Foreword
The story of how this book came out started in July 2013, when I really
wanted to participate in the National Conference of Transpersonal
Psychology, with the theme Transcending and Cosmization. As I
admire all people who are involved in scientific research, I thought
of voluntarily offering my help by taking part in the conference
organization. I called professor Ion Mânzat, who was in his garden,
where he was connecting himself to the inspiring substance for his
next book. He told me: ‘Dear Victor, you will participate in the
conference with a lecture. Just call Ionel Mohîrţă and he will tell
you exactly what to do.’ We continued talking a little bit about the
importance of spreading a healthy spirituality in Romania.
I then contacted professor Mohîrţă, who told me to send him the
theme and the abstract of my presentation by early August and
assured me that they would let me know if they needed my help
with the conference organization.
I had little time to choose a topic to write about and although I had
many ideas, nothing seemed to crystallize. Then, I tried to connect
myself to something deeper within myself and become aware of
what my actual concern was at that time and what particular subject
I wished to learn more about, something new that would incite me
towards exploration and research at the same time. It was during
that time that I had discovered Sal Rachele’s works about the
transformations that Earth is undergoing at present.
Soul Fragmentation 13
Sal Rachele’s new book about Soul Integration had been published
quite a short time before, but at that time it had not been translated
into Romanian. One day, while looking curiously at its contents,
I noticed that the book was extensively approaching the issue of
trauma from a spiritual point of view, focusing on the way in which
the Soul can be fragmented when an unhappy event or an accident
occurs in our life. The methods of how to reintegrate those lost parts
of the soul were also mentioned. I had already studied this issue
within the regressions using the Past Life Therapy method, but never
before had I thought that I could offer a more extensive perspective
on this process by interdisciplinarily integrating information
assimilated from the fields of spirituality, psychotherapy, clinical
psychology and, last but not least, from quantum physics. I really
liked this topic and I felt inspired, but the most important thing was
that I wanted to learn more about it.
Therefore, I started doing my research, by first reading some
specialized books and then reflecting on my regression sessions
both as a subject, but also as a therapist.
Although I had not been explicitly asked to write an article about the
lecture I was going to deliver, that seemed to be the most appropriate
way to organize my information and, by doing so, I could also
provide a written material to those interested in the topic. As such,
everything started by writing an article which was extending day
by day, the same way as my thirst to enhance my knowledge. In
October, when the conference was held, my article was already 40
pages long. I did not manage to finish it, because I had extended it
more than initially intended; as a matter of fact, as I already said
before, I am under the impression that, from the very beginning,
this article seems to have had its very own self-conscience, because
despite my endeavor to limit it to a few pages, it kept growing. At a
certain point, I released the constraints and continued writing.
The conference was great. I was always very pleased to join such
people of an enlightened conscience. I felt inspired in their presence,
more generous and wishing to share the secrets of spirituality. I
14 Victor Chirea
learned a lot, I had the opportunity to talk to people who had an
active experience in the field of transpersonal psychology and I
could see a possible future career for me, should I choose to go this
way.
After the presentation of my paper, I received encouraging feedback
from many professors. Professor Anca Munteanu offered me the
opportunity to publish my article in “The Annual Volume of the
European Association of Transpersonal Psychology.” It was then
that I first thought of turning everything I had written into a book.
When you start writing, you face your own conscience and
understanding, you realize what issues are clear to you and what
topics still need to be studied. You begin to explain a term and then
you see that other new ones appear. I never wished to make a long
glossary at the end, because I did not intend to provide a dictionary
of spiritual terms. My sole concern was that everything should
be clearly presented and that the text should be also accessible to
those who were just starting to explore the path of spirituality and
personal development. At the same time, I enjoy the sensation of
flowing I experience when reading some books and letting myself
go with the flow of letters, ideas, sounds, images and awakening
feelings. It was this state of mind that I wished to be transmitted to
the readers of my book.
Once the introduction has been made, chapter 2 easily builds up,
adding details about the types of soul fragmentation (conscious
or unconscious, superficial or deep) and the causes that determine
the split, among which I would mention the following: intense
emotional traumas, such as the loss of a loved one or the cases of
abuse and violence, unbalanced relationships with strong emotional
attachment, emotional denial or sudden and incompletely processed
death.

1. Conceptual Delimitations
Although they are connected, the Soul differs from the Spirit and
from the Divine Self and the notion of the Self used with a spiritual
meaning does not overlap the one in psychology.
We are likely to associate the psychological term of the self with
collocations such as: self-confidence (self-valorization), self-
image (the way I perceive myself), self-esteem (the feeling of
self-evaluation), self-knowledge, self-consciousness (one’s own
awareness as being different from the others); many times, we
misuse one of these terms for the other, although each of them has
a well defined meaning. I do not intend to go into a more detailed
definition of these terms (except for the brief notes in parentheses,
meant to better differentiate them), since this is not the purpose of
my paper. Those interested could consult Larousse, Dictionary of
Psychology (2006). Generally, in the examples presented, I refer
to the notion of self seen as the individual Ego (physical, psychic,
social), more precisely, what the person is considered to be in the
most ordinary way.
22 Victor Chirea
An extensive variant of this concept is to be found in Jungian
psychoanalysis where the Personality Model (of the psychic) is
presented in the form of a mandala, having as its centre the Ego-
Self axis and including notions such as: persona, shadow, collective
and personal consciousness/unconsciousness, archetypes, the two
types of general attitudes (introvert, extravert), the four functional
types of the psychic (thinking, feeling, sensation, intuition), etc.
