The book is intended for everyone who is interested in the posthumous fate of human consciousness and the spiritual evolution of the human species.
  • Robert Schwartz :"Your Soul's Plan"

The idea of ​​the transmigration of souls contradicts the canons of world religions. Sometimes researchers manage to lift the veil of secrecy that the clergy tried to hide.

Birth and death are part of life. They are believed to be unrelated. But a lot of evidence suggests the opposite - they are closed in a cycle. Books about this can change life and fill it with meaning, which is sometimes beyond the power of religion.

In this article

Edgar Cayce on reincarnation and family karma

The American medium became famous for creating, in which:

  • prophesied the future;
  • made diagnoses for patients;
  • talked about ancient civilizations.

The trance that Edgar Cayce entered was reminiscent of a dream, for which he was nicknamed the Sleeping Prophet

Death did not stop the healer. After his death, he dictated texts “from the other world” to his students. The book “Edgar Cayce on Reincarnation and Family Karma” was written by journalist Kevin Todeshi thanks to his connection with the deceased teacher. The work received the greatest fame among them.

The famous prophet and healer Edgar Cayce was the first to coin the term “” in Western society. He outlined its influence on the path of life, family relationships and home well-being.

The book teaches you to perceive problems as life lessons with a secret meaning. Edgar Cayce believed that karma does not affect a person's will, but the consequences of choice will affect it. We create life ourselves.

The book teaches that the law of karma is the highest of the laws governing human life

You will like this book if you are interested in karmic relationships in the family. It will also help you rethink your approach to troubles and treat them not as God’s punishment, but as an opportunity to rethink your own future.

Trutz Hardo. "Children Who Lived Before: Reincarnation Today"

The book tells the story of a three-year-old child from Turkey. He remembered his past life. His parents named him Semih Tutusmus, but as soon as he learned to speak, he asked to be called Selim Fesli.

Selim's memory retains memories from his past life. He remembered:

  • former name;
  • past events;
  • names of people who knew him;
  • own.

The child showed the adults the place where his past incarnation was buried. After digging up the grave, witnesses discovered the remains of a man killed with an ax. The wound on the skull corresponded to a birthmark on the boy's head.

Later, the child named the killer's first and last name, and also pointed to the house where he lived. When confronted, the criminal confessed to his crime.

Even death did not stop the victim from finding the killer

This case of mysterious rebirth is not the only one. Trutz Hardo collected stories about children whose memories, for unknown reasons, were not erased after birth. His book is a study of the biographies of extraordinary personalities and an attempt to understand the reasons why they did not lose rare knowledge.

Boris Monosov. "Karma and Reincarnation"

The concepts of “karma” and “reincarnation” contradict the moral principles of a person brought up on. It is believed that life is given once. Depending on how we live it, it depends whether the soul goes to heaven or hell. This is the reason that we forget past incarnations.

Boris Monosov’s book “Karma and Reincarnation” will teach you:

  1. Esoteric practices for understanding immortality.
  2. Principles of magic.
  3. Unification of consciousness.

Monosov's teaching is based on the knowledge of the Atlanteans

Reincarnation is one of the most important magical practices. The book contains simple diagrams that describe what happens to a person’s consciousness at the moment of death.

Ian Stevenson. "20 cases of reincarnation"

The book is his life's work. For more than forty years, the doctor of medical sciences traveled the world and collected stories about people who retained the memory of past rebirths. He paid special attention to children and victims of violent death who remembered the identities of their killers.

Over the years of practice, Ian Stevenson has discovered 2,500 children who have retained. Most of them lived in Asia and India. More than 1 thousand migrations of souls were documented.

In addition to reincarnation, his books are devoted to:

  1. People with psychic abilities.
  2. Documented cases of the appearance of stigmata.
  3. The influence of the mother on the formation of the fetus during pregnancy.

Until his death, Stevenson remained confident that children from countries with the teaching of reincarnation have an easier time remembering a past life than in countries where this is not accepted.

Even critics noted the care with which Ian Stevenson collected information

  • talents;
  • family secrets;
  • causes of death.

The video is part of a conference by Ian Stevenson, where he introduces the public to some cases of reincarnation:

Scientific literature

In addition to collecting information, scientists are trying to empirically prove the existence of the afterlife and the transmigration of souls. The following works are devoted to this.

