Part Two

Reincarnation - New Discoveries

My Past Life Therapist, Bryan Jameison died in the year 2002 after having written four books on the subject of Reincarnation.

In the spring of 2013 I was rereading Guide Lights – Attune to Your Angels and Spirit Guides will to re-familiarize myself with it. As I reached the chapter on Reincarnation I felt a strong presence accompanied by a flash of light to indicate a Spirit visitor was with me. Bryan announced his presence and expressed his pleasure at being included in the book. In this first visit it was established that he was to be my new guide on the subject of Earthbound Spirit Entity Attachments and their troubled involvement with humans that would develop over the next few years. I was thrilled and honored to have his presence guiding me.

Bryan's, Spirit name is Dorgeck meaning 'Thunderstorm of Healing'. Before he passed from earth he accomplished Ascension and is now an Ascended Master, a very wise and charismatic teacher. He had learned much in the Universities of the Spirit realms since his death. His specialty of study was reincarnation and lost soul entity attachments. He had developed further expertise in these areas and had some jolting revelations that would unfold over the next two years as I became ready to learn deeper truths. It was during this period that I began working on development of my second book that Dorgeck co-authored: Soul Freedom Vol 1 - Healing from Earthbound Spirit Attachment and Haunting - Causes Symptoms and Solution.

Andrew Harvey is Founder Director of the  Institute of Sacred Activism, an international organization focused on inviting concerned people to take up the challenge of our contemporary global crises by becoming inspired, effective, and practical agents of institutional and systemic change, in order to create peace and sustainability. Sacred Activism is a transforming force of compassion-in-action that is born of a fusion of deep spiritual knowledge, courage, love, and passion, with wise radical action in the world. The large-scale practice of Sacred Activism can become an essential force for preserving and healing the planet and its inhabitants.

Andrew was born in south India in 1952, where he lived until he was nine years old. It is this early period that he credits with shaping his sense of the inner unity of all religions and providing him with a permanent and inspiring vision of a world infused with the sacred. He left India to attend private school in England and entered Oxford University in 1970 with a scholarship to study history. At the age of 21, he became the youngest person ever to be awarded a fellowship to All Soul’s College, England’s highest academic honor.

By 1977, Harvey had become disillusioned with life at Oxford and returned to his native India, where a series of mystical experiences initiated his spiritual journey. Over the next thirty years he plunged into different mystical traditions to learn their secrets and practices. In 1978 he met a succession of Indian saints and sages and began his long study and practice of Hinduism. In 1983, in Ladakh, he met the great Tibetan adept, Thuksey Rinpoche, and undertook with him the Mahayana Buddhist Bodhisattva vows. Andrew’s book about that experience, Journey in Ladakh, won the Christmas Humphries Award.

In 1984, Andrew Harvey began a life-long exploration and explication of Rumi and Sufi mysticism in Paris with a group of French Sufis and under the guidance of Eva De Vitray-Meyerovitch, the magnificent translator of Rumi into French. Andrew has written three books on that subject: The Way of Passion, The Celebration of Rumi and Perfume of the Desert, an anthology of Sufi mysticism. With Llewellyn Baughn Lee, he founded the Sufi Conferences, which have played a prominent role in uniting Sufis of all persuasions during the past six years. He has close connections with great Sufi teachers in America, Africa, India and Pakistan, and a very clear, comprehensive grasp of the state of modern Sufism in both the west and the east.

In 1990, he collaborated with Sogyal Rinpoche and Patrick Gaffney in the writing of The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying. In 1992, he met Father Bede Griffiths in his ashram in south India near where Andrew had been born. It was this meeting that helped him synthesize the whole of his mystical explorations and reconcile eastern with western mysticism.

Andrew has since lived in London, Paris, New York, and San Francisco, and has continued to study a variety of religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Christianity. He has written and edited over 30 books. Other honors he has received include the Benjamin Franklin Award and the Mind Body Spirit Award (both for Mary’s Vineyard: Daily Readings, Meditations, and Revelations). Among Harvey’s other well-known titles are: Dialogues with a Modern Mystic, Hidden Journey, The Essential Mystics, Son of Man, The Return of the Mother and The Direct Path.

An internationally recognized psychic medium, Frank Chodl identifies himself a healer and a teacher. A psychic is a seer who can see events that have happened in the past (clairvoyant), see thing as they are happening while not physically being at the same place (telepathic), and/or see things that will happen in the future (precognitive). A medium is a go-between; the conduit for interaction between persons living on this plane of existence and those who have died. “Yes, I speak to dead people. Or, more accurately, they speak to me and I translate for them.” A healer helps others to find that place within their selves where they can mend body, mind, and spirit. As a teacher with two Masters Degrees in Education, Frank shares insights with others in order to help them realize their own knowledge and skills.

Since he first became aware of his abilities when he was only eight years old, Frank has been delivering profoundly accurate and meaningful messages for people around the world. He has been observed by psychologists, parapsychologists, and paranormal investigators and has done readings for individuals and groups in private homes, historic inns and hotels, battlefields, cemeteries, the Forbidden City in Beijing, China, the Anasazi ruins in Colorado, Mayan ruins in the jungles of the Yucatan, and islands in the Bermuda Triangle.

Now he shares his experiences and insights with you so that you might gain a better understanding of your own path.
