1. Ever read Journey of Souls?

I have it, but haven't yet inhaled it.

[Uncle Joe]

2. I've never read that one.

3. Supposed to be benchmark research

On the work we do between earth lives. The results were consistent with other researchers who worked independently.

He also wrote "Destiny of Souls," which I also have, but haven't yet read.

4. Well it seems to me

that if reincarnation did exist, by design the succeeding information would normally be wiped clean.

If that's the case, then I suppose it's possible that perhaps on rare occasions errors could occur with some of the information bleeding over?

On the other hand those errors could also be by design?

I'm still thinking about it.

5. The work was done by a psychologist using hypnosis.

Have you read Many Lives, Many Masters?

Excellent book about a psychiatrist & his clients.

[Uncle Joe]

6. Thanks for the recommendation

7. Yw

The psychiatrist was trying to help a client with very specific phobias & was shocked at what emerged during sessions. He'd never considrred the topic before.

He's written several books, all of them fascinating.

Enjoy!

8. There's another book that's just as interesting. It's called Our Unseen Guest. The last half of the book

gets into a serious discussion about life after death. The copyright date is 1920, so published long before Journey. The author is listed as unknown because such discussions on the topic in that time period would have been disastrous professionally. But there is now an insert that has been included that discusses and discloses who the writer was. The book is much more detailed than Journey, which I have read a couple of times. I have read Our Unseen Guest five or six times and learn something new each time. It's 320 pages. Right now I am reading both, again, and noting any contradictions.

www.ForgottenBooks.org is where they can be purchased but because they are located in UK, Amazon is the link they provide to purchase.

There are hundreds of books at this site, with hundreds of topics. Book can be downloaded as pdf, paperback, or ebook. I have paperback and ebook.

BTW: the author of Our Unseen Guest was known to author Stewart Edward White. Mr. White, while mostly known for his westerns, also wrote a series of books in the 30's about his wife's travels to The Other Side and back that are known as The Betty Books. They are very informative. I have read these books multiple times, as well. One book is not easy to digest which is why I've read it so many times because of its discussion on quantum theory and spirituality. Forgotten Books also have these. Stewart Edward White's books are so far ahead of their time when compared to Journey.

9. What happens after death

What happens after death ?. The best answer in my view is that no one knows. It may be that our consciousness is totally annihilated or that it is not, it’s as simple as that.

10. I like Mark Twain's prediction

Paraphrasing: "I was dead for billions of years before I was born, and it didn't inconvenience me in the least."

11. I might be wrong but no one has ever come back to say if any of this is true or not.Seems like wants and desire not fact

I must admit that this is a great AI generation of Alan Watts.
About 50 years ago when I got into Eastern Philosophy and I listened to a few Watts recordings on tapes. Every one I heard from various sources was of very poor quality. You could still get the gist of what he was saying but hard to decipher thru the noise. The videos were not that much better.
The Ideas came thru though... Great stuff
