MacGregor Ministries, A Christian Outreach to those trapped in cult groups. Scientologists emphasize this practice, but now many non-religious practitioners are engaged in this activity also. It all boils down to a basic belief in reincarnation. This is the basically Hindu teaching that when you die, your soul is reborn in another human. Transmigration is the related teaching that you recycle in other life forms, such as animals, insects, etc.
Reincarnation limits the recycling to humans.
Belief in reincarnation is found in astrology, psychic groups, rebirthing sessions, and parapsychology practices. Hypnotism plays a large part in these so-called regressions to a former life. No, for hypnotism, which involves an emptying of the mind is not for Christians. Christians are to have their minds filled with the things of God. Also, a knowledge of the Bible would prevent Christians from being drawn into these wrong practices.
