Past Lives for Ellen DeGeneres and Comedian Louis Anderson
In a session with trance medium Kevin Ryerson, I asked Ahtun Re, the spirit guide that Kevin channels who has demonstrated the ability to make reincarnation identifications with a high degree of accuracy, for a past life for media figure Ellen DeGeneres. Ahtun Re told me that she was a silent movie actress who was featured in movies produced by the comedic actor Fatty Arbuckle.
Past Lives for Oprah Winfrey And Gayle King
A past life for Ellen as the actress Virginia Vance was later confirmed in a session with Kevin Ryerson | Ahtun Re. To view this case, as well as past lives for Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King, please go to:
Louis Anderson as the Reincarnation of Fatty Arbuckle
At the time, a past life for Arbuckle in the silent movie era was not identified, but a supporter of ReincarnationResearch.com provided the hypothesis that Fatty Arbuckle had reincarnated as the contemporary comedian Louis Anderson.
A physical resemblance between Arbuckle and Anderson was obvious and in a subsequent session with Kevin Ryerson, Ahtun Re concurred that Louis Anderson was Fatty Arbuckle in a past lifetime.
Physical Resemblance in Reincarnation Cases: The facial features of Fatty Arbuckle and Louis Anderson are very similar. Also the facial features of Ellen DeGeneres, Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King are consistent with their past life personas.
Past Life Talent: Fatty Arbuckle was one of the most successful comedians of the silent movie era. Similarly, Louis Anderson has been a very successful comedian in contemporary times.
Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King also demonstrate talents from their past lives.
Please note that there is no political motive in this article.
Lin-Manuel Miranda as the Reincarnation of Aaron Burr and Past Life Karma
When the musical Hamilton became a sensation in the United States and I learned that it was written by Lin-Manuel Miranda, a composer and lyricist of Puerto Rican descent, I wondered why Miranda was motivated to create a musical celebrating the life of Alexander Hamilton.
I suspected that there was a past life and karmic connection. My immediate intuition was that Miranda was Aaron Burr in a past incarnation, as Burr had killed Hamilton in a duel fought with pistols. It made sense that if Burr ended Hamilton’s life and political career, from a karmic point of view, the soul of Burr would have the desire to resurrect Hamilton in public consciousness.
Though at the time, I did not know the appearance of Miranda, I found that the facial features of Burr and Miranda did match.
In researching Burr, the only reference I could find regarding any interest in theatre or music revealed that Burr financed his daughter, Theodosia, to be trained in music and dance.
In a session with Kevin Ryerson, Ahtun Re, the spirit guide that the Kevin channels, who has demonstrated the ability to make past life matches with a high degree of accuracy, affirmed that Lin-Manuel Miranda is the reincarnation of Aaron Burr.
Of interest, the prime narrator in the the musical Hamilton is Aaron Burr. As such, Miranda, as the reincarnation of Burr, speaks in his own voice regarding his portrayal of the protagonist of his musical, Alexander Hamilton.
Past Life Talents
Usually, souls show the same abilities and interests from lifetime to lifetime. To review reincarnation cases that demonstrate this principle, please go to:
As such, Aaron Burr’s career as a military and political figure is not consistent with Miranda’s career as a theatre figure. People can have secondary traits relative to their primary interests. For example, Thomas Jefferson, who was a nemesis to Burr, was a musician as well as a political figure.
On the other hand, Lin-Manuel Miranda has demonstrated political activism, meeting with United States’ politicians to urge financial relief for Puerto Rico.
Burr may have had past lives focused on music and theatre. One must keep in mind that during the American Revolution, there were few careers available in music and theater. The founding of the American nation had a Puritan heritage, in which theater was considered the “work of the devil.”
Past Life Karma
In portraying the life of Alexander Hamilton, whose image is provided to the right, in contemporary times as a hero of the American Revolution, Miranda has resurrected the persona he killed in a past lifetime, Hamilton.
There is another karmic connection involved in these cases, as President John Adams was one of Aaron Burr’s few public advocates. In addition, Adams was not a supporter of Hamilton, who wanted to start a war between the United States and France. Adams quashed Hamilton’s wish to become the Commander-In-Chief of this proposed war, as Adams perceived that financially and politically, the fledging American nation could not survive this proposed conflict.
Historians agree that John Adams’ analysis was correct, though his decision to avoid war with France led to his reelection defeat, as Hamilton, who was a member of the same political party, the Federalists, worked against Adams in an effort to elect his own political ally.
Elon Musk, Who has been Identified as the Reincarnation of Thomas Edison, Also Neutralizes Karma with Nikola Tesla
As Lin-Manuel Miranda | Aaron Burr seems to have made amends with the soul of Alexander Hamilton, the same situation has happened regarding the reincarnation of Thomas Edison. Edison was in fierce competition with Nikola Tesla regarding how to delivery electricity to the emerging, American, industrial nation.
Edison favored a system involving Direct Electrical Current (DC), while Tesla promoted his invention of Alternating Current (AC). Edison fought a bitter battle, but ultimately Tesla’s system won out.
Edison was a wealthy man at the end of his life, while Tesla died poor in a room of the New Yorker hotel.
I believe that Thomas Edison | Elon Musk named his electric car company Tesla in a karmic nod to his past life adversary.
To review the reincarnation cases of Thomas Edison | Elon Musk and past life associates such as J.P Morgan, please go to:
Physical Resemblance in Reincarnation Cases: The facial architecture of Aaron Burr and Lin-Manuel Miranda is consistent. The facial features of Alexander Hamilton and Alexander Haig are also similar.
Past Life and Karmic Relationships: Alexander Hamilton was killed by Aaron Burr, who reincarnated as Lin-Manuel Miranda, who has equalized that karma by resurrecting Hamilton’s image in contemporary times.
In addition, there seem to be a past life and karmic relationships between President John Adams, Aaron Burr | Lin-Manuel Miranda and Alexander Hamilton.
Bryce Dudal as the Reincarnation of Ludwig Von Beethoven
A friend of mine, who has followed my work in reincarnation research, brought to my attention the musical performance of a teenage pizza delivery guy named Bryce Dudal, who, after delivering a pizza to a family who owns a baby grand piano, performed a flawless performance of a composition by Ludwig Von Beethoven.
A video of this performance was posted on social media, which led to Bryce Dudal being featured on an episode of the EllenDeGeneres Show. In comments made on social media regarding this DeGeneres episode, people noted that not only did Bryce Dudal perform Beethoven passionately, they noted that Bryce has an uncanny physical resemblance to Ludvig Van Beethoven.
Ellen DeGeneres Gifts a Piano to Bryce Dudal, Who Aspires to be a Beethoven Concert Pianist
As part of the Ellen DeGeneres show, Bryce Dudal was gifted a Yamaha piano. Bryce told Ellen that his dream is to play piano, particularly the compositions of Ludwig Von Beethoven, to audiences around the world.
