Jim Tucker || The Science of Reincarnation

Today we welcome Dr. Jim Tucker who is a child psychiatrist and the Bonner-Lowry Professor of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia. He is Director of the UVA Division of Perceptual Studies, where he is continuing the work of Dr. Ian Stevenson on reincarnation. He has been invited to speak about his research on Good Morning America, Larry King Live, and CBS Sunday Morning. He recently published BEFORE: Children's Memories of Previous Lives, a 2-in-1 edition of his previous books.
In this episode, I talk to Dr. Jim Tucker about the science of reincarnation. We delve into his research findings and methodology on children who claim to remember their previous lives. Dr. Tucker notes that these children don’t just recall biographical details of their past, but they also retain feelings and emotions. His findings have important implications for how we understand consciousness. We also touch on the topics of mortality, trauma, quantum physics, and panpsychism.

I’m Buddhist. The closest family and friends around me are Muslim and Christians, Catholic. I knew when my daughter was born that if I dared to mention anything regarding my daughters past life, it would be dismissed by my family. So when my daughter began to speak about her past, without ANY PROMOTING from me, I kept it quiet, made some notes in my diary. It first began when she was three. We were sitting in a taxi. She suddenly turned to me and said, “I like you better than my last mummy”. I was shocked, it was such a strange thing to say, in that manner too.

If the concept of an eternally inflating multiverse is correct, then sooner or later an exact copy of yourself will randomly be created from scratch and will be realised in some future bubble universe with it's own big bang somewhere else in the eternally inflating multiverse. Also, if the concept of an eternally inflating multiverse is correct, then over the course of eternity your exact life you have lived so far and every other possible variation of your life will ultimately by lived an infinite number of times by other exact copies of you. In conclusion, life after (your) death does NOT exist because there is nowhere for the soul to go after you die and there is no way for the information stored in your brain to persist after you die. .

I grow to dislike the Abrahamic faiths more and more, I was raised evangelical Christian and I left at 19 and considered myself agnostic. Now learning more I actually thing some form of reincarnation exist just as the Dharmic faiths say, I don't follow any particular still but I hope some things karma(so those who have done bad are judged) and reincarnation exists. It always saddened me as a kid that all non believers of Jesus will just suffer forever, all because they chose the wrong theological beleifs. How is that justice? I love hearing from anyone who follows dharmic religions wether it's Buddhism, Sanatana Dharma, doesn't matter to me honestly I like their teachings from what I have learned. But if you have advice I'd love to hear it. My family is still all devote Christian and we have such different views its so hard for us to reconcile. I'm in my 30s now and we rarely talk, to them I'm a sinning nonbeliever, I don't want it to be like this.

They were the Very Beginning g of my Spiritual Journey.

When my son was about four he was playing on the floor and almost absentmindedly said, “I’m so happy God gave you to me.” Well, I smiled and gently corrected him, saying, “I think you mean God gave YOU to ME.” He put his toy down, looked at me in an irritated way, and said, “No- when I was just a twinkle in God’s eye, I looked at all the mommies in the world and picked you. God gave YOU to ME.” We are obviously a religious family, so the language he used isn’t a surprise. What’s surprising is how sure he was of the order of events. He spoke to me like like I was an idiot who couldn’t grasp the most basic concept. He went back to playing with his toys and I just sat there in stunned silence.

[@DDGLJ]

