Past life regressionist Brian Jamieson then joins to discuss his 33 years and more than 25,000 regressions using a non-hypnotic technique he developed in 1968. Jamieson reports a 98 percent success rate and describes cases where subjects recalled lives on other planets and in other galaxies. He explains how phobias, birth defects, and even sexual orientation may trace back to traumatic events in previous incarnations, citing specific cases of Holocaust survivors whose tattoo numbers were verified through Jewish records.
Art and Jamieson explore when souls enter the body, finding no cases of incarnation before the first trimester. They discuss karma as a fair system of restitution rather than punishment, the concept of soulmates reuniting across lifetimes, and how the early Christian church voted reincarnation out of accepted doctrine at the Council of Nicaea.
Key Moments
Art Bell calls for nuclear retaliation: Fed up with daily terror warnings against the Statue of Liberty and other landmarks, Art proposes that any further bio, chem, or dirty-bomb attack should trigger U.S. tactical nuclear strikes on the Bekaa Valley, the Pakistani-Afghan border and Iraqi weapons sites.
How Jamieson invented his non-hypnotic method: Inspired by the Bridey Murphy story, Jamieson recounts being regressed into a boring life as a Dutch blacksmith, then having his own non-hypnotic technique pop into his head as he fell asleep, jumping success rates from 20% to 98%.
Why phobias are past-life souvenirs: Jamieson explains his clinical observation that phobias and panic attacks are almost always past-life trauma triggered by a present-day stimulus - a mouse running across a foot reigniting memory of rats in a dungeon.
The German soldier who came back with a club foot: Asked why a child would be born with a birth defect, Jamieson tells a regression case: a man with a club foot turns out to have been a Wehrmacht soldier who froze to death walking home from the Russian front, returning deformed so he could never be drafted again.
