Im reading life between lives right now. I love how people decribe the after life. Michael Newton is a hypno therapist and he regresses people back to past lives and to life while they are in the spriit world. His books are very interesting.

Greetings, Friend!

Dr. Newton's important work has been the subject of several threads here at Avalon. Here's one from the archives:

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...Michael+Newton


For those who are just beginning to familiarize themselves with this topic, here's a brief summary:

The Spirit World

Our physical universe appears to coexist with other physical and mental dimensions. These alternative dimensions of consciousness may be layered within our own physical space, parallel to our space, or linked by unknown designs around our dimensions.

Contained within our universe are energy waves that appear to be guided both by design and wisdom from a higher consciousness. Our dimension is inhabited by the vibrational energy of immortal beings we call Souls who evolve by gaining knowledge and acquiring wisdom.

Souls exist multi-dimensionally, both within and beyond linear time and space. The natural domain of Souls who come to earth is the non-physical dimension that we call the "spirit world" where Souls go between their incarnations. The spirit world is a place of love, kindness and compassion as well as one of order, planning and direction. It is possible that a higher space of perfection (beyond the spirit world) may exist which is not accessible to Souls still incarnating in the human body.

Our human reality is a three-dimensional material universe that includes movement and, therefore, a passage of time with the aging of all things physical. Time exists as an expression of change. However, in the spirit world Souls exist in a Now time, which is not on one timeline and is not absolute.

The spirit world is characterized by the forces of creative energy, universal thought, and support for spiritual enlightenment designed for the apparent purpose of training and growth in all Souls' evolution toward perfection. At the same time the spirit world offers a space of quiet contemplation and reflection between lives.

The human body and physical brain contain the spiritual mind of an immortal Soul. Conscious thought consists of ideas generated by the human and Soul mind in association with each other. Indications are that unconscious intuition, insight and conscience are influences of the Soul.

Each Soul is part of a decision-making process in choosing a body for the next life to experience certain karmic lessons as an outgrowth of former lives. All information and experiences accrued through human bodies is retained by the Soul. The reservoir of these Soul memories and accumulated wisdom derived from experience is referred to as the Superconscious mind.

The Soul's prior history is retained in higher consciousness, the Superconscious mind, and may be released into human consciousness through various means, one of which is hypnotic regression. However, pre-existing amnesia may be a partial or complete blocking agent for some which may limit recovery of past life and between life information.

While Soul memory may be hidden from the level of conscious awareness, thought patterns of the Soul influencing the human brain may induce motivations for certain actions. We do not know the degree to which human choices or actions are influenced by the Soul since this variable is different with each person.

Reincarnation, or the transmigration of the Soul, is designed to advance Soul development through the choice of a specific body that will be involved in certain timeline events. This choice is governed by the special needs of the Soul to advance from lower to higher levels of learning based upon performance and desire, as well as karmic issues from former lives.

During physical incarnations on earth various possibilities and probabilities arising from karmic influences and Soul contracts are subject to the free will of the Soul. Thus, humans are not bound to a predetermined existence.

The meaning behind the existence of each individual has been planned in advance to allow all Souls to come into their physical incarnations with a purpose. Goals are originated, in part, by karmic patterns from former lives and, in part, by specific lessons relating to the ambitions of that Soul. These objectives are established in concert with a Soul's spiritual peers, personal guide(s) and a Council of enlightened spiritual Elders.

A new age of spiritual enlightenment has ushered in a period of human history where, with increasing frequency, people are seeking different approaches to exposing their immortal minds. A significant catalyst in this process is Life Between Lives Spiritual Regression utilizing hypnosis.

The Soul: based on the descriptions of Life Between Lives clients


The soul can not be defined because it has no limits that are perceived about its creation. The most consistent reports of its demonstrated essence is that the soul represents intelligent energy which is immortal and manifested by vibrational waves of light and color.

All human beings have one soul that remains attached to its chosen physical body until death. Souls play a part in the selection of their next physical body during their reincarnation cycles. The soul typically joins its physical body after conception between the fourth month and birth.

Each soul has a unique immortal character. When joined with the human brain this character is melded with the emotional temperament, or human ego, of that brain to produce one personality for one lifetime.

