The all-important Why

139 Beat Imhof “Warum wir mehr als einmal auf Erden leben” The maturing of the soul through reincarnation. (This book is not available in English) Beat Imhof holds the opinion that the important questions of our existence cannot be answered if one ignores the idea of reincarnation. And this is why he published a book with the theme of rebirth - reincarnation when he was 91 years old! As with all his books that I am familiar with, he is very comprehensive and approaches the history, philosophy, theology and literature with his usual thoroughness by providing a plethora of citations and evidence. This book can only be recommended to readers that are patient and prepared to take the time to learn more about reincarnation. Jenny Cockell “Past Lives Eternal” This book by an English woman contains a really special reincarnation story. I have been able to listen to Jenny Cockell on a video in the internet. She was born in 1953 and she tells us that she had vivid memories of a past life in Ireland as a “Mary” from when she was a child. She said that she had always drawn street maps of the village that she believed she had lived in. She clearly experienced the joys and sorrows of this Mary and finally reached the conclusion that she must have been this woman, married to an alcoholic and the mother of eight children, and that she had died in hospital from the consequences of giving birth to the eighth child. She always felt the anguish of having to leave her children behind. In 1989, when she was 35 years old, the wish to get to the bottom of this grew stronger and stronger and this included seeing the children from that time again. She procured maps of Ireland and eventually found “her village”, its name was Malahide. It actually had the same layout as on the drawings that she had made during her childhood. She eventually travelled to Ireland, arrived at the village and immediately recognised it again. To find her home was easy, but it was completely in ruins. She was told that it had been occupied by a family by the name of Sutton. Church records showed: Yes, a Mary Sutton had died after giving birth to her
