Rudolf Steiner introduced detailed, scientific knowledge of reincarnation and karma to the West. He gave concrete descriptions of the metamorphoses of individuals in the course of successive incarnations and specific examples of the working of karma, as well as practical exercises for experiencing the reality of reincarnation. He believed that experiencing the reality of successive earth lives would form the basis for true spiritual knowledge of the relationship of human beings and the cosmos. These talks contain some of Steiner's most important teachings on reincarnation and karma. He gives examples and exercises that can lead to direct knowledge of the laws of reincarnation and karma. Included are: -- How to get direct perception of the part of our being that passes through many lives on earth -- How to develop a "feeling memory", which is necessary before direct experience of reincarnation is possible -- Thought exercises for gaining knowledge of reincarnation and karma -- Examples of the working of karma between two incarnations -- How knowledge of reincarnation and karma affects our moral life
Scattered throughout many kabbalistic and hasidic texts are
numerous teaching stories with reincarnation as their central
theme. Now, for the first time, you can read 70 of these
fascinating tales in a single volume, collected and retold by
master storyteller, Yonassan Gershom. The author begins with an
over-view of basic themes about the afterlife, such as the
judgement of souls before the Heavenly Court, the mystical
significance of the Covenant at Sinai, the process of tikkun olam
(repairing the universe), and some reasons why human beings return
to earth in new bodies. He then takes you on an exciting journey
through many centuries of Jewish tales, where you will meet dozens
of saints and sinners, animals and humans, angels and mortals all
attempting to work out their past-life karma through applying the
teachings of the Torah in earthly life. In order to make the
classical stories understandable to the modern reader, each tale
has been ex-panded to include clear explanations of cultural and
religious details. So skillfully does Gershom weave this material
into the narrative itself, that the reader scarcely notices how a
gentle form of education is taking place. By the time you have
finished the book, you will not only have been entertained, but
will have completed an excellent introduction to Jewish
spirituality as well. Both classical and contemporary tales are
included here, from sources as widely varied as kabbalistic texts,
folklore anthologies, and discussions on the Internet. Of special
interest are several new tales collected by the author himself,
which have never before appeared in print."

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.
Many people are looking for their soulmate and expect to be
blissfully happy when they find one. But, sadly, they seem doomed
to disappointment. Soulmates are both a powerful fact and one of
the biggest illusions of all time. This new book from the best
selling author of The Crystal Bible draws on Judy Hall's thirty
five years as a karmic counsellor examining karmic relationships in
general and soulmates in particular. It explains why meeting a
soulmate can be a soul-scouring experience and what the karmic
lessons and conundrums may be. Offering exercises and
visualisations to heal the past, it then introduces the
revolutionary new concept of twinflames: soulmates without the
karma.
This book is the result of seven years' research and several
thousand case histories through which the author has been able to
peer into the deep inner life of the soul as it reincarnates from
life to life, both as a guide and an observer. While studying
Evolutionary Astrology with Jeff Green, regression therapist
Patricia Walsh realised that the potent combination of the two
disciplines could help to resolve current issues which have their
roots in past life experiences. The types of issues that arise in
past life regressions to be healed are also the exact dynamics that
Evolutionary Astrology aims to describe: * To understand the past
security patterns, emotional and mental imprints that have
conditioned the consciousness previous to this life. * To point the
way to the path of evolution beyond these. Regression work adds to
the understanding of issues presented in the natal chart This book
is not written in a 'multiple choice' style. It will become
apparent that the understanding of previous lives is not such a
simple matter as a few keywords or thoughts relating to one or two
symbols in the chart. Rather, this book is written like a journey
through the archetypes, from the depths to the heights of each, and
is meant to be read in that way, sequentially from Aries to Pisces.
Once the elements of the karmic axis in a chart are understood, all
the related archetypes in this book can be read in relation to a
single chart and synthesized to give a whole picture.

After living through three very different near-death experiences,
Robert Kopecky discovered a remarkable fact about life and death:
You don t have to die to go to heaven. This book is about helping
you to engage with a paradise that is always present in your life.
It s about learning how to make choices that guide you to a place
of joy and fulfilment. It s about finding the proper doors (and
maybe a few shortcuts) that can lead you back to the paradise that
is your birth right. By cultivating perspective, presence, and
purpose, you will discover that going to heaven is about being
right where you are wherever that may be and waking up.
