In a past lifetime, I, Chuck McMurray, believe that I was John Harrison, an 18th century, self-educated British clockmaker and inventor of the marine chronometer, which is a very precise timepiece that was used in ship voyages for navigation purposes. Harrison lived from 1693 to 1776.

Let me tell you my story, which started with a past life regression conducted in 2016, though I would not derive my past life identity as Harrison until 2018.

On October 16, 2019, over a year after I had made the hypothesis that I was John Harrison, I had a session with trance medium Kevin Ryerson, who has worked extensively with Walter Semkiw, MD. In this session my past life as Harrison was affirmed. Let us now start at the beginning.

Chuck McMurrays’s Past Life Regression

In September of 2016, I had made an appointment with Susan Wisehart, MS, LMFT, who is a licensed psychotherapist and a past life regression therapist, to have my first regression. The reason for my interest in pursuing this was research I had done on the topics of reincarnation and the afterlife.

I had found Susan’s name by researching past-life regressionists in the Chicago area, where I live. She had studied with Yale trained psychiatrist Brian Weiss, MD and she had wonderful reviews by clients who had worked with her.

So on Saturday, September 26, 2016, I made a leap of faith and met with Susan.  I was excited but also nervous, not really knowing what would happen. I was treating it like a new adventure.

At the start of my appointment introductions were made, which helped me understand what I could expect. Susan was professional, helpful and made the process seem like a very natural thing to do.

Overall, it was a very pleasant experience, though intense emotions did come out during the session. In fact, I just couldn’t believe how deeply I was in tears during the whole thing.

During the regression, I experienced very clear and vivid past life memories. I’ve read that many people have this same type of experience during hypnotic regressions, but it is quite different when it actually happens to you.

Past Life Memories of a Life in England

As is normal for the regression process, Susan asked me to relax completely as she guided me into a meditative or trance state. It was quite easy.

In the session, a past life memory opened. I saw myself crossing a bridge. Immediately, I could see that I was close to a large estate-like home on a huge piece of country property. It reminded me of an old mansion. The entire area was thickly wooded. The home had many windows and a large porch that ran the length of the home. It had a U-shaped driveway that brought visitors up to the house.

When Susan asked when I thought this memory was from, I said that it felt like the 1600’s, perhaps the early 1700’s. Based on the home and the way people were dressed, it reminded me of movies I had seen of English royalty.

In this memory, I could clearly hear the sounds of the hooves of horses and the wheels of a carriage traveling over a gravel or brick paved road. Susan asked me where I believed to be and I said confidently,“England.” She then asked me to be more specific. I said “North or West Yorkshire.” Please understand that though I may have looked at a map of England twice in my life, nothing of English life had ever interested me.

A Past Life British Military Uniform

Susan then asked me to identify any traits of my body that I was able to recall. I said that I was wearing clothing like the British Red Coats wore in the era of the American Revolution. But the odd thing is that I had no weapon-no gun or sword. It dawned on me that perhaps I was a boy playing soldier in the fields.

In this scene, I was with a young male friend of mine. We were standing near a body of water, like a pond or a river that a bridge crossed over. In this particular memory we also seemed to be really enjoying ourselves, joking and laughing, as we observed how women were dressed as they emerged from horse-drawn carriages with their men.

Moving forward in the past life regression, Susan asked me the next thing that I remembered. I recalled being a sick or wounded boy who spent time in a hospital. I remembered the clothing that I was wearing. The clothing was  loose-fitting and felt like cotton pajamas. I remembered socializing with other children, as well as the nurses and caretakers.

Note: Later on, I learned that when John Harrison was young, he fell ill with smallpox and was hospitalized. He was given a watch to amuse himself in his sickbed. Historians have written that it was this watch that led Harrison to a career building clocks.

Past Life Memories of a Family and a Clock Shop

Susan then asked me to move forward again in time. I now felt that I was a young adult and that I was married and had a child. I saw a young boy and my wife and I watched as he played and ran around. I felt that I was in my early 20’s and that I was a working man. I felt as if I was just “a commoner.”

