@isadora2021 —Have you read the books on reincarnation by Ian Stevenson, MD and Jim Tucker, MD, both of the University of Virginia? This isn’t woo-woo but accounts of ongoing research into children who spontaneously recall previous lives.
Convincing, but I wouldn’t say I totally believe it. It does cheer me up, tho’. They have some fascinating case reports.

@5148branelly I'm about halfway through "Journey of Souls: Case Studies of Life Between Lives" by Dr. Michael Newton. Started out being very intriguing, now I'm not so sure... reading more like a novel. He (Dr. Newton) died (this time?) in 2016, and I'm wondering if he's still out there someplace.

@5148branelly Very interesting! Interesting to read on the internet what these 2 parapsychologists pioneered in seeking to research scientifically the statements of some very young children. (I’ve personally never come across such a young child).

I’ve tried to find scientific peer reviews of their parapsychology research (eg by Mayo Clinic or Cleveland Clinic etc) but can’t find those. I’d prefer to read those I think by people better placed to assess their research.
I am also aware some religions have reincarnation as a central element of their belief system.

Yes it might be wonderful if reincarnation in some form happens, but the idea of eternal rest works for me too!
