Today's post is about what really happens to humans that commit suicide according to research done by Michael Newton, Ph.D., who holds a doctorate in Counseling Psychology and is a certified hypnotherapist as well as a member of the American Counseling Association.
Mr. Newton has developed his own age regression techniques in order to effectively take hypnosis subjects beyond their past life memories to a more meaningful soul experience between lives. He is considered to be a pioneer in uncovering mysteries of our life in the spirit world which was first reported in his best-selling book Journey of Souls in 1994.
The information about suicide that I am writing about today, comes from his book, Destiny of Souls-New Case Studies of Life Between Lives. The author says that what he has found in his practice is that a soul's energy force may, during troubled times, disassociate from the body. There are those who feel they don't even belong to their bodies and if conditions are severe enough , these souls are prone to thoughts of suicide.
Part of this turmoil stems from conflicts between the soul's immortal character meshed to the temperament of a host brain with all its genetic baggage. There may also be influences of abnormal brain chemistry and hormonal imbalances affecting the central nervous system that might contaminate the soul.
Souls don't represent all that is pure and good about a body or they wouldn't be incarnating for personal development. Souls come to Earth to work on their own shortcomings. (My thoughts) We reincarnate for the purposes of self-enlightenent (to know thyself)... This is why we should never judge a soul. However, we can judge their actions in human form. In terms of self-discovery, a soul may choose to act in conjunction with, or in opposition to, its own character in the selection of a human body. As an example, a soul combating tendencies toward selfishness & indulgence might not mix well with a human ego whose emotional temperament is disposed to engaging in hostile acts for self-gratification.
Another element that the author has found, is that immature souls (souls that have had very few lives, therefore they are immature or not very experienced) often have difficulties handling the poor mental circuitry of disturbed human beings. There is a counteraction of the soul self versus the human self. A push-me pull-you force is struggling to present a single ego to the world and not doing very well in the process. These are internal forces, not external forces at work. A disturbed mind does NOT need an exorcist but a competent mental health therapist.
Mr. Newton writes, "When I work with clients who have committed suicide in former lives, the first thing most exclaim right after the moment of death is, "Oh my God, how could I have been so stupid!" These are physically healthy people, not those who are suffering from a debilitating physical illness. Suicide by a person, young or old, whose physical state has reduced the quality of their life to almost nothing is treated differently in the spirit world than those who had healthy bodies. While all suicide cases are treated with kindness and understanding, people who killed themselves with a healthy body do have a reckoning.
What happens to souls involved with suicide in healthy bodies? These souls tell me they feel somewhat diminished in the eyes of their (spirit) guides and group peers because they broke their covenant in a former life. There is a loss of pride from a wasted opportunity. Life is a gift and a great deal of thought has gone into allocating certain bodies for our use. We are the custodians of this body and that carries a sacred trust. My clients call it a contract. Particularly when a young, healthy person commits suicide, our teachers consider this an act of gross immaturity and the abrogation of responsibility. Our spiritual masters have placed their trust in our courage to finish life with functional bodies in a normal fashion, no matter how difficult. They have infinite patience with us, but with repeated suicide offenders their forgiveness takes on another tone.
In suicide cases involving healthy bodies, one of two things generally happens to these souls. If they are not a repeat offender, the soul is frequently sent back to a new life rather quickly, at their own request, to make up for lost time. This could be within five years of their death on Earth. The average soul is convinced it is important to get right back on the diving board after having taken a belly flop in a prior life. After all, we have natural instincts as human beings and most spirits tenaciously fight to stay live.
For those who display a pattern of bailing out when things get rough there are places of repentance for a GOOD purpose. These places do NOT contain a pantheon of horrors in some dark, lower spirit region reserved for sinners. Rather than being punished in some sort of bleak purgatory, these souls may volunteer to go to a beautiful planetary world with water, trees and mountains but no other life. They have no contact with other souls in these places of seclusion except for sporadic visits by a guide to assist them in their reflections and self-evaluation.
Places of isolation come in many varieties and I must admit they seem terribly boring. Maybe that's the whole idea. While you are sitting out the next few games on the bench, your teammates continue with challenges in their new lives. Apparently, this medicine seems to work because these souls come back to their (soul) groups feeling refreshed but knowing they have missed out on a lot of action and opportunities for personal development with their friends. Nonetheless, there are souls who never adjust to Earth. I hear some are reassigned to other worlds for their future incarnations..."
I don't know about YOU! But I thought this was fascinating to read about... Open minds lead to open hearts..
Namaste
