It is accepted and presented as fact by Dr Weiss, without challenge. Again, no questioning on how Catherine could presume that. Yes, she replies, Dr Weiss was her teacher in the year 1568 BC. – Dr Weiss asks Catherine if he appeared in her past life. Neither is any specific address given or asked, which could be factually verified. Throughout the book, Catherine never states and is never asked for a surname.

Why no surname mentioned? With a surname in more modern time such as the 18th Century, the existence of such a person could be verified. – Catherine states now that she is in the year AD 1756 and her name is Louisa. How precisely did she know? No details, scientific basis or substance are provided it was just presented by Dr Weiss as a fact. Why didn’t Dr Weiss question Catherine more closely about this astonishing claim? It could simply have been the result of Catherine’s vivid imagination. – In another hypnosis session, Catherine claimed that her daughter from 1863 BC, called Cleastra, was her niece in the present time called Rachel. Yet this date could not have existed at that time, so how could Catherine possibly have seen it? In later hypnosis sessions, Catherine was only able to reveal the date of her past life if she could “see or hear” it: so it makes a complete nonsense of history to be able to “see” a date that didn’t exist contemporaneously.

28 – In regressing under hypnosis an anonymous patient called Catherine to a “past life”, Dr Weiss claims that Catherine can “vividly” see that, “The year is 1863 BC”. Rather than a conventional review, I will go through some of the claims made in the book, page by page, and show how it's full of nonsense. The fact that he chose not to has, I believe, discredited his book as a work of fairy tale-like fiction. This is one of the worst books I've ever read - parading as a scientific analysis when it is nothing of the sort.ĭr Weiss has conducted his research without scientific protocols or peer review, yet as a 'scientist', Dr Weiss should have the skills and resources necessary to have conducted his 'investigation' properly and scientifically.
