Tracing back the root cause of one's present problem in past lives in this fashion, does take considerable time but once it is found, the improvement is quite rapid, sometimes the relief is almost instantaneous. That is why many psychotherapists have turned to past-life therapy in USA. Dr. Dick Sutphen from Malibou, California Dr. Edith Fiore Saratoga Cal. and Dr. Morris Netherton of Los Angeles, are some of the leading names in this field.

Dr. Raynor Johnson from Melbourne University who has been involved in the study of rebirth phenomenon, rounding off the discussion on parapsychological research in his book 'The Imprisoned Splendour' concludes, "to sum up, we have enough trustworthy evidence to anticipate our survival of the change called death."16
Reminiscence of one's previous birth in the present life has not only substantiated the phenomenon of rebirth but has seriously challenged the modern scientific belief that our memory is based on perception-images recorded in our brain
