Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:00,934 --> 00:00:03,071
kid, I would just,
2
00:00:03,104 --> 00:00:05,073
out of nowhere,
start saying things.
3
00:00:05,106 --> 00:00:07,508
Things like,
"Mom, in my last life
4
00:00:07,541 --> 00:00:09,243
I was shot down and killed."
5
00:00:12,180 --> 00:00:14,682
BOB GOOD:
Suzanne Ghanem identified
6
00:00:14,715 --> 00:00:18,486
25 different relatives
of her prior life.
7
00:00:18,519 --> 00:00:20,221
And their relationship.
8
00:00:21,789 --> 00:00:24,525
RAMY ROMANY: There was
literally no explanation
9
00:00:24,558 --> 00:00:29,097
of how Om Seti knew the things
she knew,
10
00:00:29,130 --> 00:00:33,201
of how she understood
the ancient language,
11
00:00:33,234 --> 00:00:38,506
how she predicted the placement
of ruins under the ground.
12
00:00:38,539 --> 00:00:41,475
GIORGIO TSOUKALOS:
You have thousands of reports
13
00:00:41,509 --> 00:00:43,411
of reincarnation.
14
00:00:43,444 --> 00:00:46,847
So one has to wonder whether
there is something behind that.
15
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,550
WILLIAM HENRY: Did
extraterrestrials come to Earth
16
00:00:49,583 --> 00:00:53,087
and tweak the human body to
serve as a vehicle for the soul?
17
00:00:53,121 --> 00:00:54,288
And if so,
18
00:00:54,322 --> 00:00:56,324
what is the purpose?
19
00:00:56,357 --> 00:00:58,292
*
20
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,588
*
21
00:01:31,292 --> 00:01:33,227
NARRATOR:
Lafayette, Louisiana.
22
00:01:33,261 --> 00:01:35,095
2001.
23
00:01:39,367 --> 00:01:42,203
Aside from having an unusual
obsession with airplanes
24
00:01:42,236 --> 00:01:44,538
and World War II,
25
00:01:44,572 --> 00:01:46,907
James Leininger was,
by all accounts,
26
00:01:46,940 --> 00:01:49,810
a normal three-year-old.
27
00:01:49,843 --> 00:01:52,180
That is, before he began having
28
00:01:52,213 --> 00:01:54,815
-(gunfire)
-a strange recurring nightmare.
29
00:02:02,590 --> 00:02:04,358
I would have these nightmares,
30
00:02:04,392 --> 00:02:07,561
and it would be just me
kicking and screaming,
31
00:02:07,595 --> 00:02:10,298
me with my legs
physically in the air,
32
00:02:10,331 --> 00:02:12,200
kicking up at the
ceiling, screaming,
33
00:02:12,233 --> 00:02:15,369
"Plane crash on fire,
little man can't get out."
34
00:02:15,403 --> 00:02:19,840
And that was every night
for almost a year.
35
00:02:19,873 --> 00:02:24,712
And then I would just, out of
nowhere, start saying things.
36
00:02:24,745 --> 00:02:28,182
Things like
"Mom, in my last life
37
00:02:28,216 --> 00:02:29,917
I was shot down and killed."
38
00:02:33,287 --> 00:02:34,888
NARRATOR:
James would draw elaborate
39
00:02:34,922 --> 00:02:37,558
airplane dogfight scenes.
40
00:02:37,591 --> 00:02:40,594
He also seemed to have an eerie
and inexplicable knowledge
41
00:02:40,628 --> 00:02:43,231
of World War II aircraft,
42
00:02:43,264 --> 00:02:46,334
right down to their components.
43
00:02:46,367 --> 00:02:50,871
This is a drawing I did when
I was, when I was much younger.
44
00:02:50,904 --> 00:02:55,543
And this is one of the ones
I signed "James 3."
45
00:02:55,576 --> 00:02:59,913
My dad asked me one day,
"Why do you sign it 'James 3'?"
46
00:02:59,947 --> 00:03:02,216
And I just turned to him
and simply said,
47
00:03:02,250 --> 00:03:03,751
"'Cause I'm the third James."
48
00:03:03,784 --> 00:03:06,787
I was the junior, junior.
49
00:03:06,820 --> 00:03:09,590
And then, one day,
my father asked me
50
00:03:09,623 --> 00:03:11,925
the name of the ship that
I was on and I said, "Natoma."
51
00:03:15,263 --> 00:03:17,365
NARRATOR:
After doing some research,
52
00:03:17,398 --> 00:03:20,901
James' father found that
there was, in fact,
53
00:03:20,934 --> 00:03:27,241
an aircraft carrier named
the USS Natoma Bay (CVE 62).
54
00:03:27,275 --> 00:03:29,910
The boy could also
indicate on a map
55
00:03:29,943 --> 00:03:31,945
the exact location
of where the plane
56
00:03:31,979 --> 00:03:34,648
he claimed to be flying
went down.
57
00:03:34,682 --> 00:03:38,952
-(plane crashes)
-In Chichijima, Japan.
58
00:03:38,986 --> 00:03:42,390
LEININGER: Eventually, my father
found a ship roster.
59
00:03:42,423 --> 00:03:44,292
And they went down the line
60
00:03:44,325 --> 00:03:46,927
and saw names that they
had recognized that I had said.
61
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,596
And then they came to James.
62
00:03:48,629 --> 00:03:50,398
James McCready Huston.
63
00:03:50,431 --> 00:03:51,965
-(weapons firing)
-This man was killed
64
00:03:51,999 --> 00:03:56,470
when he was shot down
over the island Chichijima.
65
00:04:01,008 --> 00:04:02,776
NARRATOR:
While James Leininger's memories
66
00:04:02,810 --> 00:04:06,814
of his so-called past life
remained vivid in his youth,
67
00:04:06,847 --> 00:04:09,917
they began to fade
as he became an adult.
68
00:04:11,752 --> 00:04:15,456
But what he is able to remember
still brings back
69
00:04:15,489 --> 00:04:17,358
powerful emotions.
70
00:04:18,992 --> 00:04:21,929
LEININGER:
My memories of James Huston
71
00:04:21,962 --> 00:04:25,733
and the things that he underwent
72
00:04:25,766 --> 00:04:30,371
have mostly all but gone.
73
00:04:30,404 --> 00:04:33,307
I can remember
this one snapshot.
74
00:04:33,341 --> 00:04:35,443
You...
75
00:04:35,476 --> 00:04:37,010
(voice breaking):
I'm sorry.
76
00:04:37,044 --> 00:04:42,783
And you hear, you just hear
this, this crackling.
77
00:04:42,816 --> 00:04:47,555
And it's just this loud banging
and this distant just...
78
00:04:47,588 --> 00:04:49,423
(imitates explosions)
79
00:04:51,058 --> 00:04:53,060
And you can see these black dots
in the sky.
80
00:04:53,093 --> 00:04:56,430
You look up.
81
00:04:56,464 --> 00:04:59,667
And eventually you see this
plane start to come down.
82
00:05:04,004 --> 00:05:06,674
And it hits the water.
83
00:05:06,707 --> 00:05:08,576
And it's black after that.
84
00:05:11,412 --> 00:05:13,113
You don't hear anything.
You don't see anything.
85
00:05:13,146 --> 00:05:16,484
It's just... it's done.
86
00:05:19,420 --> 00:05:21,522
NARRATOR:
Although mainstream science
87
00:05:21,555 --> 00:05:24,892
widely dismisses the concept
of reincarnation,
88
00:05:24,925 --> 00:05:27,928
leading academic institutions,
89
00:05:27,961 --> 00:05:29,730
such as
the University of Virginia,
90
00:05:29,763 --> 00:05:31,932
Duke University,
91
00:05:31,965 --> 00:05:34,568
and the University
of British Columbia,
92
00:05:34,602 --> 00:05:38,071
have entire departments
devoted to its study.
