Жили ли вы в прошлых жизнях?

1958 book by L. Ron Hubbard

Have You Lived Before This Life? is a Scientology book about past lives by L. Ron Hubbard published in 1958 by the Hubbard Association of Scientologists International. The book is considered part of Scientology's canon.

The book was Hubbard's response to the success of the Bridey Murphy phenomenon in the UK. Hubbard saw this as an opportunity to increase public interest in past life regression. Have You Lived Before This Life? purports to be a collection of forty one actual case histories of reincarnation and past life experiences, gleaned from auditing with an e meter at the Church of Scientology's "Fifth London Advanced Clinical Course" held in October November 1958. Some of the stories took place on other worlds or in the extremely distant past. The book was based on an earlier privately printed softcover circulation made available to Scientology students who attended that course. Scientology's official website says of the book: "The major portion of the book is devoted to the auditing case histories of individuals, detailing their memories of past lives. These case histories graphically show how a person’s attitudes and actions in present time can be affected by incidents in his or her past lifetimes. They also document the improvements that occurred when such incidents were addressed and run out in auditing."

According to Cooper, Hubbard announced a sequel called Where Were You Buried? was in the works. He instructed his auditors to check all preclears for recent deaths, and then to physically locate their place of burial.
