Near death experiences and out of body experiences are nothing more than dying brain cells firing randomly and going haywire as they start to die. It takes many hours, if not days for every brain cell to completely die, for every neuron to stop firing and for electrical activity deep inside the brain to completely stop. Some near death experiences and out of body experiences conflict each other, they can't all be right but they can all be wrong. The laws of physics do not allow there to be an afterlife. There are other explanations for NDEs and OBEs, due to the lack of oxygen getting to the brain, these brain cells spontaneously fire and are a result of the chemicals in the brain. Quantum field theory says that there is one field for every type of particle. They can not be any spirit particles or spirit forces that can interact with are regular atoms because we would of detected them in existing experiments. Any new type of particle or force that we have not yet detected would: 1) Be too weakly interacting, 2) Be too heavy to create, 3) be too short lived to detect or 4) Interacting over too short ranges. In any case the new type of particle or force would not be relevant to what the atoms are doing in your brain and body. Your soul is just a certain pattern of arrangement of protons, neutrons and electrons interacting with each other via electromagnetism, the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force and gravity which essentially gives us our spirit. Consciousness is a series of atoms and electrons which essentially gives us our mind. There is no way for the information stored in your brain to persist after you die and there is clearly no way for the soul to survive death. Energy is absolutely conserved upon death. Unfortunately conversion to spiritual of conscious energy is not one of them and your consciousness and spirit is not conserved in any way. The electrical energy of your brain simply ceases to be and will change form to a higher entropy which is a more disordered form of energy namely heat. This heat energy is not your spirit or consciousness, it is just the most disordered form of energy, thus all energy will eventually be converted into heat energy.
Great job on interviewing Dr. Tucker. I like how you said that if someone mentioned reincarnation a few years ago you would have been put off. I was the same way until I read the Leininger's book back in 2010. Honestly, I had forgotten about it because life got in the way, but a few years ago I found the book again (it was lost for years before reappearing in plain sight). I reread it, but this time I did other research and stumbled upon DOPS and Jim Tucker, and I've been hooked ever since. Again, reincarnation didn't appeal to me, but after the Leininger's book & Jim Tuck/DOPS, I can't think of too many conversations I'd rather have (if any).
Thank you for your comment! Yes absolutely - 2 years ago I wouldn't have given a second thought to this phenomenon. I certainly had no idea how much data there is about it. That's cool that it was the Leininger's book that opened your mind to it. I don't know if you've watched my interview with Bruce Leininger yet? Here's the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ovtX9i0DZtY.html -- hope you enjoy!
I read that book too and Dr. Brian Weiss, MD. "Many Lives, Many Masters". Fascinating!! I had a reading by this therapist and psychic, on YT, see Melissa Free Range Psychic. I was an English Lady born in 1873, a famous personality in the early 1900's.
Thank you very much, RobinsonBiology! Appreciate that. 100% with you in that we need to shake the stigma so that the larger scientific community can research this phenomenon. We can play our part by simply talking about it to people who aren't familiar with it, and by sharing content like this with open-minded skeptics. Imagine the data & statistics we'd have if there were even just 100 scientists working on this!
Exactly! I was so happy to finally secure an interview with Jim. He has been one of the people that I've wanted to talk with since I started the channel. I hope you enjoyed it and gained some new insights! Thanks for commenting, Shobhit.
