Persistence of Past-Life Memories: Case Study of an Indian Woman Who, in Her Childhood, Claimed to Recall a Previous Life
Abstract1
An Indian woman2 with persistence of alleged Past-Life memories was reported to me in 2023 (long after onset at age four in 1991) with previously no systematic investigation nor journalistic coverage. “Any person with personal such memory-recall” being called a Jatismar3 in India, I coined an English word “Memocariate” here thus terming the corresponding systematic investigation as a Case Of the Seeming Memocariate (COSM) alternatively called a Case Of the Reincarnation Type (CORT). Lingering memory aside, a curious feature discovered in my investigation, unlike the famous cases such as Shanti4 and Jagdish5, is existence of remarkable False Memories amid an extremely strong COSM / CORT. Although seeming memocariates are already known to have memory errors in even very strong cases, this one has the Falsehood so radical that the laymen and possibly the mainstream scholars alike would be puzzled. Using interdisciplinary approach, the case is evaluated and presented supposedly scientifically.
