Dan Abrams and John Adams Under Fire

Dan Abrams is a lawyer and media entrepreneur. Abrams received a degree in political science prior to law school. Early in his career, he worked as a reporter for Court TV where he covered the OJ Simpson case and the trials of Dr. Jack Kevorkian, who helped terminally ill people commit suicide.

In recent years, he has achieved high visibility due to being the Chief Legal Affairs Anchor for ABC News. Dan is also an author and has written books on three US Presidents, including Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.

His most recent book is John Adams Under Fire: The Founding Father’s Fight for Justice in the Boston Massacre Murder Trial. Though Adams was a fierce advocate for American independence, he also believed that the British soldiers who fired muskets upon a threatening mob should receive a fair trial. When no one else would represent them, Adams volunteered.

John Adams later wrote of the Boston Massacre: “On that night the formation of American independence was born.”

Dan Abrams wrote of Adams and his defence of the British soldiers:

“He volunteered to represent them, keeping the peace in a powder keg of a colony, and in the process created some of the foundations of what would become United States law.”

John Adams, Ian Stevenson, MD, Reincarnation and Tolerance

I have an interest in the American Revolution because I had an incarnation in Boston during that era. My first book, Return of the Revolutionaries: The Case for Reincarnation and Soul Groups Reunited (2003), is about a cohort from that time that has reemerged today, a cohort that includes me. In that book, I am identified as John Adams reborn.

Ian Stevenson, MD of the University of Virginia compiled over 1500 validated childhood past life memory cases that in aggregate provide proof of reincarnation. This evidence shows that we can change religion, nationality and ethnic affiliation from one lifetime to another.

Most wars are based on differences in these cultural markers of identity, so understanding that these markers are only temporary can help create greater peace. An important case in this regard, as well as others, are provided below:

Reincarnation Cases with Change in Religion, Nationality and Ethnic Affiliation

Spiritual Democracy

Reincarnation research shows that people usually do the same type of thing and follow similar career paths from one lifetime to another. Adams and his colleagues sought to create greater equality though the creation of a democratic country, the United States, which led to another revolution in France. In this way old monarchies were cast off in the name of self-rule.

Evidence of reincarnation will free us from the control of old, established religions, the monarchies of spirituality, and reveals that we truly are equal regardless of what religion, nationality or ethnic group we belong to.

Reincarnation research also allays fear of death and affirms that our souls are eternal. As I like to say:

“With compelling evidence of reincarnation, who needs faith?”

Dan Abrams as the Reincarnation of Isaiah Thomas, Publisher of the “Massachusetts Spy”

I had a hunch that Dan Abrams also was part of the American Revolution and I reasoned that he was likely a newspaper publisher, as Abrams is a reporter and media entrepreneur.

Since 2001, on roughly a monthly basis, I have been working with trance medium 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. In a session with Kevin over the telephone, I asked Ahtun Re whether Dan Abrams was incarnate during the American Revolution and if so, was he a newspaper publisher?

As is usual, Ahtun Re said, “One moment,” during which he psychically tunes into the subject of interest and waits for information to come to him. He can access a record of events that is engrained in the spirit realm, which some call the Akashic Record.

Ahtun Re returned and related that Dan was a newspaper publisher in Boston during the Revolution and that his periodical was supportive of the Patriot cause of Independence.

After doing some research into Boston newspapers and their founders, it appeared that Isaiah Thomas was the best candidate. In a subsequent session with Kevin, Ahtun Re affirmed that Dan Abrams is the reincarnation of Thomas.

Isaiah Thomas was born in 1749 in Boston, Massachusetts and as a teen he was apprenticed to a printer. As an adult, Thomas worked as a printer in New Hampshire and South Carolina.

He returned to Boston and in 1770 he formed a partnership to create a new newspaper, which was given the saucy name, the Massachusetts Spy. The Spy did indeed support the Patriots to the extent that the British colonial government took Isaiah Thomas to court, though in the end a grand jury failed to make an indictment. Due to this experience, Thomas moved his printing presses outside of Boston to nearby Worcester, Massachusetts, where he settled.

Isaiah Thomas and the Boston Massacre: Reporting Across Two Lifetimes

The Boston Massacre occurred on March 5, 1770, with the trial taking place later that year. As such, Thomas must have covered that trial for his paper, which means that Isaiah Thomas and John Adams knew one another.

Consider that Isaiah Thomas reported on the Boston Massacre trial, then reincarnated as Dan Abrams, who wrote the book John Adams Under Fire, which is about the very same trial!

