Remembering Past Lives

By Carl Llewellyn Weschcke and Joe H. Slate

Do you believe in reincarnation?

For a growing number of people, reincarnation is a sensible philosophical understanding that is seen in many metaphysical, spiritual, and psychological practices—and even experienced in actual personal past-life memories. The proof is in the experience.

With the straightforward guidance in this small e-book, you can recall your own past lives. In doing so, you can resolve residual conflicts in your current life, improve your health, regain lost knowledge and skills, and develop a more comprehensive understanding of what your life is really all about.

What is the prevailing belief today? A 2009 study by the Pew Forum reports that 24% of Americans overall, and 22% of Christians and 28% of Catholics say they believe in reincarnation. However, AllAboutSpirituality.org reported in May 2011 that nearly 60% of Americans believe reincarnation is possible. It’s important to realize that reincarnation is not necessarily a religious belief.

You have lived before, you will live again, and you will continue to grow into the greater being that you are meant to be. Remembering Past Lives will help you awaken to the incredible journey of spiritual growth and psychic empowerment that opens before you now.

Do you believe in Reincarnation?

If no—Why Not?

Let’s discuss this a bit so we understand what we’re talking about.

Yes, talking, because even though we’re not actually meeting face to face—this is a book after all—we’re going to make this as much a two-sided conversation as possible by explaining what serious believers do mean about living many previous lives.

First of all, this is not an academic book, so you are not going to see footnotes, detailed references, and a load of statistics. You can get all that you may want in other books (see the last page for some suggestions) but here we only want to introduce you to the subject, what it really involves, answer a few fundamental questions, and then give you the basic means to remember your own previous lives.

Just to put a few things in context: a substantial percentage of the world’s population does believe in reincarnation, while a December 9, 2009 study by the Pew Forum reports that 24 percent of Americans overall and 22 percent of Christians and 28 percent of Catholics say they believe in reincarnation. And, generally, the higher the educational level, the greater the percentage. (Note: the Catholic Church forbids belief in reincarnation, just as do many of the more fundamentalist Christian, Jewish, and Islamic religions.)

Yes, it is generally accepted in major world religions including Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism, Taoism, and most modern Neo-Pagan and African Traditionalist religions, as well as earlier shamanic and mystical traditions, the ancient religious and philosophical systems of Tibet, Egypt, Greece, the Mayans, Aztecs and
