Reincarnation in the News? A TV show? An Interview?

I am watching a program that is underway on the Science Channel "H2", called "Science of the Soul - Combining knowledge of history and modern technologies helps seekers determine whether souls exist". It is a two-hour 2010 production which I just stumbled upon and which includes some of the best information about the James Leininger case that I have ever seen, short of reading the book "Soul Survivor". It is well worth searching for, but very hard to find on Google. I hope it is re-aired wherever you are.

You are welcome :thumbsup:


I am watching Celebrity Ghost Stories on Comcast on Demand, it is episode 11. Tracey Gould was speaking of a little ghost that was around the house for several years, she had the feeling it was a boy.


She had an urge to get pregnant and had a little boy. The ghost has not been seen since the boy was born. She believes it was the spirit of her youngest son waiting to come.


Cool :thumbsup:

Well, looked up the channel and I don't get it... :( I really wanted to see that show, it sounded SO good. :( I don't suppose there's anywhere it can be watched on the internet...? Probably not.
 
Shirley MacLaine


I saw a clip of an interview with Shirley MacLaine on Oprah where she mentions her belief in reincarnation. She believes that the soul is everlasting, and that no one really dies, they just pass on. "[You] go to another level of understanding until you decide to come back to the schoolroom again - Earth," she says. She also mentions that she doesn't go to funerals: "Nobody's dead, so why am I going to a funeral?".


Cool lady.
 
Sandra Thomas is a renowned producer in Malayalam cinema. Here is an article in which she talks about her dream of making a movie about her experience:

Life beyond death is a mystery — some believe it could be possible and some believe it is just a fantasy.
But for Sandra Thomas, ignoring the theory of reincarnation would be a betrayal of the horde of childhood memories that have haunted her since she was just a year old.


Renowned as the youngest lady producer in Malayalam cinema with the popular movie Friday, hardly anyone knows the mystery this pretty beauty hides beneath her mesmerising smile.


Before you raise your eyebrows in speculation as Sandra recollects her past, here comes a justifying reply, “Inspired by my life’s story, the legendary filmmaker late Lohithads wanted to make a movie on reincarnation.”


At the age of 14, Sandra first received an offer from Lohithadas to act as a heroine in the movie Kasthuriman, but an attack of chicken pox compelled Sandra not to take up the project. Yet that paved the way for a different enlightenment in her life.


“Reminded of those mysterious memories I had about my childhood days, I resolved to write a story -— something that turned out to be a terrible annoyance to my parents.”


Sandra had a strange childhood. She started talking before the age of one. “Till the age of four, my parents have told me, I spoke like a very aged woman.


Once when my mom was throwing away the old clothes at home, I reacted very furiously and demanded that she keep them safely for my children!”


Sandra talks about how she was repeatedly taken to psychiatrists, with the doctors unanimously considering hers a case of reincarnation — something that is detected in quite a lot of children in the country every year.


The doctors consoled her parents assuring them that her incessant muttering about her past life would come to an end as she grew up.


“Gradually, after the age of four I completely forgot my past memories, till that day when I sat down to write my story.”


Sandra calls to her mind bits and pieces of what she wrote that day. She wrote, “My name is Kuttiyamma and I belong to Kutippuram.


I am married and have two children. Once, while at the house of a writer Kutippuram Keshavan Nair, actor P.J. Antony called me to act in a movie…’’


“That was a time when the only actors I knew were Mohanlal and Mammootty. It was much later that I got to know that there was originally a writer called Kutippuram Keshavan Nair and there exists an award winning actor called P.J. Antony,” she excitingly recounts.


But what really got to her parents was the breathtaking account she wrote about her death. According to her, she met with an accident atop a bridge and fell into the Bharathapuzha River where she drowned to death.


No wonder, reading the scary recollection of Sandra’s past life, her parents immediately burnt the pages.


One may laugh at Sandra’s reminiscences but for thousands across the world who sense that there is life beyond, it is no laughing matter.


Reincarnation should no longer be laughed at feels Sandra as she says she will soon make a movie on the thousands like her — she is just waiting for the right script.


“Today, in spite of numerous conscious efforts to recollect those other life memories, I am not able to do so.


Probably in one of those inadvertent moments, the memories may come back to me again. But I am not waiting anymore,” she smiles. Source-Memories of a past life
 
Cloud Atlas


Greetings,


There is a new movie coming out "Cloud Atlas" (great novel as well) in the very near future about reincarnation . I can't wait to see this one!


"The official trailer for The Watchowskis' "Cloud Atlas" starring Tom Hanks, Halle Berry & Hugo Weaving. The unifying concept between the six separate stories that makes up Cloud Atlas is that each features the same souls, reincarnated throughout the ages (played by the same actors and actresses). We also see Doona Bae (The Host) as a human clone from the future, whose sense of individuality puts her at risk, Hugh Grant reappearing throughout the ages as "incredibly evil" people, including a vicious cannibal and Susan Sarandon as the (eternally unobtainable) object of Broadbent's affections.
