Cases when people remember a past life. People who remember their past life. The boy remembers how he jumped out of the window of a burning building

Read carefully!! Please read the letter carefully! We had a normal and ordinary family like. Once, about 3 years ago, we hired a housekeeper because we couldn't handle the housework ourselves. But life was still not sweet. My older sister raised me and my brother alone, it was hard, but everything was fine, we didn’t need anything. At first, everything was fine, after 2 weeks the housekeeper became a little strange, she began to be afraid of any rustle in our house, over time, when she was cleaning, she felt even worse and worse (let's call her Lyudmila, I don’t remember her name anymore). I found an explanation for myself - I thought that I was drinking 100%, or I was sick with something. And then the day came when she came .. but .. after 35 minutes she asked to return home, because she felt terrible ... The next day, she comes ... she no longer enters our house, she stands at the threshold. Crying, even sobbing, she says: everything .. I can’t do it anymore, I don’t know what they want from me (says to my sister) they ask me to tell you that the time has come .. (my sister asks who asks ??? what time?) but she is sobbing, shouting something .. it means she is trying to give our money back - for the work that we gave her - her sister does not take of course. She takes this money and runs away. She said something else, but I don't remember what. It seems they forgot this strange lady and everything is calm. But.. a couple of days later, my sister wakes up at night... wakes me up, shaking... I don't understand what happened at all. At that moment, when I was already completely awake, I saw her crazy eyes .. I felt sick ... she chokingly walks from corner to corner and constantly repeated: I remembered ... I remembered .... I was sitting in an armchair, I It was terribly scary, what happened to her? what does she say? some kind of nonsense! And at that moment the phone rang... I wanted to pick up the phone, I held out my hand, and suddenly... my sister abruptly almost rushes at me and says in a trembling voice: Don't pick it up!! Don't pick it up!! it's them!! I sat back in my seat. She began to speak: I remembered my past life... I saw it with my own eyes.. I remembered how I was dying.. I was lying on the bed... the railings of the bed were made of iron pattern.. I was alone in the room.. I was dying. I was very very old.. I was dying of death.. there was no one around. Suddenly, my whole life passed before my eyes in seconds .. I died ... then I walked along the corridor, the corridor was very dark, but at the end there was light. I walked, walked for a very long time. Soon everything became brighter and brighter... I entered... I was in paradise... I saw paradise... I saw God. .. ´´ she says choking, and sometimes interjecting - we must tell you quickly so as not to forget... ´ We live on this planet more than once! I just remembered this! If we live life wrong, then we die and are born again. God gives everyone such an opportunity, everyone should go to heaven, hell, one might say, turns out to be on earth, because we will die and be born again and again until we change our lives. When we die, God takes away all memory. If in a past life you grew up in a rich and secure family, you had everything and you did not believe in God and did not live according to his laws, then in your next life you can be born in a poor family, where there is poverty and hunger. Anything can happen. When you die, God gives you some pluses in life - for example, beauty, intelligence, talent, and can take happiness from you, for example, it all depends on how much you lived correctly. My sister says that God gave her strength and intelligence (she is a pretty girl and a very interesting person, I want to say that she always had a lot of fans, but in general she is a little ugly - but after 5 minutes of talking with her, anyone will be delighted - because she smart from God and a very interesting girl, here) but I also took something - probably part of the beauty, I don’t remember anymore - maybe I’m wrong about beauty, so let’s skip it. Then she says: And then I remembered everything, all my lives. And God gave me a chance to change again .. because if you lived your life as God wants, that is, the right life, you do not linger on the planet, God simply takes you away. And... I remember how I am born again... when a child is born, he remembers everything... but every day he forgets more and more.. that's why I am born again... Because how can God just take and let a man go to hell? It's impossible! He created us, we are a part of him, a likeness of him.. Therefore, Jesus was born, he opened this door with a key... Sveta - she addresses me (my pseudonym) Do you believe me? I look at her with stunned eyes, I myself am in complete shock .. what to say .. nothing came to my mind ... ´´ I don't know ´´ - I say. In general, she was very strange the next day (this is understandable). The next day, the conversation took place again. She says: Sveta .. I sometimes hear voices in my head, I know they say that you are in a different time. I'm all mixed up.. sometimes I don't really know what time I'm in right now. Our soul can live in several bodies at once, you do not know this, but it is so. Sometimes my sister would ask me what century is it? what year? I was horrified and desperate. . I was scared for her .. because this is a dear and beloved little man ... everyone can understand me. That day she went to a believing family. I called her boyfriend, told what was happening, he went to her. Voobsehm letter and so dragged on. I'll tell you about the main thing. Her boyfriend took her to a doctor she knew.. she was in the hospital for 2 weeks on pills and slept almost all the time. After she came to her senses for another half a year. Then she told me ´´ Sveta, that day I looked out the window... you know what I saw?? everything was normal and suddenly... all the people... all the cars... everything moving stopped. Like a pause in a movie... I heard a voice... God spoke... you see, he said that life is a moment, it was and it is not. Look at everyone, everyone is in a hurry somewhere.. everyone is always in a hurry somewhere.. why?? if one problem is solved, there will always be another .. each of them does not remember what they need ... why something is always missing, for something in this life they run and fuss ... Then I heard voices that say steel to me - you're at the wrong time, you can't be here, your time hasn't come yet .. you must return .. come back, you have a lot more to do there! Come back! And I returned .. I remembered everything of the Light. Everything.
My sister says that the pills that she was given only worsened the situation, all the drugs locked everything she experienced inside her, that she lives with it .. Seikhhas she is doing well ... her family, baby and loving husband .. eats everything. But she says that she will not live long on this planet... she is confident, because she knows that there is another life, she saw it, she remembered everything ..
Girls, this is absolutely true. Not a bit thoughtful .. probably I even forgot to add something. She is not sick, she is a normal person, a loving wife and mother. It was a little hard in life, but it's nothing to do with it, I'm sure. I can also add that some of my friends, I don’t understand at all why, for no reason at all, completely different people who have never even met each other - they told me that when they mess with me or my family, some very strange deafening, completely incomprehensible, scaring off a little .. they don’t know how to explain. I want to note how several completely different people spoke like this - who are completely unfamiliar with each other. There were other strange cases in life .. but more on that later, too much at once. Thank you for reading, I hope you understand.

