 expectations and acceptances September 6, 2008
A lot of commentary from the Author who happens to be able to conduct hypnotic sessions, has very interesting answers that come from these people who undergo this state can answer the questions that he asks them while under hypnosis is very interesting for someone who has ever wondered about reincarnation or what happens after we die and go on from here.

I haven't yet read the author's first volume which was 'Journey Of Souls' but this second volume was enthralling from start to finish. Unlike a lot of other books I've read on various aspects of LAD and NDE which oftentimes comes across as a bit "woo woo", fluffy and absurd, Destiny Of Souls left my own feeling light and hopeful. The hypnotic confessions of his subjects are so detailed and intelligently recounted that it would take a lot to convince me that they were anything BUT legitimate. Reincarnation is a subject that intrigues me immensely, and past life hypnosis is something I would love to one day undergo, as I have had strange, intriguing and unexplainable experiences in my life that left me thirsty to explore this highly fascinating area. Skeptics will always find a way to cast doubt upon anything and everything not 'of this world' and I admit to being skeptical on some level of various authors and so called professionals, but Michael Newton is certainly not one of them.
From the author of Tales of Ancient Xenar July 25, 2008
I read Journey of Souls and very much enjoyed it. I read Destiny and enjoyed it a little more. In this book, Dr. Newton gives more details about his research into the afterlife. He offers more in-depth information he gets from his patients. He utilizes a method of hypnosis he developed. After reading this book, I am very much intrigued. I am now reading his third book, Life between Lives. That book teaches his hypnosis methods. I hope to utilize them and modify them into self-hypnosis techniques. I highly recommend this book if you wish to learn more about the afterlife and your purpose on this earth.

Whatever you want to believe in, he has found a way to weave it into the story so that no one's beliefs are challenged. He even finds a way to make fairies real!
I find it hard to believe that souls which are supposedly made of energy, require buildings and gardens to live in, in the after-life. The subjects in this book describe the place souls go after death, as a large university with libraries and rooms. They frequently refer to the souls as students who gather in classrooms to study from books. Even more difficult to believe, is the claim that souls require recess from their studies, and lesiure time!
Even more laughable, is the claim that between lives, some souls like to "vacation" on earth and wander around as tourists! When the author questioned the subject under hypnosis, he responded, "We are only visitors...It is a vacation trip for all of us." (pg 71) and "As visitors, we soar through the mountains and valleys, the cities and small towns....It is interesting to bump into different kinds of beings who are also on tour here." (pg 71)
I am fairly open minded (I practice astrology) and believe in an existence after death. But this book was so far-fetched, it read like pure fantasy on the part of the author. I would have liked his case studies to be scrutinised by an independent body, someone to analyse and verify his methods.
Inherent in his writing is the idea that no soul is capable of committing wrongful acts. Bad things happen in the world because an incarnating soul has trouble "meshing" its energy with a human brain. Anything bad that we do, is the fault of the primitive human brain. Anything good we do, is the work of the soul. Souls that have been associated with bad acts on earth do not have to answer to anyone in the afterlife, they simply have their energy healed, and a wise council of elders discusses better ways they could live in future lives. I find these ideas questionable.
This book was a huge waste of time.
