Overview

"Cosmic Cradle is such an enjoyable read and not just a dry esoteric or academic study. It is a beautifully crafted book with an almost universal appeal. Mothers will love it, fathers will be engrossed by it and grandparents will wonder at the cyclic patterns described by these young children."—Peter J. Morris, alternative blogger, writer, researcher “Cosmic Cradleis a must-read for everyone who has forgotten the life of their soul before birth. A penetrating and insightful inquiry into one of the greatest mysteries of existence—where we come from, who we are, why we are here, and why we forget.”—Joan Borysenko, PhD, author ofSeven Paths to GodandMinding the Body, Mending the Mind“Modern research into the nature of consciousness is revealing a consistent picture: consciousness is nonlocal or infinite in space and time. It is not confined to the brain, the body, or the present, as many have believed.Cosmic Cradleputs a human face on this research. This fascinating book will bring comfort to anyone concerned about our origins and destiny—and who isn’t?”—Larry Dossey, MD, author ofThe One Mind, Reinventing Medicine,andHealing Words“Cosmic Cradlegives me chills of recognition. This book is the truth. And I found it both an affirmation and huge inspiration.”—Christiane Northrup, MD, author ofThe Wisdom of MenopauseandWomen’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom“I love the concept ofCosmic Cradle.It relates most completely to the unequivocal reality of reincarnation, an essential understanding of life. Pre-birth memories and memories of previous incarnations continue to help us understand our complex Cosmos.”—C. Norman Shealy, MD, PhD, author ofEnergy Medicine“Cosmic Cradleis a stunning achievement, comprehensive in scope, spiritually illuminating! In one stroke the authors have succeeded in lifting out of obscurity a world literature—ignored during the recent era of scientific materialism—representing virtually all cultures and religions from ancient to contemporary times.… This work of encyclopedic proportions is the rare fruit of forty years of passionate and scholarly exploration of human consciousness, the neglectedstepchild of twentieth-century psychology. Elizabeth and Neil Carman have thrown open a golden door.”—David B. Chamberlain, PhD, author ofWindows to the Womb: Revealing the Conscious Baby from Conception to BirthandThe Mind of Your Newborn Baby“Cosmic Cradlegives us a wider lens through which to view the questions every child asks—where did I come from and how did I get here?Cosmic Cradleis fruitful reading for couples planning to have a child, for parents, and family life educators. Thank you Elizabeth and Neil Carman for compiling this tome!”—Jeannine Parvati Baker, coauthor ofConscious Conception: Elemental Journey through the Labyrinth of Sexualityand author ofHygieia: A Woman’s Herbal and Prenatal YogaandNatural Childbirth“An extraordinary research work, yielding a quasi-encyclopedic treasury of evidence for the soul’s preexistence.Cosmic Cradlemakes it clear that pre-birth communication has been known and recorded throughout history and across cultures worldwide.”—Elisabeth Hallett, author of Stories of the Unborn SoulandSoul Trek: Meeting Our Children on the Way to Birth“Occasionally one comes across an exceptional book. Thus isCosmic Cradle.Spanning the whole of recorded history up to contemporary times, Elizabeth and Neil Carman have collected and then shared with us the lesser-known mysteries surrounding conception, pregnancy, and birth. They have unveiled the soul in all its splendor and glory, and done so with meticulous care and irrefutable scholarship.”—P. M. H. Atwater, LhD, author ofChildren of the New MillenniumandThe Complete Idiot’s Guide to Near-Death Experiences“Cosmic Cradlepoints out that the individual must search for the fulfillment of his own truth and depend upon that for his illumination. Cosmic Cradle is marvelous, a rare privilege, a tremendous teaching.… It opened new vistas and new horizons. It is a work of illumination. Thank you for the great opportunity to expand my consciousness.”—Murshida Vera Justin Corda, PhD, founder of New Age Sufi Schools, author ofCradle in HeavenandHolistic Child Guidance“Cosmic Cradleoffers an extraordinary collection of stories shared by families who experienced pre-birth memories and communication from both the parent’s and the baby’s points of view. Their portrayals of the incarnation process from spirit to human realms are supported in thebook by the timeless understandings nearly every culture has had—that we are conscious spiritual beings coming into human life with purpose and design. We are at a tipping point in Western thought, moving from Newtonian views into a consciousness-based understanding of our corespiritual nature.Cosmic Cradleinspires us forward into the new, yet ancient wisdom of that core nature at the beginning of life.”—Wendy Anne McCarty, PhD, RN, author ofWelcoming Consciousness: Supporting Babies’ Wholeness from the Beginning of Life“Cosmic Cradleis a global mind transformer. Not only is it a masterpiece in how it is written with such clarity, interest, and organization, but the scope of its contents is pointedly destined to change our ideas about life. The evidence is stacked up too high in this book to dismiss its message of the soul’s immortality.”—Susan Herzberger, author ofOn Becoming Enlightened“Cosmic Cradleis an unique book with a soul-inspiring subject matter. This book has the potentiality of awakening consciousness and enriching the human relationships of millions.”—Swami Dharmananda, director of the International Vishwaguru Meditation and Yoga Institute, Ved Niketan Dham, Rishikesh, India“I was amazed at the breadth and depth of the information which this book contains. It elevated my understanding of the subject to an entirely new level, and revolutionized my ideas, not only about the consciousness level of the in-utero baby but the extent to which mother and child can communicate and interact.”—John W. Sloat, host of www.beyondreligion.com and author ofA Handbook for Heretics"Beauty, poetry, clarity: authentic convincing research."—Reverend Lucille M. Rosen, PhD, director of Healing Process Workshops, New York
