A Quote by Daniel Pinchbeck on daniel pinchbeck, 2012, ian stevenson, reincarnation, and past lives

Ian Stevenson … spent 40 years studying young children who spontaneously recall past lives, compiling data from over 2,600 case studies in his massive book, Reincarnation and Biology: A Contribution to the Etiology of Birthmarks and Birth Defects.  He has found numerous incidences in which children recall specific details of their past life, and has documented, in some instances, startling physiological evidence – birthmarks and birth defects – that seem to carry over from their former existence.  In a number of cases, especially ones in which the past life ended in violent death, Stevenson has found, and photographed, highly unusual birthmarks on the children that perfectly match the placement of the mortal wounds that ended their remembered past life.

The recollection usually commences at a very young age – between two and four – and ends within the next five years.  Stevenson has accompanied some of these children to meet the families, corroborating their specific memories.  “The birthmarks and birth defects in these cases do not lend themselves easily to explanations other than reincarnation,” he notes.  In the cases he has studied, the average period between death and rebirth is fifteen months.

My friend Erica has three or four birth marks all on her left side.
She often has a dream where she is running, then suddenly something explodes and
shrap metal hits each of her birthmarks.
I've always told her that it is likely that those birthmarks may
be the places that she was hurt that ended her previouis life.
It's nice to know that someone other than me thinks this..

Although, I am curious, how about those who don't have birthmarks??
I have had psychics tell me of my past lives, they've never mentioned how I passed
in the previous lives, but sometimes I feel that I was shot. I'm not going to go into detail why
I feel or think this way, ha, it would be too long of an explanation.
