Henry ford discovered
reincarnation at 26. Amazing too.
In 1923, Ford's pastor, and head
of his sociology department, the Episcopal minister Samuel S.
Marquis, claimed that Ford believed, or "once believed" in
reincarnation.[59]
Though it is unclear whether or how long Ford kept such a belief,
the San Francisco
Examiner from August 26, 1928,
published a quote which described Ford's beliefs:
I adopted the theory of
Reincarnation when I was twenty six. Religion offered nothing to
the point. Even work could not give me complete satisfaction. Work
is futile if we cannot utilise the experience we collect in one
life in the next. When I discovered Reincarnation it was as if I
had found a universal plan I realised that there was a chance to
work out my ideas. Time was no longer limited. I was no longer a
slave to the hands of the clock. Genius is experience. Some seem to
think that it is a gift or talent, but it is the fruit of long
experience in many lives. Some are older souls than others, and so
they know more. The discovery of Reincarnation put my mind at ease.
If you preserve a record of this conversation, write it so that it
puts men’s minds at ease. I would like to communicate to others the
calmness that the long view of life gives to us. -Henry
Ford
