Ring of Destiny (so named in Destiny of Souls; called the place of life selection in Journey of Souls) is, in the model of the American hypnotherapist Michael Newton, the place in the spirit world where, before a new incarnation, the soul previews and selects its future life and body.
Description
By the accounts of Newton's clients, the Ring of Destiny is a dome-shaped space with large "screens" surrounding the soul; the soul can not only observe scenes of a future life but also "enter" them, trying on a body and circumstances. Several options are usually offered (often only two or three) of bodies from the same historical period; for a more difficult incarnation there are more options and details.
Who takes part
The scenes, according to Newton, are prepared carefully in advance by special beings; in Destiny of Souls he calls them Time Masters, and also mentions coordinators and controllers. The soul's personal spirit guide and members of the Council of Elders take part in the preparation and discussion of the choice.
Free will
Newton stressed that the choice is voluntary: the soul is shown only fragments of a possible future, and the outcome is deliberately concealed — so as to preserve free will and the value of the choice.
