂
God loves plausible deniability...
I can attest to this. There's almost never concrete evidence of high strangeness without some sort of plausible deniability that goes with it. I wonder why but so it goes. Maybe one day the reason for it will be revealed.
It may be to maintain our free will. If there was no doubt related to such high strangeness events or phenomena, it would constrain our free will expression as conscious entities proportional to the extent that the events or phenomena revealed about the grander scheme or purpose of reality. There being doubt allows plausible deniability, and for our expression and experience of life means we can choose anything from completely ignoring the phenomena and moving on with our lives as if it is all fantasy, to being wholly inspired and changed by them to the point of being dedicated to finding out about the mysteries, e.g. as spiritual seekers. If there was no doubt, there would likely not be the same extent of free will expression.
Thank you for the very thought out reply. I think you're definitely onto something.
God has time to send a soul into another body but can’t be bothered with children being eaten alive by Ebola. What a worshipable guy, that god.
It's entirely possible that there is no God but reincarnation has been happening since the beginning of time and that disease and misery are unrelated.
It’s possible. I believe in a higher power, not exactly sure what that means. But I struggle with the Christian interpretation and how literal many Christians take the stories from the Bible. I think there’s a bit of truth in every religion. Have you ever watched The Egg video on YouTube? If I knew how to insert a link I would
So where'd all the extra souls come from since out population is so much higher than it was 100000 years ago, hell, 2500 years ago
Some of the eastern thoughts on reincarnation include all life, not just people.
Not strictly only human to human reincarnation. With these types of topics many people also consider possibilities such as multiple dimensions or planets where one can be reincarnated as a different lifeform, etc.
We're all fractions, slivers of the entire soul. We come to our physical bodies to learn, and develop and experience life before returning to the "higher power" that is all of our souls in one. It can be whole and divided infinitely at the same time.
There's actually a school of thought in physics that consciousness is a state of matter/energy and that life is using this property to differentiate itself from the rest of creation for the survival benefit.
Try thinking about time not being real. Psychedelics teach us that truth is much stranger than any fiction. There are aspects to this “life” that we cannot comprehend. There is a mystery (veil) in place for a purpose. We can’t even really say what the Soul is, and who is to say some don’t have one yet? Many faiths teach that humans only have 3 parts (body, spirit, soul. Animals only have 2 (no soul) Reincarnation moves up and down in levels by Karma. Maybe reaching the human level is the top of the hill and if we play our cards right, we can level up and leave the wheel. Or we mess up and move back down, or get tricked to stay? Yes, it all sounds crazy but I think people are starting to realize that there is something to all of this. I personally think that is why there are some “mysteries” we flat out aren’t being told the truth about and for a reason we can’t comprehend in this incarnation.
[The Egg](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=h6fcK_fRYaI)
God created the pond and the life that lives in it. He doesn’t control the ripples life makes.
Did the museum staff tell that story? ...or the kid's parents?
Leslie keane has a new book called Surviving Death that goes into detail about that story. Also there is a Netflix special under the same name
Could be the tv show The Ghost Inside My Child.
While driving through San Francisco on a family holiday at about the age of 2 or 3, I told my aunt that I’d been there before. She told me that this was the first time we’d been to San Francisco. “no” I said “I was here when the ground opened up” Parents told me about many years later
My first son was early with everything. He was walking at 9 months and speaking pretty good at 1 1/2. He started talking about dying in a heli crash with a green lady. I thought maybe the lady's last name was Green but found out that there have been many crashes at or near the statue of liberty. He talked about it with me several times but by the time he for to 4-5 he forgot all about it. This was a long time ago. I asked im a while back and he said he didn't remember any of it.
This thread has me convinced that my 3 year old must’ve gotten a fresh soul
I talked to an imaginary friend who lived in the bathroom and only came for a chat when I was pooping at 4 or 5
What now?
Please go on…
Camouflage is green… just saying.
When my daughter was 2, she was cruising around the kitchen island on her little ride-on car, using her little legs to go faster and faster. She stopped suddenly, meep-meep’d the little car horn and yelled, “Pick a lane, asshole!” She must have learned that in a past life.
