Journey of Souls: Case Studies of Life Between Lives (Michael Newton's Journey of Souls Book 1)

by Michael Newton

those left on Earth. In the chapters ahead, we will see how specific memory is a reflection of our own soul, while collective memories are the atoms of pure energy for all souls. Death does not break our continuity with the immortal soul of those we love simply because they have lost the physical personhood of a mortal body. Despite their many activities, these departed souls are still able to reach us if called upon.

Dying people are undergoing a metamorphosis of separation by their souls from an adopted body.

This music has been appropriately called energy of the universe because it revitalizes the soul.

Astral planes also have been described as being less dense as one moves farther away from the heavy influences of Earth.

In both situations, the guides of these souls are intimately concerned with rehabilitation,

Karma by itself does not denote good or bad deeds. Rather it is the result of one's positive and negative actions in life. The statement, "there are no accidents in our lives," does not mean karma by itself impels. What it does is propel us forward by teaching lessons. Our future destiny is influenced by a past from which we cannot escape, especially when we injure others.

The key to growth is understanding we are given the ability to make mid-course corrections in our life and having the courage to make necessary changes when what we are doing is not working for us. By conquering fear and taking risks, our karmic pattern adjusts to the effects of new choices.
