Reincarnation, the belief that we live more than one life, has appeared across cultures and centuries, from ancient philosophy to modern spiritual movements. But what does it mean for our understanding of consciousness and identity?

In this talk, writer and historian Gary Lachman will explore reincarnation through the lens of Western esoteric traditions. Drawing on his work on Rudolf Steiner, the evolution of consciousness, and imaginative knowledge, Lachman considers how the idea of rebirth fits into a wider search for meaning beyond the material. This is not a theological lecture but a thoughtful look at how reincarnation has shaped our thinking about the self, memory and the soul.

Gary Lachman is the author of several books about consciousness, culture, and the Western esoteric tradition, including Dreaming Ahead of Time, The Return of Holy Russia, Dark Star Rising: Magick and Power in the Age of Trump, Lost Knowledge of the Imagination, Beyond the Robot: The Life and Work of Colin Wilson, and, most recently, Maurice Nicoll: Forgotten Teacher of the Fourth Way. He has written biographies of C G Jung, Madame Blavatsky, Rudolf Steiner, Emanuel Swedenborg, P D Ouspensky, and Aleister Crowley. His work has been translated into more than a dozen languages. In a former life he was a founding member of the pop group Blondie and in 2006 was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He is an adjunct professor of Transformative Studies at the California Institute of Integral Studies.

    As a London Month of the Dead regular, I was chuffed to have an event around Christmas. The performance was fantastic and the atmosphere was perfect!

    We were a little disappointed that we were unable to hear Casting the Runes. The other stories were fun though, especially the Judge’s House. How could it go wrong with Bram Stocker in charge!