In a session that I had with Kevin Ryerson, who channels a spirit guide named Ahtun Re who has demonstrated the ability to make past life matches with a high degree of accuracy, it was confirmed that Bryce Dudal is an incarnation of Ludwig Von Beethoven.
Gustavo Dudame, Los Angeles Philharmonic Conductor, as Another Incarnation of Beethoven
Of interest, I posted another incarnation of Beethoven years ago, in which the conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, Gustavo Dudame, was also identified as a reincarnation of Beethoven. An image of Dudame in a tuxedo is provided to the right.
Facial features of Beethoven, Gustavo Dudame and Bryce Dudal are consistent. Click on images to enlarge them.
Split Reincarnation Cases or Parallel Lives
The reincarnation cases involving Bryce and Gustavo represent cases of Split Incarnation, in which a soul can animate two bodies at a time.
Ian Stevenson, MD of the University of Virginia also documented Split Incarnation cases. Stevenson termed these as “Cases with Anomalous Dates,” as lifetimes in these cases overlapped in time.
Ellen DeGeneres as the Reincarnation of Comedic Actress Virginia Vance
In addition, a past life of Ellen DeGeneres has been established. To learn more, please go to:
Physical Resemblance in Reincarnation Cases: The facial features of Ludwig Von Beethoven, Bryce Dudal and Gustavo Dudame are consistent. Ellen DeGeneres also has the same facial features as Virginia Vance. Click on images to enlarge them.
Past Life Talent and Reincarnation Prodigies: The musical talent of Ludwig Von Beethoven appears in the lives of Bryce Dudal and Gustavo Dudame. The comedic abilities of Virginia Vance are observed in the career of Ellen DeGeneres.
Split Incarnation or Parallel Lives: Beethoven has reincarnated in the personas of Bryce Dudal and Gustavo Dudame, who are incarnate at the same time.
Source: Communication from the deceased in this case was facilitated through the direct voice mediumship of Leslie Flint. George Woods and Betty Greene were present during tape recordings of Flint’s mediumship sessions and they asked questions of the deceased, who spoke in their own natural voices. Neville Randall reviewed these recordings and summarized the dialogues in his book, Life After Death. Dialogue in the article provided below has been slightly edited to make it more concise.
Lionel Barrymore describes his Arrival in the Spirit World
In a session that occurred on February 9, 1957, a voice with an American accent came through. Betty Greene recognized the voice as that of the actor Lionel Barrymore, who had died two years before of a heart attack while watching television in his Hollywood home.
(Barrymore is best known for his role as the nasty banker, Mr. Potter, in the classic movie, It’s a Wonderful Life, whose star was Jimmy Stewart. In the photo provided to the above, Barrymore is seated and Stewart is standing with finger pointed at Barrymore).
Betty Greene asked, “You are Lionel Barrymore, aren’t you?”
“Yes, how did you know that?”
George Woods: “When you first passed over, how did you find things? Did you find a world similar to this one?”
“Well, I would say similar. In certain respects, similar as far as nature is concerned. But I certainly didn’t see any streetcars and automobiles, and all that kind of thing. But then again, I understand on the lower spheres nearer to Earth, those things exist. Everything is a matter of the state of mind of the people who inhabit that particular place.
When I first came here, I remember quite well waking up in a beautiful garden. Not unlike a garden I had been very fond of in my youth. And my father and mother were there. When I open my eyes, there was my mother just as I have remembered her when she was a much younger woman. It was a wonderful experience.
Then a crowd of friends came and made themselves known to me. People that I had known in my earlier years.
It seemed in my first experience that I was meeting people that I had known way back when I was quite a young lad. As you know, when I became older, I had a crotchety leg, and trouble one way and another, and I often used to daydream back into my youth. I guess that as I passed over, my last Earthly thoughts were to do with my earlier years.
Pets in Heaven
I have a dog here that I was very fond of. If anyone had told me years ago on Earth that animals existed after death, I would not have believed it.
I never really believed that dogs and cats and horses had a soul. I realize now that we are very much responsible for the animal kingdom and that they depend a great deal more on us than we realize.
I also have my brother John with me. We did not always hit it off on Earth, but we get on very well here.”
Theatre in Afterlife features Morality Plays
Woods: “How do you spend your life on that side? What do you do?”
“Well, I’m still interested in the theater. We do have entertainment, I suppose you would call it, although it is not exactly that. Everything we do here has a motive, has a purpose. Every play that is produced, and everything that is achieved and done here has a real purpose, not only just to give people pleasure and entertainment.
For instance, we put on plays that you’d call morality plays into the lower spheres and we reproduce the lives of certain individuals that we see in the audience. It helps them to see themselves as they really are. In consequence, they begin to think more deeply and it helps them to sort themselves out and desire a better existence.
I have met Florenz Ziegfield and a crowd of others here who still produce what you’d call kind of extravaganzas.
(In the photo provided to the right, Ziegfield is standing in the middle, surrounded by his showgirls.}
Here we treat nature in the true sense, and in the right way. Here we are very conscious of the great gifts that have been bestowed on us in every sense and every way. All types of people here find all sort of interesting work to do. There are some that create beautiful clothes, others who design beautiful pictures, or perhaps scenery for our plays. There are others who compose great music.
Music in the Afterlife
Music here which is far removed from anything you’ve heard on Earth–orchestras numbering several hundreds of people and each one an artist. Here some of the great composers have composed new works, so magnificent that I couldn’t begin to tell you. As they are playing you can see the atmosphere changing lights and colors. It is a most magnificent sight. Oh, I could go on telling you all kinds of things.”
Woods: “What sort of theaters are there? What are they like? Are they like theaters on Earth?”
“Yes. Some are very like theaters on Earth, and some are very far removed. We have the kind of theater very much like what you see on Earth, with beautiful ceiling and carpeting, and the auditorium beautifully appointed and all that sort of thing. Also, we have great open amphitheaters in natural surroundings. Here are produced all kinds of plays. Great plays from the earliest times, and by men and women who’ve made an art of writing and producing and acting.”
Shakespeare in Heaven
All the great plays of Shakespeare are produced here, and what is more interesting still newer plays, greater plays, much greater plays than you know on Earth. And Shakespeare is still writing and producing and acting too.”
Woods: “Do they still write plays in the same style as they did?”
“No. As one gains more experience in a new existence, naturally your style changes. If Shakespeare were living today, he would write great plays as he does on this side, but of course they would be in the modern idiom. Sometimes I come back to Earth and go to your theaters, watch the acting and plays. With a few exceptions, most of it is pretty bad.”
(Note from Walter Semkiw: In contemporary times, Shakespeare reincarnated as the African-America playwright August Wilson, who the press has dubbed an “American Shakespeare.” This reincarnation case is featured in my book Born Again.)
Woods: “Have you met Shakespeare?”
“I have met Shakespeare, and I can settle the argument once and for all. There is no doubt about it. He wrote his own plays. It doesn’t mean to say he didn’t sometimes use old plays and refurbish them. But you can take it from me that when you have a Shakespeare play, it’s Shakespeare’s”
Singers in the Afterlife
Woods: “Have you met any famous singers on your side?”
