Great find! I have read a great deal on the subject. The best book covering this material I've come across is
Mind Probe Hypnosis by Dr. Irene Hickman who stumbled on the
phenomenon while searching for underlying reasons for patients with symptoms and no medical causes (such as asthma).
I was able to recall some past life memories during meditation. I used to have a crippling fear of heights, with no reason for such a fear. In
meditation, I had a vivid memory of falling off a castle wall while intoxicated. Since recalling this, I am no longer terrified of heights.
According to Einstien, energy never dissipates, and organized energy never disorganizes. The mind, the soul, whatever term you wish to use is merely
organized energy. So why couldn't such disembodied energy enter into a blank biological receptical (a newborn). According to Dr. Hickman's
accounts, that is when the 'soul' enters the body, at birth.
According to my spiritual beliefs, we keep coming back to learn, and we choose which vessel will best accomodate us in learning the current lesson we
need to learn.
