https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-pPBwFFWz_k https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-pPBwFFWz_k Some children can remember exact & verifiable details of their prior life they never could have come to know in this their current child life. These details can be objectively and independently confirmed. Remarkably & quite biologically enigmatic: Some of them have birth marks and birth defects at very same locations as the lethal injury causing their often abrupt and violent past life death. Eg. Born with 5 missing fingers after a prior life accident where they were cut off... Birthmarks at the exact location where they got gunshot wounds in their prior life, which could be confirmed from the autopsy report of their deceased individuality. Furthermore: Some can speak a language they never have learnt in this life (xenoglossy) corresponding to their past life language & nationality. They can in some cases remember names of siblings and other family members in their past life family who they never have met in this life...

Is there a source on this that’s not YouTube hearsay?

This seems to be arbitrary and completely open to interpretation unless you can predict which child is going to result from a "previous life". e.g. if you see a birthmark, then you can just make up what injury could have "caused" it and go looking for a suitable previous life to link to and thus "explain" it. Also, I don't believe there's been any incidents of xenoglossy that have withstood any detailed examination.

All anecdotal and hard to verify definitively.

If reincarnation is real, I guess the afterlife faces a crisis due to the impending demographic crash here. The lines of souls awaiting reincarnation are about to get real long, as lots of people die of old age without people having children to ensure a fast return.

  I reckon they'll just go stuffing multiple souls into each baby. Has anyone tried counting the number of souls per body?

    If you watch certain tiktok channels too much, you open up space for more souls to enter. Seems to works best for younger girls though.

      Cool. I'm gonna seek out some extra souls and then do a roaring trade with some demons. "Why yes, I do currently own this soul, so it's MY soul, but not necessarily the one I was born with"

  We’re in a period of karmic-inflation, where any given soul will get you about 1/5th what it’d get you in the good old days. Nowadays you’d be lucky to die into a fish or bird - most of us are destined bugs, or industrial farm animals.

You're kidding, right? From the Wikipedia article: >there is no scientifically admissible evidence supporting any of the alleged instances of xenoglossy Followed by four separate research citations. You're peddling obvious pseudoscience quackery.
