The LBL Experience
What clients actually encounter in the spirit world.
No two LBL sessions are identical — but across thousands of sessions conducted worldwide, certain experiences recur with remarkable consistency. This page describes what clients commonly encounter when they cross into the spirit world and experience themselves as immortal souls.
The Soul Perspective
Experiencing Yourself as an Immortal Soul
The most striking aspect of the LBL experience, reported consistently across cultures and backgrounds, is the immediate and unmistakable recognition of oneself as a soul — not a body with a soul, but a soul that has temporarily inhabited a body.
From this perspective, the concerns, fears, and limitations of physical life appear in an entirely different light. The soul mind holds a far broader view of your existence — spanning many lifetimes, many lessons, and a purposeful journey that extends far beyond any single incarnation.
Dr. Newton's research, spanning more than 30 years and over 7,000 clients, found that this experience is not shaped by prior beliefs. Skeptics and believers alike report remarkably similar encounters — suggesting that what clients access is genuine soul memory, not imagination or expectation.
What You May Encounter
Elements of the Spirit World
These are the most commonly reported encounters across thousands of LBL sessions worldwide. Your own experience will be unique — but you are likely to recognize some or all of these.
The Crossing Over
After the death scene of your most recent past life, you experience the transition into the spirit world. Clients consistently describe a profound sense of release, lightness, and coming home — a recognition that this realm is deeply familiar.
Your Soul Group
You encounter the souls you have traveled with across many lifetimes — often the same people who appear in your current life as family, close friends, or significant relationships. The recognition is immediate and deeply moving.
Spirit Guides
Most clients meet one or more spirit guides — wise, loving presences who have accompanied them through their soul's journey. These guides offer perspective, encouragement, and answers to questions you carry.
The Council of Elders
A meeting with a group of highly advanced souls — experienced as deeply wise, compassionate, and entirely non-judgmental. The Council offers a loving review of your soul's progress, your current life purpose, and the lessons you are here to master.
The Library of Knowledge
Many clients access what is experienced as a vast repository of soul knowledge — records of past lives, soul contracts, and the deeper patterns running through their existence. Here, questions about purpose and meaning are answered directly.
The Place of Life Selection
Some clients witness the process by which their current life was chosen — the body, the family, the challenges, and the opportunities selected by their soul before incarnating. This understanding transforms how clients relate to their current circumstances.
Across All Sessions
Qualities That Transcend Individual Experience
A Feeling of Unconditional Love
Nearly every client describes the spirit world as suffused with a quality of love that has no equivalent in physical life — not romantic love, but a vast, encompassing acceptance that is felt rather than thought.
Recognition Without Words
Communication in the spirit world is not verbal. Clients experience direct knowing — understanding transmitted instantly and completely, without the limitations of language.
Time Feels Different
The spirit world exists outside linear time. Clients often report that the session felt simultaneously like minutes and like an eternity — a quality that is difficult to describe but unmistakable when experienced.
Clarity About This Life
From the elevated perspective of the soul mind, the challenges, relationships, and circumstances of the current life are seen with extraordinary clarity — their purpose, their lessons, and their place in a much larger story.
The Council of Elders — A Closer Look
The Council of Elders is consistently described as the most emotionally significant part of the LBL experience. Clients encounter a group of highly advanced souls — experienced as ancient, wise, and radiating profound compassion.
The meeting is never judgmental. There is no punishment, no shame, and no condemnation — only a loving, clear-eyed review of the soul's progress and a deepening of understanding about the lessons and purpose of the current life.
Many clients describe this as the moment they finally understood — at a soul level — why their life is exactly as it is, and why that is precisely right for their growth.
In Their Own Words
What Clients Say About Their Experience
I came in with questions I had carried for decades. I left with answers — not the answers I expected, but the ones I needed. The experience of meeting my soul group was unlike anything I can describe.
— Client, San Mateo
The Council of Elders was the most profound part. I expected judgment. What I found was complete, unconditional love and a clarity about my life's purpose that I had never felt before.
— Client, Belmont
I no longer fear death. That alone was worth everything. But I also came away understanding why I chose my family, my challenges, and my path — and that understanding has changed how I live every day.
— Client, Redwood City
