Reincarnation is the religious concept that Buddhists, followers of Hinduism and a number of tribes believe in. However, there are more and more believers coming forth in the Western World. Some liken the concept to the death on the Cross and Jesus rising from the dead on the third day. Spiritually, they are equally believable.
The idea is unacceptable to most followers of Christianity, Judaism and Islamic followers. But, some sects within these major religions do accept reincarnation as truth. One such example is the Kaballah, which branched out from Judaism. Most East Indian religions and residents of the Eastern World do believe it is reality.
There was a Madison, Wisconsin housewife who, under hypnosis, regressed to a previous life as a child in Ireland. She repeated details of that previous life. It was lived in Ireland 59 years before the Madison woman was born. She related incidents from that life and even spoke using an Irish dialect, which the housewife would have had no knowledge of.
As the hypnotist took the middle class housewife into a regression that occurred prior to her birth in Wisconsin, she spoke to him in the guise of Bridey Murphy, who lived in 19th century Ireland. Morey Bernstein, the man who put her under hypnosis, claimed she revealed memories of that past life that correlated to later research into the life of Bridey Murphy.
Dr. Ian Stevenson, investigated in a different way. He interviewed children who had told stories of previous lives that would have required more sophistication than a small child would have. He kept detailed records, then later compared the facts. He used strict scientific protocol to document each fact.
He began by gathering data from a child who claimed memories of a past life. He went on to confirm those memories and match them to a child who lived when and where the subject indicated. He then verified details such as birthmarks, birth defects and medical details gained through medical records.
Verifying each detail ruled out the possibility of falsehoods or someone perpetrating a scam. The children came from all around the world. All details support the reality of reincarnation.
Dr. Stevenson is a respected individual with a spotless reputation. He has a medical degree and has written many articles prior to the time he began his investigations. He was head of the Psychiatry Department at the University of Virginia, an accredited college.
Buddhism teaches there is not an eternal soul, only a stream of consciousness linking one life to another one. According to them, there is no eternal soul. Following someones death he is reborn. The number of lives range from five to ten depending on the branch.
Traditional Buddhism teaches that there are ten. They are classified from the top, most important, which is Buddha, to the bottom, which is depraved man. Each new life brings greater compassion and striving to achieve enlightenment.
Reincarnation, backed up by facts or alluded to by religious beliefs, is something each person will choose to accept or decline the truth of. For those who do not want to think life ends with death, it is an attractive concept. Those who believe cannot be shaken and those who do not cannot be dissuaded from their denial.