I progressed forward in time again. I saw myself in a clock shop somewhere in a small town. I felt like I was perhaps in my late 30’s or early 40’s. The shop was on a main street of some sort, with buildings no more than 1 to 2 stories in height. I saw many clocks in the shop, all ticking at the same time. I had a large table that was about chest high and there were pencils and drawings spread all over this workbench, along with clock parts. I felt like I was obsessed with the business of making and fixing clocks.

Please understand that at the time of my regression, these presumed past life memories made no sense to me, as I’ve never been interested in clockwork. However, growing up, my father in Chicago had a grandfather clock that sat in our dining room. He had won the clock as a sales award years before and I was always comforted by the chimes it made. I used to watch my father fix and tune it, but I was afraid to touch it as it always looked so fragile to me. My father’s parents also had a very large grandfather clock, which I loved to listen to when we visited their home.

A Past Life Book of Inventions and the Loss of a Family

In my regression experience as a clockmaker, I felt I was keeping a very important book containing a collection of my inventions and ideas. I could see pencil drawings everywhere. The binding of this book was strangely covered with black and white spots, like the skin of a cow. This book was very important to me and I thought it was made up of hundreds of pages.

At this point, Susan asked me where my wife and son were in relation to my past life. I was instantly and terribly saddened as I thought that I had lost contact with them, perhaps through a divorce. I couldn’t in my mind locate what happened to them. I had thoughts that perhaps they had moved to the west of England or that they had emigrated to America. I remember feeling very upset that I had lost contact with my son and wondered where he had gone.

Note: I would find out later that early in his life, John Harrison had lost both his first wife Elizabeth-Scott and his son John.

A Second Past Life Son

We moved forward again. In this past life memory, I saw myself as a much older man living in a larger city, like London. I specifically remembered a two-story apartment where my shop was. I lived on the second floor above my clock shop. There was a closet under the stairs where I kept many of my most prized clocks. I can remember the layout of the building and the windows in the front.

At this point, I remembered walking to and from the town post office, as I was worried about my son and I was hoping to get a letter from him.  I remembered that his name was William. I would check to see if he had corresponded or if anyone had heard from him. Somehow, I wasn’t able to reach him and was always hoping that he would write me so that I knew he was alright.

I also remembered that when walking through town, that people would always ask me “for the time,” as I was known to be a clockmaker. I was always adjusting and keeping time with a pocket watch of some sort that was very important to me.

A Cherished Past Life Collaborator

I also remember working with someone down the street who was a metallurgist or a blacksmith. I believed that this person helped me professionally. I remembered that he had died early and that I had missed him, feeling that I owed him for part of my success. I’m not sure where he lived, but I felt that this person lived close by, within walking distance to where my shop was located.

Note: From my research, I learned that John Harrison was continually assisted by George Graham, pictured to the right. Graham was a watchmaker and instrument maker, who may have been the person I recalled in my regression who assisted me in my business. Enlarge the image to better see instruments in the background.

A Vision from the Spirit World: A Past Life Son Carries Out Sea Trials for John Harrison’s H3 Chronometer

Susan then asked me to move forward to the “end of this life.” I saw myself waking in the middle of the night due to chest pain and having a difficult time breathing. I remembered seeing shelves of smaller clocks in my room on this night and I felt that somehow, I knew that my time was up. A special clock on my nightstand was one of my most prized possessions and I remembered setting it for the last time on that night.

Susan then asked me to move forward past my death and asked me what I saw afterward. I recalled the book of drawings of my inventions, which I believe I gave away though my will. My son seemed to be in his older years – maybe his 40’s? I believe that he had his own family at this time. The vision that I had involved him reading my book of inventions by candlelight and it felt like that the location was somewhere overseas, perhaps America.

There was a very odd aspect to this memory as the room he was reading in was very small and made entirely of wood.

Note: William Harrison, John Harrison’s second son of his second marriage, carried forth the John Harrison “H3” sea clock in trials on ships of the Royal British Navy. As John Harrison was older and was prone to be seasickness, he sent his son, William, to supervise the trials. It may be that the small, wooden room in my vision was of William on an English ship.

