So it's no surprise to see a video posted recently online, embedded below, by the DoPS in which another researcher there, Dr Jim Tucker, is interviewed by John Cleese himself.
In the nine-minute-long video, Tucker gives a short history of the reincarnation research performed by the DoPS since the 1960s, beginning with Ian Stevenson, through which they have now collected 2500 cases of past-life recollection.
He then goes into detail about how they collect case information and evidence, along with a description of one of their 'best' evidentiary cases.
John Cleese is a friend and supporter of the research being done at UVA DOPS into the nature of consciousness. Mr. Cleese has a long history of personal interest in this important area of inquiry.You can learn more about the Division of Perceptual Studies at their website.
In this video John Cleese is interviewing pediatric psychiatrist and director of UVA DOPS, Dr. Jim Tucker, about his research into the memories of young children who appear to recall specific factual memories of a previous life. In this video, Dr. Tucker presents some of the details of the case of 'Ryan' who recalled specific facts about the life of a man name 'Marty Martin'.

"AND NOTHING ELSE!"
a quote from Sir John Cleese in a funny little diddy I heard on a podcast in which Sir Cleese is playing a tour guide for a bus full of students and upon coming into Switzerland he, Sir John Cleese says,
"And now we are in Switzerland, a land known for fine chocolates, skiing and NOTHING ELSE!"
Yes, all one needs to say in this household is that line done with comedic perfection by Sir John Cleese and well I'll tell you, it certainly quells all angry or sad feelings.
Or...there is always "Morning Master!" that is from 'The Life of Brian" a marvelously funny movie and a must see for all.
