Why do so many newly speaking, young children refer to a time when they lived another life?

Question

I have heard of children refering to when they were "old" and even the opposite sex... is this proof of reincarnation??

Answer 1

They are remembering bits and pieces of things that happened to them and in their little minds, it seems like it was a long long time ago to them. It is their way of expressing it. Children can also remember hearing and feeling things that happened when they were in the womb.

There are many problems with the salvation-by works doctrine of reincarnation. First, there are many practical problems. For example:
1. We must ask, why does one get punished for something he or she cannot remember having done in a previous life?
2. If the purpose of karma is to rid humanity of its selfish desires, then why hasn't there been a noticeable improvement in human nature after all the millennia of reincarnations?
3. If reincarnation and the law of karma are so beneficial on a practical level, then how do advocates of this doctrine explain the immense and ever-worsening social and economic problems - including widespread poverty, starvation, disease, and horrible suffering - in India, where reincarnation has been systematically taught through out its history?
There are also many biblical problems with believing in reincarnation. For example, in 2 Corinthians 5:8 the apostle Paul states, "We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord." At death, the, the Christian immediately goes into the presence of the Lord, not into another body. In keeping with this. Luke 16:19-31 tells us that unbelievers at death go to a place of suffering, not into another body.
Further, Hebrews 9:27 assures us that "man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment." Each human being LIVES ONCE as a mortal on earth, DIES ONCE, and then FACES JUDGMENT. He does not have a second chance by reincarnating into another body.

Answer 2

I believe this behavior is direct evidence of reincarnation. Many children up to the age of seven display this ability and it is only after becoming indoctrinated into a formal belief system does this behavior disappears.

Answer 3

I think it is. The children that are being born since about 2000 are more intuitive to their psychic abilities, and past lives if they have reincarnated before.

Answer 4

Children are being born today with a more highly developed spiritual power than earlier generations.
that allows them to remember past lives.
yes, it is a very alive proof that reincarnation exist!

Answer 5

I have never witnessed anything like this. I've never even heard of it. Who has been documenting this? Young children that are just learning to speak are easily confused about things like gender, so it's not proof of anything.

Answer 6

No proof. Spirit walks close with the newborn to 9 year old. Is there a separation between guide and individual?

Answer 7

As a father of three I've never heard it from my children or any of their friends. And I've heard many more amazing things from them than fantasies of past lives.

Answer 8

It's proof of the fact that children don't understand what they are saying all the time.

Answer 9

My youngest did the same thing.

He is now 14 and remembers some of it yet.

Many kids refer to Santa, the tooth fairy, and to Angels. Maybe you are on to something.
