Evidence of Reincarnation Characteristics of Reincarnation Research Type 1 – Children’s spontaneous memory of past lives in about 2% of population; high percentage of unnatural death in such children’s past life; birth mark on same spot of inflicted injuries; cases are not limited to cultures more tolerant to concept of reincarnation (USA 300+, India 200+ cases); many xenoglossy experience; most cases are subject to rigorous scientific standard. Type 2 – In contrast to traditional Sigmund Freud Theory of childhood influence; work mostly on depression or phobia types of patients; difficult to validate findings due to long time elapse from past lives. 10/29/2020 12
Evidence of Reincarnation Characteristics of Reincarnation Study Type 3 – Cases show high degrees of similarity between current and past lives, such as physical appearance, personality, writing style, etc. ; karma group reincarnation is dominant; number of cases has grown considerably due to more systematic studies; unfortunately people tend to discount or ignore findings from psychic/medium; Dr. Semkiw suggested DNA research. Limited evidence was found. Type 4 – Share many characteristics as Type 3; spontaneous memory by adult individuals; indigo children. Type 5 – Powerful evidence, but least studied and understood. 10/29/2020 13
Evidence of Reincarnation Type 1 Cases – By Dr. Ian Stevenson (1) Hanan Monsour/Suzanne Ghanem - (“Old Souls” by Tom Shroder) (2) Rashid Khaddege/Daniel Jurdi – Lebanon; birthmark matching wound (3) Jagdish Chandra/Babuji Pandey – India, from two different castes (4) Corliss Chotkin/Victor Vincent – Alaska, two scars, pre-birth notice (5) Cemil Fahrici/Cemil Hayik – Turkey, two birthmarks (see photo) (6) Hanumant Saxena/Maha Ram – India, birthmark on chest (see photo) (7) Jacinta Agbo/Nsude Agbo – Nigeria, birthmark of a skull operation (see photo) 10/29/2020 14
Cemil Fahrici was born in Hatay, Turkey. On the night before his birth, his father dreamed a distant relative, Cemil Hayik entered his house. Hayik was a bandit and was surrounded in a hideout, where he shot himself by pointing the gun under his right chin. Cemil Fahrici was born a few days after Cemil Hayik was dead. Cemil Fahrici was born with a bleeding birthmark under the chin which was hospitalized and stitched. When Cemil was 2 years old, he was able to describe Hayik’s colorful life “bit by bit. ” These memory/nightmare persisted until he was 6~7 years old. As a child Cemil had a markedly hostile attitude toward police and would threw things and even shot at policemen. He was friendly with Hayik; s family for years. Initially Dr. Stevenson assumed that Cemil has only one birthmark. Several years later, Cemil’s sister mentioned to Dr. Stevenson that Cemil had another birthmark on the top of his skull which was later verified. The police sketch was found that showed Hayik had an entrance wound under the chin and an exit wound on the top of skull. 10/29/2020 15
Hanumant Saxena was born in Uttar Pradesh, India, in 1955. Not long before he was conceived, his mother dreamed a man called Maha Ram appeared to her. Maha was shot dead only a few weeks earlier by an unknown killer. When Hanumant was born, his parent noticed that he has several birthmarks clustered together in the center of his chest. Those birthmarks corresponded closely with the fatal wound on Maha Ram as depicted by the forensic report by the coroner. Hanumant began to speak when he was about one year old. At the age of three, he was able to describe in more detail about his previous life as Maha Ram. He felt pain sometimes in the chest area. He visited Maha’s house and recognized many of Maha’s relatives. 10/29/2020 16
Jacinta Agbo, an Igbo of Nigeria, was born in 1980. She has a birthmark of pale scarlike tissue surrounding her entire skull. She was identified as an reincarnation of a young man, Nsude Agbo, who died from a heavy blow of club to the head in a quarrel. Nsude was rushed to the University Hospital in Enugu and was operated upon. The physician made an incision and removed the top part of the skull to clean up the fractures of bone. Nsude died shortly after in 1970. The medical record cannot be retrieved unfortunately due to civil war in Nigeria from 1967 to 1970. Many official records and documents were scattered and/or destroyed. This is a reincarnation case of sex change. Enugu was a young man while Jacinta is a baby girl. However as Jacinta grew up, the follow up investigation by Dr. Stevenson’s colleague has found that Jacinta had shown definitely masculine traits. 10/29/2020 17

