Episode notes
Past Life Memories Fade With Age
- Most children cease recalling past lives around ages five to seven due to early childhood amnesia and life absorption.
- Adults initially studied often report vague past life memories or gain a lasting spiritual outlook from these early experiences.
Children Recall Recent Local Lives
- Children mostly remember past lives in the same country and often from recent past lives averaging about four and a half years ago.
- Memories closely linked in time or place are easier to verify and more common than distant past lives.
Genetic Propensity for Past Life Memory
- There may be a genetic or epigenetic propensity for remembering past lives or accessing consciousness.
- Epigenetic trauma transmission could link past sufferings to the new life experiences in some way.
