what does this have to do with reincarnation?
agradeceria ver algun webbinar o youtube para entender más vuestro programa.
I would apreciate to see a webbinar or any presentation by youtube, to understand deeply yr. program. thanks
thanks for a amazing video film for en 4 years boy who plays piano very well! but i do not believe in incarnation for this !
I know as a psychologist that children kan learn 7 languages in a very early age and they can be at the same time a object for manipulation for adults !!!! because they do not develope our complex mind !
so they can concentrate one task and do it well if they have high intelligence . IQ! Mortzart played music as a child too!!!! this guy has a fantastic musical talent. god bless him.
Some people just don’t want to believe anything that might imply there
is a higher intelligence at work in the universe than man (whose intelligence
i am questioning more and more every day, given the mess the world is in today).
This is not evidence for reincarnation. Furthermore, whoever wrote that it was, has made the usual errors of understanding that come from popular and simplistic notions about rebirth. Why would Mozart (assuming your implication is that it is he who has reincarnated in this exceptionally talented child), why should he wish to come back as a piano player/musician and almost relive what he already spent a previous incarnation doing, like some kind of Groundhog Day? You do Andrew Cohen’s domain no favours putting forth such ideas. Read Sri Aurobindo’s ‘The Problem of Rebirth’ and you might begin to understand.
I agree about the romantic and simplistic notions too many have regarding reincarnation. Study Rudolf Steiner as well as Sri Aurobindo. This video neither proves nor disproves reincarnation. Indeed we will not know what this gifted child’s life will unfold until many years hence.
A form of one dimensional – physical autism? Morphogenic resonance perhaps? Genetic memory? Collective unconscious? A robot boy? Or just plain old transmigration of a soul? Take your pick and you’re bound to be partially right.
I went through most of my early life ‘feeling’ the truth of reincarnation. It never became a reality for me however until more and more over time, I began to experience vivid and very strong, often emotionally cathartic and healing memories of past life experiences. These memories were relevant to what I was experiencing in this life.
Relevant to this video posted here, … in my own life, over the years I often experienced myself as more ‘recovering’ skills or knowledge that I carried within me, rather than ‘learning’ those skills. … Very often the remembering of such skills were ‘catalyzed’ for me by my witnessing perhaps a mentor or other demonstrating a particular skill for me. My experience was that as I observed, I innately understood what was being performed and how it worked. The result was that the practice of it came very quickly to me.
My experience has been that this experience of ‘remembering’ skills rather than learning them, becomes more and more easily and readily available, the more expanded or liberated ones consciousness becomes.
It would be great evidence for reincarnation if this was the first time the child have ever seen a keyboard. Otherwise, silly.
Certainly a thorough, sophisticated and Integral conversion about this little guy’s talent could include, but not be limited to reincarnation. Lots more to consider here in a comprehensive explanation.
While we know the time space continuum to be a human condition, I had the amazing experience of remembering someone from a “past life” at the same exact time as she remembered me. Very real, witnessed by others, and validated the feelings after only knowing each other for a short time, feeling like we’ve known each other forever.
This however, I wish we had more of a story to go along with it. I’d love to believe reincarnation was the case. But it could also be representative of a father putting extreme demands on his son.
I wanted to share my finally “almost proving” reincarnation to myself during the broadcast this Saturday but wasn’t called on. Years ago, I had a memory of a life I lived with George Gershwin (as a man ~ I’m a woman now) in which I realized a secret he had. For many years, I searched for evidence of the secret to get evidence for reincarnation, without success. (I did go to New York and absolutely recognized a building he lived in, though). Finally after many years, last year in 2011, I googled my search and found: “It was such a carefully guarded secret that this is the first time you will hear it,” and it gave Gershwin’s secret that I knew from a past~life memory! I don’t want to share the secret now, because he might not have wanted me to (although it is out there on the web, now). But there’s probably no way I could have known it if I didn’t live that life ~ and I can still get mad at another friend of his! One argument against reincarnation is that it’s “wishful thinking” that we were once a famous person ~ I did first wonder if I was him, but what this shows is it’s only that person in this life that “reminds us” of that life, when we were only someone in their orbit, and I was an arrogant, conceited man then, not at all attractive, so it wasn’t wishful thinking. (As karma would have it, I have learned humility in this life!) ~~Sylvia
Yes, I’m believed in reincarnation. I have never learned how to paint in my life. My parents did not encourage me to do any kind of painting when I was young. When I’m growing up, I became a mathematics high school teacher in my country and then a business woman in USA…Three years ago, I had a crisis in my life, I felt that I could not get it through…one day, I just woke up in the middle of a night and just held a chalk and drew a beautiful leaf in 15 minutes…then…I kept painting every Sunday after that day, to release my feeling/stress…pastel, water color, and then oil color…I could use them all without any experience or learning…I believe that I was an artist before my current life.
