Michael Newton, PH.D. and Brian Weiss may be on to something. Did they base their ideas on Jung?

Is there a modern day Jung influence psychologist who is furthering this field of thought?

He pretty much just repeated what I'd already learned from Alan Moore and George Frazer.
He did a good job of it, though. His and my uncles influence have inspired me to apply to study anthropology as a mature student.

I'm not familiar with George Frazer. I'll look him up.

I read your reply and thought assumed Alan Watts. What did Moore teach you?
