Customer Reviews

Insight, Healing, Understanding
Having worked beside Dr. Michael Newton, Dr. Linda Backman's book continues his work of bringing about an understanding of what it's like to be a soul in a human body on earth. She provides insight as to how to go about finding our life's purpose, why some of us face insurmountable obstacles (time and time again) in our lives, how "bad" or "difficult" people may serve a purpose at being present in our lives, how these same people serve a purpose to themselves/their soul as well, and so on.

Dr. Backman works with Past Life Soul Regressions, together with Between Life Soul Regressions; she provides insight to both within this book. It may not be in the same manner, form nor detail that Dr. Newton has with his books, though in her own spiritual way she enlightens the reader as to what it's like to be a soul (not just a body with a brain) within this dense, earthly plane. She also shares how to become more in tune with your soul/higher self, how we can gain a greater understanding of the life we've chosen and make the most of it...finding peace, compassion, harmony, acceptance and joy...despite whatever hindrances come our way. For me, personally, discovering that I have chosen this life, this body, my challenging childhood and all that goes with that - is quite comforting and brought me a sense of peace. Even more so is the knowing that once I leave this body (and this is what resonated with me the most): my soul enters this wondrous realm of pure love `n light where there is no judgment, chaos nor darkness. There is only pure love, bliss, excited energy, sharing of knowledge and illumination for the next time our soul decides to incarnate on earth or somewhere else.

This book spoke to me, therefore I would urge you to glean from this book what speaks to you. Though you may not revel in each and every page, be open to the possibility that there may be things that jump out and "speak to" or resonate with you. Keeping one's expectations in check can oftentimes open one up to receive splendid surprises...in the most unexpected ways.

A wonderful read
Having read the prior two reviews, I agree with the first in that Dr. Backman's book is a marvolous look into who we are on a soul level. However, I do understand where the second reviewer is coming from. Dr Newton's books were the first to talk about the Soul experience and gave detailed information on what is experienced in the "between" time of our incarnations. Both of his books were more focused on bringing the idea of multiple incarnations and what we do between lives into the main stream.
Dr. Backman's book has a softer more spiritual look at the chioces that we make prior to incarnating, why we choose difficult lives and how we can overcome what seem to be impossible odds and live rich joyful lives. Knowing who you are on a soul level, no matter what stage of development, can bring greater understanding to your life, can assist in moving you forward to a place of peace and harmony. And let's face it, for many of us just knowing that we chose our family members for a reason can be a comfort.
This is not a 4th Newton book, if that is what you are looking for, you probably will be disappointed, however, this is a rich, wonderful book to get a better understanding of the spirit realm.

Spreading the word
Even better than Michael Newton! I thought it was beautifully written and I liked the order in which it was laid out. The transcripts of other life between lives experiences are there, but what's more engaging is the way Linda connects the dots. She has a kind and gentle way of presenting things and explaining a soul's progress - much like I imagine a spirit guide would. I found the book very comforting and inspirational.

The more people in the world who receive this information, the closer we can get to a more peaceful universe where greed,violence and hatred can become things of the past.
Namaste.
