Reincarnation & Preservation of Past Life Personalities Within the Soul

In xenoglossy cases, is it is often found that the past life personality presents completely intact, to the extent that the past life personality doesn’t even know that he or she is dead. These types of cases demonstrate that the soul has the ability to retain past life personalities within it.

Though the following case does not involve xenoglossy, it does demonstrates how a past life personality can emerge intact. The initial researcher who published the case was named Krishanand.

A Boy Finds his Way to his Past Life Home and Wife

In this case, a boy suddenly and unexpectedly started to relive the life of a man in a nearby city. The child told his parents where he had lived before. When his parents took him to the city that he named, the child found his way to his former home and he recognized a woman living there as his wife.

After finding his home and wife from his past incarnation, the child then told this woman specific details of their life together, which she verified as true. The boy then told the woman where he had buried some money. She followed the boy’s instructions and indeed found the money.

While the boy and his parents were still in the woman’s home, he suddenly come out of this past life episode and was puzzled to find himself in a completely unfamiliar home. There were no further episodes.
