Revisiting this book because it has been 20+ years since I read it for the first time. In my 20s, this book helped me not feel so alone when it came to my NDE. Now decades older, I understand how some people question the validity of everything that is covered, but there are still examples that ring true to my own experience.
Journey of Souls by Dr. Michael Newton is a fascinating exploration of the concept of life after death. Drawing on his extensive experience as a hypnotherapist, Dr. Newton presents his evidence that the human soul continues to exist and evolve even after the physical body dies. Through a combination of case studies, interviews, and theoretical analysis, he offers a unique perspective on the afterlife and the role of the soul in human existence.
One of the key ideas in the book is that the soul is an eternal, conscious entity that is separate from the physical body. Dr. Newton argues that the soul survives the death of the body and continues to evolve and grow through a series of lifetimes on earth and in other realms of existence. He presents evidence from his clients' past-life experiences to support this idea, including descriptions of different spiritual realms and the roles of guides and other beings in the soul's journey.
In addition to offering a glimpse into the afterlife, "Journey of Souls" also explores the implications of the soul's existence for our understanding of life on earth. Dr. Newton suggests that the soul's journey through multiple lifetimes can help us to make sense of our own experiences and challenges, and can provide insight into the meaning and purpose of human existence.
The book begins with a brief overview of Dr. Newton's research methods, which involve using hypnosis to put his clients into a deep state of relaxation and then guiding them through past-life experiences. He argues that these experiences provide insight into the true nature of the soul and its journey through different lifetimes.
One thing I loved about this book is the wealth of detail and vivid descriptions of the past-life experiences that Dr. Newton's clients have reported. The accounts are often emotionally powerful and offer glimpses into other times and cultures. I also appreciated the way that Dr. Newton presents these experiences in a structured and organized manner, providing a framework for understanding the soul's journey through different stages of development and the role of spiritual guides.
Another thing I loved about the book is the way that Dr. Newton ties his research into the broader field of psychology and spirituality. He incorporates theories and concepts from these disciplines to provide a deeper understanding of the soul's journey and its significance for human existence. I found this approach to be both intellectually stimulating and personally resonant.
However, some readers may find the book's reliance on hypnosis and past-life experiences to be a weakness. While these techniques are certainly interesting, they are not universally accepted as scientific or reliable sources of information. Though, as someone who has always been fascinated by non-physical realms, I enjoyed reading it.
I found Journey of Souls to be a captivating read. I'm not going to lie, I teared up reading a number of his cases. By the end of the book, I found myself questioning my own beliefs and assumptions, and contemplating the possibility of an afterlife in a new and deeper way. While I don't necessarily agree with all of Dr. Newton's conclusions, I appreciate the depth and detail of his research and the way he weaves together multiple strands of evidence to support his arguments.

I just did not find the book and case studies believable. I found it to be one man’s fantasy of what he wants the afterlife to be.

While I was heavy in my spiritual awakening I don’t think it was by accident i listened to this. A lot of it really rang true to my heart, and changed my perception on stuff.