Incredible Facts

Is it possible to remember the details, names and dates of your past life?

Or return to earth in the body of another person in order to find his killer and pay him what he deserves?

Or maybe to see your loved ones again?

Scientific evidence and facts prove that this is possible.

Here are 10 great stories that actually happened, where there are "memories of a past life" .

Memories of past lives

1. 3-year-old boy remembered his past life, found his killer, as well as a hidden body

The late Dr. Eli Lasch, best known for his scientific work in Gaza as part of Israeli operations, studied the case of a 3-year-old boy who lived near the border with Syria and Israel.

The boy said that he remembers how in a past life he was hacked to death with an ax. He told the details of his murder and even showed the village elders where his body was buried.

The body with a wound on the head was indeed found at the specified location.

In addition, he made public the place where the murder weapon itself was hidden. After the evidence was presented, he also identified his killer, confidently pointing to one of his neighbors.

The evidence confirming his guilt was so irrefutable that the man confessed to the crime.

past life of a person

2. The boy remembered his wife and the killer from a past life and found them again

Semih Tutusmus was born in the village of Sarkonak, Turkey.

As soon as the boy learned to talk, he told the family that his real name was Selim Fesli.

But something else is also strange: when the boy's mother was pregnant with him, she had a dream in which a man with a bloodied face, communicating with her, told some details of his life. He claimed that his name was Selim Fesli.

It turned out that a person with that name really lived in a neighboring village and died in 1958. He was shot in the face and right ear.

Tutus was born with a deformed right ear.

When he was 4 years old, the boy went to Fesli's house and said to his widow: "I am Selim, and you are my wife, Katibe."

He remembered some details of their life together, and also named the names of their children. No one could know these details, except for the deceased himself.

He then shocked everyone by identifying the person who shot him. This case was studied by the late Dr. Ian Stevenson of the University of Virginia.

I remember my past life

3. A fireman was a general in the Civil War

Retired firefighter Jaffrey Keene felt an inexplicable desire to visit the field where the famous Battle of Antietam took place during the civil war between North and South.

Geoffrey went there as a tourist, but strange, almost anguished emotions did not leave him for a long period. Feeling almost physical pain, he could hardly describe in words everything he felt.

Discussing these feelings later with specialists, the phrase “not now” constantly revolved in Jeffrey’s head.

He became interested in the topic of the civil war and began to look through literature in local libraries and archives.

In one of the sources, he found an article about John Brown Gordon (John B. Gordon), a general who took part in the Civil War.

It turned out that the famous war hero resolutely repeated the phrase "not now" while holding his troops at the Battle of Antietam.

Also striking was the physical resemblance between him and Gordon. In addition, many of the firefighters in his brigade were remarkably similar to the people who took part in the battlefield.

Keene found other similarities between the general's appearance and his own. For example, in the place where Gordon was wounded, Keane showed birthmarks.

This case was studied by Dr. Walter Semkiw, a psychiatrist who works as an expert on reincarnation at the Institute for the Integration of Science, Intuition and Spirit (IISIS).

What was in a past life

4. The boy remembers his past life as a pilot in World War II

Dr. Jim Tucker of the University of Virginia studied the case of James Leininger of Louisiana.

When the boy was 2 years old, he began to have nightmares associated with a plane crash.

After terrifying visions, Jim claimed that he had been shot down by the Japanese, that his plane had taken off from the USS Natoma Bay, and that he had a friend named Jack Larson.

He also suggested that in a past life his name was James.

As it turns out, during World War II, there really was a pilot named James Huston Jr.

The life and death of this guy, surprisingly, coincided with all the details told by the boy.

With the help of the photograph, Leininger was also able to identify the site where Houston's plane had crashed.

Is there a past life

5 Burned Out In Chicago

Two-year-old Luke from Cincinnati, Ohio, was 2 years old when he started having strange visions.

The boy told his parents about his past life: he was a black-haired woman named Pam, who died in a building fire in the city of Chicago while trying to jump out of a window.

As it turned out, in 1993, a terrible tragedy really happened: a fire broke out at the Paxton Hotel, as a result of which the African-American Pamela Robinson died - she jumped out of the window in an attempt to escape from the fire.

When Luke's parents asked the boy to describe Pam's appearance, he described her as she really was.

To finally verify the veracity of her son's stories, the mother printed out several photographs of African American women, including Pam's, and asked Luke to point to the one he was talking about.

The boy pointed to Robinson's photo without hesitation and said, "It's Pam."

*Luke's story is the basis for the documentary "The Ghost Inside My Child".

Remembering past lives

6. 4-year-old boy remembers his past life in Hollywood

Ryan was 4 years old when he began to remember his past life, which he spent in Hollywood, which was tragically cut short after he had a heart attack.

The book about Hollywood provoked a wave of further "memories".

And after the boy saw Night after Night, a 1932 film, he claimed to be friends with the man who played the role of the cowboy in the film and was also the actor in the cigarette commercial.

Actor Gordon Nance starred in this film. He starred in a number of films, playing cowboys, and, indeed, was the face of cigarette advertising.

Ryan presented a picture of his past life, spoke about a man named Marty Martin.

Ryan correctly reproduced the scenes in which Martin was involved and even described his life in great detail.

He spoke in detail about the actor's life, for example, about dancing on Broadway, about his three younger sisters, and also correctly named the color of his car.

This unusual case was dealt with by Dr. Tucker, who confirmed Ryan's memories by comparing the data obtained from the boy with members of Marty Martin's family.

Dive into past lives

7. The boy remembers his past life as a monk in Sri Lanka

Duminda Bandara Ratnayake, a three-year-old boy from Tundeniya, Sri Lanka, suddenly started talking about his past life as a monk.

He insisted on observing all the rituals and restrictions that are characteristic of the life of monks.

The boy confidently stated that he was the oldest monk in the temple of Asgiriya and that he died of chest pains.

He also talked about having a red car and a radio. He described the elephant with particular love.

The Venerable Mahanayaka Gannepana, the late Asgirian temple monk, did indeed live a few years ago. The details of his life and death matched everything the boy had said.

