DAVID: Wow. Supports my idea of species consciousness:-http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/bering-in-mind/2013/11/02/ian-stevensons-case-for-t...-Many thanks for this amazing article. I do hope BBella will read it, as it ties in with many of her ideas. What's described here is clearly reincarnation, but it's interesting that the memories fade ... as if a new identity gradually erases the earlier one. It also ties in with the cell memory article, in which some patients with transplants "inherit" character traits and memories of the donor. Quite different from NDEs, because then the identity returns to its original host. With all these strange phenomena, though, third party confirmation of otherwise unknowable information lends authenticity.-I can see very clearly how it all ties in with the concept of individual identities surviving the death of individual bodies, but perhaps, David, you could elaborate on how you think it supports the idea of species consciousness.