The Massachusetts Spy also reported on the first battles of the American Revolution that took place in the Massachusetts towns of Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775. Isaiah himself participated as a soldier in the Battle of Concord.

Following the decision by the Continental Congress to separate from Britain on July 4, 1776, Isaiah Thomas had the honor of performing the first public reading of the Declaration of Independence to the citizens of Worcester.

Authors in Two Lifetimes

Like Dan Abrams, Isaiah Thomas was an author of books and he wrote the History of Printing in America, with a Biography of Printers, and an Account of Newspapers, published in two volumes in 1810.

In 1812, Thomas founded the American Society of Antiquaries, now known as the American Antiquarian Society, and donated his collection of 8000 books to its library. Thomas died in 1831.

Evidence and Principles of Reincarnation-Understanding Past Lives

Physical Resemblance in Reincarnation Cases: There is a similarity in the facial features and demeanor of Thomas and Abrams.

Past Life Passions, Talent and Abilities: Isaiah Thomas was a reporter and newspaper publisher for the American Revolution, while Dan Abrams is a reporter on legal matters and founder of a media empire.

 

 

Martin Luther King as the Reincarnation of Cinque, the Leader of the Amistad Africans, with Past Lives of Coretta King, Jesse Jackson, Andrew Young and other Civil Rights Leaders

Cinque as the Reincarnation of Martin Luther King

In my first book, Return of the Revolutionaries, I wrote about African natives who were kidnapped and then transported to the Americas to be sold as slaves.

Cinque, a leader of the captured Africans, was able to take over the slave ship, Amistad. They sailed to the United States, where they were arrested.

In their trial, where the Africans were considered “Property,” former President John Quincy Adams, the son of US Founder John Adams, defended the Amistad Africans. Adams and the Africans were victorious, and the Amistad Africans were freed.

Cinque was a Gifted Orator, Much Like Martin Luther King

As Martin Luther King, Cinque was a gifted speaker and through the use of a translator, Cinque was able to raise enough money through speeches to finance the return of his people to Africa.

To understand the story of these souls, please view the Stephen Spielberg’s film: Amistad

The Amistad Africans Reincarnate as a Group to Enact Civil Rights Reform in the United States

Reincarnartion research conducted at the University of Virginia has demonstrated that people reincarnate in soul groups, to be reunited with those they have loved in the past and to work on projects and plans made before birth. A most powerful study in this ragards is:

Reincarnation Case of Carrie Chapman Catt | Kamala Harris: Female Political Protagonists in Two Lifetimes

Revealed by: Spirit Being Ahtun Re in a Ryerson-Semkiw Reincarnation Research Session

Article by: Walter Semkiw, MD

When Kamala Harris entered the national stage by becoming the first woman, as well as the first person of color, to become Vice President of the United States, it was natural to wonder who she may have been in a past lifetime.

I have worked with trance medium Kevin Ryerson since 2001. I found that Kevin channels a spirit guide named Ahtun Re who has demonstrated the ability to make past life matches with a high degree of accuracy.

In a session with Kevin, I asked Ahtun Re who Kamala may have been in a past lifetime. After a period of contemplation, Ahtun told me that Kamala Harris was a nineteenth century American suffragette who was committed to establishing the right of women to vote. He told me that the her name was along the lines of “Carrie.”

After doing a little bit of research on the Internet, I found a likely candidate. Carrie Chapman Catt was born in 1859 and died in 1947. She was a suffragette leader who fought for the 19th Amendment, which gave women in the United States the right to vote in 1920.

The observation that people can change race and ethnicity from one lifetime to another can help create a more peaceful world, as most wars and conflicts are based on differences in these cultural markers of identity.

Reincarnation Case of Theodosius I | Joseph Biden: Christian World Leaders in Two Lifetimes

Joe Biden as the Reincarnation of Christian Roman Emperor Theodosius I

After Joe Biden won the 2020 election, I was ready to ask about a past life for him. I did not want to explore Joe Biden’s past lives before the election because I did not want to interfere with the election process.

I have worked with trance medium Kevin Ryerson since 2001 and have found that 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 I asked Ahtun Re who Joe Biden might have been in a past lifetime, he immediately told me that Biden is the reincarnation of Roman Christian Emperor Theodosius I, who, of course, I had never heard of.

Past Life Talent: The Abilities and Passions of Joe Biden are Reflected in the Life of Theodosius I

The life of Theodosius I is well documented. In reading his biography, two features in common with Joe Biden were obvious.

First of all, Theodosius I was a fierce advocate and promoter of the Catholic Church. Joe Biden has been proud of being a devout Catholic.

