…who just remembers and feels things from a long time ago – arriving at a by-no-means conclusive but still compelling theory. Over and over, all the way through, I got confirmations and revelations about my own experiences, all via the compiled and analyzed experiences of others. As a result, I became more able to credit my own experiences, listen to my inner knowing and trust myself. Taught as a child that I was wrong and insane, I found it deeply…
…conceivable that consciousness could survive the body’s demise and later become associated with a different body. If memories are registered in consciousness rather than in the brain, it would be possible for a child who inherited the consciousness of a deceased person to recall events from that person’s life. And if mental images are carried in a consciousness that survives death, then those images could furnish the source of birthmarks and other…
…recalling memories from childhood, sometimes after a lapse of years. One 35-year-old woman said that she had tried as a child to hold onto her memories of her birth, but they had slipped away. Later, on a meditation retreat, she had retrieved her intermission memories (she believed). Her account includes detailed memories of life planning, including how she was going to relate to the various people in her life, etc. Although it needs to be support…

…ur minds could survive the death of our bodies, carry on after death and become associated with (reincarnate into) other bodies later on. When that happens, if I am right, the memories of our past lives would still be in our subconscious, and would only require the right conditions to present themselves to conscious awareness. The continuity of the mind or consciousness from one body to another would also explain why past-life identities are exper…

It caused a sensation when it was first published in 1956 because some of its arcane details were verified. A tabloid newspaper sought to debunk the case and succeeded in having the public turn away from it, but in fact, the regression includes facts whose source has neve…
