About the author

Michael Newton, Ph.D., born in 1931, holds a doctorate in Counseling Psychology, is a certified Master Hypnotherapist, and is a member of the American Counseling Association. He has also been on the faculty of higher educational institutions as a teacher while active in private practice in Los Angeles. Over many years, Dr. Newton developed his own intensive age regression techniques in order to effectively take hypnosis subjects beyond their past life memories to a more meaningful soul experience between lives. He is considered to be a pioneer in uncovering the mysteries about life after death through the use of spiritual hypnotic regression. He now trains other advanced hypnotherapists in his techniques.

Dr. Newton is the author of three best-selling books, Journey of Souls: Case Studies of Life Between Lives (Llewellyn, 1994) , Destiny of Souls: New Case Studies of Life Between Lives (Llewellyn, May 2000), and Life Between Lives: Hypnotherapy for Spiritual Regression (Llewellyn, 2004). Dr. Newton has an international reputation as a spiritual regressionist who has mapped out much of our life between lives experience. He has appeared on numerous national radio and TV talk shows to explain our immortal life in the spirit world.

I read this whole book in one sitting it was so interesting. A past life regression hypnotist focused his practice on the space between lives and interviews his patients on what that time is like, how we choose our lives, and how we interact with the souls who accompany us on our journeys. It's not hokey at all or new agey...there's no mention of religion or dogma, it's just accounts of conversations and the consistencies that the author has found between individual accounts. Really gets you thinking about your paths, the obstacles you encounter, and why it may be more important to really get through the hard parts of life and accomplish something, rather than try to avoid difficulty. Amazing

I have read many books regarding this subject and was not surprised to discover the author spent a lot of time in military schools . Although the book is about life between lives & spirituality , it lacks the essence of spirituality . It lacks the focus on love, compassion and human emotions . Instead it appears the author is focused on putting together a "system" an "order" of spiritual life - perhaps from military training . It lacked the "heart" I have felt while reading other books on this subject . The clients seem to be rushed thru the emotional essence of their experience , even while crying , the author brushes past these amazing moments that are so moving and highlights the "organizational chart" of the after life . After reading this book I suspected my afterlife would be another system I would have to learn to navigate , such as college, being a state employee or going to the DMV . I would eventually reach a goal but become exhausted doing so .
Therefore , I was disappointed in this book , not so much what clients reported but how the sessions were conducted and the material presented .

بدون شک هیچ وقت مطالب این کتاب از یادم نمیره ، نه به عنوان یک منبع مورد اعتماد بودنش که در این باره از علم من خارجه هرچند با توجه به مطالعاتم در مورد امواج مغزی میتونم بگم در شرایط خیلی خاصی و کاملا حرفه ای ممکنه بدون مرگ یا ترک موقت جسم مثل حالت کما امکانش باشه برخی باشن که تحت هیپنوتیزم و رفتن به حالت تتای عمیق توسط یک فرد حرفه ای در این حوزه یک چیزهایی رو به یاد بیارن ولی فکر نمیکنم این روش روی هر انسانی جواب بده ، این کتاب به یادم خواهد ماند فقط به این دلیل که در بخش نتیجه گیری کتاب نویسنده از یافته هایش گفته و اینکه اگر با خوندنش به هیچ چیز نرسیده باشیم جز اینکه ما هویت جاودانه ای داریم که ارزش جست و جو کردن و کشف و یافته شدن رو داره ، در این صورت پیام این کتاب و گزارش هایش از زندگی ارواح و عالم ارواح به هدف خودش رسیده خواه باورش کنیم یا نکنیم و فکر کنیم سر کاریم !
من سالها پیش وقتی در اوایل دوره ی دانشجوییم بودم به کتابی بر خوردم به اسم تنها عشق حقیقت دارد نوشته دکتر برایان ال وایس . مطالب اون کتاب و طرز به خواب بردن افراد و کشف واقعیت های روحی و مطالعاتش در مورد سوژه ها خیلی شبیه همین کاری هست که مایکل نیوتن در این کتاب انجام داده ولی یافته های این کتاب کامل تر و پیشرفته تر از کتاب برایان ال وایس هست ... پیشنهاد میکنم هردو کتاب رو بخونین حالا نه برای روشن شدن و کشف حقایق روح و بحث های سنگین فلسفی و منطقی و اطلاعات شاخه الهیات و این چیزها . جدای از سوال های ذهنی جالبی که برای ادم پیش میاد دنیایی که توش به تصویر کشیده شده جذابه و من که خوشم اومد ازش

