I can answer questions about reincarnation (from both Eastern and Western perspectives) and life after death, and how these topics relate to religion and spirituality.
I produced a documentary entitled "In Another Life: Reincarnation in America" which aired on PBS station KBDI in Denver, CO, Jan. 2003

I offer an online class on the subject and maintain an extensive educational website at www.ial.goldthread.com, as well as giving talks and radio interviews (archived on the website).

I'd like to learn more about how reincarnation interacts with genetics (I have some theories); and more about exactly how people can make decisions about what their next life will be like (there are some areas where you can choose).
Reincarnation has been proven scientifically, but has been rejected or ignored by mainstream science for cultural and "political" reasons, not for the quality of the research.
Birthmarks and congenital scars which have no other explanation or apparent cause, may be left over from the mental impressions of an injury in a previous lifetime. This has profound implications for the influence of past lives on one's health.