Theory is quite complex and there are speciality books describing it
in detail (I would recommend C.G Jung’s Full Works printed by Trei
Publishing House). What I would mention as archetypes of interest
is the one of the Spirit (symbolized by the “old wise man” who
helps the Hero on the path to his becoming) and the Archetype of the
Self (a centre of inner order and sense, the archetype of integrated
psychic totality, symbolically expressed by the mandala and feeding
the self-achievement impulse and concurrently materializing the
individuation process (Zamfirescu, 2007).
Soul Fragmentation 23
Further on, Gestalt Therapy approaches a Self Theory which does
not refer to a fixed entity (as in Psychoanalysis), but rather to a
dynamic process, namely the personal way in which one would
adjust oneself in a creative manner and would act in relation with the
others, the way in which one exists and expresses oneself, here and
now, at the border between myself and the others and especially the
way one relates to the surrounding environment. (Perls, Hefferline,
Goodman, 1951 and Polster, 1995).
The Self works in four main ways which will be referred to as the
Self Functions. See below a diagram presenting them at the level of
the Contact Cycle (the variant presented by Goodman).
The Spirit is the life infused by God into everything that exists. It
is energy, consciousness and divine intelligence, the universal law
and principle, it is God’s movement through the totality of creation.
Religion makes reference to the Holy Ghost. It is similar to the sap
of a tree which spreads through its branches and leaves, as a flow
of vitality.
24 Victor Chirea
In a more pragmatic approach, it is with this life infused by God that
every being receives a certain degree of intelligence, memory and
will, all in direct accordance with the level of soul evolution. The
quality of soul’s manifestation on Earth depends on these above
mentioned abilities.
The Soul, the Spirit and the Ego are the three main aspects of our
Self, of our being.
Sexuality has as its drive the most powerful, but also the most denied
part of the emotional body – the sexual energy. The inappropriate
expression of sexuality derives from the suppression of sexual
desire. The problems resulting from the repression of these sexual
impulses had been largely analyzed in psychoanalysis by Freud
and his successors; therefore I will not go into further details.
Nevertheless, I will still mention the spiritual vision on sexual
energy sublimation seen as a potential for creativity or as a chance
to fully manifest it throughout the body, as approached by various
oriental disciplines.
Unlike the astral body, the etheric one has a higher vibration and
softer pastel colors. It is here that the elevated emotions and attitudes
appear, such as love, compassion and being in service to the other.
If we refer just to the etheric double, an inferior level can be
visualized (but not in the sense of being less good) which is quite
close to the physical body (at 0.75 – 5 cm) and is made up of fine
energy lines forming a shining cloth covering the physical body.
This is the energy matrix where the physical material is formed and
anchored. The scientific research coordinated by John Pierrakos
and Barbara Ann Brennan (1975) showed that plants project the
energetic imprint of a leaf before it actually grows at physical level.
At a superior level, there is the etheric pattern body which contains
all sketches and designs necessary to create the structure of a perfect
etheric body. To a certain extent, we can talk about archetypes of
energy organs. This field extends from 15 cm up to 60 cm outside
the physical body.
Regarding its shape, the exterior form of the causal body is ovoid,
having thin filaments of golden-silver light inside, with strong
durability which sustains the whole form of the aura. Situated at
a distance of about 70-100 cm around the physical body, this is
Soul Fragmentation 33
the last level of the individual energy field which also has a role of
protection against the outside disruptive factors, in exactly the same
way as the egg shell protects the chicken inside.
Jack Schwarz (1980) speaks about the presence of past lives in our
aura in the form of colored light bands surrounding the shell, the
band around the head usually being that past existence, which we
are now working upon for healing and integration purposes.
At the end of this part, I will present a short scheme for knowledge
deepening:

(Gas Discharge Visualization) principle, a technique developed by
Konstantin Korotkov which is similar to a Kirlian photography.

Related Psychopathology
The field of pathology is quite large and the purpose of the present
work is not to go into much detail on this aspect. However, considering
that my actual training as a psychotherapist also includes the
completion of a Master in Clinical Psychology, I believe it is useful
to provide an interdisciplinary approach on several psychological
disorders seen from the spiritual perspective of soul fragmentation.
Therefore, I will further use certain terms specific to the clinical
field, hoping they will also be useful to those who are not so familiar
with this area of expertise.
Here are the definitions for some of the terms used in this chapter:
The sign is what can be identified and noticed from the outside by
a clinician, such as the modification of skin color or of a person’s
behavior.
The symptom represents what the patient feels and declares to be
undergoing in a subjective way, for example a headache or a state
of anxiety.
Further on, the syndrome is a group or a logical structure of signs
and symptoms. For example, the negative conceptions of one’s own
person both in present and future can lead to the formation of the
depressive syndrome.
The above mentioned terms can be included as separate entities in
the sub-clinical field. When it comes to clinical field, in order to
diagnose a disease (in a medical sense) or a disorder (psychological
term) we need a logical construction of symptoms and syndromes,
and in case of the latter, we also need to refer to the etiopathology
(causality) associated. Moreover, we also need to notice whether
there is a constancy of the patient’s symptoms in time (6 months for
the anxiety disorder) and a significant disturbance of the patient’s
social life.
48 Victor Chirea
The domain of Psychopathology can be shortly classified into three
main categories: neuroses, psychoses and psychopathy (personality
disorders). This is an older variant of classification which is easier
for me to approach. I sometimes also make reference (using
brackets) to the version presented in DSM IV. Anyway, even the
latter has been changed to some extent in the newly issued version
of DSM V.
In PLT the symptoms are called “charges” and they represent the
way in which an unhealed trauma from the past of current life or
from a past life can be manifested in the three bodies of the Ego/
Personality. They make the bridge leading us to a past life (Bridge
Technique) and here are some examples:
→ Physical charges: cold, cramps, discomfort, exhaustion, dirt,
heat, hunger, pain, paralysis, bad smell, thirst.
