Where was your soul before you were born? If your soul is immortal, did it have a life prior to birth? Did you choose your life and parents? Is reincarnation real?

Where was your soul before you were born? If your soul is immortal, did it have a life prior to birth? Did you choose your life and parents? Is reincarnation real? Elizabeth and Neil Carman, the authors of Cosmic Cradle, address these questions through interviews with adults and children who report pre-birth experiences (PBEs) not based on regression, hypnosis, or drugs. Instead, interviewees recall their pre-birth existence completely sober and awake.

In contrast to near-death experiences (NDEs), which have been well documented to show us what the soul experiences after death, PBEs throw light upon our lives before birth. People with NDEs sense that they return home when their spirits cross to the other side. What is the nature of this place we return to? PBEs suggest that we come from the same place we return to- we come from the Light and return to the Light. The same eternal you progresses through life before life, human life, and life after death.

This new edition of Cosmic Cradle explores your soul’s journey into your mother’s womb–where your soul comes from, the origin and purpose of your life, and the process by which you entered an earthly body. In pre-birth communications, parents meet a soul seeking to cross over from the heavenly realm to human birth. Persons with pre-birth memories recall existence in a luminous world before birth, in which they preview the upcoming life with a Divine Planner, and recall how they journeyed to their mothers’ wombs.
