An excellent piece by Andreas Sommer on attempts to airbrush a key element out of William James's thinking.

Does it matter that some eminent scientists and intellectuals have firmly believed in ‘psychic’ phenomena? Or should we just accept vocally dismissive statements on these matters by scientifically …

At long last! The first book dedicated to reincarnation cases in Japan from the perspective of psychical research. Children who remember past lives, between-life memories, xenoglossy, the persistence of physical features, and other phenomena suggestive of reincarnation are all explored here in a series of extraordinary and moving case studies, from the 19th century to the present.

Ohkado Masayuki is a parapsychologist and linguistics professor in the Department of Language and Cultures at Chubu University in Japan. He has been a visiting professor at M.I.T, at the University of Amsterdam, and in the Division of Perceptual Studies, University of Virginia. He is an award-winning author of numerous articles and several books in Japanese on reincarnation and related subjects. This is his first book in English.

Includes a foreword by Jim B. Tucker of UVA Division of Perceptual Studies.

In this book, the linguist and parapsychologist Ohkado Masayuki examines numerous accounts of Japanese children claiming to remember past lives, from the 19th century to the present.

Uniquely, the author also explores cases of children who remember the state between lives, and sometimes even the deaths of their former personalities and the transition to a new life. Such accounts bear striking similarities to descriptions of near-death experiences. In still other cases, children recount memories before conception, and between conception and
birth, often without associated memories of past lives.

Ohkado argues that the accumulated evidence strongly suggests that human consciousness survives bodily death and continues to exist from one body to another. This book demonstrates that the little ones around you are conscious spiritual beings, who may have had profound extraordinary experiences.

The Katsugoro case, together with similar examples found all over the world, inspired the work of Dr. Ian Stevenson of the University of Virginia. With its thorough research and engaging
analysis, this book is an important new contribution to the body of data suggesting the reality of reincarnation phenomena.

Check out Michael Tymn's fascinating new blog post -- https://whitecrowbooks.com/michaeltymn/entry/an_interview_with_professor_william_james

"Recently published by White Crow Books, Mind Dust and White Crows, edited by Gregory Shushan and with an introduction by Andreas Sommer, provides many interesting lectures and writings by Professor James and an explanation as to his views and reservations about the survival hypothesis, especially in the chapter on 'Human Immortality.' I 'interviewed' Professor James on the 100th anniversary of his transition to the spirit world in 2010 for a magazine and a journal. The 'interview' was conducted by extracting James’s words from various references and putting questions to them."
