Wednesday, 8.10.2008. Time 00.00.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013You gave up medicine. Why?\u2013<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013It was fate. I was a plastic surgeon and in 1988 I took some holidays. One evening, why having meditation on the seashore, my life changed. I knew for sure that I had to give up surgery and dedicate myself to surgery of the soul.\u2013<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013At the beginning, you didn\u2019t think you would do it.\u2013<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013But I learned that, if you are not doing what you should, life forces you to do it.\u2013<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013What is Past Life Therapy?\u2013<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013It lies in bringing to your physical consciousness traumatic circumstances and events which are held down in your unconscious mind, and for this reason they cause unbalances in everyday life.\u2013<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013Are they life experiences?\u2013<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013Yes, we went through them, but in other lives. There is a direct relationship between the shocks of past lives and the present day emotional struggles.\u2013<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013And how do you know that they belong to a past life and not to the collective unconscious?\u2013<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013To start with, we don\u2019t know exactly what the collective unconscious is. And, if it were so easy to get information from the collective unconscious, then we would do our exams getting in touch with the collective unconscious.\u2013<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013The patients who do not believe in the past life theory, do they heal?\u2013<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013From a healing point of view, it does not matter if past lives exist or not. We all have experiences in our subconscious which do not belong to this life\u2019s framework. Ernesto S\u00e1bato defined the unconscious as the truest existing reality. All that is in our unconscious will come up in our daily life. \u2013<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013You believe in reincarnation.\u2013<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013I used to believe in it, until I started working with past lives. When I started experiencing in myself events of previous lives, I stopped believing in reincarnation and adopted it as a reality, as an experience.\u2013<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013How many past lives have you had?\u2013<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013It is impossible to know. In the course of a therapeutic work you may work out 12 or 20 lives. The Buddha had 500 negative lives and 500 positive ones before reaching enlightenment. The only thing that comes up when you work is what is really important for the soul.\u2013<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013How many lives has a soul?\u2013<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013Only one. The bodies are instruments and vehicles to carry out the experiences the soul needs for evolution. The soul is a quiddity which holds its character or its essence permanently. You have been you and will always be the same.\u2013<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013Even if I die.\u2013<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Your body dies, not your soul. You need a vehicle in this world, and that is your body. But the body does not hold forever, and the soul will need other bodies to carry out its plan.\u2013<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013The soul has a plan?\u2013<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013Yes, a journey. The soul is the driver and the body is the vehicle. And we use this vehicle to carry out the experiences we need to grow, to evolve, who knows until when.\u2013<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013According to the projects of something superior?\u2013<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013I think it is a teamwork. There is an architect who leads the plan of the universe, and within this plan, every soul has a job to do. We are here to understand that we are one: we belong to a whole. The the illusion of being in a body makes us believe that we are separated and that we are individual beings. As a matter of fact, when we transcend this, we see that we are part of one only being.\u2013<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013How can I get in touch with the memory of a past life?\u2013<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013To get in touch with past lives is quite simple. In the first place, it may happen unbidden or it can be brought about. If it is unbidden, it may happen while doing meditation, in a dream, reading a book, looking at a film or visiting a special place, and then we receive an instant knowledge. It happens often that children between 2 and 6 have unbidden memories of their past lives, because the censorship intellectual systems have not yet stepped in. In spite of this, parents consider this as a fancy.\u2013<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013You are a doctor, a scientist by education. What would you tell your peers who think you have lost your mind?\u2013<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013Simply that they should follow the pillars of scientific method: observation, experience and verification. To observe the phenomenon, to experience with it and to verify it. And to keep an open mind, without ever prejudging anybody. If I keep my mind open, in front of me may happen anything. But if I close up, the unconscious I have in front will also close up.\u2013<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A past life in Girona. <\/strong>Doctor Jos\u00e9 Luis Cabouli (Buenos Aires, 1950) was a plastic surgeon in the Argentinian capital until one day he decided to leave his job as a doctor and to take up the so-called Past Life Therapy <\/em>(PLT).<\/em> Since 1992 he runs the Centro de Estudios TVP<\/em> (Centre for the study of <\/i>P<\/i>ast <\/i>L<\/i>ife <\/i>T<\/i>herapy<\/i>), and these days he is giving a workshop in Catalonia invited by the Epsilon bookshop. He feels sure that in a past life he lived in the Girona area. There, he says, he feels very much at home.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
