The Suicide

The act of suicide is a mistake. Not only for the obvious reasons, but for reasons that are unseen, as well.

Once the suicide has crossed over, the first thing he realizes is that he is still as much alive as ever. From beyond the veil, he is able to look back into the physical realm and see the sorrow of all those whom he hurt or disgraced by his rash and unintelligent action. He also experiences an indescribable feeling of being "hollowed out". The reason for this is as follows:

Prior to the rebirth of a new personality, an archetype is constructed in the mental regions of the reflection-sphere. This archetype acts as a mold for the physical body that is to be used in the coming life by the personality and is set to vibrate at a particular frequency for a previously-determined period of time. We can liken the purpose of the archetype to an hourglass where the vitality of the personality is represented by the sand therein. Not until the last grain of sand drops can we consider our earthly incarnation to be over.

In the case of natural death, the activity of the archetype ceases, and the mold which was used by the dense, physical body is taken over by the astral, or desire body. In the case of the suicide, however, an awful feeling of "emptiness" remains until the time comes when, in the natural course of events, his death would have occurred. It is said that the feeling is like a "gnawing" that will not go away.

In addition, the next personality will have to re-live the life just terminated, repeating all scenarios right up to the point of despair where, once again, he or she will have to make a decision as to whether to battle on or terminate the experience. There can be no progress until the proper choices are made. It is therefore very short-sighted and extremely unwise to attempt to end an incarnation prematurely.

The deep impression of this singularly unpleasant after-death experience is very powerful and remains with the microcosm. The memory can be instrumental in helping to prevent future personalities from falling victim to the temptation of suicide in subsequent lives.

Those who do not have insight into the invisible worlds or knowledge of the fact that life persists beyond the veil of so-called death will, in ignorance, selfishly choose the option of suicide as a means of escape from difficult and unpleasant earth-life situations. If they were aware of the foregoing, it is possible that they would think twice before choosing to "end it all".

It is said that a personality is never presented with life situations and scenarios that he or she cannot handle. Each life is set up for success, not failure. Much depends on whether the personality succeeds in making the right choices. Therefore we must remember to battle through whatever difficulties that earth-life may present to us, as all troubles are designed to balance karma, assist with soul-growth, etc.

God will not be mocked. We must play the hand that we are dealt. It is our job to turn lemons into lemonade. Suicide is not an option. Never was, never will be.
