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!

What's Up with this world????
So today I am wondering: what's up with this world? Innocent families going to the movies for a night out to watch a new movie are victims of a young man, with so much promise for a future, decides to use his crazy antics to kill and maim so many others. I can't seem to put my mind around the WHY's of such an act of violence.
I'm sure he knew WHY he was doing this...but it had nothing to do with the reality of the world I live in.
This brings much sadness to my heart and I'm sure to many others too!
So for all the people touched by the awful event, I say a prayer that they not lose their FAITH in the human kingdom; this too shall pass. I want to erase this event from my consciousness but that would be just as bad. We can not run away from the world...as it is...but with the GRACE of God we can move forward and try to make some sense out of this event, and use the knowledge from this event to see that it doesn't happen again!
Something went very wrong ... and someone... somewhere should have picked up on this man's actions...long before this event happened.
We need to make friends...and notice...if they are suffering in silence about something. Perhaps some kindness could have changed the awful events from happening. I don't know, but I do know that IF someone asks for help; they should be directed to a area where they can receive it.

A RENEWAL OF YOUR LIFE PATH~
There are times in your life where things are seemingly slowing down and you just can't see the changes that are happening to you. You go along living like you have always done; and then something happens. Like a crack in the pattern of your life. You may not even notice it but the change has happened.
You decide to take a different road, try a different store, go to the movies, or maybe just take a walk to the beach. But your path has shifted, you are on a different voyage. Try to enjoy the ride; don't anticipate what will happen, just let it be. In time you will see that the change has occurred and you feel different about life. Your thoughts of yesterday are just memories and your day is new and bright. This is your renewal of your Life Path; and each of us has had this experience or will have one. Your energy has changed and although your pattern of your daily activities may remain the same ... you have had a major or minor renewal.
As you can see during the course of your life there are many such renewals...this is your pattern of growth and the increasing of your awareness of who and why you have been born.
Just for today ... try it.. make a change in your thought pattern...check out that new path and see where it will lead to.

A POT OF GOLD ~ 6-12-1975
In this long plan
Laid before all Man
The Path was set
In this challenged Land.
The Rainbow seals
A promised Land
Nor Pot of Gold
Shall be unfold
Without a thought of men of Old.
The Land lies there
Sometimes in VEIL
Along some brook
Or in a deal.
Look around
Look up
Look down
Look deep
and it shall soon be found.
In days of OLD
No one known
That man possessed a Spirit of Soul,
Life they thought
Just began
It knew no plan
of all on hand.
No seed
Did they understand
No atom
In a land of MAN.
Some men searched
For not in vain
Many suffered undo pain
Some founded Church
and In they lurched.
I can not end
This song of old
Without a thought
Of our Men born BOLD.
Many faces
March on by
A few I place
A few I try.
It is not for me
To try to BE
A person held on high
For all of US
Have found a place
IT'S ONE AND ALL ARE GOD.

WHEN THE WORLD STOOD STILL
There have been moments when people feel the world stood still. They have ushered in many actual occurrences in our life's. Probably the first was our moment of birth. Most people will never remember this actual event; some people claim they do. I am not here to argue that point; but just to remind people that the world does stand still in your life. Other moments that make me believe the stillness of Mother Earth, is at a special event...like a graduation speech; or any speech for that matter. The silence before a storm; the stillness as the wind seems to stop; and breath in; before the winds kick up and the trees bend from it's gusts. In the stillness of the night; when you watch your baby breathe or the face of your loved one silently sleeping. In the soft sounds of the waves as they roll into the rocks...gently rocking the boats from side to side.
Yes, the world stands still, as you contemplate it's depth of meaning. It's meaning is so different to me as it is to you. That is the beauty of this world, it's complexity. My world is much different today than it was yesterday; as your world too has changed.
Some ideas need to stand still; and be tested by the winds of change and the stillness of your mind. You may ask what idea's are these; and I can only answer the idea's that I question ... for my world and your world are not the same world. Our perceptions are different! The colors that I see, for example, are not the same colors that you see. So too are the people of the earth; for they come in all colors too. Again our perceptions are different. That's what makes this World so Special and it occupants, special too.
I think that at the moment of our death; the world will also stand still! For your perception will be on the spiritual path before you. We think of death as an ending; but in essence it is the continuation of your life. The earth journey will have ended but you the spiritual being will still exist and still experience the wonder of the universe. Many paths have crossed here on this earth journey, some will have ended and some will continue on. This is your spiritual pathway to the infinite conception; and it's journey takes many twists and turns; but you will remember this "When the World Stood Still."
