Key words

psychiatrist, masters, messages, past life, previous life

INTRODUCTION

Catherine has been a patient of the young psychiatrist Dr. Brian Weiss for 18 months. Catherine had ongoing nightmares and ongoing anxiety attacks. When more conventional forms of therapy didn't work, Dr. Weiss tried hypnosis. He was surprised and doubtful when Catherine started remembering past-life traumas that seemed to hold the solution to her issues.

Dr. Weiss's doubts were dispelled when Catherine started receiving signals from "the space between lifetimes" that offered astounding insights regarding his own life. Many life and death secrets were disclosed by Catherine as she served as a conduit for information from highly advanced spirit beings known as the Masters.

The intriguing case profoundly affected the lives of Catherine and Dr. Weiss and sheds crucial light on the complexities of the mind, life after death, and the impact of past lifetimes on how we behave today.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

“Many Lives Many Masters” which is one of the famous Brian Weiss Books is an outstanding portrayal of a psychiatrist, the true story of his young patients, and previous life therapy that changed their lives. The book “Many Lives Many Masters” talks about 12 past lives out of 86 lives.

One of the Brian Weiss Book “Many Lives Many Masters” is about a young patient named Catherine who is troubled by many fears, phobias, and anxiety. She sought psychiatric evaluation, and psychiatrist Dr. Brian Weiss assisted her in the treatment.

It is interesting to see how a sceptical research scholar is attracted to spirituality instead of focusing on giving more sedatives and antidepressants. Returning to help his subject Catherine’s personal views on the difficult situation in life, and help her eradicate the problem.

The teachings of the masters :

Lessons we have to learn to progress

“We must share our knowledge with other people. that we all have abilities far beyond what we use. some of us find this out sooner than others. that you should check your vices before you come to this point. if you do not, you carry them over with you to another life. only we can rid ourselves… of the bad habits that we accumulate when we are in a physical state. The masters cannot do that for us. If you choose to fight and not to rid yourself, then you will carry them over into another life. and only when you decide that you are strong enough to master the external problems, then you will no longer have them in your next life.

We must learn not to just go to those people whose vibrations are the same as ours. it is normal to feel drawn to somebody who is on the same level that you are. but this is wrong. you must also go to those people whose vibrations are wrong… with yours. this is the importance… in helping these people. we are given intuitive powers we should follow and not try to resist. those who resist will meet with danger. we are not sent back from each plane with equal powers. some of us possess powers greater than others because they have been accrued from other times. thus, people are not all created equal. but eventually, we will reach a point where we will all be equal.”

The times and the manner of our birth and death. we choose our situation; we choose our time of passing over

“We choose when we will come into our physical state and when we will leave. we know when we have accomplished what we were sent down here to accomplish. we know when the time is up, and you will accept your death. for you know that you can get nothing more out of this lifetime.

When you have time, when you have had the time to rest and re-energise your soul, you are allowed to choose your re-entry back into the physical state. those people who hesitate, who are not sure of their return here, they might lose the chance that was given to them, a chance to fulfil what they must when they’re in a physical state.”

Our paste’s

“Everybody’s path is basically the same. we all must learn certain attitudes while we are in the physical state. some of us are quicker to accept than others. Charity, hope, fate, love… we must all know these things and know them well. it’s not just one hope and one faith and one love- so many things feed into each one of these. there are so many ways to demonstrate them. and yet we have only tapped into a little bit of each one. people of the religious orders have come closer than any of us have because they have these vows of chastity and obedience. they have given up so much without asking for anything in return. the rest of us continue to ask for rewards- rewards and justifications for our behaviour. when there are no rewards, rewards that we want. the reward is in doing but doing without expecting anything. doing unselfishly.”

Patience and Timing

“Everything comes when it must come. a life cannot be rushed, and cannot be worded on a schedule as so many people want it to be. we must accept what comes to us at a given time, and not ask for more. but life is endless so we never die; we were never really born. we just pass-through different phases. there is no end. humans have many dimensions. but time is not as we see time, but rather in lessons that are learned.”

The seven planes

“There are seven planes in all, seven planes, each one consisting of many levels, one of them being the plane of recollection. on that plane, you are allowed to collect your thoughts. you are allowed to see your life that has just passed. Those of the higher levels are allowed to see history. They can go back and teach us by learning about history. but we of the lower levers are only allowed to see our own life that has just passed.

 We have debts that must be paid. if we have not paid out these debts, then we must take them into another life in order that they may be worked through. you progress by paying your debts. some soles progress faster than others. when you are in physical form and you are working through, you are working through a life… if something interrupts your ability. to pay that debt, you must return to the plane of recollection, and there you must wait until the soul you owe the debt to has come to see you. and when you both can be returned to the physical form at the same time, then you are allowed to return. but you determine when you are going back. you determine what must be done to pay that debt. you will not remember your other lives. only the one you have just come from. only those souls on the higher level- the sages -are allowed to call upon history and past events. to help us to teach us what we must do.

There are 7 planes. 7 through which we must pass before we are returned. One of them is the plane of transition. there you wait. in that plane it is determined what you will take back with you into the next life. we will all have a dominant trait. this might be greed, or it might be lust but whatever is determined you need to fulfil your debts to those people. then you must overcome this in that lifetime. you must learn to overcome greed. if u do not, when you return, you will have to carry that trait, as well as another one, into the next life. the burdens will become greater. with each life that you go through and you did not full fill them, you will be given an easy life. So, you choose what life you will have. In the next phase, you are responsible for the life you have. you choose it.”

CONCLUSION

The book "Many Lives Many Masters" is a case study that describes how an American psychiatrist used hypnosis on a patient in order to elicit memories from the patient that the patient had previously repressed. Many Lives Many Masters may be found here. who is able to help himself in the process by aiding his patient. who is able to help himself by assisting his patient. Because of Catherine, he got the realisation that the conventional approach to treatment that he had been using, which included the scientific method and medication, was not the most effective way to restore his patients' health. Catherine was the catalyst for this realisation. This book examines hypnosis, regression therapy, the purported recalling of memories from previous lives, and messages from unseen spirit masters that are channelled through humans while they are under the influence of hypnosis. The author also explores the possibility that these memories were retrieved during a previous life.
