Swamis Endorse "Yogi Lincoln"
|
(Conspiracy Nation, 02/16/06)
-- Here we see two swamis, Paramhansa Yogananda and Swami Kriyananda.
Both endorse the claim that Abraham Lincoln, 16th U.S. president, had
been a yogi in the Himalayas during a previous incarnation!
The astonishing news is connected with the imminent release of
a new
book which reportedly demonstrates not only that Lincoln had been a
yogi "who died with a desire to help bring about racial equality," but
had also later reincarnated as Charles Lindbergh, the aviator. At the publisher's web site
further information on Soul
Journey: From Lincoln To Lindbergh, by Richard Silva, is
currently available. Conspiracy
Nation has covered aspects of The
Yogi Lincoln Case in a previous
report.
Reading through the publisher's (Crystar Press) web site,
further tantalizing tidbits are obtained:

Author Richard Silva had encountered the Yogi Lincoln claim in 1977.
Eventually, he began to dig into the matter. "I felt," writes Silva,
"that my own, extensive study and practice of the teachings of
Himalayan yogis would aid my search."
Presumably while doing yoga postures, Silva discovered, among other
things, that both Lincoln and Charles Lindbergh "had a deep, calm,
penetrating gaze." Their eyes even looked the same! From there, Silva
pushed forward to his amazing conclusions.
A similar "Eureka moment" occurred when the late author C.A. Tripp
extrapolated from Lincoln's "perfect thighs" the
extraordinary idea that "Old Abe" was a "closet queen."
Silva's intuitions of a Lindbergh-Lincoln connection apparently do
not take into account suspicions regarding the infamous 1932 kidnapping
of
the Lindbergh baby. Doubts surrounding Charles Lindbergh in this
matter have
been covered by Conspiracy Nation.
Lindbergh rejected the FBI's offer of assistance, but called in Morris
Rosner, a member of the
underworld, to help. Lindbergh was convinced that the kidnapping
had been the work of organized crime leaders. In an intriguing
parallel, notorious mobster Al Capone offered to
help find the kidnappers. At the character level, Charles Lindbergh
is not on par with Abraham Lincoln, thus undermining Silva's
"reincarnated
Lincoln" proposal.
Nonetheless, some reviewers of Soul Journey: From Lincoln To
Lindbergh are enthusiastic. “Here is a unique and delightfully
creative journey through history, human greatness, and yoga," exults
Gyandev McCord, author of Yoga
for Starters.
In the earthbound realm, evidence of a wider conspiracy behind the
1865 Lincoln assassination continues to emerge. Otto Eisenschiml
(1880-1963) had authored several books on the Civil War, focusing
especially on submerged aspects of the horrendous event. He had
theorized that the War Between The States had
been needlessly prolonged. There were traitors even within the
upper echelons of the Union itself, suggested Eisenschiml.
A reading of Ulysses S. Grant's Memoirs supports
Eisenschiml's theory. In the West, General Henry Halleck secretly
sabotaged Grant's reputation. When Grant was later promoted to top
Union general, he had to communicate with president Lincoln and
Northern generals through special channels. Secretary of War Edwin
Stanton controlled the encryption keys for telegraph messages and he
and his cohorts intercepted communiques. Wanting to get a message to
General Phil Sheridan, for example, Grant complains, "I knew it would
be impossible for me to get orders through Washington to Sheridan to
make a move, because they would be stopped there..." Again: "I now
ordered Sheridan to halt... But this order had to go through Washington
where it was intercepted."
