I often wondered in the past why it is that the land of Britain which, nearly two thousand years earlier, accepted and valued the doctrine of reincarnation and therefore looked on death as an interval between two earth-lives, should have so far forgotten its former allegiance as to dwell in the dusk between the narrow limitations of single-embodiment belief and the hopeless outlook of agnosticism or atheism. It is pleasant to welcome the contemporary revival of interest, in many cases, and acceptance in others, where rebirth is discussed.
