5.0 out of 5 stars Samskaras - the emotional knots preventing self realisation, August 17, 2001

This review is from: Regression: Past-life Therapy for Here and Now Freedom (Paperback)

This is an excellent book mainly because it offers a real structure to help with understanding the sometimes confusing crisis-oriented experiences that are revealed as the result of past-life regression.

To begin with, the book presents a more-or-less standard account of the overall pattern and structure of the multi-life experiences of the personal self. It differs in the provision of a structural analysis that can be applied to situations faced by many "ordinary" people when first becoming aware of the phenomenon and mystery of "past-lives". "Samskara" is an important Sanskrit term in Hindu philosophy. Samscaras are the result of large emotional and ethical checks received by individuals in the course of their lives. As such they represent deep emotional scars of such intensity that they generate commanding surface "desires" in the "normal" everyday waking personality. These desires in turn become the basis for the elaboration of choices, choices which affect current lives. When such choices fail to yield personal satisfaction, the resulting yearning and sorrow may drive selection of a future life. In aggregate, samskaras may be thought of as an endless progression of waves(of all sizes)moving across an infinite sea representing the personal self, the ego.

Here is an example of a samskara, from my own experience (in this life): when I was four my father invited me to launch myself across a deep pool in a small stream to where he was standing on the other side. I could not swim at that stage and I was afraid but my father insisted that he would catch me, before I sank, in the event that I might fail to make it to his side. With this assurance, I launched out but sadly floundered. It seemed to me that I nearly drowned, seeing the small bubbles above my face, before my father pulled me out of the water. My mother remonstrated with him but my father said I was in no danger and in retrospect obviously I wasn't. My father taught me to swim thereafter but for many years I had a huge problem with trust - I felt I had failed myself by extending trust so I did not easily do it again. I happily dissolved the scar representing this samskara (actually a little ripple)before my father died but it did affect my relationships for a long time before I removed it.

Almost any life, past or present, will yield such scars. Some huge and deep waves stir and batter the soul to its depths and other little ones barely ruffle the surface. Regression to a past-life will usually face turbulance from the wave most closely associated with a "current-life" concern. The Isis technique advocated in this book allows this conjunction to be directly experienced.

The waves are infinite in number and one often wonders what can be done to calm this endless sea. This book provides a technique that actually works very effectivly in the identification of such spiritual traumas and helps with "rooting-out" the cause. Following removal of the 6-10 most significant samscaras the way will be opened for persons to directly experience the higher self. A most useful book, highly recommended 10 stars!The Journey To Enlightenment

5.0 out of 5 stars A metaphysical approach to psycological work...., March 27, 2000

By 

Candice Oneida (Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Regression: Past-life Therapy for Here and Now Freedom (Paperback)

Wow! This book really takes Regression to another level...

The Regression work itself is a vehicle for an energy to work with you so that deeply embedded psychological imprints and patterns can be discharged at the very source of when they began. The result is de-conditioning bad habits, behavioural patterns and reactions.

The case studies outlined in the book illustrate clearly what the process of ISIS - Inner Space Interactive Sourcing, can reveal to people.

I have worked with the ISIS technique that is outlined in the book with the professionals from the Clairvision School, and it is definitely the most powerful work on self-development that I have ever done. I have seen in myself emotional patterns that have been nagging at me for my whole life as well as physical health problems, just fade away.

A must read for those doing serious meditation or self-development work...

4.0 out of 5 stars Response for "What A Waste of Money", September 12, 2006

By 

MrsTrobbins (Sacramento, Ca USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Regression: Past-life Therapy for Here and Now Freedom (Paperback)

This is a thin book, fast read, but one that you may end up rereading simply to help absorb all that is there. Other books by Sagan outline processes and techniques to try for yourself, but Regression is more about tying together loose theories about samskaras. Although clearly written, the book speaks more to an audience that has some knowledge or experience with ISIS or other form of regression, without which, the reader is just intrigued but not awe-struck. I feel it's a great book, one that has helped connect a few dots after traversing different meditation styles which left gaping holes in the manas/mind discussion.