→ Emotional charges: despair, disgust, dislike, envy, fear, grief,
guilt, hatred, helplessness, jealousy, loneliness, anger, resentment,
disgust, shame.
→ Mental charges: anesthesia, confusion, despair, dissociation,
fascination, not feeling good about oneself, hallucinations, lack of
understanding, obsessive love, loss of consciousness, confusion,
trance.
Ann’s story starts when she is four years old and, as she is curious
by nature, she looks at the hens sitting on their nests to lay eggs.
Suddenly, she takes an egg and happily goes to her mother to show
her what she found, but, by mistake, she drops the egg which breaks.
Her mother’s reaction is exaggerated, as she applies a physical
punishment to the child and addresses her words of reproach. The
words stop in the girl’s stomach, where she feels as if she had a hard
rock and, at the same time, her joy disappears and is replaced by
sadness. Next day, her mother behaves as if nothing had happened,
but the first thought that crosses Ann’s mind is: “Mother does not
love me, but it is good that father loves me.” [in this case the girl’s
soul becomes fragmented, in the sense that that her joy goes to her
mother and, in return, she receives her mother’s hatred and blows.]
64 Victor Chirea
The next moment is when the girl is five years old and she is playing,
pretending to be a hen, being naked, in the yard. She feels great joy
and freedom in her heart, she is careless and has a strong feeling of
being connected with everything around her. [here is one of the key
resource moments of this session, therefore I let her experience this
state as long as she needed, bringing this resource and anchoring it
into the body of her present life.]
This moment does not last too much either, because “fear begins”;
the ‘spontaneous’ thought comes to Ann’s mind: “What will happen
next? Am I going to always be so happy?” and this is because she
anticipates her parents’ coming soon and starting to scold her and
prevent her from playing, while screaming and venting their anger
on her. The girl’s anticipation is confirmed. Her father is the first
to arrive home, being drunk, as usual. Ann is glad to see him and
goes to welcome him, because usually he brings her sweets, but this
time the man tells her to enter the house with him, so that he can
show her something. After he gives her a candy, the girl wants to
leave, but he tells her to stay. She begins to be frightened, because
her father looks at her in a special way and she can see desire in
his eyes; instinctively, little Ann covers her nakedness, thinking he
could do something to her that would make her mother angry and
she would beat her then. The man comes close to the little girl and
starts to caress her, awakening all kind of sensations she does not
understand: on the one hand, she feels fear of the unknown, but also
pleasure at the same time. Moreover, this is the only way in which
she feels her father is close to her, as he is most of the time absent.
He continues to caress her in the area of her genital organs, asking
her if she enjoyed it, but she says she cannot tell. She decides not
to object, not to say anything, although she would have liked to do
so. The words unuttered, together with her emotions of anger and
resentment are blocked in her stomach. “Father, let me alone! Stop
with this nonsense! What are you doing? Do you want me to tell
mother about this?” At the same time, she turns all her spite for
not having reacted against herself. [Although some people might
consider the sexual abuses that are limited just to caresses and
kisses to be less severe than those where penetration is involved,
Soul Fragmentation 65
from a psychoanalytic point of view, such sexual impulse felt at such
a young age, as well as her father’s desire energy are far too much
for the girl’s still fragile self. Therefore, as a defense mechanism,
most of the experiences are automatically repressed and, at the
same time, the soul fragmentation occurs, a part of the girl’s energy
remaining in the past, at the very moment of her abuse.]
In time, she has come to like it and at the age of six she is already
waiting for the ‘tenderness’ moments with her father, because they
give her pleasure. However, she is still afraid and feels shame and
guilt towards her mother. In a way, she knows that something is
wrong, but she keeps saying to herself: “He knows what he is doing,
after all he is my father”.
He beats her up for the first time… As he used to do, the man comes
home late and he is already drunk. She tells him people say he was
seen in the company of a woman, a neighbor. Mathew can no longer
control himself and he vents his anger on her, he starts beating her,
first with his fists, and when she falls down, he continues kicking
her everywhere…. When he calms down, he throws her out of the
house and does not let her in any more, even if she knocks at the
windows, asking him to at least let her breastfeed her baby girl.
As it is winter, Ann must find shelter inside the storehouse, where
the frost freezes her soul. The first awful thought comes up: “I am
cursed, I was born without any luck in this world. I am damned to
be unhappy. I am paying for my sins.” It is now that her relationship
68 Victor Chirea
with God breaks up: “I do not feel anything divine in me. My girl
is the only reason worth living for. In these moments, I feel God
no longer exists for me”, because if God existed, he would not let
this happen. Until then, she believed in God, but now she could
feel only fury and anger and she would not care about anything at
all. “My body is anesthetized, and my Soul is hardened, I no longer
have any soul.”…The night passes away very slowly and the only
thing maintaining her wish to live is her daughter. The next day, at
five o’clock in the morning, he calls her back in the house.
Although, I have not referred to God in this paper, I will say a few
words now, mentioning that this is my current personal view (which
is definitely under constant reconfiguration). My purpose is not to
pass any judgment on other beliefs, but make the above mentioned
process more clear. I will write these lines more for the happiness of
the mind, because any explanation will truly lose its meaning when
we refer to the Creator.
I have noticed that, when people speak about God in general, they
would rather see him as the Divinity that created this universe,
but, in their minds, they somehow separate him from his creation,
as if God had first created the universe and then withdrew in
contemplation, being rather passive, interfering with his creation
from time to time, just to make small adjustments where necessary.
