Author to Present Evidence of Son's Past Life as WWII Fighter Pilot at Courageous Souls Conference at Edgar Cayce's A.R.E.

Virginia Beach, VA, February 12, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Veterans of the war, former shipmates, and researchers say yes. Hear James’s father, Bruce Leininger, recount this amazing story at the Courageous Souls: Reconnecting with Your Past Lives, Soul Groups, and Soul Purpose conference at Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E., February 19-21, 2010. When young James began having vivid and detailed memories of a past life as James Huston, an American fighter pilot shot down in the battle of Iwo Jima more than 60 years ago, Bruce began a life-changing exploration of the then-unfamiliar world of reincarnation, past-life carryover, and the eternal nature of the soul.

Bruce Leininger is joined as a featured speaker by Robert Schwartz, a pioneering researcher of the phenomenon of pre-birth planning. They will share distinctive viewpoints on the meaning of past-life memories and present-life challenges, and the roles they play in our current and future lives. Adding insights to the program will be the A.R.E.’s most popular and experienced teachers on the subjects of past lives, karmic patterns, and soul purpose: John Van Auken, Barbara Lane, PhD, and Ann Jaffin. Together they will describe how current life challenges have a hidden purpose that each individual chose before birth; examine the role karma plays in current life, health, and relationships; explore past-life clues and lead a group regression; and present astonishing proof of the reality of reincarnation.

Robert Schwartz experienced a spiritual awakening during a session with a medium in 2003, when he encountered beings who knew everything about him – everything he had done, thought, and felt in his life. They told him that he had planned many of his own most difficult experiences before he was born. Realizing that knowledge of pre-birth planning could bring great healing to people and allow them to understand the deeper purpose of their life’s challenges, he devoted the next three years to studying the pre-birth plans of dozens of individuals. He is the author of Your Soul’s Plan: Discovering the Real Meaning of the Life You Planned Before You Were Born (formerly titled Courageous Souls).

Bruce Leininger is the author of Soul Survivor: The Reincarnation of a WWII Fighter Pilot. Bruce and his wife, Andrea, have been seen recently sharing their story on several national television programs, including Good Morning America and Larry King Live.

John Van Auken, an internationally renowned speaker and longtime staff member of Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E., is author of several best-selling books, including Toward a Deeper Meditation. He brings his extensive knowledge of the Cayce readings to illuminate the meaning and purpose of reincarnation and soul groups to the soul’s evolving path.

Barbara Lane, PhD, a clinical hypnotherapist in private practice, was trained by some of the foremost regression therapists in the United States and is a member of the International Association for Regression Research and Therapy. She is a specialist in past-life regression, bringing tools to identify past-life clues and their meaning to life today. Her latest book is 16 Clues to Your Past Lives: A Guide to Discovering Who You Were.

Ann Jaffin is a 40-year student of the Edgar Cayce material and author of Past Lives and Present Karma, a comprehensive study of reincarnation. She provides insights on individual karmic challenges and how they can be met and overcome.

Open to all, Courageous Souls: Reconnecting with Your Past Lives, Soul Groups, and Soul Purpose is scheduled for February 19 – 21, at Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E., 215 67th Street, Virginia Beach, VA 23451.
