From time to time, the topic of reincarnation comes up. As a rule, the Christian community doesn’t buy it, since the Bible doesn’t promote such an idea.
Is there any evidence for this idea? Perhaps the answer can be discovered in an old expression – “out of the mouths of babes.”
Many of us have had the experience of witnessing our young children seeming to be engaged in a conversation or interaction with an “invisible” companion. Most likely, we wrote it off as a child’s imagination and gave it little thought other than amusement.
What if we missed an important clue?
Today’s technology has given us access to more evidence than in years past. Recently, I encountered an internet article that described a number of incidents where the actions of a young child suggested hidden truths about the travels of a soul through time.
Several of these stories were about comments or recollections of a child who had no logical reason for knowing what they expressed – at least in terms of our common understanding. One child commented that she fell asleep in the water “under the ducks” and then awoke with a new mommy. Another child commented on a car he recognized as identical to the one where he was killed.
Several children recognized and correctly identified pictures of people who had died long before the child was born or described family relationships where the child was the ancestor of their current parent.
The fact that these children are able to describe persons or events that existed long before their current lifetime is a strong indication that there is more to our existence than we are capable of grasping with our accepted beliefs.
We humans are guilty of making judgments based on a set of beliefs inherited over time. That is especially true when it comes to our spiritual beliefs such as those described in the Bible. In our arrogance, the mistake we make is to cling to the belief that concepts not specifically described in the Bible are not true. If we reflect on that idea, we must acknowledge that much of what we have learned through science is not addressed in Biblical texts.
The Bible does not discuss the size of our sun, the orbits of the planets, the speed of light, or the vastness of the universe, yet these are discoveries of human science. Perhaps reincarnation is another concept that we have yet to prove, but exists nonetheless. Perhaps these childhood revelations are the proof we seek to confirm that God is the ultimate recycler, and that the “afterlife” includes multiple opportunities to learn a greater truth.
