One of the longest enduring afterlife beliefs that we have is reincarnation. The thought goes that once we pass away, some part of us is reborn into a new person; a new body, and that life continues again and again and again. Many cultures throughout the world and throughout time have held this belief to be fundamentally true. It has only been in the last 70 years, that certain scientists and researchers have been seriously investigating claims from people that say that they have experienced a life before the one that they are currently living. The evidence that something truly profound and perplexing is happening, is irrefutable.
I did an episode on Patreon regarding a journalist who became convinced he had made contact with a spirit guide that turned out to be a lover in a past life. I think it is one of the finest episodes I’ve made and it is well worth joining Patreon to have a listen. The episode is called The Tightrope.
