Please read the book 'Old Souls: Compelling Evidence from Children Who Remember Past Lives' by Thomas Shroder or
'Old Souls: The Scientific Evidence For Past Lives by Thomas Shroder'.
Comments From Publishers Weekly
While it is easy for Western science to dismiss as fantasy or wish fulfillment the recollections of individuals who "remember" being Cleopatra or Napoleon, how is one to explain a young boy's insistence that he is really a nondescript auto mechanic who died in a car crash a few years before? American psychiatrist Ian Stevenson has spent more than 30 years studying the cases of some 2000 children who spontaneously remember concrete details about dead strangers whose experiences can be documented. On his two final field trips, to Lebanon and India, he was accompanied by journalist Shroder, Sunday Style editor of the Washington Post. Shroder's account of these expeditions emphasizes physical detail over in-depth analysis but nevertheless makes for engrossing reading. In many cases, the subjects exhibit birthmarks or extreme phobias corresponding to injuries or traumatic events in their "past lives." They recognize the deceased's relatives and friends; in one case, a Lebanese boy asked the deceased's mother if she had finished knitting the sweater she was making for him when he died. That the compelling questions raised by such cases are ignored by the scientific establishment causes Stevenson great disappointment. "For me," he claims, "everything now believed by scientists is open to question, and I am always dismayed to find that many scientists accept current knowledge as forever fixed." The journalistic objectivity Shroder brings to his material makes this an exceptionally valuable treatment of an often disparaged subject. Agent, Al Hart, Fox Chase Agency. (Aug.)

Not concretely, but there are stories about people that seem to remember places they had never been to before and when confronted with this place, they knew exactly how to get around. Most children, being untainted by society, will sometimes speak of who they knew and where they lived in a past life. Since most theories suggest that the time of death is the time of the fecundation of an egg and a sperm (beginning of life), the time period is short enough for children to somewhat remember clearly.

A lot of the Buddhist monks spend their time making charts and determining who was who in a past life. For them, reincarnation is very real. If not, they wouldn't be selecting their Dalai Lama just because he was cute. They believe he reincarnates. You should read some more into this. It's very interesting and I think it may change your view of life and death for the better.

we should not waste our energy in futile efforts to find out proof for each and every thing. the basic philosophy of life revolves around karma factors. FAITH is thle great source of strength.
