Are you a parent whose child has experienced past life memories? Has your child ever mentioned memories of another life?
A Los Angeles TV production company* is looking for parents and children to participate in a new reality TV series.
The producers, Joke Fincioen and Biagio Messina, say that they are looking for children aged 2-10, preferably American, with tangible evidence of possible past life memories such as drawings, pictures, or video footage.
The Center for Michael Teachings announces the release of print versions of the original Michael transcripts from the 1970s — Michael Speaks: The Legacy of Sarah Chambers.
With those few words appearing on a Ouija board in August 1973, Sarah Chambers, her husband, and a few close friends, started a journey that took them far beyond anything they could possibly imagine.
With their new teacher “Michael”, they explored the unseen realm of the spiritual world. In doing so, they estabished a whole new spiritual teaching that helps us to know and become more of who we truly are.

Over the next few years, the Oakland-based group kept written transcripts of their meetings. Those transcripts were copied and passed around to friends and coworkers, and in time found their way to many, many others.
Speculating about the past lives of prominent individuals has become a pet hobby of mine. Because souls can develop expertise in a field over several lifetimes, I often wonder if someone highly accomplished today might have had a well-known and identifiable life before this one in a similar field of endeavour. It’s then a case of spotting facial similarity as well as other shared characteristics.
Here is what I came up with when I looked into Prof. Peter Higgs. He is the 83-year-old English physicist who gave his name to the “missing-link” particle which scientists now believe they finally have found: the Higgs boson.
Here’s a fascinating new take on the Michael Teachings -
Long-time Michael teachings student and channel Stephen Cocconi has been working on a set of Tarot divination cards based on the teachings.
A Tarot deck represents different archetypal influences that we can encounter during our human journey. But whereas the traditional medieval Tarot using symbols like Magician, Cups, Wands, Swords, etc., the archetypes represented in Stephen’s deck are all based upon the soul and personality energies as described in the Michael teachings.
David Sunfellow (right), head of the organization New Heaven New Earth, has compiled a 2-hour video on How Near-Death Experiences are Changing the World.
The video is based on talks about near-death experiences (NDEs) given by David in Sedona earlier this year.
It is split into two parts:
Part 1 (1 hr 7 min) gives an overview of the history of NDEs, their common themes and characteristics, and some global statistics. Unusually, perhaps, David begins by stating that NDEs can be related to the teachings of Jesus about the Kingdom of Heaven.
A well-known near-death experience (NDE) researcher and his wife have been arrested for allegedly endangering their own daughter.
I normally look for uplifting news to share but this is just too peculiar and potentially disturbing to ignore.
Dr. Melvin Morse, a paediatrician based in Delaware, is a co-author of Closer To The Light , a landmark study of NDEs in children. He has appeared on Larry King Live and the Oprah Winfrey Show to discuss his research.
Morse, 58, has been accused by his 11-year-old daughter of ‘waterboarding’ her — holding her face under running water. Waterboarding simulates drowning and it has been used in the past by U.S. interrogators on terrorism suspects. Many say it is actually a form of torture and should not be used at all.

There has been a lot of hype around the meaning of “2012″. This year’s IANDS Conference focuses on visions and prophecies associated with NDEs and what those experiences can tell us about the future of humanity.
People who have near-death and near-death-like experiences sometimes report receiving visions of the future. In some cases these are visions of a personal nature that are later proven correct.
Sometimes, visions are more general, relating to Earth and humanity. A vision can simply show a possible future or provide a note of caution. Still others are hopeful, showing a very positive outcome for humanity.
This Conference, entitled Visions: 2012 and Beyond, will focus on visions that can give us guidance for the future.
The Conference will be held from Aug 31 to Sept 2 at the DoubleTree Paradise Valley Hotel, Scottsdale, Arizona.
Keynote speakers include Dannion Brinkley (left), a three-time near-death experiencer and the author of Saved by the Light. During his NDEs, he received prophetic visions, a number of which have proven accurate.
Conference registration is now open.

Scientific explanations for near-death experiences are sometimes a lot less believable than the experiences themselves.
Parapsychology researchers Dr. Carols Alvorado and Dr. Christine Simmonds-Moore have asked me to announce that they are inviting members of the public to complete an online survey of psychic experiences.
Their website explains:
We are interested in learning more about a variety of human experiences, some of which are unusual, but are by no means uncommon in the general population. We are undertaking an online survey to explore individual differences, synesthesia (the tendency for some people to experience two senses together, e.g., colored words or numbers; tasting shapes; spatially organized calendars, etc.), and a variety of anomalous experiences (for example, extrasensory perception.
We would very much appreciate it if you would take the time to complete this online questionnaire, even if you have never experienced the things described on the questionnaire.
You can access the survey from this link: http://carlossalvarado.edublogs.org/2012/03/05/new-survey-study-of-psychic-experiences-and-synesthesia/
Please email Dr. Christine Simmonds-Moore (csimmond@westga.edu) if you have any questions about the survey.
Carlos is the Scholar in Residence at Atlantic University. He has been professionally involved in parapsychology since the 1980s. His previous research work has centered on the psychological study of out-of-body experiences and other phenomena. In recent times he has conducted survey studies of the general population on such topics as depersonalization experiences and imaginary companions.
Christine is a British-born psychologist working at the University of West Georgia. She is the editor of “Exceptional Experience and Health: Essays on Mind, body and human potential”, a co-author of text book on Anomalistic Psychology and is working on a book about the relationship between schizotypy and exceptional experiences.
One of the arguments often cited against the idea of reincarnation is that “the living outnumber the dead.”
In other words, there are more people alive today than have existed throughout the whole of human history combined. So, quite simply, there aren’t enough dead people for each of us living today to have had even one past life.
Technically, this need not rule out reincarnation. It could be that some of us have lived before while the rest of us are newcomers.
But that’s beside the point, because the idea that the living outnumber the dead is just plain wrong. It is an urban myth that has been around since the 1970s, and it is easily contradicted by both population studies and simple arithmetic.
Ben Breedlove, 18, died on Christmas Day from a heart attack. Since his death, a video he posted on YouTube has captured the world’s attention.
Ben Breedlove, a teenager with a dangerous heart condition that brought him close to death three times, finally died on December 25th, Christmas Day, 2011. A few days beforehand, however, he had posted a two-part video on YouTube telling his story and describing a series of near-death experiences.
Although she herself is very reluctant to admit it, everything points to an ordinary Canadian woman having been this famous novelist in a previous life.
Whenever someone claims to be the reincarnation of a well-known historical personality, a healthy dose of scepticism is generally required. I have lost count of the number of people claiming to be the reincarnation of Jesus, for instance.
This case is absolutely not one of those.
There is a very strong likelihood that Jewelle St. James, a health-care worker from British Columbia, is the reincarnation of the nineteenth-century novelist Emily Brontë, author of Wuthering Heights.
Yet Jewelle herself, despite having written several books on her search to uncover her past lives, has been most reluctant of all to accept this, and even since coming to terms with it she has been highly resistant to disclosing anything about it. To this day, she has not made any public reference to it.
She has, however, given me permission to tell the story.
