Can anyone speak a language he or she has not learned normally,
in childhood or later? Claims to have accomplished this are made
from time to time, but only rarely do they receive support when
carefully examines. In this volume Dr. Stevenson presents detailed
reports of two cases taht seem authentic.
Authentic instances of speaking a language that has not been
learned normally (responsive xenoglossy) suggest that another
personality (perhaps one of a previous life) had learned the
langauge. Cases of responsive xenoglossy thus add to the evidence
concerning the survival of human personality after death.
From life to death and back, one man tells his tale. By relating
one man's amazing tale of triumph over death on multiple occasions,
this book brings a fresh perspective to near death experience
literature. David Bennett, once a brash young commercial diver
whose personal philosophy was "cut your way through life to
survive," was caught in a violent storm off the California coast
one night where he drowned. While technically "dead," he met beings
of light, relived his life, and peeked into his future, resulting
in a complete paradigm shift for him. Later, he discovered he had
stage IV lung and bone cancer-so advanced that his spine collapsed.
Miraculously, he survived once again, and this second close call
taught him even more about living, loving, and how to find purpose
in his life. Voyage of Purpose brings readers right into the heart
of the near-death experience, including the sensations of dying,
being surrounded by the light, and meeting the Soul Family. Part
memoir and part guide for achieving spiritual growth, this book
shows how to integrate the most traumatic of incidents into one's
spiritual path in order to live a more meaningful life.
Taking a new look at love, karma, and relationships, this book
argues that the quest for love--and for that perfect partner--is
really a quest for wholeness. Readers learn about soul mates, twin
flames, and karmic partners, and come to understand why they are
attracted to certain people.

Why is belief in an afterlife so persistent across times and
cultures? And how can it coexist with disbelief in an afterlife?
Most modern thinkers hold that afterlife belief serves such
important psychological and social purposes as consoling survivors,
enforcing morality, dispensing justice, or giving life meaning. Yet
the earliest, and some more recent, afterlives strikingly fail to
satisfy those needs. In Inventing Afterlives, Regina M. Janes
proposes a new theory of the origins of the hereafter rooted in the
question that a dead body raises: where has the life gone? Humans
then and now, in communities and as individuals, ponder what they
would want or experience were they in that body. From this
endlessly recurring situation, afterlife narratives develop in all
their complexity, variety, and ingenuity. Exploring afterlives from
Egypt to Sumer, among Jews, Greeks, and Romans, to Christianity's
advent and Islam's rise, Janes reveals how little concern ancient
afterlives had with morality. In south and east Asia, karmic
rebirth makes morality self-enforcing and raises a new problem: how
to stop re-dying. The British enlightenment, Janes argues, invented
the now widespread wish-fulfilling afterlife and illustrates how
afterlives change. She also considers the surprising afterlife of
afterlives among modern artists and writers who no longer believe
in worlds beyond this one. Drawing on a variety of religious
traditions; contemporary literature and film; primatology;
cognitive science; and evolutionary psychology, Janes shows that in
asking what happens after we die, we define the worlds we inhabit
and the values by which we live.
The primary contention of this book is that, as a spiritual being,
each of us lives beyond death, and eventually returns to earth in a
new human body. With this knowledge in mind, the authors give much
sound practical advice as to how parents, and others who spend time
with children, can welcome a soul to the world and help it grow
into a healthy and responsible human being. Mainstream educational
policies and practises can result in children being pushed
prematurely towards adulthood, before having had a chance truly to
experience childhood. As the authors demonstrate, an understanding
of the nature of the human being as comprising body, soul and
spirit leads to the conclusion that every child should be allowed
to grow slowly into the world. 'One of the main purposes of this
book', write the authors, 'is to demonstrate that human beings are
primarily of spiritual nature, and only secondarily of bodily
nature'. They explain how these two natures complement each other
in the processes of maturation and development from the period
before birth, or incarnation, to maturity. As well as a firm
philosophical grounding, Your Reincarnating Child discusses
critical questions surrounding the pre- and antenatal periods,
including issues connected to clothing, food, play, work,
technology, discipline, and much more.
This is a collection of compelling, true stories of after-death
communication from the experiences of psychic medium Carole J.
Obley. These inspiring examples open our hearts and minds by
convincingly demonstrating how contact with the spirit world can be
a catalyst in healing grief. We are uplifted and comforted by
realizing that the challenges we face in life can be positively
transformed by the magnificent strength of undying love.

'A remarkable and deeply moving book' Henry Marsh, bestselling
author of Do No Harm 'A breathtaking, extraordinary work of
non-fiction' Times Literary Supplement On 11 March 2011, a massive
earthquake sent a 120-foot-high tsunami smashing into the coast of
north-east Japan. It was Japan's greatest single loss of life since
the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. Richard Lloyd Parry, an
award-winning foreign correspondent, lived through the earthquake
in Tokyo, and spent six years reporting from the epicentre.
Learning about the lives of those affected through their own
personal accounts, he paints a rich picture of the impact the
tsunami had on day to day Japanese life. Heart-breaking and
hopeful, this intimate account of a tragedy unveils the unique
nuances of Japanese culture, the tsunami's impact on Japan's
stunning and majestic landscape and the psychology of its people.
Ghosts of the Tsunami is an award-winning classic of literary
non-fiction. It tells the moving, evocative story of how a nation
faced an unimaginable catastrophe and rebuilt to look towards the
future. **WINNER OF THE RATHBONES FOLIO PRIZE**