There were only minor discrepancies throughout the description: for example, he owned a gramophone instead of a radio, but the boy may not have known how to describe the gramophone, so he could not accurately identify this particular item.

This case has been carefully studied by Dr. Elendur Haraldsson, professor emeritus at the University of Iceland in Reykjavik.

Memory of past lives

8. Lebanese boy remembers his past life

Dr. Haraldson traveled to Lebanon to learn more about another strange case involving a boy named Nazih Al-Danaf.

Al-Danaf began telling his parents about his past life as soon as he learned to speak.

He proudly talked about his weapons, which he allegedly owned.

At the same time, the boy used terms that you obviously do not expect to hear from a small child.

His parents were also surprised that at this age their son showed an increased interest in cigarettes and whiskey.

He also spoke about a mute girlfriend who had only one arm, said that he had a red car and that he was shot by some people who came to his house.

Al-Danaf went to the house where he lived in a previous life. This small town of Caberchamun is located only 20 kilometers from his current home.

Indeed, a man named Fuad Asad Haddaj once lived there, and the details of his life fully corresponded to what the boy told.

The widow of Haddaj asked the boy some questions to test him. The questions were of the following nature: "Who laid the foundation of this gate at the entrance to the house?", "Who painted the walls?" etc.

Nazih answered all the questions correctly, this convinced relatives and friends that the boy was telling the truth and that he actually remembers his past life.

Children are able to remember their past lives, sometimes in detail. Below are two cases where their memories were true.

The boy remembers how he jumped out of the window of a burning building

"Before I was a child, I had black hair," said Luke, the two-year-old son of insurance salesman Nick and his wife Erica of Cincinnati, Ohio. At first, his parents did not attach any importance to his words, considering these to be fantasies that are often inherent in children. But such statements became more and more, as a result, the family came to a startling discovery.

Luke's story was featured on the A&E network program The Ghost Inside My Child.

One day, Erica was wearing earrings and Luke told her, "When I was a girl, I had similar earrings."

When it came to choosing a name for an animal, he always suggested the name Pam. Erica was surprised by this, she did not know where he heard this name, it seemed to her that this was a strange choice. Finally she asked, "Who is Pam?" He replied, “That was me. Then I died, went to heaven, God brought me back. When I woke up I was a child and you called me Luke."

After that, she decided not to mention Pam's name again. Nick was especially skeptical about the idea of ​​x. They didn't believe in reincarnation in their home.

When Luke was four years old, he watched TV and became very upset when he saw a report about a building explosion. Erica switched the program and told Luke that everything was fine, no one was hurt. To which he said: "But I'm dead, I don't like to think about it, it upsets me." He said he remembers dying in a fire when he jumped out of a window to avoid the flames. The mother asked if it looked like on TV, she thought that he just took the program to heart. He said it was different, there was no explosion, it was just a fire.

He remembered that the fire broke out in Chicago. He was sure it was Chicago.

A Google search for the words "Pamela Chicago fire" turned up a result that made Erica creepy. Pamela Robinson died in 1993 during a fire at the Paxton Hotel in Chicago, she jumped from the window of a burning building.

Erica and Nick were shocked. They continued to search for information. It turned out that Robinson was black, it seemed strange to Erika that Luke could belong to another race.

Erica asked her son: "What color was Pamela's skin?" "Dark," he answered without hesitation.

Erica then printed out a picture of Robinson along with pictures of other people and asked Luke if he recognized anyone. Pointing to Robinson, he said, "That's Pam." He said he remembers how the photo was taken.

The girl remembers that in a past life she drowned while playing with her brother.

Dr. Ian Stevenson of the University of Virginia, a leading facto researcher, has recorded thousands of cases in which children remembered their own. In a report published in 1988, he noted two cases in which he was able to verify the facts told by children. In the examples described, the families of the children and their alleged relatives were separated by long distances, and the families did not know each other.

A three-year-old girl from Sri Lanka named Thusita said that she lived near the river in a village called Kataragama and her stupid brother pushed her into the river. She said that her father sold flowers at Kiri Vahara, a Buddhist temple, their house was located next to it.

Researchers interviewed flower vendors at Kiri Wahara in Kataragama and found a family who had a daughter who drowned in the river a few years ago, they also had a demented son. In total, Thusita made 30 statements about her past life. Of these, 25 turned out to be correct, two could not be verified, and three did not match.

Some general statements were applicable to many families, but a few were very specific and unusual for this region. For example, she said that the family had two houses, one of them had glass in the roof. This family really had two houses, one of them had a glazed roof. She also talked about tethered dogs that were fed meat. In this region, dogs are rarely kept as pets, most dogs are stray and feed on garbage. This family lived next door to hunters who fed the dogs with meat.

The girl's incorrect statements can be caused by confusion in memories. For example, the description of her father did not match, but was very similar to the description of other men from this family.

“Last summer, my husband and I went to nature. This was the first time we had a rest, and it was not easy for me to fall asleep in the fresh air right under the stars. It's good to lie in the arms of my husband, but then he fell asleep, and I stayed half asleep for several hours, expecting an attack at any moment. After three days of this rest, I finally managed to fall asleep late at night, and I had a dream in which I was a little American Indian boy, lost in the place where we camped. I felt his anxiety and fear as he tried to find some food and find his way home. At night he lay on the ground and, like me, could not sleep, listening to every rustle and movement. It seemed to him that someone was chasing him or chasing him, and he looked around all the time. This went on day after day. Eventually he couldn't take it anymore and ran. However, the leg got stuck in the roots of a tree, and the boy fell and broke it. He could not move and lay on the ground waiting for death ... I woke up all sweaty, my heart was pounding. Convinced that she was that boy. Everything was perceived so vividly and real that it could not be just a dream.

“All my life I have been tormented by a bad feeling, as if something bad was about to happen. Last year I visited Athens for the first time, and when I was in the Parthenon, this feeling washed over me with unprecedented force. I collapsed onto the steps, tears rolling down my face. People passing by asked how to help me, but I could not answer them. I only knew that I had been here before. Not in this life, in another. Something bad happened to me in the Parthenon, and visiting this place sharpened all my senses. From that day on, I completely freed myself from them. I don’t think I really want to know about the events of that past life.”