93
00:05:38,105 --> 00:05:39,673
And,
according to their research,
94
00:05:39,707 --> 00:05:43,577
a mounting body
of evidence suggests
95
00:05:43,611 --> 00:05:46,680
that the ability of some
to vividly recall past lives
96
00:05:46,714 --> 00:05:50,551
may, in fact,
be a real occurrence.
97
00:05:50,584 --> 00:05:54,888
TSOUKALOS:
You have thousands of reports.
98
00:05:54,922 --> 00:05:59,927
So one has to wonder whether
there is something behind that.
99
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:05,065
There are studies that have been
made on these things,
100
00:06:05,098 --> 00:06:10,504
and I wonder how long it'll be
until mainstream science
101
00:06:10,538 --> 00:06:14,442
agrees with the idea
that something happens to us
102
00:06:14,475 --> 00:06:16,410
after death.
103
00:06:19,179 --> 00:06:23,484
The basic idea of reincarnation
is that, upon your death,
104
00:06:23,517 --> 00:06:27,755
your soul departs your body.
105
00:06:27,788 --> 00:06:31,659
You go to your version of heaven
106
00:06:31,692 --> 00:06:35,195
and then you come down
into a new body.
107
00:06:35,228 --> 00:06:38,098
An easy way to understand this
108
00:06:38,131 --> 00:06:40,901
is that you can upload files
from your computer
109
00:06:40,934 --> 00:06:42,536
to the cloud
110
00:06:42,570 --> 00:06:45,072
and then download files
to a new computer.
111
00:06:47,675 --> 00:06:50,077
NARRATOR: But while scientists
are just beginning
112
00:06:50,110 --> 00:06:52,780
to entertain the notion
that reincarnation
113
00:06:52,813 --> 00:06:54,147
may be a real occurrence,
114
00:06:54,181 --> 00:06:58,085
the idea of a soul
leaving one human body
115
00:06:58,118 --> 00:07:02,490
and entering another can be
traced back thousands of years,
116
00:07:02,523 --> 00:07:05,659
to the very beginning
of Egyptian civilization.
117
00:07:11,231 --> 00:07:12,900
Turin, Italy.
118
00:07:15,135 --> 00:07:17,771
On display at
the Egyptian Museum
119
00:07:17,805 --> 00:07:21,742
is the Turin King List,
or Royal Canon,
120
00:07:21,775 --> 00:07:25,846
which dates back
to the 13th century BC.
121
00:07:28,749 --> 00:07:30,784
The papyrus includes a list
122
00:07:30,818 --> 00:07:33,754
detailing the
ancient Egyptian rulers,
123
00:07:33,787 --> 00:07:38,659
extending back to the very start
of Egyptian civilization.
124
00:07:38,692 --> 00:07:41,895
We see all the timelines,
and all the kings were there,
125
00:07:41,929 --> 00:07:43,497
but the first two groups
of names
126
00:07:43,531 --> 00:07:46,800
on that list...
127
00:07:46,834 --> 00:07:48,669
were gods,
128
00:07:48,702 --> 00:07:50,804
the gods of Egypt,
129
00:07:50,838 --> 00:07:55,509
who they believed ruled
before the kings.
130
00:07:58,712 --> 00:08:00,981
NARRATOR:
Although scholars fully accept
131
00:08:01,014 --> 00:08:04,552
the chronology from the rule
of King Menes onward,
132
00:08:04,585 --> 00:08:10,123
they discount the time before
his reign around 3000 BC,
133
00:08:10,157 --> 00:08:13,994
a time when these alleged gods
ruled over Egypt.
134
00:08:15,763 --> 00:08:17,765
One of the first names
to be found on the list
135
00:08:17,798 --> 00:08:21,969
is the god Osiris.
136
00:08:22,002 --> 00:08:24,638
WILLIAM BRAMLEY: Osiris was
depicted as a human-like god.
137
00:08:24,672 --> 00:08:27,140
He had human features.
138
00:08:27,174 --> 00:08:29,777
But one of the most curious
things about Osiris
139
00:08:29,810 --> 00:08:34,114
is that he was shown
with green skin.
140
00:08:34,147 --> 00:08:36,717
HENRY: Osiris is thought
to have come from
141
00:08:36,750 --> 00:08:39,953
the star system
Orion originally.
142
00:08:39,987 --> 00:08:43,056
And was part of a group
of extraterrestrials
143
00:08:43,090 --> 00:08:45,292
that came to Earth.
144
00:08:47,227 --> 00:08:49,630
What's interesting about
the ancient Egyptian gods
145
00:08:49,663 --> 00:08:51,832
is they could also die.
146
00:08:51,865 --> 00:08:53,934
They weren't
necessarily immortal.
147
00:08:53,967 --> 00:08:57,938
And when the god Osiris died,
148
00:08:57,971 --> 00:09:01,274
centuries ago according
to Egyptian mythology,
149
00:09:01,308 --> 00:09:03,777
he was reborn
150
00:09:03,811 --> 00:09:08,949
as his own son, Horus.
151
00:09:08,982 --> 00:09:14,822
And Horus became a physical
incarnation on Earth.
152
00:09:14,855 --> 00:09:17,991
And it is believed
by the ancient Egyptians
153
00:09:18,025 --> 00:09:22,596
that all the pharaohs became
gods incarnate.
154
00:09:22,630 --> 00:09:27,000
And once one particular
pharaoh died,
155
00:09:27,034 --> 00:09:32,840
the spirit would then go
into the next pharaoh.
156
00:09:32,873 --> 00:09:35,075
And so on, and so on.
157
00:09:35,108 --> 00:09:40,781
So this, this cycle
of reincarnation continued.
158
00:09:40,814 --> 00:09:42,916
In the ancient Egyptian
creation mythology,
159
00:09:42,950 --> 00:09:44,618
the god Ptah
160
00:09:44,652 --> 00:09:49,222
came from Sirius
and fashioned the human body.
161
00:09:49,256 --> 00:09:50,758
We have to ask the question:
162
00:09:50,791 --> 00:09:53,093
did extraterrestrials
come to Earth
163
00:09:53,126 --> 00:09:56,263
and tweak the human body to
serve as a vehicle for the soul?
164
00:10:01,669 --> 00:10:04,037
NARRATOR: If the stories
of the Egyptian gods
165
00:10:04,071 --> 00:10:07,941
incarnating into human bodies
are true,
166
00:10:07,975 --> 00:10:11,645
do all humans possess souls
that have been passed down
167
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,781
from the beginning of mankind,
168
00:10:13,814 --> 00:10:15,015
and may have originated
169
00:10:15,048 --> 00:10:18,118
beyond Earth?
170
00:10:18,151 --> 00:10:21,121
Perhaps further clues
can be found
171
00:10:21,154 --> 00:10:24,958
by examining recent case studies
into past lives
172
00:10:24,992 --> 00:10:29,129
that scientists find
too remarkable to dismiss.
173
00:10:37,204 --> 00:10:41,374
ROMANY:
NARRATOR:
Charlottesville, Virginia, 1967.
174
00:10:41,408 --> 00:10:45,378
Renowned psychiatrist
Dr. Ian Stevenson
175
00:10:45,412 --> 00:10:48,448
launches the Division
of Personality Studies
176
00:10:48,481 --> 00:10:50,918
at the University of Virginia,
177
00:10:50,951 --> 00:10:54,688
making it one of the first
educational institutions
178
00:10:54,722 --> 00:10:59,693
to devote serious research
into the study of reincarnation.
