Reincarnation, Maternal Impression, and Epigenesis

About the Book

The children’s memories usually last until they are of school age, about seven or eight, and their lives then are more connected with the here and now. On occasions, they last until or through adulthood. The theses of Mr. Brener’s two books, Our Quantum World and Reincarnation, and Something Survives, were that the explanation might lie in the theory of entanglement, one aspect of quantum physics. A brief explanation is included in Mr. Brener’s introduction to this book. It is sufficient to say here that his theses dealt with memories and emotions—purely mental attributes. But they did not encompass a very physical attribute that often accompanied the memories—namely birthmarks and birth defects—similar to and sometimes identical to such marks and defects on the person, termed by the investigators as the prior personality, whose life the subject remembered. Brener’s suggested explanation for this physical phenomenon in this instance is the science of epigenetics, something to be explained in the chapters of this volume.

About the Author

The author, Milton E. Brener, has written two previous books dealing with research by medical and other professionals. Their subjects were a large number of children worldwide who are born with memories, often quite detailed, of a life before they were born. The memories were usually voiced with the child’s earliest speech, often about two years of age. They spoke of other parents, other towns, buildings, and descriptions about which they could not have known through normal means. These professional investigators—beginning with Dr. Ian Stevenson, head of the medical school of the University of Virginia—maintained a very high standard of proof as necessary to corroborate the memories.
