One way they analyze past lives is by interviewing very young children, who can show signs of being able to recall their past lives.

As far as figuring out your own past lives... as of yet there isn't a really genuine way to discern this. My dad went to a past life hypnotist once and I think they told him he was like the baron of egypt or some shit.

Why do you even think that past lives are real, if you do?

Confirmation bias.

They seem more plausible than one shot. If there is some sort of life after death, it makes much more sense that reincarnation happens than you go to either heaven or hell for all eternity.

Sometimes I meet people that I feel like I used to know, though confirmation bias comes into play here it's not like I'm so attached to reincarnation that I filter the evidence. It just seems most plausible of all post-life theories.

Sounds like a load of crap to me.

I don't necessarly believe in them I wanna hear about it. I am interested in the subject. I listen to all sides and like to learn about all types of concepts, ideas, philosophies and well anything. But didn't start the thread to attract haters.

I use to think I could remember my past life (when I was a young kid). I remember being on a boat in the middle of the ocean and I saw a buoy with the number 5 on it, and my mom said something about sharks.

Later in life, I realized that it was ridiculous because the mom in this "vision" or whatever looked and sounded just like the mom I know in my present life. It had to be one of my earliest recalled dreams.

I'm skeptical but I am still up for discussion.

The problem with taking shit that has no scientific basis too seriously is you can't tell the difference between genuine information and scam-artists trying to make a buck. While it's my belief that in the future more will be understood about reincarnation for right now you're better off being skeptical.

If reincarnation is possible then imo, it's only possible within a metaphysical aspect. On a classical physical sense as well as on a quantum level, it's unrealistic for the Universe to undergo a series of bounces.
