Theos-Talk Archives (March 2002 Message tt00555)

Muehlegger copies page after page from Paul Edwards' REINCARNATION: 
A CRITICAL EXAMINATION into her numerous postings without using 
quotation marks and without acknowledging that Dr. Edwards wrote the 
material. Muehlegger adds a few of her own comments from time to time 
into the text of the copied material and then adds her name to the 
entire posting. The end result is a jumble of texts.

Interested readers would be well advised to actually go to Dr. 
Edwards' book and fully read what he wrote and argued. 

You can order Dr. Edwards' book at Amazon.com. Click on this link:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1573929212/

The cover of the book is at:

I actually encouraged theosophists to read the book when it first 
came out. See:

An extended critique of Dr. Edwards' book will be found in Dr. Robert 
Almeder's essay titled:

"A Critique of Arguments Offered Against Reincarnation"

published in the Journal of Scientific Exploration, 1997, Volume 11, 
Number 4. For an abstract of Almeder's critique, see:

http://www.scientificexploration.org/jse/abstracts/v11n4a5.html

I strongly recommend Dr. Almeder's essay where he deals with many of 
Edwards' arguments.

You can order that number of the journal at:

Dr. Almeder also critiques some of Edwards' contentions and ideas in 
his book DEATH AND PERSONAL SURVIVAL, see Chapter 1 
on "Reincarnation," pp. 1-95, especially pp. 34-42.

their right value; and unless a judge compares notes and
hears both sides he can hardly come to a correct decision."
