Amazon.com Review
Past life regressions are fascinating to consider, but have you ever wondered what happens between lives? In Destiny of Souls hypnotherapist Michael Newton asks dozens of his own patients to describe their lives from the moment of death right up until reincarnation into this world. Newton described this journey in his first book, Journey of Souls, and now takes us back for a second trip that is described in infinitely more detail. Of therapeutic interest is how spirits contact the living to help loved ones they've left behind deal with their grief. Newton assures readers that they will reconnect with those who have gone before them, even their pets. He answers the full range of questions one could ever think to ask about life after death: How can a soul be in heaven and reincarnate at the same time? How are new souls created? How are souls who've done evil on earth punished? These and many other questions are answered with surprising congruity between respondents.

From Publishers Weekly
Newton--counselor, hypnotist and author of Journey of Souls--draws on his regressions of some 70 clients to explore the existence of souls between incarnations. The most affecting section of the book is the second chapter, where Newton turns his attention to grief and argues that between death and reincarnation, discarnate souls are able to contact loved ones and comfort them. Excerpts of his sessions with clients show people realizing that they have had one partner throughout many lives; that after previous deaths, the couple was reunited; and that after this incarnation, they will be together again. Elsewhere, Newton investigates the nonhuman manifestations of spirits on Earth, including elves, fairies and ghosts. Newton also takes on malevolent spirits; arguing that demons and the devil do not exist, he reports that after working with him, clients who initially thought they were possessed by a "malevolent spirit" usually realize they have miscommunicated with a benevolent spirit who was trying to reach them. A rich volume, chock-full of interviews and fascinating first-person narratives, this book is nonetheless not for the uninitiated; Newton sometimes fails to explain his terminology, so readers who do not know much about "lives between lives" may feel lost. More informed readers, however, will find this a feast, and Newton a charming host.

Customer Reviews

An essential classic and a must read for everyone, IMHO.
This book answered a slew of questions I had. I spent the most part of the first read through considering what he has to say with skepticism, but I was consistently bowled over by the uncanny way the book managed to explain things I could never find answers to. There were eureka moments in every chapter. I found it at once hard to believe, and yet harder to dismiss.

In the end, this book, and it's companion volume, have been the only ones I have read that explained some of these things. I'm talking about memories and knowledge I never quite knew the origins of. This book just felt right somehow, and it did in fact mesh with my previous beliefs and information to the tune of about 98%, even filling in significant portions of blank slate in some areas.

I ended up concluding that it is in fact genuine, but I was surprised by his lack of inclusion of specific information that could be scientifically tested - such as specific names and dates which might be researched. Perhaps that simply isn't of interest to him, but it would certainly go a long way to helping those of us who are skeptical. Not everyone will have had the bizarre experiences I have had that help them put the information in this book into place as being genuine.

Overall, this book, and it's predecessor are books I recommend for anyone to read. Whether you accept them as genuine or not, they are still quite fascinating.

Validation From the In Between!
Love from Both Sides: A True Story of Soul Survival and Sacred Sexuality A few months after my husband died in my arms, Michael Newton's "Journey of Souls" and "Destiny of Souls" landed mysteriously on my doorstep. They were so much more helpful to my shattered psyche than the traditional "mourning" books people gave me. Then when my husband was able to "reach me," communicate with me from the In Between (the subject of my own book) Michael's work made it possible for me to "hear more clearly" what I might have otherwise thought was just sheer craziness. Because I'm a working hypnotherapist, I'm able to use all his techniques to help my clients connect to their past selves, and their "In Between" states. I recommend both books highly. And in terms of validation? Because I learned to channel, I asked my husband to validate differnt topics - the cluster groupings, the In Between hierarchy, etc., and even though he kept saying that it was all symbolic, because our brains didn't have the "wiring" to really comprehend the enviroment, he thought the information was a still a useful means of perceiving and understanding. He would say, "It's all Wittgenstein -- too big for your brain to conceive."

Destiny of Souls
This book is a continuation of many of the actual client cases of Michael Newton in which the deep hypnosis state allowed them to tap into their true nature which is "eternal spirit/soul". I resonated to his first book "Journey of Souls" like I have never connected to any other book. I believe this happened because it spoke to my soul in a way that it recognized it to have much of the truth about our true nature and our missions and life plan.

The accounts of these "souls" in both of his books have helped me find a peace about my life and the condition we currently find here on Earth. Truly this earth is our learning ground. It is not supposed to be perfect. Humans are not supposed to be perfect. If all was perfect here our "soul" could not grow and expand in understanding. For example, in the "spirit" realm you cannot experience hatred. If my soul incarnates currently into a gay person or into a Jew or Black person back in the 1940's, would my soul not have the opportunity to experience and understand what hatred towards me felt like? Also controversial to us, our souls/spirits are not appalled at abortions. Why? Because there is no need for a soul to incarnate into a fetus that they know the mom plans to abort. They just wait for the next opportunity or choose another body. The soul can never be destroyed. Energy can never be destroyed.

These books along with a 5 video series on youtube compelled me to have my own past life regression and then my regression into the soul realm. I found a practitioner on Michael Newtons site.

These regressions have been the most profound and helpful experiences I have had. My journey and life have shifted. There is a freedom from my human mind which brings much confusion, doubt, fears...etc. Now my soul reigns more in my life than my human mind. This is freedom! Thank you to Michael Newton's work!
