‘Ifyouwanttofindthesecretsoftheuniverse,thinkintermsofenergy,frequencyandvibration.’

~NikolaTeslaMaterialisticview:Current scientific belief that the brain is the seat of consciousness,foundedonincompleteknowledgeofthebody/mindlinkisabartothe acknowledgement and deeper understanding of phenomenalstates.Theorthodoxpositionassumesthatconsciousnessisderivedfrom a belief in ‘upward causation’, i.e. that matter is the primarysource and therefore the causative factor initiating action. Thislimitedmaterialisticapproach isbased intheacknowledged lawsofphysics:i.e.elementaryparticlesmakeatoms,atomsmakemolecules,moleculesmake cells and cellsmake brain tissue. Particle physicsexplores the concept of ‘the subdivision of radiant energy and itstransference or transformation in an atomic or molecular state’ -proposinginfinitelygreaterpossibilities.TheLawofConservationofEnergyenshrinedinscience,statesthat‘the total energy of an isolated system remains constantirrespective of whatever internal changes may take place withenergy disappearing in one form reappearing in another’(Merriam-Webster Dictionary). The belief that spirit is primaryand that consciousness transcends matter is the foundation of allreligionsandspiritualmovementsandintrinsictotheconceptofthesoul.Thedefinitionofthesoulas‘theeternalaspectofconsciousnessresiding temporarily in the impermanent physical body’ (OxfordDictionary)impliesamultidimensionalconsciousnessofbody,mindand spirit. If we accept that energy can be changed but notdestroyed, the question of the location of consciousness followingbodily death inevitably arises. We are then required to consider adifferent location for consciousness beyond the body. To quoteEinstein: ‘Everything isenergyandthat’sall there is to it.

spiritual giants who have encouraged a spirit of investigation. Adiverse number of philosophers, humanitarians and writers haveexpressed their belief in the continuity of the soul in terms ofreincarnation, the principle that the soul survives the death of thebody to be reborn in a separate time and place in another body.Socrates, Pythagoras, Plato, Goethe, Albert Schweitzer, Voltaire,Tolstoy,WilliamWordsworth,ThomasEddison,Yeats,KahlilGibran,Mark Twain, Benjamin Franklin, Rudyard Kipling among many.Gandhi’s conclusion perhaps summarises a hypothesis based inpersonal accountability and divine justice: ‘I cannot think ofpermanent enmity between man and man, believing as I do in thetheoryofrebirth,Ishallliveinthehopethatifnotinthisbirth,insomeotherbirthIshallbeabletohugallhumanityinfriendlyembrace.’Fromthe4thcenturyCEdiscourseonrebirthbyGautamaBuddhatothe theories of a multiverse by the late Stephen Hawking, thetheoreticalphysicistandcosmologist,wearechallengedtorationallyconsiderallpossibilitiesincludingabeliefinsomethinggreaterthanourselves.Tendaysbeforehedied,ProfessorHawkingsubmittedhisfinal paper to the Journal of High Energy Physics in which hedescribed thepossibilityof an infinitenumberofparalleluniverseswhereeverythingthatcouldpossiblyhavehappenedinourpastbutdid not, has occurred in some other universe. Hawking was notenamoured of the idea but felt it could not be dismissed. Incomparison, the concept of rebirth and the continuity ofconsciousnessseemsalmostmundane.

Mind,MatterandPerceptionCarlGustavJungJung was considered the father of modern psychology and is bestknownforhisresearchintopersonalityandthehumanpsyche,whichhedefinedas‘thetotalityofallpsychicprocesses,consciousaswellasunconscious”.Jungbelievedthepsychetobeaself-regulatingsystem,constantly striving for self-actualisation. He coined the term‘individuatedconsciousness’bywhichhemeant theachievementofself-actualisationthroughaprocessofintegratingtheconsciousandtheunconscious. Thisrequiresthatweaccessthepartsbeyondtheego which organise thoughts, feelings and senses in addition toregulating access tomemory. Jung postulated that neuroses resultfromegoconflict,adisharmonybetweenthepersonalandcollectiveconsciousness.