Case Studies 10/29/2020 33
Case of Anne Frank/Barbro Karlen 少女安妮的日記 Anne Frank died in the Nazi Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp in 1945. Barbro Karlen was born to a Christian family in Sweden in 1954. When she was 3 years old, she told her parent that her name was Anne Frank. Her parent had no idea who Anne Frank was, because Anne Frank’s book “Diary of A Young Girl” was not published yet. During her childhood, Barbro told her parent details of her life as Anne. Barbro had a fear of men in uniform, and hated beans because Anne existed on beans for 2 years. When she was 10, her parent took her to visit major cities in Europe, including Amsterdam, Holland. From their hotel, Barbro was able to lead her parent to her old hiding place, now a museum, a ten miles walk through the narrow and winding streets. She pointed to an empty wall and declared this is where she hang the newspaper clippings. The local guide admitted that they had just removed the clippings to have them framed. Both Anne Frank and Barbro Karlen are great writers. 10/29/2020 34
Case of Dorothy Dandridge/ Halle Berry Dorothy Dandridge (1922 to 1965) was nominated in 1954 for an Academy Award as the first Afro-American Best Actress for her role in “Carmen Jones”; she lost to Grace Kelly. In 1959, she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award; she lost to Marilyn Monroe. She died in 1965 of an overdose of antidepressant. Halle Berry (1966 to now) won an Academy Award in 2002 as Best Actress for her role in “Monster Ball. ” She was the first black actress to win an Oscar Best Actress Award. She co-produced and starred in a film on the life of Dorothy Dandridge, which won her an Emmy and a Golden Globe Award. 10/29/2020 35
Case of John B. Gordon/Jeffrey Keene General John Gordon (1832 -1904) was a civil war hero in the Confederate Army under the command of General Robert E. Lee. He served as the 53 rd Governor of Georgia. Jeffrey Keene - perhaps the greatest circumstantial evidence supporting the reality of reincarnation without using hypnotic regression – is a decorated firefighter and an assistant fire chief in Westport, Connecticut. In 1991, he visited the Antietam Battlefield in Maryland. He received a strange and strong sensation at a locale called Sunken Road where John Gordon was seriously wounded almost 130 years ago. He began to research John Gordon since. Keene and Gordon shared many traits – standing posture, clothing tastes, etc. Most amazing fact is that they have almost identical scars on their bodies. 10/29/2020 36
Case of Amistad African Slave Cinque/ Martin Luther King, Jr. Cinque, Grabeau, Banna, Fuli, Kimbo, Kenna, and Margru were African slaves captured in Sierra Leone in 1839 shipped to Havana, Cuba on the slave ship Amistad. They revolted and killed the crew and sailed to USA. They were caught by the US Revenue Patrol Ship near Long Island brought to Connecticut for trial. The case was finally ruled by the Supreme Court in 1841 in favor of the slaves. Martin Luther King (1929 – 1968) was a civil right leader and fought all his life to bring equality to the Afro-Americans. He was born in Georgia and often worked summer jobs in Connecticut. He spent time behind bars many times in his quest for social justice and freedom. Cinque and King were both gifted orators with great courage. Many contemporary civil right leaders were identified as reincarnated Amistad slaves: Jesse Jackson as Banna; Andrew Young as Fuli; Stokely Carmichael as Kimbo; Malcolm X as Kenna, Coretta Scott King as Margru; Kweisi Mfume, President of NAACP as Roger Baldwin, defense lawyer in Amistad trial. 10/29/2020 37

Notable Quotes 10/29/2020 42
Evidence of Reincarnation “I believe it is better to learn what is probable about important things than to be certain about trivial ones. ” Dr. Ian Stevenson 10/29/2020 44
Evidence of Reincarnation Each individual is the sum total of all that he or she has ever been. The final goal is “soul growth”, leading to an awareness of “oneness” with the rest of Creation. It is achieved as each soul continually weighs the experiences of the past against the opportunities and free will of the present. The success of the soul is inevitable, it is simply a matter of time. Edgar Cayce 10/29/2020 45
Evidence of Reincarnation “You are not here by accident or by some coincidence of nature. You are a “spiritual being” learning lessons of love in this Earth school. ” Brian Weiss, MD 10/29/2020 46
Evidence of Reincarnation “I shall not commit the fashionable stupidity of regarding everything I cannot understand as fraud. ” Dr. Carl Jung – student of Dr. Sigmund Freud 10/29/2020 47

Poincare 10/29/2020 48
Evidence of Reincarnation “The whole history of scientific advance is full of scientists investigating phenomena that the establishment did not believe were true. ” Anthropologist Margaret Mead 10/29/2020 49
