Deepen your connection with (and receive support from) your council of guides... and align your life purpose with your soul’s archetype.
Master lessons carried over from your past lives — to heal and transform yourself and your relationships.
Have you had a glimpse of a past life? Maybe it was in a dream, a shamanic journey, or a near-death experience...
Or perhaps you have a sense that your relationship with a close friend or family member stems from a connection before this lifetime...
Many cultures believe in reincarnation (both religious and nonreligious societies), with the idea that souls evolve in ways which are unique to each soul.
And regardless of your own experience or beliefs, you can glean wisdom, guidance, and clarity from these glimpses of the past, or from sensations that you’ve “lived before.”
This wisdom can shine light on the challenges of your life, here and now.
Receive Practical Wisdom From Your Soul Guides
Your existence as a soul is a continuous cycle — beginning at birth, ending upon death and reviewed between lives in the spiritual realm, with your council of guides.
Within each incarnation, your guides are on hand to help you understand and master the lessons your soul needs to complete, in order to grow.
These supportive beings have pertinent information for your soul’s evolution in this life...
For example, if you have a chronic illness, your guides might reveal to you a past life linked to your illness. You might also come to understand relationship patterns, family dynamics, and wounds you’re carrying — and that your soul intends for you to heal in this lifetime.
Who Are Your Guides?
One of the members of your team of guides is your primary guide... a guardian angel, animal, loved one, or simply a power or force. Your higher self, or soul energy that remains in the divine realm when you are incarnate, can and often does, serve as guidance.
A deceased parent or spouse can also guide you. Widows and widowers report feeling the essence of and reinforcement from, their loved ones who have “crossed over.”
And it’s actually relatively easy, for you to develop a direct, intuitive, and reliable connection with your guides.
The key is learning to utilize and trust yourintuition, clearing the channel so you can identify your guides and receive their wisdom and support.
You can discover how, in this 7-week journey, which will feature Linda Backman’s latest teachings on the seven divine archetypes, Earth-based and interplanetary souls, as well as guided practices, journaling, and assigned readings.
Each of us as a soul embodies our immortal energy that is one-seventh of the highest light. What’s more, when we honor the qualities of our soul archetype, personal acceptance flows.
— Linda Backman
Discover Your Soul Archetype: One of Seven ‘Rays’ of Divine Energy
There are seven soul archetypes, according to Linda Backman, author of Bringing Your Soul to Light, The Evolving Soul, and Souls on Earth (forthcoming from Llewellyn). These seven aspects (rays) of divine energy are sequential and equal in power and importance.
Your own soul is identified with one of these archetypes, which is immortal and predetermines your strengths, gifts, and purpose throughout your lifetimes.
Your soul archetype is also foundational to the choices your soul makes in between lives (with the help of your guides) — to engage in particular relationships, professions, and other endeavors, which allow your own soul and others’ and humanity as a whole, to evolve.
The Energetic ‘Signature’ & Divine Purpose of the 7 Soul Archetypes
Ray 1: Initial Divine Energetic Force
Purpose: Instigate change on Earth
Ray 2: Equanimity of Divine Force
Purpose: Promote equality of all people
Ray 3: Divine Force Utilized in Cooperation
Purpose: Assist people to work together
Ray 4: Expression of Divine Force Through Artistry
Purpose: Convey higher intention through aesthetic endeavor
Ray 5: Grounding Divine Force Through Structure & Logistics
Purpose: Configure higher intention into human action
Ray 6: Cooperative Groups Through Self-governance
Purpose: Function within groups to advance society
Ray 7: Alchemy of the Needs of People, Animals & the Environment
Purpose: Operate as a human culture through self-sustainment
Are You an Earth-based or Interplanetary Soul?
Your soul’s evolution may also include “interplanetary” lifetimes — experienced in realms beyond Earth.
Because interplanetary souls originate from sacred celestial locations, where equality exists in a healthy lifestyle, which includes telepathic communications, lack of dissension, and suitable care of self, they bring wisdom which is essential to humanity at this time.
Chronic sleep challenges, hypersensitivity, autoimmune, and attention-deficit disorders may indicate a person is an interplanetary soul. If you don’t feel quite “at home” in your body, you may be one of the rare interplanetary souls, an increasing number of which are now incarnating on Earth, according to Linda Backman’s work.
Apply the Keys to Soul Mastery, Taught by a Renowned Expert
Linda Backman brings a rare, grounded approach to working with past lives and soul evolution. Trained as a traditional psychotherapist and skeptical of New Age teachings, she became a teacher and past life regression therapist somewhat reluctantly.
