Future Lives

By Laszlo Gubanyi

A doctor using unusual hypnotic techniques with his patients accidentally contacts a human being from another planet. Through this person he becomes aware of a large colony of these people living on Earth, a knowledge which causes him a lot of complications as these people definitively do not want to be known.

The doctor is hit by a car, not quite accidentally, and wakes up in hospital on a distant planet.

After recovering, thanks to the advanced alien medicine, he continues his work there, trying to look into the future through the minds of hypnotized persons.

The doctor becomes very successful in his work—which causes him new problems as some scheming politicians do not want the future to be known too early.

This book was originally meant to be a teaching text for hypnotist to explain the controversial subject of Past Life Therapies. I wanted

to lighten the rather heavy topic by following a story line. The First Chapter describes exactly what happened in real life. From the second Chapter on I kind of went off on a fantasy theme, still, if you are able to concentrate on the description of Past Life Therapies behind the story line, the teachings are real and the examples cited are true cases from my clinical practice.

Chapter One

Dr. Carlos Alegria opened his eyes.

There was something wrong with this morning.

The alarm clock woke him up—that was normal.

The room around him—that was all normal too.

The empty bed next to him was explained by the noises from the kitchen where his wife was moving around, careful not to wake him, without realizing that her furtive movements were calling more for attention than if she had accidentally slammed the door.

The bright sunlight filtering through the curtains— normal… THE TIME!

It was nearly 9 o’clock— he should be at the Surgery by now.

How come the alarm went off this late?

His wife should have woken him up. Why didn’t she… oh, it was Saturday.

He usually worked very long hours during the week, but the weekends he kept religiously free to recharge.

With a contented sigh, he relaxed back in his bed, enjoying the luxurious feeling of doing nothing.

The warm somnolence was slowly taking over, but he could not relax completely.

Something still wasn’t right.

The alarm clock should not have woken him up— it was Saturday.

Saturdays he usually slept longer.

The Group!

He remembered his Group.

He did have to get out of bed after all.

Even if it was Saturday today.

Every now and then he met his Group on Saturday mornings.

The Group was formed by a few people, four or five at a time and changing many times, who were friends or patients and who had a special talent and interest in exploring the strange happenings that kept popping up during the daily surgery consultations.

And this was today.

No hurry, plenty of time yet.

Still – he had to get out of this comfortable bed and start to get ready.

By the time he got to the kitchen, his breakfast was on the table.

This was not a daily happening but, being Saturday; his wife had time to prepare it.

It was a long drive to the surgery, but he was used to it.

He had been doing it now for over ten years —since he bought this old shop in the small shopping centre on the outskirts of the city, and put up the sign of General Practice.

It was very slow at first, but soon people learned about him and he had to work longer and longer hours to be able to see all the people who came to consult him.

Besides the work usual to a doctor in General

Practice, he had at night after closing time what he called relaxation training.

Every night, a group of eight to ten people got together (they looked strange lining up waiting outside the Surgery, men and women, each holding pillows and blankets) lying down on mattresses on the floor, learning how to relax, how to cope with everyday personal problems.

Actually, they were sessions of group hypnosis, and while they were relaxed in this special sleep like state they received instruction on how to change their lives to a better one.

They were very popular classes, full every night.

Invariably, there were people who presented with special problems and these received individual attention. This happened mainly at lunchtime while surgery was closed for two hours. It was during these special hypnotic sessions that things started to happen.

Things that he was not able to explain within the boundaries of the normal medical training.

People during hypnosis remembering things they were not supposed to remember or talking about happenings or subjects they were not supposed to have any knowledge of.

Just about this time, Dr Alegria met a couple at a Hypnotherapists conference; he was a retired doctor and she was a psychologist.

This couple had developed a new system - a hypnotic past life therapy.

This therapy and the application of it to the medical practice, besides being very interesting and exciting, appeared to be extremely effective.

