Michael Newton’s Important Statement Regarding LBL Training:
In his later years Michael and the leaders in MNI became increasingly concerned that some people had taken his work and were teaching it for their own gain. As a spiritual visionary of great integrity it concerned him that his life’s work would be used by some for personal gain. He chose at that time to make a statement to the world regarding these schools to clearly state that MNI was the only organization he endorsed to continue and expand further, his contribution to the evolution of consciousness for humanity.
“I am delighted to support the work of all currently-certified members of the Michael Newton Institute for Life Between Lives hypnotherapy who follow our true methodology and who are bound by our organization’s Code of Ethics. There are others, however, who promote themselves as ‘LBL practitioners’ and ‘LBL teachers,’ yet are not members of MNI and have not trained with our organization, even though they claim affiliation with me and my life’s work of exploring the spiritual realm. Still others have had such training and membership in the past, but are no longer current members with up-to-date knowledge of MNI, its goals and the latest developments in our methodology. Some left our organization so quickly after their initial LBL training that they did not receive the monitored exposure and feedback from our regular members. Some offer ‘LBL training’ but have not, themselves, followed the training and preparation required by our organization to teach LBL. I can endorse only training programs run by the MNI training team and its approved [Career Partner] affiliates. People have a right to choose their own paths in life, but too many of those who have left our LBL organization still use my name for their own personal gain and claim an inaccurate and misleading association with the methodology that grew out of my research. I am concerned about public perceptions. Unless they remain in the MNI membership, how can I vouch for their skill levels or even know if they are following our Code of Ethics in their conduct? Because of these issues, they have neither my endorsement nor my support. The MNI team works hard to evolve and develop LBL methodology, but focuses on maintaining the core principles of my original research.”
