Digital Strategist, AI Architect, Reincarnation Research Designer

Reincarnation research is inherently interdisciplinary, requiring not just case collection but the rigorous organization, synthesis, and presentation of complex information across methods and mediums.

Chuck volunteer work focuses on:

  • the ethical use of technology to catalog and contextualize case material
  • tools to support evidentiary research, including AI-assisted synthesis and classification
  • design of user experiences that allow both newcomers and experienced researchers to traverse the field effectively

Rather than serving as belief advocacy, this domain exists to ensure that complex data, narrative, and insight are aligned for accessibility, clarity, and long-term preservation.


About Chuck McMurray

Chuck McMurray brings professional expertise in digital technologies, AI systems design, and human-centered web architecture to the Reignite research community. His experience spans practical AI applications, UX design, data integration, and content systems that support complex research workflows.

Within Reignite, Chuck leads the development of digital platforms that enable:

  • case indexing linked by topic and evidence type
  • cross-referenced repositories for subjective and objective inputs
  • tools for researchers, experiencers, and contributors to connect insights into patterns

His work enables the research mission to scale without sacrificing methodological integrity or usability — bridging traditional research with modern digital infrastructure.


John Harrison Case: A Research Example

2018 Case Image – First Facial Match (John Harrison and Chuck McMurray)

One of the foundational projects in Chuck’s body of work is his own past life regression case study, which has also served as a prototype for how reincarnation research can be structured, validated, and presented.

In this study, Chuck documented his experience of past life regression that led to the hypothesis that he was the 18th-century British clockmaker John Harrison — famed for inventing the marine chronometer, a breakthrough in navigational accuracy.

This work unfolded in stages:

  • Initial regression experience in 2016 that produced vivid imagery and contextual data
  • Subsequent research into historical records and architectural memory cues
  • A session with trance medium Kevin Ryerson in 2019, where mediumship input affirmed the identity narrative with corroborative personal relational data (including father-son continuity)

This case is openly published as a research precedent, offering both transparency in method and a model for how detailed documentation and cross-validated inquiry can serve scholarly curiosity and personal exploration alike. Reincarnation Research


How This Work Supports Reignite’s Mission

Chuck’s work in this area supports the larger research ecosystem by:

  • Digital Archiving: ensuring that case narratives, supporting media, and analytical frameworks are preserved and accessible
  • Metadata & Categorization: building structures so that reincarnation research is searchable by theme, evidence type, culture, and methodology
  • AI-Assisted Synthesis: developing frameworks where machine assistance can help identify patterns without leading conclusions prematurely
  • Evidentiary Web Design: creating pathways for contributors and visitors to compare, contrast, and explore material without conflation or confusion

This domain exists to amplify research capacity without biasing interpretation or bypassing human expertise.


Engagement & Collaboration

While not a counseling service per se, this area of expertise offers:

  • guidance for researchers on structuring investigations
  • advice on using research tools and platforms
  • consultation on how to document and share case material effectively
