I invite your questions about reincarnation, especially from a religious perspective. What the various religions teach on this subject, possible religious significances of past life memories and so on. How does reincarnation, transmigration and the laws of karma, dharma and marga work. Understanding the biblical gilgul neshamot (the cyclical rolling of souls) as accepted by Jews. Methods of drawing out your past life memories. Sometime what we need most is someone who will believe us and who will listen as we process. I'm all ears.
You can share with me.

Experience in the area

Since 1969 I've had a recurring dream/memory of my past life that has been confirmed to my satisfaction. This has led me to explore this topic on my own, with fellow seekers, with teachers of various traditions East and West, and at university. As an authentic Messianic Jewish rabbi I am convinced that reincarnation is part of God's plan for global restitution.

Education/Credentials

Ordained Messianic Jewish rabbi. Rosh yeshiva (headmaster) of Yeshiva Beth HaShem MA religious studies Ordination in interfaith counseling Ordinations in Baptist, Calvary Chapel, ULC Recognition as a Vaisnava Brahmin Rite of Welsh Traditionalist priesthood Active participation in diverse traditions East and West The School of Hard Knocks

What do you like about this subject?

My only purpose here is to offer assistance to other spiritual seekers.
