Descartes Was Right! Souls Do Exist and Reincarnation Proves It

According to a noted brain analyst, if an immaterial mind is ever proven to exist, the new research for the next century will be to explain how it interacts with the physical brain. This book exposes the evidence that a soul with such a mind is part of every human being and that the new research can begin now. But the neuroscientists claim a soul with a mind does not exist and it is the physical brain, creating mental states, that controls human behavior entirely through physical causes. Their studies, therefore, are incomplete, misleading, and false. Since Rene Descartes philosophized (1641) that humans have souls (dualism), critics have argued that since physical evidence of a soul cannot be produced, the soul does not exist. But this criticism has been answered through medical research of reincarnation that proves the existence of the soul physically. The soul's spontaneous demand for recognition as a past personality is the actual evidence in a physical form because it controls the body and voice of its physical body to express this demand. The brain cannot contribute to this knowledge of a past life because it was not there to participate in it. This is the conclusive proof that a non-physical entity can be identified physically, refuting the scientific claim of impossibility. The demand for identification with a past personality is spontaneous, proof of free will, not a prearranged and planned laboratory test. More than 2500 cases have been verified scientifically case by case. This continuing disclosure, available since 1966, has been conveniently ignored by the scientific community because it conflicts with the ongoing research based on physical causality as the only initiator of human behavior. The arguments and analyses in the book that disprove the physical approach, with a definition of a dual functional system, challenge the scientific community to rethink dualism. A major flaw in the scientific approach is in the explanation of memory as a physical part of the brain. But verified reincarnation evidence proves that memories of the past life are retained by the soul after migration to the new body. If memory were physical, it would not appear in the reincarnated personality because it would still be buried with the previous deceased body. By exhibiting this ability to remember the past life while in a new body and to identify with that life, the soul spontaneously proves its existence in the act of separation of the two entities and the continuity of its eternal life. Although the memory of the experiences and learning is with the soul, the brain needs stored information to direct the automatic physical functions like digestion, heart rate, breathing, and accidental and epigenetic repairs, which do not require conscious direction by a mind. To solve this problem, I propose a unique concept that there are two memories; one in each entity, by which the scientific memory research is still valid for the physical application. The verified presence of a soul requires a change in the mindset of every human being. Science can only promise a lifetime ending with burial. But the soul has an eternal life beyond the grave. The required mindset change is to think of oneself in eternal terms affecting the meaning of life for everyone. Each individual is a PERSON occupying a physical BODY for the earthly visit. After death the person continues to exist in a spiritual domain with the possibility of returning to earth as a different personality - perhaps several times. Depending on one's current beliefs, this could be a traumatic revelation. The scientifically verified existence of a should and mind in the human makeup demands an acknowledgement by the scientific community that its denial of the soul is no longer valid. Published promises to do so, if evidence were found, are now put to the test. The major implication of such an admission is that the basic approach of physical causality in neuroscientific research must be abandoned in favor of a holistic approach of dynamic mind-brain interaction. The waste of resources and talent pursuing an erroneous approach should cease. A preliminary system definition for a redirected approach is proposed in this book in two forms. For understanding the complex issue, the first is analogy for comparison of dualism with experienced activities, like a driver operating a car, or a viewer watching television. The second form is a such-as run through a system synthesis beginning with pregnancy because that is where body and soul are united. Analyzing several activities by comparing the monist approach with the dualist reality illustrates how dualism fills the gaps that cannot be explained by the materialists. Finally a system diagram of dualism is presented to show the interactions required between the physical and non-physical entities to define human nature and behavior. The disclosure of the soul's reality is of historic proportions, similar to the contentious disclosures of Isaac Newton about gravity and Galilei Galileo on the rotation of the earth around the sun, because with physical evidence it finally defines the true nature of Homo sapiens. The Greek philosophers argued the duality of man; the Enlightenment philosophers initiated the demands for physical evidence of the presence of the soul; the neuroscientists propose physical substitute explanation for the immaterial qualities of man; all seeking the true definition which is now available. The soul's mandatory permanent effects on communal, social, cultural, legal, educational, traditional, and current practices are what constitute the historic nature of this book. There is no book like this because the soul has never been firmly used in defining human behavior as a scientific reality. Philosophers and theologians have always argued for the soul's importance in human behavior. But this is the first time that an engineering logical analysis, supported by scientific evidence of soul reality, has substituted a systematic explanation of the true nature of the human being in place of the naive conceptual scientific attempts. It is written in uncomplicated, simple language for credibility and understanding.