Jung’s definition of dual consciousness as ‘personal’ and ‘collective’assists theunderstandingofprebirthandother lifememory. Bothoperateatanunconsciouslevelbeyondwakingawarenessbutcanbeaccessed in favourable conditions. In Jung’s philosophy, thecollective unconscious represents the totality of all shared humanexperience, past, present and future to which we are all heir, agoverning dynamic that underlies the whole of human experience.This provides one explanation of cryptomnesia (the retention ofunconscious memory of information learned through normalchannelsandconsciously forgotten)which isoftenmistakenlyusedtodismissclaimsof ‘other life’memory. ThePersonalUnconsciousrelating to individualised personal experience is a collection ofperceptions,repressedorforgottenmemories,desiresandemotionsbeinguniquelyseparateanddistinct.Jungbelievedthepsychetobethe totality of all psychological processes, both conscious andunconscious, themechanism by which we seek to attain a balancebetweenthecollectiveandthepersonalunconscious.As a theoretical psychologist and practising clinician, Jungextensivelyexplored theesotericphilosophiesofantiquity fromtheperspectivesofbothEastandWest,includingthemysticaltraditionsof alchemy, astrology, Gnosticism and Kabala. Based on his studyofChristianity,Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, and other beliefsystems, Jungbelievedthat the journeyof transformation,whichhecalled Individuation, lies at the mystical heart of all religions.‘Synchronicity’ is the termcoinedby Jung todescribe ‘ameaningfulcoincidence of two or more events where something other than theprobabilityofchanceisinvolved’.Sucheventsarenotlinkedcausally,nor teleologically (the evidence for design in nature), yet aremeaningfully related. Jung suggested that this, like the ‘déjà vu’experience(meaning‘alreadyseen’),thesenseofknowing,ofhavingexperienced something before, were examples of spontaneouslytappingintothecollectiveunconscious.Jung recorded a rich archive of personal experiences includingclairvoyant dreams, incidents of precognition and a near-deathexperience, in addition to various haunting incidents in which hewitnessed actual manifestations and poltergeist activity. Heconductedexperimentsintelepathyandexplored‘visionary’statesof consciousness, acknowledging a spirit guideknownasPhilemon.His Septem Sermones ad Mortuos (Seven Sermons to the Dead)produced by automaticwriting, inwhich he claimed that he talked

andpreachedtothedead,remainedprivateandwerenotpublishedpublicly until after his death. Jung cautioned thatmodern humansrely too heavily on science and logic and would benefit fromintegratingspiritualityandanappreciationoftheunconsciousrealm.Jungunderstoodthe‘epiphany’experiencetobeaconjunctionofourouterandinnerexperience.CarlRogers(1902-1987)Rogers helped found Humanistic Psychology and is widelyconsidered to be one of the founding fathers of psychotherapyresearch. Like Jung,Rogershadaprofound interest inmetaphysicsand the paranormal which he explored in depth, describing hisexperiencesandconclusions.

ConceptsofDivinity

Divinity presupposes a power or influence beyondhuman intellect.Inallreligioustraditionsspiritisprimary,thefirstprincipleorcausalpatternwithmatter secondary or consequential. Spirit, defined asthe non-physical aspect, is regarded as immortal, a distinct entityseparate from the body. In Eastern philosophy, the Law of Karmagovernsdivine justice through theUniversalprincipleofCause andEffect,actionandreaction.HinduPhilosophy:Translates the Sanskrit word ‘atman’ as soul or spirit, defining theimpersonalmanifestation of Brahma/God in the world, descending

into the elements of Nature and hidden within every object ofCreation. This includeshumans as amicrocosmof themacrocosm,eachendowedwithconsciousness.Thebeliefinreincarnationistiedto the concept of karma, the consequence of past action; throughrepeatedlivesofexperienceandaprocessofspiritualrefinement,thesoulprogressesexpandingintospiritatthepointofenlightenment.

