"  After reading the information contained in this book { Destiny of Souls} I know it must seem cruel that the Utopia of our dreams does exist within all of  us but is blocked from conscious memory by amnesia.  When some of these blocks are overcome through hypnosis, meditation, prayer, channeling, yoga, imagination and dreams, or a mental state reached through physical exertion, there is a sense of personal empowerment.
Some 2,400 years ago, Plato wrote about reincarnation and said that souls must travel over Lethe, the River of Forgetfulness, whose waters produce a loss of memory from our true nature."

"Our higher Self remembers our past triumphs and transgressions in a selective way, whispering to us across time and space.  Our personal spirit guides endeavor to give us the best from both worlds, the ethereal and material.  Each new baby is given a fresh start with an open future.  Our spiritual masters wish to produce karmic opportunity without the constraints of our knowing those pitfalls we experienced in former lives.  They become more lenient in a selective way with amnesia as we engage in self-discovery.  This is our best route to wisdom."
