How Real is Reincarnation?

When my now 19 year old son was about 3 years old and I was pushing him down the street on his pushchair (stroller), he saw an old man walking towards us using a wooden walking stick. He pointed at the man and in his baby voice he said, "I used to have one of those sticks before I died."
The hairs in the back of my neck stood on end.

Reincarnation was not something that was spoken about in our house at the time. Plus the words he used, "before I died," were not something I, nor anyone else I knew, had ever said before.
Up to that point reincarnation to me was a good working theory, and I did kind of "believe" in it.

But, I am not entirely convinced that when we experience the memories and lives of other incarnations we are dealing with something that only "us" as an individual entity has experienced. I think it is more in the lines of Jung's collective unconscious.

Following this train of thought, if something in our own present life experience creates a certain "vibration" that is also being experienced, or was experienced by someone else, in another life, the two life experiences will resonate with each other, just like two unrelated instruments resonate with the same musical note.

So, for example. I once looked at a picture of the Greek coast and totally freaked out. I said I hated the place and then had a very visual recollection of being very dark, wearing black clothes and being in an large orange grove collecting oranges when a group of people, about 5, star walking toward me. The other workers move away in fear. They come to me and one of them reads a declaration that I am a witch and will suffer the consequences etc.. Next scene, I am at the edge of a cliff looking down at the sea, there are many people behind me and I am pushed off the cliff and fall to my death.

This was a very powerful memory.

Years later, a book by a Dr. Brian Weiss told of a regression by a woman who described a very similar experience in a previous life in Greece.

Did we both pick up, resonated, on the same traumatic life or lives of women who were thrown off cliffs in Greece? Or did we in fact both live there in the past and had similar fates?

At the end of the day, I don't think it really matters if it was my personal identity that had unique lifetimes before this one or whether I am tapping into the vibration of other lives. Either way we can use these experiences to heal ourselves.