Michael Newton: “The Journey of the Soul”, “The Destination of the Soul”, “Life Between Lives. Past Lives and Journeys of the Soul", "Memories of Life After Life"

Michael Newton is a Ph.D., psychologist and hypnotherapist.

In his practice, Michael Newton uses regressive hypnosis. He discovered that hypnotized patients began to remember past physical incarnations.

His books will be interesting if you strive to understand the wonders of the multidimensional world. They contain recommendations for practicing hypnotherapists, as well as the methods and principles that guided the author.

Video about how Michael Newton moved from an academic worldview to the study of reincarnation:

Denise Lynn: “Past Lives, Present Dreams”, “Past Life Experiences. How to learn about your own mistakes and correct them"

Denise Lynn - Founder of the International Soul Training Institute

In her books, in addition to the fascinating stories of hundreds of patients, you will find:

  1. Ways to discover talents.
  2. Description of a technique for remembering past lives.
  3. Methods for getting rid of phobias.
  4. Rules for working with spiritual guides and animal forces.

Raymond Moody: "Life After Life"

The book contains testimonies of people who experienced clinical death. In his work, the author first used the term “near-death experiences.”

Raymond Moody - American scientist and doctor

For many patients, the details of death were similar. The book talks about:

  • following a dark tunnel;
  • the emergence of pictures from the past;
  • meeting with a luminous creature.

The book “Life after Life” became scandalous abroad. In many ways, ideas about death were formed under its influence.

In this video, Moody explains the main concepts of the study:

Hildegard Schaefer: “A bridge between worlds. Theory and practice of electronic communication with the Subtle World"

For more than 30 years, the parapsychologist has been collecting evidence of the existence. Research was carried out using special equipment around the world.

In the preface to the book, Professor physics doctor Ernest Zenkovsky called this method of collecting information transcommunication. Thanks to technological progress, voices “from the other world” were recorded on film and given a visible form.

The book provides materials from the process of communicating with the other world

In addition to documented evidence of contact with deceased people, there is information about the success of transcommunication during the research. In addition, you will learn about methods of communication with beings from the subtle world and how technology has developed in this area.

Religious literature

Reincarnation is one of those topics that is touched upon in all world and national religions. contained in ancient Vedic texts and in the sermons of modern clergy. Some explain its essence, while others deny it.

Sacred texts of Hinduism: Bhagavad Gita, Mahabharata, Ramayana, Upanishads

India leads in the number of people with memories. When raising children, it is considered shameful to suppress their attempts to remember their previous life. The reason for this lies in the thousand-year-old philosophy of Hinduism.

Sacred texts preserve the wisdom of civilization

They include mantras, descriptions of religious rituals and answers to many questions about human life and death.

The video talks about the content of ancient texts, their authorship and relationship with each other:

Tenzin Gyatso: “Sleep, dreams and death. Study of the structure of consciousness"

The appearance of the book was preceded by a conference with the participation of the 14th Dalai Lama and Western scientists.

The title of Dalai Lama is transferred upon rebirth into a new body

The meeting was devoted to three issues:

  • of death.

The book is presented as a conversation in which participants share thoughts and complement each other. You will enjoy this book if you want to learn the similarities and differences between modern science and the wisdom of Tibetan Buddhism.

Books Compiled from Channelings

The sacred texts of world religions contain evidence of human contacts with higher powers: God, angels or demons. IN modern world there will be those who repeated the experience of the prophets.

This contact is called “channeling”. Divine messengers, through contactees, shared wisdom and warnings with humanity.

Lee Carroll: Kryon Books 1–10

Her messages are different, but they are all given by heavenly power with one purpose: to guide humanity to a new energy level. Lee Carroll conducted public sessions where Kryon communicated with everyone.

Lee Carroll - creator of the term "indigo children"

The medium claims that he is one of many with whom Kryon maintains contact. In his books you will find the following information:

  1. New energy that changes people's destinies.
  2. Revelations began to come to Walsh after a life crisis

  • material values;
  • policy;
  • communication;
  • purpose in life.

