Though his death garnered media attention, the mysteries before and after his death were never shared. Brian foresaw his future, gave himself a going away party, and left good-bye gifts and a note telling his parents not to worry about him. After his death, Brian’s influence continued. His father—a rational physician who did not believe in metaphysical phenomena—embarked on a mystical journey through grief into a creative world he did not know existed. What he learned by healing stretched the capabilities of his reasonable mind.

Dr. Gregg Korbin

Dr. Korbon has also had a long-standing interest in outdoor education and is a senior facilitator at the University of Virginia’s Poplar Ridge challenge course. While an undergraduate at Duke, he created a weeklong adventure course for incoming freshmen, now called Project W.I.L.D. (Wilderness Initiative Learning at Duke), which became a model for many university outdoor programs. He holds a black belt in tae kwon do, a brown belt in judo, and has logged over forty thousand miles as a bicycle commuter. Dr. Korbon has known challenge and pain, but it was only through the death of his son that he found their common source. He lives in the Blue Ridge Mountains of central Virginia with his wife and children. More info at: www.beyondreason.info

Dr. Sabine Lucas

Since 1987, Dr. Lucas has been in private practice in Santa Fe, where she is licensed as a Professional Mental Health Counselor. Although her interest in past life dreams and the concomitant self-exploration goes back to 1976, it has been part of her clinical practice only for the last fifteen years. In the course of this time, she has been able to develop my own unique method of working with past life dreams and of integrating past life material in such a way that it enriches and empowers, while keeping the person balanced and grounded. Sabine is a member of the International Association for Analytical Psychology, of the Association of Graduate Analytical Psychologists of the C.G. Jung Institute, Zurich, and a diplomate of the American Psychotherapy Association. More info at: www.pastlifedreams.com

An uplifting collection of spiritually illuminating texts and powerfully thought-provoking real life stories, showing death as an integral part of life. These touching observations of closeness to someone who is in the dying process, and personal accounts of near-death experiences and after-death communication, illustrate how coming to terms with the inevitability of death is actually a life-affirming experience. These emotionally evocative and inspirational experiences address timeless questions and help expand our limited awareness of the nature of consciousness. They show how each of the individuals concerned has come to understand that death teaches us that the preciousness of life must be lived with a sense of purpose and meaning, as a celebration of our existence.

The 61 beautifully illustrated, color Reincarnation Cards are specially designed to call up intuitional glimpses into other incarnations. They depict a variety of scenes from five categories, including diverse historical periods, occupations, cultures and manner of termination, all designed to provoke “far memories” of both past and future incarnations.

The Book: The 206-page, cloth-bound, hardcover book gives detailed instructions on how the cards are to be used to recall such far memories by following a carefully designed system embedded within this set, for which patents are pending. The chapter “The Evidence” presents solid scientific, physical and anecdotal evidence for reincarnation. A summary of quantum physics breakthroughs and their relevance to understanding this phenomenon includes quotes from such respected scientists as Planck and Einstein.

This approach provides a fresh look at the stunning implications of quantum physics for understanding the true nature of time, space, consciousness and the paranormal. The advancing frontier of modern research, where science meets mysticism, confirms philosophic insights from the ageless past. By presenting a philosophical framework to bring greater clarity and understanding of reincarnational experiences, the authors enable readers independently to gain an insight into who they really are and their purpose in the universe.
