In the Program “Unidentified,” Luis Elisondo and Christopher Mellon Facilitate Validation of US Navy UFO Videos

My interest in ETs and UFOs was triggered by the US Navy’s validation of three videos of UFOs taken by fighter pilots from the US Nimitz and US Theodore Roosevelt. The image on top is of the “Tic Tac” UFO captured by a fighter pilot from the USS Nimitz in 2004 off the coast of Mexico south of San Diego.

The term “Tic Tac” was coined by pilot David Fravor who intercepted this UFO and witnessed incredible manuvers made by this craft that were far beyond the capability of aircraft built by humans. Fravor said the UFO was about 40 feet long, white and oval, similar to a giant Tic Tac candy breath mint. There were no wings or other features of conventional aircraft.

The image to the right and the image below are of  two UFOs that were captured on video by pilots from the USS Theodore Roosevelt during manuevers off of the US East Coast between Washington, DC and Jacksonville, Florida. The “Gimbal” UFO was captured rotating as it flew at high speed, reminiscent of a gimal attached to the bottom of an aircraft which can rotate keep a radar or video tract on an object while the aircraft is turning.

The “Go Fast” UFO was caught on video skimming the surface of the ocean at very high speed.

US Navy UFO Videos Deemed Genuine by US Navy

Luis Elizondo, Tom Delonge and Christopher Mellon, Leaders of Revealing Evidence of UFOs and Stars of the TV Series “Unidentified”

Two figures who have been instrumental in getting these videos released are Luis Elizondo, a retired US Army Intelligence officer and Christopher Mellon, a former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence. In addition, musician Tom Delonge of the rock group Blink 182 has also been a leader in the disclosure of governmental UFO information.

I thank these individuals for their work and their participation in the TV series: Unidentified: Inside America’s UFO Investigation

I hope that we can work together in the future.

The ET Species identified in these images will be discussed in our second article on ETs and UFOs.

Energy Templates that Create Life and Physical Appearance

When I was a biology major at the University of Illinois, I was initially agnostic-I didn’t know if God existed or not. Things changed when I took an upper level embryology course, in which I learned how a sperm and an egg joined, then proceeded create a human being.

I was amazed at how sheets of living tissues, formed from the original egg and sperm, moved magically to form complex structures such as the spinal cord and brain.

In the image provided below and to the right, the embryo has taken on a surfboard shape with the green tube at the top with a verticle slot representing the developing brain and spinal cord, the violet tube forming beneath it the digestive tract and the C shaped structures at the bottom of the image are the developing lungs.

I was aware of experiments in which conditions of the primordial Earth were recreated in tanks or vessels, in which building blocks of life, such as amino acids, were spontaneously created. In the human body, amino acids join together to create proteins.

The creation of amino acids under lab conditions does not explain how tissues formed in the embryo move on their own to create complex organs.

The only way I could envision how this magical dance occurred was that there was an invisible force, an energy template, that guided the formation of complex organs.

It was at this point that I decided that there had to be something like God, a guiding intelligence, that existed. This intelligence had to have created energy templates that biologic tissues would shape around.

Phyical Resemblance in Reincarnation Cases

We do observe an energy template that is involved in the creation of our physical appearance from one lifetime to another.  Childhood past life memory cases that have been objectively validated by Ian Stevenson, MD at the University of Virginia, have demonstrated similarity in facial features from one lifetime to another.

Physical resemblance in reincarnation cases is documented when there is a child who has sufficiently detailed past life memories that the past life family can be located. The past life family then verifies statements made by the child regarding the names of past life family members and facts that would only be known by members of the past life family. Typically, the past life family accepts the child as the reincarnation of their deceased loved one.

If a photograph of the child’s past life persona is available and the child can be followed over a period of 20 years to adulthood, Ian Stevenson noted that as an adult, the child could look exactly like their past life persona.

Reincarnation Physical ResemblanceOther researchers have observed the same phenomenon. Key cases from my book Born Again, which demonstrate physical resemblance from one lifetime to another, are provided below:

Ghost Photos Support that an Energy Template Influences Physical Appearance

Support for energy templates that correspond to physical appearance is also provided by a series of photos of a spirit body ascending from a teenager who had just died in a car crash, in which the spirit body looks exactly like the physical form of the teenager. To learn more, please go to:

Ghost PhotoAhtun Re, a Spirit Being Channeled through Kevin Ryerson, has Knowledge of ETs and UFOs

I have been working with trance medium Kevin Ryerson since 2001, on roughly a monthly basis. I found that Kevin channels a spirit being named Ahtun Re, who has demonstrated the ability to make past life matches with a high degree of accuracy.

Ahtun Re is the most intelligent and knowledgeable being I have interacted with in my entire life. My book, Origin of the Soul and the Purpose of Reincarnation, is made up of my dialogues with Ahtun Re regarding the big questions of life, such as how many times do we reincarnate and when does incarnation on planet Earth end.

Ahtun Re claims to have extensive knowledge of extraterrestrial civilizations and this is the first of a series of articles that I will be writing on ETs and UFOs, based on my conversations with Ahtun Re.

God’s Artificial Intelligence Programs Create Life

Ahtun Re agrees that the processes of embryology are controlled by energy templates which can be considered artificial intelligence programs, created by God to produce life. There are artificial intelligence programs for all the different species on Earth, including birds, reptiles, fish and so forth.

Artificial intelligence energy programs have also been involved in the formation of complex molecules, such as chlorophyll, which is the molecule responsible for plant life and for the generation of oxygen on planet Earth. Without chlorophyll, we would not exist.

The Male and Female Aspects of God

Ahtun Re has stated that God can be seen as having a male and female aspect. The female aspect intervenes in the lives of humans out of love, such as in the ressurection of Jesus.

The male aspect of God is the energy that powers life and the artificial intelligence programs that create life. The male aspect of God includes prana, which is the term for life energy in the Hindu religion. We are all alive because we have God’s energy, prana, flowing through us.

Humans Have Souls

All living things have prana. Living beings that reincarnate have a structure that we call the “soul,” which is an energetic storage device that contains memories of our past lives, as well as our spiritual DNA.

In the process in which our souls were created, we were imbued with specific abilities and talents. As such, scientists tend to reincarnate as scientists, theater people reincarnate as actors, visual artists reincarnate as sculptors, painters and the like. These issues are discussed in detail in Origin of the Soul and the Purpose of reincarnation. Our souls provide continuity throughout our incarnations.

Most animals do not have souls, though they do have prana, like all living things. In contrast, pets who have close relationships with humans can develop souls based on emotional bonds. People can reincarnate with pets they have loved in past lives.

Measuring the Technologic Advancement of ETs

In setting a measure for technological advancement, Ahtun Re suggested that we use the first use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in a machine made by a species. The definition of an AI machine would be a device that takes information from the environment, analyses the information and then makes operational decisions based on the environmental data, without the intervention of a human being.

A most familiar example of an AI machine would be a Tesla or other car with autonomous driving features. These vehicles have sensors around the car, as well as GPS input, and a computer in the car uses this data to activate systems in the car, such as braking to avoid a collision, without the participation of the human driver. In assessing the technologic advancement of ET civilizations, we will use the advent of AI machines as a benchmark.

Also please consider that we first achieved flight in the United States by the Wright Brothers in 1903 and then we landed men on the moon only 66 years later, in 1969. Also consider the rapid development of the Internet and computers. Once major technologic advancements are made, they can grow exponentially in a short period of time.

Spacefaring ETs Are at a Minimum 400,000 Years Ahead of Us Technologically-“Ancient Aliens” a Reality

With this in mind, Ahtun Re has revealed that all ET civilizations that visit Earth developed AI machines at least 400,000 years ago.  ETs, in other words, created the equivelent of a Tesla that long ago.

In general, Ahtun Re says that the ability to create technology to “bend space” to travel vast distances occurs about 200 years after AI machines are created. As such, in 200 years or so, we will have technology to travel across the universe.

ET’s have had the technology to bend space to travel great distances for at least the last 400,000 years and they have been visiting us for that duration of time.

As such, the premise of shows such as Ancient Aliens is valid. The details of ET vistations to our ancient civilazations on this show are often highly speculative, but the basic theme is true.

