Overview
Throughout history, humankind has been fascinated by the concept of wandering souls and disembodied entities we might communicate with, as well as those that might influence us. We have especially been captivated by the possible survival of our own spirits or souls (our Consciousness) beyond the death of the body, and numerous religions and billions of people have a belief in reincarnation -- the rebirth of the soul.
This book, first published in 1993 and out of print for over 15 years, takes a look at the scientific and cultural evidence for and beliefs in several forms transmigration of the soul: reincarnation (rebirth), channeling (communication), and possession (by spirits and other entities), from the view of a well-known parapsychologist, his colleagues and his predecessors.
What enables two-year-old children to spontaneously talk about previous lives, sometimes with enough detail to track down that past-life individual?
Is a murderer who claims possession by a demon telling the truth?
Do extra-terrestials, beings from other dimensions, ancient Atlanteans, and even dolphins actually speak through channelers?
What scientific evidence exists for reincarnation?
Where might possessing spirits come from? How do we get rid of them (if they're really here)?
Can the experiences of the reincarnated, the channelers, and the possessed be of any help in the real world?
Loyd Auerbach attacks these and many other questions, providing evidence for and against these phenomenal experiences with honesty and in terms even the novice might understand...with a little humor added to boot!
Explore these subjects with a real parapsychologist (not one of the TV ghost hunters!)...Keep an open mind. This book will raise as many questions as it may answer, and what will read in this book may challenge some of your most cherished beliefs.
"Brilliant! The single most definitive work on the subject...your life will be changed from reading this book--and changed for the better."
Martin Caidin (1993), author of GHOSTS OF THE AIR and creator of "The Six Million Dollar Man."
"A THOUGHTFUL AND CHALLENGING EXPLORATION of some of the more provocotive questions confronting contemporary parapsychology. In the tradition of the late D. Scott Rogo, Loyd Auerbach steps in where more timid researchers fear to tread, without losing his sense of humor or his perspective. Stimulating reading for anyone seeking fresh insights into these controversial subjects."
Keith Harary, Ph.D. (1993), Research Director, Institute for Advanced Psychology, and co-author of HAVE AN OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE IN 30 DAYS.
"AN EXCELLENT BOOK for those interested in learning about the state of the art (and science) surrounding some fascinating areas of the human mind. Loyd Auerbach brings a rare blend of good humor and common sense, as well as informed scholarship, to a subject usually presented with either hype or derision."
Marcello Truzzi, Ph.D. (1993), Director, Center for Scientific Anomalies Research, and co-author of THE BLUE SENSE.