After being in private practice as a therapist for 25 years, clients began presenting material which they associated with events and people in past lives.
Through these discoveries, Linda became convinced the soul evolves and is influenced by three distinct factors: Support of spirit guides; the purposeful, archetypal energy of the soul; and the nature of incarnations on Earth, and for a small number of souls, other planets.
With all that’s unfolding in the world, you might be asking yourself, why you would have intentionally incarnated during this time ?
Your guides can reveal this information to you...
Awareness of your spiritual guides, soul archetype and trajectory of your soul over many lives, are keys to balancing and healing karma and expressing your dharma, or soul gifts.
During this profound, 7-week training with Linda Backman, you’ll discover:
Greater Connection Through Live Streaming Video
So you can better connect with Linda and her teachings, all of her sessions will be live streamed on video. This video connection will be easy to use and will enhance the impact of Linda’s teaching. Or, you can easily connect via audio, either through the Internet or your phone.
What You’ll Discover in These 7 Weeks
Course sessions are on Tuesdays at 4:00pm Pacific.
In this 7-week transformational journey, Dr. Backman will guide you through the fundamental spiritual skills and competencies you’ll need to deepen your connection with your council of guides and align your life purpose with your soul’s archetype.
Each session will build harmoniously upon the previous ones so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles to master lessons carried over from your past lives for healing and transformation in your life.
Modules 1-3 will span two sessions each, to allow for deep engagement with each of the three main topics Linda will be presenting. The course will culminate with Module 4, in a single session that will help you better integrate the teachings.
You’ll receive in-depth teachings and experiential intuitive deepening practices to access guides leading to input about your soul’s archetypal “signature” and purpose. Linda will also present true-life case studies of soul regression from her client work to ground and expand the teachings. In addition, you’ll be given weekly exercises and journaling questions to deepen your access to your guides and help shift current life challenges.
Linda will be available for LIVE Q&A on most class sessions to engage with your emerging inquiries about the course material.
Module 1: Receiving Information From Your Guides
How to Develop Your Intuitive Capacity (May 29 & June 5)
Everyone has intuitive capabilities. Your own intuition functions through your sensory capacities — images, emotions, body sensations, auditory information, and thought. These are the mechanisms by which you receive information from your guides.
Trusting this mechanism and in your own skill is a critical step in mastering intuitive reception. In this module, Linda will guide you to deepen awareness and confidence in your intuitive abilities and help you understand when and how your guides are “speaking” to you, especially your primary soul guide.
You’ll discover:
- How to acknowledge and trust your strongest intuitive, sensory abilities
- How to “label” the energy of your spiritual guides
- Your primary guide and their soul nature
- Signs that your spiritual guides are communicating
- Coordination of the higher realm by advanced guides
- A guided practice, in which you’ll have an intuitive encounter with your spiritual guides, ask them “life” questions and receive answers you can trust
- A buddy to support you in developing intuitive reception
Module 2: Identifying Your Immortal Soul Signature
The 7 Archetypes of Divine Energy (June 12 & 19)
Divine energy, divided into seven equal, sequential aspects, is essential on Earth for humanity to evolve into an egalitarian culture. Each soul embodies an immortal energy that is one-seventh of the highest light. This signature or archetype manifests in the events, people, and choices in your current life and past lives.
Your soul archetype is unchanging and must intertwine with the other six energies to function as a unit. Whether you lean more in the left-brain, linear approach to life or the right-brain, creative direction, you are exactly who you need to be.
When you honor the qualities of your soul archetype, judgement of yourself and your life dissipate, and self-acceptance flows.
In this session, you’ll:
- Know the value of bringing the highest “light” to Earth
- Understand the 7 soul archetypes and related characteristic energy
- Identify your own immortal, soul archetype
- Identify the beneficial and unfavorable aspects of each archetype
- Recognize the soul archetype of other purposeful relationships in your daily life
- Enhance their purposeful relationship with souls of different archetypes
- Expand their actions in life to enhance their this-life agreements tied to their soul signature and commitment to humanity’s evolution
- Engage in guided practices to deepen your intuitive capacity and access to your spiritual guides
Module 3: Earth-based & Interplanetary Souls
Understanding the Origins & Path of Your Soul (July 3 & 10)
When Homo sapiens life began to evolve, souls from elsewhere in the universe arrived on Earth. These interplanetary souls brought their expanded level of evolution from their soul’s home base. The word Homo sapiens comes from Latin, meaning wise man. Many of these souls have come and stayed, incarnating repeatedly on Earth for tens of thousands of years. Such souls are referred to as Earth-based souls.
