Reincarnation (in different religions) http://www.crystalinks.com/reincarnation.html Reality is a consciousness experiment set in linear time to experience emotions. Within the matrix of its design, all things happen simultaneously. Hence there is no Past, Present or Future but multidimensional experiences souls have simultaneously. To view a past life through regression is to see an experience that your soul is having in another reality that perhaps affects the outcome of what it is doing here. As a hypnotherapist, people have past life regressions to make sense of their current life and to heal their issues. The goal of any past life regression (as unique to the individual person involved rather than something that is part of their collective memory) is to physically verify the information given. 1 In a series of books, medium Jane Roberts channeled an entity named 'Seth' on the topic of reincarnation. Seth believes that Time and Space are basically illusions. Consistent with this view, Seth argues that only parts of each person's soul incarnate in any specific reality as man is a multidimensional entity simultaneously experiencing in many contexts. Many books, documentaries, and films have been created dealing with reincarnation allowing the average person to believe we have more than one life, one experience, and there is more out there than just this physical reality. As science and science-fiction merge, topics like the Multiverse allow us to understand the multidimensional nature of our experiences. It's 2015 and with that comes a knowing that this is the reality that must be addressed and healed. That reincarnation (or the journey of the soul in linear time) plays a part in the return to awareness. Some call this a rebirth of consciousness. We are beings of light who experience in the physical and are about to return to light. At that point, all will be understood. 2 Reincarnation is the Journey of Soul through its DNA In the Cycles of Time and ... Karma 3 Souls experience in and out of the grids simultaneously. When you wake up, your dreams or other lives continue. Children and Past Lives "Psychologist Says Children With Past-Life Memories Exhibit PTSD Symptoms" Epoch Times - December 1, 2014 4 Children who report memories of violent deaths in past lives may suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) according to psychologist Dr. Erlendur Haraldsson, Professor Emeritus at the University of Iceland in Reykjavik. From the ages of 2 to 6, children are more likely to talk about being someone else. Often someone who experienced trauma (e.g., a soldier who died in the line of fire, a pilot who crashed, a murder victim). After the age of 6, they often lose interest or even forget what they had previously said. The memories (whether really from a past life or imagined) can have a negative psychological impact on the child. Some become emphatic and distressed about having left their other family or home and wanting to return. Some have debilitating phobias seemingly related to the traumatic death that they remember. Some are haunted by the traumas of their purported past lives in flashbacks or nightmares.

Some people remember foreign languages and things they could not have possibly known without doing research. Polyglossy or Xenoglossy is the putative phenomenon in which a person is able to speak a language that he or she could not have acquired by natural means. This often goes along with reincarnation theories. It is fascinating to see children recount information from other places and timelines even at the youngest ages. One client told me that he could play blackjack like a pro since childhood without ever learning anything about the game or watching it being played. He simply said that he remembered playing it in a place which he could not initially name because his memories were vague. He also spoke of WW II and being a pilot when he played cards in a faraway country whose language was also familiar to him at times. He complained of chest pains from a very young age (though not ill) and later through a past life regression as an adult discovered his former name and that he had been shot and killed in the war. Which takes us here ... Research indicates that a person's previous incarnations can apparently shape certain aspects of their emotional dispositions as well as their physical body. For example, Burmese children who now remember previous lifetimes as British or American air force pilots shot down over Burma during World War II. All of them have fairer hair and complexions than their darker colored siblings. Some people still bear marks or scares from other lifetimes. Some people have fears and phobias as results of past life experiences. It is as if the template of the modern body remembered the experiences of the former body and reformed a new body with the old problems and physical markings. The famous English biologist Thomas Huxley thought that reincarnation was a plausible idea and discussed it in his book Evolution and Ethics and other Essays. The most detailed collections of personal reports in favor of reincarnation have been published by Professor Ian Stevenson from the University of Virginia in books such as Twenty Cases Suggestive of Reincarnation. Stevenson spent over 40 years devoted to the study of children who have apparently spoken about a past life. In each case, Professor Stevenson methodically documented the child's statements. Then he identified the deceased person the child allegedly identified with and verified the facts of the deceased person's life that matched the child's memory. He also matched birthmarks and birth defects to wounds and scars on the deceased, verified by medical records such as autopsy photographs. 6 In a fairly typical case, a boy in Beirut spoke of being a 25-year-old mechanic thrown to his death from a speeding car on a beach road. According to multiple witnesses, the boy provided the name of the driver, the exact location of the crash, the names of the mechanic's sisters and parents and cousins, and the people he went hunting with. All of which turned out to match the life of a man who had died several years before the boy was born and who had no apparent connection to the boy's family. Stevenson believed that his strict methods ruled out all possible "normal" explanations for the child's memories. However, it should be noted that a significant majority of Professor Stevenson's reported cases of reincarnation originate in Eastern societies where dominant religions often permit the concept of reincarnation. There are many people who have investigated reincarnation and came to the conclusion that it is a legitimate phenomenon such as Peter Ramster, Dr. Brian Weiss, Dr. Walter Semkiw, and others. But their work is generally ignored by the scientific community. Professor Stevenson, in contrast, published dozens of papers in peer-reviewed journals. The most obvious objection to reincarnation is that there is no evidence of a physical process by which a personality could survive death and travel to another body. Researchers such as Professor Stevenson recognize this limitation. Another fundamental objection is that most people simply do not remember previous lives, although it could be argued that only some, but not all, people reincarnate. Certainly the vast majority of cases investigated at the University of Virginia involved people who had met some sort of violent or untimely death. Some skeptics explain that claims of evidence for reincarnation originate from selective thinking and the psychological phenomena of false memories that often result from one's own belief system and basic fears and thus cannot be counted as empirical evidence. More research on the subject is needed. Seeing Yourself as a Famous Person Some people see themselves transforming into other characters in recorded history or as extreme as entities from other worlds and non-recorded history. The possibilities are endless. Sometimes people 7 do not see themselves as they were/are in another experience but tap into the collective unconsciousness and view Life through the eyes of someone else. This is not difficult as Reality is nothing more than conscious experience. When you see yourself as someone famous in a past life, it is possible that you are playing that role in a parallel reality.
