can do the same thing as humans on Earth, too …
    Dr. N: What can you do on Earth with your eyes that can also be done in the spirit world?
    S: When you look into a certain person’s eyes on the ground-even people you have just met-and see a light you have known before well, that tells you something about them. As a human you don’t know why-but your soul remembers.
    Note: I have heard about the light of spiritual identity being reflected in the human eyes of a soulmate expressed in a variety of ways from many clients. As for myself, I have knowingly experienced this instant recognition only once in my life at the moment I first saw my own wife. The effect is startling, and a bit eerie as well.
    Dr. N: Are you saying that sometimes on Earth when two people look at each other, they may feel they have known one another before?
    S: Yes, it’s deja vu.
    Dr. N: Let’s go back to Rachel in the spirit world. If your guardian did not project an image of herself in human form to you, would you have known her anyway?
    S: Well, naturally we can always identify each other by the mind. But, it’s nicer this way. I know it sounds crazy, but it’s a … social thing … seeing a familiar face puts you at ease.
    Dr. N: Seeing human features of people you knew in past lives is a good thing then, particularly in the readjustment period right after leaving Earth?
    S: Yeah, otherwise you feel a little lost at first … lonesome … and maybe confused, too … seeing people as they were helps me get used to things here faster when I first come back, and seeing Rachel is always a big boost.
    Dr. N: Does Rachel present herself to you in human form right after each death on Earth as a way of getting you readjusted to the spirit world?
    S: (eagerly) Oh, yes-she does! And she gives me security. I feel better when I see others I have known before too …
    Dr. N: And do you speak to these people?
    S: No one speaks, we communicate by the mind.
    Dr. N: Telepathically?
    S: Yes.
    Dr. N: Is it possible for souls to have private conversations which cannot be telepathically picked up by others?
    S: (pause) … for intimacy-yes.
    Dr. N: How is this done?
    S: By touch-it’s called touching communication.
    Note: When two spirits come so close to each other they are conjoined, my subjects say they can send private thoughts by touch which passes between them as “electrical sound impulses.” In most instances, subjects in hypnosis do not wish to talk to me about these personal confidences.
    Dr. N: Could you clarify for me how human features can be projected by you as a soul?
    S: From … my mass of energy… I just think of the features I want … but I can’t tell you what gives me the ability to do this.
    Dr. N: Well, then, can you tell me why you and the other souls project certain features at different times?
    S: (long pause) It depends on where you are in your movements around here … when you see another… and your state of mind then.
    Dr. N: That’s what I want to get at. Tell me more about recognition.
    S: You see, recognition depends on a person’s … feelings when you meet them here. They will show you what they want you to see of themselves and what they think you want to see. It also depends on the circumstances of your meeting with them.
    Dr. N: Can you be more specific? What different circumstances can cause energy forms to materialize in a certain way toward other spirits?
    S: It is the difference between your being on their turf or your turf. They may choose to show you one set of features in one place, while in another you might see something else.
    Note: Spiritual “territory” will be explained as we proceed further into the spirit world.
    Dr. N: Are you telling me that a soul may show you one face at the gateway to the spirit world and another image later in a different situation?
    S: That’s right.
    Dr. N: Why?
    S: Like I was telling you, a lot of how we present ourselves to each other depends on what we are feeling right then
