Past life regression and future life progression
According to Weiss, in 1980 one of his patients - "Catherine" - began discussing past life
experiences under hypnosis. Weiss has stated that he did not believe in reincarnation at the time
but, after confirming elements of Catherine's past-life stories through research into public records,
came to be convinced of the survival of an element of the human personality after death.

Since
1980, Weiss claims he has regressed more than 4,000 patients.
Weiss advocates the therapeutic benefits of hypnotic regression, noting his belief that many
present-life phobias and ailments are rooted in past-life experiences that - when acknowledged by
the patient - have a curative effect on the present-life condition. Weiss also writes about
the messages received by the Ascended masters he claims to have communicated through his
subjects.
