Can Some Memories be Past Lives?
We
have seen how consciousness seems to be able to travel from the brain, so can
it link to a past life memory? Enter Dr Ian Stevenson, the former head of the
department of parapsychology at the University of Virginia. He has specialized
in collecting the past life stories from children around the world by
interviewing them and all the witnesses to their experience. This includes
looking for inconsistency or fraud by doing follow-up visits later to check for
signs of any personal gains that could account for deception. An example of one
of his cases is the account of Swarnlata Mishra, born in 1948 in the Madhya
district of India.
This
is an extract from his book, Twenty Cases
Suggestive of Reincarnation:
When
she was three years old, Swarnlata started having spontaneous past life
memories of being a girl called Biyi Pathak who lived in a village over 100
miles away. She recalled the details of the white house with four rooms, black
doors fitted with iron bars and a stone slab floor.
A
girl called Biyi was later found to have lived in the house Swarnlata
described, and had died nine years before Swarnlata had been born. She also
identified and named several of the family and servants when she visited the
house where Biyi had lived and wasn’t fooled by a trick when a non-relative was
introduced to her and posed as a relative of Biyi. She was even able to
remember the details of the previous life when she went to a wedding and had
difficulty finding a latrine. While the father did not discourage these
memories, no sign of motivation of deception could be found.
A total of 49 separate points were collected about Swarnlata’s story and
verified by at least one independent witness. None of them could be explained
away except by reincarnation.
In
all, Ian Stevenson and his colleagues have painstakingly collected more than
2,600 cases from a wide range of cultures and religions around the world. Many
are from third-world countries where the children often live in isolated
villages without media intrusion. In this type of community they are isolated
from many of the variables that could be alternative explanations for
reincarnation. A total of 65 fully detailed cases have been published in his
books and 260 in articles.
The
eminent neuro-psychiatrist Dr Brian Weiss of the University of Miami staked his
reputation and career on the publication of the case of a client who recovered
rapidly when a past life surfaced spontaneously during a hypnosis session. His
book Many Lives Many Masters
contains in-depth phenomenological accounts of the experiences and the
reduction of the client’s symptoms. The case eroded Weiss’s skepticism of past
lives and he concluded it didn’t matter whether a person believed in
reincarnation or not, they would always link to a past life story when invited
in the right way.
If
consciousness can survive death and access a past life memory, can it also link
to the memories between lives? Using deep hypnosis counseling psychologist Dr
Michael Newton found that these soul memories appeared to be brought to
conscious awareness following a past life regression. Calling it Life Between
Lives Spiritual Regression he worked
with thousands of clients during 30 years, publishing the research in two
widely read books, Destiny of Souls and
Journey of Souls. The remarkable thing is that despite
dissimilar past lives, the clients would experience similar events between
lives. This includes reviews of the past life with spirit guides, planning for
the next life with spirits of light called ‘Elders’, and working with other
souls in groups.
This
all seems to confirm reincarnation, and a growing number of people in the
Western world now believe this. A study initiated by Professor Kerkhofs at the
University of Louvain in Belgium reviewed people’s beliefs in reincarnation in
Western Europe by using sample sizes of 1,000 in each country.15 The average
percentage of people believing in reincarnation across Europe was 22, with
highs of 41 in Iceland, 36 in Switzerland and 29 percent in the UK.
