twan:

I completely see where you are coming from. But much of this does seem rational to me, though clearly supported by concepts that cannot be clearly proven (or disproven).

Here's an example ...

A few weeks ago my 4 year old son explained to my wife and I (without provocation or any previous related discussion) how #6 works. It completely blew our minds and provided me with affirmation for what already seemed to make sense.

For me, in my mind, rational extrapolations can grow from seeds of affirmation ... and both can be used to solidify ones understanding.

Rational Spirituality.... -- amadaun, 17:20:07 03/14/06 Tue [1]

As I understand it, the movement prefers modern day research,and understandings, rather than blind faith in books written long ago, by people with unknown agendas.
I think it also encourages you to think and learn for yourself, and doesn't set up boundaries.

My mum just ordered the 'The Book of the Soul' from the site, so I can't wait to get a look at that when she's read it.

From the site-
"The Rational Spirituality Movement is an emerging worldwide association of like-minded individuals who share a common spiritual worldview based on the dual concepts of reincarnation and karma. This worldview is fundamentally different from any that has gone before because it is based on rationality and analysis of modern evidence, not on faith and belief in "revealed wisdom", and because it places the emphasis on karmic learning and personal responsibility. The evidence comes primarily from modern research in theoretical physics, and into areas such as near death experiences, children who remember past lives, and past life and interlife regression."
