Reincarnation – what it is and what is the evidence for its existence

Reincarnation is the belief that after death a person’s soul will be reborn in another body. This process can occur many times and has been known for centuries in various spiritual traditions. A lot of people believe in reincarnation because it gives them hope that after death they will continue their path, constantly developing and returning to subsequent lives in a new form.

Reincarnation known for centuries

Reincarnation, that is, the belief that the soul lives after death and is reborn in another body, has been present in many, even unknown cultures for centuries. Some people believe that they have memories of past lives or can sense connections with other souls from different eras. There are a multitude of stories from around the world about people who claim to remember past lives or have vivid dreams of past lives.

Skeptical psychologists

Some psychologists believe that these memories may be related to traumatic experiences from early childhood that recur later in life due to unresolved problems rather than actual memories from past lives.

Skeptics claim that there is no scientific evidence to support reincarnation, but this is not true. One of the research methods is hypnosis therapy developed by Dr. Michael Newton.

Research by Dr. Michael Newton

Dr. Michael Newton pioneered the study of past life regression through hypnosis therapy. In his book “Journey Of Souls: Case Studies Of Life Between Lives” shares over 30 years of research on thousands of cases of hypnotic regression between lives. In this book, as well as in subsequent books, there are some interviews with clients who have experienced memories of their states “between lives”. These are states in which souls could rest and prepare for rebirth in new bodies on Earth. In his research, Dr. Newton found astonishing parallels in the accounts of people under hypnosis who had experienced multiple lives. These were common aspects such as talents, physical characteristics, and even relationships that transcended periods or geographic locations.

While skeptics may object to his findings, many find truth in Dr. Newton’s research on reincarnation because it explains certain feelings we experience throughout our lives – such as déja vu or a strong attraction to certain places we don’t know from this lifetime. This cannot be so easily explained by traditional science alone.

Nothing is a coincidence

Dr. Newton’s work opened up opportunities to understand how our current experiences are related to events that occurred a long time ago but are still present in us today. This offers hope that there is an explanation for why we feel attracted to certain people or situations. At the same time, it shows the meaning of life, because we are dealing with work on unresolved issues from previous lives. In addition, each subsequent incarnation develops us and makes us stronger, wiser. Definitely one of the most encouraging information seems to be that we have around us the support of a group of souls and a spiritual guide. So we have constant care, and although we suffer from loneliness, in practice we are not alone. It happens as we planned it for ourselves before. Dr. Newton’s research serves as a direction for those seeking answers to questions related to spiritual journeys.

Reincarnation in books

Reincarnation is a topic for many authors and filmmakers who, through their work, explore topics such as karma and destiny. An example is the book “Life After Life” – Raymond Moody, which explores near-death experiences, while the film “The Reincarnation of Peter Proud” (1975) tells stories about individuals discovering their former identities through supernatural means.
