The core remembers the previous birth or births but it is normally sealed so that in new life the soul does not reveal the karma of a man. However for some reason this is sometimes revealed by a child in his child hood where one may remember the past life.
Now a few of the experiments conducted by noted scientists will be narrated to explain what characteristics the new body got from the core or core and attachment.
Case-1 (Condensed)
A girl of three years talked to her mother saying, I have better sarees (a long cloth wrapped around the waist by Indian ladies) with me at Kanpur. She also told her grandmother that she will get her treated by her doctor. At that stage she insisted that she should be taken to Kanpur. When she was taken to Kanpur she recognized her father of past birth and all the relatives from the album she was shown.
On the way to Kanpur she also described that her body was thrown in a steel trunk and got entangled in the iron girders of the bridge.
She was then taken to Hardoi (a small city in Up in North India) where she recognized her rented house and the wife of the land lord. She recognized the rooms and how she had been using those rooms in her past life. (Names have been omitted to avoid any

When a man is declared dead, the soul of the dead man leaves the body. Then he is clinically declared dead. At this stage the dead body has no soul inside the body. Some roaming soul with attachment got a chance to enter the dead body making the body alive. People often confuse that the same body has become alive. It is true that the same body has become alive but with a different soul. This in Hindu mythology is termed as "Par Kaya Pravesh". (That is the situation when a body remains the same where one soul was living and for some reason has left the body making the person die. Then a roaming soul enters this body with full

    Aparna is a traditional Bengali housewife that had been transplanted to the United States. When the story begins, the reader can’t help but to feel sorry for the loneliness that Aparna must be feeling. She is in a country which thrives on a culture that is very different from the one which she is familiar with. Her husband is engulfed by his work and Aparna is left to entertain herself daily. She has few friends in the United States and nothing to occupy her time. Lahiri writes “…I would return from school and find my mother with her purse in her lap and her trench coat on, desperate to escape the apartment where she had spent the day alone.” As the plot continues, the reader is given hope…

    Among the numerous lessons that Thich Nhat Hanh expresses in his book Essential Writings, perhaps his most intriguing is the query into our perception of birth and death. While many would find it peculiar to doubt the inevitability of such a topic, especially those within predominantly non Buddhist religions, Hanh argues that there is no birth or death, rather only continuation. Through the practice of meditation, more specifically seeing the “interbeing” or the interconnectedness between oneself and their surroundings, one can be liberated from the dogma of birth and death. Han’s perspective carries additional emphasis as it provides comfort when thinking about death, in addition to its emphasis of appreciating life in its present form.…

    These larger questions of the soul and the mind and their existence beyond human death has been debated and explored throughout time. Yet, we lack hard evidence to support the idea of the existence of the soul and its continued ‘life’ beyond the death of the body. Individuals have not returned from the grave to transmit this knowledge in any manner that can be tested, studied, and deemed true. What a soul is and why we have it is unique to the human experience. The Abrahamic traditions defines the soul as the “I” that lives within our body and acts through it. The soul is what makes each individual unique according to theologian Thomas Aquinas. Noted philosophers Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, all argued that the psyche or, the soul, was the “crown of the logical facilities”. Yet the mind is responsible for processing our human experiences and storing them as learned experiences that shape and mold our continued existence.…

    When we conclude that knowledge is recollected through the forms rather than taught, we must understand what this recollection of past knowledge means in the way of the possible immortality of the soul. This theory of recollection is supported by the argument that prior to birth the soul exists in an alternate world where it acquires knowledge of the forms. At birth however, this knowledge of the forms that the soul carries is lost. We can then understand that…

    I step off the train in Bombay, India. I look down at my feet where I notice my feet covered in dust from the dirty ground that resides beneath me. The dust is swirling around my ankles like a quiet storm and it is then that I notice the quiet around me. So small and tugging at the very bottom of my shirt is how I first noticed her. She is a young, quiet girl and she is staring up at me – dead on. She is begging for attention. At first, I am not sure what to make of her. I look at her, long. I cannot help but notice her protruding stomach and her jutting bones that signal both starvation and desperation. Her clothes are ragged, and ripped, and they make life’s appreciation become real. I glance around and see hundreds of both children and adults looking the same way. She pulls her hands to her mouth signaling she is hungry and asking for food. It was then, in a mere moment, life seized around me.…

    The belief in reincarnation provided as a form of social control by forcing people to want to be reborn into a higher class, therefore keeping the people willing to obey. In the Hinduism culture, those who were higher in the caste system were supposedly able to be enlightened in their lifetime. People in lower parts of the caste system had to wait to be reborn into a higher caste. The way to be reborn into a higher caste is to have good karma. The actions in one's lifetime determine the type of karma is given to the soul;…