179
00:10:59,727 --> 00:11:01,895
Over his 40-year career,
180
00:11:01,929 --> 00:11:06,033
Dr. Stevenson extensively
studied more than 3,000 cases
181
00:11:06,066 --> 00:11:09,002
of individuals who reported
past life memories.
182
00:11:09,036 --> 00:11:13,841
And he was able to objectively
validate the claims being made
183
00:11:13,874 --> 00:11:17,878
in an astounding
1,200 instances.
184
00:11:17,911 --> 00:11:20,080
The body of work
by Ian Stevenson
185
00:11:20,113 --> 00:11:21,849
is exceptionally credible.
186
00:11:21,882 --> 00:11:27,888
It's painstakingly documenting
instances of things
187
00:11:27,921 --> 00:11:30,357
that are suggestive
of reincarnation.
188
00:11:30,390 --> 00:11:33,827
Now, what makes a case credible
is that the person
189
00:11:33,861 --> 00:11:37,097
has specific knowledge that
they couldn't possibly have.
190
00:11:37,130 --> 00:11:40,133
NARRATOR:
Dr. Stevenson traveled
191
00:11:40,167 --> 00:11:41,735
throughout the world
to meet with people
192
00:11:41,769 --> 00:11:43,937
claiming to have knowledge
of their past lives.
193
00:11:43,971 --> 00:11:46,006
You are now fully relaxed.
194
00:11:46,039 --> 00:11:48,175
NARRATOR:
He used various methodologies,
195
00:11:48,208 --> 00:11:51,745
including hypnosis,
to obtain pertinent details
196
00:11:51,779 --> 00:11:53,914
from his subjects,
and then would set out
197
00:11:53,947 --> 00:11:57,084
to authenticate
and document the evidence.
198
00:11:57,117 --> 00:12:01,889
One of his most striking
case studies was Suzanne Ghanem,
199
00:12:01,922 --> 00:12:06,393
who was born in Richmond,
Virginia in 1963.
200
00:12:06,426 --> 00:12:10,430
She insisted from a young age
that in her previous life
201
00:12:10,463 --> 00:12:13,801
she had been Hanan Monsour,
a Lebanese women
202
00:12:13,834 --> 00:12:17,905
who had passed away just ten
days before Suzanne was born.
203
00:12:21,541 --> 00:12:24,845
At the age of two,
she shared with her parents
204
00:12:24,878 --> 00:12:27,547
the name of Hanan's husband
and her three children,
205
00:12:27,580 --> 00:12:31,919
and later scribbled a phone
number on a scrap of paper.
206
00:12:31,952 --> 00:12:34,221
Dr. Stevenson would discover
207
00:12:34,254 --> 00:12:37,324
that the number matched the
Monsours' home phone number,
208
00:12:37,357 --> 00:12:40,928
except that the last two digits
were reversed.
209
00:12:42,395 --> 00:12:44,464
GOOD:
Suzanne Ghanem
210
00:12:44,497 --> 00:12:47,434
holds the record
for being able to identify
211
00:12:47,467 --> 00:12:49,369
relatives of her prior life.
212
00:12:49,402 --> 00:12:52,005
She walked into a room
and identified
213
00:12:52,039 --> 00:12:56,009
25 different relatives by name
and their relationship.
214
00:12:58,946 --> 00:13:00,113
NARRATOR:
In another case study,
215
00:13:00,147 --> 00:13:02,449
Dr. Stevenson traveled to India
216
00:13:02,482 --> 00:13:06,086
to research the claims
of one of the most notorious
217
00:13:06,119 --> 00:13:09,022
reincarnations in the region.
218
00:13:09,056 --> 00:13:11,358
CHILDRESS:
There's the interesting case
219
00:13:11,391 --> 00:13:13,961
of Shanti Devi in India.
220
00:13:13,994 --> 00:13:19,132
She was born in 1926,
and at the age of four
221
00:13:19,166 --> 00:13:21,902
she began telling her parents
that she was
222
00:13:21,935 --> 00:13:24,371
the reincarnation
of this other woman
223
00:13:24,404 --> 00:13:26,840
from another town
called Mathura.
224
00:13:26,874 --> 00:13:29,943
NARRATOR:
Mathura is a small village
225
00:13:29,977 --> 00:13:34,514
over 100 miles away from
Shanti's hometown of Delhi.
226
00:13:34,547 --> 00:13:38,051
By the time Shanti Devi
was nine years old,
227
00:13:38,085 --> 00:13:41,088
she had convinced her parents
of her prior existence,
228
00:13:41,121 --> 00:13:44,624
and was put in contact
with her former family.
229
00:13:44,657 --> 00:13:48,495
The young girl spoke directly
with the man she claimed
230
00:13:48,528 --> 00:13:51,531
she was married to
in her previous life.
231
00:13:51,564 --> 00:13:53,400
JASON MARTELL:
Shanti Devi
232
00:13:53,433 --> 00:13:55,602
gives very accurate information,
233
00:13:55,635 --> 00:13:59,006
knows exactly where she lived
in this past life,
234
00:13:59,039 --> 00:14:00,573
the names of people
in her family,
235
00:14:00,607 --> 00:14:02,342
her husband specifically.
236
00:14:02,375 --> 00:14:05,913
She eventually met this family
and her husband
237
00:14:05,946 --> 00:14:08,015
from a previous life,
and lo and behold,
238
00:14:08,048 --> 00:14:11,118
these people embraced her
and agreed
239
00:14:11,151 --> 00:14:14,554
that she is this lost relative
from another life.
240
00:14:14,587 --> 00:14:17,891
CHILDRESS: Eventually,
Mahatma Gandhi himself
241
00:14:17,925 --> 00:14:20,560
got involved
in this whole story.
242
00:14:20,593 --> 00:14:25,165
He had an investigation made,
and in 1936
243
00:14:25,198 --> 00:14:29,369
Gandhi himself said that he was
satisfied that she was
244
00:14:29,402 --> 00:14:32,539
the reincarnation
of this other woman.
245
00:14:36,143 --> 00:14:38,678
NARRATOR:
In some reincarnation cases,
246
00:14:38,711 --> 00:14:41,949
like that of an English woman
named Dorothy Eady,
247
00:14:41,982 --> 00:14:47,087
the past-life recall went much
further back in history.
248
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,924
As a young girl,
after a near-death experience,
249
00:14:50,958 --> 00:14:54,627
she began recalling her life
as a temple virgin in Egypt
250
00:14:54,661 --> 00:14:58,598
during the reign of Seti I
in the 14th century BC.
251
00:15:01,034 --> 00:15:04,237
Eady eventually moved
to Abydos, Egypt,
252
00:15:04,271 --> 00:15:07,040
took on the name Om Seti,
253
00:15:07,074 --> 00:15:09,576
and became
a respected Egyptologist
254
00:15:09,609 --> 00:15:13,213
and the keeper
of the Temple of Seti.
255
00:15:13,246 --> 00:15:14,581
ROMANY:
It was all really interesting,
256
00:15:14,614 --> 00:15:17,517
because she was one of very few
257
00:15:17,550 --> 00:15:20,653
that perfected the ancient
Egyptian language.
258
00:15:20,687 --> 00:15:23,423
She could speak it.
259
00:15:23,456 --> 00:15:25,658
I can translate.
260
00:15:25,692 --> 00:15:29,696
I can try to read,
but she could speak it.
261
00:15:29,729 --> 00:15:34,467
And she would go to the other
Egyptologists and tell them,
262
00:15:34,501 --> 00:15:37,604
the gardens of whatever
is down here.
