Birthmarks - Clues to another life?
There are many children born with birthmarks on their bodies, however, although there are many studies related to birthmarks, they are still a big question for us.
1. Birthmarks from previous lives
Whether birthmarks reveal a person's past life or not is still a controversial issue. The story was recently revived when someone said that wherever they were injured in their previous life, they had a birthmark in that same location right from birth.
For example, people with birthmarks on their chest or head, places that are dangerous to their lives, may have been injured in this location in their previous life and died. Or besides that, birthmarks are also a way for relatives from previous lives to mark each other to easily find each other in future lives.
The field of genetics is still constantly searching for information but has not found a rule of formation, a specific reason to explain birthmarks, moles or more seriously, congenital malformations on the human body at birth.
Meanwhile, according to physiognomy, the location of birthmarks and moles on the skin is related to the owner's destiny. That is why people tell fortunes by birthmarks, some birthmarks or moles have bad predictions but some birthmarks or moles bring luck to the owner.
The biggest question that people wonder is why birthmarks appear in this place and not another place, this color and not another color. And those who believe in reincarnation have come up with their own explanation that it is because in their previous life they were physically impacted in this location, so it remains until they are reborn in this life.
When talking about the connection between birthmarks and past lives, people often mention the research of Dr. Ian Stevenson (1918 - 2007) - a doctor who spent most of his time researching the theory of reincarnation and trying to give an explanation and conclusion for this miraculous connection.
While many people do not believe in reincarnation, they think that death is the end, Buddhism emphasizes karma, reincarnation, past lives, and future lives. According to him, birthmarks on the body are the missing link in validating the theory of reincarnation.
He cited that individuals who can provide evidence of their existence in a previous life often have very clear birthmarks related to some events in their previous life.
Accordingly, he believes that not only emotions and memories but also physical injuries on the body in the form of birthmarks can be retained from one life to the next. That is, if someone has an injury from a previous life, it is very likely that the injury will become a birthmark in this life.
The basis for him to confirm this information is based on research on 10,623 cases of reincarnation and reincarnation.
Recently, the phrase “Hypnosis of Past Life Regression” has become very hot on the internet, especially among young people who are naturally curious and inquisitive. That's it
2. Some mysterious stories related to birthmarks
Many places believe in birthmarks from past lives, so they often find ways to "mark" family members or some people who have practiced but have not yet attained enlightenment in one life, so they will have to continue practicing in the next life. At that time, the master or they themselves will leave a mark on the body, so that they can find each other in the next life through this mark.
In fact, there are many stories about mysteries related to birthmarks and past lives that have stirred public opinion for a long time.
The birthmark was once a bullet wound
Among Dr. Stevenson's 10 works, “The Causes of Birthmarks and Congenital Deformities” presents in-depth research on the issue of birthmarks.
In it, he tells of a boy named Maha Ram in India who remembered being murdered in his previous life. Following the boy’s information, Dr. Stevenson sought the autopsy results of the man who was said to be his previous life.
Surprisingly, although the two had never met or known each other, the birthmark on the boy’s chest was very similar to the wound on the other man.
Birthmark Disappears When Remembering Past Life
Karen Kubiko posted two photos to compare her high school years and her present life. In the old photo, she had a birthmark on her neck, but the new photo did not have the birthmark.
She said that in 2011, she suddenly remembered that in a previous life, she was Helen, a woman who was shot in the neck by a stray bullet and died in 1927. Therefore, the birthmark left on her neck was where the bullet had hit Helen in her previous life. After she remembered these things, the birthmark gradually disappeared.
Boy finds his killer in his previous life
A BBC program once recorded a true story about a boy born with a birthmark on his temple that looked exactly like a scar caused by an injury. The 7-year-old boy kept telling his parents that he was an adult and had been shot dead in the Agra area, claiming to be the owner of Suresh Radios.
The year he was born, a murder took place 13km away, no one saw the murderer, leading to the case remaining unsolved for many years. The boy's father said that his youngest son Titu started talking about his "other home" when he was two and a half years old, saying that his name was Suresh Verma, his wife was Uma, and that he had two children, Roru and Soru, and that his parents were there. Notably, he had a birthmark on his right side that matched the location of the wound where Suresh was shot and the same size, and a birthmark on his left temple that matched the bullet wound. His brother followed Titu's story to Agra and found a shop called Suresh Radios. The owner of the shop was Uma - whose husband had been shot dead a few years ago. Titu's brother was surprised by the information that matched exactly what his brother had said. Titu's emotions and memories carry the image of his family in his past life, and the "twin birthmark" he bears also confirms the connection between his past and present. Titu accurately described how Suresh was shot to death, which matched what Uma saw later and the police investigation. The police restarted the investigation and the murderer was eventually arrested.
The boy's past life was his grandmother
In Thailand, there was an old woman who wished to become a boy in her next life before she died.
The daughter used white glue to mark her grandmother's neck, thinking that if she met her again in the future, she would easily recognize her. Some time later, she gave birth to a baby boy with the exact white mark on the back of his neck as the white glue mark she had made on his mother's neck.
When the boy learned to speak, he claimed that the things that belonged to his deceased grandmother were his. These stories provide further evidence of reincarnation. Birthmarks or other physical defects on our bodies may be related to memories from past lives. However, the real explanation for these strange birthmarks remains an open question.