The famous British sea-captain and explorer James Cook, pictured above, took one of Harrison’s chronometers on his second and third Pacific voyages with William Harrison onboard. When Cook returned to England in 1775, he reported that the Harrison chronometer was “our faithful guide through all the vicissitudes of climates.”

The Day I Learned about John Harrison for the First Time

Recall that my past life regression with Susan occurred on September 26, 2016. About 18 months later, on April 2, 2018, I started a new job. On the second day of that job, I was working from my home office. At around 8:30 in the morning of that day, I had opened my computer and logged onto the Internet and the Google home page. On that day, which was Tuesday April 3, 2018, Google featured a cartoon featuring a man named John Harrison, as he was born on April 3, 1693.

After having clicked on the drawing, it landed on a page with portraits of John Harrison. There were two paintings – one that was created earlier in his life in black and white, and then a second one that was in color. The second painting to me was so striking, in that I saw my own face in his. I stared in awe for some time.

On that day, I took a picture of myself to compare my face with that of John Harrison. The facial features were nearly identical, even though in the portrait of Harrison, he was 30 years older than the age I was when I took the photo of myself.

After researching the past life memories that I accessed in my session of September 26, 2016, I met with Susan again about 2 years later in December of 2018.  I explained to Susan that the investigation of my past life memories had revealed possible historical validation of my past life experience. I felt that I had discovered evidence of a past life that was more important than just something personal.  I asked her for guidance.

Susan suggested that I reach out Walter Semkiw, MD and to perhaps validate my past life memories in a session with trance medium Kevin Ryerson. She knew of Walter’s work and that he has worked with Kevin Ryerson over many years and that Kevin channels a spirit being named Ahtun Re, who has demonstrated the ability to made past life identifications with a high degree of accuracy,

My Session with Kevin Ryerson on October 16, 2019

Ahtun Re, the spirit being that Kevin channels,  validated that I was John Harrison in a past lifetime. In addition, Ahtun Re confirmed that William Harrison, the son of John Harrison who carried out sea trials on the behalf of his father, is my son Matthew in this lifetime.

Of interest, my son Matthew and I created a website, H3mi. com (no longer active), which reflects the name of John Harrison’s chonometer, the H3, which William Harrison took on sea trials with the British Navy.

Ahtun Re also validated that my wife, Kimberly, was a wife of John Harrison. One very odd thing about the day that I first met my wife is that I knew she was very special. In fact, I went home and told my mother that I met the woman I would marry. I had no idea why I felt that way. It was a truly love at first sight!

Correspondences in the Lives of John Harrison and Chuck McMurray

I was a very curious kid, who had a lot of energy and a natural talent for taking things apart and learning how they worked. I had spent a good part of my young life building toys, making short films and playing with bikes and cars.

My father was a salesman, but he loved carpentry and making things. He spent a lot of time teaching me how to use tools at a young age, always reminding me that I should “use my hands and my head” later in life to make a living. That always stuck with me.

I was always very creative. I went to school for communications but ended up thriving in more technical roles selling and implementing data and technology. I’ve been known to my professional peers as “the idea guy.”

One of my most successful jobs was with a startup called Alteryx, which involves a geo-spatial data tool that is now widely used. John Harrison, with his invention of the chronometer, was also involved in geo-spatial science.

At the age of 11, I had made a bet with my father that if he purchased an electric model remote control car for me, which had to be assembled, I would be able to put it together without help. If I won this bet, my father would be responsible for the cost of this device. My father took up the bet and purchased the car kit.

All alone, in the basement of my Chicago home, I spent 2 weeks reading the instructions and putting together all the gears and parts. After a few trials, I was able to get the entire car together, which operated flawlessly. I remember my father’s face when he came outside to see me driving it around. He was awed.

At the age of 13, my father had again let me purchase a car, but this time it was a real car, even though I was not old enough to drive it. It was a 1975 Plymouth Valiant that did not operate, that I bought for 300 dollars. We brought the car home so that I could restore it.

