You Can Change Your DNA

When we are born, the deoxyribonucleic acid/DNA in our bodies contains the blueprints for who we are and instructions for who we will become. For example, it can tell our eyes to eventually turn from blue at birth to hazel later on, our length to grow from 20 inches to 70 and direct a multitude of other changes over the course of our lives.

Many people have mistakenly believed that the DNA with which we are born is the sole determinant for who we are and will become, but scientists have understood for decades that this genetic determinism is a flawed theory.

The field of epigenetics refers to the science that studies how the development, functioning and evolution of biological systems are influenced by forces operating outside the DNA sequence, including intracellular, environmental and energetic influences.

You Can change Your DNA Epigentetics chartSince the 1950s scientists have accepted that epigenetic influence is critical in our development. Epi – Greek for “besides” – combines with the word, genetics, to essentially mean “something more than genetics.” That “something more” is widely held today to refer to our environment – thus meaning that our genetic code and the environment in which we develop determine who and what we are.

Researchers have shown through studies that epigenetics entails even more than DNA and the places where we live, the climate around us and all the twists, turns and hard knocks of our lives.

HeartMath deems integral elements of the model for who we are and what we can be are the thoughts, feelings and intentions we have every day. After two decades of studies, HeartMath researchers say other factors such as the appreciation and love we have for someone or the anger and anxiety we feel also influence and can alter the outcomes of each individual’s DNA blueprint.

Stem cell biologist and bestselling author Bruce Lipton, Ph.D.,says the distinction between genetic determinism and epigenetics is important.

“The difference between these two is significant because this fundamental belief called genetic determinism literally means that our lives, which are defined as our physical, physiological and emotional behavioral traits, are controlled by the genetic code,” Lipton said in an interview with the online magazine, Superconsciousness. “This kind of belief system provides a visual picture of people being victims: If the genes control our life function, then our lives are being controlled by things outside of our ability to change them. This leads to victimization that the illnesses and diseases that run in families are propagated through the passing of genes associated with those attributes. Laboratory evidence shows this is not true.”

A Steady Diet of Quantum Nutrients

“When we have negative emotions such as anger, anxiety and dislike or hate, or think negative thoughts such as ‘I hate my job,’ ‘I don’t like so and so’ or ‘Who does he think he is?’, we experience stress and our energy reserves are redirected,” an article on HMI’s website explains. This causes a portion of our energy reserves, which otherwise would be put to work maintaining, repairing and regenerating our complex biological systems, to instead confront the stresses these negative thoughts and feelings create.

“In contrast,” the article continues, “when we activate the power of our hearts’ commitment and intentionally have sincere feelings such as appreciation, care and love, we allow our hearts’ electrical energy to work for us. Consciously choosing a core heart feeling over a negative one means instead of the drain and damage stress causes to our bodies’ systems, we are renewed mentally, physically and emotionally. The more we do this the better we’re able to ward off stress and energy drains in the future. Heartfelt positive feelings fortify our energy systems and nourish the body at the cellular level. At HeartMath we call these emotions quantum nutrients.”

In simple terms most people can relate to, what this means is that when we are having a bad day, going through a rough period such as dealing with the sickness of a loved one or coping with financial troubles, we can actually influence our bodies – all the way down to the cellular level – by intentionally thinking positive thoughts and focusing on positive emotions.

Changing DNA Through Intention

The power of intentional thoughts and emotions goes beyond theory at the HeartMath Institute. In a study, researchers have tested this idea and proven its veracity.

HeartMath researchers have gone so far as to show that physical aspects of DNA strands could be influenced by human intention. The article, Modulation of DNA Conformation by Heart-Focused Intention – McCraty, Atkinson, Tomasino, 2003 – describes experiments that achieved such results.

For example, an individual holding three DNA samples was directed to generate heart coherence – a beneficial state of mental, emotional and physical balance and harmony – with the aid of a HeartMath technique that utilizes heart breathing and intentional positive emotions. The individual succeeded, as instructed, to intentionally and simultaniously unwind two of the DNA samples to different extents and leave the third unchanged.

