Reddit mentions of Destiny of Souls: New Case Studies of Life Between Lives

SS: A question asked for centuries. Are we more than our physical body? Do we have a soul? Something that has been debated, argued, and fought over. After doing personal research on the subject and experiencing 2 out of body experiences, it piqued my interest and I went down a rabbit hole I will never regret. Today I wanted to share this research that has been done by the CIA on this subject. Regardless of the mountains of data already on the subject, this is something that cuts straight to the heart of the issue and doesn't hide behind fluff.

First off, I would like to give credit to /u/no1113 for originally posting and sharing this here 6 months ago. This did not get the attention it deserved and something like this is a great find to share. Thank you /u/no1113

Here is the original thread: https://np.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/6r5hk1/the_cia_and_the_continuance_of_individual/

And here is the relevant text, copied from the above mentioned thread.

> 27. Consciousness in Perspective. Having ascertained that human consciousness is able to separate from physical reality and interact with other intelligences in other dimensions within the universe, and that it is both eternal and designed for ultimate return to the Absolute, we are faced with the question: “So what happens then?” Since memory is a function of consciousness and therefore enjoys the same eternal character as the consciousness which accounts for its existence, it must be admitted that when consciousness returns to the Absolute, it brings with it all the memories it has accumulated through experience in reality. The return of consciousness to the Absolute does not imply and extinction of the separate entity which the consciousness organized and sustained in reality. Rather, it suggests a differentiated consciousness which merges with and participates in the universal consciousness and infinity of the Absolute without losing the separate identity and accumulated self-knowledge which its memories confer upon it. What it does lose is the capability for generation of independent thought holograms, since that can be done only by energy in motion. In other words, it retains the power to perceive but loses the power of will or choice. In exchange, however, this consciousness participates in the all-knowing infinite continuum of consciousness which is a characteristic of energy in the ever present. Consequently, it is accurate to observe that when a person experiences the out-of-body state, they are, in fact, projecting that eternal spark of consciousness and memory which constitutes the ultimate source of their identity to let it play in and learn from dimensions both inside and outside the time-space world in which their physical component currently enjoys a short period of reality.

I would also like to personally recommend some great books on the subject that go into great detail about the soul and our life between life. Remember, energy cannot be destroyed, only moved! Consciousness is energy, we cannot be destroyed, only our physical bodies fall away but our truth essence, our spark, our light of consciousness that we all hold, lives on. Truly amazing information and liberating as well.

If you are not familiar with his work, you may be interested to read Dr. Michael Newton's books 'Journey of Souls' and 'Destiny of Souls'. Dr. Newton discovered he could regress his clients to not only remember past lives, but also to a state where they could remember their 'soul memories' from our conscious time spent in between incarnations. His work in researching this in between lives state answers many questions as to what happens when we die, what we do in between, why we come back, and why we forget. Very interesting to ponder. Here is a clip of a documentary that was dedicated to Life Between Lives (LBL) hypnosis work. Please consider checking it out. I have personally had an experience with this hypnosis after reading his books and wanting to know for myself. They sort of address this in the video clip. It is an academic exercise to ponder these concepts, but it is another thing entirely to have an experience for yourself and know for yourself what it is like. Anyway, thanks for reading.

I recommend this one and this one.

For me at least, it was important to read these two Newton's books before Weiss's work. While I enjoyed Weiss, I find that Newton is more systematic and lays a more thorough groundwork.

Yes we are in a simulation. This life is a test:

Take a look at LBL Hypnotherapy to learn more check out this, this and this.

I'll start with an author whose work in comparative mythology is exceptional and deeply spiritual in a way that's very conscious of the difference between organized religion and spirituality. He's got a lot of books, some more scholarly and others much more approachable. Two examples here:

"Since lies are what the world lives on...those who can face the challenge of a truth and build their lives to accord are finally not many, but the very few"
--Joseph Campbell, [Myths to live By] (http://www.amazon.com/Myths-Live-Joseph-Campbell/dp/0140194614/)

“Half the people in the world think that the metaphors of their religious traditions, for example, are facts. And the other half contends that they are not facts at all. As a result we have people who consider themselves believers because they accept metaphors as facts, and we have others who classify themselves as atheists because they think religious metaphors are lies.”
― Joseph Campbell, Thou Art That: Transforming Religious Metaphor

Next, if you really want to stretch there's a remarkable series of books created from first-hand accounts from hundreds of individuals under hypnosis to map out the nature of what might be termed our spiritual home or "life between lives" - I find this to be more credibly presented and much more consistent with the many well-documented near-death experiences that are continuously being studied by groups like NDERF and IANDS and Dr. Newton's methodology makes these books a compelling read:

Michael Newton, Journey of Souls: Case Studies of Life Between Lives

Michael Newton, Destiny of Souls: More Case Studies of Life Between Lives

These aren't for everyone, and the idea that there is a proper place for spirituality can be hard to swallow for those who feel scarred by organized religion, but they've been helpful in my own personal journey to stay grounded while I escape a church that's obsessed with sexuality, the pursuit of money for itself above even the welfare of its members, and even the smallest perceived deviation from its accepted belief system and practices.

Wow, fascinating!

I can't really offer any answers other than what you can read in Journey of Souls and Destiny of Souls. I'm just going to say that if you haven't read them yet, you likely should, especially with your background. Newton's work is the only really credible (and useful!) report of the afterlife that I've so far encountered.

Perhaps it might help to mention that other hypnotists have corroborated Newton's reports, and are getting the same consistent images from their own clients as well - including people of various religions and cultures who have never been exposed to the books.

If you ever arrive at the bottom of this story involving Don, Paul, and Kurt, I would be very interested to know what you find out. I wouldn't worry about falling into some kind of vicious cycle. It does sound like you've come here in this life to break their hearts, but the way they've all fallen for you suggests that they're willing participants in the lesson. The way you feel nothing for them makes me think this life and body have been chosen for you so that you don't get scarred in the process.

Having this as an episode in your life doesn't necessarily mean that this is what your life is all about, or that it must end prematurely. There might be all kinds of different things in store for you, this might just be something you've come to do before the other things happen.

I've fallen for someone in a similarly inexplicable way as you describe Don, Paul, and Kurt falling for you. I hope that what she felt for me was very different from the complete lack of empathy you are describing for these guys. Regardless, it was probably the most painful experience of my life. I had a precognition that it would be extremely painful on day one. I asked myself, do I want to do it anyway? The answer was a resounding yes.

I seem to have emerged from the pain, for the most part, though I'm still battered and bruised. I continue to have love for this person. I, too, have no answers. I tried looking for them, but no longer really expect to find them.

Some things, I suppose, we might only find answers for when we die. I suppose it's possible to live without them. It's not like we have a choice.
