Into the Mystic
By Bret Burquest
Somewhere around
2,500 years ago, a fellow named Plato wrote 'The Myth of Er."
Er was slain in battle. His body was laid to
rest on a funeral pyre, a pile of material to later be burned. Twelve days
later, he came back to life.
Upon revival, Er spoke of his experience in the afterlife. His soul had
left his body and was greeted by a group of other souls. Then he traveled with
the group through a series of passageways into another realm.
Er was now in a gateway domain where
individual souls were being judged by divine beings who were able to perceive
everything the souls had done while in their carnal (earthly) dimension.
But Er was not judged. He was told it was not yet his time to
enter the heavenly realm and that he must return to his body to inform the rest
of the carnal word what was beyond their physical reality.
Having returned, Er told those present about witnessing the heroes of legend
making choices for future lives.
Although considered
to be a mythological tale, Plato was describing the phenomenon of "near
death experience." And by the planning of future lives, he was also
introducing an aspect of reincarnation.
In modern terms a
near death experience (
People who have
experienced an
1) A sense of being
dead, plus an overall feeling of tranquility and love.
2) The sensation of
floating upward out of their physical body and witnessing what is taking place
below.
3) Passing through
a tunnel or narrow passageway.
4) Being greeted by
deceased friends and relatives, as well as highly spiritual beings.
5) Encountering a
divine bright light and being beckoned (welcomed) by it.
6) Going through a
review of their entire life and comprehending how their actions affected
others.
7) When told they
were to return to their carnal body, they did so reluctantly.
8) After returning
to their earthly existence, they had a new perspective on life and no longer
feared death.
According to a
recent Gallup Poll, approximately eight million Americans claim to have had an
If there's another
realm of existence beyond our earthly presence, perhaps there's some way to
explore it.
Dr. Michael Newton,
among others, has done just that. Dr. Newton, Ph.D., holds a doctorate in
Counseling Psychology and is a certified master hypnotherapist.
Some of his published works include "Destiny of Souls," "Life Between Lives" and "Journey of Souls." He
specializes in explaining our immortal life in the spirit world.
While most of those
who explore such things concentrate on hypnotically regressing people into past
lives, Dr. Newton narrows in on the state of being between lives within a
higher spiritual (ethereal) domain.
Based on over 7,000
hypnotic regressions of people into the life between lives region, Dr. Newton
has documented a spiritual dimension consistent with near death experiences,
but much more profound.
The descriptions of
this realm have been highly consistent among the participants with a few minor
individual differences.
1) The journey into
this spiritual dimension begins by meeting one's spirit guide and soul group.
2) One then meets
with a council of wise, elevated souls familiar with one's soul journey.
3) Universally
reported by all participants is the selection of a future life (on an earthly
plane of existence).
4) The selection of
a future life is based on the uniqueness of the individual soul's journey.
5) This spirit
realm is one of love, kindness and compassion, as well as order, planning and
direction.
6) Souls are
multi-dimensional. Soul energy is in the human body while the true soul remains
active in the realm.
Life on this earth
is full of pain, suffering and injustice. It's a plane of existence to cleanse
our immortal souls.
When we enter the
Great Beyond, we enter a glorious sphere of love and compassion.
Some might even
call it heaven.
