What article? Must be a miscommunication somewhere.

Oh, I thought you said you've found out why the rainbow diet isn't working for so many people. You said you were going to post your findings soon. ... Or... was that you?

Thx, Spiritua, does that have something to do with how people are always looking at the scales and measuring themselves?

Yep, that was the secret. If you weigh yourself, you risk short-circuiting the magic.

Use me for a living example. This topic is probaly closed because I stumbled into it while searching "where does the soul go afther suicide" on google. I am seriously thinking about it today, and this most likely will be the most serious attempt I have ever made. The most ignorant thing I heard someone say is " the people who go around talking about it most likely wont do it." My friend dave killed himself in May of 2000. The talk and the signs were there. I will admit that talking does help one to vent and clear the mind. However when it is about suicide it is most ofthen one of the first cries for help. So take me for example, My father suffered from depression so it could be chemical. I just got out of a four year relationship and I became abusive. She was my only friend and I have no one else to turn to.I feel very codependent and I don't see myself going on wtihout her. She is to hurt to communicate with me, and afther four years we seriously need space anyway. I have no insurance, and when you don't have money, the hospital for the mentally ill is Tinly Park which is like a prison. I have been there before and sometimes didnt even get to see a doctor. I want counceling but I refuse to go to Chatham which is another free clinic. The last time I was there a counceler laughed at my expereinces being of mixed decent. I could try to work but I hardly leave my room. As a matter of fact if this is the easy way out, money would be one of the main things I would look foward not having to worry about. As for the theory that people do it as a means of revenge. I admit that I have thought about it in that way on some level. I mean that people would appreciate me more when Im gone, and I know they will wished they have reached out. But for the most part I think everyone is better off without me and I will only bring people down. I can't say I know where I am going afther this. I heard that you could get sent back with physical deffects. Physical deffects are rare and suicide is common amongst a certain age group and race. This is really the only answer I know. I don't really want much out of life. People ofthen give me finacial answers. Money is not my problem. It may pay for better help. Yet Im sure if this is all a chemical imbalance I will most likely suffer from depression for the rest of my life. I just want out. If I am to be judged by this in some spiritaul realm. How could a chemical balance be held against me? These forces should try being me.

My views...

Why do some souls choose suicide?

Because they do not feel they have any other options to get what they want. The same is true of any negative or violent action. The intent can be positive, neutral, or negative. So you can hit someone, hit yourself, kill yourself, with the best intentions. Remember the suicide cults. The point is you think it is going to give you what you want.

Do suicides go to Hell?

Everyone who is in a very negative state of mind goes to hell when they die. This happens through pure attraction. In Hell there are volunteers to help them to overcome, if they want, their negative patterns. Reincarnation is simply another learning process to do this.

Do suicides get bad karma?

Yes, I would say so, but it depends on how clinically depressed you are and whether you can control yourself. Suicide is murder. If I pushed someone off a bridge that would be murder. If I did it to myself, the same. Think of how you would try someone for murder. Would you let them off on an insanity plea.

Is dying of old age like suicide?

Yes. People who die of old age are damaging their bodies through negative thinking processes that cause aging.

What can people who are suicidal do?

There are always options for people who are suicidal, even though their current consciousness level prohibits such an awareness, leading to a bit of a paradox for how they are to get out of the bind. Suicidal people are the spiritually blind ones, people who do not understand that they have full control over their destiny. Feeling themselves victims of circumstances or society, they think the only way out is suicide. I do not believe anyone wants oblivion. I think everyone wants life, or else their bodies would spontaneously fly apart by the atoms. People want life, but they do not see any options for getting the life they want. Increasing the number of options they have is the first goal of anyone helping a suicidal person.

LibraCat9 please don't do this. I don't think you should. We all make mistakes. I have done awful things in my life, everyone has skelatons in the closet. I have felt how you are feeling.

If it is chemical, perhaps you could take lithium that is what I take. That helps my mood swings not go too low- they can go extremely low.

But maybe you just need something to take your mind off of the present situation, I don't know, I just would like to see you log on again and say how you are doing, OK?

I totally agree with what theFajita said.

I am tired of the condescending attitude some people have about others who commit/attempt suicide. Calling them weak, or saying that those people are selfish or will go to hell...it just seems so unforgiving to me. Not that I in any way condone suicide or think it is okay. It is obviously a horrible, horrible thing, and it is never a way out. It's never an answer.