It also offered an explanation of the strange happenings during his other hypnotic sessions.

After having a lot of prolonged meetings with this couple, Dr Allegria started to apply this hypothesis of past life therapies to his practice.

This unusual hypnotic therapy, besides proving itself very useful, was the origin of his Group.

It had to happen.

After a while there were people who had a special capacity to go into a hypnotic trance and were very interested in learning more about the different states of awareness hypnosis offered.

They wanted to learn more, to experiment.

This was the origin of the Group.

It started to rain by the time he got to the surgery.

Just a few drops here and there, but enough to bring the temperature of the day down.

The small street where the shopping centre was— five shops only, one of them the surgery— was usually very quiet, especially Saturday mornings.

His people were already inside, as Tina, his secretary, had her own keys and let them in.

Tina was a very special person.

She was a patient first, with multiple problems, mainly psychological. She had weekly, very long sessions of hypnotherapy.

She also happened to be a very good hypnotic subject, and very soon the sessions became mainly past life therapies —going back to the far past to fix present problems.

Later she became his secretary, and she was very efficient at her job.

Dr Allegria started to rely on her more and more, until she practically ran the non-medical part of the surgery, bossing around the other secretary.

She also continued with her hypnotherapy sessions and by practice became an increasingly good hypnotic subject.

Very soon her therapeutic sessions started to change into experimental ones, and she was quite happy to participate in the Group.

Sometimes a bit too happy.

Tina liked very much to be the centre of attention, very happy to please and to bring forward the stories of her past life experiences.

Sometimes it was very difficult to establish if the experiences she related were true past life experiences or were just her imagination running wild and the stories were invented.

Most of the time, she herself could not tell the difference.

Still, she was the functional centre of the group, organizing everything and also participating.

The Group always worked the same way.

One person was hypnotized and led through the hypnotic experience – while the others sat around watching.

After discussing together what happened, it was the turn of the next person.

Everyone wanted to have a turn, starting with Tina, to set the ambience.

Today three people formed the Group — Tina, as usual, Peter, who was Dr Alegria’s younger brother and Michael, Dr Alegria’s friend from a long time back.

Peter was basically a sceptical person who became interested in hypnosis after witnessing a session.

He had had a few hypnosis sessions himself, with some difficulty entering into a deep hypnotic trance, but he appeared to be willing to learn by practice.

However, he had never experienced a past life situation.

Michael was basically a believer in everything strange, mental or paranormal, despite having no personal experience of any of them.

He was very interested in observing and learning, but not very sure about participating.

So, today’s group was not expected to be a very productive one. It was more like a group of friends getting together to have a pleasurable time.

There was no specific plan of what to do, just to wait and see what was going to happen.

As usual, Tina was the first subject.

Her long experience allowed her to enter into a deep hypnotic state without needing much prompting. After a short general relaxation, she received the suggestion to drift back in time, allowing her mind to follow an emotional line back to its origin.

Sometimes, she was given specific instructions about which emotion or feeling to concentrate on.

Today no specific target was mentioned. She was allowed to drift wherever her mind wanted to take her.

When the hypnotist, Dr. Alegria in this case, was satisfied that she had reached her target, the questions started to identify the place where she had arrived.

Where are you – inside or outside?

The first answer usually came slowly as the subject established herself in the new situation.

Then the questions followed, to try to identify the place.

Is it night time or daytime?

Are you alone or is someone with you?

What is this place? Look around and describe it.

By this time the reality of the place was established in the subject’s mind and she was able to describe it.

Every object noted and described made the place appear more and more real, until the subject felt really at that place—she was seeing the place, touched, smelt the place and was able to move around in that place.

When the reality of the place was established, the questioning turned to the purpose of being there.

What is happening now?

Why is this time special?

What are you doing now?

Who are you? What is your name?

These questions usually cleared the picture and explained the purpose of visiting that particular place and time.

If it was a therapeutic session, then the questioning turned to clarify the emotional content of the situation.