The works of N. D. Walsh are full of practical knowledge. People have encountered the wisdom of changing fate. Here you will find a description of the “correct” life and instructions on how to fill your heart with love and harmony.

Steve Rother: "Spiritual Psychology: Twelve Essential Life Lessons"

He draws his knowledge from a community of spiritual beings from another world. The group told Steve Rother that everyone's life is planned before birth. But once we were born, we forgot about it.

Remember the Life Lessons we have chosen and find your place in the world

The book “Spiritual Psychology” talks about the principles of healing and offers 12 lessons. You will learn what the author thinks about the responsibility of a healer and how to find true power.

The video talks about the basics of reincarnation and attitudes towards it in various religions:

A little about the author:

For me, esotericism is the key to the heart, spiritual practice. This is the desire to look behind the screen of the world and find there the abyss of the divine. Wake up. During your lifetime, step into the fire that opens the gates of immortality and find true freedom.

Preface

In writing this book, I had three goals in mind. Firstly, I wanted to show that in Europe there are cases that make you think about reincarnation. By publishing reports of a number of much earlier cases (I have not researched them myself), I was also able to show that similar cases arose in the first half of the 20th century. Almost all of the cases that I have studied and covered in previous publications took place in Asia, West Africa and the tribes of the northwestern part North America; Almost all the inhabitants of these places believe in reincarnation. And only a few Europeans believe in the possibility of reincarnation. And although I can show that such cases occur in Europe, they nevertheless seem to be rarer than the cases in the other above-mentioned regions, where I found them in abundance immediately after I began my research work. We don't really know whether these cases occur less frequently in Europe than in Asia, or whether they are simply less frequently reported in Europe; Both of these options are not excluded.

Secondly, in my opinion, some of the cases presented here show similarities with those cases that I have previously studied in Asia. Most often this is: the first evidence of a small child about his previous life; erasing these memories of the child as he grows older; the high prevalence of violent death in those lives that are supposed to be remembered; the frequent presence in a person's testimony of a description of exactly how he died. In addition, European subjects often exhibit behavior that is unusual in their families, which further confirms their stories about their previous lives.

Thirdly, I believe that at least some of the cases described in my work prove the existence of supernatural phenomena. Thus, I want to say that we cannot explain some of the statements of the subjects or their strange behavior by ordinary means of communication. For this reason, reincarnation becomes a plausible explanation, although (as I keep saying) not the only one.

The dates in the records of some of these cases indicate that I have been working on this book, off and on, for approximately thirty years. For many years I neglected such cases in Europe, focusing all my efforts on assuring the truth of as many cases as possible, focusing mainly on Asia, where the subjects studied had characteristic birthmarks and birth defects. Currently, I, along with my assistants, are again actively engaged in the search for European cases of the reincarnation type, which, I hope, will contribute to the publication of this book.

Note to readers

The personal names mentioned in this book are a mixture of real and fictitious names. In some cases, I have changed the names of places to ensure the privacy of those mentioned.

In many places I did not write clarifying words - for example, “ stated", "obvious", "apparent"– before such nouns as “ memories", describing the features of the cases. I did this for ease of reading, and not in order to make the main question of these cases already resolved: whether their characteristic features indicate the supernatural nature of these phenomena. When I say they are supernatural, I mean that they are inexplicable by conventional knowledge of sensory experience.

To make it even easier for readers, in some cases I called the person under study only by name. This measure helps me maintain friendly relations with the subjects and their families. I did become friends with some families, but not in all cases where I used such a familiar style.

I want to show, where possible, the similarities between the features of cases in Europe and those in other parts of the world, so I sometimes mention similar features of cases that occurred outside Europe.

Tuesday, 25 Feb. 2014

For many years, the American physician, professor of psychiatry at the University of Virginia, MD Ian Stevenson, has been researching the phenomenon of reincarnation. Children who became his patients often stated that before their parents and close relatives were completely different people. Stevenson wrote down all these stories and then checked their accuracy. In a number of cases, it was possible to establish the identities of these people, as well as confirm the details of their own previous lives mentioned by the children.

There are many cases where the souls of dead people come into contact with living people. Some of these cases have been documented by scientists. Another thing is that this is not widely publicized, because... does not correspond to the modern scientific paradigm. In the book Michael Cremo "Human Devolution" provides a description of such situations.

