Signs of Reincarnation provides a systematic, inter-disciplinary examination of beliefs in as well as evidence for reincarnation that will appeal to students of anthropology, religious studies, philosophy, and the psychology of consciousness and memory, as well as parapsychology. Matlock discusses various ways the reincarnation evidence may be interpreted and shows that although the postmortem survival and reincarnation of consciousness entails a rejection of the materialist notion that consciousness is generated by the brain, it does not require the acceptance of any radically new concepts or the abandonment of well-established findings in mainstream psychology or biology. The book includes an extensive bibliography and a glossary of specialized and technical terms.
Industry Reviews
An excellent introduction to the important but little-known body of evidence for human rebirth. James Matlock relentlessly and properly confronts traditional beliefs, the behavior of would-be critics, and recent attempts to provide conceptual frameworks accommodating rebirth data. A major contribution! -- Edward F. Kelly, Ph.D., professor of perceptual studies, University of Virginia, coeditor of Beyond Physicalism: Toward Reconciliation of Science and Spirituality
Matlock writes a compelling history and analysis of the data supporting cases suggestive of reincarnation. As a neuroscientist, I believe that the data from many cases reported by Matlock and others concerning memories of past lives, cannot be easily explained by any other alternative hypothesis. -- Marjorie Woollacott, Ph.D., emeritus professor of neuroscience, University of Oregon, author of Infinite Awareness: The Awakening of a Scientific Mind
Matlock has written the first comprehensive exploration of reincarnation across cultures. Signs of Reincarnation should be read by anyone seriously interested in the many facets of reincarnation. -- Robert Rosenberg, Ph.D., historian of science and technology, former editor, Thomas Edison Papers at Rutgers University
Matlock's work, particularly his processual soul theory, deserves to be carefully considered by all hard scientists, psychologists, anthropologists, and philosophers, especially in the context of our materialistic world and our understanding of science. -- Antonia Mills, Ph.D., professor emerita, First Nations Studies University of Northern British Columbia Canada.
In this cogently reasoned, appropriately critical, and extremely well sourced book, Matlock makes a strong case for the reincarnation hypothesis, largely by demonstrating that it accounts for the full range of data and case reports better than the paranormal and conventional alternatives. A must read for anyone with a scholarly interest in post-mortem survival and an open mind. -- John Palmer, Ph.D., former research director, Rhine Research Center, former editor, Journal of Parapsychology
