Does John Travolta believe his baby is the reincarnation of his dead son?

If the notion of 'replacing' Jett sounds harsh, one must first put it in the context of Scientologists' bizarre beliefs.
According to the doctrine laid down by LRH, human bodies are merely vessels for drifting alien spirits, called Thetans.
If you are prepared to accept such a tenet (and this, incredibly, is one of the more believable aspects of Scientology) it is a small step to conclude that a dearly missed child can be reincarnated in the form of your next offspring.
And this, a number of senior U.S. sources assure me, is precisely what Preston in particular believes.
Tory Christman, a high-ranking Scientologist before her defection ten years ago, has known Travolta well ever since he joined the sect in 1975.
She told me: 'I remember John and Kelly when they were expecting Jett - they were so excited about their first child. But they were badly let down over his autism.
'I have known many bereaved parents in Scientology who have tried to get pregnant in order to give birth to the same Thetan. As far as they're concerned, it's the same being in a different body - and a healthier body at that. I knew one specific couple who absolutely insist their youngest child is the reincarnation of the kid they lost.
'You have to be seriously brainwashed to believe that, of course, but that's Scientology for you.'
