Suicide Is Not The End Of A Person

Does anyone really know physical death is truly the end of life? 

Suicide is a deception when you realize you are immortal. What if there was life beyond this reality? People with what is referred to as supernatural abilities will tell you there is more to life than this reality. The belief that death will end whatever has brought a person to contemplate taking their own life is a falsity that has been widespread to disempower and propagate fear. Life is eternal. 

This article focuses on the desperate attempt to alleviate torment and pain with final actions to end life. It’s not about the slow suicide many people participate in when they engage in risky behaviour. That’s a subject for another blog. 

Physical death is simply a separation from the physical form. Believing life stops after physical death can foster feelings of disconnection and hopelessness. In many cultures, people facing imminent death from aging, contemplation in preparation for the transition back to spirit must include doing whatever is needed to bring peace within one’s self. 

The essence of who a person is goes back to spirit where it came from. If your essence on this earth is riddled with unhealed trauma, unforgiveness, limited view, and anything that separated the self from the whole, these things that restricted growth and evolution on earth, will add to the energetic nature of a being. However, they’re not the sum total of who you are.  They are reflections of the life just lived.

Resolve issues here and now

Basically, what this means is there is no running away from issues. There’s no easy way out. Unresolved and unfinished business carry on with you. The saddest part of it is that these issues would’ve been easier to resolve on the physical side. When people cross over and their view of the world is expanded, they’re able to understand, not only their limited point of view, but the effect they had on others around them. Suicide may have removed them from the actual physical circumstances, but it will not have erased their mental and emotional turmoil. 

From a broader perspective, souls who’ve returned to spirit still have to reconcile with the truth they had choice. Choice may not have been so apparent from a limited and wounded interpretation of the world, but a change in perspective is always possible. I am reminded of a woman I met while learning Reiki who shared her story with the group. She told us she had suffered throughout most of her life with suicidal tendencies. She said, one day at one of her lowest points, she had heard to voice of spirit ask her, “Are you going to do this for the sixth time?”  Whether you believe in spirit or not, this simple question dramatically changed her perspective. She then understood, it was strictly her choice. This is but one story of many like it. 

Without dismissing the horrors some people endure; there’s widespread help available because this is indeed a significant problem of our times.  A list of suicide hotlines and prevention resources available around the world can be found at this page or here at Wikipedia. Youths struggling with suicidal thoughts related to their sexuality, can find help at the Trevor project, an organization dedicated to helping the LBGTQ community. Their 24/7 help line is accessible through the Contact Us tab.
