Conestoga College offers reincarnation course
 2009/11/23
By Lisa Bucher  
   
Do you have a fear with no logical present life explanation? Or maybe you wonder why bad things happen to good people?

Perhaps your present life struggles can be explained by exploring your past lives in Reincarnation – Who Where You?, a one-day course offered by Conestoga College’s continuing education on Nov. 28 from 10 a.m to 4 p.m.

The course is taught by Canada’s top radio psychic Dan Valkos, who has been teaching at the college for around 19 years.

Valkos said he went through an evolutionary process when he got involved with the field of paranormal in 1969 as a skeptic. He is now a firm believer that everyone has unlimited psychic potential, it’s just a matter of tapping into those abilities.

The workshop spends half the day discussing the theories behind karma and reincarnation and the other half Valkos uses regressive hypnosis, a sort of meditation, to have the students remember three of their past lives.

“In my most recent past life,” said Valkos, “I was a lieutenant in the British Army. I was on an island in the South Pacific and I was machine gunned by the Japanese. I was (also) a black slave in the pre-U.S. Civil War. I died in the swamps by snake bite and I was (also) a prairie farmer’s wife, like in Little House on the Prairie, although I didn’t have a husband as good looking as Michael Landon.”

So why do bad things happen to good people? Valkos says sometimes it’s because you’re paying off a karmatic debt from another lifetime, a topic he will discuss in his course.

As for fears, sometimes if there is no logical present life explanation the fear could be traced back to how you died in a past life. If you have a fear of water perhaps you drowned or if you are terrified of fire you may have been burnt at the stake.

“You are now the sum total of everything you have seen, felt and experienced in all of your prior lifetimes,” said Valkos.

For more information on the course, which costs $80, call the Conestoga College continuing education general interest and leisure department at 519-748-5220, ext. 2200. You can register through continuing education online through the student portal, in person at the Doon campus’s Registrar’s Office during regular business hours, by mail or by fax — 519-895-1085.

Registration forms can also be put in drop boxes located at the Waterloo campus, 108 University Ave. E, at the Guelph campus, 460 Speedvale Ave. W., and at the Doon campus at the Student/Client Services Building.
