Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Although evidence for reincarnation is largely circumstantial, the authors defend that theory with the results of 13 years of Whitton's research involving 30 subjects interviewed under hypnosis. Whitton, a psychotherapist and clinical hypnotist, and reporter Fisher ( The Case for Reincarnation conclude from reports of subjects emerging from deep trancessix of whose dramatic cases are cited herethat after death the soul returns to the same timeless, spaceless condition that it left to be born, a state in which it remains until called upon to fulfill its spiritual evolution, or karma, by returning to earth. Reliving former, often traumatic lives, the authors claim, provides subjects with beneficial insights into present problems. For those who wish to attempt self-exploration of the past, visualization techniques, intended to evoke memories of earlier lives, are provided.

From Library Journal

Here described is Toronto psychiatrist Whitton's research regarding the Bardo, the state between incarnations. Whitton found that if he used hypnosis to regress patients to past lives and especially to the Bardo, in which the soul is said to choose the circumstances of its next life to work out certain personal problems, outstanding results occurred. When patients realize that they have chosen their present circumstances, their symptoms abate or disappear, replaced by a healthier attitude. This may be a new game people are playing, but as a therapeutic technique, it works for Whitton. Apparently no one else has yet tried to repeat his results. An absorbing account of one man's dedicated search that makes one wonder. Rhea A. White, East Meadow P.L., N.Y.

This review is from: Life Between Life (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is fine for people new to the topic. It details how events in past lives affect what's happening in the current one. Has only a smattering of info about life BETWEEN lives. Also tells of famous cases historically. But if you've already read very much on the subject, read Journey of Souls by Michael Newton (and see the reviews), which addresses much more about about life BETWEEN lives.

review by Catt Foy

"Life Between Life" goes where few other books on reincarnation have gone. There are many good works regarding past-life regression, and most of them hint at or touch upon the time between lives. But Whitton and Fisher have brought that "between-time", known as "bardo", into greater focus.

With thorough research and careful follow-up on their case histories, the authors demonstrate effectively and powerfully how our soul evolution is "decided" prior to entering into another physical lifetime. Just as "Life After Life" brought us multiple descriptions of near-death-experiences and demonstrated their common elements, so "Life Between Life" does for the bardo experiences of their clients, providing us a glimpse into our own potential for greater personal and spiritual understanding.

For those who seek practical, concrete information regarding the phenomena of reincarnation, as well as tips on how to access this knowledge in their personal lives, this is a MUST READ.

This review is from: Life Between Life (Mass Market Paperback)

As someone who deals in life, death, and quality of life issues on a daily basis... I have always been fascinated by what lies beyond. This book took me deeper than I have been before and led me to think about issues in a different light.

I have always wondered why some people are born into luxury, and others famine- some into health, others in bodies that can't even last through childhood.

In seeing that these circumstances could be the result of our own choice, for a spiritual goal, It helped me to deal with my everyday frustrations about the inequalities we see around us.

This book was fasinating, and thought provoking.
