Mount Parihaka: Reincarnation and Awareness: Account of a Spiritual Journey

“… this book is highly recommended as an introduction to a query in the spiritual realm and to discoveries in a dimension that remains inaccessible to most of us.”
Dr. Koenraad Elst for: In Flanders Fields

“Balvert makes a reasonable case for his claim that his reincarnation memories are authentic.”
Titus Rivas, MA, reincarnation investigator, in: Terugkeer, Merkawah, International Association for Near Death Studies.

“… a well-founded autobiographical account, very entertaining and pleasantly written.”
Marjan van Druenen for: Schrijverspunt

In Mount Parihaka, Geert-Jan invites the reader to accompany him on his journey of insights and peaks of consciousness, traveling through distant lands and cultures. Reincarnation memories regularly illuminate the path, some accessed during stays in ashrams of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (Osho) in India and Oregon. The importance of past life emerges and substantiates itself initially as an unconscious annoyance and ultimately, after struggling with barrages of memory, as a necessity. Geert-Jan's resulting investigation into previous incarnations brings dismay and an almost overwhelming challenge: to accept and integrate his past and present selves. While this path seems to lead to ‘spiritual enlightenment’, even this turns out to be quite different from the popular ideal.