Other conceptions see God in an active manifestation as being the
origin itself and the creation as well, moulding his energy in diverse
aspects (individualities) of manifestation, which he continues to
pour energy into, giving them life by his divine breath, his very
presence being the element keeping all things together. At present,
my personal opinion is closer to the second conception presented.
But in Ann’s case, for whom faith in God dies, what is actually lost
is hope and without it, the soul itself seems to have turned into a
stone. When you say you no longer believe in God, it is as if you said:
life does no longer exist for me, it is not worth living any longer, I
am desperate, I feel abandoned. These beliefs break the walls of the
fortress, there is no sense for the immune system to defend itself,
since you are awaiting your death and the disease is invited into
your body. But more important is what happens at soul level, the
repeated shocks and traumas leading you to the state of despair in
which you think that God has forsaken you; this is actually what
fragments the soul. Consequently, I consider this splitting as the
main cause of madness, since any psychotic person lives with the
illusion of his/her complete separation from God, even in the cases
where there is delirium and mystical ideation. In such situations,
the person is connected to a hallucination, to something made up by
a suffering mind that is trying, with its remaining forces, to access
something holy that might bring about healing.
Since the small can be found in the large and the large in the small
and as the universe is an immense hologram, we can understand, by
metaphoric similarity, that man can also have an analog way in the
course of its own becoming and completion. In real life, human body
also has an inner force of reorganization and self-organization; it is
sufficient to allow it to manifest itself and provide all the necessary
conditions for its development (that is removal of blockages).
After a short time, her worries make her follow her husband to see if
what people say is true. It is twilight and he is leaving his mistress’s
house. Ann remains hidden and she sees them the very moment
when his mistress is showing Mathew out of the house, while the
latter is zipping up his trousers. He turns to his mistress and kisses
her. Then Ann feels “as if hit by an arrow, something is broken inside
of her, something is split”, “I feel as if I were breaking in half, as if
anger penetrates my brain and it is so strong, but I cannot express
Soul Fragmentation 73
it, I cannot shout, I cannot say anything”, “I feel it like madness,
as if I preferred to go mad, my mind goes crazy, it goes completely
crazy”. At the same time, she starts cursing her days, her fate and
her husband. Madness is installed when it is confirmed to her that in
this life she will not benefit from love and that she does not deserve
to be happy. Instead of facing this irrevocable truth, she prefers to
become ill and not to remain conscious. It is then that she feels she
keeps only the upper side of her body, whereas her femininity and
her capacity of giving birth to children are draining into the ground.
She cannot tell anybody about what she has seen, because she would
definitely lose Mathew. As time passes, pressure becomes higher.
[This is the very moment when the process of madness starts. Within
the exploration, it is placed at the beginning of the regression, as it
usually happens that the most tensed moments burst out first as they
are being pushed by the pressure of having been repressed for quite
a long time. It is here that the starting factor of the disease appears:
the confirmation of the fact that her husband is cheating on her
with another woman. It is too much for Ann and her soul breaks up
like a shattered mirror. From that moment onwards, these pieces
reflect a deformed reality and even if she tries to stick them back
together, the puzzle no longer resembles the original photo. Another
important aspect is the description of how her madness appears,
the scene being carefully explored through the slow motion method:
like an arrow in the brain, short-circuiting her being… as if you
connected an electric device to a higher voltage than it can support.
The device will burn out, it will disconnect itself from the source for
protection reasons. But people are not machines and one cannot
replace the faulty parts and they are not provided with a cartridge
fuse. She splits into half from her waist; a part of her is lost in the
ground and the upper remaining fragment goes crazy. Better go
mad than face the truth. If we study the Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders and resume the elements presented at
the beginning of chapter 3, we can see that psychoses (madness or
schizophrenia) start suddenly, as a result of an emotional shock most
of the times and are based on the conflict I-outside world (in this
case in connection with her husband’s extra-conjugal relationship
74 Victor Chirea
and enhanced by her vulnerability factors – her childhood abuses),
unlike in neuroses, where the conflict is between the Ego and the
Self (meaning the unconscious elements (Id) and the normative
censorship – the Superego).]
Every day, Ann loses her self-control more and more, she begins
laughing in a way that frightens everybody and she keeps asking
about her daughter. She feels worse and worse… bedridden, having
terrible headaches… she wishes all to come to an end, but at the
same time, her wish to see her daughter again keeps her alive. In the
end, the family gives up and the moment of meeting her daughter
again is emotional. [The patient says through tears: “I did not die
before seeing my daughter. They brought her, I saw her and then I
closed my eyes”. I suggest that she should not hurry and give herself
the necessary time to experience this moment. The girl’s beauty and
youth bring joy to her heart, and the love felt now is healing.]
The girl does not even know that the person in front of her gave birth
to her. Being paralyzed, Ann succeeds in humming a few words, but
her words are drowned in tears of joy. She finally manages to pass
away, with her heart half reconciled by this last beautiful moment,
but with the regret of having died young and not loved. [In such
cases of discontented death, with remaining unfinished live lessons,
reincarnation is quite quick – seven years in the present case. That
is because the Soul is drawn back, on the one hand to recover the
soul fragments left on Earth, on the other hand, being also impatient
to complete its initially chosen plan. Unfortunately, such haste also
implies a more negligent planning of the future life… it is as in
the case when you quickly prepare your luggage to leave town and
then you see that you have forgotten different things. The following
existence is usually a difficult one, bringing over similar traumas
as those in the recently completed life and that is because during
76 Victor Chirea
the reliving process there is the possibility for soul fragments to
be reintegrated. Not to mention that, if the incarnation is in the
same family or in the circle of close friends, then the process can be
accelerated and it could be rather difficult for the person to sustain
the process physically, emotionally and mentally… many times this
can lead to psychic diseases or other complications of the kind.]
