On another Singapore forum, Physiocrat asked :
Karma of suicide ?
Chanced upon an incident:
Someone committed suicide by jumping off from home.
Days latter, the family living directly below was scared shitless
as they witness the "thing" jumping off from the exact same spot
again.
The family of the deceased (Chinese Christians) was thus pressured
by the neighbors below (Malays) to quickly go do something about
it.
What happened later on as to what was being done is unknown but do
know that the family started to seek advice from alternative
religions.
I replied him helpfully (hopefully so, at least) :
When a person dies under emotional trauma, including suicide
(ie. the emotional suffering that caused the suicide in the first
place) and other traumatic deaths (eg. torture / murders), the
energy of the emotional pain and psychological trauma naturally
accompanies the consciousness after the physical/biological body is
dead. Such 'ghosts' are more correctly termed psychotic
post-mortems, or psychologically unstable/distressed after physical
death. There are also known as 'earthbound', not because of any
punishment or hell (erroneous concepts by dogmatic religions,
themselves misguided) because the energy and state of psychological
pain and suffering (or anger, hatred and murderous intent for some
individuals) 'binds' or 'traps' these consciousnesses or 'ghosts'
in the physical earth plane, making it harder for them to move onto
other planes of existence of higher consciousness, frequencies and
vibrations, including reconnecting with their extraphysical 'home'
and soul families.
Karma is not punishment, there is no 'god' or being(s) of
authority that determine one's karma and/or 'punishment' (as
dogmatic religions would have you erroneously think). Karma is a
natural aspect of existence, not a religious concept of
'punishment'. In didactic or pedagogical ways of human thinking,
karma (which may be conceived as 'work', and/or 'cause-and-effect'
or 'action-and-consequences', both obvious and direct, as well as
subtle and indirect, and goes across lifetimes and karma also
uniquely describes every unique relationship you have with all
others, ie. your karma with every individual and every relationship
is unique, and works across all your lifetimes in multiple levels
and multiple ways) is therefore a mechanism of personal
consciential soul evolution. Karma, which is best described as a
neutral, natural law (like any law of physics or chemistry), is
therefore in this regard, a useful mechanism that works intimately
with physical reincarnation, another useful mechanism or tool for
personal soul evolution (including the useful karmic work and
progress in all relationships with all others).
Now that it has been understood that karma and reincarnation are
*not* about punishment, let's look at suicide. Each and every
suicde, and/or abortion, etc, is a unique case with unique
background, karma and energy. Because most suicides are done in a
state of severe psychological pain and suffering, hence as
mentioned previously, it is a natural phenomenon (and not
punishment), that most suicidees bring into their 'afterlife' or
the extraphysical after discarnation or death, the same psychic
energy of psychological trauma and pain, causing them to be
psychotic post-mortems or 'earthbound ghosts'. These can be helped,
and the relevant guides & helpers connected to the individual
are alerted and do try their best to assist, but it takes time and
(most importantly) willingness for the discarnated ('deceased')
consciousness or 'ghost' to understand what's going on (some of
these psychotic post-mortems don't even realize they're already
dead, or take considerable time and reluctance to realize this),
and they must want to let go of their emotional pain, suffering and
baggage, and be willing to move on. Usually, due to the vibrational
nature and proximity of the psychotic post-mortems memories and
their tendency to 'cling onto' earth, hence self-imposing their
earthbound condition, they are 'stuck' in the physical plane, and
as such, the extraphysical guides & helpers may often need the
assistance and energy of intraphysicals or still living people
(either consciously if possible, but such is rare, so often the
process is unconscious or semi-conscious on the part of the
assisting intraphysical ; there are however, many intraphysicals or
living people, so-called 'lightworkers' or 'healers' or psychics or
even psychotherapists who consciously seek to assist the psychotic
post-mortem to move on in some manner, using varying modalities and
different, unrelated systems or schools of thoughts, of varying
levels of religiousity or spirituality; these can be either working
consciously or unconsciously with the various guides &
helpers).
