How many lives have you had already?

NDE

According to philosophy of Buddhism and other Eastern religious traditions we are in the cycle of continous death and  rebirth, and we might have had as many as 300 hundred lives on earth before our current incarnation. The concept called reincarnation is accepted by Eastern cultures and fully incorporated into their daily activities. Although there are some differences how this knowledge is being interpreted and understood between various Eastern religions and philosophies, there is dramatic difference in comparison to Western cultures, which largely depend on  Christianity and Judaism, which don't appear to touch on this concept at all. Apparently during early years of Christianity, there were so called sects (those in minority usually are considered as sects), which believed in reincarnation.

It is very difficult to prove or demonstrate reincarnation since it is not possible to replicate it in the lab, at least not yet. :)

Near Death Experiences (NDE) is another area which is still very controversial, yet it has been studied in scientific environments and numerous books have been written on this topic. Cases of NDE have been widely published in Mainstream newspapers. Below I'm providing links to some of the recent articles.

NDE demonstrates, that those who were declared clinically dead were still able to observe their environment, they could recall conversations, and describe rooms in which they were e.g. operated and had no prior knowledge of.

There are cases of children who can tell stories about certain historical events from the past and can recall names of people who were alive while those events took place. The early age of children from those cases and the little known historical events point to the fact that stories like these couldn't be created by those children from reading or hearing about them.

Here you can read about more NDE and past life stories.

We know that aura can be photographed. See video on The hisotory of aura imaging.

The next video is in Russian.

Doctor of technical sciences, Nikolai Zalicew says that not only you can take a picture of the aura, but also it is possible to weigh the soul. This was done through the experiment, which has been accomplished through the use of laboratory mice that were placed on super sensitive scale and then killed. Comparison of weight before and after the death of the mouse indicated that animal was slightly lighter. Energy signature of dying animal, was picked up by the gravitational field.




 



Similar experiments were done on humans, of course the measurements were done while the person was dying due to natural causes. The research in this area was led in 1907 by Dr. Duncan MacDougall of Massachusetts. It has been found that at the time of death, human body was lighter of about 3/4 ounces, which is equivalent to 21 grams.
