There are a lot of inexplicable stories; but I don’t buy the idea that they ‘must’ be evidence of actual reincarnation as it’s commonly understood. There are other possible explanations.
If, at the source, everything is ‘One’, people could simply have a connection to or ‘memories’ of something in the past for which they somehow have an affinity. It doesn’t necessarily mean that they actually individualized as that life. Maybe it just indicates that we are all “living all lives”, on some level; that God is living all these lives.
It has always amused me that most people who fervently accept the concept of an everlasting, immortal soul are just as fervently OPPOSED to the possibility that said immortal soul could be re-assigned a subsequent gig by a God through whom all things are possible... not that I’m in a big hurry to verify it... :)
“There are other possible explanations.”
Sure. How about demons? If there are immortal, disembodied spirits hanging around this planet for as long as we have been here (or longer), they will have been able to observe the details of many human lives, and if they can influence the living, then they could pass those details on to us to create all sorts of delusions.
“Maybe it just indicates that we are all “living all lives”, on some level; that God is living all these lives.”
Interesting.
It could be except for the fact that there was no way for my said person to know of the info said person remembered.
If you think about what I am saying and who would shut down a study and who might be hidden behind said studies through the years you can get my point. The whole study wasn’t shut down..just the study on said individual.
But...perhaps there is a logical way said person knew these things. I want to be clear to anyone reading...I was NEVER told the details but they were specific things. Not general affinity for a particular subject.
I am a huge skeptic of everything and always want some kind of proof. This story leads me to think reincarnation may be possible