ETs Have Souls, Reincarnate and have Similar Artificial Intelligence Programs as on Earth, Created by God-Reincarnation as a Science

Extraterrestrials have evolved along the same lines of species development as on Earth, which includes insects, reptiles and mammals. Despite the diversity of species that make up ET bodies, spacefaring ETs all have human-like bodies in that they have a head, two arms to manipulate objects and two legs for mobility.

Ahtun Re has said that this is the most efficient physical form for beings of advanced intelligence. Still, there are differences based on the animal species ETs have evolved from.

Spacefaring reptilian ETs would have two arms and two legs, though the head would slightly resemble that of an alligator.

ETs that came from the insect line will have two arms and two legs, but these appendages may have multiple joints and there may be an exoskeleton. In addition, the head of a being that came from the insect line may have a head that is similar to that of a praying mantis.

Stop and think how you would react to a humanoid being, about your size with two arms and two legs, but with a head like a praying mantis, who you know is 400,000 years more advanced technologically than you!

That would be mind blowing for most, as we humans are used to being the most dominant species on Earth. Encounting beings much more advanced than us will be humbling and frightening.

Humanity’s Propensity for Violence Discourages Contact by Advanced ET Civilizations

We historically have been a violent species. We typically go to war based on differences in nationality, religion and ethnic affiliation. This continues today, where different sects of the Muslim religion, Sunnis and Shiites, fight among themselves and blow up their respective Mosques in conflict.

We go to war with ourselves, which has been a constant theme in our history. Spacefaring ETs understand this and anticipate that nations on Earth may respond to ET contact with war.

Not because ETs are hostile, but because they are so different than us in physical appearance and technologic advancement, they can be seen as threatening to us.

Humans and ETs are Brothers and Sisters in the Perception of God

Artificial intelligence energy programs created by God are also employed in the embryonic development of ETs, just as they are implemented in the development of life forms on Earth. We can concieve that the prana that gives us life is the same prana that gives ETs life. We are siblings expressing God’s life energy.

Spacefaring ETs also have souls and they develop spiritually through the process of reincarnation, just like human beings. Ahtun Re has indicated that for ETs, reincarnation has developed into a science.

Past Life Relationships
Burmese Sisters Reincarnate as Twins

For ETs, Reincarnation and Planning of Lifetimes is a Science-Ian Stevenson’s Twin Study

We know from studies of children with spontaneous past life memories, that souls plan lifetimes to be reunited with those that we have loved, known and worked with in prior incarnations.

This is most vividly demonstrated by Ian Stevenson’s Twin Study, in which 31 sets of twins had spontaneous past life memories in childhood that were objectively validated. Stevenson found that in 100 percent of these cases, the twins had significant relationships in their prior lifetimes.

The most common past life relationship was that of siblings, but the twins in their prior incarnations could also have been spouses or close friends. The Twin Study definitively shows that souls not only can plan lifetimes, but that souls can influence the process of conception to the point that two souls can engineer their reincarnations as twins.

We on planet Earth are not conscious of the reincarnation process, except for those who are familiar with the research of Ian Stevenson, MD at the University of Virginia.

In contrast, ETs’ understanding of the reincarnation process is so advanced that they plan lifetimes with great intent, so that they are born in the place and with the people they need to be associated with to carry out specific projects.

5 thomas edison elon musk reincarnationActually, venture capitalist Tim Draper shared with me his belief that we plan our incarnations consciously. Tim’s firm helped finance Elon Musk’s projects of Tesla and SpaceX. In a past lifetime, Musk was Thomas Edison and Tim, in that era, was also Edison’s financier.

The Goldilock’s Zone and Earth as a Disneyland for ETs-Concern About Global Warming and a Mass Extinction Event

Ahtun Re has indicated that there are about a dozen ET species that visit Earth. A primary reason for their visits is that there are few planets that can support the vast diversity of biologic life that Earth nourishes.

Earth is in the “Goldilocks” region of our solar system, that is far enough away from our star, the Sun, to avoid extermination by heat, but close enough to the Sun to have warmth and an atmosphere conducive to life. In other words, Earth is in a spot that is just right for life.

ETs are very well aware of our Goldilocks status and the “Blue Pearl,” as our planet is called by ETs, is one of the most interesting places for ETs to visit. Our abundant life makes Earth a “Disneyland” for ETs.

ETs are concerned about our survival due to global warming, which may lead to a mass extinction event. ETs are actively studying our atmosphere and our oceans.

Will ETs Invade Earth in an “Independence Day” Senario?

I once asked Ahtun Re if ETs want to conquer our planet for resources such as water, oxygen and precious metals, such as depicted in the movie Independence Day. In the image provided to the right, a huge ET craft is destroying the White House by an energy beam.

This is the way many of us view ETs, as violent conquerors who will kill us if we don’t kill them first. ETs understand our view of who they are and they understand that it will take time for humanity to be ready to accept the announcement of ETs’ interrelationship with humanity.

To ETs, We are Primitive and Violent

Ahtun Re replied that the suggestion of ETs invading Earth for resources would like a US Marine Corps General ordering a battalion to invade a homeless camp to acquire their possessions.

ETs don’t need anything we have. They can acquire what they need from uninhabited planets, asteroids and other celestial objects. On their spaceships, they can manufacture whatever they need.

The Psychic Advancement of Spacefaring ETs: The Soviet Cosmonaut Sightings of Huge Angel Like Beings in 1984

One thing that we must understand is that ETs who can travel to our planet are far, far more advanced than us not only in technology, but also spiritually and in psychic abilities.  A common form of communication amoung ETs is telepathy.

In fact, ETs initially found us, in our vast universe, through psychic means, in which life reaches out to other life. Ahtun Re has said that there is a “psychic beacon,” in which advanced beings are connected with life throughout the Universe.

A wonderful example involves the sightings by two successive crews on the Soviet space lab, Salyut 7, of huge angelic like beings outside their spaceship. Below, I share an account of the incidents from the website UFO Insight, in an article written by Marcus Lowth.

Cosmonauts in Salyut 7 See Huge Angel Like Beings

“In July 1984, on board a Soviet space station, one of the strangest sightings of cosmic phenomena occurred. The event witnessed not by a single person, but six individuals all claiming to have seen the same thing. What’s more, these events happened on two separate occasions, removing the possibility they were victims of some freak visual occurrence.

According to the cosmonauts on board the Salyut 7, huge “angel-like” manifestations were present outside their craft. They were floating above the Earth and swimming through the eternal ocean of space. These humanoid creatures had distinctive wings, and faces that housed a “peaceful expression!” They even projected overall feelings of peace and tranquility among the crew members.

The account, although seeing news coverage at the time, only really came to light in a fuller manner at the end of the Cold War. Indeed, it was while the world witnessed a major Soviet propaganda victory in the space race that these events played out quietly in the background…

The Salyut 7 ET Incident

Launched in April 1982, the Salyut 7 Space Station locked into Earth’s orbit soon after. The intention was of conducting various scientific experiments in space. The initial crew consisted of Soviet cosmonauts, Leonid Kizim, Vladimir Solovyov and Oleg Atkov (who served as a cardiologist).

Three months into its third year above the planet, the mission had begun to experience a multitude of system failures. This understandably unnerved the crew somewhat, although they didn’t appear to be in any danger and proceeded with the mission.

The first strange sighting occurred on July 12, 1984. Out of nowhere a strange but bright “orange cloud,” seemed to envelop the entire space station. At first, they believed there must have been an explosion and consequently the orange glow was, in fact, a fire. Investigation proved this not to be the case.

The three cosmonauts rushed to the portholes, almost blind from the brightness that flooded into the space station. When their eyes finally adjusted, each of them could clearly see huge “angels” outside the ship.

The cosmonauts stated the angels had a wingspan akin to the size of 747 jets, and were eighty feet tall. One later report stated that the entities appeared to acknowledge their presence inside the space station, even smiling at them. In all, there were seven of these celestial entities.

The men stood mesmerized by what they were seeing for ten minutes. Then the “angels” disappeared, as quickly and as quietly as they had arrived.

The Return

Following the docking of the Soyuz T-12 with the Salyut 7 on July 17, 1984, five days after the strange sighting, three more cosmonauts – Vladimir Dzhanibekov, Svetlana Savitskaya, and Igor Volk – boarded the space station.

In a bizarre side-story to the events that were unfolding, the launch of the T-12 was down to the Soviet government wanting to score a propaganda victory over the United States in the escalating space race of the 1980s.

