Description: Art Bell welcomes Dr. Brian Weiss, psychiatrist and chairman emeritus at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami, who describes how traditional hypnotherapy with a patient named Catherine unexpectedly led to vivid past-life memories dating back 4,000 years. When Catherine channeled specific details about Art's deceased father and infant son that she could not have known, including his father's Hebrew name Avram and his son's rare heart condition, Weiss became convinced these experiences transcended ordinary imagination.Weiss shares several cases supporting reincarnation, including a Chinese surgeon who spoke fluent English during regression despite never having learned the language, and Jenny Cockell, a British woman who located her past-life children in Ireland using childhood maps and memories. He explains the process between lives, describing how consciousness persists after death, encounters spiritual figures and light, undergoes life review, and plans future incarnations with soul families across changing races, religions, and genders.Art opens the show with reports of deep mysterious tremors beneath the San Andreas Fault near Parkfield, record-breaking temperature spikes in Tokyo, and scientific warnings that the brutal 2003 European heat wave that killed up to 35,000 people was largely caused by human activity. A caller shares a Federation of American Scientists report on a U.S. Air Force study validating psychic teleportation as physically real.
