Regressing the Future

The future has a way of arriving unannounced. In two days, tomorrow will be yesterday.

Past-life regression involves placing a person under hypnosis and prompting them to regress back through their childhood to a time before they were born. In many cases, the person is able to recall his/her life (or lives) before the present lifetime, as well as their experience between lives, including the planning of their present life.

This method is sometimes used to deal with a current health problem. The hypnotherapist is often able to "reconfigure" the past-life experience of the patient, causing the psychological or physical ailment to disappear.

Many hypnotherapists specialize in past-life regression, including Dr. Adrian Finkelstein, Dr. Dick Sutphen, Dr. Edith Fiore, Dr. Joel Whitton, Dr. Roger Woolger, Dr. Hazel Denning, Dr. Winifred Lucas, etc. Many have written books on this subject, including Dr. Brian Weiss who wrote MANY LIVES, MANY MASTERS in 1988. It sold 1.5 million copies.

Dr. Helen Wambach, Ph.D. Psychology, had been a skeptic of past life regression. In 1975, she initiated a study on over 10,000 people to find out if there was any truth to reincarnation. The results were remarkable.

1) 50.6 percent reported past lives as males, 49.4 percent as females. The exact biological percentage.

2) The variation of people within upper and lower income groups was exactly the same class distribution proportionality within historical time periods.

3) The incidence of "famous" people was extremely rare.

4) Recall of everyday life (food, clothing, shelter, daily life, etc.) was highly accurate according to historians.

5) In some cases, the person being regressed remembers details of incidents with astonishing accuracy which are verified by historians.

6) In some cases, the person regressed begins to speak in an unlearned foreign language (old dialect).

7) In some cases, the alleged cause of death in an immediate past life is reflected by a birthmark in the present life.

"I don't believe in reincarnation; I know it." she boasted, in 1978, after being dazzled at the results.

Dr. Chet Snow, of Sedona, Ariz., was trained by Dr. Wambach in the early 1980s. Eventually, Dr. Snow and Dr. Wambach pioneered a new technique of hypnotically "progressing" volunteers into future lives.

Dr. Wambach died in 1985, but Dr. Snow continued the project. There were 2,500 subjects who were projected into two specific epochs: 2100-2200 A.D. and beginning in the year 2300 A.D.

Only 5 percent of the subjects experienced a lifetime within the first epoch and 11.5 percent in the second.

Dr. Snow concluded that there will be a massive drop in the world's population, perhaps as great as 90 percent, between now and the 2100-2200 time frame. However, the population will then double by 2300.

This dramatic reduction in global population has all the signs of a world-wide phenomenon of some sort. Perhaps the expected December 21, 2012 event of the solar system traversing through the Dark Rift (the center of the Galaxy) at the end of the great 25,627-year Astrological Age (procession of the equinox) will somehow dramatically affect life on Earth.

Some people believe this event will usher in a collective change in human consciousness whereby deserving souls will ascend into the fourth density (a higher astral plane), leaving the STS (Service To Self) humans behind to remain struggling within the third density Planet Earth. Others believe this event may cause massive earth changes (earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, tectonic plate shifts, magnet anomalies, etc.).

One of the remarkable findings about Dr. Snow's future-life study project was that out of the 500 possible future lifetimes there were only four probable futures in the 2100-2200 era.

1) Some people (space voyagers) would be living on sterile space stations or colonizing other planets
2) Some people (organized city dwellers) would be living in underground or domed hi-tech cities
3) Some people (New-Agers) would be living in ecological-friendly communities in temperate zones
4) Some people (survivalists) would be living in urban ruins or caves or isolated, rustic settlements

In the years 2150-2300, there would be an emergence of clans or tribes of people born with enhanced telepathic and psychic abilities. Ironically, the New Agers in natural surroundings reported to be the happiest of the four groups and by 2300 the space voyagers seemed to have advanced beyond our solar system.

After 2300, there will be a period called the "Outward Wave" where humanity will no longer be bound by the solar system and the concept of 3-D reality will be overshadowed by an evolution of human consciousness. This will also be the beginning of the human race evolving toward immortality.

And if I had to guess, the national debt will be $999 gazillion by 2150 and Congress will be in recess.

If I come back, I sure don't want to live in a space station or an underground city or a domed city. I'll probably be a survivalist, scavenging for food, carrying a big stick, fending off outlaws and laying low.

In other words, my life will pretty much be like it is now. Living in Arkansas is good practice for the future.

How interesting to utilize hypnotic work to access the future. While it seems like a stretch to conceive of the living conditions in this future and may make us uncomfortable, I think we need to keep in mind that our souls will have evolved in the interim to the point that we are able to accommodate to this living style. As a past life therapist, I believe that as we heal past life legacies (my term), we will increase the evolution of our souls. While I respect the hypnotic approach, I come at this work from an energy psychology perspective, specifically Evolving Thought Field Therapy. However we look at this, I believe it is so important to open our minds to new challenges. So glad you broadened the field.
