London Month of the Dead - Reincarnation, Consciousness and the Occult

HAVE WE ALL BEEN HERE BEFORE? The Case for Reincarnation with Gary Lachman on Sunday the 26th October 2025 at 3:30 pm Reincarnation has been part of human culture for millennia. It is at the heart of world religions, the ancient Greeks accepted it, it forms the central teaching of esoteric doctrines, and everyday people, like you and I, have found themselves haunted by memories of past lives. What do we know about this strange idea, which has us coming back to life as different person after our death? In this talk, writer and cultural historian Gary Lachman explores the idea of reincarnation including its historical roots, its role in spiritual traditions and the modern experiences that continue to fuel belief in it today. Drawing on philosophy, psychology, and mysticism, Lachman aims to shed light on why this enduring idea still captures the imagination and whether it might hold a deeper truth about who we really are.
