Can’t get rid of your memories? Call Death Bear

A shadowy, masked New Yorker relieves people of painful remnants of their pasts: love letters, photos, even underwear. To the man under the giant bear head, it’s performance art.

Reporting from New York – A biting wind whipped down a dark street, where a man crouched in the shadow of a building. He pulled on black gloves and glanced up and down the avenue. Satisfied that no one was watching, he pulled a mask the size of a beach ball out of a bag, pulled it onto his head and wriggled it into place: snout in front, eye holes over his own, rounded ears pointed skyward.

Death Bear was ready for his mission.

A man in the second-floor unit of a nearby apartment building in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn was desperate to get rid of something that was too torturous to keep but impossible to discard.

The anguished individual had turned to Death Bear, a macabre performance artist who silently walks the city streets in a one-man quest to relieve people of painful remnants of the past: love letters, photos, gifts, dog tags, underwear — a lot of underwear, it seems — anything that might reduce an otherwise well-functioning person to a sniffling wreck.

His service has spread through word of mouth and the Internet.

“Help me, Death Bear!” read a typical plea that flickered via text message onto his cellphone…

All of us here at The Reincarnationist blog are very excited about our Q&A with Danielle Trussoni, author of the bestselling new novel ANGELOLOGY. Enjoy!

THE QUESTIONS:

What is your most marked characteristic that you believe could be a hold over from a past life?

My desire to write. I knew from the time I was six years old that I wanted to write books.

What is your principle defect that you believe may be inherited from a previous incarnation?

I’m not sure if this is a defect, but I am terrified of war, and believe I was probably killed in one, most likely in Vietnam.

Which of your favorite heroes do you think you could have been and why?

I don’t have any heroes, and so I’m not sure how to answer this. I don’t believe I’ve every been anyone famous, or a historical figure. Most likely, I was a scorpion someone stepped upon.

What three people from history would you like to have over to dinner for a discussion about reincarnation?

Madame Blavatsky, Carl Jung and the Buddha.

What do you think happens when we die?

I don’t believe in the creation or extinction of spirit or matter and therefore it is inevitable that it translates into another form.

When you come back next time, who (or what!) would you like to be?

I simply hope to be human

Dr. Robert Lanza is the Biocentrism guy, but he is also a reincarnationist. Here’s a very interesting piece on reincarnation from this very astute scientist…

Do You Only Live Once? Experiments Suggest Life Not One-Time Deal

by Robert Lanza, M.D. Scientist; author, “Biocentrism” (From The Huffington Post)

We think we die and rot into the ground, and thus must squeeze everything in before it’s too late. If life — yours, mine — is a just a one-time deal, then we’re as likely to be screwed as pampered. But experiments suggest this view of the world may be wrong.

The results of quantum physics confirm that observations can’t be predicted absolutely. Instead, there’s a range of possible observations each with a different probability. One mainstream explanation, the “many-worlds” interpretation, states that there are an infinite number of universes (the “multiverse”). Everything that can possibly happen occurs in some universe. The old mechanical — “we’re just a bunch of atoms” ?- view of life loses its grip in these scenarios…
