My Comment on Clif High's "Life, Death, and All That Stuff"

Clif High Substack Post_1 February 2023

Clif, whom I’ve been following since 2004, when I first heard him on Coast to Coast AM radio, wrote briefly, on 1 February 2023, about one of his three near-death experiences. He wondered if everyone’s experience was similar.

Oh, yeah, Clif. I think you still have plenty to do here, to be a guiding light. And somehow, you are so unique a sentient being that I would personally think your prefinal-death experiences were like no other.

In general for those afraid of death or just curious, I earnestly suggest you read or give a listen to (the Audible version of) Journey of Souls by Michael Newton. Here's the link to part 1, which is > 4 hours long and read by a pro):

The info Newton compiled for this first of two related books draws from more than 7,000 client regressions. There's a shit-ton of information about the types of passings and how the released soul gets home. For example, many clients said they—the soul, aka the elan vital—were able to escape the body BEFORE the moment of impact, as in, for one example, a careless driver who went off a cliff (no pun intended) on a California coastal highway and didn't wait to hit the ground before leaving.

Newton was a psychologist. Before an accidental discovery via a patient under hypnosis, he'd gone only as far as regressing clients to childhood to see if he could uncover the root of their emotional injury or a chronic physical pain. (And nope, he did not lead the clients; transcripts and tapes exist. Dr. N. died in 2016.)

These are literal case histories of the experiences of our fellow travelers at the time of death in a previous incarnation, after the release of the soul, and—most interestingly, to me—our time in spirit between corporeal lifetimes.

The reason I suggest this book is because I personally think it needs to be among the trove of information in the minds of those still forming their take on life and its partner, death. For me, this book and book two were an outer validation of many beliefs I'd arrived at and held for ages, and other, unfamiliar experiences of the clients just resonated with me. All the answers we’ll ever need are within, so the outer validation was for me like a cherry atop a sundae: not necessary but a nice little pop of yum.

One last item. The second book, Destiny of Souls, has an inset of black-and-white line drawings. They are symbols on "medallions" (quoted because nothing is solid in spirit) “worn” (projected on the “screen of space”) by teachers or are symbols that represent soul groups, and they were drawn by the people whose stories are included in the book. I myself cannot draw (or play an instrument, though I can read people like a book and that's all). There were, however, two doodles I had been scribbling since high school (in the year 1). Imagine my surprise—heart-attack-making shock—when I saw both doodles included in the inset!

If any of the experiences recounted in Journey of Souls resonate, then great. If not, the book will open your mind to many possibilities . . . The one thing to remember is that you don't have to be trapped by karma. Mark 11:24 for Christians and that and the Science of Mind, New Thought, Florence Scovel Shinn, Neville, etc., for the spiritual free-ballers and commandos.

In the words of Mr. Spock and Clif: "Live long and prosper!" (unless you are a pederast or similar POS whose soul needs remixing).
