Lives within lives, life after life (audio)

Moss got sick as a child and left his body, lived a long pleasant subterranean life with beautiful pale people where he was a shaman, passed away, and found himself in the child's body he left.

Growing Big Dreams (Moss)

Robert Moss created Active Dreaming, an original synthesis of modern dreamwork and shamanism. He survived three near-death experiences (NDEs) as a child, which provided him with early access to other realms and dimensions.

He leads popular seminars all over the world, including a three-year training for teachers of Active Dreaming.

Reincarnation is real?

Celestial beings in the East are called devas.

Psychologist and past life regression therapist Linda Backman discussed rebirth, past lives, and the time that a gandhabba ("soul") spends between incarnations — both earthly and interdimensional — as well as visitors from deva (angelic) realms.

Her knowledge comes from clients and consistent information they share during past life regression sessions. Our purpose is to grow and learn and evolve as we reincarnate in a series of lives as part of this process.

There are various types of souls, including "interplanetary" or "starseeds" who mostly incarnate on other planets [in the "human realm" in Buddhist cosmology that includes countless humanoid worlds]. There are others that come from deva realms who at times visit Earth.

They "generally don't incarnate at all, serve the divine [Brahma]," and are ambassadors of the "love and compassion energy."

Humans typically incarnate with the same group of 10-15 souls in a kind of "soul pod," and this may include loved ones, close friends, and mentors. After death, the time between rebirths [in the liminal state called the Bardo Thodol in Tibetan Buddhism] can vary.

Backman estimates that it's usually from six months to five years, depending on what the soul [in consultation with very wise guides] feels it needs. She further explained that at the moment of death, a soul is assisted in the "leave-taking process" by deceased loved ones who ease the movement into the higher realm.

Professor Roger Straughan has researched issues surrounding the afterlife, looking at the differences and conflicts between psychical and religious approaches to the continuation of consciousness after death.

British researcher Robert Crookall compared reports from mediums, out-of-body experiencers, and other sources, and found that the immediate stages of death are very much like the dream state, where created elements might resemble an extension of the person's concerns in life. More + AUDIO
