"Spinoza and Leibniz, born within a few years of each other, both recognized and wrote about man's immortality and the process of evolution through reincarnation. Concurrently, similar ideas held the attention of other great minds. Voltaire in France, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Paine in America, Kant, Herder and Lessing in Germany, Hume and Pope in England were all men of the eighteenth century, the age of enlightenment and the predominance of rationalism. They all believed in the notion of rebirth. Voltaire wrote: "The doctrine of metempsychosis is, above all, neither absurd nor useless...It is not more surprising to be born twice than once; everything in nature is resurrection." According to Benjamin Creme, Benjamin Franklin is currently in incarnation, living in Washington DC.