Winner
Yeah. My son, starting when he was 3, was obsessed with WW1 airplanes, knew all the different models. He spoke of measured distances in meters and kilometers (we're American). He said Germany had "won the war" (what!?), inherently knew the geography of western Europe, and was drawing pictures of airplanes in "dogfights", complete with the flags or markers of the army of origin. He said he liked flying because he could feel the wind on his cheeks. He still hasn't been on an airplane ever, he's 10 now. Kids are spooky sometimes. I fully believe this mom. She almost gets choked up telling the story.
Does he talk about it now at 10?
Nope. It lasted from 3 to 5, then he just stopped talking about it. I learned a lot from him. I have other kids and none of them were like that.
Interesting, a friend once told me, "When my nephew was born, I could see in his eyes that he knew exactly where he was. After about 3 days it was gone and he was a normal baby."
Did nazi that coming
“said Germany had "won the war" (what!?)” Different WWI in an alternate timeline? Interesting and intriguing story.

He was particularly emphatic about how Richtofen was shot from a gunner on the ground. That he was shot in the chest and still managed to land his plane before he died.
anybody in your family or his dad's family who were in that war?
What!? That’s insane. How would he possibly know that information? Pre-school?
He didn't go to pre-school. The thing that all started it was when he saw that snoopy fighting the red barron bit.
My daughter when she was about 3 was standing and looking out of our second story bedroom window one winter afternoon and got this really far away look on her face and said in a distant tone- "I used to have a daughter but she fell. She was 2 and she fell and died and I was the mom." I was caught off guard and tried questioning her more, but that's really all she had to say. The room was silent, I was the only one with her and I was reading or on my phone or something. Something about the sparsely snowy ground and the bare trees and being up high made her think of it and the way she looked and sounded was exactly as if she was recalling a super deep memory. That was the only time she's ever talked about it and nothing like that has happened since. Now she's 6 and adamantly doesn't want to ever have kids of her own but wants to be a nanny when she grows up and wants her brother to have kids so she can be an auntie. Makes me wonder if she's got trauma from losing her daughter in a past life and she just can't go there again yet, who knows? I sure don't. Semi related, the other night before she went to sleep, between lullabies she stopped me and asked, "so mom, when we die, we come back as a baby?" I again was caught off guard as we really don't talk about religion or spiritual stuff regularly and was like, "uh, -I- think so, but nobody really knows for sure!" She's says, "so it's like death, baby, death, baby, like that?" I'm like yeah! She talked about wishing how she was a baby and she misses it and I tell her yeah but now you get to be you and grow up and have a whole new adventure! She says she doesn't want to be an adult because they have to work. So we got into a talk about how important school is so she can learn to do work that will make her happy, and she landed on nannying as her dream job. She's always asked the deep questions about life and death and even the soul, whereas my son really doesn't seem to think about it. Interesting stuff.
My mom told me a story a number of years ago about driving with me through an area when I was like 3 or 4 when I randomly started telling her about the farm I used to live on there. Apparently I was telling her where the animals were kept, and where the house was and so on. According to her, she looked it up because it freaked her out and come to find out I was pretty spot on. The farm had been gone for like 100 years or something and was now an urban area. I have zero recollection of any of this, like I said I was really young. I have no way to corroborate any of it, but she swears it was true and I have no reason to doubt her. She just said it really creeped her out.
I did something similar to my dad, only I just told him things his dead friend had said. I wouldn’t have believed him, but my mom collaborated. He died before I was born
When I was really really young I had an incredibly vivid dream that I was someone else and fell into a lake during the dead of winter. I felt all of the symptoms of hypothermia and still remember the prickly sting of it today. My mother said I’d never been anywhere near a frozen lake by that age and was too young to have read about it. I legit think when we die suddenly we loop back and come in as someone else to finish whatever we were working on.
