Meet child psychiatrist Jim Tucker, MD in the 1st part of his interview. As seen in the Netflix series Surviving Death, he reveals children's' accounts of remembering their past lives. Children give details about a past life that verifiably match the life of someone who lived and died in the past. Jim received his medical degree in psychiatry from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is the Bonner-Lowry professor of psychiatry and neurobehavioral sciences at the University of Virginia and the director of the UVA Division of Perceptual Studies. ➤RESOURCES Jim Tucker's Book: https://www.jimbtucker.com/ Division of Perceptual Studies: https://med.virginia.edu/perceptual-studies/ Free Worksheet: https://www.YourTruthRevealed.com ➤SUMMARY What have you discovered in your combined 50 years of research? · We and our colleagues have studied over 2,500 cases. · Many of the children have given details that have been verified to match the life of a deceased person, someone unknown to the child’s family. · Many of the children display behaviors and emotions that are consistent with their purported memories. · We now have good evidence that some young children have memories from a life in the past. · Consciousness is primary, inhabits a physical brain. Comes before and goes on after life. · The personality is one manifestation of the consciousness. Can you please tell listeners about the past life memory of James Leininger? · We determine what happened — what the child has said and how the parents have reacted. Whether the child’s statements match the life of a particular deceased person. · James called himself the third James. · Nightmares waking up screaming, “Airplane crash on fire, little man can’t get out.” · Dad asked, “Who shot your plain down?” And James said the Japanese with the big red sun. He said the boat’s name was Natoma. His friend was Jack Larson. He pointed to a photo of Iwa Jima island, “That’s where my plain got shot down.” · Dad found the report that the ship Natoma had been at Iwa Jima. · James’ dad was in shock. How could he know this? Jack A. Larsen was the assistant artisan’s officer aboard Natoma bay. · When James was 6 years old, he described how they made Napalm bombs. · In the early 2000s, they went to a Natoma Bay reunion. Dad learned there was only one pilot killed in the battle of Iwa Jima and from a particular squadron, James Huston Jr. · Anne Huston (Baron) was James Huston’s sister and they met. She said she completely believed it. · James Leininger remembered his past life as World War II pilot James Huston. I’ve heard that some children have birth marks related to their past life, is this correct? · Birth marks and birth defects can match fatal wounds on the previous person. · A gunshot wound where the bullet went in and out of the body. · At birth, Patrick had a slanting birthmark with the appearance of a small cut on the right side of his neck—the same location of Kevin’s central line—a nodule on his scalp above his right ear as Kevin’s biopsied tumor had been, and an opacity in his left eye, diagnosed as a corneal leukoma, that caused him, like Kevin, to have very little vision in that eye. · When he began walking, he limped, favoring his left leg. How are parents impacted by their child’s past life memories? · Parents will try to get their kids to stop talking about it. · The child may cry to go to an old place and old family. It can be irritating to the parent. Do past life memories in children occur mostly in the East where reincarnation is accepted? · There are young children all over the world who say they remember a past life. · All continents except for Antarctica(?). · Some Christian parents in the US have no trouble adding it to their belief system. · 25% of Christians believe in eternal life. Why does your research focus on children rather than adults?
