It sounds totally beyond belief. But read the tantalising evidence from this boy's family and you may start to wonder...
The agonised screams pierced the air. 'Plane on fire! Airplane crash.' In the dark, a two-year-old boy was just visible, writhing on his bed in the grip of horror. 'He was lying there on his back, kicking and clawing at the covers like he was trying to kick his way out of a coffin,' remembers the boy's father.
'I thought, this looks like The Exorcist. I half expected his head to spin around like that little girl in the movie. But then I heard what James was saying.'
Over and over again, the tiny child screamed: 'Plane on fire! Little man can't get out.'
For his shocked parents, these nightly scenes were traumatic.
For experts, they were baffling.
As the nightmares became more terrifying, the child started screaming the name of the 'little man' who couldn't get out of the plane. It was James - like his own name. He also talked in his dreams of 'Jack Larsen', 'Natoma' and 'Corsair'.
James Leininger's father, Bruce, was flummoxed. In a desperate attempt to find an answer to his son's troubled nights, he embarked on an obsessive three-year research project, armed only with the outbursts and names his son had been shouting in his disturbed sleep.
What he discovered astonished and perplexed him, and drove him to an extraordinary conclusion.
A lifelong Christian, it was not the answer he had sought for his son's behaviour. But he came to believe James was the reincarnation of a World War II fighter pilot; a man who had been shot down in his plane and struggled to escape as it caught fire; a hero.

Please tell me you are just relating that info and that you don’t actually believe it.
I’m sorry, who were you in a previous life?
I can’t remember.
Darn, I was hoping for an interesting story!
Thank you, very interesting. :)
Your welcome!
(I figure my life can always be used as an object lesson)...
It seems to me that God would know that the eggs were to be split, and have as many souls as necessary ready.
Thanks for the ping, Nully. I love this stuff.
Your????
Grrrrrr You’re!
Excellent research, I’m surprisingly flattered. Next time, please use the whold thread response, or provide a link to it. It’s rather disengenuous to just pull quotes out of the past without any reference.
Look, if all you’re left with is research of past threads for subject matter, then I’d say it’s time to stop. Cheers, and see you again.
Oh, I see.
Then try this: Fertilised eggs, fertilised with sperm from another species, essentially forming a hybrid, like, say a human egg and horse sperm, survive upto the blastocyst stage. Does this individual, which is very much alive, have a soul?
There is probably a VERY GOOD reason why I can’t remember!
I thought we were talking about artificial HUMAN embryo separation?
Now you are asking me if Godzilla had a soul?
Hmmm. My dog sure seems to have one.
You gave a “filler” answer to the problem I posed regarding artificially-induced twins.
I gave you a case where that “filler” would not work.
Oh, and by the way, godzolla is imaginary; hybrids surviving upto the blastocyst stage are very, very real.
LOL most of our lives can be, at least parts of them. But now I know where to go with questions. :) I didn’t think anyone ever got out alive.
That must have been a Thetan taking over your keyboard for a moment!
Yes...probably the same reason I can’t! ;)
Well, maybe I misunderstood your question...
Are you asking if life itself must have a soul to exist?
Define life. Define individual. Is an Amoeba an individual?
And you are the one changing the subject. I simply said that God knows whether there will be a single child, twins, or triplets, whether they were made ‘naturally’ or not, and would be prepared to fill those bodies with souls.
I’m not sure why the answer matters if they cannot survive to viable stage.
