I recently published the book, The Garden of Recycled Souls, which tells the story of an unusual experience I had in 2023 while visiting the area around the 500-year-old Ross Castle in County Meath, Ireland. My journey to understand what I saw took me on an 18-month journey that ultimately led to a past-life regression session.
As I tell the story in the book, I continue to remind the reader of my ongoing skepticism of all things spiritual, mystical or paranormal. I couldn’t bring myself to commit to the idea that I could be walking around with an eternal soul that had inhabited other bodies throughout history.
I finished the book last fall, and it was published in early December of 2024. Immediately another strange thing started to happen.
Many readers of the book began reaching out to me to share their own past-life memories. Instead of people treating me like I was crazy, I had people asking me about the past-life regression process and how they could go through it. Instead of skepticism piled on top of my own skepticism, the readers simply accepted my story as the truth.
It is the truth. I tell it exactly as it happened to me. It was important to me that I stayed always truthful and let the reader decide. I’m sure there are some who have read my story who remain skeptical and that’s fine.
I make a point in the book to draw a line between what is known versus what is believed. Again, this was my way of remaining objective about my experience.
It has been almost one year since I went through the past-life regression session, and I have successfully confirmed many of the details of one of the lives that came through that day. I have met many people who I would not have met as I’ve made this journey into understanding the concept of past-life memories. A new world of interest has opened for me.
What I have determined is that the skepticism I have held onto is slowing fading away. Each day it is easier for me to accept, as truth, the knowledge that our souls are eternal, and they inhabit different bodies.
This slow realization has had many benefits. I find that I am more at peace. I am more patient. I hope I am more compassionate and empathetic. I see myself differently, as a person with many dimensions.
As we move into a time in our history that will be full of many conflicts and disasters, finding comfort in the unknown crevices of my soul will get me through whatever this life may put in front of me.
I wrote this book first to document the process I went through to understand the ghostly vision I experienced in Ireland. I ultimately published it in hopes that it would open a dialog for others to explore their own past lives. In that sense it has been a success.
The Garden of Recycled Souls is available on Amazon or wherever you purchase your books.
