Same Soul, Many Bodies: Discover the Healing Power of Future Lives through Progression Therapy Book

Brian Weiss, M.D., is most famous for his fascinating account of the past lives of one of his patients, Catherine, recorded in Many Lives, Many Masters. It was almost a quarter-century ago that he first attempted to pro-gress her into the future, but on that one occasion she spoke not of her own future, but rather of her vision of Weiss's future death-a slightly harrowing moment-and they never went in that direction again. So for years, Weiss focused only on leading his patients into the past, yet some of them experienced spontaneous pre-cognitive moments-knowing what will happen before it actually occurs. (Researchers into near death experiences have written about the phenomenon.) Then for awhile, and only on rare occasions, he pro-gressed his patients forward but only in their own lifetimes. More recently, when developing regression into past lives with a large group on a cruise ship, one man went forward into the future rather than backward, into an idyllic future life, and the passage helped him emotionally. At that moment, Dr. Weiss had a stunning insight, for he came to realize that past, present, and future are one, and what happens in the future can affect the present, just as the past also influences it. Now he has pro-gressed many patients with striking results, in which we learn what the future holds, and how we can all influence it on our voyage toward immortality. The book's basic concept is that the future is flexible, and that we will be present in that future, learning life's lessons. Each chapter draws on case studies of patients' pro-gression into the future to illustrate these lessons, namely the life-affirming values of empathy, compassion, non-violence, patience, and spirituality. Same Soul, Many Bodies will prove as utterly fascinating as it is instructive.