In contrast, some interplanetary souls embody infrequently on Earth. Often there are hundreds or thousands of years in between Earth incarnation. At this time, more interplanetary souls exist on Earth than in recent times due to the great need for advanced soul wisdom. As a rule, interplanetary souls are highly evolved, yet are challenged to function within Earth’s lifestyle of inequities and unhealthiness.
Many interplanetary souls are children in great need of being understood and not categorized. Earth-based souls must support interplanetary souls; interplanetary souls must inform Earth-based souls. Often Earth-based souls are the parent or life partner of an interplanetary soul.
In this session, you’ll come to:
- Recognize and honor key aspects of your past lives that explain this-life knowledge, skills, and gifts
- Identify current life challenges that stem from past lives
- Discern whether the bulk of your past lives have occurred on Earth or interplanetary
- Recognize how your Earth lives provide the capability to manage everyday life
- Comprehend where interplanetary lives occur
- Perceive the unique qualities of an interplanetary soul
- Differentiate between spiritual guides for Earth-based vs. interplanetary souls
- Access your guides and discover whether you are an Earth-based or interplanetary soul, with related gifts and challenges
Module 4: Align Your ‘This Life’ Purpose With Your Soul Archetype
Deepening the Mystical Bond With Your Guides (July 17)
Your intuitive spirit-guide bond is invaluable when you trust that you are ALWAYS able to contact your soul-level guidance. Your soul is immortal, and your communication pathway with your guide is everlasting. The “chemistry” of merging with your soul and soul guide can easily be labeled as mystical.
You expand the magical qualities of your spiritual-guide bond to embrace your this-life-purpose by merging the awareness of your soul archetype with your evolutionary life path on Earth and interplanetary. This leads to bringing your soul’s wisdom to Earth in life today and transforming humanity’s ills and struggles.
In this culminating module, you’ll discover:
- How to honor your intuitive capability at all times
- Respect for the ongoing presence of your guides
- Function daily from your purposeful immortal archetype
- Utilize the wisdom and skills of their soul’s evolution on Earth and interplanetary
- Accept the gifts and challenges of interplanetary souls
- Support interplanetary souls, whether children or adults, related to their purpose and unique qualities
- A guided intuitive experience to alchemize and transform your soul’s energy, life purpose, soul archetype, and Earth-based/interplanetary experience.

I think you’ll want to take advantage of Dr. Backman’s message that an exploration of life between lives will enable you to experience: understanding of the soul’s overall purpose and of the purpose of the incarnation under review.
— C. Norman Shealy, MD, PhD
“Her work serves as a valuable source...”
Dr. Linda Backman... her work serves as a valuable source of independent, professionally obtained data that corroborates the results Newton gained in his own practice.
— David Wilcock, Author of The Source Field Investigations
“A clear and concise understanding...”
Linda does an excellent job of bringing in the many years of her own in-depth experience and expertise and mingling it with her clients’ experiences. The result is a clear and concise understanding of the "why" behind people’s challenges and losses, plans and expectations for their current life...

— Marilyn Kaufman, Ontario, Canada
“The most powerful work I have ever done...”
[Linda’s] work is the most powerful work I have ever done, short of my Vision Quest, which was probably in a similar state of superconsciousness. I cannot even express the impact on me of seeing who I am and how it fits into the Divine Plan.
— Debi L.
“I’m calmer, happier, more fulfilled...”
[Linda’s work] provided me with a sense of peace and purpose, a confidence in looking at the world, and a new way of looking at my place in it. I don’t want to set the world on fire anymore, I just want to live a meaningful life and to do my very best to help others. I’m calmer, happier, more fulfilled, easier in my life priorities, and I have a sense of purpose and rightness.
— Mungo D.
“A wake up call for me...”
[Working with Linda] was a wake up call for me, and made me realize I needed to reconnect with this life in order to finish what I’m supposed to be doing here. I’ve had a glimpse of what’s waiting at the end of this road, and it’s more wonderful than I could have imagined.
— Diann R.
“In the spirit world I am big and powerful...”
What stands out to me is the message that I am humble in my life here, but in the spirit world I am big and powerful (in a beautiful way). I have limited power in this life so as not to overwhelm people around me — so I can function in society.
— Lara P.

I have never participated before in an online course. The packaging, presentation, inclusion and Facebook postings created a wonderful, safe cocoon to participate. I haven’t seen a course so well put together ever — not in all the years of taking college classes — and I had my doubts about doing an online course. The wealth of organization and ease of learning materials and support made this fun as well.