Secondly, Theodosius I was a warrior emperor. Joe Biden, in his long career as a US Senator, has been a “hawk,” in that he has been ready to use military force if the need arose.

Joe Biden’s Past Life as Theodosius I

If politics seems rough in contemporary times, the life of Theodosius I was much more violent. Though Joe Biden is soft spoken and conciliatory, in his life as Theodosius, he could be brutal.

Theodosius I lived around 350 AD, which was a violent era.

I think the difference is that we do mature across our incarnations on Earth.

Past Lives of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin

Past lives of many contemporary politicians have been identified who were also well known governmental figures in past lives. These include:

Donald Trump as the Reincarnation of Roman Emperor Nero

Vladimir Putin as the Reincarnation of Julius Caesar

Why Do Famous People Reincarnate as Famous People?

It is natural to ask why the same people rise to major governmental roles across successive lifetimes.

As explained in my book, Origin of the Soul and the Purpose of Reincarnation, when we were created as souls, we were endowed by God with specific attributes.

As such, artists reincarnate as artists, musicians come back as musicians and politicians reincarnate as politicians and world leaders.

As politicians incarnate over many lifetimes, they hone their skills so that in subsequent incarnations, they become more successful.

Reincarnation: We Can Be Famous in One Lifetime and Unknown in Another

Though we may have the same talents and abilities across lifetimes, we may be famous in some lifetimes but unknown in others.

For example, a past life for President Donald Trump has been identified in which he was a French governmental official in Eastern Canada when France was colonizing this part of North America, around the era of the American Revolutionary War.

This is why Canada is bilingual, in which French is spoken in the eastern province of Quebec, while the rest of Canada speaks English, as England colonized western parts of Canada.

In sum, one can have the same talents, interests and passions from one lifetime to another, but can be famous in one lifetime and relatively unknown in another.

Micheaux: The Son of a Slave Becomes a Motion Picture Producer

Oscar Micheaux was born in 1887 in Illinois, the son of a slave who was likely  owned by French immigrants. He is considered the first major African American filmmaker. Micheaux made silent movies and then transitioned to sound films, directing and producing 44 movies in all.

The focus of his work was racial issues between blacks and whites, covering the topics of racial injustice, lynching, mob violence and economic inequality.

Of interest, Micheaux, early in life moved to South Dakota, where he bought land and worked as a farmer. He wrote a novel, The Homesteader, which was in part based on his experiences in South Dakota. Homesteaders were people who were given free plots of land in the American West in an effort to develop the region.

Micheaux died in 1951.

Oscar Micheaux Reincarnates as Spike Lee, Who Propagates Movie Making to make a Difference

Spike Lee was born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1957. Like Micheaux, Lee’s movies center around race relations, including the issues of poverty, urban crime and the politics of race.

In a very interesting parallel, Spike Lee named his production company 40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks, which appears to be an unconscious reference to his own past life as Micheaux, who bought land in South Dakota and became a farmer prior to embarking on his career as a filmmaker.

Reincarnation Case of Harriet Tubman | Angela Davis: A Militant Operative for African American Causes in Two Lifetimes

Proposed by: Walter Semkiw, MD

The Life of Harriet Tubman

Harriet Tubman was born in Maryland, into slavery, in March 1822. She escaped from her owner, whose staff whipped and beat Tubman, and became an abolitionist most famous for organizing 13 missions to rescue 70 others bound by slavery. She was ready to use force, if needed, and she carried a revolver.

Her network of abolitionists and safe houses, where escaping slaves were sheltered, was called the Underground Railroad.

Harriet Tubman and John Brown

Tubman initially escaped to Philadelphia where slavery was illegal. She then returned to Maryland to bring her relatives, one group at a time, to Philadelphia and freedom. She would carry out her missions at night and maintained extreme secrecy to avoid being caught.

In 1858, Tubman met John Brown, who she helped plan and execute his raid on the US military arsenal located in the town of Harpers Ferry, Virginia. Brown, who was white and passionately against slavery, planned to use the arms taken from the arsenal to create a community of freed slaves in the mountains of Virginia and Maryland.

Brown was captured during the raid, which took place 1859, and he was hung later that year. The raid on the Harpers Ferry increased the fears of Southern slave owners that slave rebellions would take place, and the raid increased tensions between Northern and Southern states before the American Civil War, which did commence in 1861.

Once the Civil War began, Harriet Tubman was employed by the Northern Union Army as a cook, then nurse, army scout and spy.