@@charliesmith3832 Your overarching theory about the existence of an infinite number of universes is untestable, thus irrefutable- and implausible since it would require an infinite amount of mass, energy and time. Because of these problems, it's no more scientific than saying God made everything just the way it is- in fact, it's considerably less logical and internally coherent than the theological construct. Further, the existence of a multiverse within each universe (including this one) is a common misconception. The multiverse concept is just a thought experiment of infinite possibilities- they don’t all actually exist. They’re just probabilistic states. Potential matter collapses into a single entity once the “decision” is made to choose one path or another, and all the other possibilities are gone. Because these probabilistic states have to be collapsed for things to exist, something has to pin them down in space and time. The famous double-slit experiments (especially the delayed-choice quantum eraser) demonstrate that this thing is information, or knowledge. And the only thing capable of knowledge is a mind. So you have it backwards. The physical world does not produce consciousness. Consciousness determines the state of the physical world. Even Einstein had trouble with the implications of this concept- see his statement about whether the moon exists. WHOSE consciousness is pinning down the universe to its current state, is really the big question. A bunch of little minds, like ours? Or one big enough that it can make sure the moon, and everything else, really is still there even if you"re not looking at it?

[@SchizoCrankyCrafter]

So glad to have found your podcast, Scott. Very happy you are open to go where many psychologists fear to tread… I am a 63 year old woman on a journey… At 4 years old I had a brain injury. Around that time, I began having a dream about a past life. Even as a child I knew this ‘was me’ and when told it was just my imagination, I didn’t argue, I just carried this memory throughout my life, knowing it was my truth. Over the years, puzzle pieces have fallen into place. Recently, while attempting to get a diagnosis after self-diagnosing as an adult woman with ASD, (you know, the whole masking thing) I was instead diagnosed Schizotypal. Never even heard of it. But after going down a rabbit hole researching this (yes, it checks out) I believe I am on the high-end (creative) and that the ideas constantly flooding me since my earliest memories, well, when it comes to people like me, are just part of the deal. I do believe you all call it flow… I will continue seeking the ASD (comorbidity component) Both sides of my family are creatives… I was lucky to have had a great-uncle (inventor) who, when I started to struggle at around 14, sat me down and schooled me as to what was happening to me. He was known by the family as a lovable kook. Kook, my a$$… He was a big believer in Edgar Casey. Slept with his head pointing east. Could Astro-project and so on… He said I was like him and was tapping (can’t find that word in Google) Basically, we are able to recieve ( pick up on) things from the Universal mind (flow)… If not for him, I’m sure my life would have been so much worse than it was. And it was no picnic. Luckily, inside my head, the weather has always been fine… Epiphanies are my jam, lol… Anyway- the memory of my past life has never faded. I believe I lived in Essex, England in the early 1900’s (1910). Specifcally, the South Downs. I was very depressed and committed suicide (large birthmark behind my left ear) I am incidentally left handed… I was born in Spokane Washington, but I had a grandmother who moved from England to the US in her twenties… Sorry for the rant. Must be the Schizotypal in me…

I have a lot to say about life after death and the universe and that is why I have broken it up into 3 parts. Part 1/3 I will explain to tell you the truth about reincarnation and the universe. Cosmic inflation is where our universe expanded so rapidly for a very brief moment of time at the big bang. Inflation only ended in our part of space (our bubble universe) while other regions of space are still inflating. Once inflation starts, it never ends producing an infinite number of bubble universes and each bubble universe would have their own big bang event. There are new universes being created all of the time at an ever increasing rate with new universes being created forever. Outside the bubble universe the universe grows forever and is finite at any given time but inside the bubble universe is spatially infinite and is created all at once because the edge of the bubble universe represents the big bang and further inside the bubble represents later times. Our universe is indeed infinite and that means that there is only a finite number of ways matter can arrange itself and with an infinite universe there are an infinite number of exact copies of you, me, the Earth the sun, everything else and our observable universe. In an infinite universe coincidences and matches are guaranteed to happen no matter how unlikely or strange them may seem it is just the particles coming together in all possible ways by random chance. Therefore this does NOT prove reincarnation in the slightest. Other bubble universes might have different laws of physics. Although the inflationary multiverse is eternal into the future, it CAN NOT be eternal into the past, the inflationary multiverse MUST of had a beginning. Part 2/3 I will tell you how our inflationary multiverse may of came from nothing. A zero sized multiverse with a zero sized radius (which is NO space at all and time does NOT exist) can quantum tunnel through a high energy barrier to a finite sized multiverse with a finite sized radius filled with high energy false vacuum and will start to inflate very rapidly, this provides the beginning of the story of eternal inflation. The rate that new bubble universes form increases by a factor of 2 to the power of (10 to the power of 34) every second so insanely fast. Every time you make a decision, you get physically cloned far far away in space who makes the opposite decision and also every time something has happened to you, you get physically cloned far far away in space where the opposite thing happens to them. Part 3/3 I will also tell you about quantum immortality, if you die instantly in this universe, an exact copy of you will survive in another universe. You won't die from your point of view because only your living self can keep your consciousness and soul in existence. However you won't be able to live forever as this only works if there is a binary option die instantly or survive. Quantum immortality would NOT apply to people who die lets say from cancer or old age. But when you do finally die your soul will no longer function and it will go kaput and near death experiences and out of body experiences is just the brain going haywire and hallucinating when it is nearly dead as there is NOT enough oxygen getting to the brain when it is shutting down. This is your only life you will get, so make the MOST OF IT!!!!

