Many Lifetimes"Whether you approach it as a believer, a skeptic, or merely an open-minded individual just interested in the unchartered areas of human existence, Many Lifetimes is an unusual and disturbing book. Basically, it is about reincarnation. In a wider sense, it is a startling, fresh approach to physical and mental illness, uniting the thinking of an 'analytically-oriented' psychiatrist with Joan Grant's extra-sensory abilities, particularly the recalling of past lifetimes. Denys Kelsey, using hypnotherapy, found that many patients could be regressed not only to infancy but also to birth, to experiences while in the womb, and even to the moment of conception. Soon after he met Joan Grant, in 1958, he realized that by the use of the same hypnotherapy, he could enable some patients to extend their recall to earlier lifetimes. Joan Grant had developed a remarkable 'far memory,' enabling her to recall in minute detail previous lives, male and female, lived in dynastic Egypt, America, Italy, England, and other places. Consequently she was sometimes able to help her husband's patients by perceiving the relevant incidents of their earlier lives, thus providing independent checks on the accuracy of their recall. Some of the case studies described in this book rank among the most extraordinary in the history of psychotherapeutic medicine. The authors have achieved dramatic results in showing patients that the origin of their present problems often lies in the events in past incarnations. The authors fully recognize how controversial their beliefs may seem to some people. The success of their therapy offers convincing evidence of the validity of their approach on such diverse subjects as parenthood, dangers of jealousy, one-upmanship, the alarming insights of infants, and the causes and effects of ghosts."--front and back flaps. |
