Soulmates

Below are quotes from two of my favorite books in the whole world.... "Many Lives, Many Masters" and "Only Love is Real" both by Brian Weiss, MD...I had the privledge of taking a course with him at Omega Institute a few years ago. It was a course on regression. Brian Weiss is a psychiatrist who was raised in the Jewish faith and very much followed the medical and scientific models. He describes himself as being very rigid and sucess oriented in his early career. He did much research and writing with the scientific method until he had his "awakening." There is something about him that I am very drawn to ...I think it is the peace he exudes and the wisdom he shared from his heart.........hope you enjoy the quotes.- Peace and love, Michele

RE: Many Lives, Many Masters
This is the first book that I read of his about 12 years ago. It was one of the begining books I read /listened to on tape (and about 100 times because I seem to be a slow learner...I was so programed not to think that way but these anwers intriqued me so much) and thats what seems to be what started to wake me up to spirit.
Brian Weiss, MD, ends up having to hypnotize his patient, Catherine, to have her face things in her past that she may have suppressed and those events in her life (as far back as 3 years old) have caused her current conditions (insomnia, addiction.) She, in this hypnotized state, begins to go even deeper than that. She begins to talk about past lives. And in the process of passing from one life to the next, is stuck in this semi-limbo stage. This is what she said in a trance state, with a deep poetic voice unlike her own:
"Our task is to learn, to become God-like through knowledge. We know so little. You are here to be my teacher. ((Speaking to her therapist)) I have so much to learn. By knowledge we approach God, and then we can rest. Then we come back to teach others."...

Note to self...........(there are so many people that have just appeared in my life to teach me....when the student is ready the teacher will appear!!!)

She even talks about seeing the typical 'white light' but refers to it as an energy source of sorts. She talks about things she could have never known....his father and how he died and his son who dies as an infant...like 9 days old...they were both there talking to Catherine in her hypnotized state and relaying messages to Brian. (guess that blows his scientific model out of the water)...)there was no place that she could even have looked that stuff up....the method of their deaths the hebrew name of his father)

Brian says "according to most writers, groups of souls tend to reincarnate together again and again, working out their Karma (debts owed to others and to the self, lessons to be learned) over the span of many lifetimes." I truly believe that everyone is placed in our lives for reasons.


SOULMATES

Quotes from the book, "Only Love is Real" By Brian L. Weiss, M.D. ------------

Destiny dictates the meeting of soulmates. We WILL meet them. But what we decide to do after that meeting falls in the providence of choice or free will. A wrong choice or a missed chance can lead to incredible loneliness and suffering. A right choice, an opportunity realized, can bring us to profound bliss and happiness. ------------

There is someone special for everyone. Often there are two or three or even four. They come from different generations. They travel across oceans of time and the depths of heavenly dimensions to be with you again. They come from the other side, from heaven. They look different, but your heart knows them. Your heart has held them in arms like yours in the moon-filled deserts of Egypt and the ancient plains of Mongolia. You have ridden together in the armies of forgotten warrior-generals, and you have lived together in the sand-covered caves of the Ancient Ones. You are bonded together throughout eternity, and you will never be alone. Your head may interfere: "I do not know you." Your heart knows. He takes your hand for the first time, and the memory of his touch transcends time and sends a jolt through every atom of your being. She looks into your eyes, and you see a soul companion across centuries. Your stomach turns upside down. Your arms are gooseflesh. Everything outside this moment loses its importance. He may not recognize you, even though you have finally met again, even though you know him. You can feel the bond. You can see the potential, the future. But he does not. His fears, his intellect, his problems keep a veil over his heart's eyes. He does not let you help him sweep the veil aside. You mourn and grieve, and he moves on.

Destiny can be so delicate. When both recognize each other, no volcano could erupt with more passion. The energy released is tremendous. Soul recognition may be immediate. A sudden feeling of familiarity, of knowing this new person at depths far beyond what the conscious mind could know. At depths usually reserved for the most intimate family members. Or even deeper than that. Intuitively knowing what to say, how they will react. A feeling of safety and a trust far greater than could be earned in only one day or one week or one month. Soul recognition may be subtle and slow. A dawning of awareness as the veil is gently lifted. Not everyone is ready to see right away. There is a timing at work, and patience may be necessary for the one who sees first. You may be awakened to the presence of your soul companion by a look, a dream, a memory, a feeling. You may be awakened by the touch of his hands or the kiss of her lips, and your soul is jolted back to life.

The touch that awakens may be that of your child, of a parent, of a sibling, or of a true friend. Or it may be your beloved, reaching across centuries, to kiss you once again and to remind you that you are together always, to the end of time. ************************