263
00:15:37,637 --> 00:15:39,639
Dig here, you'll find it.
264
00:15:39,672 --> 00:15:44,244
And most thought
she was just crazy.
265
00:15:44,277 --> 00:15:47,147
But they dig and they find it.
266
00:15:47,180 --> 00:15:49,149
She had the information.
267
00:15:49,182 --> 00:15:52,019
She knew things
no one else would know.
268
00:15:52,052 --> 00:15:55,989
There was literally
no explanation
269
00:15:56,023 --> 00:15:59,692
of how she knew
the things she knew,
270
00:15:59,726 --> 00:16:05,498
of how she understood
the language,
271
00:16:05,532 --> 00:16:11,271
how she predicted the placement
of ruins under the ground.
272
00:16:11,304 --> 00:16:15,075
I don't think anyone
up till today
273
00:16:15,108 --> 00:16:19,446
has an explanation of knowing
how she knew that,
274
00:16:19,479 --> 00:16:23,283
because she wasn't right once
and wrong three times.
275
00:16:23,316 --> 00:16:25,585
She was always right.
276
00:16:25,618 --> 00:16:27,754
Om Seti came back
277
00:16:27,787 --> 00:16:32,625
with a very clear memory
of her past life,
278
00:16:32,659 --> 00:16:37,397
specifically to find
her way back to Egypt,
279
00:16:37,430 --> 00:16:41,101
but also to educate us.
280
00:16:41,134 --> 00:16:45,205
When you'd see someone speaking
about their past life
281
00:16:45,238 --> 00:16:48,208
with such credibility,
such accuracy,
282
00:16:48,241 --> 00:16:53,113
this tells us that there is more
to it than this life.
283
00:16:53,146 --> 00:16:58,451
So, they are actually teaching
us about other worlds,
284
00:16:58,485 --> 00:17:02,122
other realities, and what we are
perhaps here to do.
285
00:17:04,324 --> 00:17:07,794
NARRATOR: Although Om Seti
made significant contributions
286
00:17:07,827 --> 00:17:11,131
to the study of ancient Egypt
and its people,
287
00:17:11,164 --> 00:17:14,267
it is her claim
to have been reincarnated
288
00:17:14,301 --> 00:17:17,704
that may be
her most important legacy.
289
00:17:17,737 --> 00:17:24,144
But if reincarnation
is proven to exist... why?
290
00:17:24,177 --> 00:17:28,681
And what does it reveal,
not only about our past lives,
291
00:17:28,715 --> 00:17:31,751
but also our future ones?
292
00:17:40,793 --> 00:17:45,398
NARRATOR: Valley of the Kings,
Luxor, Egypt.
293
00:17:45,432 --> 00:17:49,502
Opposite from the famous
burial chamber of King Tut
294
00:17:49,536 --> 00:17:53,473
is a small crypt: KV55.
295
00:17:53,506 --> 00:17:57,210
It is known only by a number,
296
00:17:57,244 --> 00:18:00,647
because even though it was
discovered over a century ago,
297
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,816
no one is certain
who was buried there.
298
00:18:03,850 --> 00:18:05,885
Initially, it was thought
to belong
299
00:18:05,918 --> 00:18:09,222
to King Tut's father, Akhenaten,
300
00:18:09,256 --> 00:18:11,658
but radiological examination
301
00:18:11,691 --> 00:18:16,263
suggested the body
belonged to a much younger man.
302
00:18:19,499 --> 00:18:24,237
This is it, KV55
in the Valley of the Kings,
303
00:18:24,271 --> 00:18:26,673
away from the public eye.
304
00:18:26,706 --> 00:18:30,777
Most Egyptologists
and archaeologists
305
00:18:30,810 --> 00:18:34,781
are baffled and have
a lot of questions.
306
00:18:34,814 --> 00:18:37,250
Very little is known
about this tomb.
307
00:18:37,284 --> 00:18:38,785
Let's get in.
308
00:18:41,354 --> 00:18:44,824
One of the most common features
of all the tombs
309
00:18:44,857 --> 00:18:47,160
in the Valley of the Kings
310
00:18:47,194 --> 00:18:49,762
is the amount
of wall paintings on the tombs
311
00:18:49,796 --> 00:18:53,700
explaining everything
and telling the world
312
00:18:53,733 --> 00:18:56,436
that this is the tomb
of that king,
313
00:18:56,469 --> 00:18:58,538
and this is how great
that king is.
314
00:18:58,571 --> 00:19:00,240
But look at this tomb.
315
00:19:00,273 --> 00:19:03,610
Completely empty.
316
00:19:03,643 --> 00:19:06,279
NARRATOR:
In 1907,
317
00:19:06,313 --> 00:19:10,750
archaeologists allegedly found
an ominous curse on the wall,
318
00:19:10,783 --> 00:19:13,720
assuring that whoever occupied
this tomb
319
00:19:13,753 --> 00:19:17,424
would not return
in a subsequent life.
320
00:19:17,457 --> 00:19:19,526
When they first opened
this tomb,
321
00:19:19,559 --> 00:19:23,796
they found little remains
of hieroglyphics on this wall
322
00:19:23,830 --> 00:19:30,270
that says, "The evil one
should not live again."
323
00:19:32,505 --> 00:19:35,875
NARRATOR: Inside, archaeologists
found a coffin
324
00:19:35,908 --> 00:19:40,613
with the remains of a mummified
body with an elongated head.
325
00:19:40,647 --> 00:19:44,217
The right side of its skull
was smashed in.
326
00:19:44,251 --> 00:19:47,954
But perhaps the most striking
feature of the tomb
327
00:19:47,987 --> 00:19:51,458
is that, unlike all other tombs
in the valley,
328
00:19:51,491 --> 00:19:54,794
it was not built
to keep grave robbers out
329
00:19:54,827 --> 00:19:59,299
it was built specifically
to keep someone-- or something--
330
00:19:59,332 --> 00:20:01,834
trapped inside.
331
00:20:01,868 --> 00:20:05,438
This is the burial chamber
of the tomb.
332
00:20:05,472 --> 00:20:09,676
Right here is exactly where
the sarcophagus would have gone.
333
00:20:14,046 --> 00:20:20,253
And to north, south, east
and west of the sarcophagus,
334
00:20:20,287 --> 00:20:23,523
were the four
magical cardinal blocks
335
00:20:23,556 --> 00:20:28,628
that protects the tomb
from any intruders.
336
00:20:31,498 --> 00:20:35,368
This is a part
of some of the magical blocks
337
00:20:35,402 --> 00:20:40,006
that surrounded the sarcophagus.
338
00:20:40,039 --> 00:20:44,511
These rocks in every other tomb
had inscriptions on the outside,
339
00:20:44,544 --> 00:20:47,480
on the side facing the world,
340
00:20:47,514 --> 00:20:51,518
so it protects the tomb from
the world, except for this tomb.
341
00:20:51,551 --> 00:20:55,422
This tomb, the rocks
had hieroglyphics
342
00:20:55,455 --> 00:20:58,525
with the inscriptions
on the inside,
343
00:20:58,558 --> 00:21:02,395
as if they intentionally wanted
to protect the outside world
344
00:21:02,429 --> 00:21:04,931
from the contents of this tomb.
345
00:21:07,667 --> 00:21:09,302
NARRATOR:
The ancient Egyptians
346
00:21:09,336 --> 00:21:12,505
were strong believers
in reincarnation,
347
00:21:12,539 --> 00:21:15,742
and even had a specific name
for the part of the individual
348
00:21:15,775 --> 00:21:18,778
that detaches itself
from the body after death.