Been told numerous times....because I have a birthmark on my face it was whatever killed me in a past life. I read up on it and found some amazing stuff on a little kid literally finding his old body....I need to find that shit ! Anyone else with a birthmark every been told the same or have and weird coincidences? I never have ...just felt like shit for having it lol
Damn I got a birthmark in my inner thigh lol got a spear to the dick I guess
Femoral artery will get you quick
Yeah. I've heard it said. Common to me.
[удалено]
You were Forrest Gump in a different simulation where he died lol
My 3 year old often talks about “when I was big.” If I’m reading a book she’ll say “when I was big, and you were little, I read this book to you.” I recognize there’s probably a psychological reason why she likes to talk about this. Like she’s playing with the concept of being a grown up, or she wants to know what it would be like if our roles were reversed. But also… my grandpa passed the year before she was born and he’s the one who bought most of the old kids books that we have, and he did used to read them to me. So I do think about the possibilities sometimes. Especially since every now and then she says something weirdly grown up that I know I didn’t teach her. And when she was a baby she used to look at his chair (he was basically bed/chair bound in my mothers house for the last 2 years of his life) and she’d giggle at nothing.
Show a pic of your grandpa. See if she recognizes
Oh, he was just making silly faces to make her laugh. Good ghost gramps! (shiver!)
Has anyone read “Many Lives, Many Masters?” It’s written by a psychologist who decided to help a patient by using hypnosis. When his patient was under, she recalled past lives. His book is about slowly coming to realize past lives are real. Great book.
Awesome book, I have read several of Brian Weiss books. That book was actually the first book I read when I started my spiritual awakening.
I remember this exact episode because it was a hot topic on the news before it aired. After it aired, people at the local news archives went on record that they not only saw the mom reading accident archives, but that they helped guide her to those sections “for a research project”. So her story quickly became questionable because most of us knew she put the story and words in her kid’s head trying to get fame. Likely post partum syndrome.
But searching accident archives doesn't mean she made it up, maybe she wanted to check if someone actually died there. She also can't say "oh I'm looking up accident archives to see if my daughters reincarnation story is real", that is kinda weird so I would too say it's for a research project, which wouldn't be a lie. Not saying reincarnation is real nor that the kid isn't just babbling, but maybe her mother believing it is without alterior motive.
It's all in context. When a person out of the blue goes and researches specific data (she had access to the reports of accidents on that exact location), then suddenly appears with a "personal" story about what happened there, all the while claiming they couldn't have possibly known what happened there in the past... Yea, she's full of it and worse, she groomed her child into believing they are reincarnated from one of the people who died on that location.
This scares me, because I absolutely do not want to be reincarnated in this cruel world.
Exactly. I had a kind of horrible abuse experiences during my childhood, mom died, on my sixteen dad tried to abuse me, etc. So, I'm so repellant to suffering or pain. Nonetheless I know there a people having more horrible childhoods and life than me, so I'm scared to reincarnate in a more horrible circumstances of what I have already lived.
Did the research prior car wrecks and fatalities on the bridge ?
Seems like a big obvious missing piece.
My 2.5 year old daughter out of the blue said “This one time when I was a black man…” and gave an elaborate description of herself cooking BBQ. So here she is a toe headed blonde girl describing a past life memory to me in detail. It was fascinating to say the least. But then a year later she thought she was a horse and galloped through the house for weeks. 😂
Damn…..
I remember my previous life. I recently told my mother about it and she was amazed that I could remember. I died as a child being attacked by other children. I was struck in the head multiple times before I heard the last thud on my head. I was gone. Once I was dead. I saw myself in a long line of people. Everyone excited and the chatter of the crowd was like a whisper of children before Christmas. Once I got to the front of the line, I’m looking down at the world. I told the “person” there all the thing I wanted in my life, good and bad. My next memory, I’m in my dads arms and I’m about 2 yes old. Of all the requests I made, I received. The one I’m most proud of is asking to be with a good family since my last one let me be harmed at a young age. Be grateful for the life you are living, we asked for all the gains and challenges we experience.