Souls reincarnate with human beings for countless lifetimes to advance through levels of development by addressing karmic tasks from former lifetimes. Souls grow in knowledge and wisdom through this learning process while pondering their thoughts and deeds in past lives with peers under the direction of teachers.

At the moment of physical death the soul returns to the spirit world, the source of its creation. Since part of a soul's energy essence has never left the spirit world during incarnation, the returning soul rejoins with that essence of itself. This, spiritual learning never ceases for the soul. The spirit world also offers souls the opportunity for rest and reflection between lives.

Souls appear to be members of specific spirit cluster groups to whom they have been assigned since their creation. The teachers of each group are the personal spirit guides of members of that group. Members of these groups reincarnate with the soul and assume meaningful roles during a soul's life on earth.

Rather than being defined as a place of ultimate non-action, or Nirvana, the spirit world appears to be a space of soul transition into higher forms of energy with capabilities for creation with advancement. The spirit world has an area of influence which is undefined except that it includes our universe and nearby dimensions.

No earthly religious deities are seen in the spirit world by returning souls. A soul's closest connection with the divine is with their personal spirit guide and members of a council of benevolent counselors who monitor the affairs of each soul. Souls from earth feel and sense the presence of a God-like Oversoul or Source emanating from above their counselors. The spirit world is composed of highly advanced non-reincarnating soul specialists who regulate the work of advancement for the souls in their care.

When incarnating souls develop to a high level of experience, performance and wisdom they will cease to incarnate and become advanced beings themselves who assist the still-incarnating souls.

The ultimate goal of all souls appears to be the desire to seek perfection and conjoin with the Source that created them.

As wonderful as Newton's revelations may be, there is an even more direct way to explore the realms that Newton's patients refer to, and that's the subject of a recent thread here:

https://projectavalon.net/forum4/show...eyond-the-Body


:yo:

fascinating books but limited in scope due to the focus on souls inbetween human lives on earth only. dolores cannon's convoluted universe books go one step further and imo should be read after michael newton's books. also recommended are the books by robert monroe to get an idea of how souls come to earth and get entangled here in the first place.

Along with Michaels Newton's Journey of Souls, I read Many Lives, Many Masters by Dr. Brian Weiss . Enjoyed both.
The first pebbles tossed at my perceived quiet pond of equilibrium.
Whether one sees the information as limited in scope or takes it all on board is the personal journey. They did rattle my cage and therefor am grateful.

When I began to wake up three years ago, the first thing I did was I bought Michael Newton's "Journey of Souls". I certainly didn't believe in reincarnation back then, but that book changed my whole life. I don't know why even bought that book? Maybe someone recommended it and I was curious. After that my spiritual awakening started to take big leaps, because I started to remember that what all of this was about. I'm not sure if Michael ever heard about Dolores Cannon, I started to listen her stuff last year. She and Michael are pioneers on this kind of healing.

I was so moved, so drawn-in by the material that I arranged for one of the Life Between Lives hypnotherapists (who happened to be a chapter author in the 3rd Newton book) to facilitate the experience for me.

Unfortunately, I was not able to be hypnotized.

Very important information in those books - it all resounded as true to me. I'd also say that the other books and teachers/practitioners mentioned in this thread are excellent resources to expand on the material in the Newton books.

Hi all,

Just stumbled across this interview with Michael Newton. Found it very interesting as i am currently reading his book "journey of souls".

Michael Newton is a hypnotherapist who discovered that people under hypnosis can describe not only their past lives, but their life BETWEEN lives, in the spirit world, in incredible detail.
I highly recommend Journey of Souls and the sequel Destiny of Souls for a deeper understanding of the concepts presented in this interview.

Hope you all enjoy - have a good day - :)

I read his books back to back and immediately found a therapist trained in his methods......great books! Thanks for posting this interview

Anytime Earth Angel :) i too would love to have a past life regression session, after i have read both of his books, i am going to start looking :)

Delightfully and clearly presented. Thanks for sharing.

thank you so much....a most interesting and thought provocative video.

Resonates well with this human being.

I'll definitely read the book as well....thanks again

I also recommend Ian Lawtons Big Book of the Soul if you liked Newtons books. Both are similar and great reads!

http://www.amazon.com/The-Big-Book-S.../dp/0954917634

Also Wisdom of the Soul by Lawton is good as well.