The karma of most suicides, does indeed carry on into future
lifetimes. The 'sin' (there is actually no such thing as sin or
morality, only ethics and cosmoethics) of suicide, is really that
(in most cases), it is a tragic waste of a lifetime and the
valuable opportunities of that physical incarnation cut short. Such
valuable opportunites, include the opportunity for the soul to will
and exercise emotional strength and tenacity, in face of emotional
challenges and pain.
(At this point, it should be noted that some suicides, are
ethical or appropriate suicides. Although rare, there are
circumstances in which the suicidee commits the act out of a clear
level-headedness, eg. self-euthanasia involving incurable
delibitating medical conditions; and/or for the sake and
consideration of others around, etc. As such does not carry as much
emotional pain, the state of the consciousness upon death, and the
associated karma, is naturally different. What then, determines the
karma of such a suicide, wil be other factors such as the
underlying motivations, including how 'selfish' or 'selfless' the
nature of the suicide.)
Notwithstanding and nonetheless, in the majority of cases in
which the suicide was not necessary and not appropriate, not only
will the suicide be perceived and seen as a tragic waste of life,
effort, resources and opportunity, by the the soul's evolutionary
orientor, guides & helpers, and others in the soul family (or
families), but in almost all such cases (of inappropriate
suicides), the soul or higher self itself, will terribly regret the
suicide as an act of emotional weakness or even 'corwardice' (this
judgement is usually more self-imposed, the guides & helpers
are somewhat more understanding and sympathetic). As such, karmic
learning opportunities to revisit the karma and of suicide, will be
arranged in future lifetimes, until the karma and issue of suicide
(including emotional strength vs weakness) has been overcome and
mastered to the satisfaction of the soul (and the soul's
guides).
As an analogy, just as, if one fails or performs
dissatisfactorily for the A level exams, one might wish to retake
the exam, either within the same JC, or at a private school, or as
a private candidate. Even moving on to other pathways of academia,
such as a polytechnic or private university, it is still giving
oneself the opportunity to overcome one's failure or
underperformance at the previous exam. Similarly, many souls will
(some more willingly, some less willingly) recognize that unless
he/she overcomes the emotional weakness and/or disatisfactory
handling of the stresses / issues / relationships that led to the
suicide, for which only physical incarnation can provide such
opportunities, otherwise the weakness or failure or
underperformance will remain as part of the soul and soul's karma,
and more than the soul's guides & helpers, it is the soul
him/herself that wants to re-dress this, to have the opportunity to
relive the emotional trauma and circumstances that led to the
emotional weakness of the suicide.
As such, human souls with this issue of suicide, having
committed suicide in a past life, or commonly, several past lives,
will continue to revisit this in this lifetime and future
lifetimes. The way to identify such individuals, is that they have
stronger and average suicidal tendencies. It is almost definitely
karma from past lives. Such souls in physical incarnation will
(naturally and obviously, not so much consciously; but rather
subtly have such circumstances attracted and arranged by his/her
guides at the request of his/her higher self or soul) attract
similar emotional difficulties, could be with the same individuals
or different individuals, as from his/her past lives, in a bid to
test him/herself again in this lifetime, in terms of emotional
fortutide and tenacity, to be tempted by suicide, but be strong
enough to overcome such tendencies, ideally out of respect and love
for others around him/her, and out of recognition of the value of
life and physical incarnation as well.
If you know such a friend or relative with such suicidal
tendencies, give him/her the emotional support as best as you can
give, together with, if possible, an understanding of the suicidal
karma across lifetimes, so that he/she may better understand and
appreciate what's at stake, for him/herself, to grow in strength to
overcome the weakness of suicide. Such growth will be a permanent
addition and benefit for the soul, and not just this lifetime
alone.
If you know someone who has committed suicide, and are concerned
for him/her (eg. you worry that he/she might now be suffering as a
earthbound psychotic post-mortem), then there are several options
you can consider. I do not recommend religious rituals, because
religion in general, is not helpful to anyone. Tis best to be a
self-responsible free-thinker. Even religious exorcisms to handle
psychical intrusions of a darker nature, including those that
religions have called 'demonic possession', and/or by
extraterrestrial abductions or encounters of a negative nature
(these are entire separate topics for entirely separate
discussions), are certainly not recommended due to their
adverserial us-vs-them unhelpful polemic nature, and can often do
more harm (to everyone involved, including the extraphysicals
and/or extraterrestrials involved in what may be multiple level
nested intrusions, or in some cases, severely misunderstood
intentions) than good.
