"O Sane and Sacred Death" is a fascinating exploration of the soul's passage beyond death into the multi-faceted dimensions of consciousness of the after-life. Dr. Ireland-Frey has used authentic conscious recollections of death by persons regressed in hypnotherapy. Her work provides a valuable addition to the body of literature devoted to what happens when we die. In the process, she has provided an illuminating road-map to aid individuals in passing over. As such, this is an important and ground-breaking book on the soul's survival.
Louise Ireland-Frey, M.D., had her first encounter with death in Colorado as a young girl, when she had several flashbacks to a past life when she drowned in the ocean - as a boy in China. Interest in such subjects continued through college (at CU Boulder), graduate school (at Mt.Holyoke College, Massachusetts), and medical school (at Tulane University). While in medical school she received membership in Alpha Omega Alpha, the Honor Medical Society, and graduated in 1940 near the top of her class.
In 1979, after conquering a health problem of many years through self-hypnosis, she took more training and became a hypnotherapist. Past-life encounters were frequent among her clients, and, as she reminds us, "When one has lived before, one has died before." She states unequivocally, "Consciousness does continue after the body dies."
