Newton and “walk-ins”

QUESTION: Masters, I was wondering about the walk-in souls that are frequently referred to on this site as I am rather confused. Michael Newton, who has devoted the latter half of his life to LBL regression work, has never come across this in any way, shape, or form. Everything he has learnt points to the fact that it takes years for a soul to fully meld its energy vibrations with that of a host brain and that the eventual personality is a merging of the two. I have to say that this theory makes more sense to me than a soul just being able to “walk in” and pick up a body where another soul left off. I would be grateful for any light you could shed on this for me! ~ Vicki, Spain

ANSWER: Instances of one soul walking in to a pre-existing body are about as commonly seen on your planet as a near-extinct species. Of your current population of over seven billion souls incarnate, fewer than 100 are walk-ins at any one time, and, since they come in for a specific purpose, they are generally not around for vast amounts of time. Therefore, Michael Newton or any other hypnotist could spend over a thousand lifetimes regressing people and never come across a walk-in.

It does take people many years to find out that they are, first and foremost, a soul and to integrate the abilities they have worked so hard to learn both in this lifetime and in past lives into their awareness. This knowledge can only be proven to the human mind by what is reported through the host brain as you call it. The unconscious aspect of the physical person contributes to the characteristics and personality that are recognized by others as this individual or that person even before they accept their own behavior or have this integration of which you speak.

Food for thought: If it is accepted that we are all souls and come to Earth to have a physical experience, and this can be validated by LBL regression work, why would a substantial part of your time be spent trying to integrate into the physical brain if you are going to leave it behind when your body ceases to exist?
