News and personal musings regarding past lives and reincarnation. I'm also very interested in Foreign Accent Syndrome, Child Prodigies, and Xenoglossy in regards to past lives.
Amelia Earhart Completes Around the World Flight
I remember when this happened. The young woman whose name is, in fact, "Amelia Earhart" and looks compellingly like her (though they aren't related) successfully completed the much older woman's flight which ended tragically in the 1930's. Not that this has anything to do with reincarnation, but things like this make me wonder ...

Is There Life After Death? moderated by John Cleese
Anything that's moderated by John Cleese is worth watching! :)
Concerning "NDE's" (near-death-experiences): I have heard a couple accounts in person. One was from a lady I was in a college play with. She was stung by a bee as a child, and being allergic to bees, she actually died and had to be revived, but she reported that she left her body and described being able to travel freely. I knew this lady personally and she was just about the nicest lady you can imagine, very well grounded, not at all the kind of person to lie to get attention (unlike some theatre people I know ...). Another was from a guy who gave a small talk at seminar. He was gravely wounded as a soldier in Vietnam and seemed a very down-to-earth individual. He gave another exceptionally detailed account of what happened while everyone presumed he was dead. I myself remember attending my own funeral in a past life. So when I see BS on the news by proven liars like Brian Williams and Elizabeth Warren, and compare them with my own experience and the quiet stories from people who have nothing to gain ... I know who I'd rather listen to.

Ian Stevenson’s Case for the Afterlife: Are We ‘Skeptics’ Really Just Cynics?
[this is from an article published in Scientific American in 2013 by Jesse Bering]
If you’re anything like me, with eyes that roll over to the back of your head whenever you hear words like “reincarnation” or “parapsychology,” if you suffer great paroxysms of despair for human intelligence whenever you catch a glimpse of that dandelion-colored cover of Heaven Is For Real or other such books, and become angry when hearing about an overly Botoxed charlatan telling a poor grieving mother how her daughter’s spirit is standing behind her, then keep reading, because you’re precisely the type of person who should be aware of the late Professor Ian Stevenson’s research on children’s memories of previous lives.[read more here]
People who identify with races and cultures other than their own
There are many cases of people who identify with cultures they don't have any "biological" connection to. "Iron Eyes" Cody, the Italian-American actor who portrayed Native Americans all his life (and insisted he was one) is an example that immediately springs to mind. More recently, there's the puzzling story of Rachel Dolezal. Dolezal was a NAACP leader whose white parents say she misrepresented her identity by masquerading as a black woman. Dolezal told the “Today” show that, despite the criticisms, she identifies as black. She ended up writing a book about it. You have to wonder where stuff like this comes from. Could reincarnation explain it? I think it does. Here's another interesting case: White boy dreams of being a Zulu sangoma
Here's a video that reminds me that we're all connected, regardless of what color we are. Spirit is deeper than what lies on the surface. Johnny Clegg And Savuka - Scatterlings Of Africa (1987):
Reincarnation | At Home with Jenny Cockell
I remember seeing this lady a long time ago, like in the '80's or something, on a show like "That's Incredible!" or "Unsolved Mysteries." I'm amazed she's still alive, frankly, she still looks to be in great health! Anyway, I was deeply moved by her story, because she strongly remembered a past life where she was taken much too quickly from her many children. In this current life she became obsessed with finding them and making sure they were okay. I'll never forget the interview with one of her Irish-born sons. He was an very old man at the time and he said Ms. Cockell and his mother had the same eyes. He looked at the interviewer and acknowledged that he believed she was really his mother even though he was a Roman Catholic. Anyway, Ms. Cockell wrote a book about this, which I'll have to get around to reading sometime.
