Walter Semkiw, MD, is founder and president of the Institute for the Integration of Science, Intuition, and Spirit. He is author of Born Again, Return of the Revolutionaries: The Case for Reincarnation and Soul Groups Reunited, and Origin of the Soul and the Purpose of Reincarnation.

Here Walter Semkiw and host, Jeffrey Mishlove, discuss in further depth the implications of the notion that Mishlove was William James in a past lifetime. Mishlove points out that he remains skeptical of this identification that was made more than fifteen years ago – and that William James also would have been skeptical. He brings up the work in “artificial reincarnation” by the Russian psychiatrist Vladimir Raikov. Semkiw claims that Raikov’s work is best explained in terms of spirit possession or mediumship. Semkiw argues that, over time, evidence of reincarnation is going to create a new world in which people will understand the futility of harboring hostility to others of different ethnic backgrounds.
