When I was a kid, I would just,
out of nowhere, start saying things.
Things like, "Mom, in my last life
I was shot down and killed."
Suzanne Ghanem identified
25 different relatives of her prior life.
And their relationship.
There was literally no explanation
of how Om Seti knew the things she knew,
of how she understood the ancient language,
how she predicted the placement of ruins under the ground.
You have thousands of reports
of reincarnation.
So one has to wonder whether there is something behind that.
Did extraterrestrials come to Earth
and tweak the human body to serve as a vehicle for the soul?
And if so,
what is the purpose?
Lafayette, Louisiana.
2001.
Aside from having an unusual obsession with airplanes
and World War II,
James Leininger was, by all accounts,
a normal three-year-old.
That is, before he began having
a strange recurring nightmare.
I would have these nightmares,
and it would be just me kicking and screaming,
me with my legs physically in the air,
kicking up at the ceiling, screaming,
"Plane crash on fire, little man can't get out."
And that was every night for almost a year.
And then I would just, out of nowhere, start saying things.
Things like "Mom, in my last life
I was shot down and killed."
James would draw elaborate
airplane dogfight scenes.
He also seemed to have an eerie and inexplicable knowledge
of World War II aircraft,
right down to their components.
This is a drawing I did when I was, when I was much younger.
And this is one of the ones I signed "James 3."
My dad asked me one day, "Why do you sign it 'James 3'?"
And I just turned to him and simply said,
"'Cause I'm the third James."
I was the junior, junior.
And then, one day, my father asked me
the name of the ship that I was on and I said, "Natoma."
After doing some research,
James' father found that there was, in fact,
an aircraft carrier named the USS Natoma Bay (CVE 62).
The boy could also indicate on a map
the exact location of where the plane
he claimed to be flying went down.
In Chichijima, Japan.
Eventually, my father found a ship roster.
And they went down the line
and saw names that they had recognized that I had said.
And then they came to James.
James McCready Huston.
This man was killed
when he was shot down over the island Chichijima.
While James Leininger's memories
of his so-called past life remained vivid in his youth,
they began to fade as he became an adult.
But what he is able to remember still brings back
powerful emotions.
My memories of James Huston
and the things that he underwent
have mostly all but gone.
I can remember this one snapshot.
You...
I'm sorry.
And you hear, you just hear this, this crackling.
And it's just this loud banging and this distant just...
And you can see these black dots in the sky.
You look up.
And eventually you see this plane start to come down.
And it hits the water.
And it's black after that.
You don't hear anything. You don't see anything.
It's just... it's done.
Although mainstream science
widely dismisses the concept of reincarnation,
leading academic institutions,
such as the University of Virginia,
Duke University,
and the University of British Columbia,
have entire departments devoted to its study.
And, according to their research,
a mounting body of evidence suggests
that the ability of some to vividly recall past lives
may, in fact, be a real occurrence.
You have thousands of reports.
So one has to wonder whether there is something behind that.
There are studies that have been made on these things,
and I wonder how long it'll be until mainstream science
agrees with the idea that something happens to us
after death.
The basic idea of reincarnation is that, upon your death,
your soul departs your body.
You go to your version of heaven
and then you come down into a new body.
An easy way to understand this
is that you can upload files from your computer
to the cloud
and then download files to a new computer.
But while scientists are just beginning
to entertain the notion that reincarnation
may be a real occurrence,
the idea of a soul leaving one human body
and entering another can be traced back thousands of years,
to the very beginning of Egyptian civilization.
Turin, Italy.
On display at the Egyptian Museum
is the Turin King List, or Royal Canon,
which dates back to the 13th century BC.
The papyrus includes a list
detailing the ancient Egyptian rulers,
extending back to the very start of Egyptian civilization.
We see all the timelines, and all the kings were there,
but the first two groups of names
on that list...
were gods,
the gods of Egypt,
who they believed ruled before the kings.
Although scholars fully accept
the chronology from the rule of King Menes onward,
they discount the time before his reign around 3000 BC,
a time when these alleged gods ruled over Egypt.
One of the first names to be found on the list
is the god Osiris.
Osiris was depicted as a human-like god.
He had human features.
But one of the most curious things about Osiris
is that he was shown with green skin.
Osiris is thought to have come from
the star system Orion originally.
And was part of a group of extraterrestrials
that came to Earth.
What's interesting about the ancient Egyptian gods
is they could also die.
They weren't necessarily immortal.
And when the god Osiris died,
centuries ago according to Egyptian mythology,
he was reborn
as his own son, Horus.
And Horus became a physical incarnation on Earth.
And it is believed by the ancient Egyptians
that all the pharaohs became gods incarnate.