“Sure, I have met many a famous singer here.”
Woods: “Kathleen Farron. Have you met her?”
“Kathleen Ferrier, you mean. The young English lady who passed over some years ago. Yes, I met her. She’s a magnificent soul and she has a wonderful voice. You know half her charm was not only her voice, but her wonderful personality and character. It came out in her voice. I’ve listened to many a great artists on Earth, but I have known them to be like wild cats backstage, quite different to their voice. But this one you are talking about is quite different.”
Barrymore paused and then returned.
“Sorry to have to break away like that, but it is quite an effort to talk at length. I’ll come and speak to you again some other time.”
Playwright Oscar Wilde describes his Life in Heaven
Five years later on August 20, 1962, a rich and fruity male voice came through.
Betty Greene: “Mr. Wilde, can you tell us something of your life on the other side? What are you doing?”
“I must admit, it’s a relief to be asked to discuss one’s life over here in preference to one’s own life on Earth. Because in any case my life on Earth is pretty well-known among gossip mongers. If I were to say to you that my life here is not unlike my life on Earth, you would probably be horrified. But it happens to be perfectly true. And I’ve no regrets about it whatsoever!
I’m perfectly happy and perfectly contented, and I live a life of delicious sin. It is no longer sin here to be human and to be natural. But on Earth to be natural is to be sinful. Over here one can be sinful because it is natural. The world has strange ideas of sin. I live a natural existence here, and I’m perfectly happy.”
Woods: “What are you doing?”
“Actually, seriously, I’m still writing and I’m still having my plays performed, and I’m often called on to go down into the lower spheres to help.
Strange, no doubt, you may think, that I should be called to the lower spheres to help!
Probably, I’m more suitable to help people on the lower spheres because I haven’t progressed very much myself! But actually, I’m very much in tune with all peoples. My mind, I trust, gives me entry even if my reputation does not! My reputation does not worry me, but it seems to worry a hell of a lot of people on your side!
More money has been made out of my reputation since my death than ever I was able to make out with my plays, which goes to say that sin is very successful.”
Betty Greene: “You always had a very open mind, didn’t you?”
“I was always ready to receive inspiration. Indeed, I might say that my most successful works were due to the fact that I had an open mind, and in consequence much was poured through it of inspiration-which was highly successful.
I feel sure that if it were not for the fact that I was high-minded, you wouldn’t have had perhaps some of the successful works that I was able to perform. But, of course, all this is a matter of dispute among many people. One man’s rat poison is another man’s meat.
So many people when on Earth were so serious that they couldn’t to fail to be utterly boring. I refuse to join such a gathering. This I do deliberately because there will always be people who will say, how do we know that this was Oscar Wilde?
And so I am expected to come back very much the same, with the sort of things that would be expected of me. For your sakes I do this because I know, poor dears, you’re struggling so desperately hard to convince. And if I can assist you to convince, then I shall be doing some good work, and it may wipe out some of my blots!”
Betty Greene” “Mr. Wilde since you been on the other side, have you learnt anything?”
“I’d be a strange person if I hadn’t learned something after being here so long. We all learn whether we like it or not. Whether we are apt pupils or not we all learn, no matter how bad the teacher.”
Betty Greene: “Can you describe your actual passing?”
“Oh, I died like everybody else. Actually, seriously, I was met by my mother.”
Woods: “And how did you find things there?”
People are the Same in the Afterlife, including in Appearance
“Well, naturally, you do can’t go to a strange country without finding it vastly different. But the extraordinary and interesting thing is, the people were the same. Situations may be different, but the people, thank God, were the same.
They still looked the same. They still are the same. And in consequence one felt at home. I’ve met many people that I had admired and many I didn’t admire and have learned to admire for different reasons.
Oscar Wilde travels to Multiple Spheres in the Spirit World
And I have traveled a great deal, went to many places, many spheres, many countries if you would like to call them such, because in a sense they are.
There are no barriers, only barriers of oneself within oneself, and one’s own mind. The barriers between human relationships and peoples are within oneself. They are man-made. One learns to discard them.
When one has been here even for a short time, one realizes very much we are all part of the other. All God’s children eventually begin to merge, although they retain their individuality and separate personality. We all begin to merge until we are harmonious and in consequence we live in a condition of peace, and quietude in harmony, where all and each can have his or her interest, such as it may be.
Some feel the urge and need to work in various ways. Others do not. I prefer to continue to write, because writing was, to a great extent, my life.
Betty Greene: “Your trial it has been enacted several times.”
“Yes, yes I know. It has been the most highly successful part of my career.”
Betty Greene: “I expect, everybody has regrets when they pass over. Do you had some regrets, perhaps something you didn’t do while you were on Earth?”
“My first regret was that I didn’t stay longer on your side! I still had desires. I still wanted to write further. I wanted to reinstate myself, and strange as it may seem, in human society. Not that I ever felt completely outside it. But I was sufficiently vain to assume that I could recapture my old place in the world. But that was such a long time ago. Since then I’ve changed”
Betty Greene: “Have you met Bernard Shaw on that side?”
“Oh, I have met Shaw. What a man! Extraordinary character.”
Nature Exists in the Afterlife, but Without Pests
Betty Greene: “What’s it like on your side. The plane you are on. Could you tell us something about that? You’ve got theaters, haven’t you? You still write plays on that side?”
“Oh, one still writes. One still continues. Our world, in some senses, as no doubt you’ve heard, is very similar to your Earth. We have all manner of scenery, which you are accustomed to, even more beautiful. As you know, nature exists here, but the more irritating aspects of nature are nonexistent to us.
For instance, we don’t have the pests, such as flies, and all the irritating things that nature concocts to annoy man. These things seem to have disappeared, fortunately. We seem to have all the beauty and loveliness of nature without all the petty irritants. No more swatting flies!”
Cities and Animals in Heaven
George Woods: “What are the buildings like on your side?”
“There are all manner of buildings, but on the sphere on which I live they are all elegant, of great beauty.”
George Woods: “Are there towns or cities?”
“Yes, you can call them cities. There are cities in which untold thousands of people live and have their habitat, but so different, and yet, in some ways, so like old. We don’t have cars, but horses we still have.
I sometimes think that animals are more advanced than humans. At least they follow their natural instincts and they are not, in consequence, considered to be doing anything wrong.”
Betty Greene: “Do you have a house yourself where you can write?”
One Creates One’s Own Dwelling in Heaven
“Yes, I do. A very beautiful house. A house after my own heart. But then again in a sense I suppose it is because I myself created it. Without even realizing it, I was creating it before I came here by my thoughts.”
Betty Green: “Have you a garden?”
“I have a garden. Not too large, but sufficient. I was never one for outdoor life. I appreciated nature, but I preferred to watch nature from a distance rather than to always be underneath her glaring light.
I must go. May God bless you.”
