Summary: Cosmic Cradle Really Rocks
Review: Cosmic Cradle is a stunning achievement, comprehensive in scope, and 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. An introductory overview brilliantly and concisely documents the historical depth and paradigm-shattering significance of communications between parents and babies before conception. The logical succession of chapters which follow artistically blend ancient and contemporary sources of authoritative personal reports and prove that the experiences of preconceptual communication is a universal human experience. This work of encyclopedic proportions is the rare fruit of thirty years of passionate and scholarly exploration of human consciousness, the neglected step-child of 20th century psychology. Elizabeth and Neil Carman have thrown open a golden door.

Summary: Editorial comments by co-author
Review: Cosmic Cradle presents the initial findings of a 10-year interdisciplinary research project on the soul's passage from heavenly worlds into the mother's womb. This breakthrough book offers a new holistic paradigm to explain pre-conception, the most mysterious phase of human life which occurs prior to biological conception. It blends ancient and modern pre-conception experiences to create a new synthesis - a bridge between 165 cultures and sacred traditions around the world. Two hundred inspiring stories are told by modern parents, gifted children, Near-Death Experiencers, Christian saints, Eastern saints, Tibetan lamas, ancient Greek philosophers, as well as indigenous peoples (Native American, Australian Aborigine, African, etc.). Insights shared in Cosmic Cradle include: 1. Souls seeking families - parents (ancient and modern) report meeting their children before conception. As an example, some parents communicate with the souls of their unborn children prior to conception via a dream, waking vision, or an intuitive insight. 2. Cosmologies - describe where our souls dwell prior to entering our mother's womb. 3. Cosmic Contracts - prescribe a person's future plan for their lifetime on Earth. 4. Gifted individuals - memories of 58 persons who recall planning earthly life (natural memories, not based on hypnosis). For instance, some individuals recall being in a heavenly world and looking down and choosing parents at the moment of biological conception. 5. Veils - cause most people to forget pre-earthly life while they sojourn on Earth. Insights presented in 750 pages are supported by 1100 footnotes for the 532 bibliographic references in 35 chapters. An index helps find material easily. The 165 illustrations add flavor to the enjoyable reading.

Summary: global mind transformer
Review: I feel priveleged to own this book. 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. Every once in a while a book comes out that obviously has originated from the depths of knowledge. It is thrown into the world as a stone which creates ripples in the duplication and imitation of other books by other authors. The Carmen's book is like a huge boulder dropped into the status quo. It will be thrilling to watch the waves which ensue!

Summary: Magnificently Impressive!
Review: I gave this book five fully earned stars because it is such a magnificently crafted exploration of claims that premortal spirits contract with birth parents, laying out life plans and even the infant's name. This impressively assembled book, reporting wide-eyed wonders world-wide, is thus a towering tribute to the robust wellness of human gullibility across our planet, there still being an obviously huge demand for the a-scientific thinking which this book so beautifully displays. It will have profound appeal to the irrational masses of wishful wonderers absent of knowledge of genuine psychology, devoid of knowledge of genuine genetics. One must sincerely admire the physical and mental stamina of authors capable of devoting so much time and meticulous attention to dorky detail of trivial tripe, reveling in the thick of thin things, celebrating the sin of sensibleness and exulting in our eternal appetite for abject absurdity.

Summary: We've all been in a Cosmic Cradle!
Review: Such a beautiful book Cosmic Cradle.So well researched with stories of communication with future children from around the world. Who would have thought that so many cultures would have similar expierences. Story after story will thrill you with such touching realization that you know somewhere deep in your Self to be true. This is not just a book about preconception communication,this is a book about the evolution of our very souls, from one lifetime to the next, and everything inbetween. It helps show us that our souls are immortal and we are just passing by in our human existence for our own evolution, and enlightenment. I would recommend this book for anyone,maybe a gift for your expecting wife, or a friend. Beautiful illustrations through out, and the volume of stories and content will overwhelm you.So many years must have been set aside to make this book and it truly shows in the depth and sincerity of the authors. What a great job they did I commend them for it and look forward for more books written by them. Truly a book worthy to be discussed on several major talk shows.
