==Biography==
Roland Franklyn (died 1967) was the leader of a cult in Brichester, England, in the mid-1960s. The core of his cult's theology is that "the number of souls in the universe is limited...and that humanity must therefore acknowledge an infinite number of simultaneous incarnations." In January 1964, he published his cult's dogma in We Pass From View (True Light Press). Among the claims made in the book is that the deceased must be cremated in order for the soul to be reincarnated. Otherwise, the "burrowers of the core may drag off his body from the grave with him still in it to the feast of Eihort." After his death, Franklyn himself, alas, was not cremated.
