After this Life (condensed prose review) by richard lynn livesay

Dr. Michael Newton is a certified master Hypnotherapist that has regressed hundreds of patients over many years and has compiled records of past lives but even more astounding is the data collected of the soul’s journey into the after-life. His book “Journey of Souls” is an outstanding collection of detailed

recollections of what transpires between the “death” of the human body and our choice to reincarnate

All threads are woven into the same piece of fabric

So be it the nature of beauty to desire manifestation

For creation whispers answers gently in the mind

Time, an expression of change is a moving continuum

A divine purpose to self-actualize the soul’s identity

Soon released from bodily confinements to return home

Hovering over the discarded shell awhile, transposed

Wanting to tell loved-ones, ”here I am. I’m ok!”

But there is a gentle pulling to go on with the true journey

Through the compelling ethereal tunnel of gentle white light

Supreme quiescence traveling to meet friends and love-ones

If needed a guide will be there to welcome and console

Guided to a “space of healing”, bathed in streams of liquid energy

Emotionally cleansed and restored from the bonds of earthly life

Restored, I go with my guide to a quite place to talk and counsel

Nothing hidden, there is no deception or judgment, all is ok

A process of self- evaluation; mistakes, sad times; happy times

Based on original intent of choices and actions of an earthly lifetime

Floating like a stream to the sea, swirled around slowly to a tributary

Quietly drifting in peace down a corridor, passing clusters of soul light

“A familiar pulling of minds is reaching out for me; I join them in thought”

“I’m home. These are my people; this is my soul group”, complete acceptance

Oneness, no hostility, no suspicion; a universal bonding with everyone

Appearing before the Council of Elders to evaluate perceptions of recent life

Spiritual study in soul groups with three to twenty-five kindred souls

“We all look at and study Life Books which are live pictures of past lives

We help one another and discuss the value of our choices and alternatives”

Every soul generates a specific color aura or intensity of radiated energy

Souls project various shades of white, yellow, red, green and blue

Senior guides work with soul groups in the spirit world and on earth

There are ascended masters to help guides with their soul groups

We are accepted as individuals with the right to make our own mistakes

As we are all on a path to become one with the Divine Creator

The soul decides when it is ready to incarnate then proceeds to “life selection”

Souls are directed to see themselves in the future in different roles and settings

The scene can be stopped and entered to gather more information

On earth parts of our lives are obscured to test abilities to find solutions

An amnesia imposed so past lives will not inhibit self-discovery

Reincarnation is the exercise of free will in the law of cause and effect

Depending on the souls inclinations, it will enter the baby early or late

The immortal soul becomes the seat of perception for the developing human ego

At times, conscious doubts tempt us into attachments in our physical world

We are the masters of our destiny in choosing to incarnate, responsibly

We may choose other worlds but must coordinate with our “supporting cast”

One lesson is to accept people for who they are and not be dependent on them

A Buddhist teacher in Thailand says, “Life is offered as a means of self-expression

Giving us what we seek when we listen to the heart” There is order and purpose

One day we will finish this long journey and reach an ultimate state of enlightenment.

Each soul is an individual developing at its own rate and will experience differences

In their “after-life” based on their needs and their wills to achieve enlightenment

Earth-life is difficult but that is why we come here…to overcome…to become love