My father was amazed as within weeks, though working with few tools or resources, I was able to get the car fixed and running. He attributed this to be a natural talent, so he supported me in this interest. Within just a few years, I had bought, restored and sold about 20 cars. I took a keen interest in racing them, which also seemed natural to me. I was able to understand the engines and how they worked, with no training.

In this way, I believe I was self-taught like John Harrison was. I always loved the way engines worked and I rejoiced in the fact that I could make them perform better, much like John Harrison did with clocks and his invention of the marine chronometer.

Relationships Renewed through Reincarnation: In his contemporary incarnation as Chuck McMurray, John Harrison has been reunited with a past life wife and son. Chuck related that when he first met his future wife Kimberly, he knew immediately that they would be wed. This is how past life relationships are renewed through reincarnation, through destiny, intuitions and emotional remembrance.

Past Lives of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown: Vaudeville Entertainers Aida Overton Walker and George Walker Reunited through Reincarnation

A fan of ReincarnationResearch.com wrote to me and proposed that Whitney Houston had a past life as the Vaudeville entertainer Aida Overton Walker, based on a striking physical resemblance and similar talents as accomplished singers.
 
In a session with world famous 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, Ahtun Re affirmed that Whitney Houston, who died in 2012, was the reincarnation of Aida Overton.
 
In reading about Aida, I learned that Overton was her maiden name and that she married another entertainer whose name was George Walker. After they were married, she took on the name Aida Overton Walker.
 
Reincarnation research reveals that souls tend to incarnate with people they have known before, which is the basis of the term “soul groups.”
Powerful research done by Ian Stevenson, MD at the University of Virginia conclusively demonstrated this principle. 
Stevenson’s Twin Study involved 31 sets of twins who had spontaneous past life memories in childhood that were objectively validated. In 100 percent of these cases, the twins had very significant past life relationships, including the observation that married couples can reincarnate to become spouses again.
 
As such, it was logical to wonder if Aida Overton’s husband George Walker had reincarnated as Whitney’s husband, Bobby Brown. In my session with Kevin, Ahtun Re confirmed that Bobby Brown is the reincarnation of George Walker.
 
Physical Resemblance in Reincarnation Cases: There is an uncanny similarity in facial features of Aida Overton Walker and Whitney Houston. There is also a resemblance in the facial features of George Walker and Bobby Brown.
 
Past Life Passions, Talent and Abilities: Aida Overton Walker and George Walker were stars of the Vaudeville entertainment world, much as Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown have been entertainment stars in contemporary times.

Reincarnation Case of “Silent Spring” Author Rachel Carson | Greta Thunberg: An Environmental Activist Across Two Lifetimes

Greta Thunberg: Child Prodigy Environmental Activist

Greta Thunberg was born in 2003 in Sweden and she has become a celebrity teen international advocate for the cause of combating climate change.

Given her passion for environmental causes at such a young age, it is natural to wonder who she may have been in past lifetime.

In a session with Kevin Ryerson, a trance medium who I have worked with since 2001, I asked who Greta was in the past. 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 told me, without any hesitation, that Greta in a past lifetime was Rachel Carson, the author of Silent Spring.

Greta Thunberg as the Reincarnation of Rachel Carson

Rachel Carson was a biologist whose book Silent Spring, published in 1962, documented the adverse effects of chemicals released to the environment. In particular, she described how spraying the pesticide DDT to control mosquitoes resulted in birds ingesting DDT. These birds then laid thin-shelled eggs that would break before chicks were mature enough to survive.

As the chicks had died, the season after winter was silent, as there were no birds to sing to announce spring. Silent Spring is credited with starting the environmental movement of today,

Rachel Carson was born in 1907 and died in 1964, about 40 years before Greta Thunberg was born.

Evidence and Principles of Reincarnation-Understanding Past Lives

Physical Resemblance in Reincarnation Cases: There is a similarity in the facial features of Rachel Carson and Greta Thunberg. It will be interesting to observe how Greta’s appearance evolves over time.