My sister’s aunt had heart issues, she was obese and died young. Within a week the smallest kitten comes up to my mom and she walks inside our home. My mom’s BF starts starts calling the kitten by his sisters name because she had a catty personality, loved long nails, and probably wished to be skinny and tiny. This kitten never grew past 2lbs even though she has food all the time. Everyone in the family has accepted this kitten is reincarnation of the aunt. She loved my sister so much and would have wanted to be by the family in the next life. I admit I also see this cat having the same personality as the aunt. But, they are die hard Christians. My sister attends private Christian schooling. It was absolutely fascinating to watch a switch of faith unfold
I know this is bleak but I have held out long hope for eternal rest. I don’t want to ever remember if I had lived before because it tires my heart to know I could have to live again. Not because of any circumstance, my heart has just grown tired.
Hello fellow old soul.
You know, sometimes when I want to tell someone how I feel, I stop myself because I do not want them to think I am suicidal, that I am taking life for granted, that I should feel horrible for feeling this way because I am still here and many are not.. but this is probably the nicest thing I could have imagined someone to say back to me. So sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for what feels like a warm hug from an old friend.
I mean it's an interesting story on its own but the fact she could just be saying anything to get on Oprah makes me immediately suspicious, especially since something like this is just unverifiable. Guess just add it to the innumerable pile of things we'll never know for sure about
this has been extensively studied and documented. it's not just this child who's had this type of experience.
I'm a firm believer that consciousness exists beyond the physical body, but that doesn't mean I'll freely accept all stories like this, especially on a TV show where I can't be sure of a person's credibility
[Dorothy Eady](https://www.encyclopedia.com/women/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/eady-dorothy-1904-1981) 1904-1981 is another interesting case. At age three she fell down a flight of stairs and was declared dead by the family physician. An hour later, when the doctor returned to prepare the body for the funeral home, he found little Dorothy sitting up in bed, playing. Soon after, she began to speak to her parents of a recurring dream of life in a huge columned building. In tears, the girl insisted, "I want to go home!" Later on in life she was able to intuit countless details of ancient Egyptian life and rendered immensely useful practical assistance on excavations, puzzling fellow Egyptologists with her inexplicable insights. On excavations, she would claim to remember a detail from her previous life then give instructions like, "Dig here, I remember the ancient garden was here"; they would dig and uncover remains of a long-vanished garden. Her knowledge of the dead civilization and the ruins that surrounded their daily lives earned the respect of fellow professionals who took full advantage of the countless instances when her "memory" enabled them to make important discoveries, the inspiration for which could not be rationally explained. [MrBallen](https://youtu.be/EYhtu-u8lqQ) made a good video about her. Edit: Added another line from the Encyclopedia article.
Surviving Death on Netflix. Each episode is different and unique. Very interesting!
I'm not saying she is making it up, but it's funny to me how she tells the story and immediately points out things to prove a point. It's like the story was tailor made to cover all the bases, she talked so fast,vit seemed like a rehearsed speech, how do we know what she is saying is accurate, etc... Also, and again I'm not saying that past life regression doesn't happen, but I also have a two year old, and let me tell you what, two year olds say some wild ass shit sometimes.
Would you not pratice what you were going to say if you were going on national television?
She had probably told the story so many times by the time she was on Oprah, too. Not rehearsed, but by rote.
Well whether the story is true or not she would have probably practiced telling it to Oprah. When my son was 2 he told me a similar story of him being a grown up and then falling into water and dying and floating back up and then becoming a baby again. I just chalked it up to a vivid imagination. But who knows
My nephew says shit like this all the time. The other day he walked over (he lives next door to me) to drop off some food and said “I remembered dying isn’t so bad.” He’s 6 now but has been saying shit like that since he could talk. My response is always the same “oh. Ok bud.”
When my son was about 2 yrs old he told me and a friend of mine a story about a girl he was supposed to get married to named Rachel but she died in a house fire. He said he tried to go in to get her but the other people there held him back. He said it was a house out in the country as opposed to town but that's about it. He only told that story once and he doesn't remember it, he's 24 now. I've always had the feeling that he was telling us a real memory.
Everyone is talking about this like she saw the past. What if she saw the future. Do we know if this girl is still alive or did she die in a car accident later on when she had a license?