NASA’s announcement in 1983 that they would make astronaut, Kathryn Sullivan, the first woman to complete a spacewalk began things. Hearing this, the Soviets immediately set their sights on such an achievement. The mission directive was to ensure that Svetlana Savitskaya would complete a successful spacewalk before the Americans, and so being the first woman in history to do so and scoring a major Soviet propaganda victory. Incidentally, she achieved this eight days after docking with the Salyut 7, on July 25, 1984.

While this was unfolding, however, behind the scenes the mysterious angels returned. This time all six of the cosmonauts witnessed them together. The events were largely the same as the first time they appeared.

They again reported the sightings to the mission control superiors on the ground. Again the reports spoke of these strange glowing angel-like creatures seemingly being aware of the crew – even smiling at them. As before, after several minutes of encircling the space station, they peacefully disappeared into the vastness of space.

Mass Hallucinations?

Although there is no hard conclusive science to back it up any more than your standard UFO or alien theory, the Salyut 7 incident was chalked up by most to a mass-hallucination. A single cosmonaut hallucinating is one thing. To have six people on two separate occasions each share that same hallucination is unlikely at best.

Each of the cosmonauts was subject to intense and prolonged examinations upon their return to Earth. These were both physical and mental in nature. All passed these examinations and procedures convincingly. In short, there is nothing to indicate or prove that what they saw was a hallucination.

Nor was there any suggestion, or reason to suggest, that the incident was a collective lie by the Soviets.”

Angels Seen by Cosmonauts were Pleiadians Visiting in their Spirit or Astral Bodies

Ahtun Re has told me that what the cosmonauts saw were beings from the Pleiades who were observing progress humans were making in space travel.

These Pleiadeans were not there physically, but in their spirit or astral bodies, which appeared to the cosmonauts as angels.

We humans also have astral or spirit bodies, but we are usually not conscious of these spirit forms of ourselves. Spacefaring ETs are experts at using their spirit bodies to explore our universe and they send out physical spaceships to follow up on their spiritual perceptions.

Ahtun Re, by the way, shares that the beings we call Pleiadeans actually came from the Andromeda constellation. They terraformed a planet in the Pleiadean constellation which became their new home, just as we contemplate establishing a colony on Mars.

Measuring the Technologic Advancement of ETs

In setting a measure for technological advancement, Ahtun Re suggested that we use the first use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in a machine. The definition of an AI machine would be a device that takes information from the environment, analyses the information and then makes operational decisions based on the environmental data, without the intervention of a human being.

A most familiar example of an AI machine would be a Tesla or other car with autonomous driving features. These vehicles have sensors around the car, as well as GPS input, and a computer in the car uses this data to activate systems in the car, such as braking to avoid a collision, without the participation of the human driver. In assessing the technologic advancement of ET civilizations, we will use the advent of AI machines as a benchmark.

Also please consider that we humans first achieved flight in the United States by the Wright Brothers in 1903 and that we landed men on the moon only 66 years later in 1969. Also consider the rapid development of the Internet and computers. Once major technologic advancements are made, they can grow exponentially in a short period of time.

Spacefaring ETs Are at a Minimum 400,00 Years Ahead of Us Technologically-“Ancient Aliens” a Reality

With this in mind, Ahtun Re has revealed that all ET civilizations that visit Earth developed AI machines at least 400,000 years ago.

ETs have been visiting Earth for at least this period of time.  As such, the premise of shows such as Ancient Aliens is valid.

The Issue of Contact with ETs

ETs who visit have not made widespread contact with us because there does exist what some have called the Prime Directive, in which there is agreement among spacefaring nations that species that are still considered to be primitive will not be interfered with, in part because of the possibility that primitive beings would see ETs as Gods, the possibility that humans may launch an attack on the ETs, that humans still driven by power would seek to access ET technology to destroy their Earthly enemies, and so forth.

I myself am amazed by the amount of violent content we view as entertainment, much like the Romans did at the Coliseum in watching humans and animals being killed by gladiators.

In scanning programs available through my cable tv provider, I am constancy disturbed at how many programs involve murder and other violence.

Though the killing of animals on stage has reduced in popularity, we still have bullfights in Spain where spectators seem to enjoy the killing of a bull by the swords of matadors.

Though we no longer have specticals in which gladiators fight to the death, in the US we have a comparable spectical in US football. Though our gladiators now wear helmets and other protective equipment, the shear violence involved in professional American football fascinates us.

Though American football players are not killed on the field, they are killed slowly through injuries, including tramatic brain injuries. Further, because of the prevalence of serious injuries, an alternate definition of the US National Football League (NFL), is “Not For Long,” as injuries shorten the careers of American football players.

Not to even mention the perpetual wars that exist in the Middle East. We have to admit we are a violent species. Luckily, though we have not destroyed ourselves through our nuclear weapons, a concern about this possiblity still causes stress. Why? Why would we want to destroy ourselves?

If I were an ET and viewed our cable programs filled with violence and monitored our wars in recent decades, I too would be cautious about working with our species.

The bottom line is when humans stop fighting among themselves, contact by ETs will be made. We just need to mature as spiritual beings.

Reincarnation Research can Help Create Peace and thus Facilitate Contact with ETs

Anne Frank | Barbro Karlen Past Life CaseEvidence of reincarnation can significantly advance peace, as reincarnation research, including the work of Ian Stevenson, MD at the University of Virginia, shows that we can change religion, nationality and ethnic affiliation from one lifetime to another.

Most conflicts and wars are based on differences in these cultural markers of identity. If we realized that we can reincarnate as a member of our enemy, we would understand that there is no point in fighting.

A classic case in this regard is the reincarnation of Anne Frank | Barbro Karlen. Anne was persecuted and killed as a German Jew during the Nazi invasion of the Netherlands. If the Nazis knew that one could be born Jewish in one lifetime and Christian in another, the Holocaust could not have happened.

Similarly, if we understood that we can incarnate in an ET culture and vice versa, the brotherhood of humans and ETs would be better understood and accepted. To learn more about Barbro’s reincarnation case, as well as other case studies that show change in relgion and nationality, please go to:

Reincarnation Cases with Changes in Religion, Nationality and Ethnic Affiliation

ETs Want to Make Contact, Though They Hesitant Due to Our Violent History

If we understand humans and ETs both evolve through the process of reincarnation, we already have a great deal in common!

ETs do want to make contact, but they are are concerned about our spiritual evolution and our propensity to wage war for religious, national and ethnic reasons.

In subsequent articles, we will explore the various ET species that visit Earth, as well as their intentions and spacecraft.

David Wilcock as the Reincarnation of Thomas Sugrue, the Author of “There is a River” and the Man Who Made Edgar Cayce Famous

David Wilcock reincarnation cayceRevealed by: Spirit Being Ahtun Re in a Ryerson-Semkiw Reincarnation Research Session

Walter Semkiw, MD Interviews David Wilcock in 2002

I spent several hours on the telephone with David Wilcock in 2002 regarding his theory that he is the reincarnation of the famous psychic medium Edgar Cayce. I learned about David from Joseph Myers, a Professional Engineer who wrote a book on reincarnation entitled Edward Bellamy Writes Again.

Joseph had met David and was intrigued by his claim to have been Cayce. Joseph was so supportive he even allowed David to stay at his home for several weeks as a guest. David was at Joseph’s house when I had the prolonged phone call with David.

My conclusion, after talking to him extensively, was that David was not Cayce, but that he was likely someone who knew Cayce. Joseph Myers, by the way, also concluded that David was not Edgar Cayce.

Edgar Cayce’s Son and Grandson Meet with David Wilcock and Determine that He is Not the Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce

At about the same time that Joe Myers and I were assessing Wilcock, David also went to the Association of Enlightenment and Research (ARE), the organization that was founded to share Cayce’s teachings.

David met with the CEO of the ARE, John Van Auken, and David shared his belief that he is the reincarnation of Edgar Cayce. Mr. Van Auken did not make a judgement on the matter, rather he arranged a 2 hour meeting involving David Wilcock, Edgar Cayce’s son and Cayce’s grandson.

The conclusion of the Cayce family members was that David Wilcock is not the reincarnation of Edgar Cayce. I recall a statement that Cayce’s grandson made that his grandfather was softspoken and humble, very much in contrast with David’s persona.

