A noble risk,
By
This review is from: Stories of the Unborn Soul: The Mystery and Delight of Pre-Birth Communication (Paperback)
'Stories of the Unborn Soul' by Elisabeth Hallett'Stories of the Unborn Soul' by Elisabeth Hallett is a delightful book. Recounting the true and intimate stories of parents and others, the reader is invited to share in the mystery and delight of pre-birth communication. Written in an elegant and yet highly objective style, Hallett entices us on a journey, taking as her starting point an invocation from Socrates: 'Of course, no reasonable man ought to insist that the facts are exactly as I have described them. But that either this or something very like it is a true account of our souls and their future habitations - since we have clear evidence that the soul is immortal - this, I think, is both a reasonable contention and a belief worth risking; for the risk is a noble one.' The journey thereafter is of the homesick soul drifting through universal consciousness, reminiscent of Plato's 'Phaedrus', in search for its pre-chosen parents in order to manifest as a human being in this life. Short, manageable chapters thus describe the soul's rite of passage, from the first shivering signs tasted in a distant dream of a mother, through intuitive soul connections experienced between mother and foetus in pregnancy, and the final and mutual recognition instinctively felt between parent and child. As Kathy, a grown woman with pre-birth memory recounts at the end of the book: 'I remember coming here in spirit form, coming together into the body form and reluctantly floating down to this planet. This powerful experience from before my birth has affected everything I am today.' 'Stories of the Unborn Soul' is not however a sickly-sweet collection of wishful thinking. Not only are there wonderful touches of humour, Hallett manages to balance the stories of personal experience with appropriate use of scientific research, giving the book factual and intellectual gravitas. Moreover, Hallett includes chapters on Miscarriage and Abortion, commenting that there are many unresolved mysteries in the search for understanding the human condition: 'I am . . . For what seems like forever, I am only aware that I am.' Suffused with profound reflections upon the greatest questions of all - Who am I? and where do I come from? - 'Stories of the Unborn Soul' is a book worth risking, for the risk is indeed a noble one.

Expanding our own souls,
By Lesta Bertoia (Barto, PA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stories of the Unborn Soul: The Mystery and Delight of Pre-Birth Communication (Paperback)
Readers of this comprehensive collection of soul-comunication stories are encouraged to expand their own soul awareness not only by the intimately revealing experiences of the many contributors, but also by the exquisite poetry and profound insights of the author/editor herself. Elisabeth's writing suggests a life-long familiarity with the greater Reality that is being opened up to all of us -- it is another profoundly welcome contribution to the awakening of Consciousness in every area of human existence.

Awesome collection!,

This review is from: Stories of the Unborn Soul: The Mystery and Delight of Pre-Birth Communication (Paperback)
When I was pregnant three years ago, I read Hallett's books "Soul Trek" and "In the Newborn Year", both of which are FAB books. Now this collection is out and it's amazing. What is most interesting to me, is the fact that Hallett includes not only the "happy la-la" stories of pregnancy, but also the realities of loss that some face. And there is healing here in that acknowledgment and recognition of parenthood in all its forms. Thanks, Elisabeth!
