Comprehensive Reincarnation Theory (CRT)
Launched on August 22, 2026, Comprehensive Reincarnation Theory (CRT) is an ongoing research initiative being conducted by KM Wehrstein, President of the International Centre for Reincarnation Research (ICRR), with assistance from artificial intelligence. Drawing on a full review of the reincarnation research literature, CRT aims to develop a coherent, evidence-based explanation of reincarnation phenomena, including past-life memories, intermission (between lives) experiences, behavioural and physical continuities, and reincarnation choices. Its growing register of more than 370 hypotheses provides testable predictions, potential disconfirming evidence, and competing explanations, including non-reincarnation alternatives. Many hypotheses can potentially be tested using ICRR’s developing Published Reincarnation Cases Database (PRCDb), while others require new investigations. The purpose of CRT is to make reincarnation research more systematic, cumulative, and scientifically testable.
Published Reincarnation Cases Database (PRCDb)
ICRR is building the Published Reincarnation Cases Database (PRCDb): a comprehensive database of the datapoints from the roughly 500 reincarnation cases that have been published. In January 2025 ICRR-affiliated researchers were awarded a €50,000 grant for the project, which ICRR administers as the host organization.
