Contained within these covers are nine love stories--spanning 1100 years and stretching from the canyons and mesas of prehistoric North America to the snowy peaks of the Himalayas, from the Serengeti plains of Africa to the inner confines of a sultan's harem, from the Adirondack lakes of the British colonies to the law courts of Victorian London, and finally to the hospital halls of Ohio. What weaves these tales together is something stronger than death and lasting longer than time as we know it. Beyond the sweeping romance and soul-baring emotional intrigue, Weber delivers nine well-researched historical studies of what it was like to live in those widely varying cultures during vastly different times...and what can happen when you continue to open your heart to love.

This popular examination of research into children's reports of past-life memories describes a collection of 2,500 cases at the University of Virginia that investigators have carefully studied since Dr. Ian Stevenson began the work more than forty years ago. The children usually begin talking about a past life at the age of two or three and may talk about a previous family or the way they died in a previous life. Their statements have often been found to be accurate for one particular deceased individual, and some children have recognized members of the previous family. A number have also had birthmarks or defects that matched wounds on the body of the deceased person.

"Life Before Life" presents the cases in a straightforward way and explores the possibility that consciousness may continue after the brain dies. It is a provocative and fascinating book that can challenge and ultimately change readers' understandings about life and death.

The book's primary aim was to present the children's stories in a neutral, non-judgemental way and let the reader decide. The original idea came to co-author Mary Harrison when she observed her youngest son, Christopher, trying to pick flowers from a floral pattern on her bed cover. The little baby's actions seemed so quirky and amusing that Mary was prompted to have a letter published in Woman's Own. Mary asked if other mothers had experienced similar 'odd' moments with their little ones. She was completely unprepared for the replies she got - Mary was overwhelmed with letters from parents reporting accounts of reincarnation. It was the key word From this 'PAST LIVES: Children Time Forgot' was born. Baby Christopher Leon is now an academic writer in Florida, USA and is married with two wonderful sons. Mary sadly passed away in 2002.

Each soul's journey through life on planet earth is an ultimate adventure. The greater picture of the billions of lives and these stories are a cosmic phenomenon we can never comprehend in this life. But along with our God-given intuition and creative power, we can imagine. And in all our lives, we learn at one point or another that there is inner guidance available for us if we merely tune in. I told someone that I had written a book about reincarnation. She asked, "Is it fiction?" And the only answer I could find for her was, "That's a good question." I have written books, short stories, essays, articles, songs, poems and countless scripts and comedy routines. The Lives of Carl Atman is a book that I have been wanting to write for years, maybe for lifetimes. I was inspired by the observable cycles of life that ebb and flow all around us throughout our lives and I felt compelled to write this story. My hope above all else, is that you enjoy the journey.

From the time she was a young girl, Kathy Gibbons has had memories of a life before this one-one in which she had already been a big woman and undergone a lifetime of tragic events. As many adults do, she eventually pushed these thoughts to the back of her mind, cast away as figments of a childish imagination. When she was thirty-six, however, the memories came flooding back, emerging into her consciousness with the help of a past-life regression therapist. After seeking help for a series of obstacles in her personal life and career, Gibbons soon learned that Maria, her previous self, was as real as she had seemed in those childhood past life memories-and that through understanding Maria's story from the past, she finally would be able to transform her present. This amazing story is a first- hand account of how Gibbons came to discover her past lives and how each played an important role in overcoming present-day obstacles. From Max, the misunderstood French visionary, to Marcus, a fun-loving Irish monk, readers will learn the mystifying true stories behind each of the author's previous incarnations and hopefully become inspired to discover a few of their own.

Reincarnation is returning to biblical study. This renewed interest has come about, in part, because of the unique research seen in works such as this. You'll see incorporated here, the latest of leading edge scientific, historical data, and the timeless wisdom of the world's finest theological and philosophical minds. These combined wisdoms impart the continuing reassurance that we not only survive death, but that - despite the seeming contradictions - we live our daily lives in a cause and effect world of reason, purpose, free will, and most importantly, "Divine compassion." This insight will readily present itself in realizing that our present realities are more often the result of past-life acts, rather than chance factors of genetics, environment, or capricious deities. Written with the precision of a fine college text, the author's warm probing insight and common sense approach can make for a very "reader friendly" and even life changing experience for scholars, sincere seekers, and the general reader.

