Is it possible that memories of past life could be nothing more than one’s imagination? What is the harshest criticism that has come your way?
As a psychotherapist, I know that imagination does not have a long-term curative effect by itself. I have had patients speaking foreign languages that they have never heard or studied (xenoglossy). I have had patients who have found their families from past lives after therapy sessions in which they recalled specific validational information. Others have known detailed historical facts that they never studied. So it is much more than imagination.
The harshest criticism has come from other psychiatrists who never studied regression therapy, who never tried it with their patients, and who therefore have uninformed opinions. These criticisms were worse in the 1980s and 1990s, but I find less of this resistance now.
How do you cure a person through Past Life Therapy and what is the relation between what you learnt in the university and the therapy you impart?
The concept of Past Life Therapy is very much related to traditional psychotherapy. The recall of emotionally important and often forgotten memories has a healing effect on present day symptoms. Past Life Therapy merely expands the arena beyond childhood and infancy into previous lives. The overall theory and therapeutic skills are the same.
How does Past Life Regression work? How do you think karma affects one’s ‘next’ life?
There is a strong connection between the events in previous lives and the symptoms, talents, and relationships in the present life. Using techniques of hypnotherapy it is not exactly very difficult to remember past lives. About 75% of my patients have been able to access recall of previous lifetimes.
To me karma is not punishment but is an opportunity to learn our lessons. If the lessons have not been learned in a previous lifetime, we come back to work on them. The lessons are about love, compassion, non-violence, patience and understanding, non-prejudice, etc.
Is there continuity of the individual soul? Does the concept of Past Life provide evidence for reincarnation?
There does seem to be a continuity of the individual soul. That is how we learn our lessons here. However, at some higher level, all souls are connected. The concept of Past Life Therapy provides direct evidence for reincarnation since it is the same thing. The soul enters a new body to continue its journey of learning. When the learning is complete, then liberation or moksha is attained.
Why do you think that the Judeo-Christian faiths choose not to believe in reincarnation, or at least it isn’t as popular a notion?
Christian tradition originally contained references to reincarnation. I believe that many of these references were deleted, especially by the Roman authorities, in order to maintain control of the people. In the Jewish religion, the mystical tradition has always embraced reincarnation or transmigration of the soul.
Based on your research, why do you think people have to die? Could we ever choose to be immortal or at least choose where, how and when we die?
We are born into physical bodies in this world, and these bodies age and die. But even though our bodies are temporary, our souls are immortal. So in that sense, we never die because we are never really born. We existed before we came into this body and we will exist after the death of the body.
I think that highly advanced souls do have more control over where, how and when they die, but this is not true for most of us.
