Hello, this is Dr. Brian Weiss, and I'm back here on YouTube to answer more of your questions.
It's been a while, and we've been receiving questions throughout, so thank you for this
opportunity. At this time, also, I'd like to announce the new book that my daughter,
Amy, and I have written. A lot of your questions will be answered in this book. I'm showing
it now. This is the new book, "Miracles Happen: The Transformational Healing Power of Past-Life
Memories." It's an account of people's incredible and miraculous experiences in workshops, or
listening to CDs, or in other ways. People have written in, and I have commented on all
of the cases. Together, we have created this book. It will be available October 2, 2012,
in English, and soon to be available in many different languages after this date. So if
I'm not getting to your question, I'm sure many of them will be answered in the new book.
I want to start now with these questions. I want to thank, first of all, awgarwood,
who thanks me for giving hope to people. I appreciate that. That's one of the things
that other people have told me about. I think it's very important to keep hopeful. It's
been my experience, over many years and decades of doing this past-life regression therapy,
that we find out that people are souls and not bodies, that they don't die when the physical
body dies, we go on, we are reunited with our loved ones, all the things that we have
been talking about here over the past year or two. This provides hope to people. This
is not the end. This is just part of our journey, part of our spiritual process and progress.
So we should all keep hopeful, because there is always hope. Now to get to the questions.
From SeptemberEleven1990, the question is: "How can you love someone without a physical
body? How do souls feel love in a non-physical space?" I think that it's important to know
that when I talk about love in this unconditional way, it's not only physical love or romantic
love. That's part of love, of course, and a very important part. But you can love people
in spiritual form, of course. We are all spiritual essence: souls. This is a kind of unconditional,
absolute love that does not end with the death of the physical body. This love is forever.
So we love on the other side, we come back here, we recognize our loved ones again in
many different relationships. This kind of love never stops. It is an absolute energy.
We write about this in the new book as a kind of energy that's the building block of all
of the universes and of all that is, the fundamental energy that is behind all of our creation
and our manifestation. This energy of love. It is a love that possesses wisdom, a consciousness
beyond the brain. All of these aspects of love go beyond the physical, and include the
unconditional, the metaphysical, all dimensions, spiritual and non-physical dimensions. So
love doesn't stop; love keeps going on. And it's perfectly okay to talk about the love
of souls. The next question comes from katkrull, and the question is: "Ever since I started
reading your books about four years ago, I have increasingly become more in tune with
my spirituality. I have become more aware of energy around me, and I actually feel tangible
energy. Also, recently I have started to become psychic, and this ability is growing. Have
you seen this before in other people? Is this common?" The answer is yes, it's very common.
We all have psychic and intuitive abilities, far beyond what we usually use. With practice,
these abilities can become more focused and more developed. But I also think it's important,
even though these abilities can save us from danger and help us discern our spiritual path,
to know that our goal is not just mastering psychic and intuitive abilities. Our goal
is to reach an enlightened state of peacefulness and unconditional love and awareness. This
is the important part: our spiritual development. Along the way, we develop and hone these psychic
and intuitive abilities, and this is a good thing, and we should use these abilities.
But the end is not the abilities; that's not the goal. The end is a spiritual enlightenment.
The abilities will become stronger as we go along. The last question is about prayer and
the law of attraction and mind over matter. This comes from PhilAlexandros. He asks: "What
do the masters say about prayer, the law of attraction, mind over matter, and other ways
we have to attempt to better our lives? Can we change ourselves, our destiny, and our
chosen path or lesson, or is it set in stone no matter what we do?" To Phil and to many
others who keep asking this question, even though it's addressed in the books, I understand
that this question will keep coming back. We have many possible futures. We may decide
to live two or three or four lifetimes in one. That's perfectly fine. That's okay. There
is a destiny: the key people in your life that you meet, perhaps very important points
or destiny points in your life. These will happen. But what we decide as we reach these
points, this is our free will. As you use your free will to progress along your spiritual
path, you'll be changing the future: future lifetimes, the future of the present lifetime,
all of these things. It is all the one path, the spiritual path, that takes us to our true
destiny, which is to become enlightened, to not have to come back involuntarily anymore,
to live lifetimes learning our lessons, but to come back in our highly developed state
voluntarily to help other beings to progress along their spiritual paths until we all graduate.
That is really the goal. It is good to not think of yourself as fixed in stone, because
you can skip grades. This would be like going from the fourth grade to the seventh grade
or the eighth grade or the ninth grade, that kind of thing. You can accelerate your progress;
you can slow it up. This is up to you. In the end, we will all graduate, and our task
is to help every other being to graduate as well. This concludes this session. Thank you
very much, and we'll be speaking again in the future through this YouTube channel.
