There could be several other explanations for ‘pre-birth’ memories which are ‘recalled’ by subjects under hypnosis. They are:
1. A Vivid Imagination.
2. A Secondary Personality of the subject, surfacing under hypnosis and claiming to
be a different individual.
3. An ancient spirit entity linking with the subject’s mind and relaying through thought-transference or mediumship its past memories.
4. The subject could be tapping into what Carl Jung called The Collective Unconscious, referred to in the East as The Akashic Records (a kind of
complete cosmic library of thoughts, feelings and deeds recorded since the beginning of time).
5. Remote Viewing (mentally perceiving the past and dramatising it as a living present)
6. Out-of-the-Body recollections, or alternatively Astral Projection memories, during which the travelling spirit body sees places and people while the physical body is asleep. Then, when awake, the subject may
‘inexplicably’ recognise them again.
7. Genetic Memories. Some people claim that past ancestral memories might be passed down within the genes of the body.
8. Cryptamnesia: the recalling of films/TV/all reading matter/conversations etc, heard or seen when younger, which now surface as a dramatised ‘previous life’.
9. Multiple Personality Disorder: a psychiatric condition in which it is claimed that one person may express several different personalities which can manifest at different times; and it’s even possible,
they say, for each persona to be ignorant of the existence of the others and of their acts.
Any one of these alternative explanations for rebirth memories could broadly nullify ‘past life recollections’, which is why I don’t think this issue will ever be resolved - but, having said that, personal conviction is good enough proof for some perceivers.