To view the video in which John Van Auken describes the meeting of the the Cayce family and David Wilcock, which occurs at 1:10 minutes into the video, please go to:

John Van Auken Explains How Cayce Family Member Rejected David Wilcock’s Claim of Being the Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce

Landmark Associations in Mistaken Past Life Matches

False past life identities can occur by what I term “landmark associations,” which can be made by the individual or by psychics that the individual consults with. Because the true past life identity may involve an obscure person, the most famous person of that era is ceased upon to represent the individual’s past life identity.

For example, if a psychic tells a person that they were Cleopatra in a past incarnation, it is likely that the client was incarnate during Cleopatra’s lifetime and perhaps even knew her. Cleopatra serves as a “landmark” in time for the client’s past life, though the client was not Cleopatra literally.

In my opinion, this is what happened with David’s belief that he was Edgar Cayce in a prior lifetime.

David Wilcock as the Reincarnation of Thomas Sugrue, the Biographer of Edgar Cayce

I have worked with world famous trance medium Kevin Ryerson since 2001 and found that he channels a spirit being named Ahtun Re, who can make past life matches with a high degree of accuracy.

In as session with Kevin, Ahtun Re concurred that David Wilcock is not the reincarnation of Edgar Cayce and he revealed that in actuality, David is the reincarnation of Thomas Sugrue, an associate of Cayce who wrote the definitive biography on Cayce entitled, There is a River. It is this book that made Edgar Cayce well known.

In this way, the landmark association occurred which led to the mistaken past life match of Wilcock being Cayce. I discussed these issues with both David Wilcock and his coauthor, Wynn Free, well before they published their book proposing the David was Cayce.

Differences Between Edgar Cayce and David Wilcock

david wilcock reincarnation cayce An important point is that Edgar Cayce was a trance medium who delivered messages from the spirit world while in a meditative state. David Wilcock is not a medium.

Edgar Cayce was not an intellectual nor was he an author. David Wilcock is an intellectual and a prolific author.

Wilcock and Wynn Free argue that similarities in the astrological charts of Cayce and Wilcock support the past life association. The truth is that astrological charts cannot be used to assess the validity of a past life match.

David should be proud of what he has accomplished in his own right and I wish him the best.

Edgar Cayce Reincarnation Case

Evidence and Principles of Reincarnation-Understanding Past Lives

Physical Resemblance in Reincarnation Cases: The facial features of Thomas Sugrue and David Wilcock are similar, though it appears that Sugrue was older and heavier than is David in their pictures. I believe that David will look more like Sugrue as he ages.

David’s facial architecture does not correspond to that of Cayce.

Past Life Passions, Talent and Abilities: Thomas Sugrue was a published spiritual author and David Wilcock is an intellectual and prolific author on spiritual topics.

Edgar Cayce was not an intellectual, nor was he an author.

Relationships Renewed through Reincarnation: David Wilcock has identified people in his life that he believes were in Edgar Cayce’s social circle in their past lives. It is quite possible that some of David’s friends knew Cayce in their prior incarnations as Cayce and Thomas Sugrue were close associates, who knew the same people.

 

Reincarnation Case of Nate King Cole | John Legend: Iconic Singers in Two Lifetimes

Proposed by: Walter Semkiw, MD

Affirmed by: Spirit Being Ahtun Re in a Ryerson-Semkiw Reincarnation Research Session

Article by: Walter Semkiw, MD

Click on image to enlarge

Recently, I was doing computer work with my television on in the background. Suddenly, my attention was focused on a voice that was singing through the televison. Instantly, I thought: “That is Nate King Cole.” I looked up from my laptop and saw that the performer on the television was actually John Legend.

There was an uncanny similarity in their voices and when I viewed images of these two gifted musicians, I saw a physical resemblances in certain photos.

In a session with Kevin Ryerson, Ahtun Re affirmed that John Legend is the reincarnation of Nate King Cole.

A Past Life for Handaka Vijjananda

In working on the Indonesian version of my book, Born Again, there was a person I wanted to determine a past life for.  This individual is Handaka Vijjananda, who established the Ehipassiko Foundation, an organization dedicated to spreading the wisdom of Buddhism in that part of the world. His foundation translated and published my book in Indonesia. I am indebted to Brenda ie-McRae, a past life regression therapist in Jakarta, Indonesia, for indroducing me to him.

In working with Handaka, I found him to be a very impressive young man.  He is trained as a pharmacist, runs a pharmaceutical export business, is a devoted father, yet makes time to translate and publish books on Buddhism.

Individuals tend to pursue similar activities from one lifetime to another and those who write books in one incarnation oftentimes have written books in prior incarnations.  It is easier to locate past lifetimes that can be historically validated for writers, as they leave a record.  Accordingly, I wondered about a past lifetime for Handaka.

In a session with Kevin Ryerson, Ahtun Re told me that Handaka had an incarnation as a native of Hawaii, who was involved in the creation of the written Hawaiian language.  When I asked Ahtun Re how I would find this person, he told me that this individual is historically well known and that there is only one such individual.

Henry Opukaha’ia or Obookiah: A Founder of the Written Hawaiian Language

After doing some research, I found an article entitled, Henry Opukaha’ia: The Youth Who Changed Hawai’i, written by Betty Fullard-Leo, in which she wrote:

“The work Henry Opukaha’ia did on translating the Bible and recording the Hawaiian language in a grammar/dictionary/spelling book, paved the way for the missionaries to print the first Hawaiian primer and Bible stories in the Hawaiian language.”

I found a portrait of Henry and noted that he bore a resemblance to Handaka.  In a subsequent session with Kevin Ryerson, I asked Ahtun Re if Handaka Vijjananda is the reincarnation of Henry Opukaha’ia.  Ahtun Re affirmed the match.

When I passed this information on to Handaka, he and his family related to the match for reasons that will be explained in a moment.  Let us first briefly review the life of this pioneer of the Hawaiian language.

Henry Opukaha’ia’s Early Life and Losses in Hawaii

It is thought that Henry Opukaha’ia was born in 1792 on the Big Island of Hawaii.  As a young boy, he grew up in the turmoil and war that followed the death of the old tribal ruler, Alap’i. His successor, Kamehameha, became the ruler of all the Hawaiian Islands, but who got involved in conflict over control of the Big Island.

In this war between rival royal factions, Henry’s parents were killed.  He later was adopted by an uncle who was a priest or “kahuna.”  He later lost an aunt for her violation of a religious “kapu,” which means a taboo or religious rule that cannot be broken.  Betty Fullard-Leo narrates the turn of events:

“Henry, who is thought to have been ten or twelve at the time, fled from the rampaging warriors carrying his infant brother on his back. A spear thrown by one of the soldiers found its mark, and the baby brother was killed. Henry survived, but the same soldier who had killed his parents became his guardian for the next year and a half.

During this time, Henry discovered that a kahuna at a nearby temple was his uncle, so he was allowed to go to live with his grandmother and this uncle. While he was visiting an aunt in a nearby village, soldiers came to take her prisoner for some infraction of the kapu system, but Henry once again survived by escaping through a hole in the grass house. While he watched, a soldier threw this aunt over a cliff to her death.”

Henry Opukaha’ia Sails for Connecticut on the “Triumph”

It is sad that Henry, orphaned by a tribal war, had to witness so much additional violence.  It is understandable why he would want to leave Hawaii for a more peaceful place.  When a ship named the Triumph came into port, the captain, a man named Brintnall, invited Henry and Hopo’o, another Hawaiian boy, to have dinner on the vessel and to spend the night.

Subsequently, Henry, at the age of 16, was allowed to stay on board and participate in the ship’s journeys.  Regarding his travels on board the Triumph, Betty Fullard-Leo writes:

“The sailors called him Opukaha’ia Henry, and spelled his last name the way they pronounced it, Obookiah. During the next two years, Henry sailed on the Triumph to the Seal Islands (situated between Alaska and Japan), back to Hawai’i, to Macao, and around the Cape of Good Hope, landing in New York in 1809. On board he developed a friendship with a Christian sailor named Russell Hubbard, who began teaching Henry how to read and write, often using the Bible as a primer.”

When the ship landed in the United States, Henry moved to New Haven, Connecticut, to live with Captain Brintnall and his family.  There he continued his education and learned about the Christian religion, which he found more appealing than his native Hawaiian religion, in which idols were worshiped.  For a period of time, he lived with the very devout family of the president of Yale College.  To earn a living, he worked on farms in Connecticut and New Hampshire, though he continued to study whenever possible.