Moreover, reincarnation does not mean returning to the same body and therefore it is not associated with resurrection. Reincarnation is a transition to a new body. To understand external reincarnation (transition to another body), you first need to understand internal reincarnation. It really happens to each of us every second.

Doctors say that all the cells in our body are completely replaced every seven years. This means that every seven years we actually find ourselves in a different body (since all the elements there have changed due to the metabolic process). But, despite all the changes in the body, internally we feel that we remain the same person, because consciousness itself, emanating from the soul, has the property of permanence, unlike the body. In reality the physical body is like a slow stream chemical elements, hugging the soul. But since this flow is very slow, we do not notice it and think that the body is unchanged. But if we look at a river or a candle flame, it will also seem to us that this is the same river and the same flame.

In reality, the river is a constant flow of new water, and the flame is constantly renewed due to new fuel. So, the process of internal reincarnation in the course of one life (from the body of a child to the body of an old man) ends with the process of external reincarnation. External reincarnation is difficult to test empirically (like many scientific concepts, by the way), but it is a manifestation of the law of conservation of energy on a moral and spiritual level. After leaving one body, we receive another, which corresponds to our desires and merits.

In America, a famous psychiatrist has been studying the issue of reincarnation for a quarter of a century. Ian Stevenson, which has hundreds of scientifically tested and confirmed cases of reincarnation. Sometimes Reincarnation happens right before our eyes. For example - the process of turning a caterpillar into a butterfly.

By 1987, Stevenson's archives had collected about three thousand cases of this type, and a little more than half of these cases are considered “proven” (that is, the child’s memories of a past life have received quite significant confirmation).

IN sixty-four cases In cases involving children from India, Sri Lanka, Lebanon, Turkey, Thailand, and Burma—which Stevenson has written about on numerous occasions—parents or relatives of the children could recall about sixty verifiable statements from the child that helped identify who he or she was( a) in a past life.

Despite his initial skepticism, Stevenson came across hundreds of similar cases that only the theory of reincarnation could explain. Therefore, with the zeal worthy of a religious fanatic, he continues research in this area, risking being branded a heretic and being expelled from the community of more traditionally thinking colleagues. Indeed, fellow doctors repeatedly ridiculed Stevenson (note: this is indeed very similar to what unconventionally-minded theologians in the West have encountered). However, Stevenson cannot be called an eccentric, a religious fanatic or a green youth caught up in the network of a totalitarian sect! He is a respected scientist with no religious prejudices and is over seventy. His research is quite objective, and anyone wishing to know his views on reincarnation should read his published reports and books on the subject.

His research first came to the attention of the general public in 1960, when he published a paper entitled "Evidence of the Survival of Consciousness from Memories of Previous Incarnations". The article received prestigious award American Society for the Advancement of Psychological Research. Over the next nine years, Stevenson continued to work actively, and his fruitful work earned him the respect of his colleagues, both skeptics and more loyal scientists. Thanks to Stevenson's research, thousands of cases "suggesting reincarnation" appeared in the press, and his work was published in such reputable publications as the Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases, the Journal of the American Medical Association, and the International Journal of Comparative Sociology.

“Stevenson did a gigantic job in terms of labor intensity,” says Alexander Marcon, candidate of psychological sciences, academician of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences. – He interviewed not only the living person, but all members of his family, then he looked for the family of the previous incarnation and interviewed all members of that family. Moreover, in many cases he found medical documents confirming how the person who later became incarnate died. He worked with facts that sounded not just like memories, but with physical evidence. And what science turns a blind eye to this, ignores it, and misleads the scientific community, and the entire public, terribly slows down the development of science itself.”

In the 70s of the 20th century, the following sensation spread around the world: 12-year-old Elena Marquard from West Berlin, having recovered from a serious injury, suddenly spoke impeccable Italian, which she had not known before. At the same time, the girl claimed that her name was Rosetta Castellani, that she was from Italy and was born in 1887. When the girl was taken to the address she indicated, the door was opened by the daughter of Rosetta, who died in 1917. 12-year-old (!) Elena recognized her and exclaimed: “Here is my daughter Fransa!..”