Buddhism:Teaches the impermanenceofperception, thegoal is toachieve theBuddha-nature(or trueessence)saidtobeemptyofallconceptsofselfandidentity.Buddhismacknowledgesthepathofenlightenmentthroughrepeatedincarnations:‘beforebirthandafterdeathareveiledfromyourgaze.Youareconsciousonlyofthatwhichisvisibletoyoursenses.’(TheBhagavad-Gita). InBuddhismthe lifeenergy iscarriedforward fromone lifetime to thenext as themanifestation of one’smotives and intentions, created throughout life and before death.These‘samskaras’,orenergeticimprints,definethenextincarnation.The goal is release from attachment, to a blissful de-personalisedstateofreunionwiththeDivine.Monotheism:Do not accept the concept of rebirth in their precepts. CertainKabbalistic, Gnostic and Sufi teachings express anunderstanding ofthe continuity of the soul at their mystical core, while Westernmysticism and Eastern philosophies have been increasinglyintegrated intowhat iscommonlyreferredtoas ‘NewAge’ teachingwhichacknowledgesreincarnation.Atheism:Isthetotalidentificationwithamaterialisticphilosophy,thedenialoftheexistenceorpre-eminenceofspirit.

Is a branch of philosophy which teaches that the purpose of eachincarnation is to offer opportunity for soul progression. Accruedqualitiesgainedthroughpastexperienceareavailabletothesoulonits journey; unresolved imprints originating in past negativeexperiencesurfaceappropriatelyforresolution.(Seepaper:‘HumanConsciousness:EphemeralandMaterialStructureandForm’,LambC.2017forfurtherexplanationofthehumanenergyfield.)Ancient Hindu and Tibetan texts describe human consciousnessfunctioning within multilayered sheaths or ‘koshas’. This model,todaydescribedas ‘downward causation’, describes themechanismby which the consciousness or soul existing at the etheric level isclothed in the denser vibration from spirit to matter prior toincarnation. The Higher consciousness, operating with intentionfromtheethericfield,generatesatriplestructured,nestedhierarchyof intuitive, cognitive and sensory fields operating within distinctfrequencies. Remembrancesofpast experience, of relevance to thecurrent incarnation, are sealed within a memory sheath whichinterfaceswith the cellularmatrix. Thisdatabank is storedbeyondwaking consciousness, a protectivemechanism tominimizementalintrusion.‘Inthebuildingofthenewtriplebody(mental/emotional/physical)forthe new life cycle in the lower worlds, a new apparatus comes intoexistence for the use of the spiritual consciousness and the spiritualbody; and the latter retaining within itself the conscious memory ofpastevents,imprintsonthelower–itsinstrumentsforgatheringfreshexperience - only the results of the past, as faculties mental andemotional, with many traces of past experience remain in thesubconscious.’AnnieBesant/TheosophicalSociety

MetaphysicsofHealing

Matter is condensed spirit encapsulated in form. As densityincreases, the four elemental energies subdivide to expressthemselves as intuition, thought, sensation and movement in andthrough the physical body. In metaphysical terms, causal energy(spirit) is transmitted fromahigher frequency, flowing through thesubtle energy network of chakras and meridians, intersectingorganicallywithinthebody.Whenoptimumflowisrestrictedbythepresence of energetic imprints at the mental/sensory level,unconscious cognitive processes are triggered. Neurotransmitters

then disrupt the biochemical cascade affecting physiology andultimately anatomical function. This is interpreted by the brainthroughunconsciousmemorypatternsenactedaslearnedbehaviour,impinging on health and wellbeing. Function is restored whenmental/emotional equilibrium is achieved. In terms ofconsciousness, thismightbe seenas thedifferentiationprocess, i.e.growth which modifies and changes perception and thereforebehaviour. The subtle energy system has been mapped forthousands of years and is the foundation of Ayurvedic medicine,acupuncture and other traditional methods. Earliest texts provideaccounts of divine transmission from a higher stream ofconsciousness to sages and then to human physicians, continuingtoday where the criteria is met as channelled communicationtransposedashealingenergy.CausationThephilosophyofreincarnationprovidesopportunityforgrowthasopposedtopunishment.

