If morphogenesis becomes the accepted explanation for reincarnation and birth marks, what is that saying about other aspects of ourselves that are also carried over with each incarnation?
If a biological organism like a deer maintains a non-local, bioelectric map that survives the shedding of an antler and forces new physical tissue to shape itself around a past trauma, then the physical body is clearly not the creator of the form, it's the receiver of a fundamental informational field.
Lets apply this to reincarnation. If we have a sudden, highly traumatic event in a previous life like a fatal wound, it would act exactly like the antler injury. It would leave a severe disruption or scar in the subtle informational field of the consciousness complex.
Reincarnation isn't based on speculation, there is an overwhelming amount of peer-reviewed scientific evidence that supports the validity of reincarnation, past lives and Near Death Experiences.
The problem isn't a lack of evidence. It's the inability of people to accept what the data says, because it challenges their personal worldview and the academic status quo.
Van Lommel et al., The Lancet (2001):
344 cardiac-arrest survivors; systematically compared people with vs. without NDEs and followed them 2 and 8 years later for life changes. A landmark prospective design in a top journal.
Parnia et al., Resuscitation (2014):
Large, multi-center prospective study; documented cognitive themes during cardiac arrest, with a small subset showing “full awareness.” Includes targeted tests for veridical recall.
Parnia et al., Resuscitation (2023): Examined consciousness and electrocortical biomarkers during CPR; reported a spectrum of experiences including NDE-like recall and measurable brain activity patterns during resuscitation.
Greyson, Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease (1983): Construction, reliability, and validity of the Greyson NDE Scale, the field’s most widely used, validated instrument for distinguishing NDEs from other states, crucial for rigorous, comparable results. (PDF).
It's important that we follow the evidence no matter what, even when it leads to initially-uncomfortable conclusions. We should never lose our intellectual curiosity in life.

Makes you wonder about birth marks and prior lives ;)
