Deja Vu all over again

On the news show Fox and Friends Monday morning, host Gretchen Carlson interviewed psychotherapist Brian Weiss, M.D., author of Many Lives, Many Masters, about his practice of past-life therapy.  According to the good doctor, people can suffer both emotional and physical pain in this life as a carry-over from trauma experienced in a past life.  Weiss gives two examples of this phenomenon.  If someone has a fear of heights, perhaps he was thrown from a castle wall in the sixteenth century or maybe his chronic neck pain comes from being hung in the thirteenth century.  Whatever the past-life event, a few sessions on the couch and, miraculously, one can be cured of the lingering ills.

Also, according to Weiss, as many as one quarter to one third of Americans believe in reincarnation, a low figure compared to other nations.  In predominantly Catholic countries up to one half of the population accepts reincarnation as true because, as the doctor diagnoses, reincarnation was an accepted Catholic belief until done away with by the meddling Romans in the fifth century in favor of death and immediate judgment, which are so necessary to subjucating people.

I don't know.  I might have been poisoned in a past-life... cause right now I feel like throwing up.