All I'm saying is that as human beings we should try to have compassion for others who suffer, and not judge them. I personally believe that people can do bad things, but that doesn't make them bad people. My friend was going through such rough times and I realize that her judgement was not very good, but nonetheless I forgive her whole-heartedly. I believe in inherent goodness; that people, when you strip off all their layers of conditioning, are, at their core, love and goodness. Some may find that naive or idealistic. Maybe it's because I'm still so young. I hope not....I really hope I will always feel this way.

You have never been deeply hurt by the evil of another or yourself. When you are, you find that evil cannot be shaken off so easily by a pinch of love and forgiveness. It takes years, lifetimes, ages even of time to conquer evil. Suicide claims many lives through its evil, and those lives are not resolved, do not go to Heaven, etc. Besides, whether you forgive someone who commits suicide only makes a difference to you. They still have to forgive themselves.

A way to look at suicide and wrongness is like this. If someone murdered someone you loved, would you be angry? Would you consider the act of murder wrong? What if the murderer was the victim? Does that make it any less of a murder, does that make it any less wrong and cruel? Would you let a murderer run free?

When I say Hell I am not talking about the Christian Hell, the eternal purgatory for wickedness, and if you want to read my comments that way it is your problem. Nevertheless if you murder yourself, it is an evil act and it binds you through its negativity and vibration to a lower plane of existence. This is just how the universe works. Nothing forces you into hell, you put yourself there. If you can kill yourself with a smile on your face, you go to Heaven. It is not the act but the negativity inherent in it. If you are about to commit suicide but die of accident instead, you still go to Hell. Am I being judgmental? No. I am not judging anyone. I am just telling the truth. This is a very serious topic and only the truth will do.

Then I was shown how I would harm other people close to me, such as my husband and my sister, Tony, by taking my life; and by extension, countless others. There were people on the earth whom I would never meet who would be affected by my suicide. Because of the anger and pain I would cause them, my loved ones would be unable to store up the goodness that they were meant to pass on to others. I would be held responsible for the damages - or the lack of good - they would do while immersed in the pain of my selfish death. And I would pay dearly for it, since spiritual laws dictate that all of the harm, including lack of good, stemming from my death be punished by a measure of suffering. Even though I couldn't foresee the ripple effect my death would cause, I would be held accountable. God himself is bound by spiritual law, and so there could be no escape for me.

Mercury I don't think Gooberz was negating the importance of this topic. I stand in because not everyone has been through the experiences you have been through and might feel different about approaches to evil, etc.

I think different people are here for different reasons...perhaps some like you teach wisdom, and some teach love like Gooberz.

I think there is no doubt suicide is a selfish thing and hurts all people around, and is negative. I also know the pain must be very big to consider such things. So what I like to do and maybe my reason is for validation. SOmetimes people just want to validated and heard and listened to and know their feelings are real.

But since (in my opinion) you are here to teach us wisdom, I'll shut up (for once), yes I am capable

Eternal damnation is not a state that God forces upon anyone, even though humans have a tendency to promote that belief (and it has its uses, because it scares you into being good). It is a state people force upon themselves. Not having the internal resources to feel good they give in to feeling bad. They stop wanting to redeem themselves. Nobody who tries to get better is denied a teacher and a path to redemption, but what happens is that overburdened by their own negativity people fall down and stop trying to get up. To help them at that point would require taking away their free will, taking away their Self of Self. To some extent reincarnation does that. By blocking your memories of past lives, it effects a certain degree of Self loss. But reincarnation, like everything else, is voluntary, requiring a desire to improve.

If you are one of those people that does not regard suicide with any seriousness, then you obviously never went through those feelings or had a loved one kill themselves or die suddenly. If you have you are at the very least going to be upset just hearing the word.

I do not like the idea of God or judgment any more than you do. But I have the hindsight of having been suicidal, and the hindsight of having spoken with God and God is not like the way religion says. God is not some A**hole in outer space who decides your fate. I hate astrology for the same reason. I hate the idea of being controlled or judged by some stupid rules. But I do know that pain, suicide, and negativity are very real things and nobody should want to increase those things for themselves.