Henry Converts to Christianity and Translates the Bible into Hawaiian

Reincarnation CaseschristianityreincarnationpastlivescrossBy 1814, Henry began speaking publicly at church groups in Connecticut.  Further, he began translating the Bible into Hawaiian and he created a dictionary and grammar book in the Hawaiian language.  Fullard-Leo, in her article, continues the story:

“People in Connecticut had begun to talk of sending missionaries to foreign countries-Hawai’i, in particular, as several young native Christians (like Henry) would be able to pave the way. Henry continued to fill his inquisitive mind with knowledge at Yale College. Not only did he undertake Latin, Hebrew, geometry and geography, he improved his English by writing the story of his life in a book called Memoirs of Henry Obookiah. By 1815, he had finished writing his personal history and had begun to keep a diary that detailed his feelings about his faith.”

At 26, Henry Dies Before He Could Return to Hawaii to Spread Christianity to the Islands

Henry then embarked on missionary training, so that he could spread the message of Christianity to his native Hawaii and around the world.  Unfortunately, before having a chance to participate in a mission, Henry developed typhus fever and died on February 17, 1818.  Regarding the end of his life and the impact that he had, Betty Fullard-Leo writes:

“Attendants noted a heavenly smile on his face. He was 26 years old. Among his last words were ‘Alloah o e’–translated in his memoirs as, ‘My love be with you.’

The little book about his life was printed and circulated after his death. It inspired 14 missionaries to volunteer to carry his message to the Sandwich Islands. Of those who sailed on the Thaddeus on October 23, 1819, only Samuel Ruggles had met Henry face-to-face. The work Henry did on translating the bible and recording the Hawaiian language in a grammar/dictionary/spelling book, paved the way for the missionaries to print the first Hawaiian primer and Bible stories in the Hawaiian language.

Henry’s body was buried in a hillside cemetery in Cornwall, Connecticut, where it remained for 185 years. In 1993, a group of his descendants, spearheaded by Deborah Lee, brought the body home to the Big Island. The remains were re-interred at Kahikolu Cemetery in Napo’opo’o, near Kealakekua Bay in South Kona. A plaque marks the spot, cared for by Ka ‘Ohe Ola Hou, a group formed to perpetuate the achievements of the devout young man who is believed to be the first Hawaiian convert to Christianity–a young man whose zeal was the reason the first missionaries came to Hawai’i in 1820.”

Similarities Between Henry Opukaha’ia and his Reincarnation, Handaka Vijjananda

In cases featured in Born Again, we have observed how predispositions, talents and life patterns can repeat from one incarnation to another.  Handaka Vijjananda relates to Henry Opukaha’ia due to the many parallels that exist between them, such as:

  • Holy book translation: Henry worked on translation of the Bible into the Hawaiian language.  Handaka has translated Buddhist texts into the Indonesian language.
  • Creation of a translation dictionary: Henry is credited with the creation of the first dictionary or primer for English/Hawaiian translation.  Handaka is creating a similar translation dictionary to facilitate conversion of Buddhist texts written in the Indian Pali language into the Indonesian language.
  • Public speaking: Just as Henry gave public speeches to church groups, Handaka gives public presentations on Buddhism and character building.
  • Missionary work: Henry was being trained to perform Christian missionary work, though he died before he began to serve as a missionary.  Handaka has done missionary work for many years and recently served in Aceh and Medan, Indonesia, where a tsunami struck in 2004.

Handaka notes that the primary difference in the two lifetimes is that he was serving Christianity in his lifetime as Henry, while he serves Buddhism in his contemporary incarnation.   He also has a more universal and inclusive point of view, which is characteristic of people who believe in reincarnation.

Reincarnation and Change of Religion

Ahtun Re has revealed that Handaka’s family in Indonesia was also incarnate in Hawaii as the extended family of Henry, some of whom, we learned, suffered violent and cruel deaths.  In the reincarnation case of Henry Opukaha’ia | Handaka Vijjananda, we see in microcosm humanity’s path in becoming more spiritually evolved.

Henry was born into a land with tribal war and strict religious rules and taboos.  Breaking a taboo could result in persecution and even death.  Henry left Hawaii and became a believer in Christianity, a religion that focuses on forgiveness, charity and doing onto others as you would have done to you.  Still, Christians are separated from those of different belief systems and wars have been fought based on different beliefs.  In contemporary times, Handaka believes in Buddhism, which reveres compassion and embraces reincarnation.

Objective evidence of reincarnation, which demonstrates that we can change religion, nationality, race and ethnic affiliation from one incarnation to another, is the ultimate source of a universal life view.

Let us hope that evidence of reincarnation will spread throughout the world, bringing greater peace and tolerance to the planet.  Let us thank Henry Opukaha’ia | Handaka Vijjananda for helping bring evidence of reincarnation to Indonesia.

Harold Lloyd as a Past Life of Ryan Reynolds

Recently, Nicole proposed that Ryan Reynolds is the reincarnation of Harold Lloyd, which was confirmed in a session with Kevin Ryerson. Nicole pointed out that Reynolds and Lloyd share the same good looks, though the resemblance is not obvious as in many photos as Lloyd is usually captured wearing bulky glasses.

Nicole explained that Harold Lloyd wanted to be a comedic actor, like his peer Charlie Chaplin, but Lloyd was told that he was too handsome to be funny, so Lloyd adopted eyeglasses to look nerdy. Lloyd, by the way, though not as famous as Chaplin, actually made more money through his movies than did Chaplin.

In addition to being humorous in his films, Harold Lloyd also was a daredevil stuntman in his movies. Ryan Reynolds, in addition to performing in his staple of romantic comedies, has also played a superhero role as in his Deadpool movies.

The Musician Grimes, Mother of Thomas Edison’s | Elon Musk’s Child, as the Reincarnation of Mina Edison: Children Named Tech Symbols such as X Æ A-12 in Two Lifetimes

Elon Musk as the Reincarnation of Thomas Edison and Claire Boucher, known as Grimes, as Edison’s Wife Mina

On May 4, 2020, Elon Musk and his partner, Grimes, had a baby boy who they named X Æ A-12. One interpretation of this name is that X is an unknown variable in mathematics, Æ represents artificial intelligence and is pronounced “Ash,” and A-12 refers to the couple’s favorite aircraft, Lockheed Martin’s Archangel 12. In sum, the name is pronounced X Ash Archangel 12.

Grimes seems to have affection for mathematical symbols as since 2018, she has gone by the name “c,” referring to the symbol for the speed of light.

Previously, I posted an article in which Elon Musk is identified as the reincarnation of Thomas Edison.

Nobel Laureate Kary Mullis, PCR Creator, and his Wife Nancy Support their Past Lives as Benjamin and Julia Rush

Married couples often reincarnate together to become spouces once again. One such case involves Nobel Laurate Kary Mullis and his wife Nancy Mullis. Kary invented Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) which is the basis of DNA analysis and fingerprinting. It has been stated that biologic science can be divided into two eras, one before PCR and the era after PCR.

5 thomas edison elon musk reincarnationKary and Nancy Mullis both agreed to be reincarnation cases in my first book, Return of the Revolutionaries, in which they are identified as Benjamin and Julia Rush in past lives. Benjamin Rush was a friend to both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Rush called the duo the “North and South Poles of the American Revolution.”

Grimes as the Reincarnation of Mina Edison

Reflecting on the Rush | Mullis cases and others that are similar, it was natural to wonder if Elon Musk and Grimes were together in the era of Thomas Edison. In reading about Edison, I found a likely candidate in Edison’s second wife, Mina (pronounced my-na), for a past life of Grimes.

In a session with Kevin Ryerson, Ahtun Re, the spirit being who has demonstrated the ability to make past life matches with a high degree of accuracy, affirmed that Grimes is the reincarnation of Mina Edison.

Mina was born on July 6, 1865, the seventh child of inventor Lewis Miller and his wife, Mary. Mina married Thomas Edison when she was 20 years old, about half the age of Edison at the time of their union. As Thomas was often in his lab, Mina took charge of the household and gave herself the title “Home Executive.” Mina became a leader in the community in which they lived.

During the Great Depression, Mina herself conducted a study on the effects of unemployment on local medical facilities. After her husband’s death in 1931, Mina founded the Thomas Alva Edison Foundation. Mina died in 1947.

