Do You Believe In Regression?

Question

I have often seen stage hypnotists take people back to the time before they were born, and they have been a different person. Do you believe that we do keep coming back as someone else, or do you believe that we go to heaven/h**l, or do you just think that when we die, it all ends there and we don't carry on?

Answer 1

Two part answer:

1. When people are in a hypnotic trance, they are suggestible and compliant. So if you ask, "Tell what you were doing in the year 1850," they will give you an answer. It might even be rich in detail and compelling.

2. You cannot scientifically prove or disprove a phenomenon that you cannot observe and measure in an objective way. In reference to #1, you would need to check historical records to see if what they told you could be true. However, there is little chance of success at this. Also, nobody has been able to devise a methodology that will determine that any kind of existence follows death. This does not "prove" that there is no after-death existence; it just means that there is no evidence to support the claim.

The stage show that you saw was theatrical, nothing more.
