Born Again: Reincarnation Cases Involving International Celebrities, India's Political Legends and Film Stars

Whether or not you accept the idea of reincarnation, this is a book well worth your time to read. The comparisons are interesting and believable. This book is filled with research and logic. Bravo to the author and all those who search for answers.

"Born Again" is a book that gives the reader an excellent and easy to understand introduction into reincarnation - its principles, different types of research, evidence and impacts on society and religion - before the author presents his own independently researched reincarnation cases. I very much like Dr Semkiw's statement at the beginning of his book, "I believe that knowledge of the mechanism of reincarnation will help humanity evolve from a tribal mentality, in which we identify with one particular religious, ethnic, racial or nationalistic group, to the stage of the Universal Human. As a Universal Human, one understands and respects many cultures, but does not align one's self with any one denomination" as it sets the stage for his approach and gives his core reason to proof and educate the public on the existence of reincarnation. The overview of reincarnation in relation to different religions is also very helpful as it emphasizes the importance of this topic on a global level. What I find really intriguing are the principles of reincarnation that Dr Semkiw is presenting and using to proof his researched cases: 1) Physical appearance (especially facial architecture); 2) Personality traits; 3) Writing style; 4) Karmic soul groups; 5) Past-life symbols, synchronistic events, and anniversary phenomena; 6) Attraction to specific geographic locations; 7) Memories. Dr Semkiw is using these 7 principles when analyzing and presenting his researched cases. Especially impressive to me are the photos and pictures of all the people researched and their previous incarnations - you start wondering if the same is true for you ..... !!!! "Born Again" is an enlightening book that gives the reader a lot of food for thought - about him/herself, society, the world, the meaning of life and death, the principles, impacts and mechanism of reincarnation, karma and dharma. I hope Dr Semkiw will continue his research into the realm of meta-science and share his discoveries and conclusions again with the world! Wilja C G Witcombe, Colombo / Sri Lanka

This will be just a short review to say that this truly is a brilliant book. It is written in an academic manner with plenty of supporting evidence and research. Nothing is made up or fictional, it is all supported by well research evidence and the book was written by an obviously very intelligencet and extradionary read author. Books like these can help change humanity and better it. It's simple if reincarnation is true, we will have to take responsibility in this lifetime in order to make a better world, not for our children or grandchildren, but ironically the most important people to us: ourselves. Global warming, pollution, crime...reincarnation will have impact on it all and much much more. Would you torture if you knew in the next lifetime you would be tortured? Would you hate, knowing next time you may be the one detested? It is a simple notion of heaven and hell, but introduced in a completely different and most importantly realistic fashion. If anything is worth a read in this lifetime, 'tis this book in and many others, same topic related books, whether personal or academic will simply depend on your level of interest.
