David Bettenhausen

Dr. Dave serves as the vice president of medical affairs at a small Midwestern hospital. Whether he is at the hospital or his private practice, he daily coaches his patients about their well-being mentally, physically and spiritually. He believes in a holistic approach to life and regularly lectures and conducts discussions with groups of patients and physicians on healthcare. He has a personal interest in the stages of grief with death, dying and spirituality. Before he entered medical school, Dave practiced as a registered nurse for ten years.

After years in private practice as a physician in Ohio, Dr. Dave was approaching personal burnout. He had always valued being a positive example to his patients, and as his life became less joyful, he felt he was no longer doing that. He had weight issues, and his life was spiraling downward. Carla, as his office manager and friend was the vessel that carried Dave to meditation and the ultimate healing of himself. Meditation led both of them to an encounter with a set of wise spiritual beings known as Mother, Isabella, God and Elizabeth, which revealed many past lives to Dave and Carla. Through the insights Dave received during meditation, he underwent a personal transformation and regained his sense of self, which led to a weight loss of 116 pounds. He again found his joy in practicing medicine and with his patients.

THE GIFT OF PAST LIVES

Have you ever had the sense of déjà vu?

Have you awakened with thoughts you believed to be dreams but were much too vivid and detailed?

Do you have a deep familiarity when meeting someone new, that cannot be explained?

It is said, there is no such thing as a coincidence. Is there?

We learned there is no Hell. If given the opportunity, what questions would you ask God?

What happens to our loved ones when they die? Will we see them again?

Why can’t reincarnation be real?

Is who we are, a product of our karma?

How did two people, living 750 miles apart, end up meeting in this life not just once, but twice? Then, it all started with a simple question, “Do you want to try meditation?” We did start to meditate and discovered a portal to past lives and a whole new path to better living. Our journey has taken us through 29 lives together, as kings, queens, slaves, slave owners, white skinned, black skinned, rich and poor. Along the way, we learned a lot about ourselves, God and why we reincarnate over and over again. We learned about our Spirit Guides and Angels, that there is no Hell and why bad things happen to good people. How does it all work when we come to Earth and why are we here? What does God expect? We gained new insight into every question imaginable in life and death and received the answers. After meditation one day, we both had a shared memory of a life in 1925 that involved a young man named Jonathon and his love, a young flapper named Ruby and her greatest inheritance, a large red, ruby ring. The ruby ring had traveled 1,111 years, exchanging owners many times, only to end up on the hand of one of our authors. Just as the ruby traveled life after life, so does our soul. Our lives have taken us through parts of history that will shock and surprise you!
