Arnell Bloxham, president of the British Society of Hypnotherapists used hypnotic regression to record patients' memories of what could be previous lives. In one case a Welsh housewife, Jane Evans, remembered being a twelfth-century Jewess in York. She described how they were persecuted and took shelter in the crypt of a small church just outside the copper gates. The church was identified as St. Mary's Castlegate, but it did not have a crypt. However just recently workmen found a crypt under the altar.
Some novels appear to be based on memories of past lives.
Joan Grant's Winged Pharaoh for instance reveals detailed knowledge of life in Egypt three thousand years before Christ. They Believed in Reincarnation. I am also the reincarnation of one of the greatest of all Spanish mystics St John of the Cross. My opinion is that we shall be reincarnated. He never wasted a leaf or a tree.