@@UnravellingTheUniverse There is NO life after death: Scientist insists afterlife is IMPOSSIBLE THERE is NO life after death, according to one well respected physicist who claims humanity has to abandon all fanciful beliefs and focus on what the laws of the universe dictate. Sean Carroll, a cosmologist and physics professor at the California Institute of Technology, believes he has put the debate surrounding the afterlife to bed after extensively studying the laws of physics. Dr Carroll states “the laws of physics underlying everyday life are completely understood” and everything happens within the realms of possibility. He says for there to be an afterlife, consciousness would need to be something that is entirely separated from our physical body - which it is not. Rather, consciousness at the very basic level is a series of atoms and electrons which essentially give us our mind. The laws of the universe do not allow these particles to operate after our physical demise, according to Dr Carroll He said: “Claims that some form of consciousness persists after our bodies die and decay into their constituent atoms face one huge, insuperable obstacle: the laws of physics underlying everyday life are completely understood, and there's no way within those laws to allow for the information stored in our brains to persist after we die.” For his evidence, Dr Carroll points to the Quantum Field Theory (QFT). In simple terms, the QFT is the belief there is one field for each type of particle. For example, all the photons in the universe are on one level, and all the electrons too have their own field, and for every other type of particle too. Dr Carroll explains if life continued in some capacity after death, tests on the quantum field would have revealed "spirit particles" and "spirit forces”. Dr Carroll writes in the Scientific American: “If it's really nothing but atoms and the known forces, there is clearly no way for the soul to survive death. “Believing in life after death, to put it mildly, requires physics beyond the Standard Model. “Most importantly, we need some way for that ‘new physics’ to interact with the atoms that we do have. “Within QFT, there can't be a new collection of ‘spirit particles’ and ‘spirit forces’ that interact with our regular atoms, because we would have detected them in existing experiments.” Once this is accepted by all scientists, Dr Carroll says, then they can truly begin to understand how the human mind operated. He said: “There's no reason to be agnostic about ideas that are dramatically incompatible with everything we know about modern science. “Once we get over any reluctance to face reality on this issue, we can get down to the much more interesting questions of how human beings and consciousness really work.”
Ben, I am also glad you asked about multiple personalities. I was very close to someone who I have no doubt has dissociative identity disorder. If you had asked me ten years ago if I thought it could be multiple consciousness living in one body I would have treated the idea with contempt prior to investigation, but now I believe it is as good an explanation as any, especially considering that the brain does not appear to be the progenitor of consciousness.
@@charliesmith3832 Silly boy. You are presuming materialism, but materialism is nonsensical since consciousness has no commonality with the material world. Hence, we can have certitude that it is false.
Thank you for commenting again @nativeamhunter1971 ! This is a particularly fascinating area, you're right. I'm not sure where I stand on multiple personality but I look forward to learning more about it. There is so much we don't know!
Yeah, silly indeed. It seems to be a spam comment(er) but still frustrating to see such nonsense being spouted off as if it's fact. Materialism is redundant, the mainstream needs to wake up to that fact.

I found this video on U of Virginia Perceptual Studies site. Great Interview. My son and father both had a spotty red birth marks at the base of their sculls. Execution or guillotine? Both personalities are chivalrous, graceful... French courtiers? I get my son was a knight too. During my daughter's Applied Kinesiology therapy for dyslexia using Specialized Kinesiology or Energy Kinesiology, we came across a past life where the dyslexia originated. She was a 16 yr old boy in what was then 1717 Germany. Something horrible happened to her, but the therapist did not give details. I have Human Development B.A. and have been researching these subjects for many years. So glad to see them taken seriously.
Thank you very much Carol. Glad you enjoyed it. Fascinating about your son & father's matching birthmarks. Did your father transition before your son was born? I'd love to hear more about the therapy and circumstances that allowed your daughter to access her potential past life memories. Thanks again & hope you continue to enjoy the channel :)
My son was born during my dad's life. I think they shared a past life but its just a feeling, I only get slight intuitive hits. Chiropractors discovered and developed applied kinesiology, muscle testing. A biologist, Dr. Charles Krebs, healed himself using AK and other therapies and then wrote a book, called "A Revolutionary Way of Thinking" and he has videos on yt too. if you imagine the body as a computer, muscle testing is the mouse used as a diagnostic and question answering tool. They can hack the operating system and get answers from many layers, material, mental, emotional, spiritual, electric, nutritional... then it was developed into Specialized and Energy Kinesiology.