This is a collection of case studies by a hypnotherapist who claims that he has regressed patients not just into past lives but also into the period between lives. The presentation is admittedly not scientific, and the propensity for subjects under hypnosis to fabricate memories in good faith is well known. As Carl Sagan has observed, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and while some may consider this collection to represent that extraordinary evidence, I personally have my doubts. I'll say this much, though: a) This book is a fascinating read, and b) It would be nice if the universe really works this way! Read this book with an open but not-too-gullible mind and come to your own conclusions!

[Kenny · Rating 5 out of 5]

Quite literally, one of the three most important books I've ever read. Newton, a hypnotherapist and admitted agnostic, begins to uncover, through his sessions with his patients, the existence and details of the un-reported world that exists in another sphere between lives on this earth. Most of what I'd hoped and suspected about the "afterlife" or, better said, "between life," was affirmed and expanded upon. Powerful and life-changing, I've read this book a dozen times and get something each time I visit the pages. Not to be missed.

[Grumpus · Rating 5 out of 5]

I can sum this up in one word: interesting. A look behind the curtain of death. . . and rebirth. We’ve all heard the stories about near death experiences (NDE) where the spirit hovers above the body of the deceased and then drifts through a tunnel toward a bright light where they see relatives who preceded them in death. Typically that is all we learn. This book tells the rest of the story.

I won’t give any spoilers but would rather comment on the methodology. I don’t claim to understand how hypnosis works but I find it very hard to discount that these people from all walks of life are able to recount nearly identical stories without previous knowledge of such stories.

It is similar to the stories told by UFO abductees under hypnosis. How can people from all walks of life, from all over the world (all languages and all religions), without prior knowledge be able to recall similar experiences, procedures, and alien writings?

I’m a definite UFO buff and hypnotic regression has intrigued me for some time. Now after my first foray into hypnosis for past life regressions, I cannot help but think that there is some connection between the two.

UFO abductees recount travel up to crafts in light, claim that these UFOs travel via light, perform various procedures using light, and now learning that souls and the spirit world are all made of light leads me to think that this is the common thread between these two “worlds”. Based upon this, I would not be surprised that more and more future technologies will be developed using light.

There is much to think about in this book as it may test some of your specific religious beliefs but in the end we are all creatures of something greater and we are all here for a purpose. Ultimately, life is life no matter where it resides and it seems souls are the common connection no matter the life form. This was an inspirational read that will leave you pondering the greater mysteries of life and beyond.

It's really a great book!!
Bring so much controversials yet intriguingly to read. It's hard for me to put down the book, not before I've finished it.

If you believe in the spirit world, this book is for you in that it will fill in many gaps you might have regarding this subject. If you are new to the subject, then this book is also for you, because after reading you will never look back, wanting to explore more,..

Have you ever wondered why we are here? What is our purpose? Who are we supposed to be with? What is the point?
This courageous book attempts to answer these questions through the ambitious effort of hypnotic recall through past-life therapy. Given the level of commitment and the consistency of the responses, Michael Newton paints a very credible picture of where we have come from, where we are going and why that answers many other questions of time and space.

It's a fascinating read for those with an open mind, and provides thought-provoking comfort to those who currently find life frustratingly meaningless.

Sceptics to the book's content will find 101 reasons why this book is the workings of imagination, my only argument to this is, if Michael Newton has written this book from imagination, then as well as gifted, he is a thoroughbred genius! Most individuals cannot fault his methodical approach.

Journey of The Souls is one of the best books I have ever read, and I read so many times just to feel the sensation of reincarnation. It comes highly recommended and Journey Of Souls should be on everyone's bookshelf.

