Explains Personality

As a parapsychologist,
though, Dr. Stevenson believes
reincarnation "can offer the
chance to explain certain
aspects of human personality
that modern theories of
heredity and environmental
influences don't adequately
explain."

Nevertheless, he emphasizes
that he does not regard any of
these cases as providing
individually or collectively a
proof of reincarnation, but
rather that they provide a body
of evidence which is
increasingly impressive.

"I'm simply looking for a
third dimension," he explains.

Thus, it may be wise to take
heed from this cryptic
commentary and be kind to
your friends in the swamp–for
a duck may be somebody's
mother.