A New Validated Childhood Past Life Memory Case: The Reincarnation Story of Metropolitan Opera Singer Alice Joséphine (Lily) Pons | Dorothy Angelica

How Derived: Past Life Memories in Childhood

Researched by: Kira Angelica. Mother of Dorothy Angelica

Article by:  Walter Semkiw, MD, with information provided by Kira Angelica

Click on images to enlarge

Past Life Talent: Dorothy, as a Child, is a Natural Actress and Singer

Dorothy Angelica was born on Sept 24, 2010 in the United States. Her mother, Kira, wrote to me in 2019 regarding her daughter’s past life memories.

Kira related that Dorothy was an entertainer before she learned to talk. Dorothy would jump up and down in her crib to make everyone around her laugh. When Dorothy was 3 and a half years old, she was in a musical production with 30 other children of varying ages. Dorothy stole the show. Other parents admitted to Kira that they ended up video recording Dorothy instead of their own kids, due to Dorothy’s magnetic stage presence.

Kira relates that Dorothy loves to wear bright bows, sometimes ten at a time or more. She is very loud, talkative, bubbly and excitable–wildly popular with everyone.

Dorothy’s music teacher shared with Kira that her daughter has perfect pitch, which means a person is able to re-create a musical tone without a reference tone.

Kira has a Psychic Experience or Vision before Dorothy was Born

When Kira was 8 months pregnant with Dorothy, she was up late at night in her dining room sewing a baby blanket for her child to come. Kira suddenly heard a young voice calling from their kitchen who exclaimed, “Mommy! Mommy!” Kira went to the kitchen, but no one was there. Kira returned to the dining room and her sewing.

Kira then once again heard a child saying, “Mommy,” this time coming from the family’s living room. Kira went to the living room and again, no one was there.

Kira went back to the dining room to continue sewing. She is a spiritual person and speculated that the soul of her future child was communicating to her. After working on the blanket for a few more minutes, Kira looked up at the door going to the kitchen and saw a girl, who appeared to be about 10 years of age.

This girl was wearing a homemade, plaid dress. This girl smiled at Kira and Kira smiled back. The vision of the girl then faded away. Kira felt very happy after this experience. She speculated that this girl was the child that would be born to her. The plaid dress she was wearing was perhaps a something her future daughter wore in a past incarnation.

 After Dorothy was born and matured, Kira realized that the girl in her vision was in fact Dorothy.

Announcing Dreams in Reincarnation Cases

Reincarnation research does provide evidence that souls who are about to incarnate into a family can send dreams to members of that family, usually the mother of the incarnating soul, to signal that they will be arriving. Ian Stevenson, MD of the University of Virginia called these “announcing dreams.” Kira seems to have had an “announcing vision.” To review these types of cases, please go to:

Spirit Communication and Announcing Dreams in Reincarnation Cases

Dorothy Remembers Her Past Life Name

When Dorothy was 6 years old, Kira decided to share with her the vision she had of the girl in the plaid dress. Recall that this vision occurred before Dorothy was born.

Kira had taught Dorothy to meditate and upon hearing of her mother’s dream of the girl in the plaid dress, Dorothy decided to meditate to see if she could find out who that girl was in a past life. Dorothy, who again was just 6 years old, had just started kindergarten and had not yet learned to read, nor did she know how to use a computer. As such, she did not have the ability to research possible past life identities though normal means, such as through the Internet.

After a few minutes, Dorothy started rattling off details of a possible life. Kira grabbed a notebook and scribbled down what Dorothy said. Kira documented Dorothy’s statements over time. She thought that her daughter was describing imaginary things, but Kira wrote it all down anyhow.

While Dorothy was sitting on the floor meditating, she suddenly opened her eyes and said:

“Mom, I know who I used to be in a past life. Her name was something like Lizy or Lily, but her REAL name was Alice Pons.”

Though skeptical, Kira Googled these names and found that Lily Pons was an opera singer born in 1898, in France, who enjoyed fame in the 1940’s. When Kira read that Lily’s birth name was Alice, Kira gasped and almost fainted. Kira, though, did not reveal what she found on the Internet to Dorothy, as she wanted to see what else her daughter may say spontaneously.

