I have seen a few episodes of this series. Episode 6 was the one I was most interested in. I don't believe in reincarnation, and I don't think NDE's are trustworthy, but I find both very intriguing.
I have talked to a few people with NDE experiences. Definitely interesting, but that each persons experience often parallels their beliefs is telling, though there have been some who say their NDE changed their beliefs completely.
I only know one person who says he remembers a past life in some detail, but I must admit some the cases I've read from Ian Stevenson and Jim Tucker are compelling.
ETA: Lifetime has a series called "Ghost inside my child" about children remembering past lives. You can watch a few episodes on YT as well as some clips.
My biggest thing with RC before I accepted it was true, was wondering how it would work. I just could not conceive of it / imagine it. Then I was made award in no uncertain terms that it was true, then I've slowly worked out more details.
But to understand it better, one must learn other things first perhaps. Or unlearn others. Then one must reflect more on their own personality / body and others. At some point it becomes so obvious, one might wonder, how did I ever believe it not to be true.
Relatively few will go all the way to complete understanding - although acceptance of past lives will skyrocket in the 2030s and other modes of thought/beliefs will collapse.

Care to elaborate?

I have been aware of and studied about reincarnation for many years. I have never had this experience. It sounds almost religious in nature, which leads me to ask... what was the information or experience that convinced you?

Relatively few go all the way with anything in this world. No surprise there.
You sound quite confident. What makes you so sure?
The problem with reincarnation from my perspective is not a lack of evidence, but rather a lack of conclusive evidence. It still comes down to faith, just as any religion does.
Note that my reply to you is not a critique as much as it is observation and inquiry. I would like to hear more of what you have to say.

You sound sincere. Had a typo, I meant to say AWARE not AWARD.
Proof is in the eye of the beholder.
Let's see if I can do some bullet explanation
- 2005 - Working on reducing / eliminating my PRIDE while writing a book (Now published - many moons later, but I won't reveal the title nor provide any specific details of the plot -it's fiction, not non-fiction. Better to be anonymous on ATS).
PRIDE as you may know is sin #1. It is the ORIGINAL SIN. The sin of LUCIFER (Which is more oral tradition, then written anywhere in the bible).
History Channel doc - Seven Deadly Sins
From movie - KUNDUN [So I fully accept REVELATION is happening right now, yet at the same time, I'm not Christian. And I accept reincarnation as true for everyone, yet I'm not Buddhist either. I have no religion, but some things in religion are true.]
..so anyway...I discovered a very specific way to eliminate pride [Turns out it was conscious pride only, not unconscious - which I am working on now]. And I condensed it down to 7 sentences. THey are rooted in a way of thinking that originates from Denmark. When I say rooted, I mean when I realized what Jante Law does to the mind, I realized the power of words. But I modified it to make it stronger, better, and more direct. Eliminated half of Jante Law - which made no sense to me...and discovered a couple of others.
Denmark (and the rest of Scandinavia) often shows up as the HAPPIEST and most PEACEFUL country in the world. And the most TRUTHFUL. I realized how these metrics were related to Jante Law. PRIDE = EGO in some circles. PRIDE consists of 7 emotions / feelings. If you can reject those 7 feelings, you will eliminate your conscious pride, then be ready to tackle the unconscious pride you still have. 7 is a HOLY number.
So...turns out I was being watched and led to do this. And as I was getting close to terminating these 7 feelings / understanding the components of PRIDE... -->
- Dec 2005 - very complicated awakening event. Taking place over 2 weeks, multiple locations, multiple people. Involved mind control, telepathy, total control of my body and other people. It's not worth explaining here. Anyway...so I learned some things about who we are, the future, our past...some things were directly told to me, some as clues. "They" know I'm a voracious learner and open to many experiences. And I am very persistent when I need to learn something. I've traveled to ~80 countries for starters and lived in a few of those. But far less when this event occurred.
Anyway -- many twists and turns over the years (mistakes, lessons I needed to learn) ...but now I'm in the stretch run to completing the transformation and fulfilling "our" destiny - the purpose of reincarnation, so to speak.... If all goes as planned, sometime later this decade, I will get rid of all my emotional baggage. AKA - karma. I'm going to break the cycle of reincarnation! And it will occur around the same time as other end time events. In other recent threads here I've posted lots of video about hidden powers. Some of those I am going to activate by the time I'm finished. And there are certain abilities which it's better for me to not speak of...because some things you have to experience IN PERSON. They are UN-be-LIE-ve-able!
Here's a good metaphor!
Intelligent Design....

WE are THEIR ultimate creation. WE just don't know it yet. But not everyone wants to be Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee......most prefer to just be I.
I, like ai-yai-yai. or ai-yah. (I - yes)

Only those souls who CHOOSE TO (Or have been CHOOSING ("good" / questioning / understanding - so to speak) over multiple lives)...are going to get up. Who wants to "meet their maker?"
Who wants to defeat the final IN ME?