If you are at all interested in life after death or life between lives, i strongly recommend you read this book.It changed my view of things beyond anything I had read before.You will not be dissapointed.
And you will understand the reason why I can't put the book down once I start reading

[Patrice · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read this book for the first time 10 years ago when a friend of mine gave it to me to read. It left quite an impression on me since I have been thinking about it ever since. About one month ago, I found it again in a used book store and read it in a few days. It seems that timing aligned again since it showed up just as I've been exploring the "spirit world" recently through authors who have written about their near death experiences.

One major reason I loved this book is because the author himself was quite skeptical about past life regression early on in his career. I saw an interview of him, and he actually used to turn people away who requested past life hypnosis. It was by accident that one of his hypnotized clients started talking about a past life accidentally that got him intrigued by this practice. I always appreciate someone who starts out as a skeptic and ends up a believer through having consistent evidence at his finger tips.

The book basically takes the reader through what happens to a soul when the body dies by using conversations written down verbatim by his clients. He then puts these conversations in context by explaining whether a particular client represented most of his clients or not. It was fascinating!

I would recommend this book to anyone who even has the slightest interest in reincarnation, hypnosis or life after death. It is one of the best and more "scientific" books I have read on the subject. I put "scientific" in quotes because I don't necessarily believe that any of us can truly know what happens to us after we die until we . . die. But this book seems to reveal some truth in the simple fact that so many clients of his consistently relay the same type of story to him. And that doesn't feel like coincidence to me.

First you have to get past the past life regression hypnotism. After that hard pill to swallow...

Newton advances a premise that the purpose of life relies upon our ignorance of life outside of this mortal period, but this is quite at odds with his efforts to expose what life outside of mortality is like.

What sits particularly ill, though, is the observation that one can really only know about these things through the medium of a hypnotist. Even if you believe in hypnotism, isn't this something we already saw and disliked in the Catholic Church, the attitude that one can only reach God through the medium of a priest? It's a shame to have to rely on an intermediary who is just as corrupt and incompetent as the human race generally.

Outside of what a hypnotist may tell you about this subject, there is paltry evidence for anything that Newton promulgates. That evidence amounts to flashes of inspiration, such as, "Go marry that woman," and unfortunately for Newton, this brand of evidence integrates equally as well or better into myriad religions and fringe theories.

Bottom line: Newton's theories are untenable and unsupported.

[Rose Rosetree · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is my favorite of the four such books I own. Michael Newton has helped to popularize the idea that past-life regression can be helpful.

Since I've worked in this field, I'm grateful to him for that.

In this bestselling book from 1994, Newton had some useful things to say about "Life Between Lives," a.k.a. Life after Death.

Unfortunately, from my perspective, this book began to go downhill, starting with Chapter Nine.

GROUPING SOULS INTO THREE CATEGORIES MIGHT HAVE WORKED FOR NEWTON AS A SCIENTIST

Hey, Robert had to think systematically in order to earn his Ph.D. as a counseling psychologist. I'm all for learning and progressing. Just one problem...

Consider, Goodreaders: This direction for categorizing clients just might be limited. Limiting, too. In my view, as a fellow past-life regression facilitator (also an instructor for the National Guild of Hyponotists), I take this topic very seriously.

Ultimately, it's highly unhelpful to take statements from clients in hypnosis and publish them as if they're sources of truth. For instance, from Page 124:

"My subjects state that souls end their incarnations on Earth when they reach full maturity."

Not necessarily. To put it mildly.

Tempting though generalizations can be about subjects for past-life regression...

WHAT MIGHT BE MORE HELPFUL?

Note the results for clients reported when they return for subsequent sessions. Quality past-life regressions can help clients to overcome fears, prepare for more success in their love lives, and so much more.

Human-type results are quite different from theorizing about what clients say under hypnosis, particularly when the facilitator has a strong agenda to find confirmation of his personal theories.

IN CONCLUSION

This five-star review lauds Newton's courage in writing about past-life regression as best he could. With his later books, more and more problems crept in, imo, because he kept creating theories with a low truth value, probing astral experiences as if they were a source of ultimate truth. (They're not.)

