Isn't this several years old? Just a question. Sure it's interesting, but I was the same at his age when it came to dinosaurs, and now a days I can recite the exact construction of a warp engine (a real one, not a star trek one). And in between those two periods of my life, I could draw out the evolutionary tree of an entire planet I dreamed about over the course of a few nights. From first cell to sentient creatures. It was a game I played with myself to try and think something up. Today I have the whole evolutionary history saved in my brain, planning on drawing it out soon.


So in reality, all the kid would need is a name and a few books and he could do as I did at his age.

I agree with trollz. For those that believe the truth of the Bible, it is easy to see where this child gets his knowledge, whether "coached" or not from his elders. The Bible clearly states that there is no "life after death" unless you attain it in the resurrection. Once you are dead, you are DEAD! No thoughts, actions, dreams, aspirations, or future! (see Eze. 18:4, 20; Ecc. 9:5,10; Heb. 9: 25-28) This child has been given this information clearly either by human or demonic means to perpetuate the lie of living beyond the realm of the grave. This has been going on for thousands of years and it all started with the same lie in the beginning of human history by the great deceiver, the arch enemy, Satan the Devil. He is the one who said to the first woman, "...you will surely not DIE."(Gen. 3:4; John 8:44; 1 Jo. 3:8) He has been playing this game ever since! Isn't it time we should all WAKE UP and discern his true intentions as the "Deceiver" that he is? Even if this poor child was "coached" by his parents and/or the sister of that navy pilot to make money off of the publication, it still shows who is behind the actions that they wish to produce. So, is it sensible to assume it would take 4 years to bring this to light through a book? Sure it would, so that you tie up all the loose ends with so called "facts" to cover up your lie! And why not? Satan has been doing this for over 6000 years of recorded human history!

Reincarnation was a part of early Christianity.
The Church found that soul-saving was more profitable and removed all references to it from the writings that they included in their bible.

It is strange that Christians believe that when the body dies that their soul goes to Heaven, and they believe in being resurected on Earth, but they cannot translate this to Reincarnation.

I've had my own memories and those dreams that I had until I was about 4. Somewhere there is a place where there are white rocks on the hills and the Indians lived in Tepees.

very interesting video, i do think that being a reincarnation alone is very improbable and adding the fact that both of their names are james is kindo to much for me. That makes it seems just to fishy. Kindo like a family that really believes in reincarnation is trying hard to convince people to follow the same thinking, or maybe like a family that might want to write a book on the subject so they need a good story. Kids imaginations are crazy, and kids often follow parents thinking

A lot of early christians believed in reincarnation.

So many that sometimes I feel closer to then than I do now.
I'm pagan b/c I've always BEEN pagan. KWIM?

This truly is amazing...really makes you think

***Here's another possibility. The parents are great coachers. The parents exposed the kid to WWII fighter planes, books, pictures, stories. They found out details on a few folks from an aircraft carrier during the war. They did a family tree search on the pilot. They hired a PI to get extra really obscure details. They called the news channel. Researched the crash landing map. Rehearsed the emotion of the tossing flowers at the crash site. Published the book. Cashed the check. Rollin' in dough. Let's all say Yes! to reincarnation. Yes. Who gives a crap if we're reincarnating anyway? Just live your life and enjoy it while it lasts. You could be that dead pilot down there with the dolphins and whales. Right.***

ummm, exactly how much money do you think these parents stand to make on the book?

the margin in publishing is very thin, writers, especially first time writers, are hardly 'rollin' in the dough' . . . just the opposite. most don't make it precisely because there's too many people chasing too few dollars in the always shrinking book market.

and if they self-published, which might well be the case, the money is even scarcer.

so . . .

these parents are total monsters, imprint their kid with all of these horrific memories of dying in a fighter plane, spend god knows how long researching this obscure flyer, pay money out of their pocket to hire a PI to investigate the family, all with the brilliant scheme of *someday* years in the future publishing a book and becoming filthy rich??

ha.

lookit, i know this is a polarizing issue and one in which minds are made up quickly and changed almost never . . . and that's fine. but c'mon . . . there are much better arguments against reincarnation than the 'greedy parents want to write a book' angle.

if this happened to my kid and i believed it, i'd probably look into having a book written as well. it would be a truly amazing story.

i have done the same with a english soldier beheaded at the battle of edgehill (to the exact same spot where my head rolled), a roman soldier in York and German Officer during WW2 who was close to Hitler, and "something" that shown me a lost place in the jungles of S America

and i have had prophetic dreams, 8 of the 14 have come true so far.

Well If all that stuff is correct, then I could say the same. I really don't know how someone can base dreams off of "past lives"

According to my dreams then I've been/will be

-Someone special on some coastal civilization a long time ago

-Roman soldier during the invasion of Iberia and in turn one of the Romans who worked on a farm colony there

-A lot of other roman and Greek figures

-Some guy fighting in some middle eastern fight with an ak47

-some naval commander

-A general in WW2. Something draws me close to Patton. I don't know why. I feel like I'm in his boots in his pictures. Funny because my Grandfather was under his command.

-A biologist a century in the future charting the species of a new world. Flying squid, 6 legged reptile-mammals. All kinds of odd things

-A US special opps dieing in some urban/jungle place with an M4 by my side, or some other gun

- A leader in both WW3 and WW4. The same person. In both wars a leader. At the end of WW3, an exile. At the end of WW4, conqueror and cheered leader of many people globally

-me right now, which who knows what will occur.


But I can't believe those as nothing more than dreams influenced by events near me. They may be more developed and complex than the ordinary dream, but I don't know

[edit on 15-6-2009 by Gorman91]

I totally believe in reincarnation, it has never made sense to me that we go around only once here. Though I believe the churches will never allow it into their ideas, they could not control people, if they did.