349
00:21:18,811 --> 00:21:22,715
They referred to it as Ba.
350
00:21:22,749 --> 00:21:25,685
The Ba is the personality.
351
00:21:25,718 --> 00:21:28,087
The Ba is the character.
352
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:31,324
Every human had a Ba,
353
00:21:31,358 --> 00:21:35,462
and the Ba is the part
they believed
354
00:21:35,495 --> 00:21:40,833
moves out and is reincarnated
in another life,
355
00:21:40,867 --> 00:21:42,935
another living human.
356
00:21:44,771 --> 00:21:47,674
NARRATOR: Ancient astronaut
theorists suggest
357
00:21:47,707 --> 00:21:51,077
that the concept of
what the Egyptians referred to
358
00:21:51,110 --> 00:21:55,382
as the Ba, or the detachment
of the spirit from the body,
359
00:21:55,415 --> 00:21:59,952
has been depicted in artwork
throughout history.
360
00:21:59,986 --> 00:22:02,088
Across the globe,
361
00:22:02,121 --> 00:22:06,659
over 1.5 billion people
believe in reincarnation,
362
00:22:06,693 --> 00:22:10,363
including nearly
all Eastern philosophies,
363
00:22:10,397 --> 00:22:14,767
as well as the Kabbalistic sect
of Judaism.
364
00:22:16,068 --> 00:22:19,406
Tibetans, we believe rebirth.
365
00:22:48,167 --> 00:22:52,439
In the Kabbalistic tradition
of Judaism,
366
00:22:52,472 --> 00:22:57,544
reincarnation is considered
a fundamental belief.
367
00:22:57,577 --> 00:23:00,046
And unlike other religions,
368
00:23:00,079 --> 00:23:02,549
which believe
you have only one lifetime
369
00:23:02,582 --> 00:23:04,817
in which to get it right,
370
00:23:04,851 --> 00:23:09,656
in the Kabbalistic tradition,
it is believed
371
00:23:09,689 --> 00:23:14,994
that souls are given multiple
chances to get it right.
372
00:23:15,027 --> 00:23:20,166
So souls are believed
to reincarnate time after time.
373
00:23:23,836 --> 00:23:26,639
NARRATOR: The idea
of the preexistence of the soul
374
00:23:26,673 --> 00:23:30,777
was once a significant doctrine
of the Christian canon,
375
00:23:30,810 --> 00:23:33,480
before it had been excised
from the teachings
376
00:23:33,513 --> 00:23:39,619
by Roman emperor
Justinian the Great in 553 AD.
377
00:23:39,652 --> 00:23:43,155
The early Christian belief
in reincarnation
378
00:23:43,189 --> 00:23:45,525
was eventually declared
a heresy.
379
00:23:45,558 --> 00:23:48,461
Instead of recycling to Earth
over and over again,
380
00:23:48,495 --> 00:23:51,731
you now only have one
destination after this life.
381
00:23:51,764 --> 00:23:54,701
That destination
is either Heaven or it's Hell,
382
00:23:54,734 --> 00:23:57,236
depending on how
you behaved in life.
383
00:23:57,269 --> 00:24:00,540
It was used
as a control mechanism.
384
00:24:00,573 --> 00:24:04,577
YOUNG: In ancient Greece,
Socrates, Pythagoras
385
00:24:04,611 --> 00:24:09,849
and Plato all commented on the
possibility of reincarnation.
386
00:24:09,882 --> 00:24:13,620
In the dialogues, Plato says,
387
00:24:13,653 --> 00:24:18,591
"I am confident that there truly
is such a thing as living again,
388
00:24:18,625 --> 00:24:20,927
and that the living spring
from the dead."
389
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:25,031
So here's a strong sense
of reincarnation.
390
00:24:25,064 --> 00:24:28,234
CORY: There are many beliefs
around the world,
391
00:24:28,267 --> 00:24:31,070
that reincarnation exists.
392
00:24:31,103 --> 00:24:34,774
Some people believe
that certain types of souls
393
00:24:34,807 --> 00:24:38,711
are able to come back,
not just in one body,
394
00:24:38,745 --> 00:24:43,950
but in several bodies at once
to perform specific tasks.
395
00:24:43,983 --> 00:24:46,118
And that's one
of the reasons why
396
00:24:46,152 --> 00:24:48,588
there are so many more people
on the Earth today
397
00:24:48,621 --> 00:24:50,056
than there used to be.
398
00:24:50,089 --> 00:24:52,158
And also it is possible for you
399
00:24:52,191 --> 00:24:55,895
to reincarnate
from other planets.
400
00:24:55,928 --> 00:24:59,298
TSOUKALOS: Oftentimes, when
reincarnation is discussed,
401
00:24:59,331 --> 00:25:00,967
we only talk about it
402
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,070
that people are reincarnated
here on Earth,
403
00:25:04,103 --> 00:25:06,606
and I personally always thought
404
00:25:06,639 --> 00:25:10,943
that that was a limiting idea
of reincarnation.
405
00:25:10,977 --> 00:25:16,282
I think even extraterrestrial
organisms-- biological ones--
406
00:25:16,315 --> 00:25:19,919
would be reincarnated
throughout the universe.
407
00:25:23,690 --> 00:25:25,892
NARRATOR:
If souls are indeed recycling
408
00:25:25,925 --> 00:25:29,662
through various bodies,
as so many cultures,
409
00:25:29,696 --> 00:25:32,899
both ancient and modern,
have proposed,
410
00:25:32,932 --> 00:25:37,003
is this simply the natural
continuation of life
411
00:25:37,036 --> 00:25:39,972
or might this process
be directed
412
00:25:40,006 --> 00:25:42,642
towards some greater end?
413
00:25:42,675 --> 00:25:46,212
One that reaches
far beyond Earth?
414
00:25:46,245 --> 00:25:49,348
Perhaps further clues
can be found
415
00:25:49,381 --> 00:25:52,619
by examining the stories
of those who claim
416
00:25:52,652 --> 00:25:56,889
to have been reincarnated with
a specific purpose for humanity.
417
00:26:04,396 --> 00:26:05,965
NARRATOR:
Dharamshala, India,
418
00:26:05,998 --> 00:26:10,236
May 17, 2015.
419
00:26:10,269 --> 00:26:12,171
CROWD (chanting):
We want justice!
420
00:26:12,204 --> 00:26:14,674
-MAN: What do we want?
-CROWD: We want freedom!
421
00:26:14,707 --> 00:26:16,108
MAN:
What do we want?
422
00:26:16,142 --> 00:26:17,944
(crowd chanting indistinctly)
423
00:26:17,977 --> 00:26:19,979
NARRATOR:
Tibetan exiles in India,
424
00:26:20,012 --> 00:26:22,148
including
the current Dalai Lama,
425
00:26:22,181 --> 00:26:25,017
renew their call
for Communist China
426
00:26:25,051 --> 00:26:27,319
to release the high-ranking
Buddhist monk
427
00:26:27,353 --> 00:26:30,890
they have held captive
for the past 20 years.
428
00:26:30,923 --> 00:26:34,393
Gedhun Choekyi Nyima
is considered
429
00:26:34,426 --> 00:26:37,296
one of the world's longest-held
political prisoners.
430
00:26:37,329 --> 00:26:41,033
He has been held captive
since 1995,
431
00:26:41,067 --> 00:26:44,336
when at the age of six,
he was recognized
432
00:26:44,370 --> 00:26:47,707
as the 11th reincarnation
of the Panchen Lama,
433
00:26:47,740 --> 00:26:51,010
the second most important
spiritual leader of Tibet
434
00:26:51,043 --> 00:26:55,347
after the Dalai Lama himself.
