<\/p>\nToday more than ever, parapsychology, which is the scientific study of telepathy, remote viewing, clairvoyance, reincarnation and much more, is receiving extreme amounts of credibility. Numerous studies and repeatable experiments have shown statistically significant results, and various findings within quantum mechanics have also demonstrated that consciousness\/matter interaction, also known as telekinesis, may very well be real.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On top of this we also have declassified literature from multiple countries that show parapsychological phenomena has been documented and demonstrated within human beings that poses \u201cspecial abilities.\u201d For example, this CIA document<\/a> shows how \u201cgifted children\u201d in China were able to \u201cteleport\u201d small objects from one location to another. Here\u2019s another<\/a> that documents the \u201cparanormal writing\u201d ability of a child. It\u2019s quite fascinating, and understandable why so many people just don\u2019t believe in this. It\u2019s truly paradigm shifting and has the potential to transform what we think we know about the nature of reality, forever.<\/p>\n Such discoveries and evidence have always been ridiculed and ignored by \u201cintellectual\u201d authorities simply because they don\u2019t fit within the framework of accepted knowledge. Furthermore, when it comes to this type of study, which is also known as non-material science, we need to go beyond the parameters of science. A lot of the phenomena documented and observed within these realms is simply not explained by science and our perception of what science is and has become. In a lot of ways, science limits us today and there are many examples where dogma has become labelled as \u201cscience<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n Did you know that Carl Sagan, the late astronomer, was a founding member of the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP)? He once wrote that:<\/p>\n \u201cThere are three claims in the (parapsychology) field which, in my opinion, deserve serious study, with the third being that young children sometimes report details of a previous life, which upon checking turn out to be accurate and which they could not have known about in any other way than reincarnation<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n He wrote this in 1996. More than two decades later, the number of examples and evidence suggesting that reincarnation is real is quite astonishing.<\/p>\n Serious scientific study of reincarnation has spanned the last several decades. There are many interesting cases of children remembering details they could not have obtained from anywhere else.<\/p>\n For example, a report<\/a> published in 2016 in the journal Explore<\/em> titled \u201cThe Case of James Leininger: An American Case of the Reincarnation Type<\/em>\u201d published by Jim B. Tucker, MD from the University of Virginia, explains:<\/p>\n \u201cNumerous cases of young children who report memories of previous lives have been studied over the last 50 years. Though such cases are more easily found in cultures that have a general belief in reincarnation, they occur in the West as well. This article describes the case of James Leininger, an American child who at age two began having intense nightmares of a plane crash. He then described being an American pilot who was killed when his plane was shot down by the Japanese. He gave details that included the name of an American aircraft carrier, the first and last name of a friend who was on the ship with him, and a location and other specifics about the fatal crash. His parents eventually discovered close correspondence between James\u2019s statements and the death of a World War II pilot named James Huston. Documentation of James\u2019s statements that was made before Huston was identified includes a television interview with his parents that never aired but which the author has been able to review<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n One day, James\u2019s father was looking through a book called The Battle for Iwo Jima 1945<\/em>. His father reports that James, at the age of two, pointed to a picture showing an aerial view of the base of the island, where Mt. Suribachi, a dormant volcano, sits, and said, \u201cThat\u2019s where my plane was shot down<\/em>.\u201d His father said, \u201cWhat?<\/em>\u201d and James responded, \u201cMy airplane got shot down there, daddy<\/em>.\u201d That\u2019s when it all started. This is one of many cases that are similar. In this case James demonstrated knowledge of events from 50 years before he was born. Many of his accurate statements were documented before the previous personality was identified.<\/p>\n \u201cOn August 27, 2000, when James was 28 months old, he told his parents he had flown his plane off a boat. When his parents asked him the name of the boat, he said, \u2018Natoma.\u2019 After that conversation, his father searched online for the word and eventually discovered a description of the USS Natoma Bay, an escort carrier stationed in the Pacific during World War II. He printed out the information he found, and the footer of the printout includes the date he did<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n If you want to read about more examples, here\u2019s an excellent paper<\/a> published in the Journal of Scientific Exploration<\/em> you can refer to. Here\u2019s another<\/a> from 2005.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve written about a reincarnation case in which a three-year old boy claimed to have remembered a past life. In this life, he remembered being struck by a big blow to the head with an axe, and having a long, red birthmark on his head.<\/p>\n The present-day boy, whose name remained confidential throughout the entire study, also had a birthmark in the exact same spot, which is interesting because multiple studies, like the one published in Explore<\/em>, point out how shared birthmarks are common to children who remember their past lives.<\/p>\n The boy\u2019s father and a number of other relatives in the village decided to visit neighbouring communities to see if his past life identity could be established and Dr. Lasch was invited to join. On this journey, they visited multiple villages until the boy remembered the right one. He remembered his own first and last name, as well as the first and last name of his murderer.<\/p>\n You can read more about this specific story here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Can \u201cConsciousness\u201d Survive Death? <\/strong><\/p>\n Reincarnation may not be \u201cthe\u201d answer as to what occurs when someone dies. Perhaps it\u2019s one out of many paths. I\u2019ve come across a lot of interesting information suggesting that we are more than just our body, and when we leave this physical plane our \u201csoul\u201d can take multiple routes, and reincarnation might be one of them if we have to come back and complete\/learn the lessons we were\/are supposed to while experiencing life on this planet. I\u2019ve also come across some interesting information that this is a choice before we are born, that we choose to incarnate here, that we exist before we are born.<\/p>\n These questions have been contemplated for thousands of years. In the Socratic dialogue Meno<\/em> by Plato, the character Socrates attempts to prove that life exists before birth. Instead of innate knowledge that we are simply born with knowledge that simply comes naturally to us, Plato relies on prenatal knowledge to explain our ability to solve problems in mathematics and philosophy, and suggests that we should have known the answers to these problems all along.<\/p>\n There are so many unanswerable questions.<\/p>\n Perhaps reincarnation is one path out of many, what about those who have learned what they came here to learn? Perhaps they came here for another reason and do not need to reincarnate? I\u2019m not sure what the other paths may be, perhaps an experience as another being on another planet? Perhaps as a life form that doesn\u2019t dwell within the physical realm? I don\u2019t know, but I could think of several possibilities.<\/p>\n The question of whether or not consciousness survives after death is at the forefront of many scientific circles. For example, neurosurgeon Dr. Eben Alexander says<\/a> that science shows that the brain does not control consciousness, that it\u2019s more of a receiver of it, a channel for consciousness to come in from somewhere else. He believes there is reason to believe our consciousness continues after death, and that a physical body is not required for consciousness to exist.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/yogaesoteric.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/2-18-300x171.jpg\")
