Teachings from the published works of Britain’s bestselling spiritual author, Stephen O’Brien
Coral Polge, probably the world’s most famous psychic artist of the 20th-century, passed into the Spirit World on 29th April 2001, in England. She believed that her mediumship demonstrated the existence of rebirth.
Coral’s sketched portraits of so-called ‘dead’ people, when compared to photographs of them that were taken in life, are quite startling, as featured in her book Living Images, in which her psychic drawings are brilliantly verified by corresponding family snapshots.
For over fifty years, Coral’s mediumship was tested worldwide. She drew pictures for total strangers from nearly every country you can think of, and several of her sketches seemed to confirm that reincarnation takes place. Here’s Coral Polge speaking about Life Before Life:
As a psychic artist my work has been mainly concerned with the portrayal of people who have departed from their earthly bodies and are now returning to greet their loved ones who are still confined in this material existence.
But what of those souls who are now seeking to return to the Earth, not just in a portrait but in a new body? Are they looking around for a suitable family to incarnate into, visualising what they may look like, planning a life-pattern to tackle?
A number of drawings have convinced me that souls do choose their future parents, and sometimes they do so a long while ahead.
My first experience of drawing a before-life personality happened many years ago, but it was a considerable time before the recipient discovered what I had done. The picture was of a small
boy with very large blue eyes and a quiff of reddish hair. Confident that he was part of her family, I was surprised to find that the picture meant nothing to my sitter and that no one in her family had red hair.
Many years later we met again and she told the strange outcome to this story. Something like ten years after receiving the portrait, she was informed by a young spirit that he was coming to be her new baby; something that she had no plans for at the time, her existing children all being in their teens, and she was in her late thirties. But he was already on the way, she discovered . . . and who did he turn out to be, but the little redhead I had drawn so long ago.
My pre-birth pictures convince me that we each choose our particular life, hard though it may be to understand.
