MEMORIES OF GOD

AND CREATION

When we pray, we speak to God, but when we meditate, we allow God to speak to us and guide us. Through meditation, we can also get in touch with our soul: that piece of God that is in each of us and is a storehouse of knowledge and wisdom. It is our inheritance, and through meditation, we can tap into that knowledge, which no books, no science, no teachers, or gurus can teach us.

Introduction: The Beginning

For all those readers who have not read my first book, Remarkable Healings, I would like to give some background information about myself and how that book and the present one evolved over the years. I am a board-certified psychiatrist and have been in private practice for about twenty-five years. When I was doing my psychiatric residency, I realized there was no single treatment that worked for every patient. Medication works, but not for every patient, and because of the side effects, it can make some patients more dysfunctional than they were before medication. Traditional talk therapy helps only a small percentage of patients. I saw many patients going from doctor to doctor and from hospital to hospital, searching for relief from their symptoms. During my residency, I strived to learn various treatment methods such as individual psychotherapy, group therapy, family therapy, marriage counseling, psychodrama, transactional analysis, hypnosis, and hypnotherapy. I wanted to use them with patients to suit their needs for healing. Over the years, 1 used hypnosis and hypnotherapy with good results. Hypnosis allows patients to uncover the underlying subconscious reasons for their emotional, mental, and physical problems. The unresolved problems are brought from the subconscious mind to the conscious mind, and by recalling, reliving, releasing, understanding, and resolving the unresolved traumas and issues, the patient can be free from their long-standing problems, often in a few sessions. Over the years of my psychiatric practice, I always felt good about the quality of my work and the results I had with my patients. I was able to help them with a combination of different treatment modalities, according to their needs. But still there were some patients for whom I could not do much except use medication and supportive psychotherapy. So J continued to search for ways to help my patients. About fifteen years ago, one of my patients, Martha, age thirty-four, came to me with severe, long-standing claustrophobia, depression, suicidal preoccupation, and severe panic attacks several times a day, every day. During these panic attacks, she had difficulty in breathing, palpitations, dizziness, feelings of intense fear and apprehension, and a fear of dying. I began to treat Martha with medication and psychotherapy, which helped her somewhat, but her claustrophobia, depression, and panic attacks continued. During a session, I asked Martha about the last time she had a panic attack. All of a sudden, she became anxious and said, "Doctor, I am having one right now," and she started to gasp for breath. I asked her to close her eyes, focus on her emotional and physical feelings, and allow those feelings to take her back to another time, to the source of her problems when she felt the same way. As she focused on her feelings, she slipped into a self-induced trance state. I thought she would probably remember a childhood incident when perhaps she was locked in an attic, closet, bathroom, or a small room from where she could not come out. Instead, she said she was in a different time, a different life, and a different body as a young girl. "I am in a coffin," Martha cried. "They think I am dead! They are closing the lid. I am afraid to die, but what if they close the lid of the coffin and I do not die? Then what am I going to do?" I was taken by surprise, but I let Martha continue the story and release the emotions associated with it. When she came out of this self-induced trance state, she looked puzzled but relaxed, and her panic attack was completely gone. During the next session, she reported she was free of her claustrophobia, depression, and panic attacks. I was pleased with Martha's dramatic cure. None of my patients had ever regressed to another life before. I wondered if any other psychiatrist or hypnotherapist had patients who regressed to former lifetimes. As I searched the medical literature, I found there were many books written on the subject and there were many therapists across the country who were doing what they called "past-life regression therapy." I realized past- life regression therapy is just a continuation of age regression therapy, only it takes the patient back further, into another life, to a traumatic event that caused the problems in the current life. I began to use past-life regression therapy in combination with other traditional therapies and often obtained fast and dramatic success in relieving patients' symptoms. Another patient, Connie, suffered from asthma, and also could not tolerate anything being close to her neck. Under hypnosis, as I asked her to move back in time to the source of her problems, Connie