Harriet Tubman leads the Combahee River Union Army Assaults

In 1863, Tubman became the first woman to lead an armed assault by Union troops of the Northern states during the Civil War. This raid in South Carolina led to the liberation of over 750 slaves. An article on Wikipedia describes the scene along the Combahee River.

“Once ashore, the Union troops set fire to the plantations, destroying infrastructure and seizing thousands of dollars worth of food and supplies. When the steamboats sounded their whistles, slaves throughout the area understood that it was being liberated.

Tubman watched as slaves stampeded toward the boats. ‘I never saw such a sight,’ she said later, describing a scene of chaos with women carrying still-steaming pots of rice, pigs squealing in bags slung over shoulders, and babies hanging around their parents’ necks. Although their owners, armed with handguns and whips, tried to stop the mass escape, their efforts were nearly useless in the tumult. As Confederate troops raced to the scene, steamboats packed full of slaves took off toward Beaufort.”

Tubman died on March 10, 1913. In 2019, a movie was made about her entitled Harriet.

Angela Davis as the Reincarnation of Harriet Tubman

Harriet Tubman has reincarnated as Angela Davis, an African American woman born on January 26, 1944, 31 years after Tubman died.

Davis shares many of the characteristics of Harriet Tubman. For example, like Tubman, Davis has been open to using force for societal causes. In 1970, she purchased firearms that were used in the armed takeover of a courtroom in Marin County, California, which is located just north of San Francisco.

The takeover was executed by Jonathan Jackson, an African American, whose intent was to kidnap Superior Court Judge Harold Haley, who would be used as a bargaining chip to force the release of his brother and others from prison. It was a time when racial tensions were high in the California prison system.

A shootout between Jackson and police occurred which left Jackson, Judge Haley and two others dead.

As a result of her involvement, Angela Davis was prosecuted for conspiracy to commit murder and she spent over a year in jail, before she was acquitted of charges in 1972.

Past Life Behavior: Angela Davis is a Militant Crusader for Liberal Causes, as was Harriet Tubman

Afterwards she was released from prison, Davis was an advocate of progressive causes and even became a Communist. She also supported the militant African American Black Panther Party, that itself was involved in gun battles with police in protest of police brutality against Blacks, primarily in Oakland, California.

The Black Panthers were likely was made up of Harriet Tubman’s compatriots from the Underground Railroad.

Angela Davis has also pursed a career in academics, including at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).

Greta Thunberg: Child Prodigy Environmental Activist

Greta Thunberg was born in 2003 in Sweden and she has become a celebrity teen international advocate for the cause of combating climate change.

Given her passion for environmental causes at such a young age, it is natural to wonder who she may have been in past lifetime.

In a session with Kevin Ryerson, a trance medium who I have worked with since 2001, I asked who Greta was in the past. Kevin channels a spirit being named Ahtun Re who has demonstrated the ability to make past life matches with a high degree of accuracy.

Ahtun Re told me, without any hesitation, that Greta in a past lifetime was Rachel Carson, the author of Silent Spring.

Greta Thunberg as the Reincarnation of Rachel Carson

Rachel Carson was a biologist whose book Silent Spring, published in 1962, documented the adverse effects of chemicals released to the environment. In particular, she described how spraying the pesticide DDT to control mosquitoes resulted in birds ingesting DDT. These birds then laid thin-shelled eggs that would break before chicks were mature enough to survive.

As the chicks had died, the season after winter was silent, as there were no birds to sing to announce spring. Silent Spring is credited with starting the environmental movement of today,

Rachel Carson was born in 1907 and died in 1964, about 40 years before Greta Thunberg was born.

Physical Resemblance in Reincarnation Cases: There is a similarity in the facial features of Rachel Carson and Greta Thunberg. It will be interesting to observe how Greta’s appearance evolves over time.

Past Lives of Marianne Williamson & John Hagelin in the American Revolution

In my reincarnation research, before I met Kevin Ryerson, I had hypothesized that the best selling author, Marianne Williamson, and physicist John Hagelin, were part of the Revolutionary group in Boston. Hagelin had run for US President in 2000 under the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s Natural Law Party. Ahtun Re later confirmed these matches, which were part of the 60 pairings that I had reviewed with him during our first few sessions. They were Boston revolutionaries that were close to John Adams. These two cases are described in detail in Return of the Revolutionaries.

Past Life Writing Style of Marianne Williamson

I had hypothesized the match between Abigail Adams and Marianne Williamson based on similarities in writing style, before I ever saw an image of Marianne. In my reading of American history during the Revolution, I became very familiar with the letters written between John and Abigail. When a friend suggested that I read a book written by Marianne, I was surprised to find she has the same linguistic style, the same writing voice, as Abigail Adams. A linguistic analysis performed in the reincarnation case of John B. Gordon | Jeff Keene shows that writing style can remain the same from one lifetime to another.

