Has your child ever talked about a past life or exhibited phobias that may be related to a traumatic death ?

Nope.

Past lives..what a load

I don't have a child.

And if I had one, and he/she/(or anyone else for that matter) spoke of "past lives" they had, I, naturally, wouldn't believe them.

EvF

The concept of 'past lives' presupposes the existence of a soul that is independent of the physical body. What reason is there to believe that?

A child may talk about such, but that doesn't make any word of it necessarily true.

Could you further define? It's rather difficult to pinpoint just what you mean by "exhibited phobias that may be related to a traumatic death" :S

Like have a phobia of water because they drowned in a past life, or a phobia of black boots and barbed wire because they were in a concentration camp.

When I was a child:

I believed that disembodied white hands roamed the earth moving things when we weren't looking.

I used to think I was born with a tale.

I thought Mickey Mouse lived in Corvallis because City Hall looked vaguely like the magic castle.

Santa made sense because, ya know, he is magic!

The Easter Bunny was real because baskets don't park themselves in front of my room by themselves!

Conclusion - children are prone to coming to weird conclusions and need our guidance to avoid believing specious crap.

There is no such thing as past lives.

Shineylight can you prove your positive assertion?
