\u201cThe purpose of writing this book is not to convince you of the absolute reality of pre-birth planning, but rather, in my desire to be helpful, to offer an idea that has helped me greatly. I only ask that you consider such a possibility. You do not have to believe in the concept in order to benefit from it. You only need to ask yourself: \u2018What if? What if I really did plan this experience before I was born? Why, then, did I do so?\u2019 Merely asking these questions gives new meaning to life\u2019s challenges and sets us on the path of self-knowledge. This path does not require a special belief in spirituality or metaphysics, only an interest in personal development and the acquisition of wisdom.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nThis is a book that, if read with an open mind, can radically change one\u2019s perception of life. After reading it, it is difficult to look at one\u2019s life in the old way, because we begin to interpret what happens to us very differently. We find that instead of thoughts of complaint and self-pity, we more often ask ourselves questions such as: \u201cWhat is the meaning of what is happening to me now? What lesson can I learn from this life experience?\u201d<\/p>\n
I like this book because it does not encourage blind belief in a theory that has not been scientifically proven, but provokes reflection on the search for meaning in our lives. It helps us seek and find solutions where other theories do not help. It shows how things might look when seen through the prism of the Bigger Picture, where life and death turn in an eternal cycle. It encourages us to step out of the victim mentality and take responsibility for our lives, and shows how to develop the most important qualities \u2013 love and wisdom.<\/p>\n
If you read it, you will understand that \u201cthe planning we do before we are born is detailed and multifaceted. It includes the selection of life challenges, but is not limited to them.\u201d This thesis is supported by empirical material obtained through the study of the life plans of dozens of people, in collaboration with mediums who have access to information about the realms between incarnations. The book presents the stories of about a dozen of them, each of whom has had a reason for great suffering in life \u2013 such as serious illnesses, congenital deafness, alcoholism, accidents and injuries, the loss of a loved one.<\/p>\n
These are by no means easy destinies! The spiritual perspective and the understanding of life difficulties as pre-planned challenges on a non-material level, however, radically changes the point of view. Instead of victims of an unjust fate, these same people are \u201ccourageous souls\u201d \u2013 heroes who have consciously chosen a harder path than others.<\/p>\n
\u201cGreat courage is required to live in alignment with the plans made before our birth. My wish, my most heartfelt wish, is that you recognize the tremendous courage you show every moment of every day, as with each breath you reaffirm your decision to make use of your challenges and learn from them. Through this recognition, you will discover your soul.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nRobert Schwartz<\/em><\/p>\nIt is not necessary to believe in the spiritual dimension of life in order to recognize the benefit of this book. We can easily discover it if we ask ourselves: \u201cWhat kind of person would I be if these difficulties in my life had not happened? What different kind of person would I be now if my life had been easier?\u201d If you manage to see this \u201cdifferent,\u201d you are already on the way to seeing yourself as one of the \u201ccourageous souls.\u201d<\/p>\n
This is truly a wonderful book that restores our dignity as spiritual beings and reminds us that worldly success and spiritual attainment can be very different \u2013 and even opposite \u2013 things.<\/p>\n
