All good suggestions. Keep them coming.
Ocean, you're on the right track. We want to be more integrated with other places online where reincarnation is being discussed. We just don't know how, yet.
We're going to take a hard look at the underlying software and server infrastructure of the...
S&S,
Thank you for sharing your pet peeve. If it's troubling you, it's troubling other people too. This is the kind of small fix we're looking to gather. Along with the big ideas, that I hope to see as well.
Steve
I'm starting a new thread so we can continue the flow of ideas already flowing under my Announcement thread. Apparently the Forum's near-death experience has jolted people into action.
We--Carol, me, Tinkerman, and Deb--want to hear any and all ideas for how we can improve this Forum. All...
Carol gave this lecture in 2017 at a local library. The lecture was sponsored by MUFON. We knew it was being taped, but we didn't know that MUFON was going to post it and promote it online. That version got more than a million views. But then, for reasons we never understood, they took it down...
Hello,
Here, for the first time posted in public, is the essay Carol wrote for the Bigelow Institute essay competition. We actually worked on it together, full-time for five months. We didn't win.
Here's the link to read the pdf or download it.

We encourage you to...
GuySitting, thanks for this. You just found and contributed that video, right? I'll show it to Carol.
Carol is including this case in her current writing project; we call it "9/11 Baby". It is, in her opinion, the best American case--as good as the best of the Stevenson cases. The only...
Thank you for your replies and suggestions.
Carol is including the Baby 9/11 case, but with changed names. She doesn't want to contact the Long Island family, so as not to upset them. It's a tough decision. Maybe someday.
We'll look at the Tomo case. And the YouTube "That's So Strange" case...
I was originally thinking of just the posts by members, the ones from families (usually mothers) who are asking for help and validation. "Don't think I'm crazy, but ..." That's the first purpose of this Forum, to help those families.
But now that you mention it, we are interested in whatever...
This is Steve, Carol Bowman's husband.
Carol and I are back to writing about children's past lives. Yay! It's taken me 20 years to get Carol to write again. She's finally doing it. It'll be worth the wait. She has a lot to add to the ideas in the first two books published 20 years ago. We can't...
Hello mods and helpers and friends of the Reincarnation Forum,
This is Steve Bowman, Carol's husband, webmaster, and Grand Poobah! We're going to be upgrading the underlying software of the Forum as soon as this evening (2/9/16), most likely tomorrow (2/10/16). This means that, when I say...
Firebird, you're correct that we can't stop unsolicited solicitations altogether. We discourage it, and retain the right to ban any person doing the soliciting who flouts our rules and does it repeatedly. We want to make it hard to get away with. And make it easy for anybody who is bothered...
Mama2 -- good point. "Safe" means safe from hecklers and bullies as well. Of course it's a judgment call--what's a heckle and what's healthy skepticism? But I'm sure regular Members like you, and the mods, know the difference and know how to handle it.
So I'm all in favor of adding hecklers...
Our "safe place" policy is becoming even more important, and more necessary to enforce strictly, as the media is waking up to the money-making, audience-building potential of children's past life memories. I think the Leininger book had a lot to do with it.
We know of more and more TV...
Hello,
Carol and I just saw last night's Stephen Colbert Report (Comedy Central) and he led with a story about a child remembering to be Hitler. He was commenting on a recent article on Huffington Post.
Of course Colbert was making a joke of it. (Great line: "I don't believe in...
Carol just discovered that dozens of people are sharing stories about their children remembering a past life in the comments on Brian Weiss' Facebook Page.

But unfortunately the Facebook format makes it hard for anybody to go into any depth. We know from...
Link to Four Signs on Carol's Website
Hello,
Deborah just emailed me to say that the link to the Four Signs excerpt on Carol's website is down. Yes it is, because I'm converting it to the new website template. I hope to have it up by the end of today (Sunday)--along with all of the other...
Chase's new website is www.SimpleandSupreem.com. He did much of the website himself. Abundant samples of his music are there, and a video. It's aimed at young people, so forgive the raunchy language. It's very funny.
Chase is also well on his way to being a professional director of...
Excellent comments. Carol and I are glad to see that the program triggered so much thought and even rememberance. For every person who finds this Forum, there are a thousand who are thinking the same things.
I would like to comment to somebody up there in the thread who said the evidence...
If you saw the rebroadcast of the Leininger case on ABC Primetime tonight, Carol and I are curious to know what you thought. If you viewed it with a skeptic (we know some people who planned to), what effect did it have on the skeptic.