found herself regressed back to the time of her birth. She reported that the umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck and she could not breathe. During the next session, Connie told me her asthma was better but she still could not wear anything around her neck. Again under hypnosis, I asked her to go to the source of her problem. She found herself in another time and another life, when she was a man who was hanged. After releasing the emotions and the physical feelings associated with it, Connie was free of her asthma and was able to wear necklaces and button her blouse all the way up to her neck without discomfort. I found many symptoms in patients that had their source in one or more past lives. Usually psychosomatic disorders, deep-seated personality problems, and immune disorders resulted from past-life traumas. Symptoms such as depression, anxiety, fears, phobias, panic attacks, premenstrual symptoms, sexual disorders, eating disorders, perfectionism, obsessive- compulsive disorder, headaches, fibromyositis, arthritis, other aches and pains, skin conditions, asthma, and allergies often have their origin in one or more past lives. These are described in detail in Remarkable Healings. Another patient, Breana, age fifty, came to me for depression and abdominal pains from which she had suffered off and on for several years. Her physical examination and laboratory tests were normal. She wanted to try hypnotherapy for her abdominal pain. As I asked her to focus on her symptoms and let those feelings take her back to the source of her abdominal pain, Breana found herself in another time and another life when she was a man in 1974. It did not make any sense to me because Breana was fifty years old, so this could not be her "past" life. As I asked Breana to check and see what was going on, she became emotional and said that the man was the spirit of her father who died in 1974 of stomach cancer, and his spirit was in her. I was very surprised. I tried to communicate with her father's spirit through Breana. He said that after the death of his body, his spirit came in to comfort his daughter because she was sad, but he got stuck in her and could not come out of her. He claimed his daughter was suffering with his depression and his abdominal pain, from which he had suffered before his death. They were transferred over to Breana. He also said that there are many spirits of other people in Breana, but he did not know them. I did not know what to do with the spirit of Breana's father. During past-life regression therapy, after the death of their physical bodies in a past life, patients often report seeing angels and their departed loved ones in the bright white Light coming to help them. So I asked Breana's father to look up and tell me what he saw. He claimed to see brilliant white Light, and his own deceased mother in it, wearing a long white robe. She looked young and healthy and not sick or old, as she was before the death of her physical body. I asked Breana's fatherand all the other people in Breanato hold his mother's hands and the hands of the angels who were there, and to go to the Light (Heaven). Breana said her father and the spirits of other people who were inside her went to the Light along with her grandmother and the angels. After the session, Breana was emotional about seeing her deceased father and grandmother. She was sad about him leaving, but she felt happy and at peace, knowing that they were not really dead and that they both were in Heaven. She had no doubt about what she saw and experienced during that session. During the next session, Breana reported she was free of her long-standing depression and stomach problems. They were her father's symptoms that were transferred over to Breana after his spirit came into her. I was surprised to find that spirits of deceased people can come into people and affect them physically, mentally, and emotionally. Many questions ran through my mind. Breana's father and the spirits of other peoplewere they real or was she fantasizing about her father because she missed him? Maybe this was her way of grieving and letting go of her father? But what about the strangers? If it was all her fantasy, then how was it that her long-standing depression and stomachache were relieved after that session? If the spirits were real, then why was it that none of my patients ever reported them before? Could it be that there were spirits in other patients too, but we had not recognized them? I did not know. All I knew was that my patient was now free of her symptoms after only one session. Since then, hundreds of my patients under hypnosis have reported finding human spirits inside themselves, separate and distinct from their own soul. These spirits are reported by my patients as the visitors, what we call the attached or possessing earthbound spirits that did not make their transition to Heaven after the death of their physical bodies and that have remained on the Earth plane. These "guest" spirits in my patients could be conversed with through the patients. They often claimed to remain on the Earth because of