All that said, I do applaud the innovation and courage, the desire to understand, which elevate Michael Newton's "Life Between Lives."

Šią knygą rekomenduojama skaityti žmonėms, kurie išgyvena skaudžią netektį.. Skaitant pirmuosius skyrius, kaip siela atsiskiria nuo kūno ir mato kenčiančius artimuosius, nenulaikiau ašarų. Skausminga visa tai suvokti.
Kita knygos pusė kaip iš fantastikos srities, galima būtų viską atmesti, bet lengviau, kai patiki ir priimi. Nesinori galvoti tik apie galutinį tašką po mirties. Viskas tęsiasi, sielos mokosi, imasi naujų užduočių, tęsia savo kelionę.. Artimiausios sielos vis susitinka kituose gyvenimuose.

Knyga gali sukelti daugelį diskusijų. Ar galima pasitikėti hipnozės paveiktų žmonių pasakojimais? Bet jei tų pasakojimų dalys identiškos? Džiugu, kad ir toliau atliekami tyrimai ir seansai. Mums to reikia.

Knyga nenumalšins skausmo, bet praplės akiratį, suteiks vilties. Tai bus lyg mažas šviesos spindulėlis ✨

🖋️ ..žmonės galutinai neišeina tol, kol juos kas nors prisimena Žemėje.
🖋️ Jei bėgate nuo tiesioginių potyrių, tuomet daug prarandate.
🖋️ Jei praeitame gyvenime mums viskas gana lengvai pavykdavo ir mes nepadarėme beveik jokios pažangos, mūsų siela gali norėti pasirinkti tokį kūną, kurį kankins širdies skausmai ar galbūt net tragedija.
🖋️ Geriausius sprendimus lemia tai, ką vadiname instinktu. Pasikliaukite pozityviais savo jausmais. Jei gyvenime lemta nutikti kažkam svarbiam, tai nutiks.
🖋️ ..jei gimimą tektų palyginti su mirtimi, fizinis gimimo šokas yra daug didesnis.
🖋️ ..siela su kūnu susijungia praėjus 40 dienų nuo pastojimo.

This is another world view-changing book, or should I expand to say, universe view-changing? Like Spirit Babies by Walter Makichen, this book talks a lot about karmic reasons for our various incarnations on Earth (and possibly other planets from time to time). Dr. Newton uses regressive hypnotherapy to take people back to before they were born in this life and we see some of his subjects' past lives and what the spirit world looks like in between physical incarnations. Since I'm already a firm believer in reincarnation, I was glad to get detailed accounts without the author trying to "prove" anything or convince me. Apparently this author was an atheist for a long time before he began his studies and changed his mind.

Regardless of your beliefs, at the end of the book, Dr. Newton says, "To those readers who find the material offered in this book too unprecedented to accept, I would hope for one thing. If you carry away nothing except the idea you may have a permanent identity worth finding, I will have accomplished a great deal." For me, I carry away a lot more than that after reading this book. Thanks.

This remarkable book, and its companion book Destiny of Souls, have changed my life. When I first read them, I instantly wanted to try the ground-breaking form of spiritual searching they describe, and in 2005 I had my first Life Between Lives Hypnotherapy session. The experience was akin to what people call a Near Death Experience. I indeed visited with my Soul Group, met my spirit guide, and appeared in front of my Council of Elders to hear their incredible wisdom for the first time. Since that day, I have experienced LBL hypnotherapy several times, each with powerful insights from the other side– above all, the encouragement to "be" love in this life.

I am no guru–just someone who likes talking (and tweeting) about spirituality. I realise it may sound outrageous that we can get hypnotised and see Heaven. But thanks to the techniques first revealed in this book, anyone who has questions about the afterlife can simply try an LBL for herself and experience the world of joy and love that I saw under LBL trance. Newton Institute-trained hypnotherapists are increasingly easy to find, and I am positive that LBL hypnotherapy will someday be recognized as the "hotline to Heaven" that it is. Our past lives, and the love lessons they impart, are alive in our subconscious–in this book, Dr. Newton reveals to us the time BETWEEN our lives, when the "veil of forgetfulness" of earthly incarnations is lifted. Someday, Michael Newton will be regarded as the pioneer he really was.