Every thought,word ordeedreapsitscorrespondingrewardinthisoranotherlifetime,forinessencethereisonlyonelifewhetherinoroutofthebody,aneternaljourney of discovery. When we tire of the battle and choose toidentify with spirit or soul rather than our will, we transcend theillusion of an impermanentworld and are finally free from furtherembodiment.‘Thebodyistheresidenceandthesoulistheresident.Thefleshlyhouseis perishable and the soul, being the image of Spirit, is imperishable.Thereforewhenthebodydies,thesoulhastoshiftsomewhereelseforshelter.

MECHANISMOFMEMORY

Memoryisdefinedasthementalcapacityorfacultyofretainingandrecalling facts, events and impressions through the recognition ofprevious experiences. In medical terms the complex neurologicalsystem interconnects with the limbic system and theparasympathetic system, governing cognitive and emotionalresponse. They acknowledge the brain as the repository ofconsciousness and thereforememory. Mainstreammedical sciencerecognisesonlycurrentlifeexperience,limitingtheunderstandingofconsciousandunconsciousmemoryand themechanismofmemorytransfer.Shorttermandlong-termmemoryisstoredasneurologicalcodes at cognitive and subconscious levels, decoded throughneurochemical processes. It is now recognised that all cells storeinformation energetically as sub conscious memory. Research hasshown that cells of living tissue remember past experience, evenhaving the capability to memorise characteristics of the deceasedhuman they relate to. (Pearsall P, Schwartz G. E. R., Russek L.G.S.2000)

SubconsciousMemories:At the energetic level memories are held within the cognitive andsensory fields, theyconnectat thecellular levelvia the fascia. Thisband or sheet of connective tissue beneath the skin is primarilycomposed of collagen, a high tensile protein providing elasticity,structure and form. The fascia attaches to muscles and internalorgans, providing an interface between the physical body and theelectromagneticfield,thereasonmyofascialmassageanddeeptissuemassagereleasepain,encouragingfreemovement.AccordingtotheRolf InstituteofStructural Integration,deepmassage“worksontheweb-like network of connective tissues, to release, re-align andbalance the whole body”.

initial workshop. David had already proved to be a remarkablesubject,accessingpast lifememoryreadily. Whendetailsof the lifeof a monk in an obscure Chinese dynasty were confirmed ashistorically correct, an example of obscure data, known only tospecialist historians. (Chi-Hoang-Ti Dynasty’ between 246 –200BC)this initiated an investigative process. The research programme in2018eventuallyrevealedfurtherdetails: ‘Chi-Hoang-TiwasthefirstuniversalmonarchofChina,237BC.whobuiltTheGreatWallofChina.TheaccessionofthisprincetookplaceabouttwocenturiesbeforetheChristianera.ThisistheshortestofallChinesedynasties.’(GoodrichSGAncientHistory1793-1860).

CorrelationwithChildhoodPastLifeMemory

It eventually became clear that the memories were transposed asfrequently happenswhen fragmentedmemories surface. Over timetheeventsdescribedwere identifiedas separate timeperiodswereconfirmedhistorically.Womanonboardship

• During the initial Workshop, Fran unknowingly accessed thesamepastlifememoryrepeatedlyexperiencedbythetherapistinchildhood.

• Fran identified the therapistas thewomanstandingaloneonboardaship,

• Franconfirmedthesameclothingandappearanceseen in thechildhoodmemory.

• Both Fran and Moira independently described memories assisters.

• BothrelatedtoemigratingwiththeirbrothertoAmerica.• The time frame was uncertain however the dress indicatedearly20thcentury.

• Moiragavespecificdetailsofthesiblingsincludingnames,ageandgender.

• SixmonthslaterDavidconnectedtothesameIrishfamily.• David corroborated details of gender and ages despitewitnessingthefamilywithinadifferenttimescale.

