In issue 2, we published an excerpt from Robert Schwartz's book and also a book review. We talk to the author to find out more about the background of writing the outstanding book.

1. How did you get the inspiration to do the book?

I started down this path in mid-2003 after I had my first personal session with a medium. The medium channeled my spirit guides, who told me that I had planned many of my greatest challenges before I was born. We then discussed why I had wanted to experience some of these challenges. This information allowed me to reframe many of the seemingly bad things that happened in my life. It was a healing experience for me, and I realized that an awareness of pre-birth planning could bring healing to others. So, I decided to write a book about it.

ALL MEGA LIFE CHALLENGES –Are Pre-Planned Before Birth!

A review by Betty L Khoo-Kingsley (author: Conversations with my Spirit Guide (1995) & Cancer Cured Naturally 2007)

So often, when something “bad” happens to us, it appears to be purposeless suffering. But what if our most difficult experiences are actually rich with hidden purpose – purpose that we ourselves planned before we were born? Could it be that we choose our life’s circumstances, relationships, and events?

In my research for my book Courageous Souls: Do We Plan Our Life Challenges Before Birth?, I found that the answer to this question is a definite yes. Working with four of the most gifted mediums and channels in the country, including one who is able both to see and to hear our pre-birth planning sessions, I’ve examined the pre-birth plans of dozens of people. These people planned such challenges as physical illness, having handicapped children, deafness, blindness, drug addiction, alcoholism, losing a loved one, and severe accidents. Courageously, they planned these challenges for purposes of spiritual growth.
