(23,512 posts)All he investigated), he explains his methodology. The cases are fascinating! Everyone's favorite has to be the toddler in LA who gave so many clues as to a WWII identity. To dismiss that case is to simply refuse to consider any view other than what one wants to believe. However, my favorite is the kid in OK who remembered another identity and his mother made the effort to prove or disprove. But, I always laugh to myself when I picture that middle class kid in OK one day shouting to his mother that "he just wasn't supposed to live like this!!!" He'd been complaining about the loss of all the things he used to have in Hollywood in the Twenties!
Stevenson was a psychiatrist at U. VA., who was eventually funded his own chair by the CEO of Xerox. So, now all the naysayers here can scream that all Stevenson's research is useless because it was tainted by a donor.
Please be advised that if you are absolutely compelled to insist via a reply here that all survival of memory and a consciousness beyond death is pure fantasy, you are within your rights to do so. It would be nice if you could try to not come off as a stubborn mule, but that might be expecting way too much. For those who have experienced paranormal events, I advise you to totally ignore the rude replies. It's not our job nor is it needed to convince anyone of our opinion, just as it's not their place to invade our minds.
Have a great day!
