Interview with author and researcher Ian Lawton, hosted by Mark Chatterton for TheSpiritGuides.co.uk

Ian Lawton, born in 1959, is the author of several spiritual books. He is also the architect of the notion of Rational Spirituality. After gaining a degree in Economics from University College, London and qualifying as a chartered accountant, he sold computer software for several years before, in the late eighties, helping to found a business and IT consultancy company.

In his mid-thirties he forsook the commercial world to become a writer-researcher specializing in ancient history, esoterica and spiritual philosophy. His first two books, Giza: The Truth and Genesis Unveiled (2003), have sold over 30,000 copies worldwide. In The Book of the Soul (2004) he first developed the idea of Rational Spirituality, also establishing himself as one of the world's leading authorities on the interlife. And in The Wisdom of the Soul (2007) he first introduced the idea of the holographic soul.

His other books include The Little Book of the Soul (2007), The Big Book of the Soul (2008, a complete rewrite of the 2004 book), Your Holographic Soul (2010) and The Future of the Soul (2010). The next two books planned are and The History of the Soul (a revision of the 2003 book) and Autobiography of an Angel (a debut historical novel).

Ian has just completed the first stage of his training as a hypnotherapist, and has set up a practice at his home in Bournemouth. He also creates artwork using driftwood collected from local Dorset beaches.

In the interview with Mark Chatterton, Ian Lawton talks about his books and how he became a full time writer. He talks about his research into Reincarnation, Karma and Past Life Regression, which he has written about in his "Soul books". He also talks about his latest book, "The Future of the Soul", which deals with the whole concept of 2012, the expansion of consciousness and the whole future of the planet...

In today's show Gregory and the group covered the following questions below, with additional questions injected from the host to dig deeper. Gregory also discussed the Gulf of Mexico oil spill at the end of show, where he raised concern around the new cap to stem the flow, apparently this is building up extra pressures that are now allowing fissures to open up on the sea floor which can spread the leak.

Question 1:

"Thank you all for the program, I love listening very much. I am a healer practitioner. When will things get better, Gregory. Everyone I talk too! Seem to be in turmoil and things happening to them shootings, stabbings the news also full of it. "

Question 2:

"I have been a healer for many years, love my work and love my healing guides. I would so appreciate understanding how to improve my ability to 'converse' with my guides so as to improve my intuitive sensitivity and improve my ability to be a vessel for healing. Could Gregory please suggest a way to break down a little the barrier between an instrument such as myself and spirit guides."

Question 3:

"What fate lies for Europe's economy now we are coming out of one of the deepest recessions for many decades?"

Question 4:

"My question today is: Although I realize events are "fluid" and mass consciousness plays a role, what is the likelihood of a planetary "axis shift", and if there would be a dramatic shift is there a chance we would enter a "parallel earth reality" while this is happening?? Any insight would be helpful. I ask this as I know in various places there is a storage/keeping of seeds in huge vaults as if some governments are expecting something huge to happen, as in huge natural planetary shift that will wipe out food sources for awhile."

And much more...

Gulf Oil Spill Update

Gregory discussed the many issues that the dispersants will have on the region, with high levels toxicity in the water and environment.

Mars

Discussion on the time window for supportable life on Mars which was formed around 4.6 billion years ago but lost its atmosphere and magnetosphere around 4 billion years ago, leaving a small window for life; however Mars was a vibrant planet with oceans at that time.

Ark of the Covenant

We discussed the story of the Ark of Covenant, alleged to have been used by Moses during the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. Some people describe the Ark as some kind of God like instrument and others simply suggest it was more a weapon of mass destruction. It's now rumoured to be in Ethiopia. Gregory was very apprehensive talking about the object which could be an indication that the object was not what many people believe it to be. People still hold it in high regard as an instrument of God and may not readily accept it being anything but. Anyhow, whatever it was, if in fact it did exist, it was way beyond the technologies of the people supposedly living at that time.

Unknown binary star or planets orbiting our sun theory.

It's a common mystery within in the new age community that there may be another unknown binary star or planet orbiting our Sun that some claim could be planet X or Nibiru. Gregory understood and respected why people believed in this theory but from the groups own research they haven't come across such an object. Gregory discussed his reason why.

Stonehenge

What was the purpose of Stonehenge?

Gregory gave a comprehensive account of what the Stonehenge was used for, how it is also connected to the many Ley lines in the area. The main purpose seems to have been for healing and helping those that had passed into the next world. A ritual performed by the druids. Because of its location and use of particular stones the energy in that location is very powerful. Many churches and cathedrals are also built along the many Ley lines to utilise the same energies.

Pyramids

We also discussed the use of pyramids.

Spirit World

Gregory gave us some wonderful answers to the following questions.

How does a spirit know that a family friend is about to visit a medium and connect with them?

How does that process work from the spirit side?

Do spirit people live in houses?

Is there music in the spirit world?

Are there more colours in Spirit?

Do people spend time with family groups?

Do Spirit rest or sleep?

Do children grow up in spirit slowly or do they appear is they were before they left?

What age do most people project themselves to be in the spirit world?

Do spirits still eat?

Can not letting go of somebody that has passed for a long period of time hold the spirit person back on their journey?

And much more...

In today's show we discussed the following topics:

Unicorns, Elementals, Different Earth Races, Helping Others, Miracles, Psychic Surgery, Oil Update, Mar's Moon Phobos as an ancient dwelling and Oceans in Space.

