From the book title above, you can see there is much research into children's memories of past lives.
One of the top books on past lives and near death experiences is Raymond Moody's "Life after Life".
There are many old religions which believe in reincarnation. The Dalai Lama is chosen from his remembrance of ealier incarnations.
There is such a thing as past life therapy for the curious or those on a spiritual journey.
This is my third blog on the afterlife. There will be at least one more. This is not a subject you can learn in five minutes.
Discovering your own spirituality could take some time. I found that Star Trek, Star Wars and The Twilight Zone helped me to expand my consciousness into past lives and other civilizations.
Scientology acknowledges that past deaths can produce lasting subconscious traumatic memories.
Both Christianity and Scientology embrace the principle of "The Way Out Is The Way Through" towards loss, suffering and pain on planet Earth. Jesus handled it on the cross on a massive cosmic level and Scientolgy handles it on a personal level.
From a medical standpoint, loss, pain and suffering is usually handled with painkillers, and psychiatric drugs.
The above is part of a materialistic belief system that's suppose to make all your troubles go away. Even death to many of these "one life experts" is a way of avoiding the problems of life by going unconsciousness, no accountability, no brain, no pain.
The loss of my wife and the pain of her death is very real to me. We all have to face experiences like that at some time in our life. Repressing memories, running away doesn't do any good.

At some point, we have to come to terms about what we've learned in life and whether we've learned anything from our mistakes. "There is nothing hidden that won't be disclosed or anything made secret that won't come to light".
