Scale and Evidence for Past-Life Cases

Dr. Donna Thomas is a social scientist and researcher specializing in children's consciousness studies. With over 28 years of experience researching with children, she has pioneered investigations into children's transcendental experiences and altered states of consciousness, challenging conventional materialist paradigms. In this conversation, we explore: — How a near-death experience at age 15 transformed Dr. Thomas's understanding of identity and consciousness — Why children may naturally access altered states of consciousness that adults often need "gateway tools" like meditation or psychedelics to reach — The fascinating research on children's near-death experiences, including common patterns like spirals, tunnels, and feelings of "coming home" — How our materialist paradigm often pathologizes children's transcendental experiences rather than recognizing their potential validity — The compelling evidence for past life memories in children, including the surprising correlation between birthmarks and wounds from previous lives And more. You can learn more about Dr. Thomas's work through her book: "Children's Unexplained Experiences in a Post-Materialist World".

She is the author of Children’s Unexplained Experiences in a Post-Materialist World, a groundbreaking book that challenges materialist views of reality and gives voice to children’s lived experiences of the extraordinary. A Research Fellow and Co-Director at the University of Central Lancashire’s ICreateS International Research Unit, Dr. Thomas has spent over two decades studying how children describe experiences such as telepathy, near-death events, and intuitive knowing — and what these stories can teach us about the deeper dimensions of self and awareness. Inspired by her own transformative experience at age fifteen, Dr. Thomas believes that listening to children with openness and respect can expand our understanding of consciousness and point toward a more compassionate, post-materialist worldview. --- Interview Links: — Dr Thomas’ book: https://amzn.to/3XofnW6 — Dr Thomas’ X: https://x.com/donnamthomas / @donnamthomas
