    I put forward a theory on how Black vs White hatred can be significantly decreased within weeks or months......

    If a film came out on what is seen by perhaps ten White Supremacists who volunteer to be hypnotized and taken back in time to what they will perceive as past lives as members of many other racial groups.... plus.....

    And if that film also had ten Black activists who also are regressed in time under hypnosis and are shocked to see that they have these clear and powerful memories of being white in past lives..... .as well as being members of the opposite sex.

    The reaction to that information by a segment of the population who tend to be violent.... could be surprisingly good.

    Helen Wambach Ph. D. began a fascinating study back in 1965 that tends to scare most of us.... but it could sure be useful at a time like this.

    Ninety percent of volunteers can be hypnotized by a professional and can see these impressions of past lives......

    What is that white guy doin in my head? (Past life regression under hypnosis).

    I read both of Helen Wambach Ph. D.'s books back in the '90's and I am convinced that they have the potential to transform race relations.

    Well over sixty percent of Dr. Wambach's volunteers were women.... but almost exactly fifty percent of past lives viewed/ perceived.....were of men!

    White people see themselves as Black and Japanese and Chinese and Aboriginal in past lives. Roughly ninety percent of past lives viewed would be described as "poor" which is almost certainly not what would happen if people were simply remembering scenes from movies that they viewed as a child or teenager.

    Yes...... but you might have been Black, or Chinese, or Jewish or a woman........
    the woman part is what really kind of scared me and............

    Anyway...... the Dr. Ian Stevenson research has had me wondering about some of my own
    moles ... as to how I might perhaps have gotten those in a possible past life?????

    I don't really buy into the past life stuff, but I always find it interesting when people talk about it and they are always something better then they perceive themselves to be now.

    As for me, I was probably a Dog, hopefully owned by a loving master.

    Sure just like you could be of another race than you are right now right now in some other part of the multiverse....at least in theory, but would you really be you if you were a different race?

    Good question..... I think that the answer would be yes in some ways..... and no in other ways.

    Both Rabbi Yeshua - Jesus were correct in how they addressed the issue of John the Baptist being
    "Elijah" somehow..... Rabbi Yeshua was correct that he had been..... and John was in other ways accurate in
    saying that he was not!


    Matthew 11:11


    Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

    And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force

    For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

    And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come."

    Rabbi Yeshua - Jesus knew that many of his own people would be unable to receive this message.
    At least not in its full intended meaning anyway.


    John 1:19


    And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?

    And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.

    And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No."

    This certainly seems like a contradiction but John was accurate to state that he was not the Elijah that they were looking for.... the one who would restore the tribes of Israel and even appease the wrath of the L-RD.

    IF reincarnation is valid, then, in theory, it could be possible for a person to be reincarnated as someone of another race, the other sex, etc. Really, it's ALL theoretical, and none of us knows for sure, even though there are quite a few self-appointed 'experts' roaming around who claim to know all about reincarnation in great detail....

    Where in the Bible does it say we were only born once? I don't remember reading that or hearing a priest or minister saying that...


    I believe in God and all but I also believe in a past life, it always amuse me how people say they were a king or queen in a past life.

    I was probably some poor smuck living in a stone hut some where in Europe bitching about high taxes and liberals ..lol

    That is what really got to me as I read Helen Wambach Ph. D's first book.

    Ninety percent of her volunteers could be hypnotized and get impressions of past lives.... and yes......
    ninety percent of those past lives would be termed "poor."

    It was rare for her to find anybody connected to somebody famous......
    and extremely rare to run into a case like that of Ms. Barbro Karlen.

    http://www.iisis.net/index.php?page=semkiw-anne-frank-barbro-karlen-reincarnation-past-life



    Even in the Barbro Karlen case, I think that it is extremely interesting that Miss Anne Frank would choose to reincarnate as a Christian, partly to draw the attention of Christians to this type of questioning at this critical time in history.

    The concept of reincarnation is known to most serious Jewish scholars but it sure isn't well understood by us Christians.

    I don't believe in literal reincarnation, so my answer here has to be no. Although I do not entirely exclude the possibility of reincarnation being real. Because, afterall, birth and death are both constant and when someone dies, someone is born. I do not think it is the actual person who is reincarnated though. It is more of a soul kimd of thing.

    I don't know.

    My initial answer is no. I am me and I was always me.

    No, because there wasn't any 'past life'.

    I was actually an African female chief of the Twilai tribe about three life times back but was brutally overthrown and left out as lion offerings for failing to offer ulbushta to Takarasis, the great god of harvest which resulted in several drought yeas.

    I don't blame you one bit for being terrified of the truth on this..........
    the idea of perhaps being a woman in a number of past lives.......
    scares the hell out of me as well???!!

    I would not even be surprised that you might have been one of the women
    trained for warfare by an ancient King of Africa.

    They amputated their right breasts.....(if they were right handed).... so that they could use a sword effectively........

    Other tribes heard about the experiment and ganged up on that king..... and wiped out his army of women.... but it took a force that outnumbered them by 5X to defeat them........ They were all killed...... they didn't make good slaves!

    You presume much if you think unproven religious/superstitious claims "terrify" me, buddy. I simply have a materialistic view of life, i.e. we are our bodies and not some "spirit" or whatever that can survive separate from it to be "reborn" or go to some kind of afterlife.

    But you have to admit that the former Atheist Howard Storm testimony is at least a bit scary.........
