Worth a read

I don't know how much everyone or anyone would relate to the whole concept of "souls".
I do and I am still in the process of breaking the conformity and still figuring it out.

I re-read this book all over again for the second time and i just had to share.

I am jotting down some lines quoting from the book. My intention is to share and further interest in like-minded individuals. The snapshot of quotes might lead to reading the book which could open a world of answers to unanswered questions for some. For complete reading plz get urself a copy of the book "Only love is Real" by Dr. Brian Weiss.



To start with an interesting experience by his participant:
"From the time she was a little girl,if she let her hand hang over the side of her bed, another hand would lovingly take hers, and she would be reassured no matter how anxious she was feeling. There was,of course, no physical form under her bed.

When she became pregnant with her first child, the hand disappeared. she missed her loving and familiar companion.Her baby was born, a beautiful daughter. A little while after the birth, the baby took her hand. A sudden and powerful recognition of that old familiar feeling flooded her mind and her body.

She cried with happiness and felt a surge of love and connection that she knew existed far beyond the physical."

Quoting Dr. Wiess from his book on his skepticism around and about Past life regression therapy:

"Because of my skepticism and rigrous scientific training, i had a difficult time accepting the concept of past lives. Two factors eroded my skepticism, one rapid and highly emotional, the other gradual and intellectual."

"Whether these encounters are real or not is difficult to prove. But they are vivid and filled with feeling. Sometimes the person even becomes aware of specific information, facts or details that were known only to the deceased. these revelations from spiritual visits are difficult to ascribe solely to imagination."

Quoting Dr. Weiss on "soul companions":

"This book is about soul mates, people who are bonded eternally by their love and who come around together and together again, life after life. How can we find and recognize our soul mates and the life-transforming decisions we must then make are among the most moving and important moments in our lives.
Destiny dictates the meeting of soul mates. we will meet them. But what we decide to do after that meeting falls in the province of choice/free will. a wrong choice or a missed chance can lead to incredible loneliness and suffering. a right choice, an opportunity realized, can bring us to profound bliss and happiness"

"Your head may interfere: "I do not know you". Your heart knows. He takes your hand for the first time, and the memory of his touch transcends time and sends a jolt through every atom of your being. she looks into your eyes, and you see a soul companion across the centuries. everything outside this moment loses its importance.

He may not recognize you, even though you have finally met again, even though you know him. You can feel the bond. You can see the potential, the future. but he does not. His fears, his intellect, his problems keep a veil over his heart's eyes. He does not let you help him sweep the veil aside.

When both recognize each other, no volcano could erupt with more passion. The energy released is tremendous. Soul recognition is immediate. A sudden feeling of familiarity, of knowing this new person at depths far beyond what the conscious mind could know. at depths usually reserved for the most intimate family members. Or even deeper than that. Intuitively knowing what to say, how they will react."

"Many of my patients just seem to know. when experiencing their past lives, they look into a soul companion's eyes and they know.They glimpse the deeper personality and there is an inner knowing - a knowing from the heart. A connection is made."

"Never worry about meeting soul mates. Such meetings are a matter of destiny. They will occur. after the meeting, the free will of both partner reigns. What decisions are made or not made are a matter of free will, of choice. The less awakened will make decisions based on the mind and all of its fears and prejudices. Unfortunately, this often leads to heartache. The more awakened the couple is, the more the likelihood of a decision based on love. When both partners are awakened, ecstasy is within their grasp."

"You will not always marry your most strongly bonded soul mate. There may be more than one for you, because soul families travel together. You might choose to marry a less bonded soul companion, one who has something specific to teach you or to learn from you. Your recognition of a soul mate may occur later in life, after both of you are already committed to your present-life families. Or your strongest connection may be to a soul mate who has not incarnated during your lifetime and who is watching over you from the other side, like a guardian angel.
Sometimes your soul mate is willing and available. He/she might recognize the passion and chemistry between you, the intimate and subtle bonds that imply connections over many lifetimes. If one soul is less developed and more ignorant than the other, traits of violence,greed, jealousy, hatred, and fear might be brought into the relationship.These tendencies are more toxic to the more evolved soul,even if from a soul mate. Frequently rescue fantasies arise with the thought, I can change him; I can help her grow. If he does not allow your help, if in her free will she chooses not to learn, not to grow, the relationship is doomed."

"The person may recognize the chemistry. The attraction is definitely there, but the source of chemistry is not understood. It is delusional to believe that this passion, this soul recognition and attraction, will be easily found again with another person."

Quoting Dr. Weiss On pain:

"Some of our most tragic losses and our most profound grief happened before we were born."
"In psychiatric theory, each loss we experience stirs repressed or forgotten feelings and memories of previous losses. Our grief is magnified by the cumulative grief of earlier losses"

"Elizabeth felt a deep and gaping hole in her heart and in her life. She could actually feel a physical aching i her chest."
