According to Druze beliefs, birthmarks are related to past-life deaths.

".Nobody’s here for the first time" (יִצְחָק בן שלמה לוּרְיָא אשכנזי)

“I was taken to the place where the sun sets. While at that place, I thought I would come back to earth again, and the old man with whom I was staying said to me, ‘My son, did you not speak about wanting to go to the earth again?’ I had, as a matter of fact, only thought of it, yet he knew what I wanted. Then he said to me, ‘You can go, but you must ask the chief first.’ Then I went and told the chief of the village of my desire, and he said to me, ‘You may go and obtain your revenge upon the people who killed your relatives and you.’ Then I was brought down to earth. There I lived until I died of old age. As I was lying, someone said to me, ‘Come, let us go away.’ So then we went toward the setting of the sun. There we came to a village where we met all the dead. From that place I came to this earth again for the third time, and here I am.” ~ Chief Thunder Cloud aka T.C., a Winnebago (Ho-Chunk tribe) shaman

“The power that keeps the individual soul bound to the wheel of life and death is its thirst for separate existence, which is a condition for a host of cravings connected with objects and experiences of the world of duality. It is for the fulfillment of cravings that the ego-mind keeps on incarnating itself. When all forms of craving disappear, the impressions which create and enliven the ego-mind disappear. With the disappearance of these impressions, the ego-mind itself is shed with the result that there is only the realisation of the one eternal, unchanging Oversoul or God, Who is the only reality. God-realisation is the end of the incarnations of the ego-mind because it is the end of its very existence. As long as the ego-mind exists in some form, there is an inevitable and irresistible urge for incarnations. When there is cessation of the ego-mind, there is cessation of incarnations in the final fulfillment of Self-realisation.” ~ मेहेर बाबा

“Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be. As the embodied soul continuously passes, in this body, from childhood to youth to old age, the soul similarly passes into another body at death. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change.” ~ श्रीमद् भगवद् गीता

“Worn-out garments are shed by the body; worn-out bodies are shed by the dweller within the body. New bodies are donned by the dweller, like garments.” ~ श्रीमद् भगवद् गीता

“Birth is not a beginning; death is not an end. There is existence without limitation; there is continuity without a starting-point. Existence without limitation is Space. Continuity without a starting point is Time. There is birth, there is death, there is issuing forth, there is entering in.” ~ 庄子

"DNA is the physical expression of the stories of our lives and the stories of our ancestors’ lives on the physical level. That’s what DNA is. Everything that your ancestors did, both good and bad, is written in you and what we are are the attempts to correct the mistakes that our forbearers made in their reading and interpretation of The Book of Life, which we are all expressions of. If you exist in this world, it means that there has been a fault on the part of your ancestors in understanding what life is and they have to keep coming back here in different forms, in different configurations, in different combinations, in different permutations, which express themselves as different people, in different bodies, in different times, in different cultures, until they get it right. That’s what life in this world is.

The Hindus have an expression which they call Karma. Karma, to the best of my understanding, in Sanskrit means action, means deed. In Hebrew, we have what’s called Mikra. You can hear that those are the very same letters in another configuration. It is an anagram of the Sanskrit word of Karma. Mikra is the actual original and what Mikra means is ‘The Holy Writ which is read.’ In the Kabbalah, we learn that there are four basic levels of existence, the lowest one of which is Ha’Olam Asia, which means The World of Doing. Karma, therefore, is Ha’Mikra, The Holy Writ in The World of Deeds. And we keep coming back to The World of Deeds, until we have interpreted The Book of Life, which is Torah, correctly, and that is expressed in our behavior, in our interactions with people, and when we get it right, we don’t have to come back to this school anymore. The mistakes that we have made in the past, which we are correcting in the present, and which we will continue to correct into what we understand as the future also impact on our physical structures. We are born with the physical interpretation of the higher, more abstract levels of interpretation of The Book of Life.

When we have not learned The Book of Life correctly; when we have misinterpreted because of a reduced Moral State, we have to go back into the World of Asia, to live on the World of Mikra B’Asia, which is exactly the word Mikra, which means Karma in Sanskrit. What the people who teach Hinduism don’t understand is that it’s coming out of the Hebrew, but they’re doctrine of having to be reborn, having to come back, until you get your Moral Shiite together is absolutely correct." ~ Doreen Ellen Bell-Dotan

Wider Context of Reincarnation

7 Billion Souls

"The Sages teach that the vast majority of people alive today are reincarnations, which are sent back down because they did not complete their previous mission. In Chapter 4 verse 3 the Vilna Gaon gives us a sign into how to see what went wrong in our previous lives:

'And how could one know what he corrupted before (in his previous gilgul)? There is on this 2 signs. One - that (sin) which he stumbles many times in this gilgul. On this they said "let him examine his ways", which ones does he stumble. Two - which sin does his soul desire greatly, because it was used to it previously and became second nature. Therefore there are some men who desire one sin more, and others who desire a different sin. And on this they said "examine his ways" - that he should also fix his ways' (Rabbi Eliyahu of Vilna)."