[@collinparker2674]

An exact copy of you has an exact copy of your brain, consciousness and soul because the particles that came together to make their brain, consciousness and soul randomly came together in the exact same way that made your brain, consciousness and soul. An exact copy of you is NOT you, but it will think it is you, it is completely compatible with you and it is randomly created from scratch and is also made from the same template or mould as you. When bubble universes form they expand, but the space in between them expands even faster, continuously creating room for more and more bubble universes to form because once inflation starts, it can sustain the production of new bubble universes forever. No soul recycling, it is a soul production line, when your life ends it ends. This inflating material that drove this exponential expansion at the big bang is unstable but it does NOT decay all at once and it decays in regions. Wherever decay takes place, it converts all of it's energy into matter and radiation and is the birth of a new universe and is the big bang of that universe. This inflating material expands faster than it decays and if it expands faster than it decays this leads to a runaway effect and it will never fully decay and it will go on forever. Each bubble universe will have it's very own big bang event and it's subsequent evolution. Our big bang event happened 13.8 billion years ago while other universes may have their big event at this very moment.

His discussion of wounds and birthmarks was personally interesting. As a young child, I had a dream that was notable for several reasons, among them I was killed by a burst of machine gun fire from my right side. It hit me in my lower back and moved up to my neck. Later in my childhood, lumbar and cervical spinal growth abnormalities occurred. I also had a birthmark on my right arm. In the dream, I lost consciousness the instant my face hit the ground. At the same instant, the alarm bell woke me straight from the dream- coincidental or indicative of a broader consciousness? After that, the smell of earth reminded me of death, tho I hadn't ever been a funeral.

31:29 yes... I 110% agree. It is my belief that reincarnation, when the fitting conditions are there.. for example, the past life was cut short too soon (such as an accident), thus creating an un-fufilled purpose, and so the soul feels the need to come back.. ideally within the same family/circumstances.. not only for their familiarity sake, but also to check up on their loved ones. So, if, for example, there is someone who is pregnant in the family at the time of the death, that creates the perfect circumstances to come back.

Might explain why the stories happen in proximity to where an ancestor lived but not happened directly to an ancestor. Also, if we're going to accept the already "crazy" premise of reincarnation, what's to say 4 different kids couldn't have been Babe Ruth?

[@SchizoCrankyCrafter]

I think Buddhism thinks along those lines. Makes sense to me. Our souls are fluid. Why not live in more than one body at the same time. Maybe part of our soul stays in fluid form and learns from watching its earth bound parts. Our perceived guardian angels, could very well be us- reaching out via gut instincts or something.

Not just birth defects but also illness without an obvious cause can be attributed to past lives. The biggest tell tale sign is when they get a past life regression, visit a life that is the source of the illness and the illness gets reduced or completely resolved after the sessions.

To be fair, that is not necessarily evidence of an illness resulting from a previous life. All it proves is that there may be therapeutic value to regression hypnosis. Even Brian Weiss admits that.

