Many people who have studied claims of past life recall are undecided whether it is an historical recollection due to reincarnation, or simply information received from the subconscious mind.

Past life recall generally comes about spontaneously and is more common in children than in adults.

People who believe in reincarnation have concluded that this is because children are closer to their past lives (their younger in their new life) and their minds are therefore more likely to be influenced by their past lives, as they are simply closer to it.

Their minds have not received significant inputs from their new life, making past life recall easier.

If you believe in past life recall then you will believe in reincarnation and the law of karma, which are central beliefs of many Eastern religions.

Reincarnation postulates that one can return to existence in a new physical form when after you die i.e. you are reincarnated as a human, animal or even vegetable.

The form one takes, it is believed, is determined by the law of karma - That the higher or lower form one takes is due to one's behavior in the previous life.

If you were bad in your previous life you will reap the consequences when you are reincarnated and the reverse is true:

If you were good in your previous life you will come back in a higher form and live a happier life.

Both reincarnation and karma are central to the theory of past life recall.
