Reincarnation/Expert Profile

Expertise

I can answer questions on reincarnation, personal past life research, famous past lives, and alternative memory theories (otherwise known as: if it's not reincarnation, what is it?) I DO NOT DO PSYCHIC READINGS - there is no quick answer to who you may have been in a past lifetime. But I can help you find the ways to uncover the past life memories you have within.

Experience in the area

I have written a workbook for past life recall called Going Past, which will be re-issued in an updated version in the near future. I run a discussion group called The Reincarnation Cafe, and a comprehensive website called The Reincarnation Compendium. I have just launched a youtube channel called Far Memory, http://www.youtube.com/farmemory which offers a selection of videos on past life recall.

Publications

I have new books coming out within the next few months on Amazon.com: "Psychic Sensibility," which is coming out in June 2009, and "The Waterhouse Witch," which is an account of my own past life discoveries. For other writing, you will find the most pertinent examples on the internet, at the Reincarnation Compendium: http://home.earthlink.net/~reincarnationcafe, and at The Chip Coffey Message Board, for which I am the moderator: http://chipcoffey.proboards45.com/

Education/Credentials

My work in reincarnation developed as I researched my own past lives, and discovered the best ways for conducting personal past life recall. I have been writing regards reincarnation and related matters since 1997, primarily on the internet.

What do you like about this subject?

I love that this is a field that not only encompasses spiritual belief, but is proving its possibilities within the realms of science. My personal experience with past life recall has taught me that we have only begun to realize what is possible within ourselves.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I want to help a wider cross-section of people to understand what reincarnation is and is not. Many believe that reincarnation is the property of New Age thinkers. I have known a wide range of people, from non-believers to people of all faiths, who believe in the possibilities of past life recall.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Scientific and psychological research regarding reincarnation concentrates heavily on the accounts related by very young children: so it may be the only field in which toddlers can be viewed as "expert" witnesses!

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

Usually the first thing that pops to people's minds is that everyone claims a famous past life. There are actually not that many out there that can be proven. I have evidence that I did have a famous past life. However, it is one instance out of many I recall. I deal with the famous person's personal issues - the fame doesn't seem real to me.
