This is old news, much older of course than the original article's pub date in 2K but interesting nonetheless.

Here's a [Link] to 'The Reincarnation Research of Ian Stevenson, MD' where we see:

"5. Gender usually stays the same . In 90 percent of Dr. Stevenson’s cases, the child returns assuming the same sex as in the past lifetime. Thus, in ten percent of cases, gender is reversed from one lifetime to another. The observation that gender only changes in 10 percent of reincarnation cases can bring insights on homosexuality, transsexuallism and gender identity problems ."

Following a link in the text above we are taken to a page, 'Gender Can Change from One Lifetime to Another' seen at this [Link] .

Some reading there might well clear up some of the confusion that's been going on around here the last few months, with cases under the heading, 'Independently Researched Past Life Cases with Gender Change, Physical Resemblance & Images' being relevant.

"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,

Than are dreamt of in your philosophy."

Then there is of course the matter that time isn't the linear little shtick we think we experience. Rather, it's much more likely a pretty much unimaginable 'collection' of seemingly parallel universes, all separate from each other by any view commonly available here but in fact inextricably intermingled and interacting.

So 'past lives' aren't really past at all and neither did one come 'before' or 'after' another.

Quote of the Day

State power has its own limits defined by the fact that it is authority that reaches people from outside. State power cannot oversee and dictate the creative states of the soul and mind, the inner states of love, freedom and goodwill. The state cannot demand from its citizens faith, prayer, love, goodness and conviction. It cannot regulate scientific, religious and artistic creation. It should not intervene in moral, family and daily private life, and only when extremely necessary should it impinge on people's economic initiative and creativity.
