Past Lives by John Van Auken
Words from songs about reincarnation are as haunting as the subject of reincarnation itself. Do we all have a sense that we were someone else before?

A series of reincarnations leads to higher consciousness.
Have you ever had one of those moments of feeling that you have been here before? Reincarnation is a possible answer. Many believe that we are all souls passing through a new and different life.
Edgar Caycee, a man who got through the entire Bible every year, found no conflict between his Biblical beliefs, and knowledge of reincarnation.
The knowledge of our past lives gets buried in the subconscious. Yet there are ways to get some of the memories to surface. Another belief is that knowing who you were in past lives will help get through some issues in the current life.
At certain times memories of past life may come to haunt the subconscious mind in strange ways. An irrational fear of fire, or drowning comes to fore. Is it possible that a former life ended in a disaster involving either of these fears?
You instantly hit it off with someone you meet. Was this a sister or a mother in a different lifetime? Someone who was your enemy in one lifetime is reincarnated, but the friction of the animosity may flare up in a new acquaintance. A past life connection may not be recognizable right away.
The author, John Van Auken, reveals mysteries of the other lives. He outlines reasons for evolving in and out of various lifetimes, how the current life is affected, and more. Van Auken is a devout believer, and maintains that God is the source of all life. He states that all of the religions are actually worshipping one God.
A number of chapters are dedicated to one woman’s passage through several lifetimes beginning before Christ. She was in the group that first realized that Christ had arisen after the crucifixion. She and Christ evolved in and out of many reincarnations together as different people with different roles. The last known reincarnation was her association with Edgar Caycee.
In depth explanation of the why and wherefore behind the intertwining lives is easy to understand. The focus points to the soul as the heart of reincarnation.
