The Epoch Times posted an interesting article about the extraordinary work that Dr. Jim Tucker is continuing in regards to connections between birthmarks and past lives.

Pioneered by the lat Dr. Ian Stevenson, the research involves hundreds of documented cases of children and adults with reports of some recollection of a past live and somehow is connected to a particular birthmark, like the following case:

An old woman died in Thailand with the wish to reincarnate as a boy. Her daughter dipped a finger in white paste and marked the back of the woman’s neck with the paste. Not long after the woman’s death, the daughter gave birth to a son with a white mark on the back of his neck that mirrored the white paste left on the woman’s neck. When the boy became old enough to talk, he would claim possession of things that belonged to his grandmother as though they’d always been his.

Coincidence? Keep reading.

A boy named Maha Ram in India could remember being killed in a previous life with a shotgun fired at close range. He remembered enough details of his past life for Stevenson to find the autopsy report of the man supposedly reincarnated as Ram. The birthmarks on Ram’s chest corresponded to the bullet wounds.

Too coincidental? Maybe so but Dr. Tucker has collected many stories, photographs, and other pertinent evidence over the years that are too coincidental to just ignore.
