Destiny of Souls: New Case Studies of Life Between Lives (Michael Newton's Jo...

Great stories, epic conclusions, advice and guidance. Well written and easy to understand and follow. Hope he writes more books.

This book is so informative, I love it

Having studied and researched spiritual literature at great length for nearly 48 years, I must say that this book, as well as the others written by Dr. Newton, have unexpectedly become the "pot of gold at the end of the rainbow." They are like the reward for the adventurer who has spent a lifetime searching. In years gone by, I have read multitudes of books regarding reincarnation and hypnotic regression. They were fascinating reading and certainly helped form the foundation of my philosophy, however, when you have read several, the point is made. I had no desire to read more, but I stumbled on Dr. Newton's books in my search for interesting reading for my Kindle. I tried them, and found that I had to read them all. They certainly represent a magnificent breakthrough in the field of psychology, as well as spiritual knowledge. The vast number of patients (or perhaps clients) that participated in the research of the afterlife experience ( in the many thousands, at least), are enough to convince even a skeptic that there is something here that deserves a second look. There is such an enormous amount of replication of particulars, such as descriptions of activities that souls participate in, and subjects that we study, groupings of souls, management of the learning and evolution of souls, descriptions of how progress occurs, etc. There doesn't seem to be identical terminology for all the afterlife activity, but that certainly lends credibility to the descriptions given by the participants. Dr. Newton was able to write the details of the accounts of many of his subjects in such a way that you almost feel that you are there, particapating in the event. I, frequently, found him asking his subjects just the questions that I would have asked, if I had been the facilitator. I must admit, that occasionally he failed to ask the question I hoped for, or he asked it and the subject replied with a vague answer, or was blocked from answering by his guide. But again, these details lend credability to the whole process. I'm sure that there are many things that we shouldn't know at certain points on our paths, or that we lack complete understanding of. These books represent groundbreaking work in this field of afterlife or between life experience. He has established an institute to train hypnotherapists in his pioneering techniques that have facilitated this entirely new field of knowledge. I highly recommend these books to anyone who wonders what we do after we die, or what the purpose of life really is, or even whether we have a Creator. Although many answers can be found within Newton's books, I must warn you that they will raise many more questions in your minds. You may find yourselves on a path of enquiry and research that you had never anticipated.

Like JOURNEY OF SOULS, this book is not some trivial, New Age potboiler. I read it cover-to-cover (and intend to do so again) and I have found it to be quite satisfying and believable. It goes into much greater detail than the first volume with many more case studies. An example of the further detail is the chapter on earthly spirits (nature spirits, ghosts, souls in seclusion, discarnates who visit earth, and demons or devas), and the chapter on soul specializations (nursery teachers, ethicists, harmonizer souls, masters of design, explorers...) As I said before, I know some people are going to automatically reject it because it relies on hypnotherapy. They are going to assume that the hypnotist implanted false memories among his clients. At the very least, they are going to claim that networking between the 67 clients covered in these case studies resulted in the remarkable consistency among them. This does not appear to be the case. The author holds a Ph.D. in counseling and is a state-certified Master Hypnotherapist. He is aware of the common criticisms and he makes a believable case for why they do not apply in his work. I believed him. Once again, the overall consistency between the 67 cases is remarkable. Different terminology and symbolism is occasionally used but it is obvious that the same things are being described. What we have is an orderly picture of classification of soul development and of the structure of the spiritual world. It is remarkably similar to that described in different language over the millennia by shamans, the Vedas, the Platonists, the Gnostics. It also reminds one of the experiences of Robert Monroe and of George Meek in more modern times. Yet, you do not get the impression that the author or his subjects were overly familiar with these teachings at the time of the sessions. It is like the spontaneous symbolism that Jung described as arising from the collective unconscious; only in this case the source is the hyperconscious- the realm of soul guides. We forfeit our physical body after death but our eternal life energy unites with the force of a divine oversoul in an orderly progression. Our soul reflects a small portion of this oversoul that we call God. As it clearly states near the end of the book, the great lesson of Earth is to overcome both planetary and private destructive forces in life, grow strong from the effort, and move on. But then earth isn't the only available learning ground...

