Hypnotism: A Technique For Investigating Rebirth

Psychic power takes a long time and a high degree of self purification. Hypnotism seems to provide a short-cut technique for releasing some of the dormant memories of former lives. Hypnotism is certainly an easier method to tap the memories that are latent in the subconscious mind. For a long time it has been known that under deep hypnosis, events in very early infancy outside the normal range of memory, could be recalled; this method was used increasingly for the treatment of personality disorders. As some subjects show an involuntary resistance to hypnosis, this technique is not universally applicable in order to tap the memories of previous lives. But where it is applicable, it has borne remarkable results to collaborate the doctrine of rebirth.

If a person can be put into a deep, hypnotic trance, his conscious mind recedes and the subconscious starts functioning. If the subconscious can be made to function, it is sharp and has the ability to recall memories that are not available to the normal conscious mind. In a state of deep hypnosis, the subject can regress to a particular point in childhood, infancy, or to a prenatal period where he has access to memories latent in the subconscious mind. In this sate, known as hyperamnesia, the subject becomes in effect the child or person he was, and he relives experiences that have long been buried in the subconscious mind.

There are numerous cases on record of persons who have remembered their previous lives while in a deep hypnotic state. Hypnotists working in widely separated countries with subjects of different cultures and traditions have come across what appears to be memories of previous lives. Some of these cases have been investigated, and found to be correct. The most famous of these cases is the Bridey Murphy Case in America.

Psychiatrists working with hypnosis (and other techniques) are still reluctant to accept completely the doctrine of rebirth. However, one psychiatrist, Dr. Alexander Cannon in his book The Power Within, offers this conclusion: "For years the theory of reincarnation was a nightmare to me; and I did my best to disprove it, and even argued with my trance subjects to the effect that they were talking nonsense; yet as the years went by, and one subject after another told me the same story in spite of different and varied conscious beliefs, in effect until now, well over a thousand cases have been investigated and I have now to admit there is such a thing as reincarnation."

Why Inequalities?

When considering this world and when thinking of the diverse destinies of the beings living in this world, it will appear to most thoughtful people as if everything in nature is unjust. Observing the inequalities and unfairness of life, the thoughtful person asks 'Why?' Why is one man rich and powerful while another is poor and distressed? Why is one man all his life well and healthy, while another from his very birth is sickly and inclined to many diseases? Why is one man endowed with attractive appearance and intelligence while another is repulsive and ugly? Why some people are blind, idiotic or deaf while others are not? Why is one child born amidst utter misery and wretched people, while another child is born in the midst of plenty and comfort? Why is one child raised as a criminal while another is born of noble-minded parents and enjoys all the advantages of the best mental and moral education? Why does one man, often without the slightest effort, succeed in all his enterprises, while another fails in all his plans? Why can one man live in luxury, while another man has to live in poverty and distress? Why is one man happy while another is sad? Why does one man enjoy long life while another is carried away to death in the prime of his life?

Why do such differences exist in nature? How are we to account for the inequality, injustice and discrimination among men? Do these glaring inequalities occur by chance or are they "planned by God"? Neither of these explanations is convincing. If God is merciful, then why did he create such adverse circumstances for man to live in? A merciful God must be capable of doing something to prevent these inequalities. Another explanation is to attribute the inequality to the unfairness of the capitalistic structure of society. But this explanation does not account for intellectural inequality, personality difference, etc.

Kamma And Rebirth

The theory of kamma is the theory of cause and effect, of action and reaction; it is a natural law, which has nothing to do with the idea of justice or reward or punishment. Every volitional action produces its effects or results. If a good action produces good effects and a bad action, bad effects, it is not justice, or reward, or punishment meted out by anybody or any power sitting in judgment on your action, but this is in virtue of its own nature, its own law.

The law of Kamma, unlike the laws of physics, chemistry, etc is intangible, immeasurable and unpredictable. since it is an imperceptible law, it cannot be demonstrated by scientific experiments.

According to the doctrine of kamma and rebirth, deeds - whether good or bad - have their retribution sometime, somewhere. According to the law of kamma, the circumstances and conditions that make up the destiny of a being come into existence with a previous cause and the presence of appropriate conditions. Just as, for example, from a rotten mango seed never will come a healthy mango tree with healthy and sweet fruits, just so the evil, volitional actions or kamma produced in former births, are the seed or root causes of evil destiny in a later birth.

The only reasonable and sound explanation for the inequality among men is found in the doctrine of kamma and rebirth. Kamma and rebirth offer the only rational, consistent explanation that can satisfy unbiased and impartial thinkers.

The doctrine that rebirth occurs conditioned by kamma was accepted by the Indian teachers of old who preceded the Buddha. It is incorporated in the Upanishad and Vedanta teachings, as in the Bhagavad Gita. The teaching is that rebirth is conditioned by the good and evil that one has acquired in this and in previous lives. As this process of rebirth and death is fraught with much suffering, emancipation from this cycle of births and deaths is the goal of all Indian systems of philosophy. The Buddha taught, :Owners and heirs of their actions are beings, the actions divide beings into high and low."