And once one particular pharaoh died,
the spirit would then go into the next pharaoh.
And so on, and so on.
So this, this cycle of reincarnation continued.
In the ancient Egyptian creation mythology,
the god Ptah
came from Sirius and fashioned the human body.
We have to ask the question:
did extraterrestrials come to Earth
and tweak the human body to serve as a vehicle for the soul?
If the stories of the Egyptian gods
incarnating into human bodies are true,
do all humans possess souls that have been passed down
from the beginning of mankind,
and may have originated
beyond Earth?
Perhaps further clues can be found
by examining recent case studies into past lives
that scientists find too remarkable to dismiss.
Charlottesville, Virginia, 1967.
Renowned psychiatrist Dr. Ian Stevenson
launches the Division of Personality Studies
at the University of Virginia,
making it one of the first educational institutions
to devote serious research into the study of reincarnation.
Over his 40-year career,
Dr. Stevenson extensively studied more than 3,000 cases
of individuals who reported past life memories.
And he was able to objectively validate the claims being made
in an astounding 1,200 instances.
The body of work by Ian Stevenson
is exceptionally credible.
It's painstakingly documenting instances of things
that are suggestive of reincarnation.
Now, what makes a case credible is that the person
has specific knowledge that they couldn't possibly have.
Dr. Stevenson traveled
throughout the world to meet with people
claiming to have knowledge of their past lives.
You are now fully relaxed.
He used various methodologies,
including hypnosis, to obtain pertinent details
from his subjects, and then would set out
to authenticate and document the evidence.
One of his most striking case studies was Suzanne Ghanem,
who was born in Richmond, Virginia in 1963.
She insisted from a young age that in her previous life
she had been Hanan Monsour, a Lebanese women
who had passed away just ten days before Suzanne was born.
At the age of two, she shared with her parents
the name of Hanan's husband and her three children,
and later scribbled a phone number on a scrap of paper.
Dr. Stevenson would discover
that the number matched the Monsours' home phone number,
except that the last two digits were reversed.
Suzanne Ghanem
holds the record for being able to identify
relatives of her prior life.
She walked into a room and identified
25 different relatives by name and their relationship.
In another case study,
Dr. Stevenson traveled to India
to research the claims of one of the most notorious
reincarnations in the region.
There's the interesting case
of Shanti Devi in India.
She was born in 1926, and at the age of four
she began telling her parents that she was
the reincarnation of this other woman
from another town called Mathura.
Mathura is a small village
over 100 miles away from Shanti's hometown of Delhi.
By the time Shanti Devi was nine years old,
she had convinced her parents of her prior existence,
and was put in contact with her former family.
The young girl spoke directly with the man she claimed
she was married to in her previous life.
Shanti Devi gives very accurate information,
knows exactly where she lived in this past life,
the names of people in her family,
her husband specifically.
She eventually met this family and her husband
from a previous life, and lo and behold,
these people embraced her and agreed
that she is this lost relative from another life.
Eventually, Mahatma Gandhi himself
got involved in this whole story.
He had an investigation made, and in 1936
Gandhi himself said that he was satisfied that she was
the reincarnation of this other woman.
In some reincarnation cases,
like that of an English woman named Dorothy Eady,
the past-life recall went much further back in history.
As a young girl, after a near-death experience,
she began recalling her life as a temple virgin in Egypt
during the reign of Seti I in the 14th century BC.
Eady eventually moved to Abydos, Egypt,
took on the name Om Seti,
and became a respected Egyptologist
and the keeper of the Temple of Seti.
It was all really interesting,
because she was one of very few
that perfected the ancient Egyptian language.
She could speak it.
I can translate.
I can try to read, but she could speak it.
And she would go to the other Egyptologists and tell them,
the gardens of whatever is down here.
Dig here, you'll find it.
And most thought she was just crazy.
But they dig and they find it.
She had the information.
She knew things no one else would know.
There was literally no explanation
of how she knew the things she knew,
of how she understood the language,
how she predicted the placement of ruins under the ground.
I don't think anyone up till today
has an explanation of knowing how she knew that,
because she wasn't right once and wrong three times.
She was always right.
Om Seti came back
with a very clear memory of her past life,
specifically to find her way back to Egypt,
but also to educate us.
When you'd see someone speaking about their past life
with such credibility, such accuracy,
this tells us that there is more to it than this life.
So, they are actually teaching us about other worlds,
other realities, and what we are perhaps here to do.
Although Om Seti made significant contributions
to the study of ancient Egypt and its people,
it is her claim to have been reincarnated
that may be her most important legacy.
But if reincarnation is proven to exist... why?
