“We lose money on every sale, but we make it up on volume” – an old joke from the retailing industry

I’ll talk about this masthead-joke later, but allow me to begin the discussion.

Within the circle of past-life regression adherents, there is a famous case, purportedly offering evidence of group reincarnation.

Here is a short youtube video presenting an outline of facts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33tflF3t-yE

Essentially, this is the situation. Thirty or more people, under hypnosis, spoke of sharing a “group past life” in a small town in Virginia during the 1860s.

As I listen and view the taped testimonies of the people involved, I see no reason to call their integrity into question. These seem honest and ordinary to me. I believe that they believe that what they report actually happened.

And I would concede that, like the earlier-discussed case of the lady from Australia finding evidence of her “past life” in England, what we find here, I would suggest, is evidence of survival of consciousness, but not reincarnation. There are other explanations far more supportive of the larger cache of research data than “R.”

Then what is the answer? Well, we can’t know for certain, but I’ll offer what’s most likely.

On the “Dark Realms” page, especially in the files concerning Franchezzo and his “wanderings in the spirit land,” we learn that there are vast territories in the dark sphere, far, far larger than the surface area of the Earth, in which hundreds of millions, a great horde, of criminal-spirits reside. And these malcontents “don’t go to sleep at night” without concocting some plan or ruse to deceive, or otherwise cause to stumble, the hapless inhabitants of our world.

We must look at all the evidence at our disposal. “R” can seem plausible, but only to the unknowledgeable, those who have not looked at all the research data. Further, we learned from Dr. Wickland and others that confused and/or wicked spirits get their jollies by attaching themselves to the unsuspecting on planet Earth. And it is these “hosts” who might begin to imbibe of the memories of the parasitical invader – memories which might be factually based, or simply concocted as mental images.

On the main-page of the reincarnation topic, the reader will find nearly 100 articles which quash the credibility of “R”, and this small mountain of evidence, contrary to the best interests of “R”, will not be overcome simply by the claim of thirty people, instead of one, sharing a so-called past-life.

And this is the reason for my allusion to the little joke, “we make it up on volume.” True-believers of “R” love to quote the Millboro case as if the greater numbers involved somehow substantiate the case for “R,” but greater “volume” – if you see what I mean – can not begin to make up for the fact that “we lose money on every sale,” that is, “R” does not find validation, but loss, from that larger storehouse of research data.

Is the Millboro case an example of conspiratorial effort from dark spirits? I don’t know. There’s some chance that this could be the work of confused spirits. However, what we do know is that, to state again, there are vast legions of criminal spirits in the dark-underworld spheres, often working in concert, who live and breathe only to cause trouble for the denizens of Earth.

Editor’s final note: Allow me say, one more time – though it’s so important that it can’t be said too often – we shall not find the truth concerning “R”, in this world or the next, until we have learned to “go within” to find the “true self,” the inner riches of the soul. See the “true self” page for much discussion on this.

I myself have been learning to “go within”, as per the instruction of the mystic teachers, for about 15 years now, and I can tell you this, from personal experience: when you access the inner life, be it only in snatches or glimpses, it will “instruct” you that the mantra of “more time”, which “R” preaches, can never move us one atom toward more spirituality; another life, or a thousand, would do us absolutely no good. More experience is not the core issue. What I say here will not be accepted by those who have not experienced this reality, but, again, it is the only way to come to certitude regarding the contentious issue of “R.”