Journey of Souls was a revelation to me: of the incredible voyage of growth we all share, a joyous walk to light and LOVE, back to a Heaven we never left.

…
أريد أن أعترف بجهلي اليوم؛ أنا في الحقيقة انسانة جاهلة، و جميعنا جهله لهذا نحنُ نقرأ، نحن نجهل الكثير و نحاول أن نعرف الكثير و لكن لا شيء يكفي.

هل سبق و تسألتم، ما هي الروح؟ و ما هو عالم الأرواح؟ و ما علاقتنا بالروح؟ و من أين الروح تأتي؟ و أين تذهب؟ و ماذا يحدث حين تهجر الروح الجسد؟ إلى أين نذهب بعد الموت؟ و ما هي الحياة بعد الموت؟ هل هناك حياة بعد الموت أصلاً؟

أسئلة مخيفة، أليس كذلك؟ قرأت الكتاب على آمل أن أجد لو نصف إجابة، و لكن الكتاب ازادني حيرة. ظللت أتساءل، هل هذا الكاتب يستخف بعقلي؟ أما حقاً ماذا؟
***
ما زلت أتذكر ذلك اليوم عندما قال لي مرة مدرس جامعي : لقد اخترتِ والديك. أعلم أن هذا يبدو جنون ، لكنك اخترت والديك.
بالطبع لم أكن أعي ما الذي كان يقوله ابتسمت له و قلت لنفسي : هذا الرجل فقد عقله

هل علينا أن نؤمن بتناسخ الأرواح؟ ما زلت لا أعرف الإجابة. فهذا أمر مثير للجدل. فإذا ما كانت الأرواح تتناسخ، إذا فهذا يعني إنكار للبعث؛ ثم إذا كنتُ سأُحاسب، فعن أي جسد سأُسئل؟
إذاً حقاً ما الذي يحدث بين هذا الطبيب و مرضاه؟ هل هو يكذب؟ و هل هم يصدقون القول؟ و لكن برأي أن ما يحدث أمر أخر، أمر أخر أجهله.. ألم أقل، نحن جهله. و ما أوتينا من العلم إلا (قليلا).

لن أضع أي نجمة، ليس لأن الكتب سيء، أو لأنني أشك بالدراسات، بل لأنني أجهل حقيقة هذا الكتاب.

A wonderful book that I took time to read, mainly due to the fact I wanted to savour and understand its concepts. It’s an absolutely fascinating read and I would encourage anyone with an open mind to read it, if they are guided to do so. Speaking from personal experience, it has made a lot of sense to me. I particularly enjoyed the chapter on red flags towards the end of the book. It has also made me less fearful about my own end of life during this lifetime

«آی بیرحم و مروت میرفخرا! آی!»

یافته‌ی اول: مردم اعتقادات مذهبی و دینی را فقط اگر یک نفر با عبا و عمامه یا ردا و صلیب و قبّه به آنها بگوید از او روی بر می‌گردانند. لباس سفید پزشکی از این قاعده مستثنی است.

یافته دوم: انسان چنان مشتاق جاودانگی است که برای اثبات این رویا هر خزعبل و جفنگی را به خود می‌باوراند.

یافته ی سوم: اگر فکر می‌کردم ظهور ادیان مربوط به هزاران سال پیش و قبل از تحول علمی در بشر بوده است، سخت در اشتباه بودم. هم اکنون و در دوران حاضر با تمام پیشرفت‌های علمی و با تمام تبختر و تفرعن اهالی دانشمندان و اندیشمندان، باز هم یک دین ماورایی می‌تواند پا به عرصه‌ی اندیشه‌های بشر ب��ذارد.