For the thousands of people who loved "To Heaven and Back," "Heaven is for Real," and "Proof of Heaven,"
a warm and detailed account of life between lives--and our lives to come
What happens when someone dies? What does it feel like? What exactly is the light at the end of the tunnel? Is reincarnation real? And if so, do spirits have any influence over their lives to come?

There is a tremendous shift in our consciousness on this planet. We are a nation of seekers, yearning to understand more and more of who we are and what our purpose is. Many of us have undergone one or more forms of psychological therapy to solve life's problems and find answers to our probing and sometimes life-long questions. Yet most of us feel something is still missing, and there are many answers we are desperately seeking. Why do we seem to repeat patterns in relationships and other areas of our lives? Why do we have such unworthy feelings or suffer from chronic depression? Why did we need to endure the loss of a child or have to suffer from an abusive husband? It is my belief, shared by others, that we will choose a life script before we come into this life, in our spiritual body, void of emotions, that will create a journey sometimes filled with trauma or difficult obstacles to push us into changing or learning our lesson. We would never choose these traumas or scripts in our physical and emotional bodies that we inhabit in this life, but on the spirit side we know what we need to karmically go through due to our past lives, and the people we need to go through it with, to grow and evolve. There is no judgment around the script; it is only there for our lessons. It is not only traumas and negativity that helps us grow but the one core lesson of love and forgiveness for self and others. Footsteps Through the Sands of Time: Past-Life Dramas-Present-Life Lessons is the first book to offer answers to our deepest questions through a compelling compilation of stories based on individual and factually verified regressions. Unlike other past-life books, Footsteps Through the Sands of Time: Past-Life Dramas-Present-Life Lessons breaks through the veil of secrecy by sharing the clients' most personal histories and intentions and is formatted like a private session with the therapist. Each story is centered on one session, covering a theme common and relatable to anyone. While the names of the clients and certain data have been changed, readers will get to see a rare and intimate view of a therapist's outline and interaction with the clients' regression from beginning to end. Culled from a database of more than four thousand clients, each story offers truth, insight, and enlightenment. The puzzle pieces these clients have discovered answer burning questions about their present-life dramas, questions the readers will identify with, seeing themselves in these stories and benefiting from the awareness, understanding, and connection the core lessons reveal.

Where has science and faith gone wrong? What has brought us to religious and scientific conflict? Why has one faith or another taken on the role of fanatically converting the earth's population and at what expense? When we die, what can we expect from a scientific view as opposed to a faith-based view of eternity? Can the two be reconciled? What are our spiritual responsibilities, as we evolve individually and as a species?
These are humongous questions which are addressed in a very word-economic way. Cutting to the chase, through eons, we will explore man's growth from the cave to the Ritz Carlton. Barry Wachs, Ph.D. attempts to lay a sound foundation for an entirely new paradigm for life after death. A paradigm that will not destroy or alter your faith or the way you worship or connect to God or a higher power, but rather give you a sound science-based theory that will support your doctrines and beliefs as long as they do no harm to others. A paradigm that can guide you to a new understanding of eternity.

Book One answers many questions about the universe and how it works. Book Two consists of actual soul readings traced from the time they were birthed by the Godhead to the time the souls made the decision to come to Earth. This ground breaking research is taken from soul readings by Athor, one member of the Council of Twelve on the etheric plane of the star system of Sirius. These readings suggest that there is no conflict between evolution and creationism. This is not Darwinian evolution but the very long journey of the soul inhabiting many forms before coming to Earth. This is a fascinating read which gives much credence to Star Wars and other science fiction sagas except this is NOT fiction. This is Dr. Fuqua's third book based on her extensive work with Athor.