Past Life Traits of Tech Names: Dot, Dash, C and X Æ A-12

Claire Elise Boucher was born in Vancouver, Canada on March 17, 1988, 41 years after Mina had died. For college, Clair attended McGill University in Montreal and one of her majors was neuroscience, which seems to reflect Mina’s interest in health care.

Clair began recording music under the name Grimes in 2007. Starting in 2018, she adoped the nickname “c,” the symbol for the speed of light. In that year, she also started a relationship with Elon Musk, which resulted in the creation of their son, X Æ A-12.

In an amusing correlate, Thomas Edison gave two of his sons from a prior marriage the nick names “Dot” and “Dash,” in reference to Morse Code. Edison taught Mina Morse Code so that they could communicate in secret around her family and he reportedly proposed marriage to her in Morse Code, which I think is quite romantic. Morse code is a precursor to binary language used in computer programming, where 1 and 0 are used instead of dot and dash.

As such, technologic names and nicknames are observed in the lives of Thomas Edison | Elon Musk and Mina Edison | Grimes.

Anthony Fauci and Thomas Tuttle

As the United States dealt with the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, Alex Knapp, a Senior Editor at Forbes, wrote an article on the similarities between Dr. Anthony Fauci and another pandemic interventionist from 100 years ago, Dr. Thomas Tuttle. Mr. Knapp even noted that the two bore a physical resemblance and the article featured an image of Fauci and Tuttle side by side.

A friend of mine forwarded Mr. Knapp’s article to me as she knew that I preach, based on evidence, that from one lifetime to another we have similar facial features, personalities, talents and careers. As such, it was natural to wonder if Dr. Fauci is the reincarnation of Dr. Tuttle.

Dr. Fauci is Affirmed to be the Reincarnation of Dr. Tuttle

I have worked with trance medium Kevin Ryerson on a monthly basis since 2001. Kevin is featured in four of Shirley MacLaine’s books and he played himself in her movie Out on a Limb. Kevin channels a spirit being named Ahtun Re who has demonstrated the ability to make past life matches with a high degree of accuracy.

In a session with Kevin that I had on April 30, 2020, Ahtun Re confirmed that Dr. Anthony Fauci is the reincarnation of Dr. Thomas Tuttle.

One feature of this reincarnation case is that the lifetimes of Tuttle and Fauci overlap by two years, as Tuttle died in 1942, while Fauci was born in 1940. As such, this is a case of split incarnation, where a soul animates two human bodies at the same time.

The Dr. Fauchi of the 1918 Spanish Flu, by Alex Knapp-Forbes

 

Article Text: More than a century ago, epidemiologist Dr. Thomas Tuttle prescribed face masks and social distancing to slow the influenza pandemic. He made a lot of enemies—but it worked.

In January 1919, Washington’s health commissioner urged legislators in the state capital, Olympia, to enforce strict measures against the spread of the Spanish flu, which had just ended a deadly second wave in America. Recommended restrictions included banning dances and other social gatherings, as well as limits on how many people could attend public meetings and how far apart they should sit from one another. Both the city and county voted against those measures. In response, the commissioner sought to get the State Board of Health to enforce its police powers against the county.

Instead, he lost his job.

A public health official getting fired over unpopular social distancing measures during a pandemic has an eerie echo today, when business leaders and politicians are chafing against restrictions urged by authorities to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. But it was precisely these restrictions that enabled Seattle and other cities in Washington to protect themselves from the Spanish flu—and similar actions helped Kansas abate another influenza wave in the fall of 1919.

At the center of public health efforts in both states was a practical, plainspoken, bespectacled scientist: Dr. Thomas Dyer Tuttle, who became a powerful, if polarizing, figure in the fight against the Spanish flu—not unlike Dr. Anthony Fauci is perceived today, in the battle against COVID-19.

Apart from the passing physical resemblance, both Dr. Tuttle and Dr. Fauci fought global pandemics late in their long public health careers and the perilous balance of science and sociology that entails. Both men attended Ivy League medical schools. Both were commissioned officers in the United States Public Health Service. And both had experience fighting previous epidemics. Fauci first came to prominence in the 1980s as the leading HIV/AIDS researcher for Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. For Tuttle, it was a resurgence of smallpox at the turn of the 20th century.

Tuttle was born in Fulton, Missouri, in 1869. He was the son of a grocer who had married into wealth—his mother’s family, according to a local history, had a home encompassing about a quarter of a city block. He received his bachelor’s degree at local Westminster College (where Winston Churchill would deliver his famous “Iron Curtain” speech some 56 years after Dr. Tuttle had graduated). Tuttle then moved to New York City in 1889 to obtain a medical degree at what was then known as Columbia College.

During that first year of medical school, he unwittingly found himself in the midst of one of the deadliest flu pandemics, the so-called “Russian flu,” which had killed tens of thousands in Europe that fall and arrived in New York in December. That flu would end up causing more than 2,500 deaths in New York before subsiding in February 1890.

After graduating from Columbia in 1892, Tuttle worked at New York’s Mount Sinai hospital. He later returned to Missouri, where he married his wife, Lucile, in 1896. A few years later, the couple moved to Montana where Tuttle pursued a medical career and became Secretary and Executive Officer of the state’s Board of Health in 1903.

It was in this role that Dr. Tuttle first learned to value science over unpopular public opinion. In 1909, Tuttle made headlines in local Montana newspapers—ironically, by coming out against quarantines—much to the consternation of the public. Smallpox had ravaged the population in the early 1900s, but Dr. Tuttle’s reasoning behind the order was that lifting quarantines would encourage people to vaccinate. (In 1905, the Supreme Court case Jacobson v. Massachusetts upheld states’ authority to require smallpox vaccinations in the interest of public health.) Tuttle and the state’s Board of Health had promoted mandatory smallpox vaccinations by offering them free of charge and by circulating a Tuttle-penned pamphlet touting their benefits. Those instructions included sharp words for the anti-vaxxers of the day:

“It is the firm belief of the author that the most effectual way to rid this country of smallpox would be to give a few months warning, in order that all might have time to be successfully vaccinated,” Dr. Tuttle wrote. “And then let any cases of smallpox that might appear go at large, without disinfection, so that those who would not be vaccinated might have the disease and be done with it. Such a move would result in a radical ‘change of heart’ on the part of many, if not all, ‘anti-vaccinationists.’”

In 1915, with smallpox under control in America, Dr. Tuttle accepted a new position as health commissioner of Washington. Three years later, in July 1918, the Spanish flu reached the state. The first set of infections hit the Army’s Camp Lewis, where more than 300 cases were reported. As summer went on, the number of cases appeared to decline and the “alarm went down,” says historian Gwen Whiting.

But the numbers started to creep up again in September, and public health officials became concerned about a second wave. The state’s Board of Health met in late September specifically to discuss concerns over the flu, and after the meeting Tuttle spoke to a newspaper to warn citizens that the flu would return. Because of limitations on the state Board of Health’s authority, Dr. Tuttle wasn’t able to enforce many orders until November, says Whiting. But he did use his position to encourage local officials to announce stringent measures to contain the pandemic in early October.

Dr. Tuttle, who lived in Seattle, worked closely with the local health commissioner, Dr. J.S. McBride, to manage the trajectory of flu cases. Alarmed by hundreds of hospitalized cases of flu in the nearby Naval training station, Tuttle declared that the Spanish flu had arrived in the city. Both McBride and Seattle’s mayor, Ole Hanson, acted quickly in response—taking advice from Dr. Tuttle.

Thoughts and Prayers: After closing Seattle’s churches in 1918, Mayor Ole Hanson said, “Religion which won’t keep for two weeks is not worth having.”

On October 5, 1918, Mayor Hanson laid out his measures to curb the epidemic in Seattle. “He closed the churches. He shut down public places. They even raised fines for spitting on the sidewalk,” explains Whiting. “You could be fined if you weren’t wearing a mask to get on the streetcar. All of these strict restrictions were put into place in Seattle. And other cities followed suit.”

Meanwhile, Dr. Tuttle took to the newspapers to spread health advice— sending letters to the press statewide, proclaiming that the flu might be prevented from becoming epidemic with “the earnest, conscientious and intelligent help of every citizen of the State” following a now-familiar set of precautions: Don’t sneeze or cough in your hands, keep away from crowds, and stay at home if you have any symptoms.

