Back cover copy Over thirty five years of exploring past lives, the afterlife, the interlife and the spaces in between have convinced Judy Hall that we are not victims of circumstance, nor are we solely a product of karmic consequences.We are all following a soulplan which may be strewn with obstacles but which will ultimately lead to soul growth.So if you've been asking yourself why certain things have happened to you, the key may lie in other lives or in the space between lives - the interlife.More than half the world's population believe in karma and reincarnation; that they have lived before, died, and taken on a new body, and that the body and the life they lead has been created by their previous actions or by the contracts they have made with another soul.However, from interlife exploration, it is clear that there are souls who are still fulfilling a soul contract that is way past its sell-by date.There are also souls who have chosen to undergo a specific life experience not because of their karma but because they want to cultivate their soul or to offer service to humanity. In this wide-ranging book, Judy Hall encompasses the vast kaleidoscope of karma and interlife choices. The Book of Why explores: * how the soul reincarnates * death and the afterlife * the concept of karma * moving beyond karma * soul contracts * interlife choices