Kira asked Dorothy about anything else she remembered about this past lifetime.

Dorothy Remembers her Past Life Husband’s Name

Dorothy said that her husband’s name was “Cos Liams.” She said that they had pets and described other details of this past lifetime. Over time, Dorothy added that Lily Pons spoke many languages, played piano, loved to sing and was a professional singer by the age of 22. Dorothy said Lily had a music room in her house, loved wild cats and the singing of birds.

A Past Life Cancer produces Abdominal Pain

Kira noted that at this point in her daughter’s life, Dorothy had developed frequent, very painful stomach aches. Dorothy herself stated to her mother:

“Ever since you started talking about dying and being reborn, I started having a terrible stomach ache, and I feel sad. I might throw up, Mom. It feels like I had a bad stomach in my past life. Very bad. It makes me sad.”

One night, when she was having one of these fits, Dorothy declared, “Now I know what Lily Pons died from, Mom. She died from a bad stomach ache!” That was Dorothy’s last stomach ache.

Kira researched and found that Lily Pons had died from pancreatic cancer, which does cause abdominal pain. Upon reading this, Kira’s hair stood on end!

Dorothy Recognizes her Past Life Photo

Kira finally shared with Dorothy what she had learned about Lilly Pons on the Internet and showed her a photo of Pons, which prompted Dorothy to exclaim: “Hey! That was me! Now you’ve seen me with short hair, mom!”

The Life of Alice “Lily” Pons

Alice Joséphine Pons was born in France on April 12, 1898.  She first studied piano at the Paris Conservatory, winning the First Prize at the age of 15. She went on to become an operatic singer and actress who went by the professional name of Lily Pons. She moved to New York City and performed with the Metropolitan Opera from 1931 to 1960, had television appearances such as on the Ed Sullivan Show and she made dozens of musical recordings. A town in Maryland, Lilypons, was named after her.

Lily was married twice. Her second husband was conductor Andre Kostelanetz, which corresponds to Dorothy’s memory of being married to a man whose name was “Cos Liams.”

Alice “Lily” Pons died on Feb 13, 1976 at the age of age 77, about 35 years before Dorothy was born.

Evidence and Principles of Reincarnation-Understanding Past Lives

Physical Resemblance in Reincarnation Cases: The facial features of Alice Pons and Dorothy Angelica are similar.

Past Life Talent, Behavior and Abilities: The singing and acting talent of Alice Pons is being replicated in the persona of Dorothy Angelica.

Change of Nationality: Alice Pons was born in England, while Dorothy Angelica was born in the United States. Understanding that nationality and ethnic affiliation can change from one lifetime to another can help a more peaceful world, as most conflicts and wars are based on differences in these cultural markers of identity.

Spirit Beings in Reincarnation Cases: Kira Angelica had a vision of her daughter to be born. When Dorothy matured in age, Kira realized that the girl in her vision in the plaid dress did resemble Dorothy.

Ian Stevenson, MD of the University of Virginia called dreams that foretold an incarnation as “announcing dreams.”

 

Reincarnation Case of Opera Composer Richard Strauss | Musical and Opera Child Prodigy Alma Deutscher

Proposed by: Walter Semkiw, MD

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

Article by: Walter Semkiw, MD

Richard Strauss was born in 1864, in Germany. He was a musician, conductor and composer. He was especially successful in creating operas and it has been determined that his operas are the second most performed of any composer in modern times. Strauss died in 1949.

Alma Deutscher was born in 2005, in England. She is child prodigy musician and at age 10, she wrote her first full length opera. Music experts have noted that her ability to compose opera and orchestral works at such a young age is remarkable, as this requires knowledge of what sounds and range various instruments can achieve. Normally, this ability would take a lifetime in music to learn.

I watched a 60 Minutes television program in the United States in which Alma’s talents were described. While watching the program, I had the intuition that Alma is the reincarnation of Richard Strauss, though I myself knew little about Strauss.