In the process of studying reincarnation, Professor Stevenson more than once encountered the fact that birthmarks and even scars were found on the bodies of newborn children at the site of wounds they received in a past life. In a number of cases, the professor was able to trace the history of successive incarnations of the same person, or rather, her soul, and be convinced of the regularity of the appearance of the mentioned marks on the bodies of infants and, as a consequence, material confirmation of the existence of the phenomenon of reincarnation.

Based on the results of his many years of research, Stevenson wrote a book published by the publishing house in 1997. Here are some examples taken from this book.

1. Kemal realized that this time he was caught. He was surrounded on all sides by armed Turkish police. The last hope was a dormer window overlooking the roof, but, looking carefully through it, he saw the tops of uniform boots very close by. That was the end. Then he slowly put the muzzle of a pistol to his chin and, having read the last prayer of his life, pulled the trigger... If the famous bandit Kemal Hayik had lived a little longer, he would have been able to take part in the celebration of the birth of his son in the family of his relatives, the Fakhritsi . Moreover, the baby was named after him Kemal. And it is no coincidence: the new father, on the night before the birth of his child, saw in a dream Hayik, who came to visit them. The baby's parents considered this dream a sign - it, in their opinion, meant that Hayik would be reborn in their first-born.

The parents, to their surprise, discovered confirmation of their assumption immediately after the baby was born. Two marks were clearly visible on his body: one on the neck under the chin, very similar to the scar from the entrance hole of the bullet, and the other on the crown of the head, in the very place where the bullet from Hayik’s pistol, having pierced his skull, flew out.

But young Kemal’s parents were even more amazed when he began to speak: the little boy described in detail the life and circumstances of Hayik’s death. He also immediately disliked all the “security officials” and often threw stones at the police and soldiers. All these oddities become completely understandable if we assume that the soul of Hayik actually moved into the child’s body...

2. Ravi Shankar was born in the Indian city of Kannauj (Uttar Pradesh) in 1951. WITH early age he stated that his father was actually a man named Jageshwar, a barber who lived in the next block. He also claimed that he was killed. His real father did not take this “baby talk” seriously, was offended when he heard such statements from his own son, and even began to punish the boy in order to discourage him from such fantasies. However, this did not help, and as Ravi grew, his confidence in his previous incarnation increased. Moreover, there was, as he believed, indisputable evidence that he was right. On Rasi’s neck under her chin there was a strange birthmark of a sinuous shape, about 5 centimeters long, reminiscent of a knife wound.

It was eventually established that on July 19, 1951, 6 months before Ravi’s birth, the young son of Jageshwar Prasad, a local barber, was killed and beheaded.

The murder was committed by two of Prasad's relatives. They decided to take possession of his property and in this way got rid of their rival in the person of his son.

When Jageshwar Prasad came to know about Ravi's strange claims, he decided to visit the Shankar family to hear about it from himself. A long conversation took place between them, during which Ravi recognized Jageshwar as his former father. He also told him such details of “his” murder that were known only to Jageshwar and the police.

Shocked, Jageshwar was forced to admit that he had no reason not to believe Ravi’s story and that, apparently, this young man had indeed been possessed by the soul of his late son...

It happens that a person is able to foresee in which of his relatives he will be reborn again after his death. This is confirmed, for example, by the story of William George Jr., born in Alaska in 1950. His mother gave birth to him under anesthesia and during the birth she had a dream that reincarnation researchers would classify as “prophetic”: her late father-in-law, William George Sr., who had recently died in a boat accident, appeared to her. One day he told his son and daughter-in-law that if all these discussions about reincarnation have any basis, then after death he will definitely be reborn as one of his descendants. And at the same time he predicted that the two marks he had: on his left shoulder and on his arm - would definitely end up in the same places on the body of that descendant.

3. William George Sr. died a few weeks after that conversation. And when William George Jr. was born 9 months later, everyone saw two spots on his body. Moreover, in the same places where his grandfather had them.

Sometimes the previous owner of the soul of a newborn is seen by his future mother in a dream. And the “identifying mark” confirming such continuity is often the shape and location of a birthmark on the baby’s body.