Laurie Shanti Pippenger announced her name in utero and a fascinating life path followed. Here are true stories of compassion and wisdom as translated through the experiences of a Down syndrome girl who is purported to be a reincarnated master and teacher of healing. I believe that Laurie chose a life in a Down syndrome mosaic body to demonstrate that magic can happen in a body and mind of less than perfect material. As soon as I was over that shock that a strong willed embryo had announced her name to me and I accepted the out-of-wedlock pregnancy (unfortunately with a married spiritual teacher), I knew I was in for an intriguing journey with a masterful being. It has been both a heart opening and a heart breaking adventure to raise her in three countries. These are the best loved stories of Laurie healing/influencing/teaching her public, her struggle to know her father and my spiritual journal. Ruthann Pippenger, author.

Author and Reiki master Janet Hoffman Cenzano knows that everything is connected, and everything happens for a reason. Plagued by strong flashbacks of moments that didn t exist in her current life, Cenzano was determined to learn the meaning behind her experience. Her search for answers led her to question the origin of her soul. Cenzano uncovered the answers to her questions through past life regression therapy, embarking on a revealing journey of self-discovery.

In this engaging narrative, Cenzano shares the discoveries of her past lives and how they pertain to her current life in vivid detail. Her experience with past life regression revealed not only the meaning behind her flashbacks and moments of deja vu, but also made clear to her the timeless soul connection between herself and Donnie, her high school sweetheart.

Cenzano was able to tap into her intuitive self and alternative therapies which led her to unlock the mysteries of her soul. She hopes her inspiring story will encourage others to tap into their own inner wisdom so they can access soul connections in their lives, both past and present.

Vedanta is one of the world's most ancient religious philosophies and one of its broadest. Based on the Vedas, the sacred scriptures of India, Vedanta affirms the oneness of existence, the divinity of the soul, and the harmony of religions. Vedanta is the philosophical foundation of Hinduism; but while Hinduism includes aspects of Indian culture, Vedanta is universal in its application and is equally relevant to all countries, all cultures, and all religious backgrounds. In Five Lectures on Reincarnation Swami Abhedananda discusses the topics; Reincarnation, Heredity and Reincarnation, Evolution and Reincarnation, Theory of Transmigration and more. Swami Abhedananda, born Kaliprasad Chandra, was a direct disciple of the 19th century mystic Ramakrishna Paramahansa and the founder of Ramakrishna Vedanta Math. Swami Vivekananda sent him to the West to head the Vedanta Society, New York and spread the message of Vedanta, a theme on which he authored several books through his life, and subsequently founded the Ramakrishna Vedanta Math, in Calcutta (now Kolkata) and Darjeeling.

Charles, a very young Southern child, tells his sister that he really should have been named Andrew. Decades later, an important early teacher of A Course in Miracles has a clairvoyant experience upon meeting Charles. He is startled to see a name emblazoned on Charles s forehead.... Andrew. Charles goes to London and a famous psychic tells him, You knew Jesus. He has extraordinary mystical experiences and dreams, including revelations about biblical distortions and some disciples in love with each other. Haunted by the idea that he has something important to accomplish in this life, and wondering if he may indeed have lived as the Apostle Andrew, he is guided to see Bruce Gregory for a brief series of hypnotic past-life regressions. Like a journalist sent back in time, Charles sees not only that he lived as Andrew, and that he and the Apostle Philip were lovers, but that Jesus blessed their union and, in effect, joined them in marriage. Understandably shaken, Charles Lehman utters a powerfully simple prayer, If it is to be, let it be. Shortly after, he begins to be awakened early each morning, at the time mystics say the veil between worlds is thinnest, to receive vivid memories in a flood of images, words, and emotions. These memories constitute the main text of The Book of Andrew, an astonishing Past-Life Memoir, Witness of a Gay Apostle.

This textbook is an edited transcript of a live online class presented by the Lorian Association. The objective of this book is that at the end, you will have an expanded and empowered view of yourself, of who you are as an incarnate person. To do this, this textbook examines both a set of ideas on the processes of incarnation and the application of those ideas into everyday life. This book further elucidates David Spangler's Incarnational Spirituality and has philosophical and cosmological components, but its ultimate intent is a practical one. The benefits will come from applying this wealth of information into your everyday life.
