 basically a rehashing of the earlier books March 2, 2005
21 out of 37 found this review helpful
I enjoyed "Only Love is Real" because regression therapy was new to me. This book basically continues on the same path with anecdotal "evidence" of his patient's past lives. The stories that were hard for me to swallow include a past life in Atlantis where the culture was not just advanced but futuristic with flying machines and crystal buildings, and the fact that a man who encountered Jesus in a past life was not "cured" of his ailment until Dr. Weiss facilitated the revisiting of the Jesus encounter. The new angle in the book is the supposed future life visions which merely show potential future scenarios based on the individual's present choices and actions (ie..remain childless= bleak, unfulfilled future vs. have child= happy, joyful future).
I've come a long way in my thinking since I read "Only Love is Real" and I've tried Dr. Weiss's regression CDs with no success. Never-the-less, I keep telling my husband that just because you don't personally experience something doesn't mean its not real. However Dr. Weiss's corny, simplistic writing style and unbelieveable past life stories lead me to believe that its all hogwash. Now that I really think about it, 2 stars is probably generous.
 Interesting read, but no lasting effect.... January 29, 2005

Dr. Weiss' books are always interesting to read, but they never leave me with any lasting effect. After a short time, I find it hard to remember any of the cases he talks about. This book is no different. It has only been two weeks since I read it, and when a friend asked what the most interesting cases in it were, I couldn't answer her question.
Either Weiss is getting tired, or I'm simply getting tired of reading Weiss. Even though he offers his views on progression for the first time in the book, it's really nothing new. He sees future lives the way he sees past lives...you must learn a lesson (love, charity, compassion, etc.) in them, and if you don't...oops...you'll have to learn it next time...or next time...or next time. Weiss claims not to be offering proof of either past or future lives, yet he obviously has a very set in stone view of the meaning of life...or lives. His views, in my opinion, are as rigid as any views in organized religion.
And now, he has a prophecy about the future, which makes him a prophet now, does it not? He also takes a jab at New Age believers, saying many don't fully live as they should. This is like biting the hand that feeds him, in my opinion. He has a private practice, but he is no stranger to the New Age money making racket-- New Age conferences costing hundreds, New Age cruises costing thousands, etc. One can only wonder, if he sees those who attend such things as not fully living; or if he sees those who do not attend such things as not fully living? And $25 for a small hardcover book? Amusingly, Dr. Weiss repeatedly brings up in this book the fact that money means little to him, and that wealth does not impress him. While Weiss hears stories of horridness and sordidness, they don't seem to faze him a bit; but, what one thing does he hear that actually jolts and revolts him? The possibility that a client and his wife married for financial reasons, and not for true love! If this isn't overkill, I don't know what is.
This will probably be the last book I read by Dr. Weiss. It has been interesting...but it's just not that interesting any longer.
 great introduction January 2, 2005

I found this book great for those who are wanting to increase their awareness of past lives. As a believer in reincarnation, this book gives good insight into past lives, soul mates, and our spiritual guides. It also intrigues with real life experiences in hypnosis and the ability for each of us to get in touch with our own spirituality. As I grow in awareness this book fufills my desire to learn about my spiritual path. Same Soul, Many Lives is a great beginning understanding of regression and progression therapy.
Brian Weiss is a leader in his field December 29, 2004

Same Soul, Many Bodies is a remarkable look at the concept of life progression, showing us what life may be like in the near, as well as the distant future. There are books on past life regression, although few, but Dr. Weiss opens a whole new field with his fascinating studies on progression. If enough people around the world pay attention, the world would be a much better place.
Dr. Brian Weiss is a leader in the field of past life regression therapy with his book Many Lives, Many Masters. A highly advanced and enlightened soul, Dr. Weiss remains a wonderfully cheerful, humble man while he teaches others that love is the answer to many of life's questions. His aura of greatness is evident as he enters a room and it encompasses anyone in his presence.
Weiss offers more than you think December 26, 2004

After reading "Many Lifes, Many Masters" and "Messages from the Master" many years ago, I use to think that Dr. Brian Weiss didn't have anymore to offer to my spiritual growth. But I was wrong. I widely recommend this book.