Contact this man, Adam Lehman and international instructor and my practitioner. Tell him , Carol Saia sent you! bioenergeticarts.com/about-page/ He can explain it to you better. The practitioner that helped me with my daughter's dyslexia and found the past life that was responsible for the trauma, was Kathie Guhl. I went to the Harvard Univ website, and specifically the McLean College of Mental Health to see if dyslexia can be caused by child abuse. yes, it can.
I had a psychic reading from this MFCC therapist, Melissa Free Range Psychic on yt. You should see her videos of the past lives (Nazis!!and more) of our politicians and interview her!!! She found that I was Lady Ottoline Morrell, 1873, England. I was part of the Bloomsbury Society and was involved in gathering Artists and thinkers. Look her up!! lots of pictures and info about her. I just finished her memoir and we think and feel alike.
Pure speculation (food for thought 💭) 1:04:03 I've been wondering if consciousnesses can split itself amongst different persons. There might be "one" consciousness that splits itself overtime. The more we feel connected with someone, the more "recent" the split is (see binary trees). The baby might have inherited a split of his uncle "spark of consciousness" and get the full version of it when the uncled passed away. I don't know, the possesion hypothesis is scary 😳 Thanks for the interview and for asking my questions 😊 Wonderful job 👏
Very interesting speculation and food for thought indeed. Thanks for sharing your ideas Jérémy! I don't think the possession hypothesis is necessarily as scary as it sounds at first, but it sure isn't the easiest thing to process. Glad you enjoyed the interview my friend! Very grateful for your support 🙏✌️
There's a thing that puzzles me about these cases. This isn't said in a spirit of debunking. Not at all. I genuinely think there's an anomaly here which, no matter its interpretation, must have profound implications. However, this puzzles me, perhaps even disturbs me a bit about these cases. It's a little hard to put into words, but I'll try. I imagine (I may be wrong about this) that if I went to another realm beyond death and returned, the LAST thing that would be on my mind is the like of "why are you giving me cheesecake? I never liked cheesecake" (I am essentialising a pattern here, not quoting a specific case). Or, listen, uncle Ted hid his wallet behind the fridge in the old kitchen, and lo and behold there's the wallet. Instead, I'd be saying stuff like "guys, guys, never mind about all that - WE DON'T FLIPPIN' DIE, THERE'S LIFE AFTER DEATH, I SAW GOD, I SAW A *WHOLE OTHER WORLD*, I can't even BEGIN to tell you what I expeerienced!!" Instead we get this sort of thing: "Why are you giving me onions with my gravy? My name's Ben and I never took onions with my gravy!" I don't get it. There's just something about this that doesn't compute. Now I know that this material is evidential, whereas the other discussions I have mentioned are not (so there's that) but in a way that just fuels my suspicion. I STILL find it hard to believe that these mundane things would somehow be uppermost in my mind if I had seen whole other realms, and particularly if they were as glorious as seems to be suggested in so many NDEs. There's something about all this that is almost like something gaming the situation to steer our thought patterns in particular ways, and I find that a bit perturbing. The benign interpretation would be that the phenomenon wants us to focus on the evidence. But what do we mean by "the phenomenon" and how does it happen to have its own agency in that way? The more problematic interpretation might be that the entire thing is a device by the collective unconscious (or whatever) and steering our thoughts in a particular direction (whether literally true or not) is the game that it's about.
Thank you for sharing your (very interesting) thoughts, Green Sleeves. I find the same difficultly in selecting my words for my response as you did when writing your original comment. I totally understand what you're saying in the sense that why would a deceased relative communicate through a medium and say that they 'left their favourite hat in the attic underneath the painting of the chicken.' Could it be that they're not 'allowed' to tell us certain things? Could it be that when they connect with us, all of a sudden the mundane thoughts that they used to have come rushing back, and one random thought sticks out? Could it be that these types of communications, mundane as they may be, are often more evidential than saying 'oh you wouldn't believe it here, it's incredible, etc etc', and so they are trying to spread awareness of survival? Could it be that they want to share all of the things that they've experienced since transitioning, but they are simply ineffable. People who experience NDEs or spiritually transformative experiences often report that their experience or memories from the experience are ineffable, they are simply unable to find the words. If we could prove psi phenomena in laboratory settings (this has been done), but no one ever seemed to be able to use it to win the lottery or buy/sell stocks, would you say the same sort of thing? If this is real, why not use it for something useful? Well maybe that just isn't how reality works... Ultimately, whatever the reason is for all of this, it doesn't impact whether this is all real, it simply impacts our interpretation. I think that reality, and what comes after 'death', is far more nuanced, complicated, and confusing than we can begin to imagine.