“The results provide experimental evidence to support the hypothesis that aspects of the DNA molecule can be altered through intentionality,” the article states. “The data indicate that when individuals are in a heart-focused, loving state and in a more coherent mode of physiological functioning, they have a greater ability to alter the conformation of DNA.

“Individuals capable of generating high ratios of heart coherence were able to alter DNA conformation according to their intention. … Control group participants showed low ratios of heart coherence and were unable to intentionally alter the conformation of DNA.”

Heart Intelligence, the Unifying Factor

The influence or control individuals can have on their DNA – who and what they are and will become – is further illuminated in HeartMath founder Doc Childre’s theory of heart intelligence. Childre postulates that “an energetic connection or coupling of information” occurs between the DNA in cells and higher dimensional structures – the higher self or spirit.

Childre further postulates, according to the Modulation of DNA article, “The heart serves as a key access point through which information originating in the higher dimensional structures is coupled into the physical human system (including DNA), and that states of heart coherence generated through experiencing heartfelt positive emotions increase this coupling.”

The heart, which generates a much stronger electromagnetic field than the brain’s, provides the energetic field that binds together the higher dimensional structures and the body’s many systems as well as its DNA.

Childre’s theory of heart intelligence proposes that “individuals who are able to maintain states of heart coherence have increased coupling to the higher dimensional structures and would thus be more able to produce changes in the DNA.”

Global Coherence Initiative
Are you familiar with HeartMath Institute’s studies on the role of the human heart in helping to shift our emotions and reduce stress? Or what your heart rate variability and coherence say about your health and well-being?

How about HMI and the Global Coherence Initiative’s recent studies on how human beings may be more connected to each other and all living things than previously thought? Or how the earth’s magnetic fields and solar activity influence human health and behavior?

HMI’s Research Center has undertaken a number of exciting studies in this area during the last several years. Now we need your support so our scientists can continue and expand this research. (Look for the special gift we are offering at end of this letter.)

Key Connections

HRV synchronization – 2011-2015 study: The heart rate variability (HRV), or heart rhythms of individuals in different locations synchronize with each other over a 30-day period, indicating humanity is synchronized to rhythms in the earth’s fields.
Heart-brain interaction – 2007 study: Researchers record a number of instances in which a mother’s brain waves synchronize to her baby’s heartbeats.
Happy couples’ heart rhythms synchronize with each other when sleeping together.
Increasing heart coherence – 2003 study: Researchers observe an increase in a boy and his dog’s heart-rhythm coherence levels when the boy is instructed to “feel” love and care for his dog.
2015 Science of Interconnectivity Research Project

The studies above, among others, prompted HeartMath Institute to explore whether such connectedness might also exist on a grander scale. Is each individual, for instance, connected to every other individual – and even all living things – through some sort of global field environment?

We launched the 2015 Science of Interconnectivity Research Project to help answer these questions and follow up on a study involving 1,600 participants. Scientists found that geomagnetic and solar activity were significantly associated with effects on mental functions and emotional states in many of the study’s participants.

Two key areas HMI hopes to explore in relation to this study are:

1. Do human attitudes, emotions and intentions affect our personal environment and the global field environment?
2. Does Earth’s electromagnetic field carry biologically relevant information that connects all living systems?

Contributions to this project, in addition to helping expand on previous studies, will be used to retain the services of HeartMath Institute’s adopted scientist, Heather Connery, for another year. Since January 2014, Connery has been analyzing geomagnetic activity recorded by the Global Coherence Monitoring System’s sensor sites around the world. HMI wants her and others to continue analyzing and cataloguing an existing large volume of data along with new data that streams in continuously.

       HILARION 2015

May 10-17, 2015

Beloved Ones, 

There are signs everywhere of the changes that are taking place upon your planet. These changes are diverse and encompass many spectrums of life. The Earth changes reflect the changes within humanity as they strive to cope and to understand what is occurring. Each tragedy that occurs brings out the best within humanity as they strive to give what they can to assist. Many questions are being asked within all hearts, for it seems as though the world that they knew is crumbling and falling apart. Humanity is experiencing the effects of their planet shaking off the chains of the past as she moves into her rightful place in the universe. These changes have occurred many times through the millennia but in these times, humanity has an opportunity to rise above and emerge victorious.