strong emotions, such as anger, hate, love, fear, jealousy, or the desire to take revenge. They also remained earthbound because of unfinished business, obsessive attachment to a person, place, or an object, or addiction to drugs, alcohol, food, gambling, or sex. These earthbound human spirits claimed they could enter my patients when the energy fields (aura) around their bodies were weakened when they were physically sick, during anesthesia and surgery, when they had been knocked unconscious, or after an accident. Emotional conditions such as anger, fear, hate, depression, anxiety, and grief can also open a person's energy field (aura). Many human spirits claimed to join my patients when they were using drugs and alcohol or playing video games, listening to loud and disharmonious music, using Ouija boards, doing automatic writing or channeling without protection, sitting in a seance, or playing conjuring games such as "Dungeons and Dragons" and "Demons." I realized that everybody is potentially open for spirit entry because we all get sick; have surgery; accidents; become angry, anxious, depressed and afraid; or use drugs and alcohol. Unfortunately, most people are not even aware of having any spirits in their bodies and auras. These possessing earthbound human spirits are like cosmic hitchhikers on the road to Heaven. They use humans like a motel, coming in like uninvited houseguests with all their "baggage" of physical, emotional, and mental problems that are transferred over to their hosts. When these spirits are released during treatment, they take their problems away with them, thus freeing the patients of their symptoms. Another patient, Nick, a thirty-five-year-old man, came to me with frequent migraine headaches, depression, and chronic fatigue, which he'd had since he was a teenager. During a session, as he focused on his headaches, Nick saw a "black blob" in his head; it claimed to be a demon, a disciple of Satan, who sent it to Nick to cause him problems. I was shocked. The only exposure 1 had had to demons was through the movie, The Exorcist, and my patient was not behaving like the character in that film. The only change I saw in Nick when the "demon" spoke through him was a change in the tone of his voice and the appearance of an angry expression and arrogance on his face. Nick normally was soft spoken and polite. The only logical step, it seemed to me, was to continue the dialogue to find out more about this so-called "demon." It claimed to have entered Nick when he was using drugs and, once in, it caused him headaches by pressing on his brain, blood vessels, and nerves; it also stated that it caused Nick depression and chronic fatigue by siphoning off his energy. As this demon began to talk, Nick's headaches became very intense. At this point, Nick said the room was filled with a bright, white Light and with many angels, who put a net of Light around the black blob, the demon in his head. It did not like the Light and claimed that Satan told all demons to stay away from the Light because it would kill them or make them disappear. According to Nick, the angels twisted the net around the black blob and asked it to look inside its core. As the demon reluctantly looked inside, it claimed to find a spark of Light in it, and as it focused on that spark, it began to grow. The demon's darkness began to dissipate until it became a ball of Light in just a few minutes. The transformed being seemed to be shocked and described feeling a peace and joy it had never felt before. It apologized to Nick for causing him problems and thanked me for helping it. According to Nick, the angels said that this transformed being is a being of Light and needs to go back to Heaven, and that they could take the being there. Nick watched this in amazement. He was surprised to realize that his splitting headache was relieved after the entity was transformed into Light. He also saw angels cleansing, healing, and filling his head with Light where the demon was. The next week Nick reported he was free of depression and headaches and that he was feeling more energetic. I did not know what to think of that session, but I was glad Nick was free of his symptoms. My mind was filled with many questions. Was the demon Nick described in his head real or a figment of his imagination? Maybe his subconscious mind made up this fantastic story so he would not have to be responsible for his problems. But if it was just his fantasy, how could this cure his headaches and depression? I realized it did not matter. What mattered was that Nick was free of his symptoms. Traditional psychotherapy and medication did not give this kind of dramatic cure. For the next fifteen years after that episode, hundreds of my patients reported having demons in them that were responsible for their emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual problems. Releasing these demons from them cured their symptoms. I learned that every organ, every part, and every cell of the body can be infested and inflicted by these demons. They claim to cause aches and pain, numbness, weakness, and diseases in every