A boy in India who was born with missing and deformed fingers said he remembered the life of a boy of another village who had put his hand into the blades of a fodderchopping machine which amputated his fingers.
Ma Choe Hnin Htet recalled events in which Ma Lai Lai Way died during heart surgery. Three schoolmates prepared the body for burial (pp.79f). Without telling the family, they marked the back of their friend's neck with lipstick to see if this would show up as a birthmark on a new baby. About 13 months later, Ma Lai Lai Way's sister gave birth to a girl, Ma Choe Hnin Htet, who had a prominent red birthmark on the back of the neck at the site where Ma Lai Lai Way had been marked by her friends.
Jeffrey Keene, author of Someone Else's Yesterday has extremely detailed recollections of being Civil War General, John B. Gordon in a past life. He has birthmarks on his body that correspond with places where General Gordon was wounded in the war. For example, Keene has a star-shaped marking on his forehead that corresponds with a star-shaped scar that Gordon received in the war. Gordon also received a bullet wound to his cheek, the scar from which is mimicked on Jeffrey Keene's cheek.
The night before the birth of Cemil Fahrici in Turkey, Cemil's father dreamed that a distant relative, Cemil Hayik, entered the home. Hayik, a folk hero and bandit, had committed suicide during a shoot-out with the police. He had placed the muzzle of his gun to his chin and had set off the trigger with a toe. When the parents of the newborn boy found a birthmark under his chin, which actually bled and required stitching, they thought he was the reincarnation of Cemil Hayik and named him Cemil. Their impression was reinforced when the boy began to speak and described events from the life of his namesake.
A boy in Turkey who reported memories of being shot with a shotgun. He was born with a scattering of birthmarks on his chest in a patterning consistent with shotgun wounds.
When Naresh was about 2 years old, had a birth defect (a depressed area) near the middle of his chest, slightly on the right side. he would assume the posture of kneeling down and saying Namaz. This corresponded to the fracture of the ribs of Mushir Ali that was reported in the post-mortem examination.
An Indian boy claimed to remember the life of a man named Maha Ram, who was killed with a shotgun fired at close range. This boy had an array of birthmarks in the center of his chest that looked like they could possibly correspond to a shotgun blast. So the story was checked out. Indeed, there was a man named Maha Ram who was killed by a shotgun blast to the chest. An autopsy report recorded the man's chest wounds -- which corresponded directly with the boy's birthmarks.
A man from Thailand claimed that when he was a child he had distinct memories of a past life -- as his own paternal uncle. This man had a large scar-like birthmark on the back of his head. His uncle, it turns out, died from a severe knife wound to that very part of his head.
A story by Carol Bowman, involving the case of William, a young boy who was born with a serious heart condition called Pulmonary Valve Atresia, began to talk about his grandfather's life in ways that shocked his parents. He seemed to know details of his grandfather's life who had been a New York City policeman killed while attempting to prevent a robbery. The killing bullet had entered his back, cutting through his lung and slicing open a major artery—the main pulmonary artery.
These and many other documented reports seem to suggest that what is upper most in our minds at the moment of death can influence our physical condition and identity. But, why? Why would we allow ourselves to be saddled with the corrupted condition of our past lives, when nature has supposedly gifted us with a new body?
One might argue that the handicaps of our lives are chosen either by us or others as some function of our spiritual progress. However, it seems to me, that our frame of mind at the moment of death could be a more powerful influence of our future health, mental condition and even physical appearance.
What is your opinion regarding the purpose, if any, of having birth defects or marks that are directly related to past lives?
