Author Bio

 

In a personal session with a medium in 2003, author Robert Schwartz

was astonished to speak with nonphysical beings who knew everything

about him - not just what he had done in life, but also what he had

thought and felt. They told him that he had planned many of his most

difficult experiences before he was born. Realizing that a knowledge

of pre-birth planning would bring great healing to people and allow

them to understand the deeper purpose of their life challenges, he

devoted the next three years to studying the pre-birth plans of

dozens of individuals. The extraordinary insights that emerged speak

to our heartfelt, universal yearning to know . . . why.

 

 

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.

 

Of the many people with whom I've spoken, there was only one

who did not plan his challenge before birth. Yet, like everyone

else, he did choose it. In Bob's case, he made his choice shortly

after birth, when an accident occurred in the hospital. The

following comes directly from Bob's session with the medium (Staci):

 

" The [spirit] guides were immediately by Bob's incubator side,

waiting for him to slip out of body and into that state of

consciousness where the spirit or astral body is released. They knew

it was going to happen quickly.

 

" My spirit guide wants us to start with the chessboard, the

planning board. It's a chart on which the steps of growth and

development are plotted through one's life, so that the soul has a

visual reference. This board is like a flow chart. A flow chart is a

question. If the answer is yes, you take one path. If the answer is

no, you take a different path.

 

" When this accident happened to Bob in the incubator . . . the

phrase I'm hearing is `back to the drawing board.' Bob and two of

his spirit guides got together and went back into the room with the

planning board to diagram the alternate path that would be taken to

still achieve the soul's goals for this lifetime.

 

" They're showing me the instant he [bob] found himself back in

spirit in the planning place…..very disoriented by this rapid and

huge change and surprised to find himself there. He did not realize

what was happening to the infant body. He recognizes his guides,

trusts them implicitly, and is totally willing to be guided.

 

" I'm hearing one of the two guides, who is speaking for both of

them, telling Bob that there has been a mishap in a procedure and

that Bob's brain has received too much oxygen. Bob appears to be in

a state of shock about this—quiet, eyes wide, pupils dilated, numb

and glum.

 

Spirit guide: The nurse involved in the operation of the tubes

attached to your crib, where your physical body is even now, has

made an error and has allowed too much of the elemental oxygen to

flow through. This has elevated the oxygen levels in your brain, and

damage is occurring.

 

" I see them showing Bob his eyes, the baby's eyes. Bob's

spirit, while attached to the baby's body, is out of the body. As

they speak to him through telepathic thought, his mind's eye sees

those eyes. They show him the damage and how the eyes will look as

he proceeds through childhood and into adulthood.

 

Spirit Guide: There is no damage to the brain; it is to the eyes.

There is an increase in your intelligence. Though it is a minor

increase, it will serve you well. You now have the option to

reevaluate your plan for your life to see if these changes will

serve your purposes. If you so desire, you may withdraw from this

body, return to us, reevaluate a new host family, and draw up new

plans.

 

" Bob fires off a lot of questions rapidly to his guides. He

asks about his ability to walk. He wants to be reassured that his

body will still be able to function as he expects. They assure him

that it will. Then he asks:

 

Bob: What about my work?

 

Spirit Guide: This will be accomplished.

 

Bob: Will this handicap impede my evolutionary process in this

lifetime?

 

Second Spirit Guide: Let's see.

 

" Between the guides and Bob, in the middle of the air, is the

planning board for his old life on the bottom, a transitional

planning board above that, and above that the board for Bob's life

as it will be after this change. These boards are like a hologram—

filmy in appearance, not solid. Their thoughts create these boards

and draw lines on them. Lines represent the process of growth.

 

" A diagram forms. There are little branches along the way. Some

of them are houses. For example, the home his family occupies at the

time of his birth, the home they move to, and the places he occupies

in adulthood, even college, are mapped out on this board. It all

happens very quickly.

 

" With their thoughts, they move elements from one board to

another. The first thing they take from the original planning board

to the transitional board is his mother.

 

Spirit Guide: Let's begin with your mother. She will remain in this

life with you and will continue to be your mother.

 

Bob: That's good.

 

" Bob looks reassured. He takes a deep breath and lets out a

sigh [of relief].

 

Spirit Guide: Your father . . .

 

" They move him from the original board to the middle board.

 

Spirit Guide: He will still be with you.

 

" Very quickly other elements are moved—family pets, relatives,

things like that. They all go to the transitional board. As the

guides move these elements to the transitional board, they also

appear on the top board.

 

Spirit Guide: These elements are unchanging and will remain a steady

influence, focus, and force in your life. But your teachers will

change. This school [points to a school element on the lower board]

is no longer relevant because of your condition. You will now be

going to this school [points to a school element that suddenly

appears on the transitional board]. This school will serve your

needs best and will give you the guidance you need to live in the

world under these conditions. Next, let's take your friends.

 

[End excerpt]

 

As Bob's session with Staci continued, we heard he and his spirit

guides do a great deal more planning regarding many different

aspects of his life. In the end, Bob decided to accept the

additional life challenge of blindness rather than return to spirit

to plan a new life.

 

I believe that an awareness of how we plan our life challenges can

completely change the way we view them. Wisdom may be acquired in a

more conscious manner; negative feelings are replaced by acceptance,

forgiveness, peace, and gratitude.

 

Ultimately, regardless of our challenges, we deepen our appreciation

of life as a soul-expanding, evolutionary process.
