The James Leininger Reincarnation Case: Real or a Process of Memory Transfer?
Theories of Reincarnation May Get Superseded by a Greater Concept Behind a Past Life
With that irrefutable fact, we can't write off the possibility of at least a variation of reincarnation happening within the fabric of time.
What that variation may be has potential to create a schism among those who hold steadfast to the surface-level evidence of reincarnation being real. It's the possibility of thought transfer where the memories of a person who died many years ago happen to enter the consciousness of a new generation child. How does that happen without being classified as direct reincarnation? The seeming difference is in the soul of each person remaining unique while the transferred thoughts are akin to a forgotten recording left behind to be played through another vessel.
It's that very subtle difference that'll help us understand what's really going on here. When you get into the mechanics of why it's happening, the only way to explain it is through a seeming profound design. Evidence of it comes in so many cases of children remembering past lives that both ended too soon and had something in those lives unresolved. Perhaps if these children were recalling the memories of people who had full lives, there'd be more suspicion on what information these kids were assimilating. Yet every single case made available in the media in past decades has a boy or girl recalling memories of someone who died tragically or too young while leaving behind unfinished, personal business.
In a lot of cases, it usually relates to passing on a sense of closure over an issue to a loved one--namely, a significant other or offspring. With the more recent publicized case of James Leininger, we have a little boy who recalls the life of a WWII pilot by the name of James Huston, Jr. who happened to be shot down and killed over Iwo Jima in 1945. The evidence might be enough when Leininger was able to recall every morsel of detail about Huston's life as a pilot in WWII, his death and names of everyone he knew. Even so, this case was more unusual in that Huston apparently didn't leave behind a family or a deep-seeded unresolved issue where a message could be imparted.
Instead, the rhyme and reason behind this case seems to be simply keeping the memory alive that a young fighter pilot in WWII sacrificed his life for America's freedoms.
It's a strong enough piece of evidence giving a reasoning for why our personal concept of a higher power would possibly allow the memories of someone decades earlier to enter the mind of a young, innocent kid many years later.

Should the scientific community make headway in determining there is something to memory transfer, they'd obviously find a way to prove it was happening through the process of unknown nature. Trying to prove or disprove it, as we know, gets into profound territory in determining an intelligent design behind its patterns. What it does tell us is that there appears to be plenty we don't know that wasn't told to the human race through the world's major religions. But then every indication is there it may have been designed deliberately that way so we'd have to work it out under our own volition for the sake of the joy in human discovery. If you've read me often, you'll know I also connected the same idea toward why the evolution v. creation and abortion issues weren't directly mentioned in the Christian bible.
If the process of memory transfer has been a reality in the minds of select newborns for time immemorial, we have plenty to deduce from in determining the missing pieces without automatically taking a literal approach to reincarnation. One of the most significant pieces of evidence is in the phenomena of a child having to endure the memories of someone they never knew and inevitably getting their parents to seek out what their child obsessively keeps talking about. Many cases before the Leininger case had children so solidly convincing their parents they were someone else in a past life that there was always an investigation leading to a connection with someone associated with the departed person.
Just in the last year of this writing, the people who knew Huston, Jr. met up with James Leininger and became awed at his ability to recall every morsel of Huston's life. It's the track record of success in emotionally connecting these people almost every time that gives us a good, solid reason why it's happening through a process of design. When it involves re-connecting with long-lost relatives (namely offspring), there's always a sense of mission accomplished and usually followed by another case not long after.
Yes, the echoes of unfinished business in the annals of past time are obviously and overwhelmingly enormous where the process of selection in how to provide closure is an overwhelming concept on its own. We're, of course, thinking in human terms when pondering it happening from a higher realm. That's the biggest mystery if thought transfer is actually happening and being controlled: Why are certain people chosen over someone else from an overwhelming timeline to have their thoughts transplanted into another person?
We obviously can't know, other than knowing most of the cases are of ordinary people who had compelling stories behind them that have every reason for needing to be resolved. Notice kids aren't picking up the thoughts of notable people in history. What that tells us is that if the process is part of intelligent design, a deep love and respect for ordinary humanity exists to prevent worthy people from being forgotten by the forgetfulness of human memory and time.
As with the Huston/Leininger case, we also have a new case of merely remembering a forgotten hero in WWII where so many forgotten heroes still rest in their graves. We may start seeing more cases similar that could ultimately prove history is more important in the fabric and direction of life than most human beings have recently made it.

Post a CommentThis opens up great possibilities for debate. Personally, while I'm not completely sold on the idea of reincarnation, I have visited a number of places and realized that while I had never physically been there, I knew all about them, down to details that are not part of the "tourist info package"--clearly meaning I had been there before, but was it a past life or, as you said, thought transfer?
I have read theories of deja vu that suggest a link with reincarnation, but I honestly believe the Hindu version of it pretty much has to be bunk. Like ghosts, I'll believe in reincarnation when I see it, but I haven't yet seen any evidence to the contrary.