It is a time for each person to go within and seek to know self, their divine self. It is a time to achieve and maintain equilibrium in one’s management of their inner and outer lives, to make choice and decision as to the path that they follow. As the past dissolves, new beginnings are emerging in their glorious potential and possibilities. Many of you are now firmly on the path of your destiny, doing what brings you your greatest joy and happiness. Others are in the midst of challenges that seem too great to bear. They are learning to have strength, determination and persistence. Those are very important soul qualities to have. As you see those that you know and care about going through their personal challenges, send your love and healing to everyone around you, for that is what each person wants most, to love and be loved, for it is love that is the mightiest force in the universe and can be a healing balm when most needed.

Nurture and care for each other with the utmost love, honor and respect, for it is also a time of moving beyond self and into the field of oneness, of joining in the expansion and evolution into a higher consciousness and understanding. Call often upon your spiritual guides and angels when help and hope is needed and remember that you are never alone, that you are constantly surrounded by love, for love is all there is. It is good to sit for a few moments each day to feel and experience this love within your hearts, minds and souls. Connect to that which gives you sustenance and daily inspiration in whatever way works best for you. Be at peace and stay calm as the inner and outer changes take place.

You are here to master duality by embracing all aspects of your being. As you let go of your resistance and denials of hidden aspects of yourselves, realize that everything that happens is good, whether perceived as good or bad, right or wrong, it is all given to you in love in order that you might hone yourselves into masters of this realm, to reclaim your divine birthright as children of the divine. You chose these experiences in order that you might gain a greater understanding of the nuances and complexities of the journey back to source, with you as the victor.

Keep this ever in your thoughts and move forward when you must and rest and nurture when your physical body prompts. As you attune to the greater rhythms of your life, all will be well.

Until next week…

May 3-10, 2015

Beloved Ones,

As you walk the ways of the world you live in, you are daily changing yourselves and those around you. Meeting self in all of its aspects and nuances requires the utmost courage and sincerity of purpose but the rewards for your persistence are becoming self evident. When you look back in a time not too distant, you can see in hindsight that all of your experiences have brought you to this moment of clarity and inner strength. Every experience you have ever had, has brought you greater insight, wisdom and spiritual growth. As you move forward on your personal journey into higher consciousness, awareness and understanding, you make it that much easier for others to find their way forward also. Through all of your self imposed disciplines and spiritual practices through the years, you have learned that love of self is of the utmost importance on your spiritual quest, for it is from that love that the love of the divine finds expression through you.

It is well for you to keep in mind, that the ultimate purpose of your spiritual efforts is the building and strengthening of your etheric body of Light. This body surrounds your physical body and is composed of many different aspects and layers. Each layer (the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual) needs to transmute any and all energies and influences that prevent the lightbody from coming into greater prominence in your life. As the cleansing and purging of the human condition continues, that lightbody grows in luminosity and radiance. This is the ultimate objective of the Divine Plan, that humanity as a whole, remembers the Light that they truly are and expresses that Light more until all density is transmuted. This is accomplished by daily living and practicing of the golden rule, the understanding that as you do unto others, so it is done unto you. That spiritual law has always been in existence along with that of harming none.

Do not falter on your spiritual journey as these challenges come before you. These tests and trials are honing you into a being that has greatness within them. Each step that you take towards the ultimate purpose of your incarnation here upon the planet, is a step towards victory. When humanity moves beyond the confines of duality and polarity and chooses to express and manifest their greater Light, the world will change and transform quickly. Look to the future then, with hope and with a peaceful heart. As long as you are sincerely making the effort to return to the Light that is your true state of being, you are in harmony with the plan of your soul’s journey into bringing all aspects of yourself into the greater Light. Every person incarnate on the Earth at this time has an equal opportunity to advance in their awareness and consciousness.

