Is Jason the Horse truly a human disguised as a equine?
In an intriguing turn of events, a man named Jason Wentworth has made headlines by claiming to be a reincarnated horse. This belief, rooted in the concept of reincarnation found in various traditions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Sikhism, has led him to self-publish a book titled "What If You Are A Horse In Human Form?" as a guide for other equine souls trapped in human bodies.
Jason's unique perspective on the world has led him to feel a greater connection with horses than with typical human things like wealth or status. This affinity has been evident since his early years, with memories of his first encounter with a horse at the age of three, and the horses treating him as an equal. The connection deepened further when he saw a billboard with a photo of an English countryside at around the same age, triggering a flash of memories.
Jason's belief in his reincarnation is not just a mere claim; he believes he was reincarnated for a specific mission that his "horse ancestors" asked him to complete. This mission, as he explains, is to facilitate a closer connection and relationship between humans and horses, and to bring that relationship to a higher level.
To support his claim, Jason recounts a unique experience before his second interview on Coast to Coast AM, where he had a past life regression and found himself in Europe, walking up a steep hill as a work horse. During this regression, he fell down a hill and relived his death in that past life. After his death, he was guided by a man with a black beard and received an unspoken message to return to the horse world if he wished.
While documented cases and formal scientific studies specifically addressing individuals who claim to remember past lives as animals, particularly horses, are extremely rare, Jason's story has resonated with some. A review on Barnes and Noble from someone claiming to be a Friesian horse states that they have met many horses in human bodies over the years. The reviewer even claims that about 20% of horses have recognized Jason as a fellow horse and treated him accordingly.
However, it's important to note that the field of near-death studies does not directly address reincarnation, focusing instead on experiences during or after life-threatening events. Furthermore, most academic and clinical research on reincarnation is limited to human-to-human claims.
Despite the lack of widespread scientific validation, Jason's story serves as a thought-provoking exploration of the bond between humans and horses. It encourages us to consider the possibility that there may be many horses in human form if not many herds, and they are everywhere, as suggested by a reviewer on Barnes and Noble. Whether you believe in reincarnation or not, Jason's story invites us to reflect on our connections with the world around us and the creatures we share it with.
In light of this extraordinary tale, one might ponder how Jason Wentworth's unique lifestyle, centered around his deep-rooted connection with horses, stands in contrast to typical human preoccupations such as wealth or status. Furthermore, his mission to bridge the gap between humans and horses in relationships and entertainment could potentially shift pop-culture norms, as depicted by his influence on both equine and human communities.
