What Danny is saying is that it's rather interesting that all his patients are consistant with this color schema.
How consistent?! And do many of them know this story, as you and Danny do?

Apparently I can take a test to determine my soul color:

What is your soul's color?

Or these:

Personality Quiz: What is your Soul color?

Please tell me the indigo color isn't related to the Indigo Children nonsense?

I am also conscious that extrapolations back to 10^(-34) sec from the big bang, are utterly dependent on the current theories, which may in turn be wrong when extrapolated that far.
Yes, all possible. Is this an excuse to propose all manner of nonsensical crapola?

No this is a quite separate question on which we might well agree - I mean, unfortunately, it does seem to me that theoretical physics is a house of cards. If my hunch is right, and physics has to incorporate fundamental consciousness, the reformulation might affect all manner of things - particularly at extreme extrapolations, but even quite ordinary alternatives, such as MOND, could presumably crash the whole edifice.

What do you mean "how consistent"? They are consistent. Meaning the same/similar. You can see for yourself. There is a whole chapter related to it if you're interested in reading about it.

I would suspect that no, they did not know about soul colors. These regressions were done before his books were published, obviously. Even if, by some small chance, some of them had heard of soul color before that doesn't explain how ALL of them do.

I can see you're trying to make this silly. Those quizzes are irrelevant and for fun. Obviously, not to be taken seriously.

Technically, no. The person who created the Indigo Child concept was someone who said their aura's looked indigo. Dr. Newton said soul color has nothing to do with aura's or anything like what people claim to see on earth.

You mean the line of discussion where I refer to material you haven't read but like to argue against.

I think professional hypnotist would agree that hypnosis isnt dreaming.
It can create a fantasy story if the subject is suggested to imagine one.

The common stuff is rather limited. The light at the end of the tunnel. Feeling peace and love as you move towards the light. Meeting you relatives in the spirit realm.

Thats what most know about the afterlife + their own religious beliefs.

Most people, even with keen interest in the after life wouldnt know details like;
Where is the "guide" usually positioned in regards to the soul during the council meeting and what purpose does that serve.

Theres no god-realm in our culture, as far as I know. Theres just "heaven" and thats where the souls and god reside. Dont you think it's a little odd that non of Newtons subjects never met god or even Jesus or Buddha?

You think everyone would have that same exact reasoning under a "dream like state", as you suspect it to be? Highly unlikely.

Is this chapter available online?

Oh, I see. There's serious soul color and then there's silly soul color.

Thank Ed for just a little bit of rationality.

I've simply asked how consistent it is. Rather than telling me, you assign me some homework. I'll get to it as soon as I've shlogged through Weiss. Which Newton book should I buy?

Wow, they all know this? I'm impressed.

Not if that's not part of the story. Is it part of the story? Is there any story where I'm supposed to meet god after I die?

It depends where the hypnotist leads them. Does he lead them to the god-realm?

I don't understand where you going with this. Hardly anyone describes god. Why does that lend credence to the idea that people are really recalling past lives?

Okay, so I downloaded the first pdf linked in majinrevan's post #367. I search for the word "council." It occurs nine times, not once in a quote from a subject. The words "council meeting" appear only once.

Then I searched for "guide." It occurs seven times in quotes from subjects and over 60 times in quotes from Newton.

Where's the consistency?
