It features a British boy who is convinced he had a previous life on an island called Barra. I've pasted a link for those who want to read up on this boy. selma -------- Selma,Ian Stevenson at University of Virginia devoted his life to studying such cases, and came up empty handed as far as proving the authenticity of the claims is concerned. His student Satwant Pasricha continues to investigate these anecdotes at the National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences in Bangalore, where I worked for some time. From what I remember, almost all of their cases can be explained by mundane factors, such as stories told by visitors and playmates. It is virtually impossible to rule out such contamination in general.Cheers,Santosh. ------------ Hi Selma, Let me put you out of your misery. The Barra boy story is true and Reincarnation is also true, I found no holes in it. As the program said, as we grow up we lose our child memory, secondly they took too long to follow up, they had no money, most of all - WHY!
It so happens that as children grow up we loose some of the natures survival instincts/gifts that we acquire from nature. For example psychology (which was discovered long ago by the Greeks but only applied as a science till modern times), children are born with it. As we grow up we lose 'that special gift', dogs and children also have 'that special kind of gift', which they cannot convey because they cannot speak. Be as it may! 19 years ago (long before copy and paste) they showed on TV, made by an European Channel, Sweden/Denmark not sure, and repeated several times on Sky that year. An Indian boy born to a poor, I mean very poor slum dwelling woman in an UP village. That woman said he always said to me, 'you are NOT my mum, why do you have only one saree, my mum had 100s because I bought them for her, had a car, and a shop. She said to him 'I am your mum' etc etc - This whole story goes on and on for one hour. - To cut it short. He told her where the shop is, the location of the shop, the tree in front of the shop, the safe inside the shop where he kept his money etc etc. He told that his wife helped him in the shop, he has two sons, he told them their names too. He told them how the shop counter was positioned (which his wife then changed so as not to remind her of her dead husband). When the boy was taken to that place which was totally in a different area to where he was born,that boy or any one would not have known because it was/is insignificant. The tree, the safe, the counter, the positioning of the radios and the TVs etc was confirmed by his wife. The boy told his wife on cmaera, 'you have changed it all'. The wife when told, 'I am your husband', she told him on camera, "how can I call you my husband when you are younger than my sons". When he told her what he called, she burst into tears and did not want to be in front of the camera any more. The program than moves on to how he died, again, no where near where he was born again, and no way any one would have told the boy. How did he die? he was shot. When was he shot? on a rainy night in front of his house when in his CAR, returning home. Where was he shot? On the top of the head. All confirmed by the boy his wife and the villagers. Because it was a heavy rainy day there was too much thunder and lightening etc Why? Money! Black money or whatever. He says he will not tell where he has hidden it, because it is his. Now! WHEN THEY SHAVED HIS HEAD ON CAMERA - THERE WAS A BIG SCAR WHERE HE SAID HE WAS SHOT. His biological mother said he was born like that, the doctors said with that sort of wound on the head, that place and as a child, he should be dead. All this on European TV. (professors are 'deliberately' looking in the wrong place because they are making a 'living' out of it, longer the search longer the pay packet). ED.