And what does it reveal, not only about our past lives,
but also our future ones?
Valley of the Kings, Luxor, Egypt.
Opposite from the famous burial chamber of King Tut
It is known only by a number,
because even though it was discovered over a century ago,
no one is certain who was buried there.
Initially, it was thought to belong
to King Tut's father, Akhenaten,
but radiological examination
suggested the body belonged to a much younger man.
This is it, KV55 in the Valley of the Kings,
away from the public eye.
Most Egyptologists and archaeologists
are baffled and have a lot of questions.
Very little is known about this tomb.
Let's get in.
One of the most common features of all the tombs
in the Valley of the Kings
is the amount of wall paintings on the tombs
explaining everything and telling the world
that this is the tomb of that king,
and this is how great that king is.
But look at this tomb.
Completely empty.
In 1907,
archaeologists allegedly found an ominous curse on the wall,
assuring that whoever occupied this tomb
would not return in a subsequent life.
When they first opened this tomb,
they found little remains of hieroglyphics on this wall
that says, "The evil one should not live again."
Inside, archaeologists found a coffin
with the remains of a mummified body with an elongated head.
The right side of its skull was smashed in.
But perhaps the most striking feature of the tomb
is that, unlike all other tombs in the valley,
it was not built to keep grave robbers out
it was built specifically to keep someone... or something...
Trapped inside.
This is the burial chamber of the tomb.
Right here is exactly where the sarcophagus would have gone.
And to north, south, east and west of the sarcophagus,
were the four magical cardinal blocks
that protects the tomb from any intruders.
This is a part of some of the magical blocks
that surrounded the sarcophagus.
These rocks in every other tomb had inscriptions on the outside,
on the side facing the world,
so it protects the tomb from the world, except for this tomb.
This tomb, the rocks had hieroglyphics
with the inscriptions on the inside,
as if they intentionally wanted to protect the outside world
from the contents of this tomb.
The ancient Egyptians
were strong believers in reincarnation,
and even had a specific name for the part of the individual
that detaches itself from the body after death.
They referred to it as Ba.
The Ba is the personality.
The Ba is the character.
Every human had a Ba,
and the Ba is the part they believed
moves out and is reincarnated in another life,
another living human.
Ancient astronaut theorists suggest
that the concept of what the Egyptians referred to
as the Ba, or the detachment of the spirit from the body,
has been depicted in artwork throughout history.
Across the globe,
over 1.5 billion people believe in reincarnation,
including nearly all Eastern philosophies,
as well as the Kabbalistic sect of Judaism.
Tibetans, we believe rebirth.
In the Kabbalistic tradition of Judaism,
reincarnation is considered a fundamental belief.
And unlike other religions,
which believe you have only one lifetime
in which to get it right,
in the Kabbalistic tradition, it is believed
that souls are given multiple chances to get it right.
So souls are believed to reincarnate time after time.
The idea of the preexistence of the soul
was once a significant doctrine of the Christian canon,
before it had been excised from the teachings
by Roman emperor Justinian the Great in 553 AD.
The early Christian belief in reincarnation
was eventually declared a heresy.
Instead of recycling to Earth over and over again,
you now only have one destination after this life.
That destination is either Heaven or it's Hell,
depending on how you behaved in life.
It was used as a control mechanism.
In ancient Greece, Socrates, Pythagoras
and Plato all commented on the possibility of reincarnation.
In the dialogues, Plato says,
"I am confident that there truly is such a thing as living again,
and that the living spring from the dead."
So here's a strong sense of reincarnation.
There are many beliefs around the world,
that reincarnation exists.
Some people believe that certain types of souls
are able to come back, not just in one body,
but in several bodies at once to perform specific tasks.
And that's one of the reasons why
there are so many more people on the Earth today
than there used to be.
And also it is possible for you
to reincarnate from other planets.
Oftentimes, when reincarnation is discussed,
we only talk about it
that people are reincarnated here on Earth,
and I personally always thought
that that was a limiting idea of reincarnation.
I think even extraterrestrial organisms... biological ones...
Would be reincarnated throughout the universe.
If souls are indeed recycling
through various bodies, as so many cultures,
both ancient and modern, have proposed,
is this simply the natural continuation of life
or might this process be directed
towards some greater end?
One that reaches far beyond Earth?
Perhaps further clues can be found
by examining the stories of those who claim
to have been reincarnated with a specific purpose for humanity.
Dharamshala, India,
May 17, 2015.
We want justice!
- What do we want? - We want freedom!
What do we want?
Tibetan exiles in India,
including the current Dalai Lama,
renew their call for Communist China
to release the high-ranking Buddhist monk
they have held captive for the past 20 years.
