Past Lives Reincarnation Regression; Why Remembering Is So
Important?
According to the Hindu religious scriptures, the soul is
indestructible and it merely changes its form or
body the way a human being changes his clothes after they have
outlived their useful years.
Christianity has a very different viewpoint of reincarnation,
focusing on Christ's resurrection instead.
According to the theories of Hindus a person's birth is totally
dependent upon the karma or deeds he
has performed in his previous life. Based on his deeds he will
face rebirth in the future as a man,
woman, or even an animal.
Several scriptures and the Hindu religion talk about past lives
reincarnation extensively. Notably, a major
one of these is the Bhrigu Sanhit, which apparently had an
accounting of the future and past lives for all
living souls. This scripture has been lost over the centuries,
however.
The most important modern day account of rebirth is the
collection of data by Dr, Ian Stevenson.
Modern science still frowns on these claims of rebirth. Thus it
cannot be stated that it is the most well
accepted source of scientific information based on the theory;
but still now it is the most popular and
well documented because Dr. Stevenson was a psychiatrist along
with a degree in medicine.
Dr. Stevenson didn't put his patients under trance or induce
hypnosis, as many past life regression
therapists now do. Instead, he simply talked to children who had
spontaneous recollections of incidentsthat had happened in their
past lives.
Most noted and perplexing among these cases was that of a small
child, a boy, six years old, from a small
village in Punjab. This child claimed that he had been a man
named Satnam Singh.
This young boy had never been to what he said was the man's home
village of Chakkchela and had never
lived there, even though he could describe the place with
amazing.
The family was nonplussed by this, and tried to dissuade the boy
from saying such things, but the boy
continued to insist that he was Satnam and even told people what
the man's father's name had been.The boy described his death by
saying that he had been killed in a motorcycle accident as he was
coming
home from school.
Later investigations revealed that these facts were infact true.
Someone called Satnam Singh had lived in
that village. The manner of his death was also exactly as he had
described it. But the most surprising
event came when the boys handwriting matched that of Satnam
singh.

Another popular account from Stevenson's collection about past
lives reincarnation came from a young
girl named Swarnalata. This little girl was just three years
old, but nonetheless, she could recall her life
as a young woman named Biya Pathak very vividly.
She could vividly described the house that she lived in. In
fact, when she and her father were traveling
one day, she led her father directly to the property and even
said that she had lived in the area; further,
she said that they could get a better cup of tea in that house
than they could on the road.
The most vital point came when the child recognized Biya's
brother and called him by his pet name from
a crowd of 9 people.
There are dozens of such cases listed in the documents by
Dr.stevenson. He also states that further
proof of reincarnation may be birthmarks which some people have.
These are said to be from accidents
or fatal injuries they received in a previous life.
This was indeed borne out in one of his cases on a man from
Thailand, who recalled that he was in fact
his own deceased maternal uncle, reincarnated. This man had a
scar on his head that matched the
location where his maternal uncle had been wounded with a knife
and had died as a result.
Another child claimed that he had been a man named MahaRam, who
had been killed by close range
shots to the chest area. And in fact, the child had birthmarks
on his chest that looked like they could
have been bullet wound scars.
The "father" of modern past life regression, Dr. Brian Weiss,
supports the concept of rebirth as a
plausible one, and so do many other prominent authorities in the
field of psychology and psychiatry.
Even so, science itself remains very skeptical about the concept
of past life rebirth.
Nonetheless, it's also worth noting that when many people
undergo a few sessions of past life
regression therapy, they experience the sudden disappearance of
phobias and fears they've had their
entire lives.
