I don't know about the rest of you but ever since I can remember I always thought to myself that upon death the journey does not end. Even as a child I thought like this and I never knew why until I read a book called Many Lives Many Masters by Brian Wiess (highly recommend).
I hope this interview sheds some light into the subject for those who have doubts. Enjoy :)
Part 1
Hi NeoEmc2,
I highly recommend Michael's books - 'journey of souls' and 'destiny of souls'.
They are the best and most indepth books I have ever read on the subject on life after physical death.
NeoE MC2,
I'd seen this interview before and loved it...thanks for posting these clips, they're amazing

I truly enjoyed watching this fascinating interview and I highly recommend it.
"When Dr. Michael Newton, a certified Master Hypnotherapist, began regressing his clients back in time to access their memories of former lives, he stumbled onto a discovery of enormous proportions: that it is possible to see into the spirit world through the mind's eye of subjects who are in a hypnotized or superconscious state; and that clients in this altered state were able to tell him what their soul was doing between lives on Earth. His book, Journey of Souls, presents ten years of his research and insights to help people understand the purpose behind their life choices, and how and why our soul - and the souls of those we love - lives eternally. His follow-up book, Destiny of Souls, is highly recommended as well. In May of 2004, Dr. Newton's new book entitled Life Between Lives: Hypnotherapy for Spiritual Regression was released. Dr. Newton is also the founder of The Society for Spiritual Regression."

If you read the (first two) books, you find out that he states the kind of things that serious researchers want to hear. An important one is that he states he made no leading questions or expressed thoughts of such a nature when attempting to get people to regurgitate their inner experiences. Have I read Dolores Cannon's 'convoluted universe' series? Yes, one of them is on the floor by my chair, right now. The two research works correlate fairly well. Read both (authors) and see what you come up with.
I guess I'm a bit surprised that this topic seems to have received so little attention. This (the reality of reincarnation, and the main reason we are all here) was an astounding revelation to me.
I studied various religions, and the concepts of Buddhism resounded the most with me. Reincarnation was the only thing about Buddhism, for me, that I didn't accept. This is one of those truths hidden in plain sight. Many mystics throughout the years (evidently) entered a state of heightened awareness where they came face-to-face with the reality of reincarnation, probably by remembering past lives. I have read that there were writings about reincarnation in the early biblical texts, but that they were purged by one of the early popes. I could not find historically verifiable data to back that up, but if true, would make the catholic church guilty of perpetrating one of the greatest conspiracies - purposely leaving out that information, presumably to better control their flock.
In Dr. Michael Newton's books, Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls, we get information gleaned from over 7,000 cases of deeply hypnotized people remembering their past lives, and much more importantly, remembering their time between incarnations. Talk about esoteric knowledge! If anyone has not read those books, I cannot recommend them highly enough.
I know that Bill Ryan speaks of us all actually being immortal spirits that temporarily inhabit human bodies. Hey Bill, may I ask where you got the information? And others that know that we are spirits and that we reincarnate, how did you find out? (I'm guessing that since this topic has received little attention, that Avalon Project members either found out another way, found out through Dr. Newton's books and simply haven't posted here, or have paid no attention to this subject.) Has anyone here gone through a Life Between Lives hypnotherapy session?

Many readers here are already familiar with the ground-breaking work of Michael Newton and his Institute. For those who are not, here is a synopsis of information gleaned from his clients (over nearly 3 decades) while under hypnotic regression, regarding Life After Life (link at bottom):
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.
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.

I haven't been able to shake off what was expounded in this work. Truly a remarkable read.
Adding different soul groups: geographic areas, races, planet, star system, galaxy, You have the soul map with many collective bubbles. Most Earthlings are bound to stay in Earth's collective bubble. ET souls who come from other star systems or planets probably will return or be helped by their people.Quote:

