Great minds privately were convinced of reincarnation

Edgar Allan Poe wrote of reincarnation feelings in his short story “Berenice” (https://poestories.com/read/berenice)

…it is mere idleness to say that I had not lived before –that the soul has no previous existence. You deny it? — let us not argue the matter. Convinced myself, I seek not to convince. There is, however, a remembrance of aerial forms — of spiritual and meaning eyes –of sounds, musical yet sad –a remembrance which will not be excluded; a memory like a shadow, vague, variable, indefinite, unsteady;

 

This is very typical of thousands of years of writing by great men and women about reincarnation — 1) that strong feeling that you know someone (or some place) already.

Other indicators are 2) tremendous inborn talents for a certain skill, and 3) kids being born already having fully-formed, hardened, solid personalities, quirks and habits.

Only a few people have actual memories of a past life, usually associated (70%) with a traumatic death at an early age, but not always.

Ian Stevenson, MD and his successor, James Tucker, MD at the University of Virginia Medical School, have focused on these traumatized young people with flashbacks to a violent death.

Usually, however, these memories do fade away by age five or so.

The research by Stevenson and Tucker has been incredibly valuable because, for the first time (and fueled by a $1 million bequest from the founder of Xerox and inventor of the photocopy machine, Chester Carlson), they are doing formal scientific case-studies on very large numbers of definite reincarnation cases — over 2,500 since 1965!

This goes, in terms of credibility, way,way beyond 1) that déjà vu feeling so many, many, many people have betimes, 2) the feeling of instantaneous, powerful attractions or dislikes, or 3) seeing kids born with amazing talents which nothing in their environment, while growing up, can really explain.

As I have blogged, my own parents were baffled that I, from age five on, while being only 1/16th German (and even that sixteenth I did not know of at the time), glommed fanatically onto everything German!

Not only did I start studying German with a passion, at five, but I, unlike almost all other Americans, speak it with a perfect accent, but also the Austrian dialect…..

And as a kid, with FAR less than zero encouragement from my family (to say the least, given that my dad was a WWII vet), I felt 1) drawn to national socialism, 2) horrified by its defeat and 3) revolted by the degeneracy in modern American “culture.”

When I first went by the NSWPP headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, I got a bunch of their literature. The very next week I was there again, and was already totally convinced about the Jewish Question.

Then I mentioned the “Holocaust,” and the duty officer, Frederick Verduin, said (trying not to shock me, as if I were just another “normie” who needed to be gently “eased into” the truth) that the Party actually kinda doubted that the Jewish Holocaust ever really happened. 😉

To Fred’s utter amazement, with me already having drawn the full, harsh conclusions from my reading about the Jews — and having become totally hard-core in just one week on the whole JQ —  I was crestfallen to hear from him that the Holo (with which we are constantly guilt-tripped) had never even happened.

Appalled, I said to Fred:

“If the Jews are as wicked and dangerous as you say, Fred, then, when Hitler had all this power at his disposal  over the Jews in Europe, why did he NOT go ahead and holocaust them?!?!

Letting them go is just like seeing a huge, nasty cockroach head right past you into your kitchen, and yet not squashing it instantly with your boot when you had a perfect chance!”

 

   .

Heck, after one week, I was already out-radicalizing Hitler. 😉 There was certainly no need for Fred Version (who, BTW, was active-duty Army and Old Guard) to pull his punches with me. 😉

But, getting back directly to reincarnation, before Drs. Stevenson and Tucker came along with their rigorous scientific studies of flashback kids who had died violently, what sustained reincarnation for millennia among the great minds of the West has been these puzzling phenomena:

1) déjà vu,

2) instant, fierce dislikes and also powerful attractions,  and

3) absolutely inborn talents.

Here now is a poem by the great Alfred Lord Tennyson, poet laureate of Britain for many years under Queen Victoria. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred,_Lord_Tennyson)

Early Sonnets, Number One

As when with downcast eyes we muse and brood,
And ebb into a former life, or seem
To lapse far back in some confused dream
To states of mystical similitude;
If one but speaks or hems or stirs his chair,
Ever the wonder waxeth more and more,
So that we say, “All this hath been before,
All this hath been, I know not when or where”.
So, friend, when first I look’d upon your face,
Our thought gave answer each to each, so true—
Opposed mirrors each reflecting each—
That tho’ I knew not in what time or place,
Methought that I had often met with you,
And either had lived in either’s heart and speech.

Voltaire, the great French Enlightenment philosopher, historian and novelist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltaire), wrote

The Socinians or Unitarians [opponents of standard Christian theology] make capital of the doctrine [of “Saint” Paul] of “original sin.” They call the acceptance of this doctrine “the original sin of Christianity.” It is an outrage against God, they say.  To dare to say that He created all the successive generations of mankind only to subject them to eternal punishment under the pretext that their original ancestor ate of a particular fruit in a garden is to accuse Him of the most absurd barbarity.

***

Paul, a Sanhedrin Pharisee who infiltrated and took over Christianity, radically reworking it into a pro-Jewish new religion,

 

.

..invented the notion of “original sin” — that the supposed God of Love sentenced us all to eternal hellfire because our ancestor, Adam, disobediently ate the apple of “the knowledge of good and bad.”

Jesus then had to die to lift His Father’s curse.

So His death was not just a foul murder by the Jews, ya see, but God actually WANTED Jesus to be killed by the Jews, so the Jews were God’s means to bring salvation and life in heaven to us hell-bound goyim….

Yeahhhhh, right…

So the Jews are “still” to be seen by us Goys as “God’s Chosen People”….. and certainly should not be dealt with — once and for all.

 

***

This sacrilegious imputation is even more inexcusable among Christians, since there is no mention of this invention of original sin either in the Pentateuch [the first five books of the Old Testament] or in the Gospels [the first four books of the New Testament][…]

Souls were either created from all eternity, with the result that they are infinitely older than Adam’s sin, and have no connection with it, or they are formed at the time of conception, with the result that God must exercise eternal vigilance and create in each instance a new spirit that He will render eternally miserable.”

I expect to publish more material with my comments from this book, Reincarnation: the Phoenix Fire Mystery.

…..Maverick, egotistical, flashy, bellicose, blondish, blue-eyed, 6’2″ President Donald Trump (born June 1946) is literally the reincarnation of the maverick, egotistical, flashy, bellicose, blondish, blue-eyed, 6’2″ general George Patton (died December 1945)