In a session with Kevin Ryerson, a trance medium who channels a spirit guide named Ahtun Re, who has demonstrated the ability to make past life matches with a high degree of accuracy, Ahtun Re affirmed that Alma Deutscher is the reincarnation of Richard Strauss.

Evidence and Principles of Reincarnation-Understanding Past Lives

Physical Resemblance in Reincarnation Cases: There is a slight similarity of facial features between Richard Strauss and Alba Deutscher, though this resemblance will need to be reassessed as Alba matures.

A case in which physical appearance has been documented from childhood to adulthood, that verified similarity in facial features from one lifetime to another, is the:

Understanding that a soul can be born into different countries and ethnic heritages can help make the world a more peaceful place, as most wars are based on differences in these cultural markers of identity.

Paul Revere and the American Revolution

Paul Revere was a figure in the American Revolution best known for his midnight horseback ride warning citizens of Massachusetts that the British were approaching Boston. This British advance led to the first battles of the war, which took place in Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts.

In addition, Revere was an artist. He was a silversmith and he  created a copper engraving depicting the Boston Massacre, an incident that helped spark the American colonies to revolt against the British.

This engraving is featured to the right.

Jack Black’s Remarkable Resemblance to Paul Revere

Jack Black is also an artist, one who has focused on acting and music. Indeed, one of my favorite movies, Nacho Libre, stars Black.

Jack Black has an uncanny resemblance with Paul Revere. Image comparisons of the two have been on the Internet for a few years, as evidence of facial similarities in reincarnation cases has grown in awareness and interest.

Still, physical resemblance by itself does not validate a past life and I doubted that Black was Revere.

Nonetheless, in a session with 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, I asked about this proposed case. Ahtun Re affirmed that Jack Black is the reincarnation of Paul Revere.

Evidence and Principles of Reincarnation-Understanding Past Lives

Physical Resemblance in Reincarnation Cases: There is a striking resemblance between Paul Revere and Jack Black.

Past Life Talent, Behavior and Abilities: Artists tend to continue to create art from one lifetime to another, though the form of art can change. Paul Revere was a silversmith who also did engravings, while Jack Black expresses his creative nature though film and music.

Change in Religion and Ethnic Affiliation: Paul Revere, born in the American colonies before the Revolutionary War, was Christian and of French descent. Jack Black, also born in America or the United States, was raised Jewish.

Understanding that souls can change religion and ethnic affiliation from one lifetime to another can help create a more peaceful world, as most wars and conflicts are based on differences in these cultural markers of identity.

Past Lifetimes of Larry Sanger and Jimmy Wales

Denis Diderot is known as the co-founder, primary contributor and chief editor of the first French encyclopedia, known as the Encyclopédie, which was first published in 1751. It was the first written source attempting to present all knowledge as it was known in that era.

In a separate post, Jimmy Wales, the co-founder of Wikipedia, was identified as the reincarnation of Denis Diderot.

Diderot’s partner in creating Encyclopédie was Jean-Baptiste d’Alembert, while Wales partner in establishing Wikipedia was Larry Sanger.

It was logical to wonder if Larry Sanger is the reincarnation of Jean-Baptiste d’Alembert, as reincarnation research, including cases studied by Ian Stevenson, MD of the University of Virginia involving children with spontaneous past life memories that were validated, show that we incarnate with souls we have known in past incarnations.

The Reincarnation Twin Study of Ian Stevenson, MD

A dramatic example of how souls engineer being reunited with loved ones and associates from prior incarnations involves Ian Stevenson’s Twin Study. Stevenson researched 31 sets of twins (62 people) who remembered past lives in childhood that were validated. In 100 percent of these cases, the twins had close personal relationships in past incarnations. To learn more, please go to:

Larry Sanders as the Reincarnation of Jean-Baptiste d’Alembert

In a session with Kevin Ryerson, Ahtun Re, the spirit being channeled through Kevin who has demonstrated the ability to make past life matches with a high degree of accuracy, affirmed that Larry Sanger was Jean-Baptiste d’Alembert in a past incarnation.