“My brothers and sisters quickly learned to swim, but I was always afraid of water. But this infuriated my father, because our family was fond of boating and spent the whole vacation right on the water or on the ocean. As a thirteen year old boy, my parents took me to a hypnotherapist because of my nail biting habit. At the reception, I accidentally returned to a past life that took place on a small island in the Pacific Ocean. Everything was good there, we were engaged in fishing. One day we hurriedly sailed to the house to escape the oncoming storm, but it still overtook us. I fell overboard and, although I was an excellent swimmer, drowned. I never thought about reincarnation before. The doctor explained everything to me, but I did not tell my parents what seemed too strange. And the strangest thing is that my current mother was my wife in a past life. This confused me for a long time."

Have you ever thought about your past lives? For some, a similar interest is caused by vague memories of something that happened in the distant past. Others have a desire to know more about themselves: where they have been and where they are going. In any case, there are tricks that allow you to open your past lives.

For thousands of years, people have believed in the idea of ​​reincarnation. This belief is spread all over the world: in Asia, the Americas, Africa, Australia and Europe - everyone believes that death is not the end and that it will be followed by rebirth in one body or another.

In the East, reincarnation has always been taken for granted. This concept is an essential part of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism. Originally absent from Shinto, it gradually became part of that belief system when Buddhism reached Japan in the twelfth century. True, reincarnation is not part of Islam, but its Sufi direction accepts the idea of ​​rebirth.

It is known that the ancient Egyptians buried magic spells next to the dead, which were supposed to help a person be reborn in his chosen form. In Greece, in the sixth century BC. BC, the Orphic cult taught that all people are partly sinful, partly holy. However, developing through various reincarnations, we learn to get rid of the sinful side of our nature and eventually achieve holiness. At this stage, of course, the cycle of rebirths is completed.

Later, the ideas of the Orphics were adopted by Pythagoras and became an integral part of his philosophy. The scientist was able to remember his past lives. Iamblichus in The Life of Pythagoras wrote: “Pythagoras gave a lot of evidence that he had knowledge of his past lives, this allowed him to instill visionary attention in others and remind them of their past existences”2. In past lives, Pythagoras was: the Trojan warrior Ephorbus, the preacher Hermotimus, the burned rivals, the Cypriot fisherman Pyrrhus, the Phoenician prostitute and the peasant from Thrace3.

Socrates also believed in reincarnation. According to legend, he spent the last morning of his life thinking about how his soul existed before the birth of a person and how it will continue to live after the death of his physical body. Socrates philosophically analyzed human life, leaving us the well-known expression: "Know thyself!". It must be said that his original ideas about the soul are the subject of discussion today.

The most famous student of Socrates - Plato - firmly believed in reincarnation and wrote: “Know that if you become worse, you will end up with worse souls, if you get better - with better ones, and with each change of life and death you will suffer as much as you can suffer in such a case." Plato's ideas about reincarnation had a profound effect on all Western philosophy and have not lost their significance even today.

Later, the idea of ​​reincarnation was adopted by Greek Gnosticism. He played an important role in early Christian beliefs. In the second century AD, Clement of Alexandria argued that we develop through a process of many reincarnations. Origen, one of the most important theologians of the time, agreed with him.

The Bible also seems to accept the idea of ​​reincarnation. Thus, in the Gospel of Matthew (11:13–15), Jesus tells his disciples who John the Baptist was in a past life: “... for all the prophets and the law prophesied before John. And if you want to receive, he is Elijah, who must come. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear!” This statement is confirmed by the Gospel of Matthew (17:12), where Jesus says: “... but I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did to him as they wished; so the Son of Man will suffer from them.” On another occasion, Jesus asked his disciples, "Whom do people say that I, the Son of Man, is?" The answer was: "Some for John the Baptist, others for Elijah, and others for Jeremiah or one of the prophets" (Matthew 16:13-14).

The disciples again mention reincarnation when they ask Jesus about a man who was blind from birth: “His disciples asked Him: Rabbi! Who sinned, he or his parents, that he was born blind? (John 9:2). It is clear that this man could not have sinned before birth, unless he had sinned in a previous life. It is interesting that Jesus does not reproach the disciples for such thoughts and answers them: “… neither he nor his parents sinned, but it was so that the works of God might appear on him” (John 9:3).

Unfortunately, in 553 AD. e. The Second Ecumenical Council of Constantinople declared that reincarnation is a reactionary doctrine. The Christian church immediately renounced the idea of ​​reincarnation and forced its adherents to go underground. Reincarnation was again declared heretical by the I Lyon (1247) and Florentine (1439) Ecumenical Councils. Anyone who believed in these ideas risked being burned alive at the stake.

Despite everything, the belief in reincarnation has not disappeared. Apparently, the most famous of the underground sects were the Cathars, exterminated by the Inquisition. Interestingly, the Bible contains only favorable references to reincarnation.

During the Renaissance in Europe there was a surge of interest in the ideas of Pythagoras, Plato and Kabbalah. Leonardo da Vinci was one of the few who accepted the idea of ​​reincarnation. In his "Notebooks" we find several expressions testifying to his belief in the immortality of the soul. It is known that Giordano Bruno was found guilty of heresy and was to be executed in 1600. Before being burned, he addressed the Inquisition with the following words: “I believed and believe that souls are immortal ... Since the soul cannot exist without a body in the same way as a body without a soul, it passes from body to body”6.

The idea of ​​reincarnation can be found among the Jews in the Kabbalah7 and the Zohar8. Numerous references to reincarnation are also found among the Hindus in the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads; and the Quran treats her favorably. In Buddhism, the ultimate goal is liberation from the endless cycle of rebirth and the achievement of nirvana. In fact, the idea of ​​reincarnation, or variants of it, can be found in the traditional beliefs of most of the peoples of the world.

Interest in reincarnation grew steadily during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In America, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Paine wrote extensively on this subject. In France, Voltaire, Victor Hugo, George Sand and Gustav Flaubert did not get tired of educating the public on this issue, in Germany - Johann von Goethe, Immanuel Kant and Gotthold Lessing, in England - David Hume and Alexander Pope.

