This is a fascinating story about two people who went to Dr. Weiss for past-life regression therapy. There are many levels of soulmates, and Elizabeth and Pedro were of the deeper kind. They had spent many lifetimes together, sharing a great love, but in this lifetime they were strangers. Chapter by chapter we see the story of these two souls, aching to find each other, coming closer and closer, like two streams converging into a mighty river. Finally, Dr. Weiss sees the connection between them, but what is his duty as their therapist? Is it his place to play matchmaker, or should he leave it up to the fates to decide?

For anyone who fears to never find love in a barren world, or who has lost someone very dear to them, Dr. Weiss's book on the persistence of love and relationship beyond the threshold of death will be of great comfort.

When a soulmate arrives they can see the real you. The you beyond the mask and the scripts and the roles you play. Even if you have spent a lifetime creating a persona behind job titles, social connections, money, life experiences, etc ... they will see through it all in an instant. You cannot run and you cannot hide no matter how hard you try. You also cannot forget them even if you were to run to another place in the world and get really caught up in other things. Soul connections, especially cultivated over lifetimes, are beyond time and space or any lengths humans go to deny what is the truth. Dr. Weiss eloquently explains here that you are not crazy ... you are simply connected to a soul mate. A fascinating book on the nature of soul love and why its ok to never forget that person despite it all. One of my friends in San Francisco who is both a medical professional and an alternative medicine practitioner mentioned this book to me. It certainly shed a unique notion on some of my own life experiences. Some people are easier to forget even if you cared. Why? They may have been a "contract or project" mate instead of a soul mate. A contract mate is one who is in your life to push you forward and live out a growth lesson with. So when its complete (the assignment) it only takes a bit of time to be back to your usual self. A soul mate is far more than that ... they are the people who often bring you back to your essence... the real you that you may have run from in pain as a youth. It's like ugly duckling plain Jane who was the social outcast in a small town and found herself on top of the world in an international city being the toast of the town, the Queen of the scene, and talked about. Despite a persona of urban hip sophisticate success story with a personality to boot ... along comes the boy next door who sees the real her, the girl who liked poetry and arts and crafts festivals. It's startling and it can be scary. Hence, why they can see you in a way others can't. After pretending for years to be a certain type of person socially ... I met a soul mate ... and no matter what I did... he cut right through it and called me on it time and time again. It was frustrating but inevitably enlightening.
