Thought provoking, an excellent read. - By: Gimme Gompo, 05 Jan 2009 
Wow...I was given this book for Christmas, & couldn't put it down - I always sat on the fence with regards to reincarnation & past lives, while I wanted to believe, my logical mind wanted proof. The fact that he was a scientific sceptic made it more appealing, as you felt you were getting a decent, honest view from somebody who didn't believein any of it, but who was proven SO wrong. I truly hope that his findings are all correct, as it offers hope & a sense of calm, if nothing else it will make you re-evaluate your current life & hopefully change things for the better. Give it a read, what have you got to lose?
A huge disappointment - By: Weedar, 23 Sep 2008 
This books tells the story of the author's therapy sessions with a woman he calls "Catherine". She is a young woman suffering from anxiety, fear of water, swallowing pills, et cetera. After having tried treating her with conventional therapy for 18 months, he tries hypnosis. Lo & behold, they discover a couple of repressed traumatic eventsin her past! But it doesn't help. Not until he takes her even further back into a past life. And so it goes...
When it comes to regression, there are numerous theories as to what really happens, & I started reading this book with an open mind & a keen interestin finding out what theory would best fit this story. Some believe there is an akashic field or a collective subconscious which contains the memories of other people's lives & that such memories are experiencedin regression. Others believe that we have lived multiple lives. Since I am interestedin the paranormal, Out of Body Experiences, Near-Death experiences et cetera, I was looking forward to an engaging read.
Unfortunately, I do not believe the author, a fact that renders all kinds of theorizing superfluous. In my opinion, he is quite simply lying. Catherine, & the spiritual masters speaking through her, are inventions of the authors mind. She is a paper thin non-person, the narrative is incredibly one-dimensional, lackingin about every detail. The author constantly refers to his own scientific background & critical mindedness, & yet even a child can see through some of his "she could not possibly have known" - arguments.
There exists a great body of anecdotal evidence that these kinds of past life experiences do happen. I am not disputing that. I am not saying that near-death experiences are hallucinations either. I am convinced that we are more than our physical bodies.
All I am saying is that this book is a waste of time. It is a novel, not a true story, & a poorly written one at that. It could have been more entertaining if the author had bothered doing some research before he wrote it. Details & character development is foreign to this writer. As it stands, this rubbish could have been written by a teenager as a school writing assignment.
Thought provoking! - By: Markie-Boy!, 20 Mar 2008 
As I am neither a full believerin that which we can not see, nor am i a full blown skeptic, I felt i was facing this book with an open mind. It is very well written & if you are to believein what it says, it is a beautiful thing to feel is both ahead of us & behind us!
Dr. Weiss failsin only one place for me - He does not clearly show how he came to so strongly believe this lady was not 'pulling the wool over his eyes'. Apart from the comment about his son, noothing else really makes me feel this could be a definite truth. He mentions that he checked up dates & etc. she was speaking of, but never elaborates on this which left me feeling slightly frustrated.
I must state here that I am being slightly over-negative towards the book here & am really nit-picking.
On a more open point, it really is thought provoking & is thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. It paints a lovely picture of the possibilities which may face usin the afterlife.
superb book for health victims, you are in control, look at your past, a fascinating read - By: Ms. Vanessa Wagstaff, 20 Nov 2006 If you have phobias or physical health problems or psychological problems, some of them are likely to come from your past, but not jsut this 'body' past, but all your other 'bodily' pasts, all your eternal pasts. We are eternal, so consider all the baggage you bring with you into each new 'body' life & here is a book that really digs deep into this business. By accident Dr Weiss began healing a patient with numerous psychological problems, none of which could be explained by her current life, or childhood. By open mindedness anda joint journey, his patient & he discover an incredible insight into the past & learn to release these problems through remembering where they were born from. Not only that but to add to the proof, the patient became very psychicin the process & had the most accurate information. Start taking note of your dreams, they are all psychic, they are all messages to you & for you & from you. Read this & eternal life starts to make sense.
good read, but ....? - By: ginger, 20 Nov 2006 
Found it an interesting read about the possibility of reincarnation but also found i was asking questions throughout, such as if all humans have souls that go to the spiritual planes then reincarnate to learn & become higher beings - no mention was made of animals (referred to as beastsin the book) which i presume would also have to have a soul or spirit as they are living beings & as anyone who has owned a pet would know are individually unique too. Reading from others who can claim to contact "spirits" usually always mention pets that have passed over. so i am a bit skeptical about this book. The bits about being spoken to by the "masters" also made me very doubtful & eventually take it all with a large dose of salt!