In addition to being an intellectual who contributed to the human fund of knowledge, Jean-Baptiste d’Alembert was also a scholar of music theory. Larry Sanger is an accomplished violinist.

Evidence and Principles of Reincarnation-Understanding Past Lives

Physical Resemblance in Reincarnation Cases: There are similarities in the facial features of Jean-Baptiste d’Alembert and Larry Sanger.

Past Life Talent, Behavior and Abilities: d’Alembert was a founding contributor of the French Encyclopédie, much as Sanger helped found Wikipedia. Both were very involved in music.

Relationships Renewed through Reincarnation: Jean-Baptiste d’Alembert | Larry Sanger reunited with his associate and co creator of Encyclopédie, Denis Diderot, in the persona of Jimmy Wales.

Change of Nationality: Jean-Baptiste d’Alembert was French, while Larry Sanger was born in the United States. Understanding that souls can change nationality, religion and ethnic affiliation from one lifetime to another can help create a more peaceful world, as most conflicts and wars are based on differences in these cultural markers of identity.

Reincarnation Case of Frankenstein Actor Boris Karloff | Ty Burrell, a Star of the Television Series Modern Family: Past Life Talent

Ty Burrell as the Reincarnation of Frankenstein, that is, the Actor Boris Karloff

A fan of ReincarnartionResearch.com wrote to me and proposed that Ty Burrell, an American actor and a star of the comedy show, Modern Family, is the reincarnation of the nineteen-century actor Boris Karloff. In reviewing images of these two actors, I observed a remarkable similarity in facial features. Click on images to enlarge them to appreciate the resemblance in facial architecture or bone structure.

Boris Karloff was actually born in London, England on November 23, 1887. His birth name was William Henry Pratt. Pratt later took on the stage name of Boris Karloff.

Karloff became famous for his role in movies about the fictional character Frankenstein. Karloff’s large forehead established the template for physical images of Frankenstein for movies of the future.

Karloff also took voice roles in animated films and became the Grinch in the children’s television program, Dr. Seuss: How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

Boris Karloff was awarded two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his accomplishments in cinema. Boris Karloff died on February 2, 1969.

Split Incarnation in the Reincarnation Case of Boris Karloff | Ty Burrell

Ty Burrell was born on August 22, 1967, about year and a half before Boris Karloff died. As such, this is a case of split incarnation, in which a soul expresses itself in two physical incarnations at the same time. Ian Stevenson MD, of the University of Virginia called these “cases with anomalous dates,” as lifetimes overlapped in time.

Though Ty Burrell is best known as a comedic actor, he has also done serious portrayals on Broadway and he has also performed voice roles in many animated films, just as Karloff did the voice of the Grinch.

In a session with Kevin Ryerson, Ahtun Re, a spirit being  channeled through Kevin who has demonstrated the ability to make past life matches with a high degree of accuracy, affirmed that Ty Burrell is the reincarnation of Boris Karloff.

Evidence and Principles of Reincarnation-Understanding Past Lives

Physical Resemblance in Reincarnation Cases: There is an uncanny resemblance between Boris Karloff and Ty Burrell.

Past Life Talent, Behavior and Abilities: The acting talent of Boris Karloff shines forth in the career of Ty Burrell.

Change in Nationality: Boris Karloff was born in England, while Ty Burrell was born in the United States. Understanding that souls can incarnate into different religions, ethnic affiliations and nationalities from one lifetime to another can help create a more peaceful world, as most conflicts and wars are based on differences in these cultural markers of identity.

Split Incarnation or Parallel Lives: Ty Burrell was born on August 22, 1967. Boris Karloff died on February 2, 1969. As such, the soul of Karloff | Burrell animated two physical bodies at the same time for about a year and a half.

Reincarnation research shows that souls can inhabit more than one human body at a time. Ian Stevenson, MD of the University of Virginia, who studied children with spontaneous past life memories that were objectively validated, documented a number of split incarnation cases, though he termed these “cases with anomalous dates,” as lifetimes overlapped in time.