435
00:26:55,381 --> 00:26:58,284
NICK POPE: The Dalai Lama
unilaterally announced
436
00:26:58,317 --> 00:27:00,753
that they'd found
the Panchen Lama.
437
00:27:00,787 --> 00:27:04,223
Now, the Chinese placed him
under house arrest in China,
438
00:27:04,256 --> 00:27:06,959
and he's not been
heard from since.
439
00:27:06,993 --> 00:27:09,896
The Chinese government
installed, effectively,
440
00:27:09,929 --> 00:27:11,731
their own candidate.
441
00:27:11,764 --> 00:27:13,365
The reason for this
442
00:27:13,399 --> 00:27:16,703
seems to be that
the previous Panchen Lama
443
00:27:16,736 --> 00:27:18,871
had spoken out
against Chinese Communism,
444
00:27:18,905 --> 00:27:22,842
and the Chinese government
was probably worried about that.
445
00:27:22,875 --> 00:27:26,913
NARRATOR: Like most other
Eastern religions,
446
00:27:26,946 --> 00:27:28,380
the belief in reincarnation
447
00:27:28,414 --> 00:27:32,218
is central to the Tibetan
Buddhist philosophy.
448
00:27:32,251 --> 00:27:34,954
NARRATOR:
The current Dalai Lama
449
00:27:34,987 --> 00:27:38,124
is the 14th
in his reincarnation lineage,
450
00:27:38,157 --> 00:27:42,428
but he claims to be the 74th
incarnation of his spirit,
451
00:27:42,461 --> 00:27:46,866
which is said to trace back
to the deity Chenrezig,
452
00:27:46,899 --> 00:27:50,069
the founding god
of the Tibetan people.
453
00:27:51,838 --> 00:27:55,341
...is a very special
dedicated compassion
454
00:27:55,374 --> 00:27:58,978
Buddha manifested for Tibet.
455
00:28:10,456 --> 00:28:14,360
CORY: This being continues to
come back through reincarnations
456
00:28:14,393 --> 00:28:17,363
to simply help
the Tibetan people
457
00:28:17,396 --> 00:28:20,099
and the humans on the Earth
458
00:28:20,132 --> 00:28:23,335
to also find their way
to enlightenment.
459
00:28:26,338 --> 00:28:29,742
NARRATOR: It is said
that Chenrezig made a vow
460
00:28:29,776 --> 00:28:33,112
that he would not rest until he
had "liberated all the beings
461
00:28:33,145 --> 00:28:36,115
in all the realms of suffering."
462
00:28:36,148 --> 00:28:40,787
Tibetan Buddhists believe, that
in the form of the Dalai Lama,
463
00:28:40,820 --> 00:28:45,357
he returns to Earth in a quest
to fulfill this mission.
464
00:28:45,391 --> 00:28:49,061
But according to
ancient astronaut theorists,
465
00:28:49,095 --> 00:28:52,765
Chenrezig was not merely
an enlightened being,
466
00:28:52,799 --> 00:28:55,835
he was an extraterrestrial
visitor to Earth
467
00:28:55,868 --> 00:28:57,870
in the remote past.
468
00:28:57,904 --> 00:29:01,808
TSOUKALOS: In many of
the renderings similar to his,
469
00:29:01,841 --> 00:29:06,779
you have these Buddhas
that are in this lotus position
470
00:29:06,813 --> 00:29:10,549
that seem to be sitting
inside some sort of vehicles.
471
00:29:10,582 --> 00:29:13,252
They look like lotus flowers,
472
00:29:13,285 --> 00:29:18,825
and you have them surrounded
by flames and smoke.
473
00:29:18,858 --> 00:29:22,028
CHILDRESS:
Chenrezig is often seen floating
474
00:29:22,061 --> 00:29:25,264
in a kind of UFO-shaped disc
475
00:29:25,297 --> 00:29:27,967
with different objects
around him.
476
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,871
So, it would seem that really,
for Tibetan Buddhists,
477
00:29:31,904 --> 00:29:34,941
the Dalai Lama
is a reincarnation
478
00:29:34,974 --> 00:29:38,845
of some kind
of extraterrestrial god
479
00:29:38,878 --> 00:29:43,449
who has chosen the Tibetan
people as his people,
480
00:29:43,482 --> 00:29:48,020
and he continually reincarnates
over and over again,
481
00:29:48,054 --> 00:29:51,490
to lead these people.
482
00:29:55,194 --> 00:29:57,196
NARRATOR:
According to researchers,
483
00:29:57,229 --> 00:30:00,399
the vast majority
of reincarnated individuals
484
00:30:00,432 --> 00:30:04,503
are completely unaware
of their previous lives.
485
00:30:04,536 --> 00:30:07,606
But if the Dalai Lama
is returning
486
00:30:07,639 --> 00:30:10,176
to fulfill a recognized mission,
487
00:30:10,209 --> 00:30:12,945
could there be others
who knowingly come back
488
00:30:12,979 --> 00:30:15,547
with a task to complete?
489
00:30:20,286 --> 00:30:21,988
NARRATOR:
Hillah, Iraq.
490
00:30:22,021 --> 00:30:24,991
Just over 50 miles
south of Baghdad.
491
00:30:25,024 --> 00:30:28,427
Scattered over 2,000 acres,
492
00:30:28,460 --> 00:30:31,230
in the center
of the war-torn nation,
493
00:30:31,263 --> 00:30:35,935
lie the ruins of one of the
ancient world's greatest cities,
494
00:30:35,968 --> 00:30:37,603
Babylon.
495
00:30:37,636 --> 00:30:42,608
During the 1980s,
Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein
496
00:30:42,641 --> 00:30:46,145
attempted
to reconstruct the city.
497
00:30:46,178 --> 00:30:50,349
He built himself
a replica structure
498
00:30:50,382 --> 00:30:52,952
on the ancient foundation
of the palace
499
00:30:52,985 --> 00:30:58,124
of the sixth century Babylonian
king, Nebuchadnezzar II,
500
00:30:58,157 --> 00:31:04,196
and even made plans to restore
his famous Hanging Gardens.
501
00:31:04,230 --> 00:31:07,533
In 1991, during
the First Gulf War,
502
00:31:07,566 --> 00:31:10,502
the world was introduced
to Saddam Hussein,
503
00:31:10,536 --> 00:31:12,638
both as a military dictator,
504
00:31:12,671 --> 00:31:15,641
but also, we learned
during the 1980s,
505
00:31:15,674 --> 00:31:17,576
Saddam had spent
over $500 million
506
00:31:17,609 --> 00:31:19,912
rebuilding Babylon.
507
00:31:19,946 --> 00:31:22,081
CHILDRESS:
One of the interesting things
508
00:31:22,114 --> 00:31:23,950
that came out in the news
509
00:31:23,983 --> 00:31:28,287
around the time
of the First Gulf War with Iraq,
510
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,222
was that Saddam Hussein believed
511
00:31:30,256 --> 00:31:33,625
that he was the reincarnation
of Nebuchadnezzar II.
512
00:31:36,095 --> 00:31:39,331
YOUNG:
Saddam Hussein said that he was
513
00:31:39,365 --> 00:31:41,500
the reincarnation
of Nebuchadnezzar.
514
00:31:41,533 --> 00:31:45,171
He had coins made
with his image on one side,
515
00:31:45,204 --> 00:31:47,473
and Nebuchadnezzar on the other.
516
00:31:47,506 --> 00:31:51,143
The original bricks
in Babylon had the name
517
00:31:51,177 --> 00:31:54,213
Nebuchadnezzar engraved on them.
