Book Reviews of Many Lives Many Masters
Book Review: Validation
Summary: 4 Stars
This book was written back in 1988 but recently appeared on an Oprah TV episode (2008). For those interested in the afterlife reincarnation and other realms of reality this book validates past and after life assumptions via Dr. Weiss's professional credentials. The subject in this book lived 86 past lives but only a few are recalled. In addition, other beings speak through the subject to teach us some of the reasons why we exist. Of course many questions arise but few if any will be answered here. Now, as a reader of the "Seth Material" and "Seth Speaks" I was pleased to find commonalities between both books. If you are familiar with Seth you know that he was an entity that spoke through Jane Roberts which was recorded in hundreds of "Sessions". During these sessions Seth taught about the many aspects and dimensions of life. The Seth books are far more informative than Many Lives, Many Masters. Some of the common concepts discussed are:
1. Whether we believe in reincarnation or not we live many lives.
2. We are here to learn.
3. We are here to settle debts owed to people from past events.
4. We are not allowed to kill people at all for any reason. Only God can take a life.
5. Masters are spiritual beings from another plane of reality who come to us to teach.
Many Lives... is a good feeling book but to really get into it please read Seth Speaks. It is far more informative and mind blowing. For instance, we can not only change the future by present action but change the past too. We can create multiple personalities. There are an infinite number of dimensions. If you have doubts about these concepts please be informed that quantum physicists have theorized about numerous if not infinite universes. Another concept Seth declares is that "mind creates reality, not the other way around". Quantum physicists have speculated that conclusion during lab experiments. Basically, we are the masters of our existence and we exist many times over. We never die. We are as dead now as we will ever be. We should not fear death. We must have faith. We choose the time and place of our birth and the time of death. Periods between lives are to refelct upon our past life lessons and to rest and plan our next existence. So many more concepts are discussed. Buy Many Lives and read it then buy Seth Speaks.
Book Review: First it captured my soul, but...

Lifting the Veil of Illusions: How to Identify and Heal the Influences of Unseen Forces
When I first read this book a few years back it truly captured my soul. I remember the feeling of hope and excitement when I was rushing home after work with the desire to continue reading. But then, working with cases in my own practice, I was faced with the dilemma that made me to embark on my own journey of deeper study and investigation of past life memories. I will still recommend this book as a wonderful source of knowledge and inspiration that makes you realize that our life on this planet is nothing but a beautiful playground for us to evolve and learn from our experiences. If you are willing to dig deeper into the different sources of past life memories, I recommend "Lifting the Veil of Illusions" chapter on Reincarnation and Past Life Memories.
Book Review: Insightful
Summary: 5 Stars
Very well written. I feel this book is a must read for anyone going through the grieving process or for anyone with a loved one with a terminal illness or someone who is going through a terminal illness themselves. Perhaps reading this will put their minds to ease and allow them to deal with death and dying a bit better.Book Review: Excellent, Interesting, Worthwhile
Summary: 5 Stars
I found this book to be very interesting and informative, but I suppose that depends on if you believe the premise of having many lives. Well-written, a page turner.
I will say, however, that compared to the Life Between Lives series, this book fell far short. I still gave this book 5 stars because it is very worthwhile, but look up Dr. Michael Newton's Life Between Lives series for stunning, vast, massive amounts of material gleaned from hundreds of people, as opposed to this book which essentially only derives its conclusions from one patient.
Still worththile though.
Book Review: No Hocus-Pocus
Summary: 5 Stars
I have long believed in the possibility of reincarnation and the spiritual realm. It started with the book "Z" by Vasilisk Vassilicos, on to books by Lobsang Rampa and almost naturally, Dr Raymond Moody with his groundbreaking "Life after Life". This last one lent some credibility as it was based on interviews with actual people that had undergone through Near Death Experiences (NDE).
I had heard about this book, "Many Lives, Many Masters" from others, and when I saw it referred to in another book, this one written by a reknown Rabbi, I decided to buy it.
The book has no "Hocus Pocus" element to it. Dr Brian Weiss explains what happened between him and his client in simple and real terms. The sessions are condensed into the pertinent facts and these are delivered dispassionately. On a subject so easily dramatised and exaggerated the author keeps both feet on the ground and tells it as it was, pure and simple.
It is this straightforward way of telling it that captured my credibility. I am certain Dr Weiss could have flooded the book with psyco-speak and medical terminologies. Instead, he writes for the ordinary reader that approaches the subject with trepidation. The report is delivered in a balanced and yet exciting way. The book is not only hugely readable, it is also persuasively credible in its simple retelling of facts.
I strongly urge readers interested in the subject of reincarnation to read it and read it twice! It opens a new world of possibilities and is a landmark book on the subject.