In the modern era, interest in reincarnation has been revived with the start of the Theosophical Society. It claimed the role of a worldwide brotherhood and encouraged the study of the history of religion, philosophy and science, and also engaged in the study of inexplicable patterns in nature. Today, this society does not put forward any specific doctrines, but seeks to perceive the reality of reincarnation and karma. The Theosophical Society was founded in 1875 by Helena Blavatsky, Henry Olcott and William Judge. Madame Blavatsky announced that in past incarnations she was Pythagoras and Paracelsus.

Later, Edgar Cayce (Sause) (1877–1945), a committed Christian and physician, became the chief advocate of reincarnation. He became interested in her when, while in a trance, he mentioned karma. Before that, he had not heard anything about karma and believed that reincarnation refers to pagan beliefs. Fortunately, friends advised him to continue researching this issue. As a result of the experiments, he came to the conclusion that there is, in fact, nothing pagan in reincarnation. His ability to look into past lives has allowed him to heal his patients much more effectively than ever - both their bodies and souls. Between 1923 and 1945 Casey described about 2,500 past lives, the descriptions are preserved in the archives of the Association for Research and Education of Virginia10. They clearly show what changes the human personality undergoes on the way from one life to another.

In the twentieth century, interest in reincarnation steadily increased. First, the British psychiatrist Alexander Cannon and the French psychic, Colonel Albert de Rochas, explored hypnotic regressions. Even Aleister Crowley wrote a book about his method of replaying past lives. In the 50s of the twentieth century. the famous Bridey Murphy case in the United States, and the past life reminiscences of Mrs. Naomi Henry in England that followed, aroused general excitement and interest. These memories were revealed through hypnosis.

In Wales, hypnologist Arnall Broaxham has also done much research into hypnotic past life regressions, recording over four hundred sessions on tape. Jeffrey Iverson, producer of a television show about Broxham's recordings, later wrote a book, More Than One Life, about him, which became a bestseller in 1976.

In 1983, Shirley MacLaine's first reincarnation book, In Peril, was published and became so popular that it was made into a television miniseries. MacLane's accessible books helped popularize the idea of ​​reincarnation among the masses.

Dr. Helen Wambach in the 1970s regressed more than a thousand people through hypnosis and collected a huge amount of data that confirmed the reality of reincarnation. All of her volunteers (with the exception of one) in previous lives were ordinary people and led an ordinary life. Most of them are peasants, whose path was incredibly difficult. They worked hard and ate monotonously, and their children died in infancy. This is not at all the kind of life that people would like to move themselves into simply by fantasizing.

Although most of Dr. Wambach's volunteers are white, middle-class, she noticed that they were often of a different race and of the opposite sex in past lives. Considering that there is an approximately equal number of men and women in the world, it is natural to assume that with a regression of a thousand people, this ratio should remain unchanged. And there is. In past lives studied by Wambach, out of 1,100 volunteers, 49.4% were women and 50.6% men11. If these regressions, as already mentioned, were pure fantasy, most people would want to become white men12. This did not happen, indicating the authenticity of memories of past lives.

Dr. Wambach's research provides an answer to another important question: does the fact that the world's population is steadily growing disprove the theory of reincarnation? Between the 1st and 15th centuries the world's population doubled, then doubled again by the 19th century, and has since quadrupled. Dr. Wambach observed that the number of returns of her subjects during these periods of history reflected the same proportions.

More than half of the world's population considers the idea of ​​reincarnation proven. These people agree that the human body with personality characteristics will die, but the soul itself is immortal. She has already lived many lives, and she expects even more in the future.

This is quite natural, since it is impossible to experience everything in just one lifetime. Many incarnations give us a variety of life experiences: we can know wealth and poverty, become black and white, male and female, intellectual and mentally limited, radiant with health and suffering from ailments. We can live in technologically advanced countries and return to places where there is still a struggle for survival. In fact, we are different people. But knowledge about reincarnation can make people more tolerant.

Over the course of many reincarnations, we gradually progress or regress, depending on our thoughts and actions during each lifetime. This is the law of cause and effect. We reap exactly what we sow.

WHY DON'T PEOPLE REMEMBER THEIR PAST LIVES?

According to the beliefs of the ancient Greeks, the gods immersed the souls of the dead in the River of Oblivion, so that at a new birth they would be freed from memories of past lives. It is probably a great stroke of luck that most people do not remember past incarnations, all the painful and difficult episodes of which would have made progress in the present life almost impossible.

Most people are born without conscious memories of previous incarnations. However, many are able to see sketchy pictures from their past lives, sometimes with a lot of detail. Throughout my life, I remembered myself as a small child. I sat near a huge fire and, having eaten my fill, looked at the large, continuously moving red circles. Looking closely, I realized that these red circles were the lining of the black dresses of Russian peasant women. When they danced around the fire, I saw only red circles. Obviously, it was a memory of a past life - but only a reproduction in the memory of a single happy moment. I had to become an adult in order to restore the lost facts of a past life.

Not surprisingly, people who remember their previous incarnations are more common in countries where reincarnation is accepted as a fact. Studies conducted in northern India in the 1970s showed that "approximately one person in five hundred remembers a previous life"13. In the West, similar studies have not been carried out.

Dr. Ian Stevenson has been researching "reincarnation-type" cases for the past forty years and has published a number of well-argued books about his findings. Over the years, he has described over 2,500 cases, mostly involving past life memories of young children. About eight hundred of them have been studied in detail.

Dr. Stevenson believes that the testimonies of children are more convincing than the reports of adults. This is due to the fact that the former did not have time to read historical novels or watch many films that they could unwittingly pass off as evidence of past lives. The confusion in our minds of such information, hidden under the surface of consciousness, with events that actually happened is called cryptomnesia. Dr. Stevenson believes that most adult hypnotic regressions bring back these forgotten memories, not actual past lives.

