        If you search the notesfiles, you may find at least a few
    references...the most recent are 727 and 701 (which is on rebirthing.)
    There are also references to Dick Sutphen.  
        Obviously, it isn't possible for us to "know" whether or not
    a past life has been "remembered."  And even if we did, others would
    not be likely to accept it.  What this means is that it appears
    to be a very personal and intimate thing.  That doesn't mean that
    it cannot be shared, just that others' input or expression should
    not necessarily be taken to heart.  While I personally have not
    done a professionally induced past life regression, I know others
    who have and have reported "remembering" many interesting things.
    I *have* had an experience of a "past life" (and just one month
    ago) but not via past life regression, as such.  I believe that
    the experience can possibly be useful;  I don't think that too much
    weight should be placed on it, however.  The only danger in it that
    I can see would be to place so much value on it that sight of the
    present lifetime is lost; i.e.,  for example, a determination that
    a massive karmic event will predispose someone to a manifest destiny
    which cannot be changed, is not a helpful attitude as far as I am
    concerned.

    I agree with Frederick.  Being regressed is an often interesting 
    experience but it should not be an end in itself.  Hopefully what
    you get will be of some use to you in your present condition.  
    Regardless of whether or not you believe in reincarnation, you still 
    have to live one life at a time.

    I have performed a couple of past-life regressions.  The story is
    in 597.2.  
    
    I don't really know what to make of it though.  I agree with Topher
    that anything involving hypnosis is not too solid.  I'm not sure
    if it's past-lives or subconscious ramblings which may or may not
    be significant to the subject.  Very interesting at any rate.
    
    Hope this helps.

	FWIT (I can't remember the book - I'll add a reply later), but
	a psychologist writes about her research into regression and
	came up with some pretty interesting results using a not to
	traditional approach.  She regressed 2000 people and asked
	the same questions, mostly around gender, dress, class/status,
	food - demographic kinds of things.  The people in her sample
	were all taken to specific time periods (if they didn't seem
	to have a life during that time they weren't included in her
	sample).  Anyway, she analyzed the results and compared it to
	known demographics for those time periods and places.  It 
        showed a very high correlation.

    I was deeply involved in regression some years ago (I was the regressor
    rather than the regresse).  I was only able to "bring the person
    back" (as in back to a past life) three times in 20 some attempts.
    One thing that I have wondered:  was the person seeing a past life
    that he or she actually had lived, or was the person's conciousness
    transported back in time where this conciousness percieves someone
    else who lived back then and interperets it as his or her own past
    life.  I find one as probable as the other.

    I was wondering...
    
    What's the best way to go about finding a "regressor", so to speak?
    I am very interested in reincarnation/past life regression and believe
    quite strongly (in my gut, so to speak) that they exist. I'm just
    not sure how to go about finding someone to help me investigate.
    
    Thanks for all suggestions.
    
    -Amy.