I later learned that Marianne’s personal hero is none other than Abigail Adams. Synchronistic events led us to meet for the first time on Valentine’s Day, in 2001, before I had my first session with Kevin. At that time, Marianne agreed to be included in Return of the Revolutionaries as the reincarnation of Abigail. After I stated work with Kevin Ryerson in October 2001, Marianne Williamson was affirmed by Ahtun Re to be the reincarnation of Abigail Adams, the wife of John Adams.

John Hagelin, of Maharishi University & TM Movement, as Reincarnation of James Otis

I also had hypothesized that John Hagelin was the reincarnation of James Otis, Jr, a Boston lawyer who was considered to be a genius, who helped spark the revolutionary movement by taking the British to court regarding the Writs of Assistance, an illegal search and seizure law. Hagelin also agreed to be in my Revolutionaries book as Otis before I met Kevin, although Ahtun Re also affirmed the match after I started work with Ryerson.

John Hagelin | James Otis Reincarnation-Past Life Case

5iisisjamesotisjohnhagelinreincarnationNeale Donald Walsch, author of the best selling spiritual series, Conversations with God, has been close to both Williamson and Hagelin. Walsh and Williamson both supported Hagelin’s presidential bid in 2000 and Williamson and Walsch together founded the Global Renaissance Alliance. As such, I wondered if Neale was in Boston during the American Revolution also, though I had no idea of who he could have been.

Spirit Guide or Spirit Being Ahtun Re Reveals a Past Life Identity for Neale Donald Walsch

In a session with Kevin Ryerson, Ahtun Re told me that Walsch was indeed a minister in Boston who was good friends with John and Abigail Adams, and that he was also an associate of John Hagelin in those times. I asked Ahtun Re what Neale’s name was in that era. Ahtun Re told me that Neale was known as Reverend Walter and that he was a Boston minister and Freemason, who also supported Anglican causes.

Reverend Walter was in no history book that I could find, but I was able to locate him through the New England Genealogical and Historical Society (NEGHS), which is located in Boston. A search of the diaries of John Adams done by the NEGHS revealed only one minister known to the Adamses by the name of Rev. Walter. That minister was William Walter, born on October 7, 1737. Walter received his license as a minister in England, by the Bishop of London. As such, Rev. Walter was an Anglican minister, as Ahtun Re had said. Rev. Walter then returned to Boston and was inducted into the ministry in July 1764, at Trinity Church. On April 4, 1768, Rev. Walter was chosen to be Rector of Trinity Church. A biography from Harvard College was available that confirmed that Rev. Walter was also a Freemason, as Ahtun Re had noted.

Spirit Guide Ahtun Re’s Past LIfe Information for Neale Donald Walsch is confirmed by Researcher at New England Genealogical & Historical Society

5iisiswalternealedonaldwalschreincarnation-An entry from John Adams’s diary regarding Reverend William Walter, made on May 24, 1773, is provided below. This entry mentions two other men, Colonel and Major Otis, who were father and son. The son, Major Otis, refers to James Otis, who in contemporary times has been identified as John Hagelin. Let us now turn to the notes of John Adams. The term “parson,” used by Adams, is the equivalent of “reverend.” I have placed the contemporary identities of the players involved in brackets, for clarity. John Adams wrote:

“Spent this Evening at Wheelwrights, with Parson Williams of Sandwich. . . . Williams took up the whole Evening with Stories about Coll. Otis and his Son the Major [John Hagelin]. The Major [John Hagelin] employed . . . Parson Walter [Neale Donald Walsch] to represent him to the Governor as a Friend to Government, in order to get the Commission of Lieutenant Colonel.

The Major [John Hagelin] has Liberty written over his Manufactory House. . . . Col Otis reads to large Circles of the common People, Allens Oration on the beauties of Liberty and recommends it as an excellent Production.” (1)

Note that Major James Otis | John Hagelin asked Parson Walter | Neale Donald Walsch for assistance in obtaining a higher military rank within the Royal British government. Keep in mind that this event took place prior to the American Revolution and that many patriot leaders served in leadership roles within the British system before independence was declared. Clergy and ministers were leaders of the community and as such, Reverend William Walter | Neale Donald Walsch was in a position to assist James Otis | John Hagelin in procuring greater influence within the government.

