Suicide - solves none of our problems in the spiritual world

02/06/2010

Suicide - solves none of our problems in the spiritual world Doing away with yourself is not the best way of avoiding challenges and suffering, because things are actually even worse afterwards. Nobody has the right to decide on their own death; it is a desertion, which has to be paid for with further suffering. There is no place above for those who want to leave; they will not be welcomed: they have to wander in the lower regions of the astral plane for as much time as they had left to live on earth. The attitude of those who decide to put an end to their days reveals great failings in them. Firstly, they are ignorant, since they do not see the purpose of the trials they have to undergo. Next, they are conceited, since they think they know better than heaven the conditions they deserve. Lastly, they are weak, since they cannot bear difficulties. So we have ignorance, conceit and weakness. And heaven is displeased, because they have abandoned their post. Heaven cannot have regard for those who make the decision to do away with themselves, because they are placing themselves above the lords of all destiny, and they will later have to undergo great suffering.
