Book Review: JOURNEY OF SOULS .... Case Studies of Life between Lives..
Author: Michael Newton, Ph.D.
This is the second book I have read by this author. The first one was: Destiny of Souls, which I found so interesting I decided to read his second book; his third book is : Memories of the Afterlife..so I will be pursuing a copy to read shortly.
Dr. Newton sort of discovered upon the progression of souls during his regressions of his clients during hypnotherapy. His aim was to relieve his subjects of various painful situations. He found it hard to believe, at first, that all of his subject cases were relating similar stories. So he began to keep very good case histories. Whether or not you believe these stories is entirely up to you.
Dr. Newton is not promoting these case studies as actual events in time and space; however the similarity of each individual is too hard for him to just pass off as nonsense. In his introduction he states: "The research was painfully slow, but as the body of my cases grew I finally had a working model of the eternal world where our souls live. I found thoughts about the spirit world involve universal truths among the souls of people living on Earth. It was these perceptions by so many different types of people which convinced me their statements were believable. I am not a religious person, but I found the place where we go after death to be one of order and direction and I have come to appreciate that there is a grand design to life and afterlife."
There is so much going on in his books, one has to read them for themselves and make up their own mind to either validate or ignore his studies.
We are energy (souls/spirit) and this energy is eternal; we each have a specific home in the universe where we go after death. I was surprised at the grouping of souls...ie like grape clusters on a vine, and I am still mulling over much of his books. But I recommend these metaphysical writings to anyone who has ever wondered...What is my purpose in life and how do I achieve my life purpose?
This is a good book for research and study. Remember to accept what you can and if you can't then don't. We are not alone in the spirit world; we are mentored and given the opportunity to grow under the supervision of our Guardian Souls and Master's. We are loved, cherished and given all the opportunities to advance to the next level or just relax....for there is peace and harmony in the afterlife, and we shall all see this for ourselves.

LIFE LESSON # 1 FORGIVENESS
I have come to the conclusion that no one wants to hear your woe's.
People listen, but while you are talking they aren't really hearing you. Their mind goes on a "safari"; they are thinking about...what recipe they will try; isn't that guy/girl pretty; wonder where she bought that dress or shoes; hope she paid a sale price. Did I pull the plug on the toaster; set the oven automatic shut off; and a million other things. Oh, they make odd jesters; like nod their head...voice a few oral hum's...make you feel that they are listening. But you know better; because when they talk you do the same thing. Makes someone feel really bad, especially when they look back and review the conversation. I know this first hand; because I have been stopped in midair about to say something about a health issue and got cut off, by of all people, a favorite relative.
The younger generation doesn't want advice about their life style...even if you advice is coming from your own experience and your concern that perhaps sometime down the line, your bloodline may have to deal with medical problems you are dealing with. This happened to me almost a week ago; and maybe my ego was injured in the process. But when I remember the incident I realize I am wounded by the remarks. In my mind, I say to myself she was just kidding..but my sensors tell me differently.
I know I have to stuff these feelings down...hide them...especially from myself. A good Christian would say ... put it in God's hands. But I know me...I will give up to God...and at a later date..I WILL make my feeling known.
I'm writing my feelings down...hoping that this will release me from the hurt that I have felt...but the TRUTH is no one really cares about your hurt; because all of us are dealing with our own life problems.
So in the long run, each of us has been hurt some deeper than others...and we need to FORGIVE first our self for holding on to the pain and others for NOT REALIZING they have HURT someone else.
A VERY HARD LESSON TO LEARN!

EVENTS SURROUND US!
Everyday we are surrounded by events. Some are good and some aren't. We find we are pushed to experience the world ... by the media. We watch in awe of the good events and horrified by the bad.
We have become addicted to the news reports and find our conversations are mostly about the events of the day or the unfolding events of the week. We form our opinions based on these reports also. However, do we see the whole picture or are we just viewing and forming opinions just for the sake of others; or are we just being brainwashed into believing what we are viewing?
This is the world of the 21st Century, in which we are constantly being bombarded with various thought concepts.
Did we actually land a vehicle on Mars? Are UFO's real? What about crop circles, what's that all about? Geometrical signs. Hugh cloud formations, changing weather patterns? So many questions.
What I think is we should just turn down the volume, go into the stillness that is you, and relax, breath, quiet your mind. I am writing this mainly for myself. I know I don't have all the answers to these questions and perhaps it is better that way. I think therefore I am.
We were born to think, to create, to feel others pain, to synthesize the emotions of this world. So we are creatures of this planet, here to learn and experience various events. Your path is different than mine and yet it is still the same for we shall all finish where we began, and maybe to do it all again and again until we learn the truth and move on. We move on when we want to, when we tire of the struggles of this human condition; and want to just be spirits again. I know I am ready to move on to experience the peace and unconditional love that is ours, waiting once again for our return into the spiritual realms. But, always that but, we each have sort of contracted to be here on earth for a short time until our return. Each one of us has a different contract to fulfill and only your soul and your guides know what that entails. So be of good faith, laugh, love, live...until your time is completed.
Thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts!
