Consult the extensive literature on alleged past lives, and a singular pattern soon emerges: most died a sudden death.
An unusual statistic, it is a giveaway, indicating the restive soul whose life has been unfairly cut short; deprived of a smooth transition, the traumatized victim becomes fixated, still hovering at the edge of life, unable to move on.
Some were children who died a violent death. Others died in a fire; yet others in war. Some were murdered; others perished in an accident or natural catastrophe.