@@EsoteriaHealing I have a lot to say about life after death and the universe and that is why I have broken it up into 3 parts. Part 1/3 I will explain to tell you the truth about reincarnation and the universe. Cosmic inflation is where our universe expanded so rapidly for a very brief moment of time at the big bang. Inflation only ended in our part of space (our bubble universe) while other regions of space are still inflating. Once inflation starts, it never ends producing an infinite number of bubble universes and each bubble universe would have their own big bang event. There are new universes being created all of the time at an ever increasing rate with new universes being created forever. Outside the bubble universe the universe grows forever and is finite at any given time but inside the bubble universe is spatially infinite and is created all at once because the edge of the bubble universe represents the big bang and further inside the bubble represents later times. Our universe is indeed infinite and that means that there is only a finite number of ways matter can arrange itself and with an infinite universe there are an infinite number of exact copies of you, me, the Earth the sun, everything else and our observable universe. In an infinite universe coincidences and matches are guaranteed to happen no matter how unlikely or strange them may seem it is just the particles coming together in all possible ways by random chance. Therefore this does NOT prove reincarnation in the slightest. Other bubble universes might have different laws of physics. Although the inflationary multiverse is eternal into the future, it CAN NOT be eternal into the past, the inflationary multiverse MUST of had a beginning. Part 2/3 I will tell you how our inflationary multiverse may of came from nothing. A zero sized multiverse with a zero sized radius (which is NO space at all and time does NOT exist) can quantum tunnel through a high energy barrier to a finite sized multiverse with a finite sized radius filled with high energy false vacuum and will start to inflate very rapidly, this provides the beginning of the story of eternal inflation. The rate that new bubble universes form increases by a factor of 2 to the power of (10 to the power of 34) every second so insanely fast. Every time you make a decision, you get physically cloned far far away in space who makes the opposite decision and also every time something has happened to you, you get physically cloned far far away in space where the opposite thing happens to them. Part 3/3 I will also tell you about quantum immortality, if you die instantly in this universe, an exact copy of you will survive in another universe. You won't die from your point of view because only your living self can keep your consciousness and soul in existence. However you won't be able to live forever as this only works if there is a binary option die instantly or survive. Quantum immortality would NOT apply to people who die lets say from cancer or old age. But when you do finally die your soul will no longer function and it will go kaput and near death experiences and out of body experiences is just the brain going haywire and hallucinating when it is nearly dead as there is NOT enough oxygen getting to the brain when it is shutting down.

Needles to say, I was surprised to know such a phenomenon even existed. These days I am on the fence however as to the legitimacy of such a reality. But at any rate if science were ever to substantially enough prove Reincarnation is real based on technological evidence that would leave little to no doubt Reincarnation does take place in all it's substantiated forms? I'd have to delve into that evidence to finally be convinced such a wonderment is found to be the real deal.

Thank you for your fascinating podcast. I've been interested in, and have read much about NDEs as well as Reincarnation, for years. There are so many possibilities, including genetic memory; psychic ability to sense someone's past life information; perhaps a quantum entanglement sort of situation; children being coached by an adult; etc. Perhaps even a combination of these possibilities. But I do believe reincarnation is an actuality, as are NDEs. So many cultures accept reincarnation as a simple actuality. Years ago, the first child of dear friends, when a toddler, often used to look around say, "all the people, all the people," when nobody was visible. And once, he looked at me and said, "I have to die. I have to die" so very matter of factly, that I must have gotten a shocked look on my face. His dad (a professor) looked at me and said, " I don't know why he said that." So I wondered what he was seeing, or if he was remembering a past life death experience, or was seeing spirits and was precognitive, or what. He did have a couple potential Petit Mal seizures early on, but was treated and grew out of them. He's an M.D. now and I've never asked him about it. I have some Buddhist Monk friends, and their tulku/reincarnation tradition is very strong, a way of life, and death. There are so many things we, as a culture, are unwilling to accept as possible. And just about anything is possible! Dr. Tucker, one of my favorite cases is that of the "Barra Boy." Fascinating. Also, Time Team visited that island some while back, and many very early inhumations and round house remnants were being exposed beneath the sands there due to erosion. It looked like the finds were on the beach your plane landed on! Thank you again.