@@UnravellingTheUniverse Right. The basic thing here is that we have a phenomenon but we don't know what the interpretation really is, and we don't know what the "agency" involved really is. Is this actually reincarnation or is it a kind of "splash" created by a violent death that somehow makes it over the normal tide walls into another life's starting space? We just don't know at this point. There are interesting ways we might consider testing those things however.
One idea (and it's pure speculation obviously), is that at the young age which these children can still recall their past lives, the brain is too undeveloped to be able to go in the depth or direction of what you are mentioning (eg. "there is life after death!"). In other words, the memories still have to work within the constraints of the physical brain of which these memories can be expressed through language and speech. I haven't watched the full video, but i believe I read most of the children forget their past lives once they grow past a certain age? Maybe the residual memories from the past life only last for a set number of years, and unfortunately those early years are in a body with a highly undeveloped brain, thus limiting the capacity for expression and discussion. I mean at 4 or 5 you are very limited in the way you talk about anything at all. The universe really works in mysterious ways, surprises me more and more everyday.
I think that sums it up perfectly, we are limited by our biological brain. Some theories are that the soul is not yet fully integrated with the body until ages 7 or so, when past life memories start to fade. There also seems to be a buffer or filter from the other side that limits our awareness in general while in physical form.

Thank you for making this interview! Your questions were on point. That's the first time I heard about Jim and his work is really impressive. Finally there is some kind of continuation to the work that was done by Michael Newton who used hypnotherapy for analysis of past lives and lives between lives and wrote several books on that. Unfortunately, Michael passed away several years ago and I am being skeptical to the works of people who claim to use his techniques of hypnosis while at the same time offering services of "quantum healing" etc. Will definitely read Jim's books to get another view at this phenomena
Thank you @inedex! Very happy to hear that you enjoyed the interview and my questions. So glad to have been able to introduce you to Jim - his work is really impressive indeed. I am also sceptical of claims made while under hypnosis. Great call on reading Jim's books - they will not disappoint. Hope you enjoy reading them, and continue to enjoy this channel!
Nice interview, thanks -) Been following J.Tucker's job for quite a while. All this information/cases/discoveries coincide perfectly with oldest (earliest) buddhist teachings which give quite a lot of details on the topic (it survived in texts known as Pali Canon). I'll mention some, discussed in the inverview. 1) there are no "new souls", all "souls" come from an "undetectable beginning", that is, every person has had infinite lives before present one. However, the aim to stop this process completely, once and for all, is the very essence of what Buddha taught. 2) there are rebirths between different realms, of which there are 5 major ones: hell, ghosts, animals, humans, gods (last one is huge and has many layers of subtlety up to the point where one exists only in the form of mind, so called formless realm). 3) Ignorance, craving to exist, craving to feel, and personal "karma" ("mental force" that mind accumulates by intentional deeds) are that drive behind rebirth process. Karma hugely affects one's future in a form of "what you seed you will eventually harvest" and may cover one or even several lifetimes and is the key determinant of a realm in which you are born (yes, people do go to hells and heavens according to the Buddha; yes, a snake or a chimpanzee can become a human; vice versa too (hello, our old friends and relatives in forms of cats and dogs) and, being a law of nature, karma works "automatically" as a gravity, for example 4) one is capable to personally remember many previous lives one had, but this requires tons of effort in mind purification practice and mind strengthening meditation (actually Buddha said he achieved this, as well as many of his monk-followers; almost impossible to achieve by a layman, so all these modern "mindfulness retreats" hardly will help). One can get more details from Pali Canon texts - a lot of nice translations over there online.

