By a Dafa Disciple

Another of Dr. Weiss's patients, Elaine, suffered from occasional neck, shoulder and upper back pains, and her greatest phobia was her fear of heights. This is what she said during PRL, "I see darkness, and I realize that I have been blindfolded. Then, I see myself outdoors. I stand at the top of a Tower, one built with rocks and used as a fort. My hands are bound behind my back. I am about 20, and a soldier belonging to the side that lost. Then I feel a great pain in my back. I feel that I am biting my teeth tightly, my arms are stiff, my fists clenched. I had been stabbed, I can feel that I am pierced from the back, but I refused to show any emotions. I did not make any sounds. Then I feel that I am falling, and then I feel submerged under water." Some time after the therapy she said: "I was always scared of heights and floods. After I woke up from the hypnosis, I was still shivering, and was in extreme pain for the next few days. I was unable to touch my face because it was extremely painful. But after I woke up the next morning, I found that there were some changes, very major changes." She found that her back pain and fear of heights had disappeared. During the follow-on treatments, Elaine experienced a lifetime during the Middle Ages in France. She was a poor man in his twenties. Although he was innocent, he was accused of a crime and given the death penalty. He was hung in public. After recalling this lifetime, her neck pain disappeared.

There are so many amazing recoveries. For example, Dan was a business manager in his late thirties. He and his girlfriend Mary Lou were deeply in love. However, Mary Lou flirted with other men after drinking alcohol. Although she had not been unfaithful or done anything improper, her behavior often made Dan extremely angry. At times he fell into a rage and lost all his proper reasoning. During PRL Dan regressed to a number of life times and saw with consternation what he had done. He said: "I was stabbing her with a long knife. She was unfaithful to me so I killed her in great anger." The incident happened between the seventh and eighth century when he was an Islamic warrior. Dan also killed Mary Lou in two other previous lives. He abandoned her, because of poverty or of being in trouble, during several prior lives. They both also played other roles, such as family members, friends and enemies, and sometimes their sexes and roles were reversed. Dan recognized and learned from his past destructive behavior and his anger was replaced by understanding and love. The Chinese people have many sayings, such as, "People who are not enemies won't gather." This is quite reasonable. The purpose for gathering is to redress past wrongs or repay a favor received. If one is unable to right the wrong or repay the favor during the next lifetime, one will meet again during subsequent lifetimes. Metaphorically speaking, isn't it just like students who repeatedly take tests, before finally passing them? Since Dan found the causes of his fury and anger through PRL, he was able to change his behavior and he most likely will not repeat what brought the two together in this lifetime.

Dr. Weiss also recounted a regression session done by another doctor, Dr. Robert Jarmon. The patient was a young business manager. He exhibited a rather strange behavior during full moon. He would become more and more anxious and then terrified. He said during PRL: "They are about to catch us. We must be very cautious. Tonight there is a full moon." During PRL he remembered one prior life as an American soldier. He was captured while on active duty, battling the Germans in Europe during World War II. His last memory was that of being shot from the back by a German soldier while he was facing a river, looking at the reflection of the moonlight on the surface of the river. The patient even recalled his name and the time, place and college he attended. His wife searched the records of that time, based on his recollection and found that there was indeed such a person who graduated from that college, except the time was off by one year. This patient no longer exhibited his strange behavior after this PRL session.

Dr. Weiss told of many successes of this type of therapy in his books. Many of his and other doctors' patients no longer appeared to exhibit the same behavior and no longer experienced symptoms after causes were found during regression therapy. Some causes were from the present life time, but the majority of causes were found to be from prior lives. Dr. Weiss's was amazed at what he heard during the PRL sessions, how this recollection had affected the lives of patients, and how it changed the future of his patients. Dr. Weiss also found that he could recall prior lives during times of great inner peace and calmness. These memories of past lives occasionally flashed through his mind and he could visualize them. It was like in a movie. During one of his lives, he was a high priest with great powers. He was certain that he was that priest. He looked into the priest's eyes and understood what this man thought and also his feelings. He wore a colorful robe and stood outside a building not of this era. While observing the environment, he heard the word "Ziggurat" in his mind. But he did not understand the meaning of the word. This High Priest had been idealistic when young, however, as his power grew, his good inborn nature changed and he hungered for fame and gain. He was also not immune to lust. He apparently regretted deeply his self-centered behavior on his deathbed, as he suddenly realized that everything was for naught, and that he couldn't take his power or wealth with him. Yet, it was too late for him to regret for wasting his opportunities during that life. Shortly after, while resting at night, Dr. Weiss remembered the word "Ziggurat." Surprisingly, he found it in the encyclopedia.

One can find on the Internet the description of a Ziggurat. "Ziggurat is a Sumerian word given by the ancient Babylonians and Assyrians to their temples around 2200 until 500 BC. The word means "terraced pyramid," and ziggurats were precursors to the Egyptian pyramids. Found in many ancient Mesopotamian cities, ziggurats were step-shaped, representing the ascent into the heavens where the gods reigned. The outside was constructed of materials that were resistant to the elements, and the terraces were often landscaped with shrubs and trees." The most well known Ziggurat's are the, Ziggurat of Marduk (Tower of Babel) and the ziggurat of Ur-Nammu.

During another lifetime, in the Middle Ages, Dr. Weiss was a prisoner in a region that is known today as Europe. He was imprisoned in a dungeon because he promoted what were considered at the time "blasphemies". Specifically, he talked about reincarnation, which meant that humans lived prior lives. He died after several days of ruthless torture. Isn't it surprising that again in this life, Dr. Weiss researches and discusses reincarnation and speaks about prior lives? None of this is strange or unbelievable to a cultivator of the orthodox universal law. Isn't it surprising that when the orthodox law is taught in public that such research comes to light?
