Hypnotic Regression
We are not human-beings having
a spiritual experience, but we are spiritual-beings having a human
experience
REINCARNATION:
The Egyptians believed in reincarnation

Hypnosis can be defined as a method of inducing an
altered state of consciousness, which causes a person to become very
receptive to the hypnotist’s suggestions.
Hypnotic regression started to be used as a
"past lives recall" method in 1952, when Ruth Simmons from Colorado,
USA, was regressed "back in time" beyond the date of her birth. Suddenly
she started to talk using a specific Irish accent, claiming that her
name was Bridey Murphy and she lived in Ireland in the year 1890. Her
brief descriptions seemed to describe properly the Irish society of the
late 19th century.
Hypnosis has been used for decades as a tool for
trying to discover past life memories. Even though it has been studied for
at least 150 years. The effect of hypnosis is to put the subject into a
trance state where they essentially put themselves under the
practitioner's instruction. The main advantage with this method for
gleaning distant memories is that the subject's mind can be focused
extremely sharply under trance, to the extent that the mind can be made
oblivious to sensations of pain in the body.
The criteria in establishing the veracity of "past
life recall" is our trust in the hypnotist and his "past life recall"
interpretation. There is no other way of relating the scenario of a past
life to one’s actual person.
"Souls
never die but always on quitting one abode pass to another... All things
change, nothing perishes. The soul passes hither and thither, occupying
now this body, now that, passing from the body of a beast into that of a
man, and then into a beast's again. As a wax is stamped with certain
figures, then melted, then stamped anew with others, yet it is always
the same wax, so the soul, being always the same, yet wears at different
times, different forms."
- Pythagoras, to his disciples,
according to Ovid
