M.J. Rose

Our thanks go out to Dr. Amit Goswami from The Center for Quantum Activism for answering this week’s Reincarnationist Q&A. Dr. Goswami and his theories on life and reality are the subject of The Quantum Activist, a feature length documentary. To find out more about the film click here. To educate yourself on Dr. Goswami’s revolutionary ideas please visit his website, here.

About Dr. Goswami: Retired Professor of physics from the University of Oregon’s Institute of Theoretical Science, Dr. Goswami is a revolutionary in a growing body of renegade scientists who in recent years have ventured into the domain of the spiritual in an attempt both to interpret the seemingly inexplicable findings of their experiments… and to validate their intuitions about the existence of a spiritual dimension of life.

A prolific writer, teacher and visionary… Dr. Goswami has appeared in the movie “What the Bleep do We know?”, The “Dalai Lama Renaissance“, and the recently released award winning documentary on his life and teachings: The Quantum Activist

THE QUESTIONS:

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

Wanting to integrate and having the ability to do it.

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

Have not meditated on this one.

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

Haven’t thought about this one much either.

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

Jesus, Buddha, and Einstein.

What do you think happens when we die?

Our physical body dies with all its content memory, but the nonlocal memory of our vital and mental propensities survive.  These propensities are then used by future people who are our reincarnations.

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

I refuse to think about this one.

“An FBI agent, tormented by a death he wasn’t able to prevent, a crime he’s never been able to solve and a love he’s never forgotten, discovers that his true conflict resides not in his past, but in a…Past Life.

Haunted by a twenty-year old murder of a beautiful young painter, Lucian Glass keeps his demons at bay through his fascinating work as a Special Agent with the FBI’s Art Crime Team. Currently investigating a crazed art collector who has begun destroying prized masterworks, Glass is thrust into a bizarre hostage negotiation that takes him undercover at the Phoenix Foundation—dedicated to the science of past life study—where, in order to maintain his cover, he agrees to submit to the treatment of a hypnotist.

Under hypnosis, Glass travels from ancient Greece to 19th century Persia, while the case takes him from New York to Paris and the movie capital of world. These journeys will change his very understanding of reality, lead him to question his own sanity and land him at the center of perhaps the most audacious art heist in history: the theft of a 1,500 year old sculpture from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

International bestselling author M. J. Rose’s The Hynpotist is her most mesmerizing novel yet. An adventure, a love story, a clash of cultures, a spiritual quest, it is above all a thrilling capstone to her unique Reincarnation novels, The Reincarnationist and The Memorist.”

The Author of the Reincarnationist Series Reveals Her Inspiration
By M.J. Rose (from More Magazine)

“What’s a nice Jewish girl who was a very successful ad exec in New York City doing writing novels about reincarnation? To answer that question I have to go back… not that far… but to when I was three years old and at a Seder.

The family was gathered around and my great great grandfather who was a Kabbalistic scholar was saying a prayer over the wine when I chirped up and told him something about a dinner he’d had at home in Russia when he was a child.

I was three. I didn’t even know what Russia was.

But, my mother later told me, because I don’t remember it, that he never finished the prayer.

I apparently had told him something that he’d never told anyone about, an embarrassing moment in the life of a 9 year-old boy, buried deep inside this 88 year-old man”…