It is all a matter of choice, as each person traverses the movement between dimensional frequency levels. There needs to be a greater cleansing of so much of Earth’s long history of the forgetfulness of its inhabitants of that greater Light which they are. All actions and deeds from the past which left great pockets of darkness in many places on the planet are areas that are now being cleansed and balanced. It is important to send your love, Light, healing and support to these areas of the world where the inhabitants have been so severely tested and to help in any way that is so sorely needed at this time. Put yourselves in their shoes for a moment and feel how grateful you would be for the most basic of necessities in such a situation. Offer your prayers for the highest outcomes to come to those who are suffering.

There will be many areas of the world that will be transformed in many ways and it is important that you stay centered, remain calm and send out the Light where it is needed most. All it takes is your focus and intention for a few moments several times a day. The planet Earth is home to all and is the only home to each of its inhabitants. Send Light and love to this conscious and loving Being also.

Until next week…

Ideen – der „Stoff“ aus dem Universen entstehen – Warum unsere Überzeugungen unsere Wirklichkeit gestalten

von  | BewusstseinRealitätsformung

Ueberzeugungen-unsere-WirklichkeitLiebe Freunde,

heute möchte ich mein Projekt ’Rückkehr nach Eden’ weiter fortsetzen. Auf der Suche nach besonders machtvollen Werkzeugen durfte ich wieder einmal feststellen, dass mit Abstand das wirkmächtigste Tool unsere Überzeugungen sind. Unsere Überzeugungen sind Gedanken, die sich zu unseren Glaubenssätzen ausgeprägt haben. Unsere Welt  wie wir sie wahrnehmen  ist das Resultat unserer Gedankengebilde. Vor etwa 2500 Jahren sagte Buddha: „Alles, was wir sind ist ein Resultat dessen was wir gedacht haben.“ Etwa zur gleichen Zeit entwarf Platon ein philosophisches Modell für diese Feststellung. Die sogenannte Ideenlehre beschreibt – zumindest im Groben – die Zusammenhänge zwischen Geist und Materie. In der platonischen Ideenlehre sind Ideen unwandelbare, nur geistig erfassbare Urbilder, die den sinnlich wahrnehmbaren Phänomenen zugrunde liegen. Nach Platons Ideenlehre sind Ideen eigenständige, dem Bereich der sinnlich wahrnehmbaren Objekte ontologisch übergeordnete Entitäten. Der Ausdruck Idee (ἰδέα – idéa) bedeutet „Gestalt“, „Erscheinung“, „Aussehen“, oder „Urbild“. Allgemeinsprachlich versteht man darunter einen Gedanken, nach dem man handeln kann, oder ein Leitbild, an dem man sich orientiert. Die philosophische Bedeutung wurde von Platon geprägt. Gute 2500 Jahre nach Buddha und Platon lieferte uns Burkhard Heim ein quantenphysikalisches Modell, indem er die Zusammenhänge von Geist und Materie mathematisch und algebraisch herleitete. Eine Essenz seiner Forschung drückt Burkhard Heim in den beiden folgenden Sätzen aus:

 

Geist, Materie, Quantenphämomene und der Beobachtereffekt

„Das, was wir als Materie bezeichnen, unterliegt einem Wirkprozess, der von den geistigen Dimensionen gesteuert wird. Von der Entstehung bis zu Steuerung der materiellen Welt entspringt alles den geistigen Dimensionen.“

Etwas praktischer wird der Physiker John Archibald Wheeler indem er sagt:

„Quantenphänomene sind undefiniert bis zu dem Moment, wo sie gemessen, beziehungsweise beobachtet werden. Bereits das potenzielle Wissen, als Ahnung oder Intuition, aber auch als Glaube im Sinne des Beobachtereffekts reichen aus, um ein Quant zu aktivieren.“

 

Geistige Dimensionen, physikalische Gesetze und materielle Wirklichkeit

Ich bin davon überzeugt, dass all diese Aussagen darauf hinauslaufen, dass sämtliche „physikalischen Gesetze“ dem Auftrag der Ideen aus den geistigen Dimensionen angepasst sind. Physikalische Gesetze wandeln Ideen aus den geistigen Dimensionen in die materielle Wirklichkeit um. Ebenso halten sie – entsprechend der Ideen – ihren Bauplan und deren Funktion aufrecht.