Stephen Fry as the Reincarnation of Oscar Wilde
Of interest, Oscar Wilde has been identified as in contemporary times as the British actor, writer and activist, Stephen Fry. Click on the image to enlarge it.
Trance Medium Kevin Ryerson and the Spirit Being Ahtun Re
A medium is an individual who has the God-given gift of being able to communicate and work with spirits. Most founders of major religions were mediums.
I have been blessed to work with Kevin Ryerson, a world-famous trance medium, who has been featured in the four of Shirley MacLaine’s books. The way that Kevin works is that he goes into a meditative state or a trance, much like sleep, and he allows spirit beings to use his vocal cords to speak to human beings. I have worked with Kevin monthly since 2001.
Kevin channels a spirit guide named Ahtun Re who has demonstrated the ability to make past life matches with a high degree of accuracy. When Ahtun Re communicates though Kevin, Kevin’s voice, accent, facial expressions and mannerisms change. Ahtun Re has an engaging sense of humor. Though Kevin is well read, Ahtun Re has an encyclopedic fund of information, which neither Kevin nor I possess.
Ahtun Re not only can control Kevin’s vocal cords, he can control Kevin’s entire body. When Kevin has led transformational travel tours to the Peruvian archaeological site of Machu Picchu, Ahtun Re would have Kevin put on a blindfold and then lead Kevin’s tour group on narrow cliff paths.
Ahtun Re has shared that he is a product of human evolution and that his last incarnation was about 3500 years ago in ancient Egypt, where he was a military general under the Pharaoh Akhenaten. Ahtun Re has related that when his family was killed by an enemy force, he renounced violence and became a priest in the temples of Egypt.
The Physical Mediumship of Daniel Dunglas Home | Uri Geller
A different kind of medium is a physical medium, who facilitates the ability of spirit people to manipulate energy and matter. One of the most famous physical mediums in history is Daniel Dunglas Home (pronounced Hume), who produced the movement and levitation of physical objects, including levitating himself.
In my work, it has been revealed that Home reincarnated as Uri Geller, who is the most famous physical medium of contemporary times. Uri is perhaps best known for spoon bending. Both Home and Geller were studied by the eminent scientists of their day. These scientists observed the movement of physical objects of Home | Geller under laboratory conditions and these scientists concluded that the phenomena that Home and Geller produced were genuine.
When I asked Ahtun Re why Home and Geller were able to produce these incredible phenomena while the vast majority of people cannot, Ahtun Re told me that it was because of the high-level energy field that the soul of Home | Geller possesses. Both Home and Geller have claimed that they had no knowledge or understanding of how the phenomena they produced occurred. Home and Geller concluded that these phenomena were orchestrated by spirit beings, though they did not know who these entities were.
The reincarnation case of Daniel Douglas Home | Uri Geller, which is supported by Uri Geller, is featured in my book Born Again.
Uri Geller: “The Hair Just Went Up on the Back of my Neck”
I am proud to share that when I telephoned Uri to inform him that through my work with Kevin, he had been identified as the reincarnation of D. D. Home, he told me: “The hair went just went up on the back of my neck.” After a couple weeks of considering the past life match, Uri accepted that he is the reincarnation of Home and Uri gave me permission to include the Home | Geller case in my Born Again book. It gives me great pleasure to be able to relate that I made the hair go up on the back of the neck of one of the world’s greatest and most famous psychic mediums.
The Physical and Direct Voice Mediumship Leslie Flint
As such, I was particularly interested when I found out about the work of Leslie Flint, who has been proclaimed as the most gifted direct voice medium in history. In contrast to a trance medium, like Kevin Ryerson, where spirits utilize the medium’s vocal cords to communicate with human beings, a direct voice medium is able to use his or her life energy to allow spirit beings to communicate in their own natural voices through an energetic device, an energetic voice box or amplifier, a device that allows spirits to speak to human beings directly.
Physical mediums generally do not work alone. They work with a group of people who are harmonized in intent and purpose who share their own life energy to augment the physical medium’s life energy. It is like a sports team that supports their star player to accomplish a goal. This group of people interested in supporting the medium meet in what are called séances or circles. They sit in a circle to help spirits communicate through the person in the circle who has the greatest gift, or energy, as a medium.
Most people who have been involved in séances or in these circles have identified themselves as Spiritualists, as they are motivated to allow the spirits of deceased people to communicate with the living. Ectoplasm is a term Spiritualists use to describe the life energy produced by a physical medium.
Danish Physical Medium Einer Nielsen Produces Ectoplasm, which is Photographed
The photograph provided to the right features the physical medium Einer Nielsen (1894-1965). The white mesh-like material around Nielsen’s neck and draped over his lap is identified as ectoplasm. Academic professors researching Nielsen are seen holding his arms to ensure that Nielson was not using a sleight of hand, or trick, to produce his phenomena. Click on the image to enlarge it.
Leslie Flint’s Childhood and the Emergence of Psychic Gifts
Leslie Flint’s development as a physical medium was not smooth. In his autobiography, Voices in the Dark: My Life as aMedium, Flint, who grew up in poverty in England during World W I, describes how he unexpectedly and naively developed his powers as a physical medium. He tells his story in an extremely humorous fashion. There are not many books that I have read that have made me laugh out loud, but this is one of them.
Let me share an experience that Flint had when he was sitting in the circle of a Spiritualist named Ms. Cook, who had reason to believe that Leslie Flint had the potential to become a world-class medium, though Flint himself found this hard to believe. Ms. Cook told her circle that she was guided by a highly advanced spirit named Shu-Shu, who was once incarnate as a very high priestess in an ancient Egyptian temple dedicated to the Egyptian goddess Isis.
After Leslie, at a height of 5 foot and 2 inches, was sitting in Ms. Cook’s circle for over a year, unexpectantly, Ms. Cook herself fell into a trance. Her spirit guide Shu-Shu then spoke through Ms. Cook and said that she would demonstrate a sacred dance ritual that she, Shu-Shu, had performed as a high priestess in ancient Egypt.
The Egyptian Spirit Guide Shu-Shu Performs a Dance through Ms. Cook
In his autobiography, Leslie Flint describes the scene:
“Ms. Cook was far from being a sylph, she was broad in the beam and her bosoms were of Earth Mother proportions.
In trance, this substantial figure rose from her chair and moved to the center of the circle where she began to dance.
She gyrated her hips and weaved her arms, the while chanting what sounded gibberish to me but was acclaimed enthusiastically by the others as ancient Egyptian. The bounteous bosoms flopped alarmingly as the dance grew more energetic, first to one side and then to the other, and the arms kept weaving like tentacles of a busy octopus.
I wanted to look away, I was embarrassed for Ms. Cook, but try as I might my eyes were glued to the spectacle.
I knew it would happen, I tried desperately to stop it, but I started to giggle, at first subdued by sheer will power to a series of choked hiccups, but as the gyrating and weaving and the flopping went on I completely lost control of myself and I laughed and laughed until the tears streamed down my face.
