The International Journal of Regression Therapy, V The International Journal of Regression Therapy, V. 24, 2016 1 The International Journal of Regression Therapy THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF REGRESSION THERAPY Volume XXIV, March, 2016 http://journalofregressiontherapy.com/ The International Journal of Regression Therapy, V. 24, 2016 2 The organization for the new International Journal of Regression Therapy is continuing to publish the Journal formerly know as the Journal of Regression Therapy originally published under the auspices of two legacy organizations that do not exist today. It is felt by the Journal Policy Board that what was accomplished and begun by these organizations is too valuable to loose and too valuable not to continue. As the regression field gains adherents across the world this, the only international regression journal, is available to advance the regression discipline. For comments or questions go to the contact list at http://journalofregressiontherapy.com/ or e-mail one of the members of the policy board. Find past Journal issues at www.Lulu.com for download or hardcopy at modest cost. Search capabilities by author, topic, index, and article are available at the Journal web site. Contact one of us if you have difficulty. The International Journal of Regression Therapy is a professional publication. Its function is to serve as an open forum to share and discuss information, ideas, and theories, and for the publication of research in the regression field.

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?

    Tucker, Stevenson, Weiss, and Life: Renditions of the Transcendent View From Past- Life Memories John C. Gibbs, PhD The Ohio State University ABSTRACT: The work of researcher Jim Tucker and regression therapist Brian Weiss on past-life memories suggests a transcendent or non- reductionist view of human life. In this view, mental life or consciousness does not entirely re- duce to the neural activity of the brain, and bodily death involves a return to a nonphysical realm. This view is also suggested from other phenomena such as near- death experiences. The transcendent view from past- life memories entails two renditions. One rendition derives from Tucker’s—and​­ late senior colleague Ian Stevenson’s—​­empirical verifications of children’s past- life claims. Weiss’s psychotherapy- based rendition is more impressionistic and subject to the vul- nerabilities of the hypnotic method—​­as noted by both Tucker and Stevenson. Both renditions must contend with the theodicic problem (intensely rendered by Harold Kushner). Many questions remain. Nonetheless, Tucker’s, Stevenson’s, Weiss’s, and other authors’ related work may suffice to support a transcendent understanding of human life. KEY WORDS: past- life memories; Jim Tucker; Ian Stevenson; Brian Weiss; regression therapy; near-death experiences What happens when a person dies? Physiologically, one’s heart stops beating, one stops breathing, and one’s eyes dilate and fix as brain function is lost (Parnia, 2006). Poetically, one’s breath becomes air (Kalanithi, 2016). “The living gaze—​­even if the person in question was very old and that gaze was vague and flickering—​­goes flat” (Alex- ander, 2014, p.

  • Ciência E a Teoria Da «Vida Após a Morte»: Algumas Considerações Sobre a Filosofia Da Ética
    ISSN 1645-6566 / CONSCIÊNCIAS ‘06 - 2019 / PP. 67-80 CIÊNCIA E A TEORIA DA «VIDA APÓS A MORTE»: ALGUMAS CONSIDERAÇÕES SOBRE A FILOSOFIA DA ÉTICA PAULO NUNO MARTINS1 Resumo: Nas religiões Ocidentais o conceito de «vida após a morte» tem sido relacionado com ressurreição e moralidade, enquanto que nas religiões Orientais o mesmo conceito tem sido interligado com reencarnação e karma. Este artigo pretende ser uma contribuição para o estudo mais profundo deste tema da «vida após a morte», através da abordagem de algumas experiências da mecânica quântica e das ciências cognitivas que apoiam as teorias religiosas da reencarnação e ressurreição, conceitos tão importantes para a filosofia da ética. Palavras-chave: Ressureição e reencarnação, sobrevivência da consciência, percepção ex- tra-sensorial (PES), experiências de quase-morte (EQM), memória reencarnacional, filosofia da ética (bioética). 1. INTRODUÇÃO A morte é algo inerente à vida. No entanto, não sabemos exactamente de onde é prove- niente a Fonte da vida. A este propósito, é de referir que genericamente o ser humano cren- te acredita nas teorias da reencarnação e/ou ressurreição. A palavra «reencarnação» deriva do Latim, e significa literalmente «entrar na carne outra vez». O termo Grego sinónimo é palingenesis, e que significa «nascer outra vez». Por seu lado, o termo «ressurreição» deriva da palavra Latina resurrectione, e significa literalmente «levantar». A doutrina da reencarna- ção é um tema central na maioria das religiões Orientais, tais como o Hinduísmo, Budismo, enquanto que a doutrina da ressurreição é preferencialmente adoptada pelas religiões Oci- dentais, tais como o Cristianismo, Judaísmo. Neste sentido, poderemos perguntar se existe uma «alma» que sobrevive à morte e migra de um corpo para outro (ou por outras palavras, se existe «vida após a morte»?).

And if I were to ask myself from what literature we, here in Europe, who have been nurtured almost exclusively on the thoughts of Greeks and Romans, and of one semitic race, may draw that corrective which is most wanted in order to make our inner life more perfect, more comprehensive, more universal, in fact more truly human, a life, not for this life only, but a transfigured and eternal life, again - I should point to India.

    Published in Journal of the Society for Psychical Research, Volume69.2, Number 879, pp. 49-77, April 2005 THE CASE OF IRIS FARCZADY - A STOLEN LIFE by Mary Rose Barrington, Peter Mulacz and Titus Rivas ABSTRACT In 1933 a 15 [online correction of: 16]-year-old well-educated Hungarian girl, Iris Farczády, who had dabbled extensively in mediumship, suddenly underwent a drastic personality change, claiming to be reborn Lucía, a 41-year-old Spanish working woman said by her to have died earlier that year. Transformed into 'Lucía', Iris spoke thereafter in fluent Spanish, a language she had apparently never learnt or had the opportunity to acquire, and could not understand any other language. Lucía has remained in control ever since and, now aged 86, she still considers Iris to have been a different person, who ceased to exist in 1933. The three authors of this paper met Lucía in 1998, and a camcorder cassette of interviews with her are lodged with the SPR. Attempts have been made to locate Lucía's claimed Spanish family, but these have not been successful. While the reincarnation aspect of the case has not been supported, there remains the puzzle of how Iris acquired her knowledge of the Spanish language, customs and popular culture, and why Iris should have willed or submitted to her 'replacement' by Lucía. INTRODUCTION In a paper dating from 1989, Dr Hubert Larcher, former Director of the Institut Métapsychique International (IMI) in Paris, mentioned a long-forgotten case of apparent possession involving Iris Farczády, a Hungarian girl who, in August 1933, at the age of 15 [correction of: 16], underwent a dramatic change of personality (Larcher, 1989).
