Speaker 1 (00:05):
Welcome to another
episode of Live Healthy Longer
with Dr Jim.
Did you know that one out ofevery four people believe in
reincarnation?
As always on this podcast,we're searching out for the
truth, and here to guide you inthis exciting exploration of the
human soul is our host, dr JimPolikoff.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Yes, this is Dr Jim
Polikoff, and welcome to our
thousands of listeners.
I thank you once again forlistening to my podcast.
Do you believe in reincarnation?
Have we lived past lives, or isthis just a bunch of
hocus-pocus nonsense?
During this episode, we'llbegin by exploring research that
(00:45):
was performed on a bunch ofhocus-pocus nonsense.
During this episode, we'llbegin by exploring research that
was performed on a number ofmajor celebrities.
We'll discover past lifefindings for John Travolta, elon
Musk, taylor Swift, john Legend, paul McCartney, jerry Seinfeld
, holly Berry, sylvesterStallone and Lady Gaga.
(01:07):
I'm also going to relate how youcan discover who you were in a
past life, but first we'llexplore possible past lives of
the celebrities that I named.
This information is largelyprovided by an organization
called Reincarnation Research.
The organization was founded bya doctor who devoted his life
(01:31):
to scientifically researchingreincarnation, dr Walter Simju,
who very recently passed away.
Unfortunately began hisresearch about reincarnation
while working alongside Dr IanStevenson of the University of
Virginia, and, by the way, itwas Dr Stevenson who
scientifically compiled morethan 1,500 past life memory
(01:55):
cases of children, and each casehas been validated.
In any event, dr Simcu providedour world with some great
contributions during hislifetime, and we thank him.
Now let's get back to ourcelebrity past lives.
(02:16):
According to the scientific teamat Reincarnation Research,
apparently John Travolta wasRudolph Valentino in a past life
.
Now for those of you who don'tremember or never heard of
Rudolph Valentino, he was bornin 1895 and became a romantic
leading man in some of the mostpopular silent films, including
(02:39):
the Sheik, which earnedValentino a nickname, the Latin
Lover, which earned Valentino anickname the Latin Lover.
Now, if you do a Google facesearch, when comparing the faces
of John Travolta and RudolphValentino, you'll see a
noticeable resemblance.
But taking it further, bothstars devoted themselves to
acting and both sang in movies.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Here is Valentino
singing the Kashmiri love song
in a movie called the Sheik.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
Now here is John
Travolta singing Sandy from the
movie Grease.
Sandy, can't you see I'm inmisery?
Made of star now we're apart,there's nothing left for me.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
There is a huge sound
difference in these old and
modern excerpts, but if youlisten closely you may have
detected a definite similarityin style and inflection.
However, travolta and Valentinohad more than acting and
singing in common.
Rudolf Valentino was deeplyinto spiritual phenomena and of
(04:21):
course we know John Travolta hasembraced Scientology.
Let's see if you can recognizethis next celebrity voice.
I bet you can't.
Speaker 5 (04:35):
Humanity has
obviously a lot of issues and
you know people at times do badthings.
But despite all that, I lovehumanity and I think we should
make sure we do everything wecan to have a good future and an
exciting future and one thatmaximizes the happiness of the
(04:57):
people.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Now, that was
multi-billionaire Elon Musk
after his SpaceX launch.
Did you ever wonder why Musknamed his automobile Tesla?
Well, let me take you back tothe 1800s.
Nikola Tesla was a competitorof Thomas Edison in the 1890s
and is known for his inventionof alternating current, known
today as AC.
Unfortunately, mr Tesla's workfell into relative obscurity,
(05:28):
while Thomas Edison becamefamous for his inventions of
electric power, sound recordingand motion pictures.
It's said that Edison felt badlythat the work of his adversary,
nikola Tesla, was neverproperly praised.
So if it's true that ThomasEdison reincarnated as Elon Musk
(05:50):
, it's not surprising that Musknamed his car company Tesla.
Perhaps he instinctively feltsorry for his old friend who
never received properrecognition.
According to Elon Musk, and Iwill quote, tesla deserved a
little bit more play than he got.
But on balance, I must admitI'm a bigger fan of Edison.
(06:14):
The fact is, when you comparefacial features of Musk and
Edison, the resemblance isuncanny.
Now, thomas Edison was a giftedinventor and businessman who
changed the world through hisinnovations.
Well, so was the founder ofSpaceX and Tesla, who now seeks
(06:35):
the expansion of artificialintelligence.
There are so many similaritiesbetween Elon Musk and Thomas
Edison that their reincarnationcannot be discounted.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Union Miners stand
together.
Do not heed the cold war'stales.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Keep your hands upon
your wages and your eye upon the
scale In the 1930s, a politicalactivist named Florence Reese
wrote the song which Side Areyou On?
Florence Reese wrote the songwhich Side Are you On During the
(07:24):
violent conflict between minersand coal operators in Harlan
County, kentucky.
