That it is published at all is an achievement and, of course, there are many who have contributed much to make this happen, not the least of which are the many global authors (nine countries in this issue) who believe in it. My thanks to my fellow Board Members and many reviewers who unselfishly gave their time. The goal has been to publish across the world and we are moving rapidly in that direction. Our subscriber list is currently over one thousand with more than 31 countries represented. The intent also is to raise the scientific quality of the overall journal by attracting articles from the mainstream health and scientific community as well as empirical research in the regression discipline. Let me know if you think we are headed in the right direction. I believe you will enjoy the wide variety of entries in this issue and find them thought provoking. It is hoped it will also spur you to contribute. Our first article is by Chet Snow, a past president of APRT (see “History” on the Journal web site), who completed a study in collaboration with psychologist Helen Wambach. She past away part way through the research and Snow completed it. This article is a summary of that research of discovering the future through the progression of many volunteers. It was published in the first issue of the Journal in 1986. If one believes that the human species is in a great transition, then this article is particularly timely. The second entry by Vitor Rodrigues provides data for the effectiveness of regression therapy. Hans TenDam gives us some insightful brain research on comparisons between meditative states and dissociative states during the regression experiences. Jan Sigdell reveals how systematic biases in the non- believing community masks the evidence for reincarnation. Dieter Hassler continues this topic exploring some well-documented cases of reincarnation. Describing her process for resolving the trauma to the mothers of intentionally and unintentionally aborted pregnancies, Nicolette Lachmann conducted a study (and therapy) of eleven mothers with this experience. In his second article on the ancient Greek mystery schools, Athanasios Komianos describes the Eleusinian teachings and initiating processes. He draws parallels to the regression process. The Blog Section provides opportunities for opinions, a short presentation of a case and other material in a less formal manner. Six nice examples provide examples of the usefulness of this section. Schwimmer (the first to graduate from the then newly minted APRT regression training program) details his personal journey through Shamanic training and contrasts it with regression practices. Two very interesting regression cases are presented by Bernadeta Hodkova and Diane Ross. For Seth readers, in Hodkova’s article, is this case an example of bleed-over of counterpart lives?
