A Challenge from Beyond

I'm working on an infographic right now to try to simply explain (and understand) the differences in reincarnation beliefs across different religions.  I revisited the howstuffworks.com article about reincarnation, and realized I never read this sidebar referring to Dr. Ian Stevenson, whose video lecture you might have watched on my blog last week:

“Although Stevenson never publicly stated a personal belief in reincarnation, he did express his desire to communicate after death. Nearly 40 years ago, the psychiatrist purchased a combination lock and set the code himself with a mnemonic device. He sequestered the lock in a file cabinet and placed it in the Division of Perceptual Studies. He reportedly told colleagues that after death, he would attempt to pass on the mnemonic device. Since Stevenson's death in February 2007, the lock has not been opened.”

If you come across any 6 year olds mysteriously talking about locks and codes...by all means, contact the University of Virginia.  :)   Wouldn't that be extraordinary?!
