We all know more than we realize when it comes to past lives, says the author, who has regressed hundreds of people. Now she has distilled what she has learned about signposts that point to our past lives, into this fascinating, easy-to-use guidebook for identifying those clues and understanding their meanings. From dream memories to our likes and dislikes to past-life regressions, the author shows us how to piece together the big picture of who we may have been- and what it means in our lives today.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is an awesome book, January 15, 2000

I loved this book. I am a film producer and have always had such strong feelings about people and places that I feel like I have known before. This book put these feelings into words and laced so many things together for me.

I have been studying new age material since 1986 and it is wonderful for this information to be so readily available now. This is a must read for anyone who wants to know more about their present by exploring their past.

Thanks Barbara Lane for helping me to put the pieces together!

That should be the title of Barbara Lane's book. I can't tell if she is trying to write reincarnation commedy or just a guide for idiots.

She starts off the book by telling us how she went to a bar to ask drunk people who they thought Howard Stern could have been in a past life. (Because, she claimed, drunk people would have fun with it rather than wonder if they believed in reincarnation or not.) She takes herself lightly enough to use this style occasionally. At other times she takes herself really seriously ("proving" who Bill and Hilary and Monica were in Sixteenth Century England.)

As for my second theory that this is the reincarnation guide for idiots, she tells us that if we are obsessed with the Civil War and spend vacations acting out battle scenes, we were probably involved. Well, what can you say to that?? DUH--to use the most basic syllable I can think of.

If you enjoy reading about reincarnation (which I do), read all of Brian Weiss' books, starting with Many Lives, Many Masters. Don't waste your money or insult your intellect here. As for those dying to know who Howard Stern actually was, the answer is a member of a HAREM.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, Truth is Stranger than Fiction. . ., January 20, 2000

Congratulations to Ms. Lane, on her best book yet! Though her previous two books showed impressive research and documentation, "16 Clues" introduces a more human element with humorous illustrations and fascinating stories. I found her comparison of "Bill and Hillary" to King Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon intriguing, with fascinating parallels. It gives new meaning to our complex, and sometimes "illicit" relationships. Yes, truth is stranger than fiction. . .A great read!