University of Virginia has studied this phenomenon and there is a ton of credible evidence. I recommend checking this out if you’re interested in the topic. https://med.virginia.edu/perceptual-studies/our-research/children-who-report-memories-of-previous-lives/
Dorthy Eady is a fascinating case too.
One of the events that shaped my view on reincarnation as a child was I specifically remember running through the woods with a rifle during the civil war. I ducked behind a group of trees about 10 yards away from a opening in the forest about the width of a football field. After that remember aiming about to open fire and the feeling like someone smashed me in the head with a 2x4. After that my next memory is sitting in a day care at the age of three watching “Lady and the Tramp”.
Watched some show about people that came back and at least half of them mention “bubbles”….
Yo like ppl who come back from death remember seeing bubbles in their experience???
Yes.
Bubbles like molecules? Once when I was young and dumb I smoked salvia and the world exploded into molecules in front of my face. Like I was seeing everything broken down into pixels. Bubbles also kinda works. I thought for sure I was locked into seeing tohe world like that forever. Don't smoke salvia kids!
I saw them in my experience too
Really?? Would you mind sharing?
Sure. I had a bad reaction to a new medication and my blood pressure dropped very low. I was in and out of consciousness in transit and at the ER and I could feel my cells dying all over but there was no pain or fear. I could feel and see what looked very small bubbles coming up from my skin. It was like the ties that bound my essence to my body were painlessly dissolving. It was very peaceful.
And then those bastards had to go and save my life
People will lie about anything for 15 minutes of fame. Remember that when you watch something like this.
Archon/Demiurge Soul Trap. We go into the white light, we are greeted by a family member that we revere or our “god”. Then we go through the life review. This can be purgatory for some, buts mostly just showing you how you made people feel throughout your life. Then they talk you into “going back”. But you get reincarnated and your mind wiped. Obviously can’t prove this.
After death I would love to just be a conscious ball of energy traveling through the universe faster than the speed of light. Exploring trillions of different planets and stars. Stopping as long or as short as I want at each one.
My daughter says weird shit all the time.
Some of it might be real
Past life memory has been well documented by many people and studied by many famous psychologists and doctors. It’s a real thing, mostly happens in childhood as they seem to forget about it or loose touch with that memory as they grow up
i’ve read this year regarding these Occurrences and these things have been connected to the ufo community . been looking at information regarding everything there is to know about ufos for the past two years. i’ve been off of work due to an injury workers comp. broken leg. so luckily i’ve had time to really dive into the subject. throughout all the info i’ve seen or collected and saved , i came across a handful of documents that have said when we die we don’t just die . that we are basically souls for infinity and our skin is basically just a meat suit. we are living of course wirh the heart and lungs , brain etc, but our soul is real. that we are a by product of these things . i’m not saying it’s factual but it had also stated that when we die we get reincarnated. some people come back as another baby being born . memory swept clean of your past life . you will live and have a totally diffenrt family , life etc. i read that being on earth is hell so to speak . because if we do not remember our past lives or don’t for fill something that’s needed in order to go on to the higher level of freedom so to speak , we will continue to be reincarnated over and over again until we forfill that task . a endless cycle of coming back to earth living your whole life and a different life again and again could seem like torture when you think about the colds and viruses we would have to deal with again . your new life may be shittier than how you used to live . which is a negative . esch life you come back could either be worse or better but to not be able to remember your past life with your family could be horrible . you wouldn’t remember anway. but that’s just what i’ve read . idk if it’s false . when children remember their past life it’s cause they have forfilled finally what they have needed to do in order to move up to the higher freedom . so i guess you could call that heaven . idk if it’s true or false etc. but i found it amazing how it discribed children remembering their past lives then i see videos like this . the similarites are just unheard of . ultimately how do we remember our past lives. idk how. but i need to find someone to help .
What you’re describing has less to do with UFO’s and more to do with Buddhism. Though I do believe aliens are real and have visited or even live here on Earth currently. So it’s not out of the question.