Coming back to the present case, I will shortly present the process
that lasted approximately one hour and a half. The patient first
completes her soul, because fragments of her past subpersonality
had remained in the area of her head, heart and abdomen. Then, the
first person she chooses to visit at the moment of death is her father.
She recovers her innocence and purity lost in her childhood and she
gives him back his desire, sexual arousal and all the thoughts and
emotions transmitted to her during the abuses. At the same time,
she recovers her responsibility, as she had left everything to her
father’s care, thinking that he knew better. The two hearts open and
her father can finally give her the love he had for her. She feels
something new and unknown, as if her heart was burning. [I
will make a comment at this point. Generally, in a regression, one
cannot receive emotions and states of mind belonging to other
people, only what belongs to you and the experienced states of
mind awoken in contact with the other one. However, parental love
is an exception. It is as if each mother and father, and sometimes
grandparents come on Earth with a certain amount of love which
is specially meant to be given, in time, to their child. The child can
integrate it as part of himself/herself and can grow up healthily. In
his/her turn, many times the child comes with a healing love for his/
her parents, helping them to develop and overcome blockages and
difficulties. If, for one reason or another, the parent is incapable of
giving these nourishing emotions, then he/she remains with a kind
of debt and the child feels there is something missing; the bigger
the emotional emptiness, the higher the risk of a severe psychic
disorder. In such cases, it is all right to receive within the session
“only that love that belongs to you according to divine law, that
love that your father should have given to you, but did not in that
life.” In this way, we make sure that the parent should not in any
way give to the child the love meant for his own person, because
in that case a new fragmentation process would result. Therefore,
as therapists, we should be careful, even if we have good intentions
and take into consideration these details in order not to create new
disequilibria, while working to heal the existing ones.]
78 Victor Chirea
The patient understands better the reasons why Ann’s father became
an aggressive person who sexually abused her and afterwards
withdrew himself in drinking. He had also experienced quite a hard
life, having witnessed sex scenes in his family and having also been
beaten. And this is how karma is transmitted from generation to
generation, from family to family, until one of the members decides
to assume a harder life in which to process it through a severe
disease most of the time. Once the process is over, tranquility and
peace are accessed.
Ann’s husband from the client’s previous life is still alive at the
present moment when the regression session is performed. Therefore,
we ask permission to work with the highest aspect of his Self, that
part which did not incarnate on Earth, but watches from the more
subtle levels. Then, the energy taken will be gradually integrated
within his present Self that is experiencing the three-dimensional
life. This time, she manages to tell him about the whole history of
her abuses and why she had chosen to marry him and run away from
home. She is released from her relationship with him, accessing a
natural order. [Many times, when connections at soul level remain
with other persons from previous lives, the process of creating close
relationships of a healthy attachment in present life becomes more
difficult, as in the case of the patient who had many failures in love.
It was almost impossible for her to have a well-balanced and long-
term relationship with a man.]
Soul Fragmentation 79
Now we can better analyze the moment when Ann gets mad, when
seeing her husband with another woman. Her soul goes out of her
body then and she feels she turns into a stone. She also has the
opportunity to recover that part. Everything comes into place now
and there is also a separation process regarding what emotions and
energies belong to him and what is her responsibility; it is a part of
fury that belonged to her, but it belonged to him as well, it is his
aggressiveness which used to be transmitted to her every time he
used to beat her. She gives everything back and in return she receives
gentleness and tenderness which she can also feel in the body of
her present life. [And this is because all things and dimensions are
interconnected in a space-time continuum, as quantum physics
shows, quoting Heisenberg’s non-local and uncertainty principle
(for more details see Talbot, 1991 and Goswami, 2004). Even if
she accesses through conscience “the souls’ world” and the time
before, she is also connected to the actual existence and everything
she feels is by means of her senses and nervous system of her present
body. This is an important aspect that contributes to healing, as we
said before: the lucidity of the present Self, but also the presence of
the therapist bring clarity and order in the past Self.]
The fact that she gave birth to a girl instead of a boy as he had
wished or the fact she did not bleed the first time when they made
love, did not depend on her, although she chose to bear it as a burden
and think that she “was not worth being loved” for that reason. Not
revealing a part of the truth and not telling Mathew that she wished
to marry him in order to get rid of her father are facts related to her
responsibility, even if her intention was to protect her family. Once
these confessions are made, her husband has the chance to know
her as she really was and rediscover her.
She recovers her femininity that had drained into the ground together
with her capacity of giving birth to children. She is released from
the fear of getting mad and the choice she once made – “I had better
go mad than be aware of the fact that he does not love me.”
80 Victor Chirea
Things are gradually clarified and we finally reach the relationship
with God. At this level, there were disconnections many times, with
every trauma and emotional failure, the relationship was weaker
and weaker, until finally it entirely ended (in that storehouse where
Ann is obliged to spend the night, being driven out of the house by
her husband); at least this is the Ego’s illusion, since the connection
with Divinity can never be interrupted, as we are part of the
Creator’s body (as I mentioned some pages before). Ann thought
she was cursed, that she was born unlucky in that world, that she is
bound to be unhappy and that she pays for her sins.