I still remember my high school biology classes where we spent hours memorizing how scientists classify every living thing known. Sometimes it seemed the only distinction from one type of critter and another was perhaps a spot in the retina. Well, maybe not that bad, but it felt that way much of the time. So it is with Destiny of Souls. Dr. Michael Newton is a scientist and he has to understand every little distinction and has to give it a name and a place in some category or sub-category. By the time you finish the book, you feel the end is long overdue and anti-climactic. However, don't let this detract from the importance of this book. I think someday, it will go down as one of the classics. The understanding one gets about the life in the spirit give you a better understanding of your spiritual life as a human being. It gives you a place in time and space; it gives you purpose; it gives you direction. Listen, you can read all of Gregg Braden and Fred Alan Wolf you want but, you won't walk away with the personal understanding of your life like you do when you finish reading Dr. Michael Newton's Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls. I recommend this to all.

Michael Newton‘s first book—Journey of Souls—charted the progress of a soul dying and being reborn. In this book, more information from his case studies is taken more deeply to present a more purposeful definition of the human universe by focusing on certain essentials. The prose is very nice. This book is also challenging because Michael Newton describes reincarnation better than almost anybody. And the universe is inscrutable. (It is very big.) When Michael Newton started talking about changing guides every 500 years, I felt like a speck of dust. We have been reincarnating since before the Neanderthals as an invasive species of light in a meatjacket.

This book just blows me away!! I want to go on reading "this book" for "the rest of my life!!" Every day, read more and more! And there will be new things for me to read, daily!! What I can't understand is that if this is true, and what he describes is actually how it IS REALLY, then it should be read more freqently than the Bible!! (blush, cringe--you can stop reading now if you don't like what I said!) Because I got so much information about "why" we are here! And so many images now in my mind about what aspects of heaven are like!! And there is a reviewer here that DID go to see him and had the experience. That's what I came here today wishing I could find out! That he actually does his technique with real people. Because I kept thinking--how do I know he didn't make all this up out of whole cloth! And the reviewer was saying that he SAW a medallion on a council member, that other people talked about that THEY saw during their regressions. And it felt so RIGHT to him that it was almost Ho Hum!! Wow, I'd love to have that experience, but it's probably very expensive. Still, now, as I'm going through something painful (and I am) I try to figure out what I'm learning from it, and I tell other people about this in the context of THEIR lives, too! I mean, for a long time I've thought about "learning lessons" in life, but all these details about how we choose what we need to learn and, for example, on woman always chooses a sick body, because she's so much better in touch with her spirit and does better healing of others. And me, I have these bad knees--so obviously, I did not choose to be a dancer in this life! I know how obnoxious I would have been if I had been a glorious worldly success! lol, as they say!! This partial picture of the EVERYTHING Mr. Newton writes about seems so integrated and makes so much sense. I wonder if I read Journey of Souls, if it will be boring, because it's the same thing? Well, I'll give it a try! Sorry this "review" is scattered, but better an enthusiastic scattered review that no review at all!!! Judy Shea

