The Search for Yesterday: A Critical Examination of the Evidence for Reincarnation

By D. Scott Rogo

Book Overview

In this thorough and balanced account, researcher D. Scott Rogo offers a critical and scientific examination of reincarnation. He considers the various forms of past-life recall (dreams, waking visions, d?j? vu), the most impressive case studies, and the history of research into reincarnation. He then concludes the book with an examination of explanatory models that can account for the phenomenon. Rogo concludes that some people can indeed tap into the memories of other people, cultures, and places long removed in time, but proposes that the evidence might be pointing to something more complex than our traditional views of reincarnation.

Customer Reviews

Historical overview of reincarnation research.

D. Scott Rogo offers a thorough, balanced account of the history of research into reincarnation. He breaks the phenomenon of past-life recall into its key areas, provides extremely strong case-studies, and then examines the possible alternative explanations. With a rare ability to look objectively at all possibilities, he avoids the dogmatic error of assuming "all or nothing". This book provides a solid background for this area of study, but is also worth reading just for the strength of the collected cases. He is unafraid of presenting cases which support reincarnation, telepathy, and cryptoamnesia, and suggests that all three may be present in any case suggestive of reincarnation.
