Reincarnation is the religious concept that Buddhists, followers of Hinduism and a number of tribes believe in. However, there are more and more believers coming forth in the Western World. Some liken the concept to the death on the Cross and Jesus rising from the dead on the third day. Spiritually, they are equally believable.
Most Christians, Jews and followers of Islam reject the concept. However, there are sects within those religions that embrace the idea of reincarnation. The Kaballah, an offshoot of Judaism, is one example of a sect that accepts it.
There was a Madison, Wisconsin housewife who, under hypnosis, regressed to a previous life as a child in Ireland. She repeated details of that previous life. It was lived in Ireland 59 years before the Madison woman was born. She related incidents from that life and even spoke using an Irish dialect, which the housewife would have had no knowledge of.
As the hypnotist took the middle class housewife into a regression that occurred prior to her birth in Wisconsin, she spoke to him in the guise of Bridey Murphy, who lived in 19th century Ireland. Morey Bernstein, the man who put her under hypnosis, claimed she revealed memories of that past life that correlated to later research into the life of Bridey Murphy.
There are many children who tell their parents about memories of another life without provocation. A researcher, Dr. Ian Stevenson interviewed over 3000 of these children. Following the same stringent protocol, he investigated all the information.
He collected information that was reported by the child. The second was finding out the factual information about the deceased individual alleged to be the predecessor. Finally, he carefully matched them. Birthmarks were verified by checking medical records of both children.
His purely scientific verifications ruled out other explanations. He investigated cases of children from many countries. There are 3000 cases he has verified. The data supports this concept as factual.
Dr. Stevenson is a reputable physician with irrefutable credentials. He is a licensed psychiatrist who worked in that capacity at the University of Virginia, in two different high level positions. He has written on professional topics other than the supernatural.
The tenets of Buddhism are somewhat different. They hold that no eternal soul exists. Instead there is a stream of consciousness. Following the death of an individual, he will be reborn. The various branches of the religion posit there are somewhere between five and ten realms of existence.
The traditional Buddhists think there are ten. Classification at the bottom is the depraved man. Each new rebirth advances the good person one link up the ladder. When he reaches the tenth level, he is considered to be a Buddha.
Reincarnation, backed up by facts or alluded to by religious beliefs, is something each person will choose to accept or decline the truth of. For those who do not want to think life ends with death, it is an attractive concept. Those who believe cannot be shaken and those who do not cannot be dissuaded from their denial.