518
00:31:54,246 --> 00:31:57,349
When Saddam rebuilt
the ancient city of Babylon,
519
00:31:57,383 --> 00:32:00,619
he had bricks inscribed
with his own name
520
00:32:00,652 --> 00:32:04,991
and the name Nebuchadnezzar
engraved on them as well.
521
00:32:09,028 --> 00:32:12,064
NARRATOR:
Nebuchadnezzar II was a powerful
522
00:32:12,098 --> 00:32:16,135
and ambitious ruler, and during
his reign he made Babylon
523
00:32:16,168 --> 00:32:20,239
the most powerful kingdom
in the region.
524
00:32:20,272 --> 00:32:25,277
Much like Saddam Hussein,
Nebuchadnezzar II also set out
525
00:32:25,311 --> 00:32:28,614
to reconstruct the already
ancient city,
526
00:32:28,647 --> 00:32:31,017
specifically
focusing on restoring
527
00:32:31,050 --> 00:32:35,287
the Great Ziggurat of Babylon,
the Etemenanki temple.
528
00:32:37,723 --> 00:32:41,760
Scholars have proposed
that the site may actually be
529
00:32:41,793 --> 00:32:46,032
the former location
of the biblical Tower of Babel,
530
00:32:46,065 --> 00:32:48,434
which was constructed
after the Great Flood
531
00:32:48,467 --> 00:32:53,472
by orders of the ancient king,
Nimrod.
532
00:32:53,505 --> 00:32:56,075
TZADOK: Ancient legend tells us
that King Nebuchadnezzar
533
00:32:56,108 --> 00:32:59,678
was indeed himself
a reincarnation of the earlier
534
00:32:59,711 --> 00:33:02,448
Babylonian King Nimrod.
535
00:33:02,481 --> 00:33:07,653
Nimrod was the first world
dictator who created
536
00:33:07,686 --> 00:33:10,156
what was a world empire.
537
00:33:10,189 --> 00:33:14,193
Nimrod was of the descendants
of Noah.
538
00:33:14,226 --> 00:33:17,463
Now, Noah was very unique,
very interesting.
539
00:33:17,496 --> 00:33:20,566
He was born with certain
attributes which indicated
540
00:33:20,599 --> 00:33:23,035
that he was not of this world.
541
00:33:23,069 --> 00:33:25,337
NARRATOR:
If this is true,
542
00:33:25,371 --> 00:33:28,374
could it be that Saddam Hussein
was not only
543
00:33:28,407 --> 00:33:31,377
a reincarnation
of Nebuchadnezzar II,
544
00:33:31,410 --> 00:33:35,447
but also the biblical character
known as Nimrod?
545
00:33:37,483 --> 00:33:40,352
And might this being have
returned to fulfill a mission
546
00:33:40,386 --> 00:33:46,058
he was unable to complete
in his earlier incarnation?
547
00:33:46,092 --> 00:33:47,726
HENRY: What we're seeing here
is actually
548
00:33:47,759 --> 00:33:50,462
a progression of a soul,
or a spirit,
549
00:33:50,496 --> 00:33:53,499
beginning with Nimrod,
going through Nebuchadnezzar,
550
00:33:53,532 --> 00:33:57,103
and then reincarnating
as Saddam Hussein,
551
00:33:57,136 --> 00:34:00,506
who was trying to do exactly
the same thing in each lifetime.
552
00:34:03,709 --> 00:34:08,114
NARRATOR: If the existence of
the human soul can be proven,
553
00:34:08,147 --> 00:34:09,815
could it really carry remnants
554
00:34:09,848 --> 00:34:12,418
from previous lives?
555
00:34:12,451 --> 00:34:15,787
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes,
556
00:34:15,821 --> 00:34:18,190
and point to a number
of recent scientific
557
00:34:18,224 --> 00:34:20,426
discoveries for their proof,
558
00:34:20,459 --> 00:34:22,761
not only of reincarnation,
559
00:34:22,794 --> 00:34:26,332
but of mankind's
ancient alien origins.
560
00:34:37,276 --> 00:34:41,113
NARRATOR:
Stanton, Kentucky, July 2016.
561
00:34:41,147 --> 00:34:43,582
(siren wailing)
562
00:34:43,615 --> 00:34:47,686
A witness to the aftermath
of a fatal traffic collision
563
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:51,623
takes a photograph of the scene
as he drives past.
564
00:34:51,657 --> 00:34:56,528
Upon examination of the picture,
he notices the vestige
565
00:34:56,562 --> 00:34:59,298
of a figure
floating above the scene.
566
00:35:01,233 --> 00:35:04,170
Many have suggested that this
chilling photograph
567
00:35:04,203 --> 00:35:08,240
actually shows the soul
leaving the body.
568
00:35:08,274 --> 00:35:13,179
And today an increasing number
of scientists support the notion
569
00:35:13,212 --> 00:35:15,581
that there may really be
a spirit that continues on
570
00:35:15,614 --> 00:35:18,150
after the body dies.
571
00:35:20,419 --> 00:35:23,355
GOOD:
The vast body of information
572
00:35:23,389 --> 00:35:24,923
supporting the concept
573
00:35:24,956 --> 00:35:26,892
or the idea of reincarnation
574
00:35:26,925 --> 00:35:30,462
is getting stronger
and stronger.
575
00:35:30,496 --> 00:35:33,832
There's nothing in the science
that precludes that,
576
00:35:33,865 --> 00:35:36,802
and there's some information
that actually supports it.
577
00:35:39,538 --> 00:35:41,640
NARRATOR:
In 1996,
578
00:35:41,673 --> 00:35:44,776
renowned physicist
Sir Roger Penrose
579
00:35:44,810 --> 00:35:48,380
and anesthesiologist
Dr. Stuart Hameroff
580
00:35:48,414 --> 00:35:52,484
developed a quantum theory
of consciousness that supports
581
00:35:52,518 --> 00:35:55,254
the notion of a separate state
of an individual
582
00:35:55,287 --> 00:35:59,825
that can exist beyond the
confines of a physical body.
583
00:35:59,858 --> 00:36:04,796
Their work highlights structures
called microtubules,
584
00:36:04,830 --> 00:36:09,335
which they suggest
is the seat of the soul.
585
00:36:09,368 --> 00:36:11,903
GOOD:
Microtubules are light pipes
586
00:36:11,937 --> 00:36:15,507
that allow electrons
to flow unimpeded,
587
00:36:15,541 --> 00:36:17,543
so the body can talk to itself.
588
00:36:19,511 --> 00:36:22,848
It allows consciousness to flow
throughout the body,
589
00:36:22,881 --> 00:36:26,752
at least so the theory goes.
590
00:36:29,020 --> 00:36:32,358
NARRATOR: According to their
theory, the soul itself exists
591
00:36:32,391 --> 00:36:35,694
in an energetic state.
592
00:36:35,727 --> 00:36:38,830
When the body dies,
it returns to the universe,
593
00:36:38,864 --> 00:36:42,301
as it cannot be destroyed.
594
00:36:42,334 --> 00:36:45,371
And in the case of near-death
experiences,
595
00:36:45,404 --> 00:36:49,741
it may later return to the body
after resuscitation.
596
00:36:49,775 --> 00:36:52,444
Their theory suggests that
597
00:36:52,478 --> 00:36:56,915
what is happening is that some
energetic quantum essence
598
00:36:56,948 --> 00:37:00,386
of consciousness itself
that can exist as pure energy
599
00:37:00,419 --> 00:37:02,288
is exiting the body.
