Many Lives, Many Masters

Summary: Convincing best seller
Review: Brian Weiss wrote a very convincing book but Laurent Guyenot in "lumière nouvelles sur la réincarnation" (a french book) has the intellectual ability to analyze what the reincarantion can be making B. Weiss appear naive and his book weak. Very very weak!

Summary: It changed my belief
Review: This book opened my mind to the possibility of reincarnation.

There are two ways in which my personal experience has sort of paralleled Dr. Weiss's exploration with his patient, Catherine.

When Dr. Weiss first began to accept as truth what his patient, Catherine, was telling him about her past lives and information she gathered between lives, he was forced to make adjustments in his belief system.

For a couple of years, I've been reading books on the near death experience. When I was several books into the subject, the possibility of life beyond death 'broke through' and became real to me, requiring me to revise my belief system. The way Dr. Weiss described his assimilation of new input so closely corresponded to my own that I felt I could be reading my own story.

Then there is the fact that the new information I've learned tends to slip away if I don't keep re-exposing myself to it. I keep buying more near death experience books and re-reading those I have. It strengthens my faith. It seemed to me that Dr. Weiss had a similar experience: His new beliefs faded between therapy sessions with Catherine, and emerged anew when he met with her again and heard more from her.

So, having new input to integrate and finding a way to hold on to the newly integrated input are two ways in which my own life experience seemed to parallel that of Dr. Weiss, making me feel I recognized a fellow traveler.

Now I'm going on to read his other books.

Summary: Great book, something to think about in this lifetime
Review: Is this true or not true? Whichever your believe is, this is a fascinating book to read. I have read this book 3-4 times before finally purchasing it just recently. I still find it fascinating and is making me curious about my own life.

I am Catholic and still like to be that way but I am always open to anything, including past lives and reincarnation. I do know that I am her for a purpose, maybe not to change the world, but to make myself better, to help others and learn. I know that I have alot to learn still but I think I've learned quite a bit along the way. I am not so sure but I think I have had past lives before. I do think I have been with people I am now around in the past, sometimes there are just certain attractions, negative or positive, with certain people, as if you have known them before.

So if you have an open mind, or just curious, read this book and your life might change for the better.

Summary: 86 Lives and Still Sleeping in a Walk in Closet
Review: This book states that one can only get close to God and be accepted by him thru accumulated wisdom (from the Masters). We keep getting sent back to earth until we collect this wisdom.

The worlds oldest and still best selling book says the opposite. Jesus stands at the door and knocks, i.e. in this one and only life. To those who: 1. Hear His voice and 2. Open the door; I will come in and sup with them and they with Me.

If this lady can recite 86 lives she has already lived and is still sleeping in a walkin closet and all screwed up, then golly, I sure want to believe in this "tread mill of the masters."

Summary: Unnerving
Review: This book was reccommended to me after talking of my experiences I've had with my 3 year old neice with a co-worker. My neice would share long past memories in detail of things that I had done as a child with my grandmother. She would say "Remember when I was your Nana and your were my little, little girl and we did this...". She's even told me that she'll be my "nana" again and I'll be her "little, little girl". It frightened me - especially as a skeptic. This book opened many doors for me and has in a way comforted my doubts in regard to religion.

Summary: Fascinating
Review: When I first picked up this book, I hadn't thought much about reincarnation, and doubted its validity; after putting it down, my mind was fizzing with the possibility of, "My God, what IF..." My outlook on mine and the world's problems completely shifted and I felt more hopeful, peaceful and awed by life. I loved this book - it's written simply but evocatively, producing vivid pictures of one woman's past life memories, and the remarkable healing her recall provides. Dr. Weiss doesn't force an agenda, doesn't ramble on about theological, moral or philosophical implications, just clearly and beautifully describes an encounter that changed both his mind and his life. And after reading it, mine was too.

Summary: open your mind to the possibility of another life ahead
Review: Many Lives Many Masters came highly recommended from my mom, who had read it several times and bought over 50 copies to give out to friends and family to read & reflect. While doing some soul searching this past year, I decided to pick up Many Live Many Masters and began reading. From the second I opened the cover I was hooked. Not only did the book re-confirm my feelings towards reincarnation, it made me reflect on certain characteristics and personality traits that I strongly believe have strengthened and grown through my own past life experiences. This book is the perfect example for anyone who believes in old souls.