The more shocked and angry the other members of the circle looked, the more I laughed until at last Ms. Cook came out of her trance and with a look which withered me to ashes sat down in her chair again.
Later, when Ms. Cook saw me to the front door to bid me good night it was no surprise to me that she said, quite kindly, under the circumstances, ‘I really think, dear, you are still too young and perhaps too excitable to continue your development at present. It would be best if you didn’t come here again.’ She opened the door and I saw it was raining heavily outside…
But kind, forgiving Mrs. Cook, to soften the blow she had dealt me, put her arms around me with the obvious intention of giving me an affectionate farewell kiss. I was touched by her generosity but, reluctant to be pressed to that bounteous bosom, I stepped aside and with all the gaucherie of my 17 years trod heavily on her foot.
‘Right on my corn, you clumsy oaf!’ she cried in agony, and mumbling apologies I went out into the night in the rain…
I had made my decision. I would give up the whole business of trying to be a medium.”
Leslie Flint’s Parents Abandon Him and Young Leslie Spontaneously Experiences Clairvoyance
Leslie at 4 Years of Age with his Mother and Father
Let us start from the beginning regarding the development of Leslie Flint’s physical mediumship. Flint was born in 1911 in England. His father left the family when he was a young child and his mother, who preferred partying with male companions, left Leslie to live with her mother. As such, Leslie was raised by his maternal grandmother in conditions of poverty.
His first psychic experience occurred when he was 7 years old, during World War I. Leslie was in his grandmother’s kitchen when his aunt walked in crying, sharing that her husband Alf had been killed in the war. Leslie had never met Alf. A soldier accompanied Nell carrying Alf’s possessions. Leslie then saw a second soldier walk in who appeared very sad, who started pulling on Aunt Nell’s sleeve to get her attention, though Nell seemed to be completely unaware of this man. Suddenly, the man completely disappeared. Later, when Nell showed Leslie a photograph of Alf, Leslie recognized him as the sad soldier who was tugging at Nell’s sleeve. When Alf revealed this to Nell and his grandmother, both told Leslie that he was lying. When Leslie persisted in saying this is who he saw, his grandmother gave him a “clout” to punish him for telling untruths.
In another incident, when Leslie came home from school, he heard voices in the kitchen. One voice was that of his grandmother and the other was a woman’s voice who he did not recognize. When Leslie went into the kitchen he saw his grandmother silently sewing and standing by her side was a woman with a large mole on her chin. This woman with the mole then vanished.
When Leslie asked his grandmother what happened to the woman she was talking to, she replied that she had been all alone that afternoon and that Leslie was imagining things. When Leslie mentioned that the woman had a large mole on her chin, his grandmother clouted him again. She then revealed that the woman Leslie was describing was Ms. Pugh, who had been buried a month before. Leslie learned not to talk about vanishing people. The psychic gift of being able to see spirit people is called clairvoyance.
Leslie Flint Enjoys Praise from his Teacher, Mr. Lewis
In his autobiography, Flint admitted that he was a poor student, but one class in which he excelled in was art. His schoolmaster, Mr. Edwin Lewis, recognized Leslie’s talent and encouraged his development as an artist. Mr. Lewis had served in the trenches of World War I where he suffered a poison gas attack that caused lung injury which resulted in him to having a hacking cough for the rest of his life. When he died, Mr. Lewis was given a military funeral.
Leslie becomes a Fan of Silent Movie Star Rudolph Valentino
When Leslie was 12 years old, he found a job doing housework. With the money he earned, he and his grandmother would go to the movies, which Leslie loved. Rudolph Valentino was one of their favorite silent movie stars. In two of Valentino’s most famous movies, The Sheik and The Son of Sheik, he played the part of an Arab. A colorized photograph of Valentino in his sheik costume is provided to the right.
At age 13, when unemployment was high in post-war England, Leslie Flint was fortunate to find a regular job as a groundskeeper in a cemetery. His supervisor, Mr. Hobbs, was a very thin, elderly man who was a know-it-all who Leslie reported wagged his “boney finger” to emphasize the wisdom of his statements.
When Leslie was 15 years old, three important events happened in his life. One was the death of his hero Rudolph Valentino, who died at the age of 31 due to complications from perforated stomach ulcers.
The second incident occurred while Leslie was doing his work chores at the cemetery. Unexpectedly, he found the grave of his dear teacher, Mr. Edwin Lewis. Leslie saw that the grave was neglected, so he trimmed the plants around the headstone and placed flowers on the grave. Later that day, his supervisor was discussing Spiritualists. Mr. Hobbs dismissed Spiritualists, noting that their endeavors were a waste of time. He shared that his own wife was planning to attend a Spiritualist meeting that very night at the Quakers Friends’ Meeting Place. Hobbs told his wife: “Them Spiritualists are after your money, you silly cow!”
Leslie had heard about Spiritualists, but he never had the opportunity encounter any of them. He decided to attend the meeting that night.
At Age 15, Leslie Flint attends his First Spiritualist Meeting, Where Mr. Lewis and Rudolph Valentino sends Him Messages
Ms. Anne Johnson was a well-known trance medium who was the headliner at the gathering. Leslie sat in the back of the room near the door, so that he could quickly escape the Spiritualists if he found the proceedings bizarre.
Ms. Johnson, on the stage, appeared to have fallen asleep in her chair. Leslie was astonished when this sleeping woman stood up and started speaking in a deep male voice. Leslie wondered if Ms. Johnson was a man masquerading as a woman. In actuality, Ms. Johnson was in a trance and she was channeling a deceased man who gave a discourse on Life Eternal.
Next, Ms. Johnson came out of trance and spoke in her own, natural, pleasant feminine voice. She told a woman in the audience that her deceased husband was standing next to her and that he wanted to convey that he no longer had the terrible pain in his chest that occurred just before he passed away. Ms. Johnson gave a detailed description of this woman’s husband, which the woman indicated was accurate.
Next, Ms. Johnson pointed straight to Leslie and said: “I want to speak to the young man in the back row.” Leslie was “petrified” by this and hoped she was referring to some other young man, but looking around, he realized he was the only young man in the vicinity.
Ms. Johnson then told Leslie: “There is a man here who wants to thank you for the flowers you put on his grave this morning. He tells me he was a schoolmaster and his name was Edwin Lewis. Do you understand this? He was given a military funeral.” Ms. Johnson also gave an accurate physical description of Mr. Lewis.
Ms. Johnson then said that in addition to Mr. Lewis, there was an Arab standing next to Leslie, who, she said, was serving as a spirit guide to Leslie. She added that this spirit guide was not really an Arab, but rather someone who dressed as an Arab. Ms. Johnson revealed that this Arab fellow wanted Leslie to develop as a medium to be of service to humanity. Ms. Johnson concluded by saying: “In the not too distant future, you will be doing the same kind of work as I am doing and you will become a very famous medium.” This was the third important thing that happened when Leslie was 15 years of age.
