Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are

imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

A boxed set containing a hard cover book and 61 full-colour cards
depicting diverse historical periods, occupations, cultures and
manner of termination, all designed to provoke "far memories" of
both past and future incarnations. The book gives detailed
instructions on how the cards are to be used to recall such far
memories by following a carefully designed system embedded within
this set, for which patents are pending. The chapter, "The
Evidence" presents solid scientific, physical and anecdotal
evidence for reincarnation. A summary of quantum physics
breakthroughs and their relevance to understanding this phenomenon
includes quotes from such respected scientists as Planck, Einstein,
Schrodinger and de Broglie. This approach provides a fresh look at
the stunning implications of quantum physics for understanding the
true nature of time, space, consciousness and the paranormal. By
presenting a philosophical framework to bring greater clarity and
understanding of reincarnational experiences, the authors enable
readers independently to gain an insight into who they really are
and their purpose in the universe. The set has been called
"something new under the sun" by author-lecturer John Anthony West,
originator of the "Age of the Sphinx" controversy, and a "stunning,
consciousness-expanding work" by the renowned transpersonal
psychologist and educator, Dr Stanley Krippner, in his Foreword to
the book. Suitable for readers and researchers of any age or
background, it is an ideal gift for anyone of an enquiring mind
that is open to a message that is far older than the pyramids, yet
as new as tomorrow.