[@colinjava8447]

I'm not convinced on genetic memories, can't see how that can work, and wouldn't it only give memories of ancestors? Quantum entanglement sounds far fetched too, as surely it would take many particles in the brain in the correct place to be entangled correctly with someone elses brain in the past. Psychic ability sounds more reasonable, but yet it still lacks an explanation. These memories often tend to be associated with traumatic deaths, perhaps that is the place to start looking for answers.

I was neutral on this topic even though I experimented with mysticism but eventually I tried a past life regression, at one point had a terrifying experience of dying in Vietnam and saw the name on the memorial wall and I even have scars from an operation that correlated. I still don’t take it too seriously but I felt and saw it was shaking terrified crying and really felt so sorry but also felt the calm after the fear. Friends have told me that some of my personality traits do seem from that era especially the ones old enough to remember the era. Again I don’t really know what to make of it but I definitely have an even higher empathy for veterans of combat. Even if it’s not something paranormal it still has reminded me of the horror of anger violence and the callousness of war and even personal hatred, and I try to remind myself to do no harm.

Krishna states that He has been giving us our desires from time immemorial. How is it that the spirit soul is trying to enjoy in matter? Is it natural for the living entity to be bound up in matter? Reincarnation is not desirable. Our happiest condition is when we are tasting the loving relationship with the Supreme Soul. Some people miss the basic point that the material body is a source of pain. They think reincarnation is enjoyable. Some surfers can't stand being out of the water. They are developing the mentality of seals and porpoises. When they hear about this, they like this. People think there is some joy in eating and sleeping in a cat's life. Some people kill the body and try to get rid of the miseries in this way. Getting rid of my gross body isn't going to do anything. The solution is to wipe clean material desires. The tongue is a manifestation of the mental desire to taste. Leave the material dimension all behind. This is possible only when you have cleansed the heart and mind of material desires. The human form of life is the only responsible form of life. It is by nature's arrangement that one moves back from an animal form of life to the human form of life. You can get eating, sleeping, mating, and defending in any animal form of life. The human form of life is made for something higher. If we don't use it as a jumping point to get out of the material world, then we have wasted it.

An exact copy of you has an exact copy of your brain, consciousness and soul because the particles that came together to make their brain, consciousness and soul randomly came together in the exact same way that made your brain, consciousness and soul. An exact copy of you is NOT you, but it will think it is you, it is completely compatible with you and it is randomly created from scratch and is also made from the same template or mould as you. When bubble universes form they expand, but the space in between them expands even faster, continuously creating room for more and more bubble universes to form because once inflation starts, it can sustain the production of new bubble universes forever. No soul recycling, it is a soul production line, when your life ends it ends. This inflating material that drove this exponential expansion at the big bang is unstable but it does NOT decay all at once and it decays in regions. Wherever decay takes place, it converts all of it's energy into matter and radiation and is the birth of a new universe and is the big bang of that universe. This inflating material expands faster than it decays and if it expands faster than it decays this leads to a runaway effect and it will never fully decay and it will go on forever. Each bubble universe will have it's very own big bang event and it's subsequent evolution. Our big bang event happened 13.8 billion years ago while other universes may have their big event at this very moment.

Ancestral memories from our DNA

[@cosmichappening1712]

The problem with that theory is that many of those who recall dying due to receiving a traumatic injury or wound to the body from a knife or spear for example in a past life, carry the psychic imprint of that traumatic injury or wound into their current life in the form of birthmarks at the exact site of the injury or wound sustained in that past life.