Leslie was impressed by Ms. Johnson’s knowledge of his tending to the grave of Mr. Lewis, but he was baffled by her statement that he would become a famous medium, as he was not aware of having psychic gifts, other than the two instances when he saw vanishing people as a child. Still, he became a regular at the Spiritualists meetings. One evening, a woman, who witnessed Ms. Johnson’s proclamation that Leslie was to become a famous medium, asked what he was going to do about it. Leslie replied: “Nothing, I’m not psychic, so what can I do about it.?”
The woman responded that she hosted a circle, that is seances, at her home. She invited Leslie to join her group. This woman was Ms. Cook, who previously stated that she was guided by the exalted spirit named Shu-Shu, who was described above.
Rudolph Valentino sends a Message to Leslie through an Woman in Germany
That night, after meeting Ms. Cook, Leslie went home to find a letter addressed to him sitting on his grandmother’s kitchen mantelpiece. The letter had a German postage stamp on it. Leslie knew no one in Germany.
Reading the letter, Leslie found that it was from a woman in Munich who had been sitting in a Spiritualist circle for some years. In a recent session, the resident medium said that a spirit was present who identified himself as Rudolph Valentino. This spirit gave the woman Leslie’s name and address in England and asked her to write to Leslie to convey the message that Leslie must develop his mediumship to be of service to mankind. Leslie then realized that it must have been Rudolph Valentino who Ms. Johnson was referring to when describing the spirit who was dressed as an Arab.
Leslie reflected that how could this woman in Germany know his name and address, since he was an unknown, poor boy in post war Britain. In the end, Leslie concluded that the dead could indeed speak through mediums.
Leslie’s Spirit Helpers Upend a Heavy Table to Demonstrate Leslie’s Psychic Powers
This letter strengthened Leslie’s resolve to attend Ms. Cook’s home circle. After he arrived, the six attendees were seated around a large, heavy table. The lights were dimmed and after ten minutes a loud rap was heard from the center of the table. Ms. Cook said the rap meant that the spirits were ready to communicate. The procedure for spirit communication in this circle was done by one member of the circle going through the alphabet and the spirits would rap on the table to indicate when a letter was pronounced that they wanted to use. By doing this repetitively, the spirits could spell their messages.
One message was a question, asking the circle members if they would like to see how much greater the power of the circle had become due to Leslie’s presence. Everyone indicated that they would. Suddenly, the large, heavy table reared up and stood on one end. Leslie couldn’t believe his eyes. The spirits then communicated that they would be working with Leslie to help him develop as a direct voice medium.
Leslie Flint becomes a Famous Direct Voice Medium and is Tested by Researchers
Leslie Flint Demonstrates his Mediumship with Colored Water in his Mouth, Tape Over his Lips and Arms Held
In the end, Leslie Flint became the most famous direct voice medium of all time, giving demonstrations of his mediumship in the largest halls in England. Flint encouraged serious investigators to test his direct voice mediumship. For example, he demonstrated his mediumship with colored water in his mouth and with adhesive tape covering his lips to exclude that the voices he produced came from his own, physical vocal cords. In addition, at the same time, his arms were either tied to a chair or held by associates, to exclude that he was manipulating any type of device.
Further, an infrared telescope or sensor was used by investigators to observe Flint while he was producing the direct voice phenomenon. Infrared radiation is produced by heat or energy sources. The infrared telescope showed the energetic or ectoplasmic voice box that spirits use to communicate. It was about two feet above and slightly to the left of Leslie’s head. This corresponds to Flint’s own perception of where the ectoplasmic voice box is located during his mediumship. Click on the images of researchers testing Flint to enlarge them.
At 60 years of age, Leslie Flint reflected that after 35 years of direct voice mediumship, he still did not understand how this phenomenon occurred. Some insight was provided during a mediumship session by a spirit who identified himself as the deceased French Physiology Professor Charles Richet, who served as the President of the Society for Psychical Research in London starting in 1905. Richet stated:
“Every living being has a substance known as ectoplasm which is a life force, and a physical medium has a great deal more of it than most people. During a séance this substance, which is sometimes referred to as the ‘power’ is drawn from the medium and fashioned by spirits who understand such matters into a replica of the physical vocal organs which is known as the ‘voice box’ or sometimes the ‘mask.’ The communicating spirit then concentrates his or her thoughts into this voice box and creates a frequency or vibration which reaches the sitters on Earth as objective sound.”
Leslie Flint Demonstrates his Mediumship while Scientists Observe the Ectoplasmic Voice Box Above his Head Using an Infrared Sensor
Professor Richet also pointed out that the communicating spirit must lower his or her own frequency to the lower one of the Earth and remember what his voice sounded like during its lifetime and recapture memories of happenings which will give proof of his or her identity to the person with whom the spirit wishes to communicate. If the communicating spirit is successful, the voice will sound like the voice it had while it was living on earth.
Light Interferes with the Use of Ectoplasm, hence Voices in the Dark
Most physical mediums must be in dark room for their mediumship to manifest. For reasons that are unclear, bright light interferes with the use of the medium’s life energy or ectoplasm. Perhaps darkness allows spirit beings to more easily perceive and thus use ectoplasm. This is why Flint’s autobiography is entitled, Voices in the Dark.
First Hand Descriptions of Heaven or the Afterlife
500 tape recordings were made of Leslie Flint’s direct voice mediumship in which deceased relatives spoke to their living loved ones in their own, recognizable voices. In addition to sharing memories with their living loved ones, these spirits also described, in detail, what their life in the spirit world is like. These tapes were reviewed by Neville Randall, who compiled descriptions of the spirit realms in his book Life After Death. These accounts are the most vivid descriptions of the spirit world that I have encountered and will be shared in subsequent articles.
Rudolph Valentino as a Past Life of John Travolta
By the way, in my work with Kevin Ryerson, it has been affirmed that Rudolph Valentino has reincarnated as the actor John Travolta. To learn more, please go to:
My intuitive friend of mine, Ishtar Ishaya, has proposed a number of reincarnation cases that have been confirmed by the spirit guide Ahtun Re, who is channeled through trance medium Kevin Ryerson. I have been working with Kevin since 2001 and over this period of time, Ahtun Re has demonstrated the ability to make past life matches with a high degree of accuracy.
Ishtar proposed that George Clooney is the reincarnation of actor Clark Gable. If that was the case, I wondered who Clooney’s wife, Amal, might have been in relation to Gable. I found that a fairly striking resemblance existed between Amal and the actress Loretta Young. Click on images to enlarge them.
Clark Gable and Loretta Young have a Child Out of Wedlock
Clark Gable and Loretta Young were the stars of the 1935 film The Call of the Wild. Gable was 34 years old at the time and Young was 22. During the production of this movie, Gable impregnated Young who later delivered a baby girl. Gable as married at the time. Though initially it was assumed that the two had an affair by mutual consent, Young later revealed that Gable forced himself on her.
