In it, he studied 187 cases of children who not only had psychological recall from their previous lifetimes but also bore marks on their bodies in the form of birthmarks, which replicated wounds of death in their previous incarnations. It was as if consciousness had been traumatized in such a way that it not only imprinted on the subsequent mind but also on the body of that mind. After examining this data extensively, I think what it tells us is that we have information in our minds that predates this body.
