Many lives many masters

Book Review by: Maria Rita    

Original Author: Brian L. Weiss
This abstract was translated from MUITAS VIDAS MUITOS MESTRES
The true story of a famous psychiatrist, his young patient and a past lives therapy that changed their lives. What does happen
when a reknown psychiatrist goes public revealing his experience with a patient who, during sessions of regressive hypnosis, remembers her past lives? The surprising and mind boggling experience of this doctor - Dr. Brian Weiss - and his work with patient Catherine who, despite undergoing traditional treatment for 18 months, starts to show some improvement only after confronted with her previous lives. The huge difference between Dr. Weiss testemony and hundreds of others already published lays on the resumé of this respected doctor, graduated at Columbia University and Professor in one of the most prestigious american hospitals - Mount Sinai Medical Center. Brian Weiss, for a long time, remained reluctant about publishing his work. After all, the uniqueness of his experience was surely going to atract the vivid criticism of his colleagues if not of the entire scientific community. "Nothing in my life could have prepared me for this. I was completely astonished when those things occured." - confesses Dr. Weiss, who was taught to think as a scientist and a doctor, leading his work according to the traditional theories on psychiatric treatment. Catherine, her souvenirs of past lives, the advanced spirits who communicate "through" her patient, knocked down any skepticism on Dr. Brian Weiss. Scientific research in this area is only starting and is struggling against all the attacks common to every historical change. Galileu and Freud were not taken seriously in their time and yet, today, the scientific community accepts all their ideas. True, exciting, surprising and revealing. Many lives, many masters is the contribution of a respected scientist for the construction of a new scientific theory capable of answering questions that haunt humanity since the last few thousand years.
