Chapter 5 Summary

Catherine continues regressing through lifetimes during sessions, at one point indicating that somebody named “Robert Jarrod” needed Weiss’s help. Catherine continues to remember her past lives vividly but never remembers the messages from the Masters in the in-between. Weiss invites his wife Carole to attend the next session with Catherine’s permission and decides to tape record it. Weiss muses that perhaps “the entire process, not just the memories themselves” (65) could explain Catherine’s recovery. He also wonders if re-experiencing traumatic injury in a past life could be harmful in the present, but “this was a new frontier; nobody knew the answers” (67).

Finally, Catherine channels another Master. This Master explains that there are many souls, including other Masters, who occupy various dimensions. They say that there are different planes of existence, and “each one is a level of higher consciousness. What plane we go to depends upon how far we’ve progressed” (68). They explain that bad behavior or “vices” (68) follow you to the next life until they are resolved and recommends that people should spend time with different kinds of people “whose vibrations are wrong […] with yours” (69). People all have inherent powers they should be using and which they carry throughout their lives.
