Past Life Regression,any experiences?
Discussion
Whilst there is often anecdotal evidence, no scientific test has ever confirmed past life regression is true.
Typically, people will give little details of some past life and they happen to fit some long dead person when investigated. But if you were to claim your name was once Jaques and you were married to Nichole in Marseilles in 1856, there's a reasonable chance someone will match closely enough. People will sometimes mention a street name or town that they never heard of before, and on investigation it turns out to exist. Sadly it's more likely that they heard the name on some documentary and whilst they don't recall it normally, they'll retrieve the information under hypnosis.
If you've been to a hypnosis stage show and watched as some poor sap is convinced that he's Madonna, watching someone 'remember' a past life under hypnosis doesn't seem so much more believable.

alot of past life stuff is put down to "cryptoamnesia". This is a phenomena where we unconciously absorb information. An example would be a person is hypnotised and can speak latin or greek, something they cannot do in day to day life, however it may be that at some point the happened to walk past an open book with a page of latin, which they glanced at and absorbed, only to be later reguritated under hypnosis. I know its not a perfect example, but its the best icould come up with so quickly. The same would be true of other details that are provided, ie they saw a documentary and remembered names and places, or holidayt locations and so on ....

How can we have a past life? The maths doesn't add up; there are more alive now than previously walked around in mankind's history.
You are assuming we all have had past lives rather than just some of us.
Sounds a tad unfair. Gets back to that if your good in this life, then you will be reborn. Religion.
