The Evolution of the Soul
Can a person under hypnosis be led back through childhood, past birth, into lives lived long ago? In the years around 1900 Colonel Albert de Rochas — engineer officer, administrator of the École Polytechnique in Paris and one of the most careful researchers of hypnosis of his time — set out to test it. He put his subjects to sleep, led them back year by year and wrote down every word. In 1911 he published the results: "Les vies successives" — Successive Lives.

About this book
This is the fifth of five notebooks that give his whole book in English. Part IV, "Objections and Hypotheses", and the author's conclusions — the last notebook of the series. After three parts of evidence de Rochas puts the awkward questions to himself. Could it all be suggestion? What do people with several personalities tell us? What does the case of Mireille mean, in which a dead friend, Vincent, seems to speak through her body? How did the Geneva medium Hélène Smith live through "previous lives" without any hypnosis? Do the dead really speak at spiritist séances? He closes with the evolution of the soul, General Fix's "religion of the future" and his own conclusions, separating what he considers certain from what remains merely possible.