Immediately after her only recall sessionMoira had elected not toengage with the investigations due largely to her inexplicable

23

ambivalence towards David. This eliminated any possibility ofcollusion.Egyptianstory

• Thetherapistexperiencedmomentaryrecognitionofoneofthepeople attending theWorkshop being linked in someway tothechildhoodmemoryoftheEgyptianpriestess.

• Following theWorkshop, the therapist began to experience arecurring dream of the Egyptian priestess along with thetelepathicmessage‘nottoforget’:ThepersoninthedreamwasthenrecognizedasJosephinthepresent.

• UnknowntothetherapistJosephhadbeguntohavedreamsofEgyptandofpyramids.

• Josephs clairvoyant visionwas also awakened, creating someconfusionforhim.Whileatworkhecommentedtoacolleaguethat the huge stone blocks he could ‘see’ were too heavy tomove;thesewereinfactsimplycardboardboxes.

• This and other experiences became embarrassing andtroublesome to him and he approached the therapist for anexplanation.Hewasreassuredthatthiswaspossiblya‘pastlifememory’ surfacing and as he was reluctant to have a recallsession,hereceivedenergyalignment.(LambC2017).

• The images of Egypt faded and did not recur however theclairvoyance persisted, with perception of auric fields, colourandlight.

• SubsequentlyJosephthenbegantomakemodelpyramidstoaveryexactingstandard.

• This meeting proved to be significant, opening a doorway ofconsciousness for both which would lead to an opportunity.(detailedinthenextpaper).

HealingPerspectives

Wehadbeenrepeatedlyimpressedthatthepurposeoftheworkwashealing through understanding of the continuity of consciousness.Validation was therefore of little or no importance initially. TheStrangewaysresearchwouldhaveremainedoneofthemanyonfilewhichwerenevervalidatedifitwerenotfortheintentiontopublishthepapers.Murdertrial

24

• David’s attempts to reconcile Moira’s animosity at theWorkshop resulted in the recall session of a shared lifetogether, recounting a murder and imprisonment., a life ofregret.

• This story profoundly illustrated the continuity ofconsciousness and life plan connections which provide anopportunitytoresolvethepastwherethereisawillingness.

• Moirahadremainedintransigentandwasunawareofthestoryhaving alreadywithdrawn fromany association after 7th June1991.

• Research in 2018 uncovered the trial of Edward Young, whomurdered his wife in 1890 in Manchester England. It isrecordedintheCriminalArchivesandistheonlyrecordwhichuniquely matches the events given in the recall i.e. location,time period, ages, death by stabbing, sentence of deathcommuted to life imprisonment with his release andsubsequentdeathasanelderlyman.(SeeAppendix)

SocialDemographics

Ballymenastory• Seven months after the workshop, David spontaneouslyaccessedamemoryconnectedtoBallymenaanameunfamiliartobothofus.

• He connected to the same Irish family already mentionedaccurately describing the dwelling, with an earth floor andcookingonacreeloverthefire.

• Hedescribedtheculturalidentityandlineageofthefamily,asthirdgenerationScotsPresbyterians.

• Theageandgenderofthesiblingswasgiven,corroboratingtheearliersessionbyMoira.

• Thedateof1584provedtobehistoricallyaccuraterelatingtothe commencement of colonisation by the English CrownthroughtheAnglo/ScottishmigrationtoIreland,

• Theaccountof the town’sunique religious influenceon Irishculture, is validated by Scottish Presbyterianism, thefoundationoftheScots-Irishtoday.

• A reference to the family as ‘third generation ScotsPresbyterians… third generation McLeod’s.’ provided anapproximate 90 year timeline. (A generation is generallyreckonedas30years,)

• The 1800s was mentioned as the possible time theO’ShaughnessyfamilywerelivinginBallymena,

25

• Three generations i.e. some 90 years would suggest theirforebearsarrivedfromScotlandsometimeinthe1700s,whichcoincideswiththegreatestinfluxofScots‘planters’toUlster.