4. Hanumant Saxena was born in an Indian village in 1955. Shortly before his conception, his mother saw in a dream a man named Maha Ram, a resident of the same village who was shot dead a few weeks ago, Hanumant was born with a large mark on his chest, in the same place where there was a gunshot wound on Maha's body Frame. Having barely learned to speak, Hanumant announced that he was Maha Ram, and subsequently surprisingly accurately described the people and places that were known to the deceased.

5. Alan Gamble was born in 1945 in the Canadian province of British Columbia. Based on his mother's prenatal dream and two birthmarks, it was determined that he was possessed by the soul of Walter Wilson, a close relative who had died of gangrene following a gunshot wound to his left arm. The "marks" on the baby's body were located exactly where the bullet entered and exited, shooting Wilson's arm.

6. Ma Htwe Win is from Burma. She was born in 1973 with a deep annular groove on her left thigh just above the knee. Parents were at a loss as to the cause of such an injury until the girl learned to speak fluently. Ma Htwe Win then told her stunned parents that she remembered her previous life, when she was a man named U Nga Than, who was killed in a barbaric manner by three bandits. In an effort to hide the crime, they tightly tied the legs of their victim so that they were bent at the knees, and in this form they threw the corpse into the well.

It happens that under the influence of hypnosis people remember such previous incarnations that seem completely incredible. In 1998, certified hypnotherapist Helen Billings, who has been practicing in the American city of Mill Valley (California), spoke about such cases in a conversation with a correspondent of UFO Magazine in 1998. “One of my clients suffered from severe bronchial asthma, which is predominantly an allergic disease. She and I decided to try to find the cause of this allergy in her past. Twice I plunged her into deep regression, she “visited” her youth and childhood, right up to her infancy, but the source of the allergy was not found there.

The third time we agreed that we would try to penetrate the closest of her past lives. And then she saw herself inside an interstellar ship, she was wearing an exotic-looking space suit, she had blond hair and golden eyes, I asked her if we were really in the past. She confirmed, I asked if she was an inhabitant of the Earth. She answered: “No.” Now she is a doctor on an extraterrestrial space expedition, her husband is also a member of the ship’s crew. Suddenly, an accident occurs on the ship, it begins to collapse. The compartment depressurizes, she suffocates... This is where the cause of asthma lay. From that moment on, my the client began to feel better every day, and soon her asthma almost completely disappeared.” The journalist was interested in this episode by the past incarnation of the current earthly woman as an alien, and he asked Helen if there were other similar cases in her practice.

This is what he heard: “Two of my clients remembered that each of them was an aquatic from their past lives, belonging to a race of intelligent reptiles. Now they are both sweet, pleasant “human beings”. One of them, let's call him Abe, while in a state of deep hypnotic regression, described his appearance this way: “My feet are covered with scales, have a gray-green color and end in two big toes. My whole body is like the body of a reptile. But my physiognomy does not look like an animal’s face, it rather resembles a flat human face.”

In response to the question of what inner sensations he experienced while in this guise, Abe replied that he was in a great mood and that he was a very happy creature. He is overwhelmed by music, which he can either listen to or perform within himself, choosing tunes to suit his taste. Music and other pleasant sounds are an organic part of the existence of creatures like him, who make up the society around him. The purpose of life of these creatures is to rejoice and bring joy to others.

During the next regression session, Abe reported that it was difficult for him to be human, that living among people was very difficult. Probably, he guessed. this occurs due to people’s loss of “cordiality, a feeling of great and selfless love for their neighbor. Living in human incarnation, Abe constantly feels like a stranger among people. He says that he feels like he is not from here, having come to Earth from some other world.”

At the end of the conversation, Helen Billings noted that Abe is not an exception; she has other patients who, in a state of hypnotic regression, declare that they are confident in their extraterrestrial origin and destiny, and that they are just “passing through” on Earth.