One issue regarding the proposed match between Loretta Young and Amal Clooney is that Young died in Santa Monica in the year 2000, while Amal was born in Lebanon in 1978, an overlap of 22 years. If this case is valid, it would represent an example of what I call “split incarnation,” as the soul animates more than one body at a time.
There is evidence, including from the University of Virginia, that spilt incarnation does indeed occur. Ian Stevenson, MD, of the University of Virginia, called these “cases with anomalous dates,” as lifetimes overlapped. One the strongest cases that Stevenson published, which also involved suicide in the past lifetime, demonstrates split incarnation. To review this case, please go to:
In a session with Kevin Ryerson, Ahtun Re affirmed that George Clooney was Clark Gable in a past lifetime and that Amal Clooney is the reincarnation of Loretta Young.
Of interest, Amal’s father is of the Druze ethnic group, which accepts the doctrine of reincarnation. This raises the question of whether Amal believes or is at least open to reincarnation. A Druze reincarnation case has been posted on our website which gives an overview of the people and geography of Lebanon and Syria. To review this case, please go to:
Planning Lifetimes for the Renewal of Relationships: It has been reported that Clark Gable forced himself on Loretta Young, which resulted in her pregnancy. By reincarnating and becoming married in the personas of George and Amal Clooney, trauma from the relationship of Gable and Young can be healed.
Past Life Talent: The acting talent of Clark Gable shines forth in the career of George Clooney. Amal Clooney is an attorney, not an actress, but she is glamorous and is comfortable on the world stage, much as was Loretta Young.
Split Incarnation: As mentioned, the lifetimes of Loretta Young and Amal Clooney overlapped by 22 years, a phenomenon that I call split incarnation, which is also known by the older term parallel lives.
I have been of fan of Anthony Bourdain for many years. I enjoy the travel aspect of his shows, as well as his keen intellect, irreverent sense of humor and honesty. As I was watching one of his programs he referred to Joseph Conrad’s novel, Heart of Darkness. At that moment, I had the intuition that in a past life, Bourdain had something to do with Conrad.
At first I though that he may have been Joseph Conrad in a past lifetime, but when I read about Conrad, I realized his personality was opposite to that of Bourdain. When I read that Conrad had a good friend named Robert Bontine Cunninghame Graham, I noted that Graham was very much like Bourdain, in both personality and appearance. In a session with Kevin Ryerson, the spirit being Ahtun Re affirmed that Anthony Bourdain is the reincarnation of Robert Bontine Cunninghame Graham. Place your cursor on images to enlarge them.
The Life of Robert Bontine Cunninghame Graham & Correspondences with Anthony Bourdain
Graham was born in London, England. After finishing his education in Europe, Graham, like Bourdain, became an adventurer and explorer. He traveled to Argentina, where he made a great deal of money in the cattle ranching business. Bourdain, by the way, was an unabashed carnivore. Graham also traveled to Morocco, Spain, Mexico and Texas.
Graham was a liberal and a socialist who was elected to the British Parliament. Anthony’s political and societal views were also very liberal. In a most intriguing correspondence, Graham was fond of cursing and he was the first Member of Parliament to be suspended from the House of Commons for swearing (he used the word “damn”). Bourdain is known for swearing on his show, though his curse words are censored on his television programs.
Graham was also a prolific author. Bourdain is the writer of his show and he is a published author. Graham was a friend of Joseph Conrad and in fact, it was Graham who helped Joseph Conrad get his career started by introducing Conrad to Graham’s publisher, Edward Garnett.
Ottavia Busia Bourdain as the Reincarnation Graham’s wife, Gabrielle
In Mexico City, Graham taught fencing. Similarly, Boudain competed in the martial art Brazilian jiu jitsu. His ex-wife, Ottavia, is also a competitive practitioner of jiu-jitsu. Of interest, Ahtun Re has affirmed that Ottavia is the reincarnation of Graham’s wife, Gabrielle Chideock de la Balmondiere. A physical resemblance exists between Gabrielle and Ottavia.
Reincarnation and Suicide
The world was stunned when it was learned that Anthony Bourdain committed suicide on June 8th, 2018, much as the world was dismayed by the suicide of Robin Williams. On one of his recent shows, Bourdain admitted that though he seemed to have it all, he did not feel that “life is good.” Bourdain also admitted that he became suicidal after separating from his first wife, Nancy Putkoski. He also had a history of extensive drug use.
These are signs of biochemical depression, which can make people feel so bad emotionally that the desire to end one’s life can arise. Medications and psychotherapy can reverse such feelings and every effort should be made to seek out treatment. In the United States, help can be accessed through the:
National Suicide Prevention Lifeline Phone Number: 1 800 273-8255
An essay on ending one’s own life and reincarnation is provided with a suicide case researched by Ian Stevenson, MD of the University of Virginia, involving a man named Ruprecht Schultz. A link to this case, as well as a link to a reincarnation case involving Robin Williams, are provided below:
Physical Resemblance in Reincarnation Cases: There is a physical resemblance between Robert Bontine Cunninghame Graham and Anthony Bourdain. There is also a similarity in appearance between Gabrielle Graham and Ottavia Bourdain.
Past Life Talent & Behavior: Like Anthony Bourdain, Graham was a world traveler and adventurer, a liberal and a published author who was known to use curse words.
Relationships Renewed through Reincarnation: Robert Bontine Cunninghame Graham was married to a woman named Gabrielle, who has been identified in contemporary times as Anthony Bourdain’s ex-wife, Ottavia.
Change of Nationality: Graham was born in England, whereas Anthony Bourdain was born in New York City.
Ellen DeGeneres has always struck me as being a very open-minded person, which made me think that she may be open to reincarnation research. As such, in a session with Kevin Ryerson, who channels a spirit being named Ahtun Re, who has demonstrated the ability to make past life matches with a high degree of accuracy, I asked Ahtun Re for an identifiable past lifetime for her.
Ahtun Re related that Ellen was a silent movie actress who was associated with the comedy actor and producer Fatty Arbuckle.
I passed this information to a collaborator, Ishtar Ishaya, who volunteered to research this case. Shortly afterwards, Ishtar suggested that Ellen may have been Virginia Vance. Sure enough, Virginia Vance was an actress in the Fatty Arbuckle production of My Stars.
In a subsequent session with Kevin, Ahtun Re affirmed that Ellen DeGeneres is the reincarnation of Vance.
Past Lives for Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore and The Ellen DeGeneres Wildlife Fund
Of interest, on the day that I am writing this article, it has been reported that actor Ashton Kutcher and his business partner donated 4 million dollars to The Ellen DeGeneres Wildlife Fund.
