Yet, underneath the dirt, each person possesses within his or her breast a brilliant diamond with a thousand gleaming facets. It is disingenuous of Dr Weiss to compare his discoveries with that of Galileo or to claim that there is “considerable evidence” to prove life after death. It suggests that there are endless cycles of birth and death, as the soul continues its journey of growth and evolution.

This is one of the hardest books I've ever read because every time I think I can just power through and finish it, he says such complete rubbish, I have to laugh and put it back down again. The quote beautifully conveys the profound impact that faith can have on our emotional well-being, serving as a guiding light in our journey towards self-discovery and inner peace. Weiss believes Catherine is acting sincerely and is not experiencing a delusion; he finds the evidence she offers for reincarnation compelling. Again, no specific detail is garnered by the questioning of Dr Weiss that could have proved beyond doubt whether such a pilot actually existed; such as what was the pilot’s full name and rank and squadron?

Actually, it had taken her two months of courage gathering to make an appointment to see me even though she had been strongly advised to seek my help by two staff physicians, both of whom she trusted. To try to suggest that such “evidence” equates with the discoveries of Galileo is simply quasi-science aimed to hoodwink unquestioning and unscientific members of the public. I noticed that Catherine's stories located in places where European people live only and she was European people mostly in her past lives.

I think he plays on the fact that a lot of us want to believe in an afterlife, in the paranormal, etc. How is it that you say all are equal, yet the obvious contradictions smack us in the face: inequalities in virtues, temperances, finances, rights, abilities and talents, intelligence, mathematical aptitude, ad infinitum? This review makes plenty of valid points, if the novel presents itself as factual it should be executed that way, with details and quotes from the patient and peer reviews from other scientists.