Journey of Souls changed my perspective and explained so many things. I sincerely recommend these, resonates 100 times more than any holy book. If I would be able to read only two books ever, first would be Tolle's Power of Now and second would be Journey of Souls.

I found this "Journey of Souls" book at just the right time for me to actually appreciate it. If I would have read it years earlier than I did, I would have thought it was fodder for the gullible make-believers.

Even so, I was skeptical going into it, even though I already believed in reincarnation....or what the Buddhists would call rebirth. When I read it, my step-dad was dying of esophageal cancer in 2010. I had just read a book by Craig Hamilton Parker (a psychic) that was called "What To Do When You Are Dead: Better Living In The Afterlife", which I actually still like quite a lot.

Then I read a bunch of classic Spiritualist e-books, none of which really supported reincarnation, but I found a few real gems. Then I read a book by Victor Zammit (which you can find on his website for free: http://www.victorzammit.com/book.pdf ) Then I read "The Law of One" books, discovered Alex Collier's 1994 interview and his book "Defending Sacred Ground", read Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls and then a book called "I Am The Word" by Paul Selig (which I still am not sure if that one is kosher, but I had some amazing experiences reading it.)

Oh yeah, and the whole time I was studying all this stuff, I was watching episodes of "Psychic Kids: Children of the Paranormal" on youtube whenever I wasn't reading, which is a fascination and an indulgence of mine. All of this over the course of a few months. Then my step-dad was nearing death, and I had the opportunity to share a lot of what I was learning with him before he did, which brought him great comfort and thankfully he went relatively peacefully in a way that was quite beautiful and inspiring. It was a strange period of my life. It changed completely how I look at "death". I feel like maybe I should have a bachelor's degreee in parapsychology just for those few months of reading I did. ;)

Great video! Thanks much for posting. I went to Michael Newton's website and found all sorts of useful information, including links to therapists from all over the world (see below).

thanks for sharing!!! listening to the video right now :)

I would love to hear some testimony from folks who have undergone the hypnosis technique he talks about.
It would help to seal the deal on my appreciation of his work.
I hate to say it but as good as the material is, I always have my suspicions in so far as what people will do for fame and money.

I have participated in two weekend workshops to explore past lives through hypnosis. We did not look at time in the spirit world between lives. However, we did remember the death in that life. What I remember was that, for me, if the death was very traumatic, these beings of light came to fetch me and embraced me with unconditional love and caring. There were about four or five of them, and they were always the same beings. I couldn't really make out features as they radiated a lot of light. I think these beings are my soul group.

In one lifetime I had a very happy death. I lingered to comfort my daughter, who was with me when I died, and then reunited with my husband, which was very joyous.

I never recalled an experience of a tunnel.

Recalling past lives was very interesting in what I discovered about my soul journey through lifetimes. It was also interesting doing this in a small group (although I have done hypnosis as a single person). I remember that after one session the energy in the room was a bit disturbed, jarring. As we went round the room and shared, we realised that we had all recalled a past lifetime with our mothers in this lifetime, even though we had not been instructed to do so!

I would recommend that you prepare yourself for hypnosis by doing guided visualisations. You remain consciously aware during hypnosis but you need to let that conscious awareness become an observer. Meditation and guided visualisations are good practice for this.

In my individual hypnosis sessions I learnt that no one can make you do or remember what you do not want to (in fact, the therapist told me that strong-willed people with some skepticism are the best subjects as they are unlikely to make stuff up - the more suggestible you are, the more you are prone to hold blind beliefs fanatically and without questioning, the more likely you are to make stuff up when hypnotised, so you sound like a good subject for hypnosis and I suggest that you trust that and surrender to the experience). In the sessions I had, I always found myself in a place with water (a lake or a stream) and in every session, at some point, I would 'rebel' and go swimming, and the therapist could no longer work with me as I would not want to answer questions or explore further!

I hope you do the sessions and share them with us.

Would like to here too. What are the benefits if there are any, aside from knowing fast life?

Other than satisfying natural curiosity, for me a benefit of recalling past lifetimes was being able to understand bad choices I had made in my life and being able to forgive myself for them.

:bump:

This was too good, check out the video in the OP if you have not already.

Thanks markenty!!