Aus den Erkenntnissen von Burkhard Heim würde sich – meiner Überzeugung nach – sogar schlussfolgern lassen, dass wiedernatürliche Ideen automatisch zu einer Anpassung der hierfür erforderlichen physikalischen Gesetze führen. Die physikalischen Gesetze richten sich demzufolge nach den Ideen, die aus raumzeitlichen Dimensionen stammen – dem sogenannten Apeiron (1, 2). Über diesen „Ursprung“ schrieb Burkhard Heim:

Vor dem Anfang der Welt war nicht Raum und nicht Zeit, aber in dieser zeitlosen Ewigkeit des Aperions, hinter dem Urgrund des Seins, werden in äonischen Gedanken die Ideen aller Strukturen möglicher Zeitlichkeit gezeugt.“

Es sind also die Ideen, unsere Gedanken bzw. Vorstellungen, die sich in unsere Welt als Realität abbilden. Bevor wir uns mit den äußeren Dingen befassen, um nach sinnvollen Tools für eine erfolgreiche „Rückkehr nach Eden“ Ausschau zu halten, sollten wir uns um die Basis kümmern. Das Wissen, dass unsere Gedanken tatsächlich unsere Realität erschaffen. Obwohl ich bereits vor über zehn Jahren in meinem Buch „Gedanken erschaffen Realität“ über diese Zusammenhänge berichtet habe, falle ich doch immer wieder in einen Modus des Relativierens oder gar des Vergessens meiner Kernaussagen. Erfreulicherweise erscheinen immer mehr Veröffentlichungen zu diesem Thema. So fasst z.B. Ulrich Arndt in seinem Artikel „Die Realität ist steuerbar“ (3) die physikalischen Erkenntnisse von Vadim Zeland zusammen:

 

Die Ausstrahlung gedanklicher Energien und ihre Folgen – Variantenraum und Wille

Allein die Ausstrahlung der gedanklichen Energie materialisiert eine potenzielle VarianteWer ständig unzufrieden ist, wird immer mehr Grund dazu erfahren. Bei negativer Einstellung zur Umwelt, wird sich auch die Welt von der schlimmsten Seite zeigen. Umgekehrt wird eine positive Einstellung ganz natürlich das eigene Leben zum Besten verändern. Wer nun versucht, die unangenehmen Passagen im „Drehbuch“ seines

Variantenraums zu ändern, denkt dabei verstärkt an das, was ihm nicht gefällt – und prompt bekommt er genau das, was er nicht wollte. Seine Lebenslinie läuft noch verstärkt weiter, so wie sie war. Wer sein Leben erfolgreich ändern möchte, muss als Allererstes seine gedankliche Ausstrahlung verändern – nur so kann er dann auf eine ganz andere Lebenslinie „umsteigen“ und eine andere Variante „wählen“. „Indem sie positive Energie in sich aufnehmen und aussenden, schaffen Sie sich eigenes Paradies“.

Ob dieses Wissen auch wirklich zum nachhaltigen Einsatz kommt, bestimmt unser Wille. Er entscheidet u.a. über Bestand oder Vergessen unserer Wünsche. Und auch darüber, ob und wie stark unsere Vorstellungen in die erkennbare Realität eingreifen. In diesem vorbildlichen Sinne nehme ich die Aussagen zweier herausragender Denker, Arthur Schopenhauer und Immanuel Kant besonders ernst:

Schopenhauer Kant Kategorischer Imperativ

Und so erhebe ich den so bedeutsamen Satz von Immanuel Kant zu meinem Leitmotiv: „Handle nur nach derjenigen Maxime, durch die du zugleich wollen kannst, dass sie ein allgemeines Gesetz werde.“ (Der kategorische Imperativ in seiner Grundform).

Scientific Proof Of Reincarnation. Yes, The Soul Exists.