A few years ago, I did a presentation on evidence of reincarnation for Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, when they were still together, at their home in Beverly Hills. Through my work with Kevin Ryerson, I tried to derive past lives for Ashton and Demi. Ahtun Re told me that they were actors and a couple in the New York City theater scene at the turn of the century (1900). Unfortunately, I was not able to find these past life identities. If anyone has knowledge of this theater era, your help would be appreciated. I can be contacted at: walter@reincarnationresearch.com
A Past Life for Oprah Winfrey
Oprah Winfrey is a neighbor of Ellen DeGeneres in the community of Montecito, near Santa Barbara, California. A past life for Oprah is included in my book, Born Again, in which Oprah is identified as the reincarnation of James Wilson, a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
Wilson also taught English literature at the College of Philadelphia, which is consistent with Oprah’s love of books and her famous book club. Wilson also became one of the wealthiest individuals in the new nation of the United States, much like Oprah has created great wealth. Wilson eventually became a lawyer, taught law at the College of Philadelphia and was appointed to the Supreme Court of the United States by George Washington.
A Past Lifetime for Gayle King
Oprah has had a very close relationship with Gayle King since 1976. Gayle had a career as a reporter and television news anchor before she became an editor for O, The Oprah Magazine in 1999. Gayle currently is a co-anchor of CBS This Morning, which I watch every day. I am fond of Gayle’s bubbly and insightful personality.
In my analysis, Oprah and Gayle have become the closest of friends because they were husband and wife during the American Revolution. Through my work with Kevin Ryerson, Gayle has been identified as the second wife of James Wilson, whose maiden name was Hannah Gray. Like Gayle King, Hannah functioned as a reporter in writing a book, A More Obedient Wife: A Novel of the Early Supreme Court.
If Gayle read this book by Hannah, it would be interesting to see if she perceives any continuity of thought or writing style. In the reincarnation case of John B. Gordon | Jeffrey Keene, an analysis of letters written by Gordon and Keene performed by a linguistics professor at the University of California, Berkeley showed a common writing style. To learn more, please go to:
Physical Resemblance in Reincarnation Cases: There are similarities in facial architecture in the reincarnation cases involving Ellen DeGeneres, Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King. Click on the images to enlarge them to better study facial features.
Past Life Talent: Virginia Vance was a comedic actress and Ellen DeGeneres has had her own television situation-comedy series entitled Ellen. The parallels between James Wilson | Oprah Winfrey and Hannah Gray | Gayle King were described above.
Change of Race: James Wilson and Hannah Gray Wilson were Caucasian, while Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King are African-American. Reincarnation research, including cases published by Ian Stevenson, MD of the University of Virginia, show that souls can change religion, nationality, ethnicity and race from one lifetime to another. This observation and understanding can help make the world a more peaceful place, as most wars and conflicts are based on differences in these cultural markers of identity.
Over the years I’ve enjoyed the varied performances of Jeff Daniels, from his portrayal of Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain in the movie Gettysburg, his roles in the movies Dumb and Dumber andEscanaba in Da Moonlight, as wellas in the television series, The Newsroom. Between his performances and interviews I was often given the sense that “in another life, he’d make a fine politician.” This sense of Daniels the politician was certainly underlined by his performance in The Newsroom, especially in the opening segment of this show, which has had over 8 million views on YouTube: The Newsroom: Opening Scene
While going through some books and websites on the politics of the Gilded Age, I came across a photo of a younger William Jennings Bryan and immediately recognized the soul of Jeff Daniels. With these two seemingly different lifetimes, the soul is expressing different facets of an archetype common to both politicians and actors.
While not particularly successful at getting elected to high office, Bryan was a renowned, energetic, show-stopping orator who sought to improve the lives of farmers and laborers against the increasing power of the railroads and the large business trusts of the day, while championing bimetallism. He later took up the anti-imperialist cause, resigning as US Secretary of State in protest, supported prohibition and famously opposed Darwinism in the Scopes Trial. In 1896, as the youngest candidate for President in US history, Bryan crisscrossed the country giving 500 stump speeches in an era when Presidential candidates typically stayed home. Whatever cause he championed, he did so with the energy and flair of a gifted performer.
Physical Resemblance in Reincarnation Cases: Jeff Daniels and William Jennings Bryan bear a remarkable resemblance to each other. While similar appearance is often coincidental or superficial, there are many strong cases in which it comes into play. There are a variety of explanations for this, many of which describe some kind of etheric body imprinting mechanism. My own psychic process, and those of many other intuitives, frequently involves the perception of subtle underlying geometries and patterns that give rise to the physical form, that often operate throughout multiple incarnations.
Past Life Talent: Possessing the instinctual knack of shining and thriving in the spotlight is a valuable skill for an actor, politician or anyone who leads a very visible life on the world stage. Perhaps for better or worse, there is much overlap in the requisite tools for these professions!
Note from Walter Semkiw, MD: We have additional reincarnation cases in which actors and television personalities have embarked on political careers. These include:
Supporters of ReincarnationResearch.com informed me of a man in Afghanistan who bears a striking resemblance to the late martial arts star Bruce Lee. This man, Abbas Alizada, became enamored with Bruce Lee movies when he was 15 years old and went on to master the martial arts Bruce Lee popularized. Abbas has gained recognition and popularity in Afghanistan and has became known as the “Bruce Lee of Afghanistan.”
Just because a person resembles a person from the past does not mean that the look alikes represent a reincarnation case. Still, reincarnation research does reveal that facial features often remain similar from one lifetime to another.
I have worked with trance medium Kevin Ryerson on a monthly basis since 2001 and I found that a spirit being he channels named Ahtun Re has the ability to make past life matches with a high degree of accuracy.
In a session with Kevin, Ahtun Re did affirm that Abbas Alizada is the reincarnation of Bruce Lee. A video on Abbas Alizada is provided at the bottom of this page.
Nesrin Meral, one of the individuals who proposed this past life match, has written an article on this reincarnation case. Her article can be accessed through the link provided below:
Physical Resemblance: There is a striking resemblance between Bruce Lee and Abbas Alizada. The image comparison provided is from dawn.com. Click on the image to enlarge it.
Past Life Talent: Abbas Alizada has replicated the martial arts abilities demonstrated by Bruce Lee.
Change of Nationality and Religion: Bruce Lee was born in San Francisco. His parents were of Chinese heritage from Hong Kong and Bruce was subsequently raised in Hong Kong. Bruce was philosophical in nature and was influenced by the spiritual religious doctrines of Buddhism and Taoism.
In contrast, Abbas Alizada was born in Afghanistan and through I do not know his religious views, it is likely that the was born into a Muslim family.
Knowledge that a soul can change nationality and religion from one lifetime to another can help create a more peaceful world, as most wars are based on differences in these cultural markers of identity.
Affinity Case: Abbas Alizada was attracted to his past life persona. I call these types of cases “Affinity Cases.” Other Affinity Cases include:
Proposed by: ReincarnationResearch.com supporter
A past life for Ellen as the actress Virginia Vance was later confirmed in a session with Kevin Ryerson | Ahtun Re. To view this case, as well as past lives for Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King, please go to:
Past Life Talent: Fatty Arbuckle was one of the most successful comedians of the silent movie era. Similarly, Louis Anderson has been a very successful comedian in contemporary times.