One case, studied at length by Professor Stevenson and many others, concerns Parmod, the second son of an Indian professor. Parmod was born in 1944. As soon as he learned to speak, he spoke the following words: "Moradabad", "Saharanpur" and "Mohan Brothers". When he was two and a half years old, he told his mother that she did not need to cook food, as he had a wife in Moradabad. Once relatives brought him cookies, and he said that he owns a large biscuit factory in Moradabad. Parmod repeatedly asked his parents to take him there and said that he was one of the Mohan brothers. Over time, new details of his former life began to appear. The child claimed that his former name was Paramanand, that he was a businessman who died exactly nine months and six days before Parmod's birth.

When the boy was five years old, it turned out that there was a company in Moradabad known as the Mohan Brothers. When its owner Mohan Lal found out about Parmoda, he came to his house. Unfortunately, the boy was visiting relatives, but it was agreed that he would visit Moradabad.

When the family arrived in Moradabad, Parmod immediately recognized his brother and embraced him warmly. He recognized City Hall and announced that they were on their way to the firm. The driver of the car decided to drive past the store to check on Parmod, but the boy recognized the building and ordered the driver to stop. He entered the house in which he had lived in a previous life, and bowed reverently from the room in which he prayed daily. He recognized his wife, parents, brothers and all his children, except for the eldest son. When Paramanand died, this son was thirteen, and in six years he had changed a lot. Parmod joyfully recalled incidents from family life.

During the two days spent in Moradabad, the boy convincingly proved that he was the reincarnation of Paramanand, as he easily remembered different places and different people from his past life. He pointed to a building that had once been the offices of a branch office of the Mohan Brothers. He explained how water is carbonated, knew how to fix the installation. For such a check, the machine was specially brought to a non-working state14.

Children at a very early age often show some talent or ability. It is most likely that this is the result of past life experiences. The rich imagination of young children is also a manifestation of previous incarnations.

One problem with hypnotic past life regressions is that they are hard to confirm. Someone can tell a beautiful story about a past life, full of incredible details that can be confirmed. However, there is a possibility that he got this information from books or movies. Such problems do not arise with young children, as they cannot obtain information about their past lives in any other way.

Children who recall past lives are often told not to make things up. As children grow older, the events of past lives are gradually erased from their memory and eventually completely lost.

IS IT DANGEROUS?

There is no danger in doing past life regression using the techniques presented in this book. However, there are others that are potentially dangerous. In the 1970s, drug-assisted past life research became widespread. Not surprisingly, some of these experiences ended badly. For a successful study of past incarnations, there is no need for artificial stimulants.

There are also techniques for returning to past lives using your own body. In this case, the assistant touches different parts of your body and observes the reaction. When you touch the right point, you return to the past life. This method is effective. I have used it many times, but I am not including it here for two reasons. There are people who abuse this situation during the regression process. Obviously you have to trust whoever touches you. The second disadvantage of the method is that you cannot use it without help. On the other hand, none of the methods in this book require a partner.

The following must be taken into account. Awareness of past lives reveals to us the karma created in them. For some people, this knowledge can be a heavy burden. Most of us struggle with the karma created in this life without worrying about the karma created in past lives. Therefore, it is best not to undertake past life regressions unless you are confident that you can deal with the effects of past karmas.

In practice, I have found that for most people, returning to past lives does not cause difficulties. However, some people, despite trying all known methods, cannot open the door to past incarnations. I feel that this is no coincidence; they are protected from past life memories until they are ready to receive all the information.

WHY EXPLORE YOUR PAST LIVES?

People often ask me why you need to explore your past lives. And I usually answer that regression can give the key to understanding why a person does certain things, behaves one way or another in the current life. Turning to former lives, you can get information about the appointment of a person in the current one. Regression can explain the causes of difficulties and problems that a person experiences in this life, and suggest what karma needs to be improved. When people know why they act the way they do, they gain more control over their lives.

Past life reversal is also an extremely valuable form of healing. It allows you to act on the causes underlying the problem, instead of fighting only external manifestations. The memories of past lives are imprinted in the DNA of each of the more than ten trillion cells that make up our body. Using this method of treatment, we can heal an ailment that has existed, perhaps, for many previous incarnations.

Guilt plays an important role in the lives of many people. It is created by suppressed fear, anger, grief. Past life therapy can help such people to get rid of this feeling that arose in previous incarnations.

Many people turn to past life regression during times of crisis. They look for solutions to problems in it, when in reality everything is not going the way they want. Regardless of the outcome, such regressions are always beneficial.

One patient came to me shortly after her husband left her. “I have always been jealous,” she told me. - I do not know why. It's crazy, but I always lose the people I love."

She returned to her past life in Jamaica in the nineteenth century. Being the capricious eldest daughter of wealthy planters, she always got what she wanted. The young man with whom she fell in love, unfortunately, was infatuated with another. I tried all means to recapture it from my opponent, but nothing helped. Then, in a fit of jealousy, she paid to have that girl poisoned. The young man, having learned that his beloved had died, hanged himself.

After this regression, my patient came for consultations. Her life has improved, and the feeling of jealousy appears very rarely.

Perhaps the most important result that can be obtained from past life regression is forgiveness, both for oneself and for others. You can forgive people who hurt you in past lives and forgive yourself for hurting others. This contributes to the rehabilitation of oneself and other people. If this happens, you will definitely feel the joy of movement.

Knowing about past lives also gives a person peace of mind. Many are afraid of death, but the fear disappears when the realization comes that death is not the end.

Regressions to previous lives provide another benefit - the ability to discover in yourself abilities that you did not know about. The skills and talents you used in past lives are not lost. They are still part of you and can be developed in this lifetime.

Most people who decide to go through a past life regression seek to find out if they are following their destiny in this life. Many feel dissatisfied and want to know what to do with their lives. In this case, regression is extremely useful. And in the end, it will demonstrate that our potential is unlimited.

Most of my patients believe in reincarnation, not a few remain skeptical even after regression. However, with all the variety of views, they still receive a certain benefit when one of the past lives is revealed to them. Regardless of the depth of your interest in this subject, the experiments described in the following chapters will be useful to you in the present.

DOES EVERYONE HAVE A PAST LIFE?

In my practice of regression, there has never been a case where a person did not have past lives. On the contrary, most people seem to have an unlimited number of them to choose from.