Past Life Relationships Renewed in Reincarnation Cases of Neale Donald Walsch & John Hagelin

5iisiswalternealedonaldwalschreincarnation-Note too that this situation is parallel to contemporary circumstances involving Hagelin and Walsch. As part of his 2000 presidential campaign, Hagelin tapped Walsch for fundraising help, just as Otis tapped Reverend Walter in his campaign to procure the rank of lieutenant colonel. So here we have established, if the proposed past-life identities are valid, a Revolutionary karmic connection between John Hagelin and Neale Donald Walsch.

Reverend Walter tried to maintain a neutral stance between the Loyalists and Revolutionaries within his congregation. As such, Reverend Walter remained in the good graces of Patriots and Loyalists alike until an unfortunate incident occurred. In February 1776, just as Paine’s Common Sense was making a splash, Reverend Walter was accused of trying to spread smallpox within the Patriot army. A vaccine for smallpox had recently been invented, but there was great controversy as to whether the vaccine did more harm than good. People who were inoculated could spread the disease to others for a period of time, so the vaccinated had to go into temporary quarantine.

The incident in question involves a small boy who accused Reverend Walter of forcing inoculation on him. The boy claimed that Reverend Walter then instructed him to go to a Patriot army base where the boy came down with the pox. This placed the Patriot army in danger of contracting the disease. Though it is difficult to imagine that this account was accurate, certain Bostonians apparently accepted the story and accused Rev. Walter of trying to spread smallpox within the Patriot armed forces. They branded him a Loyalist and traitor. As a result, Rev. Walter’s house was ransacked and he was forced to take refuge in England in 1776.

Replication of Past Life Behavior in Reincarnation Case of Neale Donald Walsch: Prison Ministries

In the spring of 1777, Walter returned to New York while the Revolutionary War was on, and was appointed as a chaplain to Britain’s Third Battalion. In this capacity, Reverend Walter tended to Patriot prisoners of war. A biographer wrote that Walter’s “kindness to the American prisoners was famous.” (2) This service to the Patriot prisoners is consistent with Ahtun Re’s statement that Walsch gave shelter or assistance to revolutionaries.

It is also interesting that Reverend Walter attended to a prison population, as Neale Donald Walsch has created a special program to provide books to contemporary prison inmates. As such, William Walter and Neale Donald Walsch both have a common history of serving prison populations.

Past Life Relationships: Neale Donald Walsch Visits Abigail Adams

5IISISAbigailAdams60MarianneWilliamsonReincarnationIn December of 1783, Reverend Walter returned to England and in July 1784 he called upon Abigail Adams to welcome her to London. Abigail had just arrived to join her husband John, who was serving as the American minister to England. This visit acknowledges a karmic connection between William Walter | Neale Donald Walsch and Abigail Adams | Marianne Williamson in the Revolutionary era. As noted previously, in contemporary times, Marianne Williamson has founded the Global Renaissance Alliance with Walsch cited as a co-founder.

Spirit Guide Ahtun Re’s Past Life Information Confirmed: Reverend Walter is an Anglican & Freemason

In July and August 1787, Reverend Walter was back in Boston and was invited to preach in the Anglican Church, which derived from the Church of England. Prior to his exile in England, Walter was known to support the establishment of an Anglican bishop in America, which caused consternation among independent-minded Americans. This association with Anglican churches and the calling for an Anglican bishop are consistent with Ahtun Re’s statement that Walsch, in his Revolutionary lifetime, supported Anglican causes.

It is also documented that Reverend Walter was a Freemason and spoke at Masonic events. An observer wrote: “Dr. Walter was an ardent Mason because he saw the function of that organization to be to further love of mankind.” (3) This statement is consistent with Ahtun Re’s other proclamation that Walsch, in the Revolutionary era, was a Freemason.

As the years went on after his return from England, the people of Boston reaccepted Reverend Walter and eventually, he was made Rector of Christ Church in Boston. Reverend Walter also frequently preached at Christ Church in Cambridge. He died on December 5, 1800 and was buried with Masonic honors in a family tomb under Christ Church. A memorial window was erected in Trinity Church in honor of William Walter. Reverend Walter was survived by seven children.

Consistent Past Life Personality Traits in Neale Donald Walsch Reincarnation Case

5iisisjamesotisjohnhagelinreincarnationIn addition to historical details that match Ahtun Re’s description of Walsch in the Revolutionary era and the existence of karmic ties to Abigail Adams | Marianne Williamson and James Otis | John Hagelin, common personality and character traits can be noted between Reverend Walter and Neale Donald Walsch.

