Review # 1 was written on 2012-12-08 00:00:00 Daniel Hilger I love reading books like this not because I agree with everything he writes but because I believe in the possibility of it. It also reminds me to not be judgemental of others journey and beliefs. The insistence of religion is fear of not knowing. I don't mind not knowing. Also, I would like to live in a world where we are all progressing toward compassion and love, so it seems like a nice possibility. Whether or not he met Jesus Christ is debatable and I wish it didn't, but it ruined his credibility for a bit. I put the book down for a week after reading that paragraph. However, there were some great parts in the book that I think everyone would enjoy. Near the end of the book he writes, "Anger management, health, empathy, compassion, patience and understanding, nonviolence, relationships, security, destiny and free will, contemplation and meditation, spirituality: all these are steps to immortality. All of these must be mastered now or in the future in our journey to the one soul. And all these are facets of the greatest virtue, which is love." page 195 In the chapter on spirituality he writes, "I've seen religious people committing acts of violence and inciting others to acts of war... To me their attitude is completely unspiritual, no matter what you religion espouses. Indeed, it marks the difference between religion and spirituality. You do not need religion to be spiritual; you can be atheist and still be kind and compassionate." "My conception of God is of a loving, wise energy that is in every cell of our bodies." He continues, "Are you a kind person here on earth, getting joy from your existence, causing no harm, and doing good to others? This is the essence of life, essential to our journey upward, and it doesn't seem complicated. But too many of us haven't yet mastered these lessons of spirituality. We are selfish, materalistic and lacking in empathy and compassion. Our urge to do good is subsumed by our desire to be physically comfortable." 181

Review # 2 was written on 2008-01-15 00:00:00 Merrill Rutan This is the book - or more specifically the book signing that led me to make an appointment with Valerie. It's a fascinating story line in my life but there are better and clearer stories in Same Soul, Many Bodies. Brian Weiss while looking into past lives noticed that sometimes people talk about the future as well! It's impossible to verify the truth of the future like the past. In his interpretation, the future is not concrete but an infinite number of possibilities and choices. It is mind boggling the amount of choices each of us make and the infinite permutations when you aggregate all of our choices together. Perhaps, it's more important to see where the future MAY lay if we continue our current path and where the future MAY lay if we make a different choice. Somewhere in our sub-conscious, we know. Worth a read but it didn't he me as hard as his first book, Many Lives, Many Masters.
