Publisher's summary

I first heard about “a council of elders” in Michael Newton’s books and in his interview for my film Flipside. Michael was a therapist who had thousands of reports about the afterlife. Since his interview, I’ve found other accounts of “divine councils” in psychologist Dr. Helen Wambach's book Reliving Past Lives, and descriptions of “wise beings” in the near death accounts from Dr. Bruce Greyson's book After. It sounds like some sci-fi concept based on legal courts. Etheric judges in robes passing sentences in the afterlife? My use of the word "court" is tongue in cheek.

In the over 100 examples I’ve filmed of people accessing their “councils”, they report wise teachers who don’t “pass judgment” per se, but act as ombudsmen, like professors conducting a doctoral thesis; asking pointed questions about what a person learned during their lifetime versus what they said they’d planned to learn.

Newton observed people reported “two visits” to their council. One prior to incarnation, a kind of “preproduction meeting” where individuals go over what they have in mind or planned to learn, then a “return visit” after the lifetime, where they experience a “past life review” of what they did or did not accomplish.

During the "life review", people report they experience firsthand all the good or bad they did in their previous lifetime. This can be disconcerting for some, making the experience feel like a “courtroom” where they’re being judged. All those in attendance report seeing them experience the pain, suffering, or trauma they inflicted upon others. People report experiencing these events first hand, while the council, sometimes an entire auditorium of participants, watches the person squirm for the mistakes they’ve made. In essence, it is a “judgement day” as the person experiencing the life review gets the benefit of seeing how these events were part of a person’s overall journey over many lifetimes.

It could include events that had a genesis in a previous lifetime, a story point being paid off in this one–or for some to realize events had been “requested” by others asking for help. In these “past life reviews”, one could argue that it’s akin to experiencing “hell” because the person feels the pain, trauma, and suffering they inflicted, but from the perspective of their victims. But this audiobook isn’t about judgments.

I was more interested in exploring and demonstrating that “everyone has a council” and “anyone can visit their council”. One doesn’t have to have a special ticket or a near death experience to get in–doing simple guided meditation can allow access to one’s council.

It’s easier for a person to visit their council with the benefit of a hypnotherapy session. The multi-hour sessions done by Newton Institute therapists often include visits to their “council” for advice that can help them on their journey. But people who can meditate, visualize, or comment on things in their minds are capable of visiting their councils as well. Hypnosis is not required, but helps.

It’s not opinion, theory, or belief that people visit their councils. In this experiment, the majority of people had never visited their council before.

The story continues.

I have listened to all of Rich's books several time. Each time there is something new I pick up. I would love to have a session with him but for now will expand my thinking through his books and pod cast. Let the books continue and thanks so very much. I guess I' m not nuts!!

Amazing Storytelling

I loved this book and, as usual, Richard again demonstrates his amazing capacity for storytelling. Equally significant, Rich generously helps those he works with to feel comfortable reaching out to the unseen entities around them, to seek guidance and facilitate connection, when they likely would not have had the opportunity or courage to do so. Thank you for all you do, Richard; you give depth to the lives of everyone around you, and you do it with respect. When does the next book come out??

So much great information about the afterlife!

Thanks to Richard Martini we have an idea of the afterlife guidance offered by our Divine Council. I have listened all of Richard’s books on what happens between lives. I am a true believer! I have listened to some recorded Akashic Records meditations; and sometime I hope to be guided through a live regression. Thanks Richard!
