Declassified Pentagon report suggests that reincarnation really exists

The report, which was written back in 1983, makes the bold assertion that 'consciousness never dies'.
Do we reincarnate after death and go on to live a whole other life as someone else ?

Many people think so and there have even been cases of very young children who seemed to possess inexplicable knowledge about their past selves that has later been independently verified as true.

According to one declassified Pentagon file, even US Army Intelligence officials believed (at least at one point) that reincarnation could actually be a very real phenomenon.

Written in 1983, the 29-page report - entitled "Analysis and Assessment of The Gateway Process" - was penned by US Army Lieutenant Colonel Wayne M McDonnell and was commissioned in relation to a highly secretive project - known as Gateway - which was described as "a training system designed to bring enhanced strength, focus and coherence... to alter consciousness."

This process reportedly involved shifting the consciousness of participants "outside the physical sphere so as to ultimately escape even the restrictions of time and space."
It turned out that the project may have inadvertently discovered evidence of reincarnation when participants began to remember "all the memories accumulated through experience in reality."

In other words, they claimed to have been able to recall details of their own past lives.

That said, it is important to note that the entire project was highly controversial to say the least, meaning that any reincarnation-related discoveries to come out of it were anything but definitive.

Even so, the report itself is definitely worth a read for those with an interest in the subject.

You can find the declassified report on the CIA's website - here.

Yes, I did the DNA test, including ancient bloodlines. I am half Norse, 20% greek/italian 20% Slavic then the rest Iberian, and—surprisingly—3% Chinese, likely due to the Mongol invasions. This mix is fairly typical for the parts of Europe I come from. Interestingly, there was no African or Native North American ancestry detected. Yet, I have vivid dreams that tell a different story. In one, I was an African father grieving the loss of his daughter. I woke up emotionally affected as I was him; 2 days I had that sick girl and experience in my mind. I also remember the house I lived in with ... [More]

For anyone who hasn't read the actual report, it's simply a deion from 1983 of the Gateway Process, which Robert Monroe pioneered. The report just says "This is what these people are saying." It doesn't suggest anything other than "more study is needed." IIRC, this was part of Jim Channon's attempts to infuse some Eastern Mysticism into the Army to "Be All That You Can Be" in the Army. FWIW, Robert Monroe's books are worth a read.

Because it's not "East" or "West" but started in the middle of everything. Italo-Celtic, Baltic, Iranic, Greco-Armenian and Indic tradition all has a common origin with the PIE folks. Your gods and beliefs are all the same.

For karmic reasons, we have to experience things in this life according to the law of cause and effect. I think it's all connected. And it's not a free choise, otherwise we would all be reincarnated as princes or billionaires.

That's just silly. Why would anyone need to experience being a sociopath or something like Williams Syndrome. There's nothing to gain there.

That whole Karmic thing... It's easier to believe Jesus walked on the surface of an ocean than to believe that the Universe is taking notes on what people do or don't do. Whatever we do...whatever we don't do....there are consequences for both.  Bad things happen to good people. Good things also happen to good people.  Good and bad things happen to all people. Karmic Silliness with Reincarnation Silliness as it's reward.

Well, you know the teaching. Roles change, and causes from past lives slap us in the face. From the human perspective, your view is understandable, but something tells me the law of cause and effect works differently from what we think. And I don't say that I understand it completely.

Not in my sect of Zen. You die and your energy joins with the Universe.  End of story. And among my people how that happens is the soul splits in two and your "base" is absorbed by the Earth and your "higher" joins with the Encompassing Spirit.

In "my" teaching your energy joins with the Universe when you reach enlightenment. Before that you need to learn lessons and thrive otherwise you will always be entrapped in this prison. Even those who reach enlightenment are sometimes sent back to Earth to teach the rest of us. This concept is explained very nicely in the book 'God speaks' by Meher Baba. It explains the evolution of the spirit.  Still, I'm not saying that my teaching must be right and your must be wrong. That would be silly and it would make me look like some religious fruit cake. ?

My teaching is a little bit different...you don't need to take notes by the way...I'm writing it all down for you! Life consists of individual life forms.  Those individual life forms procreate to continue the existence of the individual.  Each new wasp is an individual wasp.  It contains memory of wasps from forever ago.  But it is it's own wasp...sure it belongs to a colony of other individual wasps but it is a wasp.  One.  One wasp.  When it dies it is dead...gone...end of individual existence.  Before it was a wasp it was pollen on a flower.  Before the pollen was pollen it was a ...