As with the COVID-19 pandemic, the response to Spanish flu in Seattle, Spokane and other Washington cities had parallels across the country. New York, St. Louis and Los Angeles also saw success through the use of austere public health measures, while cities such as San Francisco and Philadelphia were less restrictive and saw increased flu deaths as a result. But those higher mortality rates are also due, in part, because the severe measures simply weren’t popular. Even in Seattle, “there was a lot of protest” over public health restrictions, says Whiting.

Although Dr. Tuttle gave advice to local authorities behind the scenes, he tended to act more pragmatically as the flu progressed. He never issued a statewide lockdown, for example, because the U.S. Surgeon General had advised against it. He also lifted a statewide order to wear masks in public after Armistice Day in November 1918—partly because citizens weren’t adhering to it anyway. The end of World War I also saw an easing of health restrictions in Seattle. But it came at a cost. In early December, the flu came back. Although this time, rather than ban public gatherings, people exposed to influenza were ordered to remain in their homes.

That month, Dr. Tuttle traveled to Chicago for a national conference of the American Public Health Association dedicated to combating the disease, and that meeting appears to have hardened his resolve to be even more aggressive. Tuttle may have been pragmatic earlier in the epidemic, but he began to be more publicly exasperated at the lack of enforcement of public health laws. Tuttle’s frustrations pepper reports he prepared after this period, and he was later described by a contemporary as belonging “to that old-fashioned school of citizens who believe laws and regulations were made to be enforced.”

“Those who buried their dear ones last winter should certainly lend every effort to prevent others facing a similar loss,” Dr. Tuttle wrote in a Topeka paper on September 11, 1919. He also wrote letters to county health commissioners, urging strict enforcement of quarantines. Though not considered part of the Spanish flu pandemic, Kansas did see a high level of influenza cases in the winter of 1919-20, and Dr. Tuttle did his best to ensure local communities were prepared.

Despite the work he had done to save lives in Washington and Kansas, it’s clear that Tuttle was pessimistic about his country’s ability to prepare for the next pandemic. “As a matter of fact, we know about as little with regard to the etiology and epidemiology of influenza today as we knew two years ago,” he wrote in one report, “and owing to the inclination of our government (city, county, state and national) to provide funds for operating only when sickness is present, and to absolutely cut off any support whatsoever for the study of the epidemiology of the disease after an epidemic has passed, renders it very probable that we will meet our next epidemic (probably 20 or 30 years hence) with as little knowledge of the true nature of the disease as we had when we confronted the epidemic in the fall of 1918.”

Two years later, Tuttle resigned his role in Kansas, citing a need for a bigger salary so he could afford to pay for his son’s college education. In its biennial report, the Board of Health lamented his departure and urged that the legislature increase the salary for the role in order to secure “a man of the quality and training Kansas desires.”

His next job took Dr. Tuttle back to Montana to start a veterans hospital at Fort Harrison, which still exists today. He later moved to Chicago to practice medicine. In 1933, he and his wife retired to San Diego, where Dr. Tuttle spent his golden years gardening—on the 1940 census, he wryly noted his occupation as “orchidist” with an income of zero—before passing away in 1942.

Second Opinions: Like Dr. Tuttle’s stringent measures, Dr. Fauci’s guidelines haven’t always been popular.

Nearly 80 years after Dr. Tuttle’s death, his legacy in fighting pandemics lives on, which might have come as a surprise to him, given the pessimism he expressed in his lifetime. In 2009, a group of researchers wrote a paper comparing existing CDC guidelines on managing pandemics to those developed during the Spanish flu. The paper noted that of all the recommendations, measures Dr. Tuttle promoted—encouraging the closing of public spaces and social distancing—were still relevant in fighting epidemics today. The report even cited findings from the 1918 December meeting Dr. Tuttle attended before insisting on the draconian health measures that got him fired.

One of the coauthors of that 2009 paper?

Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Dan Abrams and John Adams Under Fire

Dan Abrams is a lawyer and media entrepreneur. Abrams received a degree in political science prior to law school. Early in his career, he worked as a reporter for Court TV where he covered the OJ Simpson case and the trials of Dr. Jack Kevorkian, who helped terminally ill people commit suicide.

In recent years, he has achieved high visibility due to being the Chief Legal Affairs Anchor for ABC News. Dan is also an author and has written books on three US Presidents, including Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.

His most recent book is John Adams Under Fire: The Founding Father’s Fight for Justice in the Boston Massacre Murder Trial. Though Adams was a fierce advocate for American independence, he also believed that the British soldiers who fired muskets upon a threatening mob should receive a fair trial. When no one else would represent them, Adams volunteered.

John Adams later wrote of the Boston Massacre: “On that night the formation of American independence was born.”

Dan Abrams wrote of Adams and his defence of the British soldiers:

“He volunteered to represent them, keeping the peace in a powder keg of a colony, and in the process created some of the foundations of what would become United States law.”

John Adams, Ian Stevenson, MD, Reincarnation and Tolerance

I have an interest in the American Revolution because I had an incarnation in Boston during that era. My first book, Return of the Revolutionaries: The Case for Reincarnation and Soul Groups Reunited (2003), is about a cohort from that time that has reemerged today, a cohort that includes me. In that book, I am identified as John Adams reborn.

Ian Stevenson, MD of the University of Virginia compiled over 1500 validated childhood past life memory cases that in aggregate provide proof of reincarnation. This evidence shows that we can change religion, nationality and ethnic affiliation from one lifetime to another.

Most wars are based on differences in these cultural markers of identity, so understanding that these markers are only temporary can help create greater peace. An important case in this regard, as well as others, are provided below:

Reincarnation Cases with Change in Religion, Nationality and Ethnic Affiliation

Spiritual Democracy

Reincarnation research shows that people usually do the same type of thing and follow similar career paths from one lifetime to another. Adams and his colleagues sought to create greater equality though the creation of a democratic country, the United States, which led to another revolution in France. In this way old monarchies were cast off in the name of self-rule.

Evidence of reincarnation will free us from the control of old, established religions, the monarchies of spirituality, and reveals that we truly are equal regardless of what religion, nationality or ethnic group we belong to.

Reincarnation research also allays fear of death and affirms that our souls are eternal. As I like to say:

“With compelling evidence of reincarnation, who needs faith?”

Dan Abrams as the Reincarnation of Isaiah Thomas, Publisher of the “Massachusetts Spy”

I had a hunch that Dan Abrams also was part of the American Revolution and I reasoned that he was likely a newspaper publisher, as Abrams is a reporter and media entrepreneur.

Since 2001, on roughly a monthly basis, I have been working with trance medium Kevin Ryerson who channels a spirit being named Ahtun Re, who has demonstrated the ability to make past life matches with a high degree of accuracy. In a session with Kevin over the telephone, I asked Ahtun Re whether Dan Abrams was incarnate during the American Revolution and if so, was he a newspaper publisher?

As is usual, Ahtun Re said, “One moment,” during which he psychically tunes into the subject of interest and waits for information to come to him. He can access a record of events that is engrained in the spirit realm, which some call the Akashic Record.

Ahtun Re returned and related that Dan was a newspaper publisher in Boston during the Revolution and that his periodical was supportive of the Patriot cause of Independence.

After doing some research into Boston newspapers and their founders, it appeared that Isaiah Thomas was the best candidate. In a subsequent session with Kevin, Ahtun Re affirmed that Dan Abrams is the reincarnation of Thomas.

Isaiah Thomas was born in 1749 in Boston, Massachusetts and as a teen he was apprenticed to a printer. As an adult, Thomas worked as a printer in New Hampshire and South Carolina.

He returned to Boston and in 1770 he formed a partnership to create a new newspaper, which was given the saucy name, the Massachusetts Spy. The Spy did indeed support the Patriots to the extent that the British colonial government took Isaiah Thomas to court, though in the end a grand jury failed to make an indictment. Due to this experience, Thomas moved his printing presses outside of Boston to nearby Worcester, Massachusetts, where he settled.

Isaiah Thomas and the Boston Massacre: Reporting Across Two Lifetimes

The Boston Massacre occurred on March 5, 1770, with the trial taking place later that year. As such, Thomas must have covered that trial for his paper, which means that Isaiah Thomas and John Adams knew one another.

Consider that Isaiah Thomas reported on the Boston Massacre trial, then reincarnated as Dan Abrams, who wrote the book John Adams Under Fire, which is about the very same trial!

