About My Offerings
“The topic of reincarnation is not fashionable in Western science, even though this belief -- in one form or another -- is held by the majority of the world's population. Paul Von Ward's provocative book is an attempt to bring this topic into scientific discourse by proposing a mechanism that embodies a person's experiences in a manner that transcends space and time, and suggests experiments that could put it to the test. Some readers will be infuriated by Von Ward's hypothesis, others will find the case histories intriguing, and still others will find that this book resolves long-standing puzzles about their own lives. The Soul Genome will be applauded and it will be reviled, but -- in the meantime -- it will never be found boring.”Psychologist and professor at Saybrook Institute

My Background
“Paul Von Ward offers us a profound hypothesis to understand reincarnation, based on a new definition of ‘soul’. As in all his works, he combines scientific method with brilliant intuition to open our minds to our own potential as the holders of the code of life-ever-evolving. This book is a vital contribution to this great quest to understand conscious evolution.”Futurist and founder of the Foundation for Conscious Evolution
As a cosmologist, Paul combines philosophy, the physical and natural sciences, psychology, and prehistory. He writes the "emerging new story" of the universe and its Homo sapiens. In the role of The Puzzle Master he seeks to fill the blanks in our knowledge of the "crossword puzzle of the cosmos".
Paul has focused on the human psychological reaction to perceived interventions from more advanced beings or other dimensions of consciousness, rediscovering humanity's natural spiritual path based in traditional wisdom and natural science.
Paul's received degrees from Harvard University (MPA in 1974) and Florida State University (MS in 1962), from which he also received his BA (Phi Beta Kappa) in 1961. From 1962 to 1965, he served in the U.S. Navy as a line officer. As a State Department Foreign Service Officer from 1965 until 1980, he served in diplomatic posts in France, Martinique, Sierra Leone, and the Dominican Republic. He also served in policy and management positions in Washington, DC. Paul founded the Washington-based nonprofit Delphi International (CEO from1980-1995) to provide cross-cultural exchanges, professional training, and overseas development.
He traveled professionally to one hundred countries for the State Department and Delphi. His professional languages are Spanish and French. Paul trained in clinical psychology and started his professional career as a Protestant minister. He then devoted thirty years to public service as naval officer, diplomat, and nonprofit leader. He has published four major books.
