Friendly Fire: Life Before Life (featuring Dr. Jim B. Tucker)

[GermanOperaSinger]

When Dr. Stevenson's research is finally taken seriously by the scientific community, it will open a whole new field of scientific research. The negative repercussions of organized religion has caused society to turn away from even the possibility of a spiritual reality. Mainstream scientific research is conducted on the assumption of materialism. Stevenson's work was not associated with biased religious dogma. It was objective, empirical, scientific, and quite frankly, very convincing evidence.

@GermanOperaSinger I agree completely : )

Great video :) Such a theory or observation seems to tie in with, theories of quantum physics, philosophy, those reports of near death experiences, the notion of regression therapy and possibly the paranormal in the sense of un-explained energy :) Very interesting .... I think such work may lead to a shift away from sciences present discourse of materiality .... and possibly lead to science acknowledging spirituality in so far as a 'missing piece' :) thank you :)

@minimayhen88 But how will it all connect. How does quantam physics prove that consciousness survives beyond the brain? I am just wondering I am not a scientist.

[HaphazardCrappola]

@A0Candle0In0The0Dark I think its called energy.

good book, I read it, I recommend it

God, they always ask the wrong questions!!

Why is it that someone who has gone through the terrible trauma of losing their fingers seems to have to be born with he same disability. that to me is SO cruel!

IF as many people say who claim to know afterlife report ANY disability is not mainifest there. WHy from there to here does it have to be lived again?

[matydrum]

because he couldnt deal with it when he died and has to learn to deal with it, it's karmic, it's not cruel, cause evrybody will find total peace, we have to learn to win over suffering by leting go attachements. sorry if my english isnt right.... peace love and unity! namaste!

[zezt]

@matydrum you believe it if you wanna.not me.

[matydrum]

Trust me man, I was a pure sceptical until I had realy amazing experiences in my life, I'm just gonna tell you this: always keep your mind open, only folow what truly makes sens to you, always stay critical, better a wise atheist than a fanatic believer, but always seek the best in you and the other, and what ever you beliefs are, u'l get the best out of life! "The true value of one is in his integrity and the way he affects others positively." bob marley. :D

[zezt]

@matydrum good wisdom. I try and do just that ;)

[TejasM14]

@matydrum Wise words my friend.

[squamish4244]

@zezt It can be viewed as simple cause and effect. There is no judgment or blame, just one thing leads to another. For instance, an accident at work kills someone, and it is a tragedy but not ''cruel'' because nobody did anything on purpose to cause it.

[zezt]

@squamish4244 No sorry, that doesn't click with me. Yes it is true accidents happen which can seriously hurt or kill you, I know. But the idea that something disfiguring your leg in a train accident must mean birth with a similarly disfigured leg doesn't make sense. What about someone totally mangled, does that mean they are born that way? I seriously hope not. AND there is no way to either prove it nore disprove it.

[squamish4244]

@zezt We can't let ''I seriously hope not'' type statements cloud our thinking. I seriously hope that I don't get cancer, but that doesn't mean it won't happen. The real issue is HOW an occurrence in one life can be transferred to another. Science has not yet identified how, but does that mean we should dismiss the evidence? We don't understand much at all of how magnetism works, but it clearly does. The only thing that will settle this debate is more research.

[zezt]

@squamish4244 there IS no evidence is my point.

[minimayhen88]

@zezt I agree with you ... it clearly does happen, and in J. Tuckers book he discusses cases in which consciousness itself has menifested physical injuries (under hypsnosis) ...thus we must be open minded :) ... also the nature of these childrens deaths are frequently extremely traumatic, which suggests that as J.Tucker states 'the normal dying process maybee altered' ... due to the traumatic circumstances of death ....

Excellent.

Such a good read, Life Before Life.

Jim is such a nice person.

[raposofan]

Dr. Michael Newton went into deeper detail on reincarnation in his books Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls - if you enjoyed this interview, get the books.

Good topic, well presented!
