Some believe birth marks are clues to injuries and deseased and could have caused possible death in a previous life..like an imprint of sorts.

Does anyone remember or have a story to share about a birth mark?
There are people who suffer from phantom pains which can't be diagnosed by doctors and may pertain to past live injuries.

Damn, don't have the words again. Stupid meat bag language.

A guy is shot in the head and in the next incarnation there's a mark there. What does this show? (I mean what is happening that this would occur, not "it shows he was shot" but HOW does it happen at all?)

The easiest thought is that souls carry that energy from life but apparently have a difficult (impossible?) time to deal with it (at least all of it) on a metaphysical plane so it's baggage stuck to them that then gets dumped into a fetus which creates the birthmarks and such (which begs the question of why would such energy only be fully resolved in the material plane?). In a sense the soul is scarred as is the body and thus the scar transfers to next body ("as above, so below").

Or it could even be like the cylons in the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica in which cylons killed were typically reabsorbed mentally (that is their memories and identities were broadcast out into a new body of the same model essentially allowing for resurrection through mind transfers to clones) yet death was still traumatic, even when it offered an escape, and that could lead them to hate those who had killed them before. In this case dying is very traumatic to the soul (which seems to dispute many NDEs) and so when it reincarnates a bit of that trauma manifests as a "stigmata on the fetus" (which becomes a birthmark or what have you).

Another possibility is that many bodies are already linked though this would be paradoxical to our human minds as it would work outside our simple linear modes of thinking. And thus a traumatic event in one life "vibrates" to the next fetus.

In any case, I'd wonder what the limitations are. We are a very violent species and Mother Nature is an efficient killer as well and all else. And miscarriage is very common. I wonder, if past life trauma can leave physical marks that scar a person (sometimes for life) then could this "incarnating stigmata" be bad enough damage that it causes a miscarriage?

These explanations could result with you driving yourself crazy trying to figure out how you died if it's a matter of healing past life issues. :/

He's never ever said anything about past lives, though he does have a pretty good grasp of the slipperiness of time so....

Many of them eventually find closure and don't dwell on those past lives.

Some are born back into the same families and avoid making the same mistakes they made before.

Vajra I loved your long post above.

The story that got me to really, sincerely believe in reincarnation is the case of James Huston reincarnating as James Leininger. Even the astrological coincidences are phenomenal (stellium opposing stellium in synastry; same exact mean NN.) Short Video

However, there are no phantom pains or birth marks in that case.

I went through a phase in my teens where I was extremely sensitive to anything touching my neck. It made no sense, and I got wondering if I had been hanged in a past life. Perhaps it was foreshadowing my brother having cancer in his neck, a few years later. But who knows.

---

I had the same sensitivity about my neck, but I was strangled when I was a child.

I have had a huge fear of driving, in case I hurt someone. I started to think about getting my license, a few years ago, and then we got into an accident. Nope, not going to happen.

I've also never wanted to go on a cruise. Not a fan of being surrounded by deep water. I almost drowned when I was eleven, but this fear came before that.

One regression I tried on my own - one of the few that I got anything from, ten years ago - showed me as a dancer, living in a little one-room flat in England. I had wavy blonde hair, that came to just above my shoulders, and an old-fashioned bath tub in the same room. I had a string of lights, like white christmas lights, strung up over part of the room. I was apparently drowned in the bath tub, by a man I was having an affair with. The christmas lights throw me off, but I do like to have them up - I have some strung over the fireplace.

I've also had a fear of the dark - when I'm indoors (outside, I'm fine). One proper regression, had me as a boy in some sort of tribe, where darkness meant death, if you weren't careful. I guess we would be attacked at night. The regression didn't cure me, though; I still don't like to sleep in complete darkness.

I've always learned a lot from you.

I guess he had to preserve whatever he could, of his reputation.(?) Maybe in the future someone will continue his research, expanding into astrology. It could help validate both astrology and reincarnation.

I love that you know who came before you.

Fascinating. That's pretty much how I imagined it would be. Though astrology never ceases to amaze me, because it seems so unlikely that a whole set of aspects would repeat, showing a relationship between two events. Yet it happens so often.

Right.

Thanks! I will email you.

All so interesting. I feel badly for them, though ~ I remember having that level of sensitivity and it was unpleasant. There were so many times in a day where my neck was touched or could be touched (like in class, sitting in front of someone) and so often, this whole morbid train of thought would roll in, about why I was anxious about my neck. It would create an impulse to clam up my whole body with my hands over my neck. I was overall much more sensitive back then, and more affected by death, as those were the years surrounding my mother's death, and both grandmothers' deaths.

I know a few people like this. I don't see why it's expected that everyone ought to learn to drive. Not everyone likes the same things.

Ugh...must be a horrible memory. Near-drowning memories have scarred a lot of people.

Your regressions are interesting but horrifying....my god, to be murdered. 'Seems like perhaps you already had the fear of darkness in that past life with all the lights in the room?