[@martabartosiak467]

How would you remember your ancestor's previous death though? If you carried the memories in DNA only, it would only be up to a certain point - the point when a new baby (new generation) was conceived. You would not have the memories from your ancestor's later life (after the conception) up until their death I guess. I am also not a firm believer in reincarnation, but I think that ancestral memory theory does not give the full answer to some cases.

It is the inalienable right of every human being to be able to recall memories from their past lives. In this way they are able to carry knowledge attained in those past lives into subsequent lives that they then don't need to relearn and can call on that knowledge virtually from the day they are born into those subsequent lives. In this way their knowledge increases exponentially with every life-time. This also enables them to avoid repeating the same mistakes from those past lives and thus avoid being trapped in the wheel of karma lifetime after lifetime, as most humans here on Earth are experiencing, for unfortunately, the planet has been hijacked for some time now by the "hidden" forces of darkness who have the knowledge and technology to suppress our memories upon the death of our physical bodies and recycle our souls into new bodies here on Earth lifetime after lifetime so that they can continue to "play gods" and "feed off" our "psychic energy" aka "Life force" aka "Loosh".

[@warpedweft9004]

I wouldn't call it a right. Some people are more in tune with their soul than others and therefore are able to recall more than others, but it is rare to remember other lives while in this life. The whole point of incarnation is to experience and learn. If you knew about all your past lives, it would change how you see and act in this life and you wouldn't learn the needed lessons completely. The whole purpose of incarnation as I see it is the experience and how you deal with it. If you diminish that experience that in some way, then you diminish the lessons learned, which could mean incarnating again to learn that same lesson fully. Some things a soul does remember, and I believe that is things like natural ability come from those remembered lessons. Often the lessons to be learned in life are dependent on the early learning of a child. Could you imagine how weird it would be if everyone knew their past lives and came back remembering absolutely everything? what if you were a cruel person in a past life and your lesson was to learn compassion. How could you live with the fact that you'd committed these atrocities in a past life? The human brain can only take so much without it being affected.

Hmm… I tend to learn from my mistakes. I don’t think I get punished for choices I’ve made. Karma, yes… Maybe if one does, intentionally bad, or things hurtful over and over in a life, they have to be helped to see the mistakes, maybe having to relive them through review, feeling what the victims felt. That would be hellish, I would think. But, I don’t believe this is an everlasting place. More like a time out, until you see your mistakes. Of course, if one somehow goes permanently down a dark road, there might be other things that happen. Lots of questions to seek out answers for. If you want to know things from past lives, you could always go the past life regression route.

I have a lot to say about life after death and the universe and that is why I have broken it up into 3 parts. Part 1/3 I will explain to tell you the truth about reincarnation and the universe. Cosmic inflation is where our universe expanded so rapidly for a very brief moment of time at the big bang. Inflation only ended in our part of space (our bubble universe) while other regions of space are still inflating. Once inflation starts, it never ends producing an infinite number of bubble universes and each bubble universe would have their own big bang event. There are new universes being created all of the time at an ever increasing rate with new universes being created forever. Outside the bubble universe the universe grows forever and is finite at any given time but inside the bubble universe is spatially infinite and is created all at once because the edge of the bubble universe represents the big bang and further inside the bubble represents later times. Our universe is indeed infinite and that means that there is only a finite number of ways matter can arrange itself and with an infinite universe there are an infinite number of exact copies of you, me, the Earth the sun, everything else and our observable universe. In an infinite universe coincidences and matches are guaranteed to happen no matter how unlikely or strange them may seem it is just the particles coming together in all possible ways by random chance. Therefore this does NOT prove reincarnation in the slightest. Other bubble universes might have different laws of physics. Although the inflationary multiverse is eternal into the future, it CAN NOT be eternal into the past, the inflationary multiverse MUST of had a beginning. Part 2/3 I will tell you how our inflationary multiverse may of came from nothing. A zero sized multiverse with a zero sized radius (which is NO space at all and time does NOT exist) can quantum tunnel through a high energy barrier to a finite sized multiverse with a finite sized radius filled with high energy false vacuum and will start to inflate very rapidly, this provides the beginning of the story of eternal inflation. The rate that new bubble universes form increases by a factor of 2 to the power of (10 to the power of 34) every second so insanely fast. Every time you make a decision, you get physically cloned far far away in space who makes the opposite decision and also every time something has happened to you, you get physically cloned far far away in space where the opposite thing happens to them. Part 3/3 I will also tell you about quantum immortality, if you die instantly in this universe, an exact copy of you will survive in another universe. You won't die from your point of view because only your living self can keep your consciousness and soul in existence. However you won't be able to live forever as this only works if there is a binary option die instantly or survive. Quantum immortality would NOT apply to people who die lets say from cancer or old age. But when you do finally die your soul will no longer function and it will go kaput and near death experiences and out of body experiences is just the brain going haywire and hallucinating when it is nearly dead as there is NOT enough oxygen getting to the brain when it is shutting down. This is your only life you will get, so make the MOST OF IT!!!!

