PLR: A BRIDGE TO THE PAST? Over the last three years there has been a growth in the number of Hassfurtians undergoing a kind of therapy called Past Life Regretion. This process uses a combination of prayer, hypnotherapy and psychology to try and discover a persons past. Many believe the process allows a follower of Duality to connect with hidden memories of their past lives. The process was made popular after a TV Show featured some social media celebrities trying it. The majority of those undergoing the process are aged under 30. The process though has been criticised by some leading Priesthood members.
One of the leading practioners is Ursulla Andersson, a 54 year old former theology lecturer. She began doing PLR sessions around five years ago and has become a popular celebrity consultant. We spoke with her about the process. "Reading scripture it is clear that the soul contains memories. Think of it like a download. When a persons physical body shuts down it dumps its data from that life into its soul. The last download determines our Strata when we reboot. The problem is the soul has a series of firewalls. In some ways I do the work of a hacker seeking ways to find a route through these firewalls. Some people it is easy but others have dark secrets that they strive to hide." The process see's her undertake three steps, "First I interview the person to build up a picture of their emotional and psychological state. If I think here they could not handle dark news I do not proceed. If they make step two I hypnotise them and we can then essentially walk backwards through their rebirths. Sometimes this step can take many sessions depending on how many rebirths they have had. Lastly we work on learning from the lessons we discover so their life this time around can lead them to a higher Strata or home to the Two Gods." She estimates that she has carried out over 200 PLR's.
One of those she has worked with is model Katarina Heinze who posted one of her sessions on the internet. "I was fascinated at how I had reached were I was. I am an Ermwahl, but what had I done that made me worthy. I believe if I did the same again then perhaps I could reach the Gods. I heard of Ursulla so booked a session. WHile I was under her care I discovered that in my previous life I had been a father to three children, working hard as a steel factory worker. It took five years for me to be reborn but I have found that family, they are real people. Out of respect for them though I have and will not contact them. That is not the point of this process and I know some doubt it and I wish not to cause negative energy in a family. I have at times though been Guine, I am ashamed to say that during one life time I worked for a corrupt King of Hassfurt as one of their torturers. I saw horrid things in those memories but Ursualla talked me through them." Katarina is still meeting with Ursualla every few months as she believes that there are still doors closed to her. "When your under her care its like walking down a corridor with doors either side. For some reason you skip doors while others you freely opened. I want to make sure all my doors become open and I learn from past lives, after all experience can make us better and stronger people."
Some however believe this is nothing other than a scam. One of those is the well respected Priestess of Sandraudiga, Tabitha Ormendz. "The whole PLR is nothing but a scam. The Gods do not down load us. Our soul does contain memories of the past lives as the Gods discuss this with us when we die to determine how we are reborn. That though is the test. No two lives can be the same, so copying what you did with one life is not going to work again. People like Andersson are praying on the gullible and those who accept the influence of celebrity. If we could access all the memories of our past lives we will all have done things so horrible they would send us insane. The Gods protect us from this by giving us a fresh start each time. Thinking like Katerina does that you have families still out there from past lives could lead to very serious rifts within families. Personally I would ban the practice and charge Andersson with fraud."
The Ministry of Health has said though that while they recognise hypnotherapy as an alternative and "often useful" treatment they do not recommend or support PLR. A spokesman said, "We've seen around 500 more requests for PLR each year over the last three years. This year that has seen over 3,000 requests. We have not accepted a single one. Its a process I believe is expensive. (Andersson charges around $200 for a hour long session) It also has no recognised psychological value and so as a result we can not sanction the use of tax payers money. I personally have no issue with people taking an interest in the past but that's why we have history books. I suspect if we talk to people undertake the process many have connections with famous past figures. If people are only farmers, factory workers and the like they lose interest and Andersson will not get repeat custom."
Queen Karin also has in the past weighed in on the subject when contacted by a person saying they were her deceased aunt. "The message through the office came hesitantly as they were unsure whether to pass it on. It was an 18 year old girl. She was clearly being scammed, my aunt died only 16 years ago. I had my secretary write to apologise that she had been misled. It shows the lack of sincerity in this practice."
Andersson though defends herself saying. "In any profession their are those who scam and seek advancement the wrong way. Speak with my clients. Many of them have undertaken research and found the things I say can be verified. I also urge my clients to never contact family from past lives as they should focus on their new families, the people the Gods have given them now. We shall all be reborn so often we shall all one day be family with the Gods anyway."
