Same Soul, Many Bodies

I've finished reading Same Soul, Many Bodies: Discover the Healing Power of Future Lives through Progression Therapy by Brian L. Weiss -- again.

It's a good read. It seemed credible (this time around, although my perception about the book's veracity depends on how I'm feeling when I happen to be reading the book). Maybe Dr. Weiss perceives what we would all perceive if we regressed patients to the time before they were born through hypnosis. Or maybe there's something amiss about his technique, or with the way he processes the information that he receives through hypnotized subjects.

As a disclaimer, Dr. Weiss repeatedly tells readres that the results of his hypnotic sessions may be viewed as symbolic, rather than factual. In other words, maybe you didn't die in a fire 25 years ago. Instead, maybe there's a hot issue going on in your current life that needs to be resolved.

Well, thanks, Dr. Weiss. You offer us a book that raises a lot of questions...and few answers.

But then again, what did I expect? This is a metaphysical book, after all, and my view about metphysical matters varies according to the weather -- and New England weather, at that.