That's really interesting, and feels pretty accurate. So it was anecdotal and generalized to some degree I'm guessing? I didn't check out the institute.
All of the individuals that I've worked with in Spirit seemed to have retained at least aspects of a former human identity. Whether that was a convenience for them, or for my sake.
Most of the work was with people who hadn't yet recognized that they were deceased, and had to be helped to accept it so that they could see whoever was there to meet them.
It's really as simple as that you can't see what's above you, if you're looking down. There were some confronting and sometimes really hilarious conversations.
On a few occasions individuals returned to update us on how they were doing, or just to say hello.
One young girl came back to report to me on a suggestion I'd made to her. That she come back and spend time with her father, who was in prison for murdering her and her mother. She was lost in grief and incomprehension.
She'd been trying to wake up her dead mother for God knows how long, not realizing they'd both been killed. Yet her mother was there present to take the girl with her. The visual was of her mother standing at the top of a dark staircase waiting, silhouetted in a bright doorway. That's not a fact, it's only the image that I saw.
I explained to her that her father was sick and that she could help heal him if she'd go to him sometimes and spent time with him 'in the hospital'. And so she did, and had a very articulate story to tell. The lovely way a child would tell it..
Confirmation like that was really helpful in that work.
And because I hate the thought that I might be giving bad advise.
What was significant to me was that she was so naturally still just a little girl and associating however she could with everyone she loved still in form.
I really always had the sense that transition was such a natural and normal process, that what would appear to us as phenomenal is no more difficult or even different than arriving in a new city and learning to get around in it.
At least we'd speak the language.
Newton's books are pure gold. Thanks to him I started to awaken much faster a few years ago.
I read all of his books back to back last year and immediately found someone who had been trained by his methods to do a PLR.......I felt the whole time that I was making it up.......the therapist said I did a great job but I still couldn't get over the idea that I was just making it all up......where it came from I have no idea......I did not get any off planet lives or anything like that......loved the books just wasn't thrilled with my own experience.
Ive never read 'Newton' however this is what has always resonated for me in its totality x
Thanks Another Bob, great Tread, very interesting!
I had many years ago, the opportunity to be guided in a past life regression, Oh!, what an experience!, that I still, today, think that my imagination had run a trick on me. But now, I start to doubt my rationale on this!
I will have to buy Michael books to be enlightened on this subject.
All the best to you.

Finally that science is catching the pace with what God told everybody by various sources through histories of universe.
Christ aim was to awaken us to our real purpose, re-uniting with God-Source. Being fully human and fully God.
All in one ,one in all.
Thanks for bringing this subject up another bob. I read both of Michael Newton's books after hearing an interview of him by Kerry Cassidy.
Great post Another Bob! This is in total alignment with the best I have ever learned and experienced.
Michael Newton is now a retired Hypnotherapist with over 40 years of experience with inducing hypnosis within clients for behavioral adjustments to regressions in age. The last 20 or more years were spent taking people's minds through past life regression and then to the spiritual place of healing, contracting for new incarnations and meeting with spiritual team members (family or work groups) and thus the souls of those venturing forth as reported by Newton get to review their purpose for incarnating on earth this time. Books Newton has written are available on most ebook providers on the internet, and one is for the already certified hypnotherapist to learn of Newton;s techniques, which can be supplemented by their own experiences already used in their practices.
This seems to be a beneficial experience as many are starting to realize an uneasiness about their demeanors since the mid 2000-2010 time frame.
These books are also translated into many foreign languages. The initials (LBL)designate his Life Between Lives dialogues with people.

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.
Michael's books make a great addition to the tapestry. A piece here, a piece there. Pretty soon you start to see more of the picture.
Taken by themselves, they are definitely fascinating, but there are a few places in his books where I'll be saying to myself, "Well, that other chapter I buy, but I call B.S. on this stuff here..."
It's not until you go and find other puzzle pieces and chew 'em up that you find yourself thinking back on the stuff you thought was B.S. and saying, "Hmm. Okay, I think I see how or why this person had this to say while they were under hypnosis, and what might be going on there..." But make sure you add texture to Newton's info by soaking up lots of other subjects too. Like some Edgar Cayce, some near-death experience researchers, some Robert Monroe, some good E.T. books, flip through different religious texts from across the board, maybe sprinkle in some writings from some great Shamans, some research into reincarnation and karmic justice, and of course, keep an eye on Project Avalon. :-)
There is truth all over. Be hungry for it, always question, always wonder. Who are we? What are we? What is it about the human experience on Earth that other races revere?
My main problem these days is the internet. At first, it was the greatest thing to happen to a seeker, because we just follow our mice and find out all kinds of great things. But lately it's getting harder and harder to avoid deception. That can be disheartening.
Incidentally, did you see the part in one of Newton's sessions where the person under hypnosis stated that there will be a lot fewer people on the planet in the near future? That's one of the things I've read that jives with Bill Ryan's Ultimate Hypothesis thread about the possibility of some large scale disaster that could hit us. Like that Knowing movie that Nicolas Cage did.
It's worrisome, but the knowledge you gain from books just like Newton's make it not so intimidating of an event. Everone leaves their body sooner or later. It just means it's time to find out/figure out where the adventure will take you next.
