I have had experiences that I could interpret
as traces of a past life, but if one lives in a culture where
it is taken for granted -- much as many Americans take Heaven for
granted -- such experiences cannot be trusted entirely, but are
nevertheless suggestive. I think people around the world have such things happen to them but unless their expectations are clued, they dismiss them.
The
claims just can't be tested scientifically any way I can think of.
Therefore a rational person has to withhold belief, and leave it as an
opinion that it seems likely, and no more.
I will
say though that a universe where sentience is like electric charge or
energy -- preserved but constantly changing -- the idea sure makes
sense. It is way too easy, though, to go overboard here -- this is
speculation since no one knows what sentience might be or where it might
came from (although actually much the same can be said of electric
charge or of energy).
