Dear
Sirs
I would like to
comment on the article entitled the Science of Reincarnation and the subsequent
comments by your readers.
My name is Bob
Good and I wrote the book, The Science of Reincarnation. For verification go to
www.thescienceofreincarnation.com.
What is lacking
from the article and the subsequent comments is
context.
Studying children
who remember past lives is only one area of study. Others include past life
regression and near-death experiences. Your readers could argue that none of
these have been proven as fact and they would be
right.
But other areas of
study that are considered to have been proven are remote viewing(Stanford) the
universal human ability to influence remote systems(The intention experiments,
Princeton) and clairvoyance(the University of
Toronto).
These six areas or
disciplines are not the only disciplines within the science of reincarnation,
which encompasses the study of nonlocal consciousness. It was outlandish 40
years ago to think remote viewing was possible. Yet when all these
manifestations of nonlocal consciousness are looked at as a group the real
possibility exists that reincarnation may be our
reality.
Dr. Tucker’s work
needs to be supported by UVA. But a greater analysis needs to be done
incorporating other disciplines and I would hope UVA would join with UNLV, the
University of Miami, and the University of Toronto to create a joint database
for near-death experiences, past life regression, and clairvoyance as well as
the work Doctor Tucker is doing.
Is not too early
to begin discussions about the geopolitical, cultural, gender, social and
religious ramifications this new science engenders. This science, like all
sciences, treats us equally and removes any arguments for a radical or
conservative position. In short the logic behind radical fundamentalism will
collapse. Again context; this isn’t about anybody who is living, it is about
leaving future generations a fact based logic driven view of reality. This
cannot be done without work like Dr. Tucker is
doing.
Your readers
rather than criticizing the University for supporting this research should take
pride in what is being done at UVA and realize that all science is interrelated.
That means Dr. Tucker needs to draw on even more resources not just for his
primary research but also to correlate his findings with the work done at other
institutions. An important aspect is to create a joint curriculum with these
other institutions. Until that is done misimpressions will
abound.
I hope my short
note adds clarity and context to this discussion.
Very truly
yours
Bob
Good
