ha ha reincarnation is “science” now?
Unless the whole world took a bunch of crazy pills while I was asleep, we all still collectively agree, as a species, that reincarnation is a supernatural and religious concept that can’t be proven any more than life after death or ghosts. So why are you inviting someone on to speak about it as if it were science? I know psychology isn't quite as, how to put this nicely, "academically rigorous" as actual science-based fields of study, but surely you don't have to completely abandon rational thought. Who will you invite next? An expert on the "science" of astrology? A doctor who studies the "facts" behind palmistry? A ghost? And is nobody sounding an alarm about the fact that this guy works with kids? The whole "recovered memory" movement from the 80s and 90s has been shown to be completely falsifiable, and experiments have proven that you can literally implant memories into subjects. Also, children don't have fully grown brains. I don't mean to dis kids, but I'm not sure we should take everything they say with complete seriousness. The satanic panic from the 80s, which permanently traumatized patients, destroyed lives, and tore apart families, was caused by adults who built up elaborate fantasy worlds powered by the "testimony" of children who often had no idea what they were contributing to. As you can imagine, I've unsubscribed. But I'm making a note of your name so that if it pops up elsewhere, I can draw attention to the fact that you promote reincarnation as scientific fact and apparently think it's okay to treat innocent children as if they're reincarnated adults.Read full review »

Since the very first time I listened to Dr. Barry, I got hooked. In 30 minutes (or less) one can learn a lot about our own mental processes and how to improve our lives. Highly recommended.
