If people accepted the fact that we live more than once and that past karma affects us in this life, a lot would make more sense. Explaining why children can feel like they're in the wrong body, explaining why some people are homosexuals, why some children have extremely strong personalities of hatred and violence from a very young age...
As science is now, we simply cannot properly diagnose these issues.
True story - long ago, when I was a young woman of about 23, when households had one landline, no answering machines or voicemail and no home computers or internet nor any way to spy or learn about anyone. At that time, I worked at a very large company that had locations in numerous cities in the U.S. and abroad. One of my co-workers told of seeing a psychic who was incredible and who told her things she didn't know about but that came true.
I immediately asked for the psychic's phone number and weeks later called her and asked if I could see her for a reading. She asked for my first name only and then said, "Come on Wednesday at 3:00pm. That's usually a good day for me." And then she gave me her address.
On that day I drove quite a distance to her address, a low-income modest house. The pleasant, middle-aged woman answered the door and let me in. We sat in folding chairs opposite each other in her kitchen. Pictures of the Virgin Mary and Jesus adorned her walls. The reading was free. Any 'donation' I might want to give would be donated to the Catholic Church.
She told me to tell her nothing about myself and to allow her to tell me what she saw first. At the end I could ask questions.
I wish I had thought to bring a recording device. The woman talked for an entire hour and spoke detail after detail about my current life, people in my family, friends I was seeing, places I had traveled. All correct. She gave me short term and long term predictions that were very specific. All of them came true. One of the things she said to me was that I was a very old soul and had lived many lives. She said I had excellent intuition because of that and that I must always trust it and never go against what I was sensing, even if I didn't know why. I followed her advice and over the years avoided several bad outcomes including a fatal small plane crash, a helicopter crash and a motorcycle crash. (Seriously!)
So, I have to believe her statement that we are reincarnated as a choice and that we pick our next life and we do so as a means of experiencing all the aspects of life (good, bad, and ugly) and the accumulation of experiences allows us to ascend to a higher consciousness.
The teachings that makes the most sense to me (if I believe I have been reincarnated) is that when we die, our consciousness and soul go to meet up with God/Spirit and have a review of our life's actions and choices. That could be called 'Judgment Day'. Perhaps if we are unredeemable and especially evil we are cast into hell immediately for a period of time/or forever.
But if not, we are given a hearing and review and undertake a full 40,000 ft view of what we did in the past life. All failings and poor choices are discussed and accounted for. Thus, since we fell short, we must go back again, rechallenge ourselves and endeavor to do better the next time. As we improve, we ascend. The reincarnation stops and full ascension happens when we live one full life without sin.
If she channeled a demon, a spirit of the Nephilim, the demon could easily know all of those details of your life and would be able to provide very accurate information to the "psychic."
In many cases, the "psychic" doesn't know they're actually communicating with a demon and have good intentions in sharing their "gifts" with others.
Something to keep in mind.

There's a reason the 10 commandments ban idolatry.
Why do you immediately suggest that her gift was from a demon? Why do you go there? I think you have become jaded and have lost your sense of hope and faith.
I had been raised Catholic, too and we had these same pictures of Jesus and Mary in our house. I do not see this as anything but worshipping Jesus, the son of God and his mother. Not as 'idol worship'. You see, God has no face. How do you worship him if he has no image? You think of his 'only begotten son' Jesus as likely the closest image to God we could find. He and his mother Mary are who we include in our prayers as the conduit to worshipping God himself.
So, I felt completely comfortable and safe when she was working with me.
However, to put your fears to rest, I'll tell you how before we had our session, she first grabbed my two hands (we were sitting opposite each other and knee-to-knee).
She prayed over us and used Jesus' name and said she was putting a 'circle of white light' around us to protect us before she went into her session.
I suffered no ill effects from the session and do not think casting aspersion of my experience or her gifts as being demonic is useful or warranted.
I read an interesting study where they say a criminal mindset may be genetic. Someone in your past generation could have been a bad ass criminal and one of his descendants inherits the gene. We have so much to learn.

I respectfully disagree that we live more than one life.

That was a wild read. Wow.
We thank your many lives for relating your experience and intuitions. God bless us. Every one.
Wow.. a real oracle. God bless

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
I believe the Bible so I'll never accept this "fact" of yours.