توصیه: اگر کسی به تازگی عزیزی را از دست داده و فکر می‌کنید اعتقاداتی حتی سست و شکننده - نه لزوما مذهبی- به زندگی پس از مرگ دارد، به او این کتاب را هدیه کنید. این کتاب به مردم امید می‌دهد که این دنیا و عمرشان فانی و بیهوده نیست و نبوده است. که عزیزانشان جایی در حال مشاهده‌ی آنها هستند. و روزی با روانی آکنده‌تر برخواهند گشت.

کهن الگوهای بشری و ناخودآگاه های جمعی انسان چنان قدرتمند است که شاید صدها سال دیگر زمان لازم باشد تا تغییر کند.

به قطعه‌ای از این شعر زیبا و بی نظیر دعوتتان می‌کنم و توصیه می‌کنم کاملش را بخوانید:

هم پذیرم اینکه از بن‏‌بستِ مطلق بگسلی پیوند،

از مسیر دیگری راهیت بُگشاید.

لیکن این بیرحمی آیا نیست، کاینسان سخت

بر چنان مردی، چنین ضربت فرود آید؟

واجب است آیا

که حقیقت این چنین تلخ و گزنده چهره بنماید؟

I had the feeling Mr Newton was just making things up. People in deep hypnotic trance states just don't act that way. And, although I personally believe in reincarnation, I seriously doubt the after death/pre birth processes described herein bear much resemblance to what actually happens after a life is over or before a new one begins. Sometimes truth is sacrificed for profit and I think this is one of those times. A real disappointment.

For an honest look into a similar subject you could try Brian Weiss's "Many Lives, Many Masters" or "Looking for Carroll Beckwith: The True Stories of a Detective's Search for His Past Life" by Robert L. Snow.

I can read this over and over and over... I have learned to look at my personal life challenges as necessary obstacles in order that I may progress by mastering areas of my life that are mentally and emotionally challenging. As I have always told others, life is a testing ground for the heart's intentions and desires, and it is up to us to subdue our passions and overcome greed, hatred, and delusion.

I would recommend this book to anyone who would love to change their angle (perspective) on life and experience a conscious re-birth.

[Gregg · Rating 5 out of 5]

Reading this book liberated me to the nth degree. In most, if not all religions, there is some type of evaluation of the effects of different phenomenon. To most this is known as karma, or a type of judgment. In some religions this evaluation is done by a temperamental anthropomorphic God, who surely must have known the outcome of the critique even before the creation of the person being judged. Be assured that there are only "LAWS" that govern the Cosmos, be they physical Laws, Metaphysical Laws, or Divine Laws, they are still Laws that can be understood by anyone who chooses to do so. For such a person ignorance is not an option, and enlightenment is the purpose of existence. This text seeks to unfold the implicate order of the "mystery" of the after death scenario.

Dr Newton, as a licensed regressionest , is able to hypnotize his subjects, and allow them to regress to the time in between their last life. He then engages in a session in which he cajoles various subjects to describe what happens after their death from previous lives. The grand epiphany was that you judge yourself. One of the things that kept popping up in the book was that people were a lot harder on themselves than their guides, or the rest of reality for that matter. One of the worst conditions a person can put themselves in, is that of a prison of grief and regret. This is the closest state to hell that I saw throughout the book. Because of the nature of time in that dimension, time is felt as value fulfillment. A good example given by Dr Newton is that of a lady who was grieving after she had died, because her parents did not allow her to marry the boy she loved. She was 16, and thought there was no need to continue with life, and she ended hers. After death, as a sign of protest, she refuse to move on and grow. She stayed and languished at her old house for what she thought was about 4 days, in earth time it was 4 years. Her guilt was that she wasted an opportunity to learn, while in the physical body. The lady ended her life for what seemed like a petty reason, and her profound funk was self created, and complete. When she realized she was the judge, jury, and jailer, the epiphany of the simplicity propelled her soul to go beyond what it was, and evolve. She realized in some strange way, that she would always be her greatest critic, and her greatest teacher.