Gedhun Choekyi Nyima is considered
one of the world's longest-held political prisoners.
He has been held captive since 1995,
when at the age of six, he was recognized
as the 11th reincarnation of the Panchen Lama,
the second most important spiritual leader of Tibet
after the Dalai Lama himself.
The Dalai Lama unilaterally announced
that they'd found the Panchen Lama.
Now, the Chinese placed him under house arrest in China,
and he's not been heard from since.
The Chinese government installed, effectively,
their own candidate.
The reason for this
seems to be that the previous Panchen Lama
had spoken out against Chinese Communism,
and the Chinese government was probably worried about that.
Like most other Eastern religions,
the belief in reincarnation
is central to the Tibetan Buddhist philosophy.
The current Dalai Lama
is the 14th in his reincarnation lineage,
but he claims to be the 74th incarnation of his spirit,
which is said to trace back to the deity Chenrezig,
the founding god of the Tibetan people.
Is a very special dedicated compassion
Buddha manifested for Tibet.
This being continues to come back through reincarnations
to simply help the Tibetan people
and the humans on the Earth
to also find their way to enlightenment.
It is said that Chenrezig made a vow
that he would not rest until he had "liberated all the beings
in all the realms of suffering."
Tibetan Buddhists believe, that in the form of the Dalai Lama,
he returns to Earth in a quest to fulfill this mission.
But according to ancient astronaut theorists,
Chenrezig was not merely an enlightened being,
he was an extraterrestrial visitor to Earth
in the remote past.
In many of the renderings similar to his,
you have these Buddhas that are in this lotus position
that seem to be sitting inside some sort of vehicles.
They look like lotus flowers,
and you have them surrounded by flames and smoke.
Chenrezig is often seen floating
in a kind of UFO-shaped disc
with different objects around him.
So, it would seem that really, for Tibetan Buddhists,
the Dalai Lama is a reincarnation
of some kind of extraterrestrial god
who has chosen the Tibetan people as his people,
and he continually reincarnates over and over again,
to lead these people.
According to researchers,
the vast majority of reincarnated individuals
are completely unaware of their previous lives.
But if the Dalai Lama is returning
to fulfill a recognized mission,
could there be others who knowingly come back
with a task to complete?
Hillah, Iraq.
Just over 50 miles south of Baghdad.
Scattered over 2,000 acres,
in the center of the war-torn nation,
lie the ruins of one of the ancient world's greatest cities,
Babylon.
During the 1980s, Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein
attempted to reconstruct the city.
He built himself a replica structure
on the ancient foundation of the palace
of the sixth century Babylonian king, Nebuchadnezzar II,
and even made plans to restore his famous Hanging Gardens.
In 1991, during the First Gulf War,
the world was introduced to Saddam Hussein,
both as a military dictator,
but also, we learned during the 1980s,
Saddam had spent over $500 million
rebuilding Babylon.
One of the interesting things
that came out in the news
around the time of the First Gulf War with Iraq,
was that Saddam Hussein believed
that he was the reincarnation of Nebuchadnezzar II.
Saddam Hussein said that he was
the reincarnation of Nebuchadnezzar.
He had coins made with his image on one side,
and Nebuchadnezzar on the other.
The original bricks in Babylon had the name
Nebuchadnezzar engraved on them.
When Saddam rebuilt the ancient city of Babylon,
he had bricks inscribed with his own name
and the name Nebuchadnezzar engraved on them as well.
Nebuchadnezzar II was a powerful
and ambitious ruler, and during his reign he made Babylon
the most powerful kingdom in the region.
Much like Saddam Hussein, Nebuchadnezzar II also set out
to reconstruct the already ancient city,
specifically focusing on restoring
the Great Ziggurat of Babylon, the Etemenanki temple.
Scholars have proposed that the site may actually be
the former location of the biblical Tower of Babel,
which was constructed after the Great Flood
by orders of the ancient king, Nimrod.
Ancient legend tells us that King Nebuchadnezzar
was indeed himself a reincarnation of the earlier
Babylonian King Nimrod.
Nimrod was the first world dictator who created
what was a world empire.
Nimrod was of the descendants of Noah.
Now, Noah was very unique, very interesting.
He was born with certain attributes which indicated
that he was not of this world.
If this is true,
could it be that Saddam Hussein was not only
a reincarnation of Nebuchadnezzar II,
but also the biblical character known as Nimrod?
And might this being have returned to fulfill a mission
he was unable to complete in his earlier incarnation?