The hypnotist had to know in what way the situation related to the present life and time.

This was the moment when the hypnotist, manipulating the emotional content of what was happening at the place, in the past, was able to influence the subject’s emotional state once back to present time.

The theory behind it was that if a person is made by the sum of his past experiences, then by changing the past experiences one can change the person.

And this was exactly what would happen in a therapeutic situation.

However, today’s session was to be different. No therapy was intended.

No subject was chosen to explore.

The plan for today was to allow Tina’s mind to drift free wherever it wanted to go, and by example help the other two observers to be able to experience a past life situation once it was their turn.

This was the plan.

The result was quite different.

Tina was lying in the bed, Dr Alegria sitting close to her head on a chair.

Peter and Michael were sitting a bit further away, observing what was happening, both a bit anxious, not quite looking forward to their turn.

The relaxation part went smoothly.

Tina had been through this process many times before so she needed very little prompting.

However, her response to the suggestion of regression was not the usual one.

Her respiration became faster and shallower.

This is usually a sign of increasing tension; it happens when the subject finds himself or herself in an unexpected or unpleasant situation.

This settled after a while, after a more prolonged suggestion for relaxation, but she still had difficulty in establishing the regression state, to be able to answer the identifying questions.

Peter and Michael were watching, sitting on the edge of their seats, not realizing that there was something not quite right.

They did not notice the tension, the worried look on Dr. Alegria’s face.

There was something going wrong.

The regression should have gone smoothly.

Tina had been through the process so many times—the present difficulty was very unusual.

In a hypnotic situation, especially in regression, the unusual is very much unwelcomed.

There are so many things that can go wrong, that the hypnotist has to have a very clear control of the situation, which is difficult at best.

In hypnosis the subject does not just remember past events, but relive them in perfect reality.

It all happens now, you feel it, you experience it, very much real.

The person who opens his eyes after he was murdered or tortured in a contacted past life, has the memory that it has just happened in real life, with all the psychological consequences that a bad real experience would produce.

The whole idea of regressive therapy is based on producing the healing changes in the person by reliving past events in a controlled situation, and manipulating these events to produce a different end result, to change the person’s present emotional state.

Control is the basic word – the hypnotist has to be able to manipulate the events in the regression.

Anything unexpected or different would make this control very difficult and the expected outcome unknown.

So, when Tina started to present these unusual responses, Dr Alegria had plenty of reasons to worry.

At last, Tina appeared to establish herself in the new regressive situation and started to answer the questions.

She appeared to have established her contact within her new reality and was able to clarify her situation.

She was inside, in a room.

She was alone.

It was night time.

There was nothing happening around.

Her name—this took quite a time to establish but after a lot of prompting, was Roger Hernandez.

Then the communication broke and the personality of Roger seemed to disappear.

After a lot of questioning and hypnotic suggestions,

Roger appeared again and declared that he wanted to talk to the group.

This was very unusual and very much unexpected.

Once the subject establishes the connections with the past event and a specific personality surfaces, that person’s reality does not mix with the Group’s reality.

That person has his own life, his own happenings, in a different time and space, unconnected and most of the time unaware of the Group’s reality…

That the purpose of the person to appear was to talk to them was very much unexpected.

The next problem appeared to be the date.

Dates are usually very difficult to establish in regression. The contact has to be very solid to be able to clarify dates.

This time the date came up easily. The surprising part was that it was today, the present day for the Group.

This was questioned repeated times but Roger insisted on the date.

Tina’s pulse and respiration rate were going up; she was moving her arms and legs in small, repetitive movements, which appeared to have no purpose at all.

There were fine droplets of perspiration on her forehead—all those were signs of the building up of tension inside.

This was not supposed to happen.

Hypnotic regression is supposed to happen in a deep state of relaxation, both physical and mental.

Signs of tension indicated that there was something going wrong and that the subject found herself in a situation which was very stressful and difficult to cope with.

