As I said earlier, there’s this supposed phenomenon called “veil of forgetfulness.” It’s meant to be a spiritual veil placed over a soul as it departs the afterlife to fuse with its earthly body to prevent remembrance of life in the afterlife (the hedonic pleasures of life in the afterlife in comparison to Earth, especially if said soul is going to have a tough life on Earth) + past lives (apparently more useful if a soul has had an unpleasant past life). Point is some kids don’t lose this memory as they grow up and are still able to retain memories of a prior existence well into adulthood.

I’m no quasi-spiritual wack but I’ve been looking into this recently (and the idea of reincarnation) and both have convincing theories.
