In a letter to his friendGeorge Whatley written May 23, 1785,Benjamin Franklin put forward his theory of reincarnation:[1]
I say, that, when I see nothing annihilated, and not even a Drop of Water wasted, I cannot suspect the Annihilation of Souls, or believe, that [God] will suffer the daily Waste of Millions of Minds ready made that now exist, and put himself to the continual Trouble of making new ones. Thus finding myself to exist in the World, I believe I shall, in some Shape or other, always exist; and, with all the inconveniences human Life is liable to, I shall not object to a new Edition of mine; hoping, however, that theErrata of the last may be corrected.[2]
Thomas Huxley, the famous English biologist, thought that reincarnation was a plausible idea and discussed it in his bookEvolution and Ethics and other Essays.[page needed] Irish poet and Nobel LaureateWilliam Butler Yeats proposed a novel theory inA Vision, according to which rebirth does not occur within a framework of linear time.Hermann Hesse, Literary Nobel Prize, 1946, expressed a viewpoint of "...reincarnation as a mode of expression for stability in the midst of flux."Henry Ford was convinced he had lived before, most recently as a soldier killed at thebattle of Gettysburg. A quote from theSan Francisco Examiner from August 26, 1928 described Ford's beliefs:
I adopted the theory of Reincarnation when I was twenty-six. Religion offered nothing to the point. Even work could not give me complete satisfaction. Work is futile if we cannot utilise the experience we collect in one life in the next. When I discovered Reincarnation it was as if I had found a universal plan I realised that there was a chance to work out my ideas. Time was no longer limited. I was no longer a slave to the hands of the clock. Genius is experience. Some seem to think that it is a gift or talent, but it is the fruit of long experience in many lives. Some are older souls than others, and so they know more. The discovery of Reincarnation put my mind at ease. If you preserve a record of this conversation, write it so that it puts men’s minds at ease. I would like to communicate to others the calmness that the long view of life gives to us.
GeneralGeorge S. Patton was a staunch believer in reincarnation and claimed to have had several past lives as warriors.[3]

Hi EPadmirateur. I think you wrote the major part ofLancaster Steiner School back in 2012, so I'm letting you know that I havenominated it for deletion. I did look for additional secondary sources, but found very little. Best wishes,Tacyarg (talk)07:32, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