Written by Steven Bancarz|  A lot of people are resistant to the idea of a  “soul” because of how this term has gotten wrapped up in religious superstition and dogma.  Some people think it is outright silly.  But the concept of consciousness being able to detach from the body offers a lot of explanatory power when it comes to phenomenon such as Near Death Experiences, Out-Of-Body Experiences, astral projections, and even reincarnation.

In fact, the evidence for reincarnation is the best hard scientific evidence we have for the existence of a soul.   This is a bold claim, but the evidence for reincarnation is undeniable and cannot collectively be attributed to chance or any other physical explanation.  If reincarnation exists, the soul exists.  Let’s take a look!

Before we explore the evidence, it’s helpful to remember that we do not need hard PROOF in order to be justified in believing in something.  If the weatherman says there is a 70% chance of showers, I don’t need proof that it’s going to rain before I am justified in bringing an umbrella with me.  I don’t have to be certain that a meteor isn’t going to fall on my head before I go outside.

I don’t need hard scientific proof of extra-terrestrial life in order to be justified in believing that life exists on other planets, because there are so many good reasons that, when taken together cumulatively, provide a plausible account for belief in life on other planets.  This is known as “abductive reasoning” and is the kind of reasoning we use most in our every day lives.

Reincarnation is not something you can objectively measure in the same way you can measure a chemical reaction, so it may even be in principle non-provable using the scientific method.  Science is the empirical measurement of the natural world, and the soul is something which would exist beyond the natural world.  So the question is, “Are there enough solid pieces of evidence that, when taken together, provide a compelling case for reincarnation?” I think the answer is a resounding yes.

The scientific evidence for reincarnation

Dr. Ian Stevenson, Ph.D., former Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Virginia School of Medicine, spent 40 years researching reincarnation stories within children. This former chairman of the Department of Psychiatry and Neurology investigated over 3000 independent stories of children who claimed to have memories and know people from their alleged past lives.  According to Stevenson, the number of cases that are worth considering is so high that it exceeds the ability of him and his team to investigate them all.

Birth Marks

Facial recognition software confirmed that there was in fact a facial resemblance to their alleged prior incarnation. Some had birth marks on places where they allegedly suffered fatal wounds from in their past life. They were often dramatic and sometimes bizarre lesions, such as malformed digits or missing limbs, misshapen heads, and odd markings. As Dr. Stevenson writes in his paper “Birthmarks and Birth Defects Corresponding to Wounds on Deceased Persons” in the peer-reviewed Journal of Scientific Exploration:

“About 35% of children who claim to remember previous lives have birthmarks and/or birth defects that they (or adult informants) attribute to wounds on a person whose life the child remembers. The cases of 210 such children have been investigated. The birthmarks were usually areas of hairless, puckered skin; some were areas of little or no pigmentation (hypopigmented macules); others were areas of increased pigmentation (hyperpigmented nevi).

The birth defects were nearly always of rare types. In cases in which a deceased person was identified the details of whose life unmistakably matched the child’s statements, a close correspondence was nearly always found between the birthmarks and/or birth defects on the child and the wounds on the deceased person. In 43 of 49 cases in which a medical document (usually a postmortem report) was obtained, it confirmed the correspondence between wounds and birthmarks (or birth defects).”

Verifiable memories of past lives

The memories the children recalled were far too specific to be chalked up to chance. In an article where 3 cases were looked at in great detail by Dr. Stevenson, he reported that each of the 3 children made roughly 30-40 claims regarding memories that had of their past lives, 82-92% of which were both verifiable and correct.  The particularities and specific details that were given by the children ranged from anything from the names, personalities, and occupations of their former parents and siblings to the precise layouts of the houses they lived in.  It was not uncommon for Stevenson to encounter a child who could go into a town he had never been in before and give him the details of the village, former personal belongings, the neighbourhood in which he lived in a past life, and the people who he use to associate with.

As he concludes: “It was possible in each case to find a family that had lost a member whose life corresponded to the subject’s statements. The statements of the subject, taken as a group, were sufficiently specific so that they could not have corresponded to the life of any other person. We believe we have excluded normal transmission of the correct information to the subjects and that they obtained the correct information they showed about the concerned deceased person by some paranormal process.”