7. The case of Bisham Chadna. We are talking about two cities Philbecht and Bareilly. The distance between the two cities is about fifty kilometers. These are Indian cities. And in the Chand family - a rather poor family - a boy, Bisham Chand, was born. Since childhood, he was generally outraged by the place in which he was born. Poor family. At the age of one and a half, he began to declare that they did not feed him like that in his house, demanded luxurious food, took off his cotton clothes, demanded silk. When he was eight years old, they began to notice that brandy was disappearing from the sideboard. Everyone was amazed at what was happening until someone in the house caught the kid drinking brandy. He said that the brandy was very bad; they didn’t use it in his house. Sometimes he lyrically suggested to his father that he should get himself someone else besides his mother. Here. And he did other similar tricks, when he saw his father’s watch, he said that the watch was very bad, we should contact his Muslim agent, he would buy a much better watch. But although the boy’s behavior alarmed the public, several articles were published, and no one seriously investigated the cases. Until one day the boy said: “I remember that I had a woman, her name was Padma, and when I saw her with another young man, I took a gun and killed this scoundrel.” The local prosecutor, his name was Sahay, in another transcription by Sahei. He immediately becomes interested. He says: “This murder needs to be investigated.” He spends his precious time and travels from Philbecht to Bareilly. And here it turns out that all of Bareilly has heard, heard a lot about the dissolute, riotous life of a rich man, the son of a rich man from the Narayan family. Well, Narayan is actually the name of the goddess of fertility and wealth. This is the title and surname of wealthy families in India. And just one of the striking episodes was that he, he had a mistress Padma, and he shot another young man of hers, and with great difficulty the family managed to hush up this scandal, using money and connections. And as soon as the boy was brought to that house, he immediately showed where everything was and also demonstrated the art of playing the tabla. These are the kind of drums that people beat on, but you still have to learn to play them, and he showed it right away.

8. A woman from America came to him as a patient, he himself is a psychiatrist. And she, as a patient, underwent a course of treatment with him, and he introduced her into a state of hypnotic regression, i.e. he put her into a state of hypnosis, into a state of the past. And in this state of the past, she suddenly spoke in some unusual language, which was recorded and then demonstrated to linguists. It turned out that this was some kind of Swedish dialect, with which she had no connection in this life. She had never been to Sweden, did not study this language, and had no relatives. Nevertheless, this was clearly a phenomenon, so to speak, that somehow needed to be explained, and there was no material explanation for it. However, if we accept the idea that there is Living being a soul that once lived, suppose, in this Sweden, knew this language, then, according to the law of reincarnation, karma, it received the next birth in America. Now she doesn't need this Swedish language, parents, environment, taught her new things English language. This language has gone into her subconscious, but under certain circumstances, with this hypnotic regression, this experience of the past can be activated.

9. Another example is when the daughter of a Bengali railway worker. A little girl, she played with her pillow like it was a doll and called it Minu. This girl's name was Shukla, and she called her pillow Meena. She was asked: “Why do you call your pillow that?”, She says: “That’s my daughter’s name.” He says: “Which daughter? You yourself are still small. What kind of daughter can you have?” She says: “In a past life I had a daughter,” and began to talk about how she lived in such a city as Baam-Banpur. She began to describe her relatives, began to describe what her husband’s name was, etc. She described all this so unclearly that they decided to check whether this was true. And when we went to this city, we found out that it was really not a big town, that indeed several years ago, a woman died, leaving behind a young daughter named Minu. So when they decided to conduct a full experiment, they decided to bring this girl Shukla to this city, she had never been there. She confidently led everyone to this house in which she used to live, consisting of several dozen people, such as a control group. She unmistakably recognized her husband, his brother, her husband's brother and, naturally, her previous daughter. Now the daughter was older than herself, it was such an amazing meeting, and she even showed where they had family jewelry in this house, a box with family jewelry. Those. this experience was so absolutely vivid.

Wandering Souls by Ian Stevenson

For many years, the American physician, professor of psychiatry at the University of Virginia, MD Ian Stevenson, has been researching the phenomenon of reincarnation. Children who became his patients often stated that before their parents and close relatives were completely different people. In a number of cases, it was possible to establish the identities of these people, as well as confirm the details of their own previous lives mentioned by the children.”

In the 70s of the 20th century, the following sensation spread around the world: 12-year-old Elena Marquard from West Berlin, having recovered from a serious injury, suddenly spoke impeccable Italian, which she had not known before. At the same time, the girl claimed that her name was Rosetta Castellani, that she was from Italy and was born in 1887. When the girl was taken to the address she indicated, the door was opened by the daughter of Rosetta, who died in 1917. 12-year-old (!) Elena recognized her and exclaimed: “Here is my daughter Fransa!..”