Thank you for this incredible information. I wonder if there have been accounts of multiple consciousnesses (for instance a husband and wife) which planned their reincarnation at the same time, so they could have a relationship again in their new life?
Thank you for your comment - glad you enjoyed the interview and found it informative! Really interesting thought which I've also pondered. I think it's quite likely, or at least plausible, but I haven't come across any cases yet. For obvious reasons these cases would be rare & hard to verify.

"Life after (your) death does NOT exist because there is no way who you were before you died to persist after the chemical reactions in your brain and body come to an end." - What a load of nonsense. I didn't read the whole thing, but every bit that I read was nonsense. Charlie, you should actually watch some of my channel instead of just spamming it with these comments. You might learn something ;)
Hey’ are past lives also memories of family members that have passed away or are they about people that the child simply would have no way of obtaining these details.
There are lots of cases where children have memories of a family members life, but I believe there are even more cases where there was no connection. I’m not sure of the exact numbers, but even if we throw out all of the same family cases, we still have a large body of evidence that cannot be easily explained.
On the possession thing near 1h...Suppose we accept this case, like Jim says (which is pretty hard for me I have to say)...We do know that in Near Death Experiences many (most) do not entertain the thought of going back into the body. What if this happened with this one too? And the other stepped in and was allowed to take over? Hmmm.
Interesting thoughts Jay - thanks for sharing. You're right that during NDEs people often need to be encouraged back into their bodies. Could be something like this that happened in the account you're referring to, but alternatively it could be lots of other things too. I could speculate forever about these kinds of things! Reality is just so damn mysterious.
I'd be interested to hear a skeptical response. 2300 documentable cases of this phenomenon is honestly not a lot considering the population. I've been hearing about this since the 90s via Art Bell's show...you'd think it would've become more apparent and easier to document with the advent of social networking.
I’d be interested in a genuine skeptical response too. Not a classic 'don't need to look at the data because it can't be real, because it's impossible'. Not sure how anyone could dismiss the evidence here after looking at it in depth. 2,300-3,000 isn’t a lot considering there’s 8 billion of us on Earth, however, there are a lot of mitigating factors that can potentially explain this. It has become easier (still not easy) to document since social media, but also easier to fake or exaggerate, so it’s a double edged sword. In terms of explaining why so there are relatively so few cases: 1. Vast majority of people in the Western world are either atheist materialists, or follow one of many religions. The vast majority of that majority of the population are totally closed off to the possibility that reincarnation could actually happen. Due to this, signs of it would be ignored, dismissed, overlooked, misinterpreted, or intentionally silenced. It’s not even just that it would go against peoples own beliefs, but they would also be worried about being judged by friends / family / colleagues, & their community. Due to all of this, the vast majority of people would never call DOPS (or anyone else) to report a potential case. 2. There has only been a handful of serious researchers in this field, ever. Jim outlines how they track down cases in his book, but simply speaking the number of people that have been working on it isn’t compatible with significantly greater numbers of documented cases. 3. Maybe having a past life is normal, or even ubiquitous, maybe it’s the remembering it that is very rare. If remembering it is basically an anomaly, that could explain the low number of cases. 