For example, I have been told that Walsch is congenial in public and that he likes to dress well. Walsch himself has publicly joked about his vanity. At fundraising events held for John Hagelin, Walsch has told the story that when he was growing up one of his greatest concerns was his “hair” and how it was styled. This is consistent with how the ladies of Boston remembered Reverend Walter. One of these ladies remarked:

“Dr. Walter was a remarkably handsome man, tall and well proportioned. When in the street, he wore a long blue cloth cloak over his cassock and gown; a full-bottomed wig, dressed and powdered; a three-cornered hat; knee breeches of fine black cloth, with black silk hose; and square quartered shoes, with silver buckles. (4)

Walsch, I understand, is also fond of fine footwear. Walsch is also a former actor and radio personality. These roles are consistent with statements made regarding Reverend Walter: “His whole attention is given to dress, balls, assemblies, and plays;” (5) “his voice was clear, musical and well modulated.” (6)

Past Life Personality Traits: Walter & Walsch are Metaphysicians

Another common feature between Reverend Walter and Walsch is that both have produced spiritual and metaphysical works that have enjoyed great popularity. Walsch, of course, has written the Conversations with God series, which has sold in the millions. Reverend Walter, in like fashion, produced sermons of great popularity that had a metaphysical quality. The following quotes regarding Reverend Walter illustrate these points. “The popularity of the young man’s preaching was amazing.” (8) Of a sermon made by Walter, a listener wrote, “metaphysical but well pickt and adapted to the present season.” (9)

Past Life Behavior: Walter & Walsch have a Common Interest in ET’s

5iisiswalternealedonaldwalschreincarnation-What is most striking is that Reverend Walter in the eighteenth gave sermons that involved references to extraterrestrial beings. This subject matter is consistent with material in Conversations with God, Book 3 where Walsch writes about “highly evolved beings,” who are extraterrestrials (ETs) from other planets. Walsh writes that these highly evolved beings are benevolent and more advanced than humans on the evolutionary scale. Let us now reflect on the words of Reverend William Walter, written in the eighteenth century, as he describes God creating the universe, with planets populated with life forms, and endowed with varying degrees of intelligence.

“He speaks, and behold! those Suns which appear so magnificent in the great Concave, instantly exist; Suns which the Eye of an Herschel or a Newton . . . is unable to number: He commands, and behold! those Suns are surrounded with Planets, and their concomitant Satellites, prepared with all the Accommodations for embodied Spirits. It is not improbable that the Inhabitants of those countless Worlds which roll incessantly around their central fires, forming Systems beyond Systems, are endued with different Degrees of Intellect, and different Modes of attaining that Happiness for which they were made.” (10)

So Reverend William Walter speaks of beings living on other planets, each with their own ways of attaining happiness. This is consistent with Walsch’s message about intelligent ETs evolving in their own manner.

Reincarnation Case of Joseph Warren MD | Deepak Chopra MD

 Reincarnation Case Study Joseph Warren and Deepak Chopra comparison imageThere is one additional member of this cohort who were leaders in Boston during the American Revolution. Joseph Warren was a medical doctor and soldier who died in the Battle of Bunker Hill. Dr Warren was a dear friend of John and Abigail Adams and Warren’s portrait still hangs in the Adam’s home, now a historical site. Ahtun Re revealed that Deepak Chopra is the reincarnation of Joseph Warren.

If this is true, then Boston friends from the American Revolution, Rev. William Walter | Neale Donald Walsch, Abigail Adams | Marianne Williamson and Joseph Warren | Deepak Chopra have reunited as leaders of contemporary spirituality, who have shared venues together. Walsch, Williamson and Chopra all supported the US Presidential bid of James Otis | John Hagelin, so they also have had a hand in contemporary politics and political reform.

Please note: The Deepak Chopra case was not published in Return of the Revolutionaries and as such, Neale Donald Walsch has not reviewed this particular case.)

Another Past Life for Neale Donald Walsch as Andrew Jackson Davis

As noted above, I made the hypothesis that Marianne Williamson is the reincarnation of Abigail Adams based on common linguistic writing style. A linguistic analysis in the John B. Gordon | Jeff Keene Reincarnation Case supports that linguistic writing style can remain consistent from one lifetime to another.

A second past life match for Neale Donald Walsch was made in a similar manner. I was researching a past lifetime for Mark Thurston, a leader of Edgar Cayce’s ARE. Ahtun Re told me that Mark served as a secretary to the famous 18th century medium, Andrew Jackson Davis. I thought the best way to pursue this case was to read books Davis had written to see if I would find clues regarding his secretary.

