Robert T. James was born in 1923 and is a resident of Colorado Springs, Colorado.  He has received a Bachelor of Science Degree and a Juris Doctor Degree from the University of Denver.  After practicing law for 35 years, he retired from law in 1986 and returned to college.  For three years he took courses in psychology and psychotherapy at the University of Colorado in Colorado Springs, as a background for the past-life research he planned to conduct.

 Dr. James has been an active student of hypnosis for some 40 years, and over that period of time, has attended numerous schools and workshops studying general hypnosis, forensic hypnosis, and hypnotherapy.  He has had a great deal of practical experience in hypnosis along with supervised training.  He has been certified both as a Master Hypnotist and a Hypnotherapist by The American Council of Hypnotist Examiners. 

            Dr. James is a pragmatist and a skeptic.  He does not rely on the opinions of religious leaders, sacred books, or the experiences of psychics.  He does not accept the premise that the existence of past lives should be based on trust or faith, but does not attempt to denigrate those who do accept spiritual matters on faith.  He looks for verifiable evidence, and attempts to draw rational conclusions from that evidence.

Before conducting his research, he was neither a believer nor a disbeliever in the past-life phenomena, but felt because of his background in hypnosis and psychology, he was in a unique position to impartially research this phenomena.

After examining the research of others and his own, he is now of the opinion that the evidence is overwhelming that we are indeed spiritual beings, having lived many times before, and are now having another human experience. 

Today’s scientific methods realistically require that the proponents of a theory or proposition such as the existence of past lives assume the responsibility of demonstrating the truth of their assertions.  That burden has now been met.  The recall of regressed past-life memories is no longer the realm of religious belief or the insights of the enlightened, but a matter of demonstrable, human experience.  The burden of proof has now shifted to the detractors of past lives to show that such is not the normal part of our reality.
