source: New Thinking Allowed    2015年12月21日
Walter Semkiw, MD, is founder and president of the Institute for the Integration of Science, Intuition, and Spirit. He is author of Born Again, Return of the Revolutionaries: The Case for Reincarnation and Soul Groups Reunited, and Origin of the Soul and the Purpose of Reincarnation.
Here he points out that some of the strongest evidence supporting the concept of reincarnation comes from rare, but well-documented, cases of xenoglossy – the ability of an individual to speak a language that they did not learn in their present lifetime. He describes some of these cases in detail. He also discusses some of the possible alternative explanations to reincarnation, such as possession, mediumship, or super-ESP. He explains why he feels that reincarnation offers the best explanation. He notes that “announcement dreams” often precede cases that are identified as reincarnation. He also discusses the notion that many people believe themselves to have been famous personalities in a past lifetime.
