Cosmic Cradle:
Spiritual Dimensions of Life before Birth
Foreword by Bernie Siegel, MD
Introduction: Amnesia of Our Spiritual Origins
Explore the hidden journey of the Soul via stories of parents, children, indigenous peoples, mystics, East-West saints, ancient philosophers, Tibetan Lamas, and Near-Death Experiencers. The stories in Cosmic Cradle come from one hundred contemporary interviews and parallels from 108 cultures and religions, including theories about pre-birth planning, cosmologies describing where our Soul dwells prior to entering the womb, and reasons why people forget pre-earthly life.