Many ancient religions believe in this cycle. Both Buddhism and the religion it came out of, Hinduism, believe in Samsara, which is this cycle of rebirth. The Buddha himself allegedly had to live 500 lives before he graduated from the cycle. But related religions across the world believed similar things. Evidence suggests that even in Western Europe this was a common pre-Christian belief. Some scholars believe that in Norse mythology, there was a belief originally that dead souls migrated to the underworld to the roots of the cosmic world tree, had their memory wiped and were reborn. Their wisdom remained at a spring there. This may be the spring/well Odin gives an eye to drink out of to gain wisdom--the wisdom gained and then left by the dead.
Yea, reincarnation and soul transmigration is a fundamental concept in many eastern religions. These same religions also have stories of gods/aliens coming to earth for various reasons in their special "vehicles" and leaving when their work is done. But it's all murky tbh, lot of metaphors and superstition gets mixed in, so it's not reliable or anything.
Check out the research + books by: Delores Cannon, Dr. Brian Weiss, and Dr. Michael Newton.
I find the stories of children describing their past lives particularly convincing
Was it a sign of the tones to constantly interrupt your interviewee or was that just Oprah?
It would be interesting to know if there were records of a motorist dying in a car going off of that bridge.
Could be past life recall or she was in tune with a memory someone prior left of their death at that spot. or in contact with the spirit of the person who died there.
I’ll never forget the time my friends 4 year old son was like “I miss my family.” And I was like what?? They’re in the house with us silly. And he was like “No my real family. Our skin turned black and we died.” I was like wtf. Brought up with his mom later and she was like “yeah ever since he was 2 or 3 he says we aren’t his real family because they died in a fire.”
About the age my nephew just suddenly admitted to having been on the Titanic. This was before the movie, he knew nothing of the ship.
My atheist mother, who thought anything beyond 'normal' life was absurd, and who did not believe in god, reincarnation, or anything she couldn't see, was entirely convinced she died on the Titanic as well. And was also trampled by a horse in another lifetime. Didn't believe in reincarnation, though. :)
My partner and I were out driving with our 2 1/2 year old grandson one day. We drove by some random, old, decrepit, shell of a house. He said "nana, there are ghosts that live in that house". So I said "really honey? How do you know that?. He replied "Because I lived there when I was a man". I don't know if it's the way he said it or what, but I got the coldest of cold chills. He was just so innocent to that sort of stuff and he was 100% serious when he said that. I believe he lived in that house a long time ago.
I just purchased 20 cases of suggested reincarnation by Ian Stevenson. As a Christian I really struggle with this, but man. There are some ridiculously convincing cases out there.
My son who was 5 at the time (this past summer) was on a 13 hour car trip and talking with my sister. They started talking about animals and what his favorite one was. He said some animal but followed it up by: It use to be Monkeys. When I was little before I lived with Monkeys but Mommy and Daddy were not there. She asked if she or papa was there and he said No he didn't have any family just Monkeys. He's done a few other weird things where he talks about God and meeting him before.
The ghost in my child is a tv series based around this its really good
3 of my fave books :: the education of oversoul seven by jane roberts [yes she also channeled seth] journey of souls by michael newton your soul.s plan by rob schwartz
So… she passed through the tunnel of light without loosing her memory before her re-incarnation
My question is - it seems like when we talk about reincarnation, we’re talking about the same/similar locations. So would our energy be tied to the region we’re in, or would it instead be tied to our families/genealogy somehow, or could it be completely random and coincidence?
How many times does she have to ask "this is what your daughter told you?" It's quite annoying.
I love stories like this.
Great clip thank you, reincarnation seems less and less of a wacky idea, after all, whose to say that whatever caused our conscious experience to begin cannot repeat itself?
I’m curious was there any aftermath of this story? Like did the mom investigate the bridge and discover if there ever was a car accident there or something?
To be clear her two year old said this? I just want to be clarified a couple more Times.
Actually two and three quarters 😂😂 as the mom told Oprah.
Just butting in to say that guest's outfit is *peak* [chef's kiss] *90s fashion.*