I have read all Newton's major books which have been fascinated and very helpful in giving new insights especially in regard to in-between lives. Having personally experienced non-stress related out-of-body and white light experiences such research has re-enforced and expanded my understanding. I was hoping to find satisfactory answers to some questions that all my life have caused me much heartache despite all my readings still do not make sense even in the big picture and continue to go unanswered: 1. What purpose does it serves individuals who die suddenly or from indiscriminate natural "disasters? 2.Prior to having the ability to learn from the experience in their present lives why do the very young suffer and die? 3. Since animals do not have free will as humans and live mostly by instinct, what purpose does their suffering serve? ...And why would a compassionate creator allow a natural system of carnivores/predators causing so much ongoing stress, fear and suffering in the animal kingdom? 4. Why do so many people with so much talent and skill find themselves in circumstances with little opportunity to use those special abilities to make this a better world...Why do not the spirits not work along side us for the greater good rather then allow us to become so discouraged and allow others of greed and cruelty to continue to dominate and decimate our planet? 5. Why does prolonged suffering occur amongst animals ...how could they be learning anything to further there spiritual evolvement since unlike man they are instinctual beings without free will ? 6. It seems that“lessons” can often be so hard, and or prolonged as to severely traumatized a person and loved ones causing understandable bitterness and regression, especially when earthbound the reasons are unfathomable yet still not revealed to them, which seems counter-productive and cruel ? Christ knew with certainty where he came from, his purpose and where he was going and why he was being crucified while God in spirit by his side, giving much needed comfort and fortitude etc. ...so why not the rest of us ? 7. Childhood would seem waste of time rather then starting at a mature age or where one left off from their last incarnation. Children being more prone to engage in abuse (...and further bad karma) cause unnecessary suffering, especially toward the defenseless such as animals? It would be a great relief as well as remove a substantial hindrance to my spiritual progress if any anyone could answer these questions as specifically as possible or give me references to some text that does, or if unable to ask someone appropriate during your hypnotic therapeutic questionings who could, such as a spiritual guide which if published would be of great interest and worth to others as well. Thank you such much for your time and considerations, Brad Kalita “Sum greater than parts”: The multi-faceted elements of human beings as a whole may be more comprehensible to make a comparison to the facets of water. Water is probably the most wondrous of substances having several distinct forms/properties depending the environment: Solid, liquid and vapor. Solid State…which we know well. Humane similarities in liquid state: Potential to let go, and just flow...exampfied by the wise elder who fell into a raging river surviving by not struggling and exhausting himself but rather flowing over the rapids until reaching calmer waters. Vaporous State …ethereal/spirit state, as in transcending or “passing over.” In scientific terms; Matter and energy never lost but transformed ...“having continually evolving integrative emergent qualities”. Such deductions may be comforting as well as enlightening since they coincide with laws of physics, thereby lending fascinating possibilities to human transformative potential. Life after Life based upon personal and thousands of documented case studies: Evidence: Those experiencing an“Out-of-body” often see/report things that they couldn’t possibly have seen/known. Core experiences independent of pre-religious etc. beliefs. Very young unaculterated children have same experience as adults. Contrary to claimed as stress induced, experiences are often situationally non-threatening spontaneous events. “The Unified Field”: Before returning earthbound “Near-Deaths” are often met by loves ones and animals experiencing surroundings of luminous radiant harmony and great beauty. Any questions/concerns are satisfactory answered telepathically, then consciously deleted. A detailed review is made of ones life during a wonderful restful period prior to corrective co-strategy...including race, gender, planet etc. for next incarnation. For teaching progressive/evolvement purposes unless prior reconciled, abuses inflicted are likewise experienced. “Ye shall do even greater things” – Jesus: Through further effort, varied life situational experiences and resulting acquired wisdom, eventually an ultimate magnificently blissful eternal multi-dimensional state of incredible opportunities and abilities is achieved.

A truly profound and transformative read. Destiny of Souls has opened my heart and mind to deeper questions about the soul, life purpose, and our journey beyond this lifetime. It is comforting, thought-provoking and full of wisdom. I found myself reflecting on many passages long after reading. The book arrived quickly, was very well packaged and in perfect condition. Excellent delivery and a beautiful book I will revisit again and again. Highly recommended for anyone drawn to spirituality, soul purpose and inner exploration ✨

Si es verdad, entonces esta obra y otras dos mas que ha publicado el Dr. Newton son una gran esperanza para el conocimiento post-morten. La duda es que si los sujetos bajo hipnosis no están fabulando, existen estudios que cuestionan la hipnosis para los testigos de crimenes, pues el deseo de conseguir la verdad del hipnotizador parece que se trasmite al hipnotizado. Por otro lado sin embargo existen coincidencias de los relatos de los sujetos hipnotizados con lo que cuentan los sujetos que han pasado por una NDE (Experiencia cercana a la muerte), aunque me ha sorprendido en general la falta de sentido de amor total que si cuentan los que sufrieron una NDE. Obra como menos curiosa y esperanzada de la existencia de un continuun de la conciencia personal despues de la muerte.

J'ai aimé la prudence de l'auteur par rapport à son sujet, l'étendue et la richesse des informations fournies. Je regrette un biais culturel new age/chrétien qu'il me semble perçevoir dans certaines interprétations, et le coté "tout est parfait", ainsi que la volonté d'interpréter dans une perspective unique les expériences des clients. Mais le dernier chapitre corrige cela. Je recommande ce livre à tous ceux et celles qui sont ouverts à des perspectives nouvelles en matière spirituelle et métaphysique. Je trouve ce livre extraordinairement riche et intéressant.

Excellent read, insightful, and a book that makes one reflect on the reason for this journey and the ultimate question, who are we?
