REINCARNATION WILL ALWAYS
INTEREST THEVhUmAN MIND
By Herbert Quick.
Do you fenieiiiber when ydu were
soine one else?
Herbert Burrows, an English So
cialist, claims recollection of two pre
vious existences. Once" he was a Ro
man gladiator ahff once a trench
revolutionist. He remembers it 'just
as plahj."
Anyone can do it, he says. All that
Is necessary is to concaatratV. Some
times It takes a' long tiirie months or
years, but concentrate your mind up
tm It and dig into your astral person
ality deeply enough,, and ybu can
emerge from the pool of the past with
ajpretty good string of fish in the way
of pre-existenceSi
Xhelleve that can be done. I believe
that by concentration of this sort,
with the will to believe, one can remember-afaythihg
he wills to remem
ber, whether it ever existed Or not
The subjective mind is always obed
ient to sUggestitin, and" the sugges
tions from one's own mind are most
powerful; I have no doubt that by
thesanie sort of concentratidn Mr,
Burrows could have remembefed his
existence as a pterodactyl, or ah orni
thorhyncus paradoxus.
The human mind always, and al
Ways will, bilsy itself with reincarna-;
tibn. I do not say that the story is
false but I do insist that Mn Burrows'
"memory' offers no proof.
Either we have no snirit wliich lives'
j after death, or we have a spirit which
passes' from body to body through
successive reincarnations, or we have
aspirltwhlch begins with our bodies
and constitutes ah addition to the
wbrld of spirits. If the theory of rein
carnation is true how is the growth
and diminution of population to be
accounted for? If there are a hUh-
dred millions more of people on earth;
than a hundred years agd, where
were those hundred million souls at
that time?
There have-been men who believed
that the nhmber df people on earth is
always the same. If this were true.
every death would haVe-a correspond-

to p'ass from a wbrn-odt tenemeht to
a new onej the pangs of death here
being accompanied by the pahgS of
birth there.
But the facts of population seem
to point to another cpnclhsion. It is
very interesting.