Curious: is there ever a fully matured soul in a child?

[@warpedweft9004]

not sure whether you mean a soul that has had many incarnations and is therefore mature or if you mean a soul that is more like an adult? The bottom line is that when a soul enters a body there is amnesia so even if they were "adult" they wouldn't know, just like most of us don't know about our soul's status due to this amnesia. If you mean that the actual soul has matured through having learned the necessary lessons, from what I understand, they are less likely to incarnate. The purpose of incarnation is to learn the lessons needed to mature, so if they were mature and had learned all the necessary lessons, they wouldn't need to incarnate. However, groups of souls do help each other, so I suppose a mature soul might incarnate for the purpose of assisting another incarnated soul to experience what they need to and have the chance to learn the lessons they have chosen to learn in this life, noting that we still have free will so whether we actually learn that lesson or not is still up to us and our actions. Michael Newton's book, the Journey of Souls explains a lot of this and is worth a read if you are interested in soul development and reincarnation.

[@warpedweft9004]

@@jamespalmer2579 to be honest, I think that is beyond the realm of probability. I think we do reincarnate and what we learned in previous lives comes with us in some way, but we do have lessons to learn so we won't come back exactly as we are now. If your theory was right then people who have suffered mentally in this life face an eternity of that. I've heard that explanation of NDEs before, but I don't agree with it. I'm not going to go into detail as to why and let you loose on trying to demolish it, but suffice it to say that scientists only think this is a possibility. They can't prove it any more than anyone with an NDE can prove their side of the story. At the end of the day, if it is a hallucination, at that point we aren't going to know any different, so why disillusion people?

[@warpedweft9004]

From what I understand, you are not compelled to reincarnate. Souls choose to do so and to whom they are born, as welk as the circumstances and the conditions of this life. They also choose what they want to experience in this life. However, if you choose not to incarnate again, then your soul won't learn the necessary lessons it needs to mature. Once it has matured, it will not need to keep incarnating. Most of us here on Earth are physically and mentally exhausted by our present incarnation. As souls we are given plenty of "time" to rest, reflect and decide on our next incarnation. No one is forced to incarnate if they are not ready. The choice as to when, where and under what circumstances you incarnate or even whether you incarnate, is ultimately yours. The chances are you've incarnated before and have gone through that rest, reflection and renewal process before, but still chose to incarnate into this life for whatever reason. It's not really helpful to try and think or decide now, in a human incarnation battered by the human life you are currently experiencing, about whether to incarnate again or not, nor is it actually possible to do so.