600
00:37:02,321 --> 00:37:04,656
And then, when the body
becomes viable again,
601
00:37:04,690 --> 00:37:07,326
it is able to reinhabit
the body through
602
00:37:07,359 --> 00:37:11,663
using these microtubules, much
like the idea of an antenna.
603
00:37:11,697 --> 00:37:14,900
We have the possibility that
this is an intelligent design.
604
00:37:14,933 --> 00:37:17,703
That there could be intelligent
beings before us
605
00:37:17,736 --> 00:37:21,607
who specifically designed
these biological bodies
606
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,410
to be vessels for the soul.
607
00:37:28,914 --> 00:37:31,750
NARRATOR: According
to ancient astronaut theorists,
608
00:37:31,783 --> 00:37:35,321
our latest scientific
discoveries reflect the stories
609
00:37:35,354 --> 00:37:39,591
written by our ancestors
over 3,500 years ago,
610
00:37:39,625 --> 00:37:42,528
detailing how the gods
fashioned the human body
611
00:37:42,561 --> 00:37:45,464
to possess a soul or spirit.
612
00:37:47,599 --> 00:37:49,868
When you look at, uh, one
of the earliest creation myths
613
00:37:49,901 --> 00:37:52,304
from Mesopotamia,
they talked about how,
614
00:37:52,338 --> 00:37:55,807
in order for a human body
to be animated,
615
00:37:55,841 --> 00:37:58,844
the gods needed to connect
the soul to it,
616
00:37:58,877 --> 00:38:01,747
or the spiritual consciousness
to it.
617
00:38:01,780 --> 00:38:04,983
Otherwise it just
doesn't function.
618
00:38:05,016 --> 00:38:08,620
HENRY: The gods
in ancient stories have all
619
00:38:08,654 --> 00:38:11,523
the hallmarks of what we call
extraterrestrials.
620
00:38:11,557 --> 00:38:15,594
They're deeply interested in the
idea of the soul, how to move
621
00:38:15,627 --> 00:38:18,497
the soul from one body
to another.
622
00:38:18,530 --> 00:38:21,099
We call that reincarnation.
623
00:38:21,132 --> 00:38:22,868
So the historical record
624
00:38:22,901 --> 00:38:25,971
of extraterrestrials tweaking
human bodies
625
00:38:26,004 --> 00:38:28,840
suggests
that the ultimate purpose
626
00:38:28,874 --> 00:38:30,809
of this genetic alteration
627
00:38:30,842 --> 00:38:35,647
is to make the human body
a better vehicle for the soul.
628
00:38:37,983 --> 00:38:40,686
NARRATOR: Are scientists
on the verge of uncovering
629
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:45,591
a profound truth-- that man
really does possess a soul,
630
00:38:45,624 --> 00:38:48,794
and human bodies are
physiologically designed
631
00:38:48,827 --> 00:38:53,432
to support it,
as our ancestors claimed?
632
00:38:53,465 --> 00:38:57,569
Ancient astronaut theorists
say yes, and believe
633
00:38:57,603 --> 00:39:01,006
the more important question...
is why?
634
00:39:09,481 --> 00:39:11,750
NARRATOR: New York City College
of Technology.
635
00:39:11,783 --> 00:39:15,120
August 2016.
636
00:39:15,153 --> 00:39:19,825
Physicist Gregory Matloff
publishes a paper arguing
637
00:39:19,858 --> 00:39:22,994
that consciousness may extend
beyond humans,
638
00:39:23,028 --> 00:39:26,498
and that the universe itself
might be self-aware.
639
00:39:26,532 --> 00:39:30,068
Prominent scientists
like Christoph Koch
640
00:39:30,101 --> 00:39:34,940
and Sir Roger Penrose
also support this notion.
641
00:39:34,973 --> 00:39:38,544
And researchers studying
reincarnation believe
642
00:39:38,577 --> 00:39:43,114
it might help explain why souls
are continuously recycled.
643
00:39:43,148 --> 00:39:45,984
There seems to be a process
where you reincarnate
644
00:39:46,017 --> 00:39:49,555
repeatedly, because there is
a larger consciousness
645
00:39:49,588 --> 00:39:51,857
that you're a part of.
646
00:39:51,890 --> 00:39:55,461
In short, we upload and download
consciousness,
647
00:39:55,494 --> 00:39:59,965
and we're creating a common body
of information.
648
00:39:59,998 --> 00:40:03,635
CORY: Cosmic consciousness
is expansive.
649
00:40:03,669 --> 00:40:06,505
It allows us to imagine
the possibilities
650
00:40:06,538 --> 00:40:10,175
beyond our 3D reality.
651
00:40:10,208 --> 00:40:14,880
Beyond our limited way
of seeing this reality
652
00:40:14,913 --> 00:40:16,147
right here on the Earth.
653
00:40:18,149 --> 00:40:20,819
NARRATOR:
But if human bodies were created
654
00:40:20,852 --> 00:40:24,556
as vessels for the soul
by extraterrestrial beings,
655
00:40:24,590 --> 00:40:27,893
as some ancient astronaut
theorists propose,
656
00:40:27,926 --> 00:40:30,596
was it to feed the human
experience into
657
00:40:30,629 --> 00:40:33,031
a shared cosmic consciousness?
658
00:40:33,064 --> 00:40:37,135
And if so, could the key
to uncovering the truth
659
00:40:37,168 --> 00:40:41,873
about our alien origins be
walking amongst us today?
660
00:40:41,907 --> 00:40:43,975
Some of the souls
that are currently
661
00:40:44,009 --> 00:40:46,011
walking around Planet Earth
662
00:40:46,044 --> 00:40:48,880
have been around
for a very long time,
663
00:40:48,914 --> 00:40:53,519
and may be traced back
to extraterrestrials visiting
664
00:40:53,552 --> 00:40:55,687
in the remote past.
665
00:40:55,721 --> 00:40:58,056
The truth of our past
could definitely be
666
00:40:58,089 --> 00:41:00,559
part of our future.
667
00:41:02,227 --> 00:41:04,996
CHILDRESS: Extraterrestrial
reincarnated souls
668
00:41:05,030 --> 00:41:08,500
have been with us for thousands
and thousands of years,
669
00:41:08,534 --> 00:41:14,773
guiding us, leading us over
and over again as best they can
670
00:41:14,806 --> 00:41:18,176
to help us achieve
our various goals.
671
00:41:18,209 --> 00:41:21,112
HENRY:
We have to realize that
672
00:41:21,146 --> 00:41:24,516
extraterrestrial knowledge
is present in our world,
673
00:41:24,550 --> 00:41:27,285
that these souls carry
direct evidence and knowledge
674
00:41:27,318 --> 00:41:28,920
from our past
675
00:41:28,954 --> 00:41:31,557
and are perhaps being used
to fulfill
676
00:41:31,590 --> 00:41:34,059
the mission of these
extraterrestrial beings.
677
00:41:34,092 --> 00:41:37,996
NARRATOR: Is it possible
that humans are designed
678
00:41:38,029 --> 00:41:40,832
to carry the souls
of otherworldly beings
679
00:41:40,866 --> 00:41:44,570
that came to Earth
thousands of years ago?
680
00:41:44,603 --> 00:41:48,907
Perhaps as we learn more
about reincarnation
681
00:41:48,940 --> 00:41:52,210
we will be able to access
ancient knowledge
682
00:41:52,243 --> 00:41:55,246
seeded deep within each of us.
683
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:58,216
We may also discover
that the truths
684
00:41:58,249 --> 00:42:00,886
about our extraterrestrial past
685
00:42:00,919 --> 00:42:04,623
are much closer
than we ever realized.