I have now checked, if, from the soul perspective she sees things
the same way or can have access to a higher vision… She no longer
perceives herself as cursed, she simply sees that each of them had
to learn some lessons and that it was a hard life. She feels that
what happened served a purpose, although she is not able to yet
fully understand it. She resumes her relationship with God, but she
continues to find it difficult to connect with him. She feels God is just
but realizes this at mental level – she understands what happened,
still, there was too much suffering for all of them. She retrieves
that soul fragment that had denied the existence of divinity, but she
still finds it difficult to connect to it: “I can understand, I know he
is there, but I cannot feel love”. [Indeed, this aspect needs more
time. After the regression, I approached the subject of faith, the
patient being raised in the orthodox spirit and “with the fear of
God”. She stopped believing in God two years before, when she had
experienced a rather difficult moment both in her career and also at
personal level, that very moment also marking the beginning of her
depression followed by the beginning of therapy. After regression, a
few changes took place, in the sense that she started to be interested
in the authentic faith she had met in the Romanian monasteries and
detach herself from the rigid dogma (related to the idea of sin, guilt
and fear of God) which unfortunately still exists in some holy places
and which she says she cannot understand (how can you love God
and at the same time be afraid of him?). Her hatred towards men
has also diminished; she started to feel love and that everything is
God’s creation, but such moments last for a short time. Although
Soul Fragmentation 81
it develops gently, clarity is present. As I said before, this session
is quite actual and there has not been enough time or space for
complete integration. Taking into consideration the multitude of the
aspects approached, I anticipate a period of half a year for the
patient to process the mental-emotional information received.]
4. Soul Reintegration
The simple presence of a man that has healed the majority of his
traumas in the 6 bodies of the Soul will bring about transformation
within ourselves. Then, it is our duty to learn how to preserve that
state.
During regression, the patient comes into contact with the past
life which is brought into present by exploration: he/she can have
bodily sensations, feel emotions, have inner visual perceptions
(similar to oneiric images but experienced in a state of awareness)
or have insights. PLT is a confrontational method which implies
Soul Fragmentation 89
the patient’s reliving the respective trauma at a lower intensity, this
time in the presence of a mature Self and of the therapist as well.
The difference lies in the degree of awareness and although it is
important that the reliving of the traumatic event should be made
in an associative way (as if those things were really happening),
when the patient’s emotions are too strong, dissociative working
techniques can be used, so that the patient can see those very
painful moments from a distance, like in a movie. If the processing
has been made in a correct way, then the respective situation can be
understood, accepted and then let go.
In this way, the process of catharsis which consists of three
categories takes place:
- emotional release, which leads to peace, inner calm and self-
confidence;
- mental catharsis, as a result of understanding the issue, by accessing
mental peace, clarity and letting go of rigid beliefs;
- physical catharsis, which has as a consequence physical peace and
the healing of psychosomatic issues.
During the anamnesis, the patient tells me about her having lost
the motivation and strength to go on and that she does not see any
purpose to live for. Asking her whether she had experienced great
suffering in life, she realizes she never had enough time to truly
mourn her first miscarriage from her youth. While she is telling
the story, she has a very strong feeling of inner emptiness and she
feels her heart is hardened. At the same time, she feels physical and
emotional pain and a very strong feeling of guilt.
Soul Fragmentation 91
The fall into regression happens in a natural way. Being attentive to
her bodily sensations, she becomes aware that she feels something
like a round stone in the right part of her pelvic zone. Further to my
suggestion for her to go back in time where everything had started,
the patient relives quite strongly those happened in her youth,
namely the fear felt when she found out that she was pregnant, the
despair that she could not continue her studies if she had decided to
keep the baby, her parents’ pressure and, at the same time, her inner
conflict, because her spiritual wish was to keep the baby. Moreover,
at that time, abortions were forbidden by law, which increased her
fear even more.
I led the patient further back on, where she relived the trauma of
her loss, but this time at a bearable intensity and with a clearer
conscience. At that time, the pain was very hard, especially because
anesthesia had no effect on her, therefore there were also personal
soul fragments that remained captive in that time and space. All her
emotions from the past, such as guilt, pity, sadness, impossibility
to change things, constraint, fury, frustration, etc. are brought into
her conscience and expressed. All these emotions were constantly
experienced by the patient in her everyday life, without being aware
of their source.
Being asked what she wished to do now for her child, she says she
wants to show it her love. That is also the healing moment of the
session, when “an explosion of love for her child” takes place. She
tells the child’s soul that she was sorry for what she did, that she
had wished to keep it, but, at that time, she had no choice. She has
the feeling that the child’s umbilical cord (that was energetically
fixed on her liver) breaks away, at the same time releasing that part
of hardened energy now transformed into something pink and more
fluid. She comes back to the child’s soul that was now radiating a
shining green color.
Then, she has the feeling that her previous hip gap is being filled
with something belonging to her; she actually feels how her right
hip is being woven back energetically and repaired. The physical
catharsis having been completed and with her soul complete, she
92 Victor Chirea
can now focus on understanding why that soul had chosen her as a
mother and what was the contract between them.
When asking her what exactly she would like to do with the physical
body of the aborted child, she said she wanted to incinerate it and
then spread the ashes in a little lake.
At the end of the regression, the patient feels that she has been
forgiven and unchained and physically she feels that her body has
been restored. Then, she thanks the child’s soul and sends it towards
the light, coming back here and now.
Most of the times, a problem like the loss of motivation for living
requires more sessions, but in the present case, the first step has
been made and the results have appeared quite quickly. After this
regression, certain things she had long wished to do and which had
been blocked for some time for certain reasons started to become
“unhardened”. The first thing she did was to buy herself a car and
then find some land for a house with a yard, which she had wanted
to build for a long time.
Analyzing this case, we can see how a part of the soul that was
preparing itself for incarnation, being taken by surprise by the
abortion induced, did not realize what had actually happened and
remained attached to its mother. The fragment remained without
any conscience and hardened until the moment of the therapeutic
intervention, when it is let go and it can return into the light, to its
rightful owner. At the same time, the mother’s soul comes back into
contact with her body and the catharsis takes place.
