Rational Spirituality....

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."

I have less than zero faith in hypnotic regression. I think hypnotic states basically provide a blank slate to be written on, not a clear view into the mind.

Scientific research and testing have reinforced the need for skepticism in this area. It is not reliable evidence, by any stretch of the imagination. Just look at the Satanic scares in the 80s to see how easy it is for people to be accidentally programmed to have false memories while in these states.

But Iymlad, that's really interesting (what your 4 year old told you).
