review 1: This material is what sceptics would call delusional and fundamentalists term as demonic. I think this is an honest effort but those of us who have explored multiple dimensions of the soul's journey, as provided by various sources, would find the concepts in this book comprehensible but not easily compatible with spiritual sensibility.From this side of the veil, from an ethical, moral and karmic perspective it does seem to go against the grain to put ourselves in the position of superior judgment, delegating instant forgiveness--even commendation--to ourselves or others when committing ignorant, hateful or evil acts. This book can give readers the feeling that as far as our earthly lives are concerned we are often merely puppets in a predetermined game of chess in which fr... moreee will is given little opportunity to function. I can't help but be a might cynical in respect to this material's emphasis on the frequent goodness of badness. It reminds me quite a bit of the god of Neale Donald Walsch in which moralistic relativism is a strong suit and we are not to attempt to second guess the Grand Scheme of things. It is difficult for me to picture a woman--being one of the "enlightened" ones--who has just been brutally raped, turning to her attacker and saying something like: "I am sure this experience was something I needed and our souls both agreed to, so thank you, and God bless you..."I found this book well worth the read for curiosity but not one I will treasure. Those who find soul research interesting would be much more challenged by the concepts in "Michael for the Millennium" by Yarbro. I much prefer the works of Michael Newton and the Edgar Cayce legacy. May truth be wherever we find it!
review 2: The author uses mediums to explore past lives and the contracts we make with our soul groups before reincarnating on Earth. I agree with most of the principles put forward, though I do not believe our lives are as scripted as was suggested in the book. My biggest concern was that the author appeared at times to ask leading questions of the mediums. I would have liked him to give a bit less information and ask broader questions, letting the mediums enquire into the 'pre-planning' sessions from the other realms.Nevertheless this is very valuable book and I highly recommend it for anyone who would like to delve into the subject of reincarnation. less