In the process of studying reincarnation, Professor Stevenson more than once encountered the fact that birthmarks and even scars were found on the bodies of newborn children at the site of wounds they received in a past life. In a number of cases, the professor was able to trace the history of successive incarnations of the same person, or rather, her soul, and be convinced of the regularity of the appearance of the mentioned marks on the bodies of infants and, as a consequence, material confirmation of the existence of the phenomenon of reincarnation.

Based on the results of his many years of research, Stevenson wrote the book “Where Reincarnation and Biology Intersect,” published by Praeger Publishers in 1997.

Here are some examples taken from this book.

Kemal realized that this time he was caught. He was surrounded on all sides by armed Turkish police. The last hope was a dormer window overlooking the roof, but, looking carefully through it, he saw the tops of uniform boots very close by. That was the end. Then he slowly put the muzzle of a pistol to his chin and, having read the last prayer of his life, pulled the trigger... If the famous bandit Kemal Hayik had lived a little longer, he would have been able to take part in the celebration of the birth of his son in the family of his relatives, the Fakhritsi . Moreover, the baby was named Kemal after him. And it is no coincidence: the new father, on the night before the birth of his child, saw in a dream Hayik, who came to visit them. The baby's parents considered this dream a sign - it, in their opinion, meant that Hayik would be reborn in their first-born.

The parents, to their surprise, discovered confirmation of their assumption immediately after the baby was born. Two marks were clearly visible on his body: one on the neck under the chin, very similar to the scar from the entrance hole of the bullet, and the other on the crown of the head, in the very place where the bullet from Hayik’s pistol, having pierced his skull, flew out.

But young Kemal’s parents were even more amazed when he began to speak: the little boy described in detail the life and circumstances of Hayik’s death. He also immediately disliked all the “security officials” and often threw stones towards the police and soldiers. All these oddities become completely understandable if we assume that the soul of Hayik actually moved into the child’s body...

Ravi Shankar was born in the Indian city of Kannauj (Uttar Pradesh) in 1951. From an early age, he claimed that his father was actually a man named Jageshwar, a barber who lived in the next block. He also claimed that he was killed. His real father did not take this “baby talk” seriously, was offended when he heard such statements from his own son, and even began to punish the boy in order to discourage him from such fantasies. However, this did not help, and as Ravi grew, his confidence in his previous incarnation increased. Moreover, there was, as he believed, indisputable evidence that he was right. On his neck, under his chin, Ravi had a strange, sinuous birthmark about 5 centimeters long, reminiscent of a knife wound.

It was eventually established that on July 19, 1951, 6 months before Ravi’s birth, the young son of Jageshwar Prasad, a local barber, was killed and beheaded.

The murder was committed by two of Prasad's relatives. They decided to take possession of his property and in this way got rid of their rival in the person of his son.

When Jageshwar Prasad came to know about Ravi's strange claims, he decided to visit the Shankar family to hear about it from himself. A long conversation took place between them, during which Ravi recognized Jageshwar as his former father. He also told him such details of “his” murder that were known only to Jageshwar and the police.

Shocked, Jageshwar was forced to admit that he had no reason not to believe Ravi’s story and that, apparently, this young man had indeed been possessed by the soul of his late son...

It happens that a person is able to foresee in which of his relatives he will be reborn again after his death. This is confirmed, for example, by the story of William George Jr., born in Alaska in 1950. His mother gave birth to him under anesthesia and during the birth she had a dream that reincarnation researchers would classify as “prophetic”: her late father-in-law, William George Sr., who had recently died in a boat accident, appeared to her. One day he told his son and daughter-in-law that if all these discussions about reincarnation have any basis, then after death he will definitely be reborn as one of his descendants. And at the same time he predicted that the two marks he had: on his left shoulder and on his arm - would definitely end up in the same places on the body of that descendant.

William George Sr. died a few weeks after that conversation. And when William George Jr. was born 9 months later, everyone saw two spots on his body. Moreover, in the same places where his grandfather had them.

Sometimes the previous owner of the soul of a newborn is seen by his future mother in a dream. And the “identifying mark” confirming such continuity is often the shape and location of a birthmark on the baby’s body.
