Same Soul, Many Bodies

Here's what I'm reading: Same Soul, Many Bodies: Discover the Healing Power of Future Lives through Progression Therapy by Brian L. Weiss.

And I'm not reading it for the first time.

One of my eccentricities is that I hold onto books for a long, long time. I read them. Then I re-read them. Then I re- re-read them. And so on, until the book either starts to disintegrate, or one of my cats expedites the process by shredding the book while I'm asleep. (Actually, that's good news for authors and publishers, because when a well-loved book has been velveteen rabbitted, I'll usually "have" to buy myself a replacement copy.)

Anyway, so after a weekend of indulging myself in a sweet novel, I picked up Dr. Weiss's book and started to read it again. The first couple of times I read the book, I was half-persuaded that the evidence was in, and that souls were, in fact, immortal. Then, each time I put the book down, I wasn't so sure.

A couple of deaths in the family later, I'm back to wondering whether a New Age perspective on the afterlife would persuade me, frustrate me, or just plain confuse me. So here I go again.

Dr. Weiss, this is your last chance.

I'll let you know what I come away with as soon as I finish reading the book -- for the third or fourth time.