What we're seeing here is actually
a progression of a soul, or a spirit,
beginning with Nimrod, going through Nebuchadnezzar,
and then reincarnating as Saddam Hussein,
who was trying to do exactly the same thing in each lifetime.
If the existence of the human soul can be proven,
could it really carry remnants
from previous lives?
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes,
and point to a number of recent scientific
discoveries for their proof,
not only of reincarnation,
but of mankind's ancient alien origins.
Stanton, Kentucky, July 2016.
A witness to the aftermath of a fatal traffic collision
takes a photograph of the scene as he drives past.
Upon examination of the picture, he notices the vestige
of a figure floating above the scene.
Many have suggested that this chilling photograph
actually shows the soul leaving the body.
And today an increasing number of scientists support the notion
that there may really be a spirit that continues on
after the body dies.
The vast body of information
supporting the concept
or the idea of reincarnation
is getting stronger and stronger.
There's nothing in the science that precludes that,
and there's some information that actually supports it.
In 1996,
renowned physicist Sir Roger Penrose
and anesthesiologist Dr. Stuart Hameroff
developed a quantum theory of consciousness that supports
the notion of a separate state of an individual
that can exist beyond the confines of a physical body.
Their work highlights structures called microtubules,
which they suggest is the seat of the soul.
Microtubules are light pipes
that allow electrons to flow unimpeded,
so the body can talk to itself.
It allows consciousness to flow throughout the body,
at least so the theory goes.
According to their theory, the soul itself exists
in an energetic state.
When the body dies, it returns to the universe,
as it cannot be destroyed.
And in the case of near-death experiences,
it may later return to the body after resuscitation.
Their theory suggests that
what is happening is that some energetic quantum essence
of consciousness itself that can exist as pure energy
is exiting the body.
And then, when the body becomes viable again,
it is able to reinhabit the body through
using these microtubules, much like the idea of an antenna.
We have the possibility that this is an intelligent design.
That there could be intelligent beings before us
who specifically designed these biological bodies
to be vessels for the soul.
According to ancient astronaut theorists,
our latest scientific discoveries reflect the stories
written by our ancestors over 3,500 years ago,
detailing how the gods fashioned the human body
to possess a soul or spirit.
When you look at, uh, one of the earliest creation myths
from Mesopotamia, they talked about how,
in order for a human body to be animated,
the gods needed to connect the soul to it,
or the spiritual consciousness to it.
Otherwise it just doesn't function.
The gods in ancient stories have all
the hallmarks of what we call extraterrestrials.
They're deeply interested in the idea of the soul, how to move
the soul from one body to another.
We call that reincarnation.
So the historical record
of extraterrestrials tweaking human bodies
suggests that the ultimate purpose
of this genetic alteration
is to make the human body a better vehicle for the soul.
Are scientists on the verge of uncovering
a profound truth... that man really does possess a soul,
and human bodies are physiologically designed
to support it, as our ancestors claimed?
Ancient astronaut theorists say yes, and believe
the more important question... is why?
New York City College of Technology.
August 2016.
Physicist Gregory Matloff publishes a paper arguing
that consciousness may extend beyond humans,
and that the universe itself might be self-aware.
Prominent scientists like Christoph Koch
and Sir Roger Penrose also support this notion.
And researchers studying reincarnation believe
it might help explain why souls are continuously recycled.
There seems to be a process where you reincarnate
repeatedly, because there is a larger consciousness
that you're a part of.
In short, we upload and download consciousness,
and we're creating a common body of information.
Cosmic consciousness is expansive.
It allows us to imagine the possibilities
beyond our 3D reality.
Beyond our limited way of seeing this reality
right here on the Earth.
But if human bodies were created
as vessels for the soul by extraterrestrial beings,
as some ancient astronaut theorists propose,
was it to feed the human experience into
a shared cosmic consciousness?
And if so, could the key to uncovering the truth
about our alien origins be walking amongst us today?
Some of the souls that are currently
walking around Planet Earth
have been around for a very long time,
and may be traced back to extraterrestrials visiting
in the remote past.
The truth of our past could definitely be
part of our future.
Extraterrestrial reincarnated souls
have been with us for thousands and thousands of years,
guiding us, leading us over and over again as best they can
to help us achieve our various goals.
We have to realize that
extraterrestrial knowledge is present in our world,
that these souls carry direct evidence and knowledge
from our past
and are perhaps being used to fulfill
the mission of these extraterrestrial beings.
Is it possible that humans are designed
to carry the souls of otherworldly beings
that came to Earth thousands of years ago?
Perhaps as we learn more about reincarnation
we will be able to access ancient knowledge
seeded deep within each of us.
We may also discover that the truths
about our extraterrestrial past
are much closer than we ever realized.
