When the intuition rings clear and true, loving impulses are favored. Brian L. Weiss

That is why it is so important to prepare not only for the rest of our lives but for all our lives to come--for immortality. Brian L. Weiss

Sometimes, soulmates may meet, stay together until a task or life lesson is completed, and then move on. This is not a tragedy, only a matter of learning. Brian L. Weiss
