About the Book This
new edition of Henry M. Tichenor’s The Theory of Reincarnation
Explained provides timeless wisdom on the subject of reincarnation.
It offers the ideas, insights and thinking of the great Western and
Eastern philosophers and writers on the concept of reincarnation. Although
mainstream Christianity, Judaism, and Islam reject the belief in
reincarnation, studies show widespread public belief in reincarnation.
For example, a 2001 Gallup poll revealed that approximately twenty-five
percent of the population of the United States believes in
reincarnation. The
popularity of recent books such as Many Lives, Many Masters by
Brian L.Weiss and Journey of Souls: Case Studies of Life
Between Lives by Michael Duff Newton bear witness to the increasing
interest in the subject of reincarnation. These books, like some earlier
works such as Gina Cerminara’s Many Mansions: The Edgar Cayce Story
on Reincarnation, use hypnosis case studies to make the argument for
reincarnation. This book uses scientific evidence, psychological evidence, analogy, and logic along with the recollection of past lives to advance the argument for reincarnation. In addition, The Theory of Reincarnation Explained offers a clear, straight-forward discussion and analysis of the Yogi philosophy of the seven principles of man’s composition: the physical body, the astral body, Prana (the vital force), the instinctive mind, the intellect, the spiritual mind, and the Spirit. The editor has added material to the original work, deleted some material, and made some organizational changes to make The Theory of Reincarnation Explained more accessible to Twenty-first Century readers. Contents Introduction The Theory of Reincarnation in Western Philosophy and Literature The Philosophy of the East The School of Experience Conclusion A Few Quotations from The Theory of Reincarnation Explained It is not more surprising to be born twice than once; everything in nature is resurrection. —Voltaire The soul, if immortal, existed before our birth. What is incorruptible must be ungenerable. Metempsychosis is the only system of immortality that Philosophy can hearken to. ―David Hume By making the right use of those things remembered from the former life, by constantly perfecting himself in the mysteries, a man becomes truly perfect. ―Plato You cannot say of the soul, it shall be, or is about to be, or is to be hereafter. It is without birth. ―Bhagavad-Gita There
are today, as there have always been, many who remember. One need only
ask to find men and women who have a clear and definite vision of things
that befell them in other lives.―Charles
