It's the nearly right that intrigues me, I have read a few cases where the details check out except from one detail that can't be reconciled, in The Siren Call of. Hungry Ghosts. by the late Joe Fisher (great Book by the way) he had the same experience with an entity who claimed to have been a Pilot in WII, everything checked out, and he gave some pretty precise details apart from one major thing, no one of the name given had ever served in WII, and things like this crop up in regressions quite frequently
That's an interesting observation, but it's one that fits with my own theory of past life regression/past life memories/'kids who remember past lives', the whole topic of individuals who seem to be able to access memories of other individuals who are now dead.
And yes, I can almost imagine the groans as posters hear read the words 'I have a theory'...
But for what it's worth, my suspicion is that -
1) There has been enough research into the area to document quite thoroughly the fact that some individuals do seem to be able to access information about the lives of specific dead people. There are too many hits to ignore the many documented cases.
2) But as you point out, there are also misses along with the hits. That's hard to explain if you believe that people are talking about their own past lives.
3) So what's going on ? Are there other examples of people being able to access data that logically they shouldn't be able to access? Especially when some of the correct data gets jumbled in with irrelevant or even wrong stuff? Actually, there is - perhaps the best paradigm is remote viewing. We are always impressed when a remote viewer scores a few dramatic hits. But we ignore it when the data provided is wrong. After all, you can't be right all the time.
So what I suspect is happening is this: past life recall does not prove that you were the person whose memories you seem to be accessing. You are accessing someone else's life. Why that particular person? I honestly have no idea. I'd have to do some hand waving and talk about sympathy or 'vibes'. Somehow you resonate with someone else's life. You get glimpses of their experiences. But essentially you are remote viewing someone else's past. Hence the jumble of good data and mistakes.
I know most people won't like this, because I am essentially rejecting the whole notion of the immortality of the soul. Past life recall does not prove reincarnation, any more than trying to remote view a set of geographical co-ordinates proves you are an island in the South Pacific. The mechanism is essentially the same.
Anyway, on that cheery note, on with the discussion.
