Many Lives, Many Masters

Summary: You must read this book
Review: As a follower of a religion where reincarnation is a mainstay, this book gives a different point of view on the subject. It changed my life as I'm sure it will yours. I'd recommend buying several copies, because from experience I've learned that once you loan it out, you won't get it back.

Summary: MANY LIVES, MANY MASTERS AND SO IT IS!
Review: Brian Weiss presents such strong profound and spiritual messages. He carries a high vibration and this is represented in his writing. I love all your books - they make so much sense to me. You have made some over-whelming metaphysical discoveries. I enjoy all metaphysical books, and highly recommend James Van Praagh's book "Talking to Heaven" and Jenny Crawford's book "Through the Eyes of Spirit". Thank you Dr Weiss for awakening so many people to past lives!

Summary: disappointing "rapture" where objectivity is best exercised
Review: Weiss is a Doctor practising at the most fragile interface of being- where the emotional, mental, and psycho-spriitual meet. While it is refreshing to find a doctor prepared to deal forthrightly with a whole area of metaphysical experience common to many, but rarely talked about except with discretion, this book both titilates the interest while it causes grave concern: Firstly, it is disconcerting to find him gushingly enthusiastic to the detriment of objectivity. We see this P54-7 where his amazed reaction to mediumistically delivered information on his son, Adam's death, leads him to unquestioningly accept this comes from a benevolently inspired "Master". He never considers the possibility that these communications which interrupt the hypnotic sessions with his patient may have undesirable origins, such as those the Tibetans call Pretas, or which any medium will warn of. Thenceforth, whenever one of his therapy sessions is inturrepted in this manner fom an extraneous source he assumes each different voice to be a diffefernt "master" speaking (see p 121-2, 139-40, P159-60 for more pretentuous and fatuous comments presented by the "Masters", or p185 where a further facile communication interrupts the session) But Weiss uncritically accepts these interupting communications as "..to talk with the "gods" and to share their wisdom. We were eating from the Tree of Knowledge, no longer forbidden" p162. The second concern this book provokes arises from the impression that at times the patient is used as a medium for the therapists purpose, while he is waiting for words from the "Masters". It was a definite impression of this reader that the therapist sidetracks from the process of therapy into pursuing his own metaphysical interests. In addition to this ethical question, there is also the issue of possible dangers to the patient by allowing (even encouraging) them to become the vehicle for mediumistic communication. As an account of therapy under hypnosis the book fails to satisfy. The hypnotic sessions are unstructured and any healing is a directionless byproduct of the sessiion, rather than resulting from the therapists guidance. For example the "cure" of the patients fear of swallowing arises by the patient breaking the course of the sessiion to bring it up and deal with it herself. But as a contribution to the influence possible former incarnations may have on this life, forget it! The book's real interest lies in depicting one man's uncritical infatuation with mediumistic advice from supposed "Masters".

Summary: One of the most important books I've ever read.
Review: This is a must read. It will change your life forever. This book gave me the courage to hang on in my own battle with AIDS. As a long term survivor, I can not reccommend this book enough. Also try Man's Search for Meaning and Life after Life.

Summary: Most inspirational and life saving book I've ever read
Review: My husband commited suicide in '92 in front of me and my two year old daughter. From that day I prepared myself to die. Until, that is, my mother sent me this book. It put me at ease to know what my husband was actually experiencing. I'd always heard that if you commit suicide you go to hell and that thought consumed me. It was so relieving to know that he was making his own passage. I prayed for my husband to be born again through me so that his ending wouldn't be the same. A year later my son was born and my current mate said he looked like my husband. I never told him of my prayer. This book literally saved my life. The words provided me comfort when I needed it the most. Instead of alcohol, I learned to turn to books. I highly recommend this book for all of the people that have yet to find the'r way in life, or their life seems to have no meaning. It made me pick myself up and start looking for "my reason for being here".

Summary: for anyone who wants to know more about rebirth
Review: I personally found it a very interesting book which reveals how a soul may go through many incarnations to come to its present state of existence. It also shows that the soul never forgets its experiences, proof of kundalini storing all its experiences. It is extremely rare that anyone should be able to remember so many lives because this is usually allowable for people with the ability to bear the burden of knowing so much.

Summary: Excellent
Review: I read this book a couple of months ago, and am still recommending it like crazy to all and sundry.

This book only states what has been known by ancient Hindu sages and seers in India.

May we all learn from this and be noble, humble and "dharmic" in our lives.

Summary: A must read! Addictive and thought-provoking.
Review: This book absolutely has the power to change your ideas about life and death. A well-written story, it sucks you in and leaves you seeing life through a filter of what-ifs. I recommend it to anyone who has ever searched herself for the answers to life's rhetorical questions.