The Massachusetts Spy also reported on the first battles of the American Revolution that took place in the Massachusetts towns of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775. Isaiah himself participated as a soldier in the Battle of Concord.

Following the decision by the Continental Congress to separate from Britain on July 4, 1776, Isaiah Thomas had the honor of performing the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence to the citizens of Worcester.

Authors in Two Lifetimes

Like Dan Abrams, Isaiah Thomas was an author of books and he wrote the History of Printing in America, with a Biography of Printers, and an Account of Newspapers, published in two volumes in 1810.

In 1812, Thomas founded the American Society of Antiquaries, now known as the American Antiquarian Society, and donated his collection of 8000 books to its library. Thomas died in 1831.

Evidence and Principles of Reincarnation-Understanding Past Lives

Physical Resemblance in Reincarnation Cases: There is a similarity in the facial features and demeanor of Thomas and Abrams.

Past Life Passions, Talent and Abilities: Isaiah Thomas was a reporter and newspaper publisher for the American Revolution, while Dan Abrams is a reporter on legal matters and founder of a media empire.

 

 

Priyanka Chopra as the Reincarnation of French Film Vamp Musidora and Nick Jonas as Costar Fernand Herrmann: Planning Lifetimes to be Reunited through Reincarnation

Revealed by: Spirit Being Ahtun Re in a Ryerson-Semkiw Reincarnation Research Session

Clues to a Past Lifetime of Priyanka Chopra Jonas

Priyanka Chopra won the Miss World 2000 beauty pageant, which led to movie roles and fame, resulting in her becoming one of India’s most popular celebrities. She married Nick Jonas, a member of the Jonas Brothers singing group, which made Priyanka equally famous in the United States.

Since India’s primary religion, Hinduism, does accept reincarnation, it was natural to wonder who Priyanka, as well Nick, may have been in past lives.

I asked about Priyanka and Nick in a session with trance medium Kevin Ryerson, who channels Ahtun Re, a spirit being who has demonstrated the ability to make past life matches with a high degree of accuracy.

Ahtun Re told me that Priyanka was a French silent movie actress and  director at the turn of the century. At the time of this session with Kevin, I was busy with other reincarnation cases and did not take the time to research this French actress, who sounded obscure to me.

Priyanka as the Reincarnation of Musidora

Several months went by when I was contacted by Karthik Ramaswamy, an Indian American who wrote conveying his hypotheses regarding who Priyanka might have been in past lives.

I did not think his theories were valid, but after getting to know him a bit, I shared the information I already had regarding Priyanka as the French silent movie actress and director. I asked Karthik if he would like to research this French past life, which he agreed to do.

Not long thereafter, Karthik sent me information about Musidora, who fit the description given by Ahtun Re. In a subsequent session with Kevin, Priyanka’s past life as Musidora was confirmed.

Musidora’s birth name was Jeanne Roques and she was born in 1889 in Paris.  She started acting when she was 15 years old. In the early years of French cinema, she collaborated with the influential film director Louis Feuillade. This led to Jeanne, who had taken on the stage name, Musidora, to landing a lead role in the movie series Les Vampires.

Ahtun Re and the Akashic Records

By the way, when I asked Ahtun Re if Priyanka was Musidora, I said that Musidora had starred in Les Vampires. I then added: “I guess it’s a movie about vampires.”

After affirming that Priyanka was Musidora in a past lifetime, Ahtun Re said that Les Vampires was actually about a gang of criminals, not a movie about actual vampires. He then said the gang symbolically sucked the blood of society.

I was stunned that Ahtun Re knew this obscure detail and demanded: “How did you know that?”

Ahtun Re has done this repeatedly in my sessions with Kevin, which I have been having on roughly a monthly basis since 2001. Ahtun Re has an encyclopedic scope of knowledge that never ceases to amaze me.

Ahtun Re explained that when I ask about a person, he focuses on the subject and information about this person just comes to him. Ahtun Re has the ability to read what is called the Akashic Records or Universal Mind. It is a record of all events that is etched in the spirit realm. Ahtun Re accesses this record telepathically.

Nick Jonas as the Reincarnation of Fernand Herrmann

In the same session in which Ahtun Re confirmed that Priyanka was Musidora, I asked if Nick Jonas was incarnate during Musidora’s lifetime. Ahtun Re told me that Nick was one of the other actors in Les Vampires.

As before, I asked Karthik if he could try to find Nick. Karthik then watched a number of episodes of Les Vampires. Afterwards, he wrote to me and related that the most likely candidate for Nick Jonas was Fernand Herrmann, a reincarnation match that was subsequently affirmed by Ahtun Re.

Fernand Herrmann was also born in Paris and starred in 26 films between 1914 and 1925, the year he died. Musidora died in 1967. Priyanka Chopra was born 15 years later, in 1982.

Musidora was married to Dr. Clément Marot for 15 years before the union ended in divorce. I do not know if Musidora and Fernand Herrmann had any type of significant personal relationship during their professional careers, but they must at least have been friends.

Planning Lifetimes and Relationships Renewed through Reincarnation

Souls do plan lifetimes from the spirit world to be reunited with those they have known, worked with or loved in past lives. The strongest evidence of planning lifetimes comes from the Twin Study conducted by Ian Stevenson, MD, an academic psychiatrist at the University of Virginia. To learn more, please go to:

Anne Frank | Barbro Karlen Past Life CasePhysical Resemblance in Reincarnation Cases: There are similarities in the facial features of Musidora | Priyanka and Fernand Herrmann | Nick Jonas.

I believe that physical appearance is determined by an energy template projected from the soul into the developing fetus and child, which results in facial architecture being similar from one lifetime to another, though genetic inheritance can modify appearance.

Past Life Passions, Talent and Abilities: Musidora and Fernard were actors, as are Priyanka and Nick.

Relationships Renewed through Reincarnation: As noted before, Musidora and Fernand have rendezvoused in the lives of Nick and Priyanka.

Change of Nationality: Musidora and Fernand were French, while Priyanka was born in India and Nick was born in the United States.

Understanding that one can change religion, nationality and ethnic affiliation from one incarnation to another can help make the world a more peaceful place, as most wars are based on differences in these cultural markers of identity . An important case in this regard is the:

Wild Bill Hickok: Celebrity and Actor

“Wild Bill” Hickok was one of America’s first celebrities. He was raised in Illinois on a farm, but he was attracted to the adventure that the American West offered. At the age of 18, he moved to the frontier territories of Kansas and Nebraska, where he became a lawman. Hickok was involved in a number of shootouts, but exaggerated the number of men he had killed, which served to help create a mythology around him.

George Ward Nichols was the journalist who created the legend of Wild Bill. Nichols had interviewed Hickok, who falsely stated that he had killed “hundreds” of men. Nichols included Hickock’s tall tales in an article published in Harper’s New Monthly Magazine which led to Wild Bill’s fame. Though Hickok had indeed been an excellent marksman since boyhood, his primary biographer has estimated that he only killed 6 or 7 people in gunfights.

Due to his fame, Hickok was invited to participate in shows depicting life on the Western frontier, complete with Indians and staged shootouts. In this capacity, he worked as an actor who also demonstrated his skills with firearms during shows.

In 1876, Wild Bill was playing cards in a saloon in Deadwood, South Dakota when he was shot in the back and killed by another gambler. Hickok was reportedly was holding a pair of aces and a pair of eights, which has become known as “Dead Man’s Hand,” reflecting Hickok’s assassination.

Wild Bill Hickok as a Past Life of Matthew McConaughey

Matthew David McConaughey was born in 1969 in Texas. He went to the University of Texas, Austin, where he earned a degree in Radio-Television-Film. He has gone on to become a celebrity actor and won an Oscar for his role as a rodeo star who contracts AIDS in the movie Dallas Buyers Club.

When living in California, McConaughey became a surfer, a sport that requires razor-sharp reflexes, which are also required to become a successful gunfighter.

Matthew is known for the phrase: “Alright, Alright, Alright.” I am old enough to know that phrase was originally used in the song 30 Days in the Hole, by Humble Pie.

Interstellar Travel, UFO’s and ET’s: Aliens Reincarnate Too!

Matthew has starred in a couple of movies involving space travel, including Contact (1997) and Interstellar (2004). Of interest, I am working on a series of articles on interstellar travel, UFO’s and ET’s. It turns out that ET’s reincarnate too. These articles will be found in the section of our website entitled:

Soul Evolution, UFO’s and ET’s.
