I am not one for the past-life claim. If consciousness is shown to be a separate entity that can move through time and space and interact with other beings, then perhaps we should question whether these so-called 'past-lives' are something altogether very different.

I have read Buhlman's reports where he claims to have relived his 'past-life' in an OBE. I prefer Frank Kepple's interpretation of these experiences, if they are even true, in that you are simply merging and/or interacting with another conscious being, and thus gaining their memories. It's easy to interpret those memories as your own, which may lead you to assume it's a past-life that you are somehow uncovering.

Really, if psi truly exists, we should not be making such radical assumptions, else it may cloud the results!

Yep, I see this often.

Many of us have been raised on the "scientific" predisposition that consciousness dies with the brain. Considering the current scarcity of scientific evidence on both sides of the argument, a true skeptic would be wise to cast doubt on both claims.