As at this time the cause of the stress was not apparent, the safest way to deal with the happening was to remove the subject-Tina- from what obviously distressed her, to bring her out of the hypnotic trance back to a more controllable situation.

As Tina was receiving the waking suggestion from Dr Alegria, Roger had a last message delivered.

Dr Alegria, I have to talk to you. Maybe next time we will have a better contact.

The sound of Roger’s last words was still in the air when Tina sat up with her hands on her face, sobbing and screaming, Leave me alone.

It took her a long time to calm down sufficiently to be able to talk about what had happened.

Peter and Michael were observing all this, quite confused, as this was completely different from the regressions they had witnessed before.

They did not know what to think about all this that had happened in front of them, but looking at Tina’s stressed out form and the obvious concern on Dr. Alegria’s face, they knew that something was very wrong.

Eventually Tina was calm enough to explain what had happened.

Everything was good at the beginning.

She was able to relax, following Dr Alegria’s suggestion.

Then as her mind was reaching out, searching or rather allowing the regression to happen and establish the contact with the past, the intrusion occurred.

She insisted on naming it an intrusion.

It was not like the numerous past contacts she had been able to establish.

In the ‘normal’ or usual past contacts she was herself all the time.

It was in a different place, a different time, but always, always it was herself.

She was a different person, with a different name and a different happening, in a different life.

Still, she (or he) was always thinking and talking in the first person and although aware of the different life, the different body, it was always I and me and now.

Even when I had a different name then.

Time did not exist except as a distant memory and the life contacted was the I.

This time, it was different.

She remained Tina all the time, in her own body, in the same room.

But there was someone else in that body.

As she described it, it was like being two people in the same place— one Tina and the other Roger.

It was like an invasion, an unwelcome physical presence. She could feel the strange body although she knew that there was nothing there.

Not physically.

And he had the control.

Tina was there —seeing, listening and aware of everything —but could not move or react.

It was Roger who was talking.

Now that it was all over, Tina felt dirty inside, upset about the invasion. She had the feeling that she had to wash, to cleanse herself of that unwelcome presence, although it was not there anymore.

Tina was too upset to do anything else that day, so the four of them just sat around the table talking, trying to understand what had really happened.

They spent a lot of time on this without really getting anywhere.

Tina absolutely refused to participate in anything else. She could not rid her mind of the memory of what just happened, the feelings of fright, being invaded, dirty inside.

She did not care, did not even try to understand the cause.

Michael and Peter, having little experience themselves about the regression or in general the hypnotic process, had very little to contribute.

They did not understand the tremendously important nature of what had happened and left a bit disappointed, as they had both expected to participate more.

Still, they wanted to come back the ‘next time.’

Dr. Alegria was quite happy with their lack of understanding and did not try to clarify things for them.

He felt deeply troubled and worried when he eventually was alone.

In his mind he went over again and again what he called ‘Roger’s visit.’

As always, they had made an audio recording of the session, but listening to it did not help.

It only contained their voices and Roger’s statement but in Tina’s voice.

He was unable to accept the only logical explanation which came to his mind. That someone else was trying to communicate through Tina.

Not a person from the past.

This was not an age regression or even a past life intrusion.

This was something completely different.

This was a new player.

An unknown person, appearing from out of nowhere, completely out of his control.

When Dr Alegria left the surgery he knew that he had no choice.

He had to contact Roger again.

On Monday the usual daily routine started from 9 am to 1 pm. The surgery was full of people, all sitting patiently in the waiting room, expecting their turn.

Linda, the morning secretary, was attending the new arrivals, most of them there by appointment.

There was always a lot of activity in the waiting room; people talking, phones ringing, children running around or banging on the side of the fish tank. Still, there was also a controlled quietness to the place.

Sometimes, when someone took a very long time inside with Dr Alegria, there was a wave of restlessness in the waiting room, but