• A clear reference to distinct identity and the intermarriagebetween two ethnic communities, the ethnic Irish and theimmigrant Scotts ‘planters’was given: “O’Shaughnessy is ourname.McCloudismymother’sname…Scottishancestry.Scottishonmymother’sside…Irishonmyfather’s’

• Donnegalwasmentionedsuggestingrelocationtothatcounty,the land being correctly described as Bleak…hills…rocky…Nogood for growing… I’m seeing sheep dotted about all over thehillside. Thelandisverypoor…thegrassissparse…itwouldn’tsupportcattle.

• TheGreatFamineofthemid1800sculminatedinevictionformany. The 296,448 former population ofDonnegal had fallento 185,635 by 1891 due to a combination of religiouspersecution,evictionandfaminewithmassemigration,mostlytoAmerica.

• Donegal is geographically linked to the Province of Ulster inNorthern Ireland but is part of the Republic of Ireland.Historically the disenfranchised Catholic Irish were governedby the Protestant English, with Scots Presbyterians in themajorityintheNorth.

• The persecution and religious division resulted in repeatedrebellionsandTheWarof Independencewith thePartitionofIrelandin1922.(SeeAppendix)

PrecognitionandPredetermination

NonlocalcommunicationNeither David nor the therapist had personal experience of directchannellingwhenhebegantoreceivecommunicationfromanentitywho described himself as a ‘guide’. The communication arosespontaneouslywhileinanalteredstateofconsciousnessatthecloseof the therapysessions,providingdeeper insight intotherecallanditsrelevancetothepresent.

• David was informed of his part in a collective plan and of afutureopportunitytoworktogetherwiththetherapist,toraiseawareness of healing through an understanding of thecontinuityofthesoul.

26

• The therapist was informed that: ‘there are many within theLight who wish to offer their assistance to fulfill of this greatwork.Theywillconnectasyouprogress’.

Precognition

• Davidpredictedfutureeventsinvolvingahealingnetworkwithtimes,datesandlocationofHebdenBridgegiven.

• Moira made precognitive comments concerning a futurehealing centre, naming the location as the town of HebdenBridge.

• David identified ‘Nut Clough’ (unknown to therapist) as herfutureplaceof residence. Threeyears later relocation toNutCloughoccurreddue to unforeseenpersonal circumstances, acatalystfortheopeningofthefirstclinicinHebdenBridge.

• There were no plans to relocate or to establish a centre,howeverthisoccurredin19915.

CONCLUSIONS

The excerpts which provide the focus of this paper were selectedfromnotes recordingmultiple phenomena occurring over an initialthree-yearperiod.Thoseinvolvedhadaninterestintheparanormalbut had no prior knowledge or experience of psychic phenomena.Withoutexception,theyhadnopriorbeliefinreincarnation,severalwereCatholicandheldstrongreservationsaboutthecontent,othersheld no religious convictions. Religious bias can therefore beexcluded. The initial past life memories experienced in childhoodproved to be a vehicle from which to illustrate the continuity ofconsciousness. The later phenomena provided a demonstration ofsoul groupconnection, consequenceof actionandopportunities forhealing.TheStrangewaysstorybeinganexampleoftheopportunitytoacceptotrejectopportunity.My role was to record the accounts as clinical case studies, whichincreasingly cross-referenced over time.

A higher stream of consciousness guided our understanding ofevents, which involved precognition and the unfolding of apredeterminedplanandpurpose. Channelled information includedpersonal and collective data repeatedly indicating a purpose i.e. ahealingnetworkcommencingwithaCentrewhichwouldofferpastlifetherapy.Therewerenoplanstoestablishsuchacentrein1991,the ideawouldhaveseemed fanciful in theextreme,given financialandpersonallimitationsatthattime.However,theinformationwasvalidatedbyevents, the firstcentreopened in1993withadditionalclinicsandcentresopeninginthefollowingyearsaspredicted..Theworkdevelopedoverthreedecadestoincorporateschools,acollegeprogramme, publishing andmultimedia broadcasting and has beenthesubjectoftelevisiondocumentaries.What is commonly described as ‘past life therapy’ is in reality therealignmentofconsciousnessthroughthereleaseoftraumamemory.Thepotentialforhealingwhenconductedwithfullunderstandingisincalculable.