Phobias from past-life traumas

Something which interested Dr. Stevenson was the phobias that were developed from past-life traumas.  As Dr. Jim Tucker writes:

“Another area that interested Ian was the behavior of these children. He wrote a paper about phobias that many of the children showed, usually related to the mode of death from the life they claimed to remember (Stevenson, 1990a). He reported that 36% of the children in a series of 387 cases showed such fears. They occurred when the children were very young, sometimes before they had made their claims about the previous life. For example, he described a girl in Sri Lanka who as a baby resisted baths so much that three adults had to hold her down to give her one. By the age of six months, she also showed a marked phobia of buses and then later described the life of a girl in another village who had been walking along a narrow road between flooded paddy fields when she stepped back to avoid a bus going by, fell into the flood water, and drowned.”  The original journal article these findings were published can be found here.

Recognition from the scientific community

What seems to be more than mere chance is that children were able to accurately identify former acquaintances and relationships they had with people in their prior lives. Most impressively was a Lebanese girl who was able to remember and identify 25 different people from her past life and the interpersonal relationships she had with them. His best findings were put together in a book called Twenty Cases Suggestive of Reincarnation.  For further reading, this book would really be your best bet.  The American Journal of Psychiatry reviewed these cases and said there were ‘‘cases recorded in such full detail as to persuade the open mind that reincarnation is a tenable hypothesis to explain them’’. He had several other books and papers published and widely accepted in the mainstream community.

As a review in the Journal of the American Medical Association stated ‘‘In regard to reincarnation he has painstakingly and unemotionally collected a detailed series of cases from India, cases in which the evidence is difficult to explain on any other grounds.’’ The reviewer added: ‘‘He has placed on record a large amount of data that cannot be ignored’’.  His one paper called ‘‘The Explanatory Value of the Idea of Reincarnation’’ had thousands of requests for reprints by scientists all over the world.  His findings were also published in peer reviewed journals the Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, and the International Journal of Comparative Sociology.

During a presentation at Penn State University in 2005, Dr. Jim B. Tucker, a child psychiatrist at the University of Virginia, described how a mother was leaning over the changing table to change her son’s diaper. Her young toddler unexpectedly said, “When I was your age, I used to change your diapers.” Sam Taylor, of Vermont, was born 18 months following his grandfather’s death. When he made this comment, he was only a few years old. When he was four and a half years old, however, Taylor was able to pick out his grandfather from a class picture of about 20 people and identify his grandfather’s first car from a photograph.

Here is video of a young boys reincarnation story covered by ABC news to provide you a glimpse into the nature of these cases.  It’s important to note that this case is American, so the parents are not influencing or encouraging the boy to believe in reincarnation in the name of culture or religion:

 

 

 

Conclusion

This is just a small fraction of the amount of evidence that exists for reincarnation.  Upon coming to a conclusion about all his findings and his publications, we have to ask ourselves “What is the best explanation that can accommodate all of this evidence?”  Why would there be so many cases of children who claim to have been other people, who know the specific names and interpersonal relationships of the person they recall being, who have similar behaviour and personalities as the people they claimed to be, who have birthmarks and abnormalities where they claimed to have suffered wounds in their past lives, and who have specific phobias linked back to alleged past life traumas if reincarnation did not exist?

When we consider that there is no naturalistic explanation that can account for all of data, and when we consider the explanatory power of reincarnation, we are more than justified in subscribing to reincarnation for scientific reasons. The accounts are far too precise to be chalked up as chance, and all other explanations are impoverished in trying to explain such a wide array of data.

Reincarnation can no longer be looked at as some woo-woo, pseudoscientific, religiously dogmatic New Age fantasy, and neither can the soul.  We can infer the reality of the soul because it is the best explanation for all of the given data.   There must be a non-physical part of us (consciousness itself, perhaps) that contains memories that leaves our body and then enters into a new body.

This is a hypothesis which has gotten serious attention in the mainstream academic community, and is still ripe with investigation to this day.  When we take all the evidence together and look at it without religious or scientific bias getting in the way, it seems as though we are not only justified in believing in reincarnation, but it also may be the best of all explanations for the strongest cases.