part of the body by pressing, scratching, and squeezingdirectly or indirectlyand by using different demonic "devices" created by them for these purposes. The demons also claimed to be the single most common cause for most psychiatric problems. They claimed to cause depression, anxiety, panic attacks, violent angry outbursts, suicidal and homicidal thoughts and behaviors, sadomasochistic behavior, fears, phobias, hallucinations, paranoia, and delusions. They project their anger, hate, paranoia, arrogance, fear, desire for power and position, and violent sadomasochistic behavior onto the patients, who then act and behave in the same way. They also claimed to cause people to curse, use obscene language, and desire to use drugs and alcohol. Heavenly beings have often said through my hypnotized patients that these demons are as real as they are, but they are of negative energy and are responsible for most of our personal, marital, social, emotional, mental, and physical problems. According to the angels, doctors, psychiatrists, and all the health professionals should pray daily for protection and guidance, because they do not know what they are dealing with when they work with patients. My hypnotized patients have consistently stated that these demon spirits have great powers, but with the help of God and heavenly beings, we human beings can be more powerful than Satan and his demons. Demons have only as much power as we give them. In contrast to what most people believe, Satan and his demons operate within limitations. Under hypnosis, my patients also reported seeing their souls located in their chest area. They described the soul as an immortal energy essence, a part of God in each of us. It empowers the body, which cannot live without it. At the time of death, the body dies, but the soul continues to survive, retaining all its memories. Patients also reported that with mental, emotional, and physical trauma, the soul fragments into many pieces, creating holes in the soul, which in turn cause a weakness of the body and the energy field. This makes a person vulnerable to spirit entry. These soul parts can remain in the body as what we call in psychiatry as subpersonalities, alter personalities, or the inner child. Some soul parts can go to different people. Our husbands, wives, parents, children, and other relatives and friends are the most frequent possessors of our missing soul parts. Some patients who have been abused claimed that their soul parts are in possession of their abusers, causing them continued fear and emotional turmoil. In these cases, patients are negatively influenced by the abusers' experiences, behaviors, and problems. Patients also claimed that many of their soul parts are in Satan's possession in hell, where demons manipulate a person's thinking, attitudes, and behavior, and cause the person different emotional, mental, and physical symptoms through these captive soul parts. Patients also reported that they have soul parts of other living people in their possession. These soul parts act as possessing earthbound spirits and influence patients physically, emotionally, and mentally. Treatment is usually at a stalemate until these soul parts are returned and integrated with their rightful owners and all the patient's missing soul parts are brought back and reintegrated with them. This is particularly true in cases where Satan and his demons are the possessors of patients' soul parts. Discoveries such as these marked the beginning of an exciting journey looking deep into the subconscious for the reasons for mental, emotional, and physical problems. I began to understand that there are several sources of patients' problems, that is, current life traumas, including birth and prenatal traumas; past-life traumas; possession by human, demon, and other spirits; and soul fragmentation and soul loss. By recognizing this, we can understand that any emotional, mental, or physical problem in fact is a disease of the soul. To heal the mind and body, we need to heal the soul, by removing all the possessing earthbound (human) and demon spirits and the soul parts of other living people. Then we need to heal the traumas from the current and past lives by recalling, reliving, releasing, and resolving them and by reclaiming all the lost soul parts from those traumas and integrating them with the patient's soul. By healing the soul, we can heal the physical body of its emotional, mental, and physical problems. Belief in past lives, reincarnation, and earthbound (human) and demon spirits is not at all necessary, either for the patient or the therapist, for the therapy to work. The only requirement is that the patient be willing to go through the experiences provided by their subconscious mind in order to resolve their symptoms. After many years of doing this therapy, I examined the charts of one hundred patients whom I treated with spirit releasement, past-life regression, and soul integration therapy, and noted various pieces of information. The conclusions of that research were surprising, if not shocking, even for me. Some of the conclusions were as follows:
