How the afterlife really works

Some excerpts from the book:

"Dr. N: Do you know of anyone who didn't want to be reborn again on Earth for any
reason?
S: Yes, my friend Mark. He said he had nothing to contribute anymore. He was sick
of life on Earth and didn't want to go back.
Dr. N: Had he lived many lives?
S: No, not really. But he wasn't adjusting well in them.
Dr. N: What did the teachers do with him? Was he allowed to stay in the spirit
world?
S: (reflectively) We choose to be reborn when it is decided we are ready. They don't
force you to do anything. Mark was shown he did benefit others around him.
Dr. N: What happened to Mark?
S: After some more ... indoctrination ... Mark realized he had been wrong about his
abilities and finally he went back to Earth.
Dr. N: Indoctrination! This makes me think of coercion."

"Dr. N: In the Ring, can you look at life on planets besides Earth?
S: I can't because I'm programmed for tracking time on Earth."

"S: It is cylindrical-very bright-it is above and all around us. The cone is small at the
top and wide at the bottom, so it fits over all of us-like getting under a great white
cap-we can float under the cone in order to use it.
S: The top funnels energy down as a waterfall in a spreading circle around all of us
and allows us to really concentrate on our mental sameness as a group.
Dr. N: And what do you feel when you are under the cone?
S: We can feel all our thoughts being expanded ... then drawn up ... and returned
back ... with more knowledge added.
Dr. N: Does this intelligent energy help your unity as a group in terms of more
focused thinking?
S: Yes, it does.
Dr. N: (deliberately confrontational) To be frank with you, Allum, I wonder if this
cone is brainwashing your original thoughts? After all, the arguments and
disagreements between you and the others of your group are what make you
individuals.
Dr. N: Who operates the cone?
S: Those who watch over us."

"Dr. N: Explain to me how this pulling process works which will take you to your
destination?
S: I am riding on a wave ... a beam of light.
Dr. N: Is this beam electromagnetic, or what?
S: Well ... it's similar to the bands of a radio with someone turning the dial and
finding the right frequency for me.
Dr. N: Are you saying you are being guided by an invisible force without much
voluntary control and that you can't speed things up as you did right after death?
S: Yes. I must go with the wave bands of light ... the waves have direction and I'm
flowing with it. It's easy. They do it all for you.
Dr. N: Who does it for you?
S: The ones in control ... I don't really know.
Dr. N: Then you are not in control. You don't have the responsibility of finding your
own destination."

"There are always the same six Elders in front of me who wear long white robes. Their faces are
kindly, and they evaluate my perceptions of the life I have just lived and how I could have done better with my talents and what I did that was beneficial."

But every soul has a say in what kind of life it will experience, who its parents are going to be, what the major milestones, challenges and lessons are going to be.

I've heard so many people say the same thing; or alternatively, "I didn't choose to come here."

Oh, but you did -- and you will again. Newton's clients said that there's no apprehension from souls about their next life; on the contrary, they all look forward to it because it's their means of evolving, and because it's all a big, fun adventure.

The gist of it is that our mission here on Earth to overcome fear and its outgrowths, i.e., hatred and anger, as well as develop our capacity for love and compassion, show courage, gain knowledge about ourselves, seize opportunities that offer themselves to us and go with the flow. Stagnation = bad. Change = good.

Wow -- talk about selective quoting! You just took things completely out of context from the book... e.g., when the guy talks about the cone and the therapist says it sounds to him like brainwashing, the guy gets really upset and says, now I feel offended, it's not like that at all; nothing is being done against someone's free will, etc.

My overall impression after reading his books was that it is very coercive. That's when I started saying 'just say Bno to reincarnation' and 'hell no I won't go (back)!'. Being firm about it should free you from their control. The afterlife has many religions and beliefs in the lower planes where people of similar beliefs stay together and reinforce each other' s wrong ideas until they finally figure out they are stalled and are motivated to desire and find something more.

I don't think it's just a matter of 'saying no'. You don't have a sayM about it, if that's the way it works. And I don't believe it has something to do with 'their' control. It's karma at work, they also call it the law of cause and effect. Of course at our level, on earth, it's difficult to understand how all this operates.

Complete BS. There's no rules folks. Reality is and will always be in the mind and it's whatever your beliefs about it are.

Reincarnation. Hmmm..... What's the point of loving anything if your just separated at death from your loved ones, brain erased and put back in another flesh and bone suit?

Stupid concept.

I hereby tell my ascended masters to go fuck themselves.

However, children who have been abused often grow up to become child a users themselves. That makes me think reincarnation wouldn't work either.

No rules ?
Here on earth we are living amidst rules set up by ourselves. They are called laws, whether you choose to obey them or not. Why would you think there are no rules other than those we set up ourselves, not to mention any rules at all ?

So, there are souls that choose to live with child abusers in poverty? What would that lesson be?
