Kuldeep,

If you accept there is an afterlife then reincarnation becomes more feasible.

Discovering compelling evidence is difficult and why Professor Ian Stevenson's 40 year research is seen by some investigators as the best carried out to date.

Regressive hypnosis is far too inconsistent and flawed. I myself have experimented with this medium and while lengthy and full-rounded lives emerged, they are difficult to prove. On occasions, these lives felt quite real but they can be dismissed quite easily as fantasies of the unconscious.

I interviewed one Englishman, who claimed under hypnosis, he had fought in the Crimean War as a past life personality called Reuben. What made this interesting was the intricate detail the man offered of the regiment he belonged to along with the battle details described. Sceptics often dismiss this as cryptoamnesia. Where the unconscious will use knowledge gained from books, TV and the internet as a means of creating the experience.

What made this case unusual, was that records were found of the said regiment which verified the intricate detail the man described. Information which had never come to light before. Therefore, cryptoamnesia was not possible.

If one accepts reincarnation as real, then the next question is what exactly is it? Do we live many hundreds of lives as the same soul or are they different facets, different personalities of our collective soul?

You sober up, your wife returns home, and the dog comes back to life. Last edited by Radarlove; May 2, 2008 at 07:57 am.
