I did get a copy from NetGalley and have reviewed it. It was really interesting to read all about Dr. Stevenson's life and his research. Reincarnation was not the only metaphysical topic that interested him, and it was engrossing to read his views on other paranormal topics. Moreover, he came...

This reminds me of how many individuals, although not all, remember only happy things as they get much older. Bad memories don't seem to be that important any longer. I had an older friend who was dumbfounded when her husband started remembering good things about his father; because he was...

I think the biggest problem we have in our society right now is hatred has become normalized, and individuals feel they no longer have it hide it. They can speak out in hateful ways and commit hateful acts, and others will applaud them for doing so. They can find hateful people just like them...

DebTep, So sorry the child has suffered so. Sounds like the type of injuries from an explosion. Thus, would definitely not rule out a military past life. The question is, of course, if that's true, why would the injuries carry over to this lifetime? Sunday ❤️

A new book about Dr. Stevenson is coming out in April...

Apparently UVA is researching more than reincarnation at the time and looking for participants: https://med.virginia.edu/perceptual-studies/participate/participate-in-research/

So you don't think discovering past life problems would not help you resolve current life problems? You think doing so would only discourage you instead of enlightening you? That's similar to how many discover that continuously thinking and talking about their problems only makes them...

As someone who was active here over 20 years ago, when the forum was way smaller and way more fun, I personally see the lack of activity as having really nothing else to say and nothing new to talk about. I'm still highly interested in reincarnation and still believe in it, but you can only...

Who reads the Washington Post any longer? ;) Their website did allow me to read the article today for free. Yesterday it wouldn't let me read unless I subscribed for a week for $4. (Gee, isn't Jeff Bezos pouring enough of his billions into the paper?) It was a very good article. The little...

After believing in reincarnation, I, too, found I no longer could feel sad at funerals. (Not one for crying in public, I never cried anyway.) I don't think, however, that those who don't believe in reincarnation have a tendency to cry " a lot" or tend to take a longer time "to recover" than...

S&S, After getting over my initial fears that believing in reincarnation was "sacrilegious", I've never gone back to fearing that. I also never left Christianity, but combined it with my new "attachments". Today, if asked about my beliefs, I reply I am a Judeo-Christian who believes in...

Ossian, wonderful post! I wish my dreams were only half as interesting as yours! I could see myself like your husband, too--no, I'm not going back right now . . . I will just stay in the library and read . . . . :)

ossian, like S&S, my beliefs have not stayed rigid over the years, but have swayed. Back in the early 2000s, when I was active in this group, I firmly believed in reincarnation, after slowly embracing it in the 1980s. I say slowly because, like you, I was raised a Christian. I personally saw...

I think the afterlife is what it is and no one knows for sure what it is like. We guess and we believe. Personally, I find it hard to believe the "in-between" state is a fearful place. Why would it be like that? (Sorry, I remember nothing about what I read long ago about Bardo.) Yet I also...

I remember reading in one of Edgar Cayce's book where he said there were souls having problems in their current lifetime because they came back too soon. He explained they were killed in WWII and simply grabbed the first available body to get back on Earth! That would mean for at least some...

Sometimes In Winter by Blood, Sweat & Tears and In The Winter by Janis Ian.

Two of my absolute favorite ballards are Fast Car by Tracy Chapman and Taxi by Harry Chapin. I think it's interesting both are about cars and the two artists have similar last names.

Hi S & S, I just came across your message. I never got an email on it. :confused: Since he says the paranormal topics he discusses aren't paranormal, I think you may be right that he is dening the supernatural. His books are still some of the most interesting I have read where a scientist is...

Thanks for the article S&S. It's been a while since I've read anything about Kabbalah. I probably have unread books on it, too, on my Kindle. (I have lots of unread books on my Kindle.) It interests me that it is more common for Jews to be taught that they should not spend much or any time...