Salvation is not attained by self-effort as one Hindu Mystic stated. One does not achieve spiritual perfection through a series of incarnations. God wanted man to dominate the earth not escape it by cosmic consciousness, leading to a union with God without Jesus. - John 14: 6. If that were so there would be no resurrection of the dead and no second appearance of Jesus Christ - 2 Corinthians 15: 52. When Jesus rules in the Millennial reign the righteous that rule with him are not recycled souls, but original resurrected and glorified bodies - Revelation 20. There is regressive hypnosis, a technique enabling others to recall memories in early infancy; in the womb and remember past lives. The term for it is retrocognition. The evidence here is seeming scientifically tenable, but contradictory in many respects to Jesus' true teachings. Satan is so subtle that he can deceive the very elect and the very intellectual!!! There is evidence that reincarnation is the work of deceptive of impersonating spirits. There is incontrovertible evidence to support what Jesus said: "After death then the Judgement." - Hebrew 9: 27. The false prophet Edgar Cacye was able to diagnose illnesses and treatments in a hypnotic trance. He was a great proponent of reincarnation and gave past life readings to many. He used limited medical truths to deceive and destroy many. Even the Bible says of the antichrist: " by peace he shall destroy many." From my studies in Christian Out-of-Body experiences and Near-Death Experiences, every person that dies goes to Heaven or hell. If people are either secure in Heaven or locked in hell for all eternity, how can they keep on reincarnating? There are books on the topic "Divine Revelation of Heaven" and "Divine Revelation of Hell" both by Mary Baxter. Another is "Beyond Heavens Door" by Dr. David Rawlings. There is also another by H.A Baker called Heaven and the Angels which give a person a glimpse of heaven. Finally there is one called "23 Minutes in Hell by Bill Weise. I do this because I believe that you should have an alternative view. I accept the biblical world view. Again, reincarnationists do not believe in hell. However, Jesus talks about hell and it is mentioned 54 times in the King James version of the Bible. The reincarnationists are deceived because in five of the major world religions, there is a concept of hell if you look deeply!! Enlightened Buddhists monks would concede that hell is real. The Buddhists know Satan as "Yama" or "King of Hell." In Hindu literature the concept of Hell exists: " It is believed that people who commit sins go to Hell and have to go through punishments in accordance with the sins they committed. The god Yamarâja, who is also the god of death, presides over Hell. Detailed accounts of all the sins committed by an individual are kept by Chitragupta, who is the record keeper in Yama's court. Chitragupta reads out the sins committed and Yama orders appropriate punishments to be given to individuals. These punishments include dipping in boiling oil, burning in fire, torture using various weapons"(From Wikipedia). There is no such Hindu principle as Kharma - cause and effect in reincarnation. There is only salvation through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ. Kharma presupposes an absence of God and salvation through self-effort. This is the height of Satanic deception. Jesus saves. If reincarnation was possible, how can you explain the billions of souls being added to earth population through the centuries. How is this possible if countless millions of souls are already locked in hell? The answer is that these souls never reincarnated but were created directly by God Himself. Jesus talks of His kingdom where there will be no death and no need for reincarnation we will live for eternity. Resurrection and the Rapture not reincarnation. 6132

Quantum immortality would NOT apply to people who die lets say from cancer or old age. But when you do finally die your soul will no longer function and it will go kaput and near death experiences and out of body experiences is just the brain going haywire and hallucinating when it is nearly dead as there is NOT enough oxygen getting to the brain when it is shutting down. This is your only life you will get, so make the MOST OF IT!!!!

@@collinparker2674 once again, given all of this explanation (which is not the truth since we have no evidence), there are proofs of people proving that they were conscious after dying and then came back i.e. NDE and there are proofs of reincarnation. So which one would someone experiencing and working with it believe?

[@benji-5796]

I don’t think any of this is evidence. They cannot identify the people claimed. The parents I believe have a huge influence

[@tomatoversace3427]

this is simply not true. read the research, many are named

[@benji-5796]

@@tomatoversace3427 yeah and they are clearly influenced by the parents. Like the child who said he was a war pilot. They took him to the museum since a child and he loved planes. Such weak evidence shown from this it cannot even be classed as any.

what is pseudo science? Theories you personally don't want to believe in? "science" measures only what the human can perceive and understand. It can't measure what humans are unable to perceive or understand.
