As you know, the departure point for much of my exploration has been the Near Death Experience, and the Life Review that many subjects experience supports what you have written above. As with so much in life, there seems to be both Free Will and Fate in life, and their mutually exclusive nature is really about perspective; if we could but see through the “Doors of Perception” we would see that there really was no conflict, that it isn’t “Either Or” but “And.” Exactly the significance of the Yin Yang symbol we saw at Avebury, Summer Solstice 2009.

In my exploration of the NDE I came across the work of Dr Michael Newton who was a regressionist who accidentally stumbled across the phenomenon of “Life Between Lives” – the state we return to between our various incarnations (whether on Earth of elsewhere – but that’s another story!). Everything in that book, everything, is in keeping with what you have said here – all of us have already made a pact to come here to experience various things, from the greatest highs to the lowest lows. And we are indebted in the most profound ways to our greatest life enemies and protagonists that have agreed to play their “onerous” parts for our edification. If you get a chance, pop over to the Amazon UK site and take a look at some of the reviews. In particular, look out for “I had an LBL Regression Session, 4 Aug 2009″ by a reviewer named Andy. Nothing like first hand experience! I just wish I didn’t find it so damned hard to leave my body!! My New Year’s Resolution 2010, without a shadow of a doubt.