APPENDIX Extract from: Multifaceted Aspects of Human Consciousness: Continuity of Consciousness, Extrasensory Perception, Precognition, Reincarnation and Past Life Memories in Childhood. (Lamb C, Warters J 2018) ChildhoodMemoriesofOtherLivesBedouinGirlThe first occurrence of ‘past life memory’ occurred at the age ofseven. On a rainy day, she arrived at the cinema with a group ofotherchildrenandrecallssitting inadampraincoatwaiting for thefilm to begin. ‘As the film titles went up and the enigmatic musicbegan,openingonadesertscenewithacamel train, Iwasdistractedbyaboyintherowbehindmekickingthebackofmyseat...’ Thefilmzoomed inonayounggirl seatedona camel,plodding through thedesertsands.Astheboybehindcontinuedtokickthesubject’sseat,suddenlyeverythingaroundherdisappearedandshewasawareonlyofarockingsensation.Shesaid,’Itwasasifmomentarily,thevisualrhythmofthecamel’sgaitand the rhythmic rocking ofmy cinema seat synchronised and Iwastransportedoutof timeandspace. MyvisionseemedrestrictedandIfelt as though Iwas looking througha letter box and thena strangefeeling as if my face was covered and I realised that I was lookingthrough a heavy veil, ‘which today would be called a niqab.‘ Herraincoathaddisappearedandshecouldfeelonly‘heavyrobes,whichIsensed were black’. No longer aware of the cinema seat, she feltherself to be ‘seated high up on some kind of brightly coloured rugwhichIknewtobetasseledandfringed’. Shewasalsoacutelyawareof a ‘pungent odour’and looking down saw the ‘head and neck of acamel.’ She states that thiswas ‘not imaginationoradreamy state’but full sensory awareness. She was able to feel the weight andtexture of the robes andwas aware of the ‘jangling of some kind ofjewellerylikecoinsaroundwristsandankles’.Thesubjectwasableto‘see, feel and smell the camel’; unlike the unkempt animals she hadseenatthezoothisonehada ‘brightlycoloured,tasseledhalter”and

32

‘thereinswereheldbyayoungmandressedinblackwhosefaceIcouldclearlysee,smilingupatme’.Shedescribesfeeling‘mischievousandalittlenaughty’andawarethatsheshouldnotbelookingattheyoungman.The experience ended as suddenly as it had begun and ‘Iwas onceagainawareofthecinemaseatanddampraincoatandtheweightofmyschoolshoes’. Shereportedthatalthoughthefilmtheyhadgoneto see continued, she never remembered the story as her mindstruggledtocometotermswithherfirstcompleteexperienceofanaltered state of consciousness and ‘other life’memory. Aware thatthe experience had been triggered by the image on the screen, thesubject felt that she had been transported to ‘some other time andplace’andsaidthatthegirlshecouldsee‘felttobeapartofmeinawaythatIdidnotunderstand’. Ofmanylater ‘past life’experiences,this was the strongest full sensory connection involving physical,emotionalandmentalfaculties;‘ItfeltlikeIwaspresentinthecinemaseatbutwasdressedinherclothesandcouldfeelhermischievousness.Itwas like beinganadolescent breakinga cultural code.’ Over timeshefeltthiswasconnectedtoBedouins.JapaneseWomanAt the age of nine, another image surfaced spontaneously of a‘Japanese girlwearing a traditional kimono’. A sideways view, ‘Theupswept black hair pinned with ivory combs and decorated withflowersandthemask-likewhiteface’ofwhatshelatercametorealisewas a geisha. Again, she could sense theweight and textureof thekimono, which she instinctively knew to be silk and could feel theemotionofthegirl,whowas‘standingperfectlystilllookingoutontoagarden’.Inthefardistance,thesubjectcouldsee‘alakeandasnow-cappedmountain.’ Shesaid, ‘Adeepsadnessalwaysaccompaniedthescene and I knew she was waiting for someone or something. Theimage recurred repeatedly over several months and then seemed tofadealthoughIcouldrecalleverydetail.‘EgyptianPriestessBytheageof12,theearlypsychicexperienceshadrecededbutwerenever forgotten. One hot summer’s day at school, bored with thelesson and staring out of the classroomwindow, a further incidentoccurred: ‘Ibecameawareofabeebuzzingaroundthewindowpaneandtheteacher’svoicewasdroninginthebackground.Thetwosoundsseemedtosynchroniseandmyminddriftedbeyondtheconfinesofthe

