Some new thoughts?
I recently had an e-mail from an American woman who was raised in a strict religion and believed, as many Americans do, in just a single, make-or-break, life. She told me I was going to Hell for not believing as she does. I wonder how she was so fully blessed with the truth, as she has less than a high school education.

Certainly, this is the only life that we all can remember, so we must work on that. However, young children appear here and there, with memories of a supposed past existences. One of the best books on this subject is Twenty Cases suggestive of Reincarnation, by psychologist Dr. Ian Stevenson of the University of Virginia, Charlottesville. He worked hard to screen out all other influences on these children, and ended up believing that reincarnation in some form was the most likely explanation.

One of the traditional stories from the late 1930s is the famous Shanti Devi case, which can be found on-line.  http://www.beliefnet.com/Faiths/Hinduism/2002/06/I-Have-Lived-Before-The-Reincarnation-Of-Shanti-Devi.aspx

Now, there is a new one. See link below:

 This link will take you to an interview done within the past year. I welcome your explanation of how so much precise information could be in the consciousness of this 5 year-old boy, unless there is such a thing as reincarnation.
