Brian L. Weiss, M.D., in his book Through Time Into Healing had a beautiful way to explain what past life recall is:

” When you feel better as a result of a past life recall experience – whether a physical symptom has been alleviated, an emotional issue soothed, or you simply feel more confident and peaceful about your life and its direction, you don’t need to question the logical validity of the experience. You know it has empowered you to improve the quality of your life in a very tangible way…It is exhilarating when you realize how much greater you are than your current, confined ego or personality. The real you, the immortal you, is the you that is present from body to body, from life to life. How exciting it is to meet yourself! ”
