Although it is often difficult to separate the concept of reincarnation from fearful thoughts of death, reincarnation is as much about beginnings as it is about endings. Perhaps if we focus on the lighter half of the equation we may be able to avoid the trap of fearing the unknown?

Tune in to The Best of Our Knowledge online and listen to their show Beginnings:

“Where do we come from? It’s a fair question. Physicist Michio Kaku says we’re the reverb of a Big Bang from another universe. No, says poet Stephen Mitchell – the answer’s in our creation stories. But midwife Ina May Gaskin knows where we really come from – mom. In this hour of To the Best of Our Knowledge we’ll talk about Beginnings.”

Also covered in the show is Dr. Jim B. Tucker’s book Life Before Life: A Scientific Investigation of Children’s Memories of Previous Lives (St. Martin’s Press). Dr. Tucker discusses his book and his research in the area of reincarnation.

Read a review of Dr. Tucker’s book from the Journal of Scientific Exploration.

Do family members reincarnate within the same family over and over?

…Author and reincarnation expert Carol Bowman discusses her son’s phobia which she believed was a holdover from a past life. Learn about this case and other fascinating, detailed cases of children who remember or act out specifics of their previous lives on the talk show Conversation for Exploration.

Conversation for Exploration is devoted to musing upon those age-old questions — Who are we? Where did we come from? Where are we going? What are we doing here, anyway? We do so by inviting researchers in an eclectic range of fields – consciousness studies, wisdom traditions, new theories in all the sciences, ancient mysteries, the unexplained, and the just plain fascinating – to talk with us and share their work in open-ended, open-minded, deep conversation.