What then, are your options? There are several, and you can do
your own research in this vast subject on the internet. As
mentioned previously, there are multiple, unrelated systems and
schools of thought here. As always, particularly in such fields or
domains, be careful. Caveat Emptor. Charlatans or fakes, are not
the worst possible scenario. Those who have a genuine need can PM
me (if the need arises in your future), if you wish further
suggestions in this regard. You can also google "Hilarion Reading"
for more information on one possible such avenue of (completely
benign and safe) a request for assistance.
But here's something you can safely do : Ask and you shall
receive. Ask (aloud if you find it helps) for assistance from the
guides & helpers (it does not matter if these be your own
personal guides & helpers, or the deceased's guides &
helpers, or yet other guides & helpers that specialize in such
areas; they will network and assist together in ways appropriate
from their side), to help the consciousness that has discarnated
(whether suicide, murdered or any type of death), to heal and move
on.
You might ask : but if the guides & helpers are already
aware of the discarnate's psychotic post-mortem plight, and are
already doing what they can to assist, then how does my asking them
for help, make any difference? The answer is : as an extraphysical
asking for help, it will help the various guides & helpers to
better coordinate, plan and execute their assistance, they may work
through you or with you, eg. psychically/energetically with your
willingness as an intraphysical anchor and/or conduit, for
isntance. There are many ways, but as long as you are willling to
assist, particularly if the deceased (a misnomer, as he/she only
temporarily ceases physicality, and certainly not his/her conscious
existence!) was a friend or loved one, whichever way or combination
of ways are employed, it can only be helpful to yourself and to
him/her.
Another possibility in such a scenario, in which you may feel
telepathically inspired and guided by the guides & helpers, is
for you to speak (aloud, if you find it helpful) to the deceased /
discarnated consciouisness or being or 'ghost', in a loving and
helpful way, communicating that you're aware of his/her continued
existence, of his/her possible confusion (if you sense it there is
such), expressing your understanding, sympathy and empathy, and
communicating to him/her to be aware or to look out for incoming
guides & helpers, which are here to help him/her understand
his/her situation, adjust, heal, do what is necessary and move on.
Because the deceased / discarnate's consciousness is usually more
attuned to the physical plane and to the consciousnesses of the
intraphysicals, such as friends, rather than that of incoming
guides & helpers, you will, in such a (fairly common) scenario,
serve as a 'middle-man' or helpful 'bridge' that both parties (the
deceased/discarnated or psychotic post-mortem) can see, and hence
can make use (of you) to 'see' and establish contact with each
other, so to speak, allowing the guides & helpers to carry out
their assistantial work with the deceased/discarnated
consciousness, to adjust, heal, move on to the higher planes of
consciousness (the energetic portal often conceived in one's
consciousness as a light, hence you might say something along the
lines of, "when you see the guides & helpers, you might also
see a loving, healing, guiding Light, it is safe to move towards
the Light"), and assist in the process of reintegrating the
consciousness back to his/her own higher self or soul, to his/her
own extraphysical home, own soul community, soul family or
families. Souls will experience a period of rest and recuperation
as much as necessary, before a Life Review takes place (not one of
judgement, but one of helpful guidance, a higher form of
post-mortem work review that organizations employ in the corporate
world today) in preparation for the next physical lifetime or
incarnation, whenever that may be, varying widely depending on many
factors (a separate topic for a completely separate
discussion).
Send love (this is important : do not send or feel emotional
grief or pain, the consciousness that discarnated, has more than
enough of that, and doesn't need anymore) to the person who has
passed on or discarnated, this will be psychically helpful for the
consciousness to 'awake', heal and move on. Sending love is sending
emotional strength, and it always helps. At funerals, feel love and
not grief, the best that you can. That's the best way to assist the
consciousness to move on.
No worries that this is the final goodbye, because it isn't. The
unique karma and love that you have with every other individual in
your life (and all your lifetimes), continues on forever, just as
all souls, continue on forever. Across space and time, across all
your lifetimes, and across all your existences. Your love and your
relationships, continue on forever.