The author then gives a different example in another area of the soul's existence. This area deals with how a soul decides on the type of life they want to live, and what they hope to gain by becoming a physical being. This case deals with a woman who wanted to be a writer. In this woman's/soul's past life something had always interfered with that dream. In the soul's next life it was decided that there would be some type of illness or accident that would limit the persons life choices. It was hoped that this person, with the handicap, would focus on writing to compensate for the lack of other opportunities. Once this person committed to this scenario, a type of accident was agreed upon, in this case it was the crushing of her legs from a carriage accident. The person had to "remember" to allowed the accident to happen in hopes to galvanize the growth the soul wanted. Once the person committed to memory the plan, they then had to forget it, because if a person knew all the mishaps that might befall them, it might incapacitate most people. When the time came for the event to happen (she was 12) a subtle (subconscious) voice told her to prepare herself, and at the appropriate time she leaned against the carriage door and it flew open, and the young girl fell out of the carriage and under the back wheel, crushing both her legs. The person did become a good writer, because she had both the affinity and opportunity to cultivate her writing interest. This would be called a preordain accident that helped to fulfill a future event that already was.

The author gives accounts such as this to illustrate actual cases of people, and to explore a possible metaphysical interpretation. The events that we think are accidents are no such thing. This reviewing/remembering is done after a person has died, and they are now reviewing their life with the full knowledge of why they chose the events in the first place. During this event there is a council of elders, who monitors your evaluation of yourself. This evaluation is done in a type of temple with a number of guides and people who were significant in that person's life. The person is at the center of this intimate temple, and a 3 dimensional display of the person's life is presented. You see all the hurt and joy you brought to the world around you, and every minute detail is explored. Dr Newton does a good job in prompting the subjects to articulate more on this scenario. After this review of ones life is done, an over all assessment is asked of the person. The person usually comes to a fairly accurate evaluation, of how they choose to use their free will. Dr Newton states that there is a change in the vibratory rate of a person when they are honest with the true nature of events, and it is this change in ones being, that is the true litmus test of a person's evolution. As your vibratory rate/frequency changes, you shift to higher dimensions, and you move closer to evolving into the rest of your higher self.

The text then talks about the meaning of the term "soul-mate". Explored is the concept of a family of souls that reincarnates with different roles and relationships to one another. These members become friends and benefactors while in the earth plane. If a refreshing and pragmatic outlook is sought about this most important subject, then your spirit will soar as you read, and remind yourself of what I think is necessary, to give yourself that piece-of-mind that millions seek. This liberating piece of work, as well as the follow up text, Destiny of souls can be ranked as a must read for all serious soul seekers sincerely seeking some solace.

I read this book upon a close friend’s recommendation. Normally, I’m not into spiritual stories or narratives — they just don’t feel worth spending much thought on.
But this one had a strangely powerful effect on me.

I’m still not sure whether the things described in the book actually happen or not — or even if that really matters. What makes it compelling is that the author never feels fake or pretentious.

It’s a good read for those who enjoy seeing things from a different perspective or who are interested in this kind of subject.

From a scientific point of view, the author clearly states from the very beginning that he doesn’t make any scientific claims.
Still, you can’t help but wonder — what if the things he describes were actually true?

It would certainly make more sense than the traditional heaven-and-hell hypothesis.

I said I finished this book to get it off my “currently reading” shelf, but I did not. I gave up half way through. What utter bs! I bought this book because it was recommended by the people whose beliefs I agree with. I believe in reincarnation, souls, and past lives because the evidence is out there, and I hoped to learn more from this book. But the stuff in this book is complete nonsense. Either Dr. Newton is making everything up, or he is leading his patients to say things that affirm his wacky theories about what happens in the afterlife. I’m not going to waste my time by going into all the ways I can debunk him, but just note, if you want to learn more about souls, the afterlife, and reincarnation, this is NOT the book for that.

Това е Книгата, която всеки интересуващ се от минали животи и структурата на духовния свят трябва да прочете.
Знаех, че книгата ще изобилства с регресии от практиката на Д-р Нютън, но не подозирах колко детайлни и информативи ще бъдат те, и колко много ще ме впечатлят. Чувствам се невероятно обогатена!

