Edited from story by Tara MacIsaac, Epoch Times – May 17, 2014- http://tinyurl.com/nlrbcfl A 3-year-old boy in the Golan Heights region near the border of Syria and Israel said he was murdered with an axe in his previous life. He showed village elders where the murderer buried his body, and sure enough they found a man’s skeleton there. He also showed the elders where the murder weapon was found, and upon digging, they did indeed found an axe there. The boy was of the Druze ethnic group, and in his culture the existence of reincarnation is accepted as fact. His story nonetheless had the power to surprise his community. He was born with a long, red birthmark on his head. The Druse believe, as some other cultures do, that birthmarks are related to past-life deaths. When the boy was old enough to talk, he told his family he had been killed by a blow to the head with an axe. It is customary for elders to take a child at the age of 3 to the home of his previous life if he remembers it. The boy knew the village he was from, so they went there. When they arrived in the village, the boy remembered the name he had in his past life. A village local said the man the boy claimed to be the reincarnation of had gone missing four years earlier. His friends and family thought he may have strayed into hostile territory nearby as sometimes happens. The boy also remembered the full name of his killer. When he confronted this man, the alleged killer’s face turned white but he did not admit to murder. The boy then said he could take the elders to where the body was buried. In that very spot, they found a man’s skeleton with a wound to the head that corresponded to the boy’s birthmark. They also found the axe, the murder weapon. Faced with this evidence, the murderer admitted to the crime. The boy’s story was witnessed by Dr. Eli Lasch, who is best known for developing the medical system in Gaza as part of an Israeli government operation in the 1960s. Dr. Lasch, the only non-Druze, was present through this whole past life verification process. Lasch died in 2009, but before his passing he recounted these astounding events to German therapist Trutz Hardo, who tells the boy’s full story in his book, “Children Who Have Lived Before: Reincarnation Today”, along with other stories of children who seem to remember their past lives with verified accuracyThree-Year-Old Remembers Past Life, Identifies Murderer and Location of Body
Thanks to Joe.
I love stories about past lives and about near-death experiences. Although they can seem frightening, I find most of them to be both fascinating and reassuring. In this particular case, a mystery was solved and (if you believe in it) karmic balance was restored.
Maybe you've heard this one...
I think the many accounts of past lives are having an impact on us. The stories comfort the part of myself that is frightened of dying. I'm so glad to learn about this because it used to be kind of forbidden. When I was a kid, and I was curious about it, I used to hear about reincarnation but there was no one for me to talk about it with and the info wasn't as plentiful or easy to find as it is now. Plus, it was a far out concept from my catholic upbringing so it was hard to imagine it being true if only because it went against everything I was taught and that had a kind of social stigma to it. I remember getting a secret thrill when a person from a "Christian country" like the US would give an account of reincarnation and how it flew in the face of my restrictive upbringing. My neigborhood friends wouldn't tolerate discussions about it-they'd laugh and tease you. I had forgotten how I was more conservative in thought when I was a kid. It makes me angry to think religion tries to make people afraid of dying to gain power over them. That is a big insult to living a happy life and should be dodged like an angry bullet.
Tell ya what Brian, what you stated above, describes my almost exact experience and understanding, from days before, to the present. I was not catholic, I was Missouri Baptist, right in the thick of the belt. However, Catholics do not have exclusive rights to guilt and fear. Baptist have fire and brimstone and such of the likes and have no absolving of daily sins through confession. You just live with them. Anyway, yeah, I think, and have for maybe 15 yrs., reincarnation makes a lot more sense and is a hell of a lot less confusing too, lol. Plus it just kinna resonates better ... yup, that's it ...
