Welcome!  Is reincarnation real?  It's a commonly held belief around the world, and even the Bible has passages that some construe as supporting past lives.  But the most convincing evidence consists of:

- Young children who talk about their past life.

- Adults who have conscious memories of past-lives. 

- Little known biographical or historical facts uncovered during regression hypnosis or dreams that are later verified by research.

- Strangers who separately recall under hypnosis being together during the same past-life scenario.

- People who assume, under hypnosis, the personality of a past life character and speak in a foreign language they never knew (called xenoglossy).

- People undergoing a near-death experience who meet spirits of the deceased who say they will reincarnate.

   So why try to find out who you were in your past lives?

- Think of it as "soul genealogy."

-  Who you were helps determine who you are now.  Sometimes it explains the problems you have in life. 

- You may have a talent or skill from a previous incarnation that lies hidden and can be utilized now.

- Your present relationships can sometimes be understood by your having known those people in a previous life.

- Although rare, you might have been famous in a previous incarnation.


   If you remember having a past life, or heard your child talking about his or her previous existence, I'd like to hear your story.    Just contact me.


   This site includes lots of proposed current and past life matches for your consideration and, perhaps, amusement.   Bear in mind that none of the matches I propose are confirmed.  They're just conjecture based on appearances and commonalities.  In my own case, there is also the matter of synchronicities (meaningful, timely coincidences) as possible evidence. 

But there is no scientific proof of reincarnation because verifying it is not amenable to the scientific method.  If reincarnation were subject to a legal standard, such as "preponderance of evidence", I believe it would win its case.  This isn't a court of law, however.

But as an intelligence analyst, I was tasked to make  estimates despite large gaps in the available intelligence and often bogus information.  So what I've presented in this website is based on the standards of the intelligence community.  That is, a best guess.

- See My Case for an account of the search for my own past lives. (If you're a psychic who reads this and you have any impressions regarding the matches indicated, or have any other ideas, please let me know!)

- See Obama Circle for an account of why I believe that many Nazis reincarnated together as a group,  mostly in Chicago.

- See Republicans for my matches with mostly American founding fathers.

- See Other People for all other cases concerning everyone from historical figures to politicians to movie stars.

    (Yes, this is a picture of me as of 2012.) I'm a retired intelligence analyst  with 25  years at the Defense Intelligence Agency and two years at the National Counter-Terrorism Center who is now researching reincarnation.  I'm also a certified hypnotherapist with years of experience doing past-life regressions.  

   I've included a Methodology section to help you figure out who you were for yourself.  Under the Hypnosis Facts section, you can find a video to do your own past-life regression. If you live in the Charlotte, North Carolina area and would like to experience a past-life regression from me, just contact me for details.

   I also have an Articles section where you can contribute your own story.  Just contact me.

   If you believe you were a historical figure in a past life, any details you relate under hypnosis might be verifiable.  Likewise, if you're a celebrity now, it could mean you were a celebrity in a past life.   In either case, I'd like to regress you under hypnosis for research purposes.  Just contact me.