*I just saw that I reviewed this book over a year ago. My opinion has not changed. I recommend starting with this book as the author explains how he 'found' this information. Fascinating, life changing.*

What incredible book! As usual when I find books like this I feel I was 'led' to them as there is something for me to learn about my current experiences in life. I have been researching and reading about reincarnation since I was a teen (long time ago!). There are many books about that but not so many that address the in between part of living. All about heaven, and it is so realistic and genuinely presented you don't doubt the authenticity of the recollections of Newton's subjects under hypnosis.

Heaven is perfectly wonderful, but not always what we envision as we are inundated with supposition as to how heaven looks. Heaven being just a word to describe what is really 'Home'. Rather than try to convince anyone of the reality of reincarnation (which would be impossible in any case), I would ask that one keep an open mind and read this book to see if anything rings true. I loved this book and am getting ready to read the next one. WONDERFUL!

Michael Newton has gone where no one has gone before. He has tapped into the place we go in between lives using hypnotherapy. This book tells the journeys of several people as they are regressed to the point before they were born. This and his other book, Destiny of Souls are my all time favorite books. I read them after my son committed suicide. These books gave me great comfort at a time when all there was was grief and amazement. I believe in what this book has to say, and know on a soul level that it contains great truths.

[Jessi · Rating 1 out of 5]

I’m uncertain how so many could find comfort or anything similar in this book. This was such a miserably bleak take on whatever does happen in the afterlife. I would rather there be nothing than whatever this is. 30+ incarnations to learn lessons? Stuck in some rando soul study groups that aren’t necessarily who you loved being with during your lifetime? Animal souls are “simple” and therefore go someplace else? Boy, bye. That sounds like hell. No thank you.

A hypnotist who interviews his patients and asks them about their previous lives and the after life.


Very interesting and thought provoking which makes for great debate.

اول‌ از همه ترجمه ی آقای محمود دانایی بسیار روان و بدون مشکل بود.
دوم اینکه این کتاب فوق العاده ی لعنتی به شدت دید من رو نسبت به وجود یک ذات و شعور برتر عوض کرد. چون با اینکه من همیشه تو شک و تردید نسبت به این موضوعات زندگی میکردم ولی تقریباً ۶۰٪ نظرم بر این بود که هیچ انرژی (خدا) برتری به جهان حاکم نیست. حتی همین الان هم با اطمینان نمیتونم چیزی رو قبول‌ کنم ولی کتاب باعث شد وقایع و اتفاقاتی که تو زندگی برای خودم رخ داده و شاید من به سادگی از کنارشون عبور‌ کردم دوباره بیاد جلوی چشمم ولی این دفعه با یک دلیل خیلی محکم تر و همین قضیه باعث شد که حس درونیم بهم بگه که مطالب کتاب میتونه حقیقت زندگی ما باشه. البته تصوری که اکثریت مردم از خدا دارند طبق گزارش های سوژه هایی که توسط دکتر مایکل نیوتن به خواب مصنوعی برده شدند، تصور درستی نیست و اون خدای واحد کلاً در این مرحله از زندگی‌ ما وجود نداره و دخالت نمیکنه و در جایگاه والاتری قرار داره و ما صرفاً با راهنمایان خودمون در ارتباطیم که اونا هم کامل نیستند و در حال پیشرفت هستند.
و در آخر هم بگم که درست زمانی که شروع کردم به عمیق تر فکر‌ کردن در مورد جهان هستی و پرسیدن سوالات زیاد در این مورد از خودم و اطرافیان، به صورت کاملاً اتفاقی توی همین اپلیکیشن با این کتاب آشنا شدم و موقعیتی پیش اومد که با اینکه‌ تو یه شهر دیگه بودم از جلوی کتابفروشی اون شهر رد بشم و این کتاب رو تهیه کنم. همین موضوع‌ هم به نظر من نمیتونست از صفر تا صد به صورت اتفاقی باشه. چون جواب خیلی از سوالات من رو با فاصله ی کمی از به وجود اومدنشون داد و برای من مثل این بود که کسی یا عنصری تصمیم گرفت که جواب من رو بده.
