Reincarnation: A Reality For These Figures

Imagine remembering a person you used to be. Some people live those memories everyday.

Reincarnation: A Reality For These Figures
Conscious Lifestyle Mag

Personally, I do not believe in reincarnation. However, I do have a great interest in events that go "beyond science" (which is the name of a YouTube channel that I follow, if you like things similar to what I am about to talk about I suggest subscribing to it). Reincarnation is an idea that has been around for centuries. Reincarnation is a belief of multiple cultures and religions, especially in the Western World. To some of us, this is just a history lesson from old cultures. But to others, this is reality.

Patrick Christenson

In March of 1991, Patrick was born by cesarean section. Twelve years earlier, he had an older brother named Kevin who died of cancer at the age of two. Kevin developed a limp six months before passing away. Kevin also had a small nodule above his right ear removed, a biopsy was performed and this is how the family found out Kevin had cancer. Tumors eventually spread throughout the rest of his body, one of them causing blindness in his eye. Kevin passed away shortly after his second birthday. Twelve years later, Patrick was born. Coincidentally, Patrick walked with a limp, had a scar above his right ear, and was blind in one eye. Patrick also talked about the old house that Kevin lived in, and mentioned how he doesn't remember much during the procedure where the doctors removed the nodule above his ear.

Purnima Ekanayake

Purnima was nine years old when a psychology professor decided to visit her in her home in Sri Lanka. The professor was interested in this particular girl because usually kids stop talking about their past life by the age of six. Purnima claimed that she had died in a traffic accident in her past life. The parents and professor were interested in this, so they travelled to the village the girl used to live in. The girl used to be a man named 'Jinadasa,' and he used to work in an incense factory. Purnima had birth marks on her stomach, which she said were the tire marks of where the bus ran over her in her past life.

Twin Sisters

In England in 1957, two sisters were killed by a car that hit them while they were walking along a sidewalk. One year later, the wife became pregnant, and the husband had a feeling that this pregnancy was going to be twin girls, both of who were going to be a reincarnation of their daughters who passed the year before. One of the babies was born with a scar above her right eyebrow, identical to their oldest daughter's. The other baby was born with a mole, the same size and in the same spot as their youngest daughter who had passed. When the girl's turned four, the husband opened up his late daughters' box full of toys. The twin girls knew the names of every single toy, and to which sister it belonged to.

James Leininger

James had a fascination with anything aircraft related when he was a child. However, when he turned two James began having nightmares about aviation. He would wake up shouting "burning plane" and "man can't get out." James would tell his father about how he used to fly planes off of a ship called Natoma. His father was very interested in these stories that he researched this ship. Come to find out, Natoma was an aircraft ship in the Pacific, and a young man at the age of 21 died when a plane caught on fire. It is to be believed that James is the reincarnation of this young pilot.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