classroom.’ She experienced the familiar altered state ofconsciousness: ‘Awarm feeling pervadedmy body and I felt a slightsenseoftiredness.Ibecameawareofasoftwhitelight.TheclassroomhadmomentarilydisappearedandIwasawareofavagueoutline,thehead and shoulders of awomanwhich became increasingly distinct.’Nolongerhearingtheteacher’svoice,shebecameawareof ‘thefull-length figure of a young woman, aged around thirty. The hair wasshoulder length, straight and very black, the eyes blue with a verydirect gaze. Shewas in a simplewhite robe andwore a necklace ofturquoisewithdarkbluestones.Thewordslapislazulidriftedthroughmy mind and I wondered what they meant. She was standingmotionless, looking atmewith a penetrating gaze. She seemed to besaying something but not in words, the message was conveyedtelepathically’. Thesubjectbelievedthatthefigurewasappealingtoher and endeavoring to remind her of something. She sensed thewords,‘Donotforget’asthefiguredisappeared.The imagesurfacedagainandagain inquietmoments.

feltasensethatsomethinghadgonewrong,thatsomethinghadbeenlostforever.’The impression of the priestess and the Egyptian gradually fadedfromhereverydayreality.Inlateryears,withgreaterunderstanding,she would be able to associate the feelings which had seemedincomprehensible to her childish mind, with the consequence ofcompromise. This experience differed in that it was the only oneinvolving a direct telepathic message occurring in full wakingconsciousnessandnotinthemoreusualwaypriortosleep.IrishGirlAt the age of thirteen, the subject was diagnosed with rheumaticfeverresultinginaperiodofprolongedbedrest.Thedayswerelongandmobilitywas limited. As she lay forhours, images filtered intoherwaking consciousnessof ‘greenhills, a traditionalwhitewashedcottage, a beach, the sound of fiddle music playing’. She somehowknewthattheimageswereofIreland.Animagerepeatedlysurfacedanddisappeared, ‘the indistinct faceofayounggirl inherteenswithlongcurlyredhair,whoappearedangry’.Thisimagemergedwithanemotional responsemanymonths later as the subject listened to afavourite record of an Irish tenor singing, ‘I’ll take you home againKathleen’,whichshehadrecentlypurchased,anunusualchoiceforathirteen-year-oldgirlinthelate1950s.Thisimagewasdescribedashavingthegreatestemotionalimpact,‘theonlyonethatfeltangryandfrustrated’.WomanonaShipAs the subject approached theageof fourteen, shebegan tohavearecurring dream of the open sea andwouldwakewith a feeling ofisolation. A further episode of ‘past life memory’ followed,experiencedas ‘blurredanddisconnectedimageryassporadicflashesrather than a prolonged scene but it always began with the sea. Iseemedtobestaringoutacrosstheoceanfromthedeckofaship’. Arepetitive image faded inandoutof viewof ‘ayoungwoman inherearly twenties’ dressed in a ‘high collared blouse, a long jacket andankle lengthskirtwithboots’,herfairhairwaspileduponherhead.’The feeling associated with the image was of ‘loss, confusion anddisillusionment’. The memory was described as ‘the mostdisconnected but with very clear impression of her clothing and herloneliness’.

Eachoftheseexperiencesinvolvedaveryrealsenseofconnectiontothe person, a recognition and an awareness of their circumstancesand emotions. Some had a stronger sensory connection regardingclothing. For example, ‘I knew the kimonowas silk and very heavy’.Eachepisodeinvolvedasenseofrecognitioninthatshefeltthatthiswas somehow ‘me in another timeandplace.