But PLT is not the only method through which the past can be
accessed and healed.
A short time ago, I had the chance to meet Sal Rachele, a special
man very devoted to the spiritual work he is performing. We have
organized together the first training for therapists who wanted to
become certified practitioners specialized in Timeline Healing
Technique. I was happy to offer him my office in order to co-
Soul Fragmentation 93
create and establish a teaching method that will surely prove to
be successful. This technique appeared five years ago and was
developed by Sal who further upgraded it by adding other related
techniques called: Reverse Timeline Healing and Future Timeline
Linking created four and respectively two years before.
I will further present some details related to this extremely efficient
method of retrieving soul fragments, then I will make a comparison
between Timeline Healing and Neuro-linguistic programming
(NLP) and respectively Past Life Therapy (PLT).
In antique Greece, there were two words for time: chronos which
refers to the physical, sequential and measurable time and kairos
which means the right or opportune moment, chance, a point in
time when change is possible, when something special can happen,
but this depends on each and every person. While the first term
refers to the quantitative time, the second is related to its qualitative
aspect.
2. The emotional traumas are the most common and many times
we preserve negative emotions such as fear, anger, fury, hatred,
sadness, guilt, shame etc. Other disturbances are amplified due to
repression or emotional denial and in time, they can even somatize.
It is very important to balance these feelings; as I said before, 90%
of physical illnesses have their origin at this level (Rachele, 2013).
Reframing
It is a technique often used in psychotherapy, but also in the
Neuro-linguistic programming (where we speak about contextual
restoration of content and belief). In English it can also be known
under the name of Rescripting or Reforming, being translated into
Romanian as reframing, reinterpretation or resignification.
In a few words, what happens is that now, when you re-experience
the past reality, you will give a new interpretation to the events
(positive, but realistic), so that healing can be accomplished. We
will change the reference frame, in view of highlighting a new
significance, yet considering the context. When you modify the
way in which you perceive an event, the meaning you assign to it is
modified and this in turn leads to the modification of reactions and
behavior.
For example, let us suppose that a professional sportsman (a runner)
is severely injured at one of his legs, which compromises his entire
career. He suffers a lot and feels he destroyed his life. In his attempt
to recover, he attends some massage courses and begins to apply
self-treatment and recovers partially, but he never manages to return
to his initial physical shape before the accident. His heart is full of
rage and he is frustrated and angry with life and destiny for what had
happened to him. Through the Reframing technique, the sportsman
goes back into the past and this time he offers himself a lot of love
at the moment of the accident and due to the connection established
with his soul, he realizes that it was that accident that determined
him to become such a skilled masseur. He forgives himself and
Soul Fragmentation 99
he lets the resentment go, succeeding in connecting himself to a
superior vision (named ‘the third perceivable position’ in NLP) of
what happened; now he thinks: “this accident was a blessing for
me, because it showed me the way where I am now.” Later on, he
is trained to become a chiropractor, succeeding in helping many
young sportsmen that were in the same situation as his. Only after
healing the past, could he let go the energy blocked there and use it
for a higher scope and to the benefit of the others.
However, this was not the real case and later on, David Bohm comes
with a more innovative theory and in order to reach this explanation
he needed to assume from the beginning (and thus invalidate Bohr’s
words) that the electrons exist without the observer and that the
reality can go deeper than the barrier put by the Danish physicist,
namely at subquantic level. He thus defines a field at subatomic
level and calls it the quantum potential and he believes that, the
same as gravity, it penetrates the whole space, but however, its
influence does not decrease with the increasing distance.
Continuing to develop his theory, Bohm discovers some more
interesting properties of the quantum potential. First, there is the
importance of the whole over the elements composing it. Although
classical science says the whole can be determined only as a result
of the interaction of all its parts, we can now add the possibility of
the whole organizing the entire behavior of its constituent elements.
Doctor Amit Goswami speaks about a descending causality (a
term invented by the psychologist Donald Cambell) or “a mind
beyond the body”, namely that it is the conscience that creates
the brain and not the other way round. We can say, as a matter of
fact, that Bohm’s quantum potential has as its structuring agent the
information, the conscience or “the matter’s intelligence” (as the
Romanian Professor Dumitru Constantin Dulcan calls it).
With regard to the subject of interest, this new field showed that,
at operational level, the location started to exist. “All points in
space have become equal with the other points in space and it was
meaningless to speak about something as separately existing from
anything else. Physicists call this property «non-locality».” (Talbot,
1991)
102 Victor Chirea
As such, Bohm could explain the relation between the twin
particles, without violating the principle of relativity. We further
present the illustrated example. If we imagine a fish swimming in
an aquarium and we consider we have never seen an aquarium and
the only information we receive is through two video cameras, one
positioned to the face of the aquarium and the other to one side,
then we could wrongly consider (just by analyzing the images) that
there were two different entities on the screen. If we continue to
look, we will see there is a connection between the two fish, namely
when one of them turns, the other one will make a slightly different
movement, but in correspondence. If we were not aware of the
whole arrangement, we could reach the wrong conclusion that the
two fish communicate instantaneously with each other. It is similar
with the two twin photons emitted at the disintegration of a positron
atom. In this way, the quantum potential that penetrates the whole
space connects all particles non-locally.
For those who are fond of details, I will further offer more
explanations related to the above mentioned principle.
Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle (or indeterminacy) refers to
the fact that we cannot exactly measure at the same time both the
impulse and the position of a quantum particle. Mathematically,
this is written as:
ΔpΔd > h/2π, namely the product of the variance momentum and
of the distance coordinate is less than or equal to Planck’s constant
reduced:
We give as common factor the speed of light (c) from the second
bracket and we insert it in the first:
Soul Fragmentation 105
Let us now imagine that the observer that we may call the divine
Self (our divine part which is not manifested on Earth) is capable
of interacting with any of these little ants which have all been
fragmenting and it can see which of them got stuck on their way
Soul Fragmentation 107
and which of them reached the destination and let us suppose that
at some moment, the observer will choose one of the ants and offer
it the possibility to contact its sister that has already reached the
final destination. Then, the one on the way can have a talk with the
one way ahead of it (from the future) and can ask it how exactly she
managed to go all the way and what route it chose, and then use the
information in order to make better choices, have less moments of
indecision and less fragmentation.
As you may have noticed, there are quite a lot of similarities, but
also differences between the different existing therapy methods;
112 Victor Chirea
eventually, such a diversity is good for the therapist to be able to
choose the most appropriate method for every client. Sooner or
later and in accordance with our own rhythm, we will eventually
reach the end of the tapestry, like the little ant in the story...
At 7 a.m. I had to leave the room because I was the last one to
leave. I started to look at the people in the monastery: tourists, local
people, all kinds. All were happy, smiling and full of life. Why are
these people so happy? Maybe they put something into their food…
I wanted to participate in their religious service (puja). I followed
the sound and I dashed into their holy sanctuary. They asked me
to take my shoes off and keep quiet. I did not have the courage to
leave my shoes out, as I thought somebody might “borrow them”
forever, so, I took them with me. Noticing how disoriented I was, a
disciple showed me the way, smiling. I smiled back at him and went
quietly to the place indicated. I slipped through the small tables and
sat down. I found a place where I hid my shoes and I was happy.
A monk drew my attention to this place, saying that it was used
for their sacred texts… my God, I was so ashamed. I smiled at
him nicely, he smiled too and he … I do not wish to think what
a European would have thought of me at that moment, but I am
almost sure that the young disciple had not judged me in any way.”
114 Victor Chirea
It took me one day and a half to harmonize myself with their way of
living and, in a few days, I felt as if I had been living there forever;
in the end, I did not wish to leave. All the discomfort disappeared.
I found out that we had only provisionally been moved to those
small rooms; then, they offered us the guest rooms. I slept like a
king. The food prepared at the monastery was delicious and I miss
it even now. The chills on my spine continued for several days, but
afterwards I was warm all the time. I found out later from those
who had been there, that the master was working on us as we were
asleep and that the feeling of cold came from the telluric energies
we had been reconnected to.
Since a photo values more than 1000 words, here are some
illustrative images:
Soul Fragmentation 117
Joao was born on the 24th of June 1942, but he belongs to the
category of ageless people. His family was of a modest condition
and therefore, he had started working since his childhood, first in
his father’s tailoring workshop. He attended primary school for
two years, then poverty forced him to give it up and even today he
can’t read or write. But all these are quite unimportant if we are to
consider his special gift, namely the ability to allow multiple holy
entities and angels to use his body so as to heal other people. He had
the first experience of this kind at the age of 16, when being guided
by a vision of the Saint Rita of Cascia, he was led to the Spiritualist
Centre of Christ the Savior, where, helped by the entity of King
Solomon, he healed more than 50 people.
At the same time, prayers sessions are held for a few hours, three
times a week, to help the healing process of those who are suffering
or for spiritual elevation. Sessions can be held at the “crystal bed”,
blessed Passiflora pills and holy water can be bought and soup is
served free of charge to everybody after meditation. And last but not
least, you can visit the “Sacred Falls” (Cachoeira), a true wonder
of nature.
A large green lizard appears from under a rock and turns to me with
a jerky gait, shaking its head up and down; a little colorful bird
follows it. Here the animals and insects are not afraid of human
beings. In the distance, two golden green parrots do their morning
dance. A little orange butterfly is flying right in front of my eyes and
peacefully going into the valley. What else could I wish more but be
in this place right now!
Soul Fragmentation 125
It is just you alone and nothing is disturbing your peace. I feel like
being ‘at home’ here.
Sometimes there is nothing to be seen, you can only hear a rustle in
the grass which is moving its top. And you know for sure that there
is life there, a heart is beating there probably 2-3 times faster than
yours. I am going to miss this place...
Although I had found out that it was a place full of love and I had come
prepared to receive more of it, I was surprised that I experienced a
different state and this happened spontaneously at a moment when
I was in the beautiful gardens inside the ashram community. What
I experienced then was a thoughtless state of mind which I had
experienced before, only that now it was present for a longer period
of time (about 2 minutes). Then, I felt an immeasurable peace and
tranquility, I had the feeling of being fully connected and that I
knew everything; the clarity of mind was great and, without any
effort, I could be aware of everything around me and at the same
time my intellect was resting. Unfortunately, when I realized what I
was experiencing and said to myself, “Aha! I have no thought” and
that was already the first thought that put an end to that beautiful
state of connection. So far, I have not experienced these states of
mind again, at the depth they happened then.
Other nice moments that will forever remain in my heart were those
spent with the people from the community.
One day, as I was resting in the garden inside the ashram, I was
Soul Fragmentation 127
surrounded by some children who simply began asking me different
simple things that they had learned in school, using English. I
answered them mostly using the sign language and some words
that I had noticed they would understand and, in the end, I could
tell them about respect and love and that they had to be good guys
and continue to learn and work and that they should be proud of
their country which was a very nice place. They were smiling and
playing, but after some time, we began to sing mantras together,
while some people gathered around. Some of the children were
looking at me curiously, because I was the only white man in the
garden. Finally, as I had to go and prepare myself for the evening
prayer, we all took a photo together and then, upon the children’s
insistence, we said good-bye in a European manner by shaking our
hands.