One of my regular clients is a carpenter. In less than twenty years, we have explored many of his past lives. Sometimes, when he comes to me, he wants to return to some particular one, which we have already explored to the smallest detail. Another time - look into the unfamiliar. At times he prefers to let the course of regression be left to chance.

Common to his different lives is that he always worked well with his hands. Apparently, he had an equal number of female and male lives, and in all he used his skill. In male incarnations, he was a builder, cabinet maker, farmer, mechanic, etc. In female incarnations, he was a shepherdess, cook, nurse and cleaner.

I admire the practicality that runs through all his lives, because my own was the complete opposite. Basically, I was impractical and in most of my past lives I was a monk, a priest, a musician, a writer and a teacher.

Unfortunately, many of my patients come to me out of curiosity and don't continue to explore other lives like this carpenter did. Therefore, it is difficult for me to determine whether there is a common thread running through different incarnations of one person. This is an interesting field for research.

But I know for sure that you have gone through many lives, have been to Earth many times and will return here many more times in the future.

DO YOU KNOW DEJA VU?

Almost everyone is familiar with the feeling of deja vu, which in French means “already seen”. It is the feeling that you have been in this place before and experienced a similar sequence of events. Reincarnation is just one of many possible explanations. Other explanations may be: I saw this scene on TV before, I saw it similar to this but not identical, or I saw this event in a dream before it happened.

Sometimes, however, déjà vu leads to spontaneous recollection of a past life. This may surprise people who have no idea about the subject. A friend of mine experienced a similar feeling one evening at home. I cut a lemon to put in drinks prepared for myself and my husband, and then sat on the veranda to watch the sunset. When she raised the glass to her lips, she smelled lemon on her fingers and was immediately transported to her past life in Italy during the Renaissance, where she posed for an artist in a large garden.

I'm sure there was a scent of lemon in that garden, she told me. - His scent suddenly brought me back to the past. I don’t understand why this happened now, because the scent of lemon has been familiar to me all my life. In any case, I felt incredibly happy. I was in love with Aroldo, for whom I posed, and experienced a surge of delight, so strong that it seemed my heart could not stand it, - she smiled sadly. “There has never been anything like this in my life.

Dr. Frederick Lenz, a psychologist, has been studying spontaneous memories of past lives and has described his observations in his book Lifetimes. He noticed that most of these memories come in a dream or during meditation, when visions appear, or as moments of deja vu. Dr. Lenz drew attention to the fact that immediately before the spontaneous recollection of a past life, people feel that they become, as it were, lighter, and bright colors begin to flash before their eyes. They feel euphoric, feel good, and the room seems to vibrate. Then suddenly they are transported for a few moments into a past life. Often after that they seem a little numb.

CAN I PROVE THAT A PAST LIFE REALLY WAS?

Unfortunately, in many cases this is not possible. Most people led a normal life for the time in which they existed. Only a few could get an education or travel. Life proceeded in the vicinity of his own home. They did not always know the name of the nearest town or village, the year they were born, or the name of the country in which they lived. They might not even know their last name. Naturally, such stories are difficult to prove or disprove.

More recently, I regressed a young woman to medieval Europe. In that life, she was a male baker. He was ambitious, worked hard and eventually became the owner of his own business. Many details of the process of baking bread were amazed. But the baker was illiterate and had no idea about the era or even the name of the city in which he lived. Obviously, it would be extremely difficult to find out more about him, because he knew very little about himself.

In other cases, the richness of detail helps to prove existence in a former life due to lack of historical evidence. Jess Stern described one such case in his book Looking for the Girl with Blue Eyes. A girl with blue eyes lived in the late nineteenth century in Canada in the countryside. She never strayed far from her home, knew little about her neighbors, and lived at a time when records of births, deaths, and marriages were scarce or non-existent. Although this story is extremely convincing and rich in details, it is still impossible to prove the reality of reincarnation.

Another well-researched example concerns George Field, a fifteen-year-old high school student who regressed into a past life where he was a farmer during the Civil War. When he refused to sell his potatoes to Yankee soldiers for a few cents a bushel, he was shot in the stomach. This regression was carried out by Loring J. Williams, who later wrote a report on it for Destiny magazine. After the publication of the article, new information appeared, which was included in Brad Steiger's wonderful book You Will Live Again16. Williams, along with George Field, went to Jefferson, North Carolina, to look for any evidence. George Field, or Jonathan Powell as he was called in a past life, was able to give very detailed information about the people living in the area at that time. However, although most of the information was confirmed, it was not possible to definitively prove the reality of past life regression.

From time to time, one of my patients returns to their former life, where they were a person whom we can learn about from history books. I regressed one person into a past life where he was Oliver Cromwell's accountant. A study of historical books showed that someone by that name was indeed known as Oliver Cromwell's bookkeeper. This man remembered the smallest details and even terms that are already forgotten today. It is therefore possible, and even highly probable, that my patient was indeed that person at one time.

Unfortunately, nothing can be proved in such a case. Skeptics will readily say that my patient may have taken information from a long-forgotten book he had read. He might have heard a radio program or seen a movie or TV show showing such a person. Therefore, it is impossible to prove that he was him in a past life. My patient, however, believes all this to be true, which helped him. In the end, that's all that matters.

DO I HAVE A SOUL mate?

A soul mate is someone with whom you have had a strong bond through many incarnations. Most people think of a soul mate bond as a strong love connection between two people that has lasted for hundreds, perhaps even thousands of years. Often it is. And it's always wonderful when people find out that the one they adore in this life was their love in the past.

A soul mate relationship can include other important relationships between two people outside of the realm of love and romance. For example, your current leader has been your teacher or student in many past lives. This can also be considered a connection with a soul mate, it is just as strong, important and necessary for your progress, although it has a platonic character. Thus, another benefit of going back to past lives is the ability to find your soul mate.

Decades ago, the American astronomer and astrobiologist Carl Sagan said that "there are three concepts in parapsychology that deserve serious study", one of them is due to the fact that "young children sometimes give details of their" past lives, which, after verification, turn out to be accurate and which they probably didn't know."

Many researchers became interested in studying this intriguing and inexplicable phenomenon, as a result of which a number of amazing discoveries were made. The study of reincarnation belongs to the non-material sciences, this area deserves great attention.

