Looking for Carroll Beckwith

Looking for Carroll Beckwith, The True Story of a Detective's Search for His Past Life by Robert L. Snow, Daybreak Books, 1999.

Summary

(From book cover) What do a nineteenth-century painter and a twentieth-century police commander have in common? Perhaps their very souls.

Captain Robert L. Snow, commander of the homicide branch at the Indianapolis Police Department, is about to embark on a startling journey--one that will take him far away from the orderly and controlled life he has known. Captain Snow is about to go back in time and meet who he was in a previous life.

In Looking for Carroll Beckwith, Robert Snow tells the true story of his search for his past, hints of which he discovers while under hypnosis. Haunted by the images he recounted, Snow sets out to prove them wrong, using the rational, just-the-facts techniques of a veteran police investigator. Instead, in an enthralling and surprising journey, he proves not only to himself but also to the entire world the amazing truth: that most every recollection he had while hypnotized actually happened--nearly 100 years earlier!

Looking for Carroll Beckwith reads like the most intriguing of fiction, filled with the twists and turns and surprises of a classic detective yarn. But every word is true. Read it, and you too will believe that Robert Snow was indeed Carroll Beckwith.

Key Results

Robert Snow's memories of his most recent past life were entirely obtained from several regression sessions, without any spontaneous memory.

He was particularly obsessed with two paintings seen in his past life. By an amazing coincidence, he encountered one of them in a small art gallery while on vacation.

He identified some 28 separate facts relating to his past life visions which he attempted to verify. A very unusual data source turned out to be more than 15,000 pages in a daily diary kept by Mr. Beckwith during the last 46 years of his life. The only significant variance between the facts resulting from Snow's regression and the facts uncovered in the extensive investigation was a mistake in remembrance of his wife's name, about which he felt somewhat uncertain when he first related it.

With such a unique data source as this diary, it was not explained in the book why a much more intensive regression schedule was not used, in order to develop a much deeper past life experience base.

Primary Reason to Read this Work

To gain further confidence in the reality of reincarnation, based on a very thorough investigation by a very credible source who developed all past life information through hypnotic regression.
