Topic: Spirit World According to Dr.Michael Newton's Studies
OK, this will be a bit long and a kind of summary on some spiritual info for me.
There recently was a thread on Dolores Cannon which was very enlightining and interesting. I searched for Cannon books afterwards and found one in Turkish; Between Death & Life. But another name got my attention in my search; Dr. Michael Newton - another researcher working on hypnotic regression. His two books Journey of Souls & Destiny of Souls are available in Turkish. I immediately began Journey of Souls.
The Scene
Dr. Newton gives us detailed definitions on spirit world. Souls are here - having physical experience - to learn/evolve/progress. We are here many times, learning more & more in each lifetime. The informations we gather in our lifetimes are studied carefully with our guides afterlife. We also have our soul groups and we have to work on our karma too with some souls. Sometimes they're our friend in one lifetime, they're our family/parents in another lifetime. Our guides are always with us, guiding us with love & light, willing the best for us. When we fail in one lifetime, they will be there to meet us and study on our problems without judging. In fact nobody judges us; it's us that set the court in between lives.
There was a very interesting classification of souls. Dr.Newton seperates souls into some levels, Level I, II, III, IV and V. These are nearly the same with our use of Densities. Level V do not need to have physical experiences and they usually do not attach to physical bodies anymore - but there's still %1 of human population onthis level. They're the path leaders. Level IV is close to be a Master, so if he's here that's for guiding others. There may be %9 of population on various steps of Level IV. That all together makes a percent of 10 - a population of 600-650 million people worldwide. One more interesting point; Level I souls begin from a source like a hive. They do not have "personal" features as higher level souls.
The majority of physical beings on earth are on Level I, II and III. Mostly I and II. Dr. Newton writes he's not happy to mention these souls have a long way to go and this is the root of many problems humanity suffers today - prejudice, conservatism, fear, anger etc. But as they're here to evolve, there's no need to get angry or be hopeless about the situation - they'll learn too.
The Questions
OK, now the questions. Lots of things do not settle in this scene. The most important thing is - for the NR's that are familiar with Dr. Newton's works - he seems to write what lots of people WANT to hear and feel comfortable to read. We all want to hear that our problems are temporary, we'll have love and light "in the end", there are guides/higher beings working for our sheer good.
But...
But again there's no mention of any dark side intervention in this process. I can't really see why some people do not want to see that if we're here to evolve/progress this process should contain all STO's and STS's, dark side and positive side. Why not? Is it a solution trying not to see dark side? If there's a "orthodoxy of new-age spiritualism" it doesn't have anything on power of polarisation - but we already talked on this many times on NR. Dr. Newton talks about fear, anger, hate etc. as characteristics of Level I-II and says they will evolve higher too. But... if a being chose dark side this means he/she will evolve on these characteristics and make himself/herself more skillful on these! What happened to Law of Freewill? And... if Level V's are here as path leaders, couldn't they see that their teaching will turn to prisons and suffering sources for the rest of humanity. The most important question is; WHO is responsible for this conversion - if these beings are here to help and "show the way" to the rest?
Also I remember reading about simultaneous vs sequental incarnations in some sources. Our higher selves do not have any restrictions on linear timeline. So why having one lifetime on one time? Are we attending only one lesson per one academic year or many lessons in universities? I finished faculty of pharmacy and if I had to take one lesson every year, I was doomed and couldn't still finish the first semester!
And finally... why do I have the exact feeling that ALL the higher guides are not here (or there or whereever) for our good? Higher self connections are something different but it can easily be misdirected according to my research till now. Again there's no mention or no warning on this - or maybe there is in his second book, I haven't read it yet. Time to order Dolores Cannon books from amazon.com for me!
