Cryptomnesia and confabluation are related memory phenomenon that result is false memories.
Wikipedia defines Cryptomnesia as follows:
Cryptomnesia occurs when a forgotten memory returns without it being recognised
as such by the subject, who believes it is something new and original. It is a
memory bias whereby a person may falsely recall generating a thought, an idea,
a song, or a joke,[1] not deliberately engaging in plagiarism but rather
experiencing a memory as if it were a new inspiration.

A more detailed description of the patient Catherine is stated on page 16. The key points of her
background are the following:
Catherine was the middle child of 3. She had an older athletic brother and a younger sister
who was the favourite of her parents.
Conservative Catholic family.
She grew up in a small Massachusetts town.
He symptoms was that she was tense and nervous, having rapid speech and several fears,
including, water, choking, pills, airplanes, dark places and death.
She slept in a walk in closet in her apartment to make herself feel safe.
She was insomniac.
She was a sleepwalker both during her childhood and in her adult life.
All these factors, fears and symptoms made her depressed. Hence the need for counselling
and treatment.
On page Dr. Weiss 17 attempted to make Catherine remember her childhood. He found that her
memories were very limited and repressed and that is when he made a mental note to try hypnosis
as a means of getting Catherine to remember/regress back to her childhood.
Here Dr. Weis encounters Catherines first past life memory of Aronda. The story continued on
pages 27-28. Over the next 8-9 months Catherine would reveal the most bizarre and astounding
stories from many past lives. How many past lives did Catherine live through? The answer given on
page 186 as 86 past lives on earth alone and Catherine also reveals hat that there were other lives on
other spiritual planes. In Dr. Weiss consulting rooms only 10 to 12 of those past lives were played
out under hypnosis. The remaining 76 to 74 past lives are unknown. Some past lives were in Egypt
Page 5 of 8
and some were in Europe. In her revealed past lives she was always an ordinary person, mostly
poor. Never anyone famous.
How did Dr. Weiss weigh up all these past life memories? At different places in the book he writes
of his analysis, scientific reasoning and his thoughts and reflections of what was transpiring in his
consulting rooms? Almost all of these sessions were recorded on tape. Thus He had time to re-listen
to them and to collect his thoughts.

under hypnosis it is plausible to consider that the memory of child molestation was also put into
Catherines mind under hypnosis by Satanic Jinn posing as the spirit masters. The satanic jinn may
have put this evil and unjust thought in her mind to create mischief and split up families and cause
anger, hate and separation between family members.
In Muslim communities we could face a scenario when an Hypnotherapist tries to relieve a person
from anxieties and fear complexes (As Dr Weiss wanted to relieve Catherines anxieties and fear
complexes) and then using regression therapy he/she would access a repressed memory of
childhood molestation by a parent, which in fact is not true but a false and evil memory put there by
a satanic jinn under hypnosis, and even some aspects of the hypnosis may be induced by covert
methods. There would be uproar between patient, the parent of the patient and the hypnotherapist
and all of it may end up in courts and in family break-ups. One of the main purposes in this
document is to show these dangers.

I followed some of the websites that came up in the search. For example, the 6th item in the above
search list links to the therapists page of the Ontario Hypnosis Centre. On this webpage the
following names are listed as therapists:
Georgina Cannon
Tariq Sattaur
Shawn Gallagher
Peter Fink
Carlos Rivas
Of these 5 therapists the first 4 offer past life regression therapy and 2 of these 4 persons (Georgina
Cannon and Peter Fink) are NLP practitioners.

Another website that was listed on the search page is called Spiritual Regression Therapy
Association. This website serves as a directory of past life regression therapists. There are many
therapists that are listed on this website and each has a profile page in which the therapist can
introduced himself/herself, state their qualifications and experiences and list what services they
offer. For example, One of the practitioners listed on their website is Karen Stokes. A part of her
professional profile is reproduced here below but she not singled out in any way certainly not for
anything unethical or fraudulent. Her example is typical of a growing number of alternate therapists.
Regression is about accessing resources, which are present within you, to help
heal and manage your current life in the most desirable way for you. It is
truly amazing how discovering the wisdom of your inner self this way gives you
access to all the wonderful information you hold about the way you really want
to experience your life. It is quickly being recognised as the most direct and
effective therapeutic tool for transformation and for me it is the most useful
and powerful approach I have come across. (If you haven't done so already you
can click on the link 'Past Life & Regression Therapy Training' for a full
description of the process and the benefits it provides.)
In my practice I operate a client centred approach, which means I offer
Hypnosis, Regression Therapy (current and past life) and Neuro-Linguistic
Programming (NLP) and together with your willingness to make changes we use the
technique most suitable for you. This will enable you to unblock any unresolved
issues you may have, especially those issues that are using up your vital
energy in order to remain hidden and assist you in letting go of those negative
thought patterns and fears that hold you back. Thus, freeing up your energy and
empowering you to move forward to enjoy the life you genuinely desire and
deserve.
You may also like to experience Past Life Regression as a stand-alone session
from an interest only point of view. This is a fascinating way to discover and
experience the events of other lives you may have lived and can be useful for
identifying patterns that are being replayed in your current life.
With these two examples it should be very clear that NLP and past life regression therapy are a part
of a family of alternate/hypno-therapeutic services. In many cases NLP practitioners and past life
regression therapists are one and the same person.
NLP is controversial and not fully accepted by the scientific community and past life regression is
simply beyond mainstream science. Confabulation and cryptomnesia may explain the falseness of
past life memories in some individuals but in recent years there have been thousands of people that
Page 8 of 8
are experiencing this phenomenon and it cant all be confabulation and cryptomnesia. I hypothesise
that most of these past life memories are in fact the hidden workings of deceitful jinn. The
following statements are quoted from the same Spiritual Regression Therapy Association website
under the sub-heading Research:
'Hazel Denning studied the results of eight Regression Therapists with nearly
1000 clients and found 64% of the clients showed significant improvement, many
of whom had turned to regression therapy when all other therapies had been
ineffective. Whilst all client experiences are treated in a authentic way,
growing scientific evidence is becoming available to suggest consciousness
survives death and the reality of past live. This includes work with children's
past lives by Professor Ian Stevenson and medical professions studying out of
body experiences. '
What I want to highlight here is that approx. 1000 people had undergone past life regression therapy
from the services offered by just 8 therapists, which averages out to approx. 125 clients per
therapist. Further down on this webpage is a list of past life regression therapists. In this list there
are 90 therapists listed in over 30 countries/territories/states and in over 50 cities. Extrapolate these
numbers and it becomes clear that there could be thousands of people around the world that are
experiencing this phenomenon, which means that thousands of people could be under the influence
of deceptive/evil jinn.