University of Virginia psychiatrist Jim Tucker is perhaps the leading researcher on the phenomenon of reincarnation today. In 2008, he published an article where he talked about cases suggestive of reincarnation.

Tucker describes typical cases of reincarnation. An interesting fact is that 100 percent of those who report a past life are children. The average age of children who talk about their past life is 1.5 years, and their descriptions are often extensive and surprisingly detailed. The author notes that these children are very emotional when they talk about the events of the past, some cry and ask to be brought to their “past families”.

According to Tucker: “Children usually stop talking about past lives by the age of 6-7, for most of them these memories are simply erased. At this age, children begin to go to school, they have more events in life, and, accordingly, they begin to lose their early memories.

Sam Taylor

Sam Taylor is one of the children Tucker studied. The boy was born 1.5 years after the death of his paternal grandfather. Sam in little over a year first mentioned a past life. Tucker writes: “One day, 1.5-year-old Sam told his father when he was changing his diaper: “When I was your age, I used to change your diapers.” From that moment on, the boy began to tell many facts from the life of his grandfather, it is noteworthy that he spoke about what he could not know and understand at all. For example, that the grandfather's sister was killed, that his grandmother made him milkshakes every day until his grandfather's death. Amazing, isn't it?

Ryan is a boy from the Midwest

Ryan's story begins at the age of 4, when he began to suffer from frequent nightmares. At the age of five, he told his mother: "I'm used to being someone else." Ryan often talked about returning home to Hollywood and asked his mother to take him there. He talked about meeting stars like Rita Hayworth, doing Broadway productions, and working at an agency where people often change their names. He even remembered the name of the street where he lived "in a past life."

Cindy, Ryan's mother, said that "his stories were incredibly detailed and so full of events that a child could not just make them up."

Cindy decided to look through the Hollywood books in her home library, hoping to find something that caught her son's attention. And she found a photo of the person Ryan thought he was in a past life.

The woman decided to turn to Tucker for help. The psychiatrist decided to get down to business and began his research. After 2 weeks, Tucker revealed who the man in the photo was. The photo is a still from a movie called Night After Night, and the man is Marty Martin, who was an extra and later became a powerful Hollywood agent until his death in 1964. Martin did perform on Broadway, worked at an agency where clients were given pseudonyms, and lived at 825 North Roxbury Drive in Beverly Hills. Ryan knew all these facts. For example, that the address contains the word "rocks". The boy could also tell how many children Martin had, how many times he was married. Even more amazing is that he knew about Martin's sisters, although he knew nothing about Martin's daughter. Ryan also "remembered" the housekeeper of African American origin. Martin and his wife had several. In total, the boy gave 55 facts from the life of this man. But as Ryan grew older, he gradually began to forget everything.

Shanai Shumalaiwong

Shanai is a Thai boy who, at the age of 3, started saying he was a teacher named Bua Kai who was shot while riding his bike to school. He begged and begged to be taken to Bua Kai's parents, whom he felt to be his parents. He knew the name of the village where they lived and eventually convinced his mother to take him there. According to Tucker: “His grandmother said that after getting off the bus, Shanai took her to the house where an elderly couple lived. Shanai recognized them, they were indeed the parents of Bua Kai, a teacher who was killed on his way to school 5 years before the boy was born.

It's amazing that Kai and Shanai had something in common. Kai was shot from behind: he had a small round entrance wound from a bullet wound on the back of his head, and a larger and uneven shape on his forehead. Shanai, on the other hand, was born with two birthmarks, a small round birthmark on the back of his head and a larger, unevenly defined one in front.

Case with P.M.

The boy, let's call him P.M., 12 years before his birth, died of a malignant tumor - neuroblastoma - a half-brother. The tumor was discovered after the brother began to limp, and then constantly broke his left tibia. He was biopsied from a nodular lump on his head just above his right ear and received chemotherapy through a catheter placed in the external jugular vein. The child died at the age of 2, already blind in his left eye.

P.M. was born with 3 birthmarks, which seemed to remind him of the problems of his half-brother. One of them was in the form of a tumor 1 cm in size above the right ear, the other was a black almond-shaped mark in the lower part of the anterior surface of the neck, i.e. in the place where they put the catheter to his brother. He also had a so-called "corneal blemish" which left him virtually blind in his left eye. When P.M. began to walk, he did this, limping on his left leg. And being at the age of 4.5 years, the boy began to ask his mother to return to their former home, which he described with incredible accuracy.

Kendra Carter

The girl became happy and cheerful when she was in class, and, on the contrary, closed the rest of the time. The mother began to allow her daughter to spend more and more time with the coach, even staying 3 times a week at night.

Subsequently, the coach quarreled with Kendra's mother and cut off all contact with the family. After that, the girl fell into depression and did not talk to anyone for 4.5 months. The coach resumed the relationship, but more limited, and Kendra slowly began to talk and take part in competitions.

James Leininger

James was a 4 year old boy from Louisiana. He believed he was once a pilot who was shot down over Iwo Jima during World War II. For the first time, the boy's parents found out about this, when nightmares began to torment him, James got up and shouted: “The plane crashed! The plane is on fire! He knew the features of the aircraft, which is impossible for his age. For example, once he corrected his mother in a conversation, she called an external fuel tank a bomb. James and his parents watched a documentary where the author named the Japanese plane Zero and the boy claimed it was Tony. In both cases, the boy was right.

James also mentioned a ship called Natoma Bay. As the Leiningers later learned, during the First World War it was an American aircraft carrier.

How does a little Louisiana boy remember being a WWII pilot, you ask?

The biggest skeptic in this story was the boy's father, who claimed to be quite skeptical about the situation, but the information James gave out was so startling and unusual.

Reincarnation in numbers:

Tucker's research revealed interesting patterns in cases of children reporting past life memories:

The average age at the time of death of a person "moved into a new body" is 28 years
Most children reporting past life memories are between the ages of 2 and 6.
60% percent of children reporting past life memories are boys.
Approximately 70% of these children claim to have died a violent or unnatural death.
90% of children reporting past life memories say they had the same gender in a past life.
The average time interval between the date of death reported by them and a new birth is 16 months.
20% of these children report having memories of the period between death and a new birth.