5 Andrew Jackson Davis Neale Donald WalschI ordered two of Davis’s books through the Internet. I started reading and after studying 5 pages, I had the same experience as I did when I was reading Marianne Williamson’s book. It was as if a hammer hit me over the head with the realization that I have encountered this writing style before. It took me a few few minutes before I realized where I have read this author before. It then dawned on me that Davis had the same linguistic writing style, the same linguistic voice, as is found in Conversations With God, the best selling trilogy written by Neale Donald Walsch.

There was no image of Andrew Jackson Davis in the books that I had purchased, but I soon found portraits and realized there is an uncanny resemblance between Davis and Walsch. In a subsequent session with Kevin Ryerson, Ahtun Re confirmed that Neale Donald Walsch is the reincarnation of Andrew Jackson Davis.

Replication of Past Life Talent in Andrew Jackson Davis | Neale Donald Walsch Reincarnation Case

If this case is accepted, then Neale Donald Walsch very directly replicated the talent of Andrew Jackson Davis in writing influential spiritual books using gifts of clairvoyance and channeling.

Conclusion & Neale Donald Walsch’s Support of Reincarnation Cases

In sum, the information that Ahtun Re provided regarding the past-life identity of Neale Donald Walsch appears to be fulfilled in the persona of Reverend William Walter. Given the difficulty involved in obtaining information on and the portrait of Reverend William Walter, this case impressed me as providing evidence that Ahtun Re can provide accurate past life information and matches.

Recall that this case was researched in 2001, long before search engines such as Google were available. I reasoned that if took so much work to locate Reverend Walter in history, there was no way that Kevin Ryerson, the human being, could know about Reverend Walter. I concluded that information was coming from a spiritual being, Ahtun Re, who had access to some universal fund of knowledge. This motivated me to continue working with Kevin Ryerson for years to come.

It is significant to note that Neale Donald Walsch supports his past life match as Reverend Walter, as well as the other reincarnation cases posted on this page. If these cases are accepted, they demonstrate the following principles of reincarnation.

Principles of Reincarnation & Understanding Past Lives

Physical Resemblance in Reincarnation Cases: William Walter and Neale Donald Walsch have corresponding facial architecture and the similarity in facial features between Neale Donald Walsch and Andrew Jackson Davis is uncanny. There are also strong physical resemblances between Abigail Adams & Marianne Williamson and James Otis & John Hagelin. A similarity in appearance between Joseph Warren and Deepak Chopra can be appreciated, though it is not as strong as in the other cases.

Past Life Talent: Reverend Walter and Neale Donald Walsch have both demonstrated traits of charismatic prophets. Walsch very closely replicated the abilities of Andrew Jackson Davis in writing Conversations with God.

Abigail Adams is one of the few female heroes of the American Revolution and she contributed to our understanding of the history of American Revolution through her prolific letter writing. Marianne Williamson has become one of the best selling authors of our time. Further correspondences are detailed in Return of the Revolutionaries.

James Otis was an American political revolutionary and John Hagelin ran for US President in 2000, supported by his past life friends, Neale Donald Walsch, Marianne Williamson and Deepak Chopra.

Relationships Renewed through Reincarnation: Soul group connections between American Revolutionary colleagues and friends from Boston have been renewed between William Walter | Neale Donald Walsch, James Otis | John Hagelin, Abigail Adams | Marianne Williamson and Joseph Warren | Deepak Chopra. Ahtun Re has also identified Nancy, Neale’s wife, as Lydia Lynde, Reverend Walter’s wife.

April Danielle Ryan as the Reincarnation of Ida Bell Wells-Barnett: African-American Journalists and Civil Rights Leaders in Two Lifetimes

Proposed by: ReincarnationResearch.com Supporter

Affirmed by: Spirit Guide Ahtun Re in a Ryerson-Semkiw Reincarnation Research Session

Article by: Walter Semkiw, MD

April Ryan as the Reincarnation of Ida Wells-Barnett

A supporter of ReincarnationResearch.com suggested that April Ryan, a CNN political analyst, who was named as the Journalist of the Year by the National Association of Black Journalists, may be the reincarnation of Ida Bell-Wells Barnett.

Ida Wells-Barnett was an African-American journalist and early leader of Civil Rights Movement in the United States. Ida, who was born as a slave in 1862, was freed by Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation during the American Civil War.

Ida helped start the Memphis Free Speech and Headlight newspaper and she exposed the horror of the lynching of Black Americans. She was also active in the Women’s Suffragette movement, which lead to the right for American women to vote.