Florence Reese became a legendand then she passed away in 1986
.
Three years later, in 1989, asoon-to-be superstar was born.
Her name is Taylor Swift and,in addition to being a
(07:45):
songwriter, like Florence Reese,she has become a political
activist speaking out aboutwomen's inequality, sexism and
Donald Trump.
Once, when accused of being awhite supremacist, taylor Swift
lashed back and wrote the songLook what you Made Me Do.
Kind of interesting to tie intospirituality and reincarnation.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Listen to the song.
Like your tilted stage, therole you made me play, the fool.
No, I don't like you.
I don't like your perfect crime.
Speaker 6 (08:29):
How you laugh when
you lie.
You said the gun was mine.
Isn't cool?
No, I don't like you.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
There are many
chapters ahead to be written
about Taylor Swift, but with somuch in common, she could have
easily been Florence Reese in apast life.
Speaking of having things incommon.
See if you can identify the manwith this voice.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Chestnuts roasting on
an open fire, jack Frost
nipping at your nose, yuletidecarols being sung by a choir and
folks dressed up like Eskimos.
(09:28):
Everybody knows, everyone knowsA turkey, and some mistletoes
have to make Help to make theseason bright.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Even if you were born
after 1965, the year he passed
away, you likely know the nameNat King Cole.
Of course, that was Cole'svoice, but you also heard the
voice of John Legend, becausethis rendition was actually a
duet, with both King Cole andJohn Legend singing the holiday
(10:06):
favorite, the Christmas Song.
Of course, the two did notactually sing this duet together
.
John Legend was born in 1978,13 years after the death of Nat
Cole, but if you download theGoogle app Face Comparison, you
will see a striking resemblancebetween these two singers.
(10:28):
Now, while John Legend neveractually admitted to once living
as Nat King Cole, what John hadto say during an interview
certainly makes you wonder.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
Nat King Cole's voice
has been so resonant for so
many years and so many of hissongs have meant so much to me.
He's one of my musical heroes,one of my role models for how I
sing, how I phrase, how I thinkabout music, and I'm honored to
(11:02):
sit here at his piano at CapitolRecords.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
In early 1860, a
comedic writer by the name of
John Thompson Ford wrote a playentitled Richmond.
As it Is, it focused on thehumorous aspects of everyday
life, or something about nothing.
Does this theme remind you of apopular TV series?
Here's a funny car reservationepisode from that series.
(11:39):
Can?
Speaker 6 (11:40):
I help you.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Name please.
Seinfeld, you made areservation for a midsize and
she's a small.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
I'm kidding around,
of course.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
Okay, let's see here
66 years old.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Yeah well, he's in
perfect health, he works out,
he's vibrant.
You'd really like him.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Why do people always
say that I's vibrant, you'd
really like him.
Why do people always say that Ihate everybody?
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Why would I like him?
So what do you think?
Could you go out with a66-year-old woman?
Speaker 6 (12:07):
Well, I'll tell you.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
She would have to be
really vibrant.
It's funny, or should I say odd, that almost 120 years after
John Ford's force, that wassomething about nothing came one
of the most successful TVcomedies of all times, seinfeld
Again something about nothing.
As with the previouscelebrities, the scientific
(12:33):
experts at reincarnationresearch contend that comedy
writer John Thompson Ford wasreincarnated as Jerry Seinfeld.
By the way, in 1865, johnThompson Ford managed Ford's
Theater, where Abraham Lincolnwas unfortunately assassinated.
You have been listening to abit of the classic Four Seasons
(13:11):
written by the famous composerAntonio Lovaldi.
When the Beatles recorded oneof their first hits, eleanor
Rigby, they'd already madehistory by using a string
quartet as a backup to PaulMcCartney's.
Yesterday, apparently,mccartney had once again
listened to Bobaldi's FourSeasons and convinced John
Lennon they should use a stringquartet for Rigby, which of
(13:33):
course gave that song its uniqueflavor.
Could Paul?
Speaker 4 (13:37):
McCartney have been a
genius composer and Antonio
Vivaldi in a previous life.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Here is what Paul
said, and I quote my
subconscious exposure toclassical music I want to
emphasize the word subconsciousgave me a highly developed
appreciation of melody andharmony.
That influenced my writingstyle, particularly in later
years.
Speaker 6 (14:24):
I've got rhythm.
I've got music.
I've got my man who could askfor anything more.
I've got daisies in greenpastures.
I've got my man who could askfor anything more.
Old man trouble.
I don't mind him, you won'tfind him around my door.
I've got starlight.
(14:44):
I've got sweet dreams.
I got my man who could ask foranything more.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Was that Dorothy
Dandridge or was it Holly Berry
portraying Dorothy in a movie?
Apparently, there is scientificdata that suggests Academy
Award winning it.
Holly Berry portraying Dorothyin a movie.
Apparently, there is scientificdata that suggests Academy
Award-winning actress HollyBerry lived a past life as
Dorothy Dandridge.
