Hi everybody,
Sharyn, thanks so much for posting that article - it was a great read. I've been anxious to post to this thread, but I wanted to finish reading that 1st, and it was well worth it.
I've long believed in reincarnation, just because the concept felt right. Then as I became acquainted with Abrahams teachings a few years ago, their revelations about non-physical and that there is no "death" as our culture perceives it, also felt true to me. It feels almost surreal to read that scientists discount the evidence of 2,500 case studies.
Another point that fascinated me was the part about children ending this recall of past lives when they reach a certain age in later childhood. I read an article a while back that created a huge "AHA!" for me, and it's here:
Hypnotic Language: Solutions in a Word . The title is almost misleading as the main area of interest for me was quotes from Jean Piaget's research on cognition in children. For me, it all explained why my mother (and so many others of the same generation), who had grown up in the depression, passed on their beliefs in shortage and lack. But I digress...
Here is a quote from the article above that relates to the children's past life memories ending:
Quote:

The most general finding of Piaget's is that children gradually move from foveal awareness to an expanded, peripheral awareness. Children spend the first seven years of their life in a perpetual trance. This seven-year trance makes learning machines of children. But it also sets the stage for some rather unusual and unfounded beliefs about self, others and life. Once reaching the age of around seven this trance-state becomes voluntary. But other cognitive limitations continue on until about age eleven. Eventually children after age eleven gain the ability to simultaneously consider multiple issues on multiple levels.

I appreciated Moria's description of the sore throat issue and her past life discovery. I discussed something similar in the thread about Grace's CEM healing, and the revelation has served me well. I would still love to find a hypnotist to do a past life regression for me, and that will come, I'm sure.
I've recently read 2 books by Dr. Michael Newton,
Destiny of Souls and
Journey of Souls, and I suspect that those interested in the subject matter of this thread would
LOVE his work. He is a hypnotist who started doing past-life regressions, but then found that his clients were recalling soul memories between lives (much like the discussions in the topic artical about NDEs, etc.) - so he began to focus there. His books present case studies of these sessions and compile a general sense of what happens to our souls... they have further enhanced my appreciation of this life and my moving way beyond fear when considering physical death of our bodies.
I'd love to hear more on this topic. Great thread, Sharyn, thanks again!
Love,
Joy
