Suicide is a sin or an act of courage?
Many years ago I heard that he was an old classmate of my suicide. We were very close, but we went to school and Sunday school together and we formed the kind of bond that through the sharing of such activities. Be touched, I do not remember much about the message, because I remember him his cheerful nature and his inability to write correctly a certain word was.
For some reason I was surprised how much the people around me had to be disturbedSuicide. One person cynically revealed that it is not my classmate first suicide attempt, and that once a person who had the decision to kill himself, nothing and nobody would stop them and one day he would have succeeded. The result was that people wanted to kill himself, and could be deleted, because in their minds they had already violated the sanctity of life that was given to them.
The other thing I noticed at the time was the lack of compassion fromChurch. I became aware of an ancient practice in which people who committed suicide were not entitled to a Christian burial and their bodies were not even welcome at the cemetery. This is obviously intended as a sanction for the deceased, but in reality, punishment has a grieving family, who had many questions.
I was not particularly troubled by the suicide, and really do not think my reaction at the moment. I was young and committed, and that the person did not touch myLife.
However, later in life, a person close to me died of an overdose of alcohol and drugs. He had a long history of abuse and spent the last years of his life in and out of psychiatric hospitals and rehabilitation facilities, but, of course, nothing could ease the pain inside that he wanted to get rid of.
I started asking questions about death and dying. I would be involved in the early Lifeline (), the South African version of the Good Samaritan, where I learned to deal with a lot of thoughts of suicidePeople on the Helpline.
The most important part of training was not to react emotionally when a person says she would kill herself, but rather they represent the continuity and consequences of such a radical solution, and help them realize that other options have.
I had two such calls during work on the helpline. In both cases the men had a conversation with me where the logic explains why he decided to take her life. Inthe opinion that the only and best solution. In my mind were completely irrational and very disturbed.
One of the callers was a result of the call, and receive medical treatment, but the other hung up the phone and I remember reading the local newspapers with a sense of concern for months later, in the hope that a description of research after a suicide bombing that correspond to the information that the caller has given me.
It is there that for the first time aware ofvery important lesson that I can, and have full responsibility for my life to take, but I can not do much to change the lives of the decisions of others.
Somehow, I was surprised at the nature of my questions about death and dying, because people generally fear and avoid the topic of death and no questions. I wanted to know exactly what happens when a person dies. I wanted to understand the process, because I knew intuitively that death is not the end but a process.
I discoveredthat death is the moment when the spirit leaves the body is inhabited in this incarnation. The spirit is not destroyed, but to live. The mind is energy and energy can not be destroyed. You can only change its form.
I also noticed that is taken after the death of the Spirit, let's call him an "intensive care", where successful, how much love and care that is necessary for recovery from fatigue to die. Some spirits rapidly, for example, if a person who knew that hisWork has been done here, and let alone the body. Other spirits take longer to recover, for example, when the death occurred suddenly, or death, when the self-inflicted and went through torment, if we can achieve this treatment "intensive", we only l 'love, no matter what the circumstances of death were. These are the people who are left behind the verdict and added that the speculation and sadness.
Some spirits are back in another incarnation, so that they can complete the work, andthe lesson was interrupted, while others move to a higher level.
Because we are a big part of our eternal consciousness, if we tend to lose ourselves born into this world, people who want to commit suicide, who are alone and that nobody would understand them. We live in a culture where we believe that this life is all there is, and if we have to fight to deal with our problems here, we often feel we have a place to go. The hereafter is to us, instead, as a relief from the "martyrdom" of thisLife have, when the truth is that this life means an important element. When we have overcome this challenge, we are free to the joy and love of this life experience. Our spiritual guides and angels and God are there to help us, if we only give the opportunity to do so.
Now I understand that if a person ends his life here, is probably the most courageous of what they always do. They understood the sentence that the societies they live and the sense of guilt andThe pain that their families do, but the pain of their existence weigh all the concerns they have on those around them.
Elisabeth Kubler-Ross wrote a book called On Death and Dying in which she describes the various stages of grief. There is a point in the process of mourning, when a person comes from a depression and everyone takes a sigh of relief, because they show interest in the world around them.
For a person who is the suicide of the most vulnerable timebecause the person who then has the power to terminate its existence. From the moment the person is at this point are desperate and very alone. This is a state of mind that none of us can become a different person. All we can do is keep our opinions to us and love the person. We can not determine the path that everyone else. We can only love each other unconditionally.
If you read this thought and the end of your life, you think:
This is a legend of the CherokeeIndian Youth rite of passage. The father of the young man brings him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone. He sat in the same room all night and not remove the bandage until the sun rises the next morning. No matter what happens, is not allowed to ask for help at all.
Naturally, the boy is frightened. The night of sound contributes a lot and you can hear many sounds strange and frightening. The wind feels uncomfortable during the night and the rustle of leavesuncanny.
But the boy knows that the only way he could become a man to access the entire night with her bottom with his eyes blindfolded, no matter what happens.
In the morning when the sun rises, the boy finally removed the blindfold and discovers his father sitting on the stump next to him. The boy then learns that his father had been seen throughout the night, protecting his son from harm.
The boy is not allowed to tell the other boys of this experience, because every boy needs to come toMasculinity on their own. Having survived the night, is a man.
Addition, we are never alone. Although we do not know, God watches over us and sometimes sit next to us helps us. When the dark night comes the soul, all we need to do is to get there. Just because you do not see God, does not mean that there is not.
Blessings and light, and above all love for you.
