About this product
Product Information
Signs of Reincarnation provides the first comprehensive look at the belief in reincarnation and the evidence for past lives from historical records, anthropological studies, and contemporary research. Matlock discusses various ways the evidence may be interpreted and shows that although reincarnation entails a rejection of the materialist notion that consciousness is generated by the brain, it does not require the acceptance of any radically new concepts or the abandonment of well-established findings in mainstream psychology or biology. This book offers students, scholars, and anyone interested in the possibility of reincarnation an essential grounding in beliefs, cases, and theory, while opening doors for future research into the extension of consciousness beyond our present lives.

This is an aptly titled book. Matlock is a research fellow at the Parapsychology Foundation of New York, and his thesis is that reincarnation actually occurs and is not just a fantasy. In the introduction the author writes that "because beliefs about reincarnation provide the backdrop against which the evidence appears, [he] gives some attention to beliefs but ... focuses on the interaction between belief and experience rather than on beliefs as strictly intellectual data." He goes on to define reincarnation and address its challenge to materialism; summarize signs, beliefs, and customs in animistic cultures; and provide a brief history of belief in rebirth and karma (the effect one's beliefs and actions have on future lives). In the remaining chapters he discusses his research methods and studies principal signs of reincarnation, secondary signs, and recollections of past lives. The final chapter describes the process of reincarnation. Matlock's thesis is impossible to prove, but so are other views of the afterlife, for example biblical views of heaven and hell. Summing Up: Recommended. All readers., Matlock has written the first comprehensive exploration of reincarnation across cultures. Signs of Reincarnation should be read by anyone seriously interested in the many facets of reincarnation., Matlock writes a compelling history and analysis of the data supporting cases suggestive of reincarnation. As a neuroscientist, I believe that the data from many cases reported by Matlock and others concerning memories of past lives, cannot be easily explained by any other alternative hypothesis., Matlock's work, particularly his processual soul theory, deserves to be carefully considered by all hard scientists, psychologists, anthropologists, and philosophers, especially in the context of our materialistic world and our understanding of science., This is an aptly titled book. Matlock is a research fellow at the Parapsychology Foundation of New York, and his thesis is that reincarnation actually occurs and is not just a fantasy. In the introduction the author writes that "because beliefs about reincarnation provide the backdrop against which the evidence appears, [he] gives some attention to beliefs but ... focuses on the interaction between belief and experience rather than on beliefs as strictly intellectual data."

The final chapter describes the process of reincarnation. Matlock's thesis is impossible to prove, but so are other views of the afterlife, for example biblical views of heaven and hell. Recommended. All readers., [Matlock] discusses historical and cultural beliefs in reincarnation, methods used to study reincarnation, studies involving children, studies involving adults with past-life memories, and ideas about the process of reincarnation... [T]his book is one of the single best resources for the study of reincarnation available today., An excellent introduction to the important but little-known body of evidence for human rebirth. James Matlock relentlessly and properly confronts traditional beliefs, the behavior of would-be critics, and recent attempts to provide conceptual frameworks accommodating rebirth data. A major contribution!, In this cogently reasoned, appropriately critical, and extremely well sourced book, Matlock makes a strong case for the reincarnation hypothesis, largely by demonstrating that it accounts for the full range of data and case reports better than the paranormal and conventional alternatives. A must read for anyone with a scholarly interest in post-mortem survival and an open mind.

Ok so I ordered this item listed as having free shipping. It was listed at $43.54 with free shipping. Somehow I ended up being charged $65.52. Then after waiting 3 weeks and having absolutely no tracking information I spoke with the seller who agreed to send a replacment, but despite charging me extra money was unwilling to ship that replacment in a way that wouldn't take atleast 3 more weeks. Ultimately this was a complete waste of time and the seller is not one that I would recommend.

This is not a coloring book!!!!! It’s just a book of black and white photos and even if colored over would look horrible! This book is a scam and I have received 2 items out of 3 I ordered and the third hasn’t even been shipped. Tried to message seller but only option given is to send the item number but no way to give reason for dissatisfaction with item! I would advise not ordering anything from this seller…
