Reincarnation On Trial
Dr. Peebles II
"If you think you want to return to the Earth, it's because you have not yet found God within, [the true self]."

The following is an excerpt from the memoirs of Dr. Carl and Anna Wickland. Dr. Peebles's comment concerning why people think they want to return is so important that it deserved special billing in a separate posting:

Why should you go back to being confined in a small body and have no will of your own?
Dr. Wickland, Thirty Years Among The Dead:
A venerable family friend, Dr. J. M. Peebles, former Consul to Turkey, world traveler and, for sixty years, an international lecturer on psychic science, passed on at the age of ninety-nine and has since spoken through Mrs. Wickland upon various occasions, sometimes bringing earthbound spirits for enlightenment.
EXPERIENCE, OCTOBER 4, 1922
Spirit: DR. J. M. PEEBLES.
Psychic: MRS. WICKLAND
... I was very glad to go. When I reached the spirit world I was glad to find such glory and happiness and beauty. I understood about the spirit world but it cannot be described. I cannot tell you how it is...
You can learn in one day here what it takes ten or twelve years to learn on earth. If you feel like seeing things, you travel...
Do not become hypnotized in any way by dogma, creed or belief, but find God within yourself and be free. Ask to hear, to see, to feel and to know God, then your eyes will be opened to spiritual things and [then] you will not want to come back to this earth life again.

Editor's last word:
See the "true self" page for a large collection of comments by various thinkers asserting that finding the "true self," God within, is the very heart of advancing spiritually - which cannot be accomplished by a return to the Earth.
Also, Dr. Peebles passed on in 1922. His testimony offered via Anna Wickland is some of the wisest and most helpful I’ve encountered over the years. However, during the last hundred years, extending to the present day, several other mediums have claimed that Peebles speaks through them. I have not reviewed them all but, one of them especially, to be frank, I do not believe that the Dr. Peebles we’ve known is speaking. The current version strikes me as a silly spirit, mouthing empty platitudes, babbling, moreover, at times, spewing nonsense, teachings contrary to natural law, of the sort that the 1922 Peebles would disown. One needs to be careful of identities as mischievous spirits are not unknown to impersonate a famous teacher.