Both Berry and Dandridge wereborn in Cleveland, Ohio.
Dorothy passed away in 1965,and Holly's birth was in 1966.
(15:19):
Again, if you face comparison,their facial features are almost
identical.
At the height of her career,Dorothy Dandridge was nominated
for an Oscar based on hermagnificent performance in
Carmen Jones.
However, it's said thatdiscrimination against
African-American actors backthen prevented her from winning
(15:47):
her from winning.
But in 2002, Holly Berryfulfilled Dorothy's dream by
becoming the first Black womanto win an Academy Award as Best
Actress for her leading role inthe Monster's Ball.
But these facts became morethan coincidences when Holly
Berry was motivated to produceand star in a movie titled
Introducing Dorothy Dandridge.
This was an emotionalbiographic picture of Dorothy's
rise to fame and fortune as adancer, singer and actress.
(16:11):
But then came her sad demisedue to drug overdose.
Even though she once portrayeda crack cocaine actress in a
movie, Holly Berry has neverbeen into drugs and lives a
healthy lifestyle.
Holly Berry has never been intodrugs and lives a healthy
lifestyle.
Perhaps Holly Berry is a goodexample that we can learn and
(16:41):
improve from past lifeexperiences there are some
celebrities who admit they haveactually experienced
reincarnation.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Nobody's ever gone
the distance from Crete and if I
can go that distance, seeingthat bell rings and I'm still
standing, I weren't just anotherbum from the neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Yes, that's Sylvester
Stallone from the Oscar-winning
movie Rocky, and he'sdefinitely a believer in
reincarnation.
Stallone's success with themovies about Rocky Balboa may
have resulted from his beliefand claim that he was once a
(17:21):
boxer killed by a knockout punchin the 1930s.
Additionally, stallone iscertain he's had at least four
past lives.
During an interview he statedI'm quite sure I lost my head in
the French Revolution.
He elaborated saying I've beenreading about the Jacobins.
And when someone at a partysaid how often it must be to be
guillotined, I found myselfsaying oh no, it really doesn't
(17:47):
hurt.
You don't feel anything exceptyour head hits the basket and
that's it.
When Stallone was asked abouthis next life, he said I want to
be heavyweight champion of theworld.
Ironic, isn't it?
Well, it's up to you to believeor not believe whether he was
beheaded in the FrenchRevolution or killed in the
1930s by a knockout punch.
But still, sylvester Stallonedoes believe he's been
(18:11):
reincarnated many times.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
See if you can
identify this believer in
reincarnation.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Yes, that was Lady
Gaga singing one of her hits,
born this Way.
Some believe the song isindicative of her belief in past
lives.
In one of her interviews, ladyGaga stated I believe that I had
a reincarnation and I believethat you can be reborn over and
(19:06):
over again.
I believe it was my father'ssister and her spirit is within
me.
Born Stefani Joanne Germanotta.
In 1955, lady Gaga wasreferring to her aunt, joanne
Stefani Germanotta, who died at19 from lupus.
As the interview continued, shesaid my middle name is Joanne,
(19:31):
which is my dad's sister's name,and her middle name is Stefani,
which is my birth name.
Whenever I see my grandmotheror other family members, they
say you look so much like herand I believe that she had so
much left unfinished business onthis earth.
She was creative, like a poet,a writer, a painter.
(19:52):
Lady Gaga concluded theinterview saying I have two
hearts and one is hers.
There are actually millions ofpeople, just like Lady Gaga and
Sylvester Stallone, who believethat each of us is inhabited by
a soul that has previous lives.
Have you ever wondered if youyourself lived past lives and
(20:24):
have been reincarnated?
Well, there's one way to findout.
The first step is to seek out aspecialist in past life
regression who is skilled inhelping you to visualize your
past lives.
This individual is known as apast life regressionist and
should be certified inhypnotherapy regressionist, and
(20:44):
should be certified inhypnotherapy On occasion.
By the way, the regressionistmay also be as we refer to as a
psychic intuitive.
Now, if she has psychicintuitive abilities, she can
actually help regression withoutyou having to undergo hypnosis,
but hypnosis is always thefirst choice.
(21:05):
I'll be interviewing such arespected specialist in an
upcoming episode.
Her name is Karen Kubico andshe's actually recovered
memories from 150 of her ownpast lives 150 past lives
difficult to imagine, but that'snot to speak of the numerous
people she has helped to recalltheir past lives.
(21:25):
By the way, did you know thatyou don't even have to leave
home to explore your past lives?
Many skilled regressionists,such as Karen Kubico, can
actually conduct these sessionsvia Zoom.
Ah, the wonder of technology.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
Speaking of
reincarnation and past lives,
did you know that Dr JimPolakoff has written a highly
acclaimed novel which receivesfive-star reviews?
It is the fascinating andthrilling story of Aaron O'Brien
, who rises to stardom, ismurdered and then becomes