4. Despite the fact that DOPS is significantly more known now than 20 years ago, it is still not very well known at all throughout the greater population. Most people still think this stuff is just exaggerated tall tales. So, even an open-minded person that noticed their child sharing what could be past-life memories, still might have no clue what to do about it. 5. It’s like everything else, a minority of people actually report things. Like UFO sightings, and plenty of other more mundane things, I’m sure this goes massively underreported. Would you report it to DOPS if your child said some things that made you raise your eyebrows? Would your family do the same? Your friends? 6. Lots of the time these memories may only show through a couple of throwaway sentences. Maybe sometimes there are no statements or direct memories, maybe a child is simply obsessed by playing a specific game reminiscent of their previous career, or has a specific fear directly related to how their previous personality died, but due to the lack of statements the parents could never realise. How common is it that a parent would say 'oh she just really likes gardening (or cooking, reading, animals, etc)' about their young child. Could it be a previous life that pushes these passions to the forefront in early life? Maybe 🤷♂️ I could probably come up with more potential reasons and explanations, but I’ll leave it there for now. Hope it gave you some food for thought. Also, I wrote this in a bit of a hurry so hopefully it all makes sense, reads okay, and has minimal errors - hope you at least get the gist. Lastly, let’s remember all it takes is one. Out of these ~ 3,000 cases, only one would need to be actual reincarnation in order to prove that it can happen (and has happened). “In order to disprove the assertion that all crows are black, one white crow is sufficient.” - William James
I think you mean cases they researched (?) Unsure. research takes a lot of time, since it is not like climate science where 1000s are researching it but rather just a few it makes sense there are no more cases. Also reincarnation, at least from what I gathered from Jim is may be not the rule but the exception. He is surely not claiming that everyone reincarnates. He just does not know so can't suggest it.

The laws of the universe do not allow these particles to operate after our physical demise, according to Dr Carroll He said: “Claims that some form of consciousness persists after our bodies die and decay into their constituent atoms face one huge, insuperable obstacle: the laws of physics underlying everyday life are completely understood, and there's no way within those laws to allow for the information stored in our brains to persist after we die.” For his evidence, Dr Carroll points to the Quantum Field Theory (QFT). In simple terms, the QFT is the belief there is one field for each type of particle. For example, all the photons in the universe are on one level, and all the electrons too have their own field, and for every other type of particle too. Dr Carroll explains if life continued in some capacity after death, tests on the quantum field would have revealed "spirit particles" and "spirit forces”. Dr Carroll writes in the Scientific American: “If it's really nothing but atoms and the known forces, there is clearly no way for the soul to survive death. “Believing in life after death, to put it mildly, requires physics beyond the Standard Model. “Most importantly, we need some way for that ‘new physics’ to interact with the atoms that we do have. “Within QFT, there can't be a new collection of ‘spirit particles’ and ‘spirit forces’ that interact with our regular atoms, because we would have detected them in existing experiments.” Once this is accepted by all scientists, Dr Carroll says, then they can truly begin to understand how the human mind operated. He said: “There's no reason to be agnostic about ideas that are dramatically incompatible with everything we know about modern science. “Once we get over any reluctance to face reality on this issue, we can get down to the much more interesting questions of how human beings and consciousness really work.”
Great interview. Do you know if it ever happend that a child who suddenly dies returns to the same role in the same family? And do the children ever talk about a contract they agreed on?
