| '''Spirit world''' is, in the model of the American hypnotherapist [[Michael Newton]], the realm where, by the accounts of his clients in the superconscious state, the soul dwells between earthly incarnations. Newton built up his picture of the spirit world by synthesizing testimony from thousands of [[Life Between Lives (method)|spiritual regression]] sessions. | |
| | |
| == General character ==
| |
| According to Newton, the spirit world is neither "heaven" nor "hell" but an ordered environment for learning and development: the soul returns here after the body's death, undergoes restoration, meets its group and guides, reflects on the life it has lived, and prepares for the next incarnation. Newton stressed that in his observations there is no hell, eternal punishment, or devil.
| |
| | |
| == Structure and "places" ==
| |
| In Newton's accounts the spirit world has a recognizable "geography" (all names are from his books):
| |
| * '''the gateway''' and '''tunnel''' — the soul's transition immediately after death;
| |
| * '''the intermediate zone''' (a distribution "hub") that the soul reaches first;
| |
| * '''the place of healing''' — restoration of the soul's damaged energy;
| |
| * '''[[Soul Group|one's own soul group]]''' — "home," a cluster of related souls;
| |
| * '''the library''' with "books of life" — records of lives lived;
| |
| * '''the [[Council of Elders]]''' — where the soul appears before wise guides;
| |
| * '''the [[Ring of Destiny]]''' — the space for selecting a future life;
| |
| * '''the City of Shadows''' — isolation and restoration of heavily "damaged" souls;
| |
| * '''the Space of Transformation''' and the "incubator," where, by these accounts, new souls appear.
| |
| | |
| == Inhabitants ==
| |
| The spirit world is populated by souls themselves, distributed across [[Soul Levels|levels of development]] and [[Soul Group|groups]], by [[Spirit Guides|spirit guides]], by members of the [[Council of Elders]], and by souls with specializations (healers, ethicists, guides of newly created souls, and others).
| |
| | |
| == The soul's path ==
| |
| The typical sequence according to Newton: death → gateway → meeting with a guide → healing → return to the group → the Council → selection of a new life in the Ring of Destiny → a new incarnation, with loss of memory of the spirit world.
