Product Description
Are past life clues evidence of reincarnation hidden in the pages of history? Did Abraham Lincoln's story end with his assassination, or did he return in the Twentieth Century? A great master of yoga Paramhansa Yogananda, author of the classic Autobiography Of A Yogi said that Abraham Lincoln had been a Himalayan yogi in a past life, and that he was reborn as the acclaimed aviator, Charles Lindbergh. An intriguing statement, but what do the histories show? Is there anything in the deeply chronicled lives of these two famous men that validates those words? In Soul Journey from Lincoln to Lindbergh, Richard Salva presents powerful historical evidence of past lives nearly 500 similarities in the personalities, characters, and life circumstances of these two American icons. The astonishing Lincoln-Lindbergh connections span every aspect of the human condition: from the physical to the mental, emotional, spiritual and interpersonal. Readers will be amazed to discover that Lindbergh married the woman Lincoln loved and lost America blessed and rewarded Lincoln through Lindbergh Both men lost a son while in the public eye Both men spoke with the dead Lincooln's civil War experiences helped form Lindbergh's anti-war stance And much more! By drawing parallels to the life and words of Lincoln, the author illuminates the past-life experiences that influenced Lindbergh thus presenting answers to questions that have puzzled historians for decades. By the same token, Salva explains how similar past-life influences affect each of us in our daily lives. Soul Journey from Lincoln to Lindbergh explores other important issues, such as: the hidden spiritual history of America's greatest president, including his past life as a Himalayan yogi; how greatness is achieved; and the spiritual principles behind the yoga postures that millions practice. This is the first in-depth study of reincarnation based on the lives of actual, historic figures. The reader is not asked to take Salva's words for what he has written, but can feel free to verify the information in books found in most public libraries. Soul Journey from Lincoln to Lindbergh sets a new trend in past-life studies and, in the words of Swami Kriyananda, direct disciple and spiritual heir of Paramhansa Yogananda, "deserves to become a classic."

Richard Salva is one of the most compelling and knowledgeable guests, it has been my pleasure to ever have on my radio shows. His book "Soul Journey: From Lincoln to Lindbergh" is the best written book, I have seen on the topic of reincarnation, karma and understanding the nature and progression of Spiritual growth. His book is a must read for anyone who has ever wondered about reincarnation.

Brilliant, creative work of metaphysical U.S. history

A simple premise: the 19th century soul of Abraham Lincoln reincarnated on earth as 20th century Charles Lindbergh. While the thesis of this book could be considered a marginal, "unscientific" one within the realm of pure academia, I hope that at least a few serious scholars give this book a look. This is a brilliant work not just of metaphysics, but of U.S. history. Salva presents the true heart and soul of these two giants in a highly readable anecdoctal style that cuts through all confusion and gets right to the heart of the men. The view of Lincoln given here is probably unique and also probably more accurate than portrayed to date. Portions of the Civil War section are devastating: Lincoln was wracked with guilt over the war, yet compelled by duty to defend the Union. A very powerful, well-researched, and perceptive view of the President at war.
For those like myself who knew almost nothing about Charles Lindbergh other than the stock cliches of "famous pilot" and of "Nazi-lover," (the prevailing view within "The Nation" magazine) this is a brilliant well-balanced introduction to the man. I wish I had read this book before I had read other negative accounts regarding Lindbergh, because what emerges from these pages is a clear picture of a great American. A man, I should say, who clearly is not an anti-Semite or a Nazi-lover, despite the frequency of those charges. Salva also does an excellent job at explaining the mysterious, almost frightening, worldwide fame that came to Lindbergh very suddenly after that first transatlantic flight.
This is a creative and soulful, but serious work of history. The author has succeeded in his quest to "prove" the intuitive statement of the great yogi Paramhansa Yogananda that inspired this book. The book could be improved with a bibliography that included more information on sources, such as year of publication and publisher. Other than that, there is not really any other way that this work could be better. I recommend it highly to those interested in reincarnation and history alike.

A unique and compelling reassessment of their lives, accomplishments, and coincidences

It is the premise of Soul Journey From Lincoln To Lindbergh by Richard Salva (an author, minister, and for more than thirty years a dedicated student of yoga who studied under Paramhansa Yogananda) that Abraham Lincoln was, in a former life, a Himalayan yogi of advanced spiritual attainment, and that after his assassination at the hands of John Wilkes Booth, was reincarnated as Charles Lindbergh. Soul Journey From Lincoln To Lindbergh presents hundreds of similarities in the personalities, character, and life circumstances between Lincoln and Lindbergh, presenting an articulate, documented, persuasively iconoclastic argument that offers a unique and compelling reassessment of their lives, accomplishments, and coincidences. Soul Journey From Lincoln To Lindbergh will be of very special interest to Metaphysical Studies collections in general, and students of reincarnation in particular.

Remarkable Comparison

A highly researched comparison between the lives of Lincoln and Lindbergh. I was surprised by many of the facts of their private lives that seemed to have escaped the history books. If you believe in reincarnation or not, this book will give you insight into two amazing lives or should I say; one remarkable soul.
