A few months ago I came across an article on one of the information portals that collected some rather unusual children's sayings. It was also interesting to read the reaction of readers to these statements. In short, the reaction can be roughly divided into two types.

Those who believe in reincarnation and past lives. Such users reacted rather calmly to these children's statements, realizing that all this was related to past lives.

Those who do not believe in reincarnation. From such readers one could hear something like: "Children's fantasy is good."

I will give examples of interesting children's sayings, of which there are enough on the Internet.

I am not giving the full story, because it is big, but in short, Maksim's mother had an older brother, 14 years older than her. He loved and cared for his sister very much, their dad died early. My brother was a civil aviation pilot and died in a car accident while returning home from a flight. The story ends with the words of little Maxim: “Do you remember, I promised to take you on a plane? So, when I grow up, I will definitely become a pilot and fulfill my promise, mom!"

JanPretimanStevenson (October 31, 1918 - February 8, 2007) - Canadian-American biochemist and psychiatrist. The object of his study was the presence in children of information about the lives of people who lived before them (which, according to Stevenson, proved reincarnation, or reincarnation).

Over the course of 40 years, Stevenson has investigated over 3,000 child reports of past events. Each time, the researcher documented the child's stories and compared them with actual events.

Stevenson tried to find explanations for the phenomenon not only in terms of the possibility of transmigration of souls, he tried to exclude both deliberate deception and cases where children could accidentally receive information in the usual way, or if there is a high probability of false memories of both the subject himself and members of his current or supposed past family … Stevenson rejected several cases. Stevenson did not claim that his research proved the existence of reincarnation, cautiously calling these facts "alleged reincarnation", and considered reincarnation not the only, but still the best explanation for most of the cases he studied.

After spending many years researching reincarnation, Stevenson wrote:

Stevenson had his own learning system, his own set of techniques. In his work, the doctor was based on the following principles:

  • families in which there was a child who possessed information about the lives of people who had already died were never paid a monetary reward,
  • the research was carried out mainly with children from two to four years old,
  • a proven case was considered only one for which it was possible to obtain documentary evidence of the events being recalled.

(Stevenson. Reincarnation: Field Studies and Theoretical Issues, p. 637.)

(Stevenson. Explanatory Value of the Idea of Reincarnation. - Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, May 1977, p. 317.)

(Stevenson. Reincarnation: Field Studies and Theoretical Issues, pp. 637-38.)

(Stevenson. The Possible Nature of Post-Mortem States. - Journal of the American Society for Psychical Research, October 1980, p. 417.)

“The events that children remember best are related to the death of their former personality and the circumstances that led to it. If a person says that in a previous life he did not die by his own death, then traces in the form of moles, birthmarks, scars, scars may remain on the body. About 35% of children who talked about their past life had birthmarks or birth defects, the location of which corresponds to wounds (usually fatal) on the body of a person whose life the child remembers."

(Stevenson. Reincarnation: Field Studies and Theoretical Issues, p. 654.)

This is information from Stevenson's research, which I have summarized briefly in small passages.

In some cases, children talk about how they chose their own parents. I will give several examples of such statements. How true these statements are, I cannot judge.
