Amos.. Paul Burke asked for validated instances of "childhood memories of prior existence, or validated remote viewings".
You state that there are.
I am sure there is equivocation on the idea of validated involved. There are 'unexplained' instances of such things, but when you accurately describe all the conditions, including who did the reporting and whether there was corroborating testimony and controlled environment, I doubt most of the stories would pass any severe scrutiny.
When we can design a test and control what is 'viewed remotely', and have something like two or more subjects pass the test, AS we monitor their condition...etc...etc...then we might get some data to seriously investigate.
There is so often this 'mysterious' element in reports, such as
'near death' and stories from children whose reports may be not only vaguely worded, but reported inaccurately by others.
So VERY many reports are hyped with the generalized - "Well, *I* can't think of any other explanation for such a strange occurance!"
Perhaps not....but often I can. It is not a matter of dis-proving strange experiences, but rather of them being totally convincing to the mass of us who seem to be excluded from actually having them.
(As Paul said above,"...my DREAMS are queer enough!". I'm sure 'almost' dying can do strange things to the synapses in the brain that make simple 'dreaming' seem tame.)
