So far in my research I have not been able to emulate Newton's findings for the most part. Most of my subjects have been able to access their past life memories and usually meet their spirit guide, but I've only rarely been able to explore afterlife memories, and each individual's account has been unique thus far. Most subjects tend to visualize a light after passing over in their past life, but I have yet to encounter the typical meeting at the gate followed by a life review. I attribute this mainly to my lack of skill and training so far, but it does make me wonder about his findings. I've even had one LBL hypnotherapist tell me to not expect what was found in Newton's books, when I was considering getting a session myself. But its interesting to think about, regardless!

When under hypnosis, you don't get access only to your subconscious, but at the other participants' subconscious too: facilitator's and witnesses'.
Your regression experience is influenced by those participants' beliefs and emotions.
Have you noticed how one regression hypnotist tends to get subjects that describe similar experiences? If the hypnotist subscribes to Newton's model of afterlife, that hypnotist's subjects will describe that kind of experiences. If the hypnotist believes in aliens, that's what his subjects will describe.
You didn't get the same descriptions from your subjects as Newton did, because of your reservations about his model.
This is why the LBL hypnotherapist told you to not have those expectations.
I read Newton's, Weiss', and others books. I don't subscribe to the anthropomorphic afterlife models they presented. They're similar to religious models, with another twist.