Thank you - glad you enjoyed the interview! I am not sure what you mean exactly with "the same role in the same family" but there are some intriguing cases along those lines. I believe there are at least a couple of cases where a child dies either before or during birth, as a baby, or as a young child, and then the parents' next child seemingly remembers bits of the first child's life. Obviously these are harder to be sure of because the child may have overheard people talking about the deceased personality. I'll reference one case, outlined in Jim Tucker's book 'Before': Patrick, was Jim's first case. He just turned 5 when Jim met him with Ian Stevenson. Patrick had three birthmarks that appeared to match lesions on his deceased half brother, Kevin. Kevin had been born about 20 years before, and he began limping at 16 months old. The limping got worse, and he was in and out of hospitals, a few days later they found he had a broken leg (in 2 places). They put it in a cast, but it was so painful for him they took it off after a few days. At that point it was too painful for him to walk. He was hospitalised and for 2 weeks his parents were told he had leukaemia, and then that he didn't, and back and forth. Along with his swollen leg, his left eye was bulging and bruised, and he had a nodule above his right ear that might be a tumour. He had lots more tests and a biopsy of the nodule above his right ear (which confirmed a diagnosis of metastatic neuroblastoma), and they inserted a central line in the right side of his neck for the chemotherapy. That site became inflamed at times. Kevin returned to the hospital 6 months after his initial admission, he was blind in his left eye at that point, and there were signs that the cancer had infiltrated his bone marrow. He was discharged, and died two days later. Long separated from Kevin's father, his mother, Lisa, started dating a new man before Kevin got sick. They married following Kevin's death, and Lisa soon gave birth to a daughter, Sarah. The couple divorced after 4 years, and Lisa later remarried again. She had a 2nd son, Jason, and then, twelve years after Kevin died, gave birth to Patrick via C-section. Soon after Patrick's birth, Lisa noticed a white opacity covering Patrick's left eye, it shrunk after several weeks but did not completely disappear. While his vision was hard to assess due to his age, he was essentially blind in his left eye just had Kevin had been at the end of his life. Lisa also felt a lump on Patrick's head above his right ear, at the same location of the biopsy of Kevin's tumour. Patrick was also born with an unusual mark on his neck. A dark slanted line that was about 4mm long when Jim & Ian met him. It looked like a small cut, it was on the part of his neck where Kevin's central line had been inserted. One of the most inexplicable features of the case was that Patrick limped once he got old enough to walk. His unusual walking style matched the way Kevin had walked. He was still limping at the age of 5 even though he seemingly had no medical reason to do so. When Patrick was 4 years old he began talking about Kevin's life. The first thing he said was that he wanted to go to the other house. He seemed desperate to go there at times. Lisa asked why he needed to go back there and he said "Don't you remember, I left you there." Patrick continued to make various statements about things that he seemingly could not have known. He would say things at unpredictable times, and if Lisa tried to talk to him about Kevin, he usually wanted no part of it. Patrick asked Lisa if she remembered when he had surgery. She said he hadn't had surgery, but he said "sure I did, right here on my ear". Another time, Patrick became excited when he saw a photo of Kevin, he had never seen it before as Lisa didn't keep photos of Kevin up in the house. His hands shaking, Patrick said "Here is my picture. I've been looking for that." He was definite as he said, "that's me". He talked about a pet they used to have, where they used to live, and more specific events. This continued for years. A couple of years later, Patrick said to his mother "Do you know that you have a relative that no one talks about?" He described the relative, gave his name and description, and how he died. He said he had met him in 'heaven' before being born. Lisa knew nothing about any relative with the name given and matching the description, but after doing some digging she found that it was completely accurate. Anyway, there's much more to this case, but I've tried to type up a good summary. As previously mentioned, I suggest you read Jim Tucker's book, Before, to learn more about this case and many others. Link is in description. Never heard anything about any contracts being agreed upon or anything like that.
@@UnravellingTheUniverse You have no idea how much it means that you wrote all this down for me. I lost my 12 year old only child (son) this March. He was on his way to school when he got hit by a truck. I don't know what to do with myself anymore. I google all day and look for information about the afterlife, the universe, reincarnation, etc. I have a skeptic mind. I see so many things that make me intensely sad. People like Michael Newton and Richard Martini claim that through hypnosis it emerges that in the afterlife we choose this life. We would sign some kind of contract and agree to things like being sexually abused ourselves because we come here to learn lessons. I find myself very skeptical about hypnosis. I do notice that I have a lot of faith in Jim Tucker and Bruce Greyson. I think you did this interview very well. Indeed I wondered if a child reincarnate with the same mother. I don't dare to try getting pregnant again, it wouldn't be fair to the child, but it keeps me busy. Jim's book doesn't do claims like Michael and Richard did/does right? I spoke to a medium. Me being a skeptic.... I gave her a false email, name, and transfered the money through a friend. She new things she could never have known. Just don't know what to believe anymore. Thank you so much again! I really appreciate you taking the time to answer me 🧡