We also covered the following questions from our listeners this week:

Listener 1:

"Ian - thanks for today's show. It has resonated particularly with me. The notion that those in spirit are not by definition 'higher' than us is something I had not considered and, in my work as a healer, this kind of elevates one's position to an equal member of the human/spirit healing team - not in a bad way but in a way that I feel to be very helpful.

One question for Gregory, if you can, please.

He stresses that one does not have to come back to the earth plane to experience all that must be experienced - one can gain this experience from others in spirit. Some of us come back to earth to help others with their journey.

Many earth people don't have the least understanding of their spiritual journey, however.

Are they back here to help others achieve scenarios for those others to experience or what - I don't understand why they have come back if they could have learnt what they need in the spirit world.

Hope my question is clear! Thank you for these shows, Ian - they are always illuminating, interesting and educational."

Listener 2:

"I have a couple of questions for Gregory if you have a chance...

What is his opinion of psychic surgeons?

(The ones that look like they are actually doing surgery on the patient).

Also has he met any unicorns, what is the best way to contact them?

Do miracles really happen, if so are people chosen to have miracles?

Many thanks and absolutely love the show. "

Listener 3:

"

Excellent show once again team.

There are 2 burning questions I have.

One is why do we have different races on earth such as black, white and asian?

Also, is there a law to stop spirit guides helping in crime investigations such a Madeleine McCann?

Thank you. "

Oil Spill - Gulf of Mexico

We spent the beginning of the show discussing the ongoing catastrophic oil spill spreading across the Gulf of Mexico, discussing how much is leaking and whether humans can fix the problem.

Also the environmental impact on an already-near-dead sea. The US Government and local states really need to take back control of the situation from BP to get a handle on the true extend of the problem.

Indigenous Groups / Native People

Gregory discussed the plight of the young people from the many indigenous groups around the world who are being left behind and neglected as we continually strive for a western approach to living in an already materialistic and out-of-balance world. Many of these lost peoples are turning to alcohol and drugs to get through the loss of their sacred lands and culture. Many elders have spoken about a future prophecy where a day of purification would come if the US government doesn't include them in talks and help bring balance to modern life. Gregory compares the Day of Purification prophecy to the tipping point that he has mentioned before that could in fact happen if we don't change the way we are treating the environment and each other.

Gregory provided some answers to the following questions:

Do E.T's (Long thin Grays) have spirit guides?

Why do we have to forget who we are when we are born, is this normal?

Gregory spoke in one of the last shows that it's more common for souls / spirits to have a non physical experience and that it's not essential to have a physical life.

It can cloak the spirit in negative energies and distortions. This begged the question, why would souls want to come to Earth then? Why would we put ourselves through the sometimes harsh experiences to come here at all?

Dr David Hamilton Interview

Today's guest is Dr David Hamilton PhD, a research scientist who worked in the pharmaceutical industry for 4 years after gaining his PhD.

We touched upon:

-The Magic of Gemstones And Colours .

-Past Lives and Future Lives through Hypnotic Progression.

-Sharon shared her vision of a possible future using progression techniques. In the lion's share of cases the future came across as avery idyllic. A time in our future when we're fully settled into the Aquarian age energies.

-We discussed breaking patterns and working with the ego.

-Sharon shared her views on 2012 and how the awakening is an ongoing process of moving out of one age into another. We're are now moving away from the old devotion type energy of following others to becoming our own leaders .

Iceland Volcano

We discussed the large volcanic eruption in Iceland recently and what Gregory's thoughts were on the increase in changes that are happening world wide, are they part of 2012 heading towards a huge crescendo or part of a natural cycle that the Earth goes through from time to time. We also discussed the previous large eruption back in 1783 where 20,000 farm workers were killed due to dangerous sulphuric gases choking people in many parts of Britain. Could something like that happen again?

Noah's Ark

We discussed the discovery many years ago of satellite photo that seemed to depict Noah's ark or a large boat perched on top of mount Ararat in Turkey. Could this really be the boat mentioned in the Bible. Christian explorers recently made their way up the mountain where they took samples which seemed to confirm that this indeed could be the Ark. Gregory confirmed that this was indeed the Ark and the actual event that took. A very interesting perspective.

More on UFO / Alien Disclosure

There have been more and more reports in the mainstream indicating that extraterrestrial life could be out there on other moons and planets in our solar system, albeit at the microscopic level. However in some small way it does appear to be pushing humanity in the right direction to change our mass thinking on the subject.

Even Stephen Hawking as come out saying that by his own mathematical calculation E.T life has to exist and we should be very cautious about making contact with them as they may wish to come here to squander our resources much like what humans do. Also Buzz Aldrin the NASA astronaut has been actively pushing for an exploration of Mar's moon Phobos, which he says has a large E.T based monolith. There does seem to be a push at some kind of level of disclosure or a more open mindset. Gregory agreed this was indeed the case and gave his perspective on the subject.

3rd and 4th Generation Night Vision Goggles

We discussed the many sightings that people have seen in the upper atmosphere of many large unconventional UFO type craft zipping around at incredible speeds beyond the visible light spectrum. People who have 3rd generation or 4th generation military grade night vision goggles are apparently seeing these things quite openly moving about. Is there a secret space program, battle between different advanced groups or guardians protecting the Earth? Gregory did agree......

The last past of the show Gregory answered some listener questions below:

1. How many lives has Gregory had and is Area 51 real?

2. A listener woke up one morning with a loud voice saying the numbers 888, she wanted know if they had any meaning for her and what they could mean.
