TO DETERMINE IF SCIENCE CAN PROVE REINCARNATION...
|
IF REINCARNATION IS
REAL, IT CAN EVENTUALLY BE PROVEN.
Belief in the phenomenon we call
reincarnation — a process where the core substance of an individual is
reborn in a future lifetime — has existed in all major historical
cultures. It has largely been rooted in dreams, hypnosis and psychic
clues. Recently, more objective evidence has included memories of events
or knowledge apparently based in the lives of deceased individuals. New
research suggests that physical and personality traits may be inherited
from the past.
REXP seeks to evaluate areas of empirical evidence suggesting
reincarnation and determine its reliability for identifying past-life
connections in individual cases. Truth in this area is an illusion, but it can be approached through use of 21st-century science's concepts and tools.

DEVELOPMENTS
I. Reincarnation Book on French Queen. Associate Marie-Alix Ravel's new book to be published in November in French as Le Present de Marie Antoinette (on November 2nd) and in English as Marie Antoinette's Present (on November 11th). Read further information here in English and French.
II. German WW-II Resistance Project. Is the soul of Claus von Stauffenberg — leader of the plan to assassinate Hitler in 1944 and planted the bomb that
almost killed him — now reincarnated in Germany?
Read the fascinating story
of how a subject identified himself and the evidence that places him in
the middle of a reincarnation debate in Germany. Associate Stefan Bauer
published a German book about the case.

Hear how the Reincarnation Experiment started, its purpose, and its hope for outcomes. |
More than half of
the world's people believe in reincarnation, and polls suggest at least
a quarter of U.S. citizens do. What is the basis of this belief? Is it rooted in delusions or wishful thinking? Or, is there a tangible basis for such ideas?
It is beyond the current tools of science to definitively prove the
general theory of reincarnation to a skeptical public.
Likewise, it is also beyond the tools of modern science to disprove it.
However, this project is designed to test whether empirical
evidence exists that can plausibly account for the apparent non-parental link involved in robust reincarnation cases. In other words, it challenges the assertion that all of the newborn's psychophysical inheritance can be completely accounted for by its immediate parental genomes.

SCIENCE CAN VALIDATE BELIEF BASED IN DIRECT OBSERVATIONS OF NATURE.
Early human and later aboriginal
societies based their beliefs in reincarnation on observations of their
contemporaries that revealed similarities with known people who had
lived and died before those being observed were born. Over several
generations, people collected many persuasive correspondences between
the present personalities and various ancestors that they posited some
carry-forward of legacies from the past. As an example, an African
tribe used the terms "babatunde" and "yetunde" to indicate the possible
reincarnations of boys and girls, respectively, from earlier
individuals two generations removed.
The cases described on this website and in the book The Soul Genome provide credible examples of such
observable data which cannot be more plausibly explained than by a
reincarnation hypothesis. We attempt to be as careful as the team who ultimately concluded two-year-old Lhamo Dhondup is the reincarnation of the 13th Dalai Lama. From a comparable secular approach, The Soul Genome's author's perspective places the experiment in
the context of emerging research findings in physics, biology,
neuroscience, and evolutionary studies.

SCIENCE CAN CORROBORATE SPIRITUAL BELIEFS?
The Eastern metaphysics of Hinduism and
Buddhism, their religious derivations, and early Judaism and
Christianity describe reincarnation in terms that cannot be
easily, if at all, tested by the nonbeliever. Such supernatural beliefs require unquestioning credulity. A historical overview of some of these religious and spiritual beliefs can be
seen by clicking here — which also links to a good introduction to Jewish and Christian beliefs. Science cannot prove any aspects of these spiritual beliefs without measurable evidence of their veracity.
Fortunately, several areas of the physical and behavioral evidence that led to such ancient beliefs can be found linking the lives of people living today with people who died leaving documented information about themselves and their behaviors. The Reincarnation Experiment is the first-ever effort to treat reincarnation as a natural process that can and should be subjected to
scientific analysis. For that reason alone, it provides a
credible data base for interdisciplinary discussions and evaluations of the psychoplasm (or soul-genome) hypothesis.

A MOVE FROM SUBJECTIVE TO OBJECTIVE RESEARCH:
|
The objective evidence that led
nature-oriented societies to postulate a process like reincarnation
includes physical features and psychological factors. Facial
architecture, body types, hair patterns, ear forms, hand-finger
proportions, voice, and odor have been noted to correspond in two
separate lifetimes. Some physical similarities also include special
markings, birthmarks and deformities. Matching psychological traits
include levels of mental development, emotional patterns, styles of
interacting with others, and areas of creative interest. (See analysis of reincarnation-case facial comparisons with random matches.)
All these factors seem to make up a psychoplasm (an information-rich,
energetic field) that enfolds and animates the genomic material
synthesized at conception. When we have a better understanding of the interaction between the genome and the epigenome, this project will test the psychoplasm concept by comparing a subject's relevant DNA sequences with the genome from his or her alleged previous incarnation. Could some of the 21,000 human, protein-producing genes play a role in reincarnation as well as in culture? Read more....
Much empirical date now suggests that what a person
accomplishes in terms of self-development and learning becomes a legacy the soul genome/psychoplasm transmits to the next generation. The question is whether it is passed individually or some collective consciousness.

INDIVIDUAL PARTICIPATION IN REINCARNATION EXPERIMENT
If your reincarnation research efforts are compatible with the experiment's methodology, there are several options for your participation:
1. Submit a Self-Developed Case. 2. Propose A New Tentative Case for Evaluation. 3. Use Our Methodology for Self-Discovery. 4. Obtain an Exploratory Past-Life Consultation. 5. Obtain Past-Life-Based Coaching. 6. Become a Past-Life-Based Coach/Researcher. Regardless of your location and professional background, if one of the six interests you, click here more details. CLUES LEADING TO POSSIBLE PAST-LIVES
Many people receive hints of possible
past lives that cannot be considered as definitive proof of
reincarnation or of a specific past-life connection. Some come through
extrasensory channels such as dreams, visions, intuitive feelings, or
hypnosis. Some may come from other-dimensional sources such as psychic
readings or through channeled messages from apparent disincarnate
beings.
Since neither such sources nor the information from them can be accessed by independent observers, they provide only potential clues
that require validation by third parties. Nevertheless, they should not
be dismissed out-of-hand as they may lead to verifiable evidence to
support the posited past-life connection. Skillful use of regression hypnotherapy can assist in recovering details that can be later verified.
FINANCIALLY SUPPORT COSTS OF SCIENTIFIC EQUIPMENT, SOFTWARE, AND ANALYSISProfessionals involved in this project do so on a pro bono basis. Certain expenses for measurement equipment, data processing software, and technical analysis is paid for by participants and supporters like you.
