I thoroughly enjoyed Diana Paque's extremely articulate and illuminating video interview in this month's issue. Thank you for consenting to do it Dr. Paque. I most enjoyed how she so poignantly and forthrightly shared her own remarkable soul journey in this lifetime to where she is now. It gives me hope as I exit my 7th decade of what has been to date a rather bizarre, twisted, and self-indulgent lifetime of alcoholism/addiction and worse (23 years sober). After reading Dr. Michael Newton's book, “Journey of Souls” on the advice of a channeling friend, I signed up for the quarterly newsletter. Enjoying the back issues and rationing them out until Dr. Newton's 2 other books arrive that I ordered. Working my way a 2nd time through Journey. Some of this information I was aware of from my abortive study of Eckankar and other esoteric readings over the past 40 some years. I also have had some unintended and unwanted glimpses of what I believe are a few of my Akashic records that I did not really enjoy at the time as a very young, immature man. Knowing bits and pieces is not the same as the a guided tour of “life after death” and the Dr. Newton's perspective to put years of cultural and religious conditioning into context with soul's view. I don't see any of your therapists that live close to me in Indiana, but I would have to wait to save up money for a reading, probably by Zoom anyway. Thank you for your mission, all of you.

Dear TMNI, I would like to thank you for the newsletter, the online magazine about LBL case studies. I learn a lot from these. After having read all LBL books from Michael Newton, there are still many unanswered questions. Stories help to clarify many of these. I would like to recommend an experiment, to try to gather some case studies from LBL therapists who know or suppose that they are working with a person with Asperger's Syndrome, or with other words, level one autism (autism spectrum disorder/ASD level one). Our brains work differently, and usually, traditional psychotherapy methods are not tailored to our nervous system and the Aspergerian “personalities”. So many of us live with a lot of confusion with because in many cases even psychology does not have the right tools to recognise us, and to properly work with us. Seeing from a higher perspective about why patients got/asked for their ASD condition for their life, would be most interesting. I hope you find this kind and humble recommendation or request worthwhile to try it out.

Yours sincerely, Balint from Hungary