It sounds conceited but I agree with you. I also agree Gooberz is here to teach love or at least something I cannot teach. I have no love to teach. There is no more love in my spirit left. In many ways I am already in Hell and that is why I comprehend the sheer horror and futility of it. OF COURSE I would warn other people who seemed on the verge of entering my domain. I put up a sign Abandon All Hope Ye Who Enter Here. Unfortunately, I know all too well of what I speak so overconfidently.

I read your responses but I am shutting up

Well I just don't want you to think I regard this stuff without seriousness at all...I have seen/felt/been through many things and do not take that lightly!

I just cannot shut up tonight...

I never had the benefit of deciding not to kill myself. For years, including now, I have carried with me the desire to die, and such a desire is as evil as murder and suicide itself. I never stopped wanting to die. I decided to kill myself on the inside out. Gradually I wore away my health, my sense of being life and potential for happiness. The world became a forbidden and foreign place to me, a planetary jail I was trapped on forever. It started with starving myself, then continued with intentionally trying to ruin my health, relationships, breaking apart all my friendships, reverse engineering my life in every way.

Anyone can make a lot of progress by just admitting they want to live. Nobody wants to die, but people are not content with the life they have. If they do not, they have themselves to blame for what happens to them. God will not lay a finger on them. They will destroy themselves from the inside out. On a spiritual plane you can do that quite literally.

I did some more reading and thought about it some more, and I think even though suicides report in their NDEs that they were surrounded by light I do not think they were in Heaven, in fact I think they were in Hell. Being surrounded by a bubble of light and love, they were given the chance to experience a few moments of love so that they could make an informed decision. Had they chosen to reject the meaning of the light, they may have been unceremoniously dumped into the darkness. All of the NDEs by virtue of the fact they all came back, were the ones who chose the meaning of the light, and were saved by their own choice to return. Also by virtue of the fact they had the experience in the first place, it indicates they, and possibly only they, were given a choice. Perhaps all the thousands of other suicides all went straight to Hell without any kind of experience of talking to God. Nobody knows what happens to all the suicides who do not come back to life to tell a story. Everything that happens to us, in life and after it, is a product of our own energy. If there is a 2% part of you that is loving and good, that part can give you that NDE that gives you a choice, but even though you are taken on a tour of light that does not mean you would remain in it for long.

It also has to do with the way and reason you commit suicide. If, being sane, sober, and wholly evil, you kill yourself so expertly there is no way your body could be resurrected, then you do go to Hell. If, being mentally sick and doped up on drugs, you kill yourself in a sloppy and inefficient way, such as a drug overdose, then there is a chance that would lead to a divine dispensation of resurrection, like a karmic loaner, that lets you return and makes it seem like there was no consequence of suicide. So I would say people who do not really want to die tend to kill themselves in a certain way. I do not think depression is that great an excuse. I was depressed but I still had some control. Being depressed is not a good excuse.

These people who had the positive NDEs were bunny rabbits comparing to me. They were never really that negative as people, they were mostly just a combination of foolish and unlucky, they were spiritual children blind to everything. They had to be given a choice because they simply had no idea of what they had done in the first place. When they met Jesus and God it only took them the equivalent of a couple of minutes to immediately regret what they did and able to completely rotate their lives around, which suggests there was not much wrong with them in the first place. It was like an assembly line conversion and baptism. Contrast that with myself, someone who practices negativity and darkness as a religion, no more than a religion, as a whole pursuit. My resistance to these experiences of light would result in my dumpage in Hell.

Mecury, some people already feel like this is Hell. What difference does it make? Some of your post only make me feel worst. Regardless of what you think you know, if the outcome makes someone feel bad then what's the point? You totally skip over the fact that people need to be heard. You may not speak of a christian hell. But all your ranting only sounds like the same preaching to me, and that you are trying to speak on God's behalf. A person like me that feels as though they are already suffering could care less about more suffering on the other side. No you can not just shake off a evil act. But love is unconditional, if it took years to forgive and heal. Only true love could stand the test of the time it would take. You know why they say there is no cure for depression? Because depression is the clinical term. We are really dealing with hate. And what cures hate? Love. Love for The Creator. Love for yourself and others.

Reading this thread has made me shiver.
There is no doubt in my mind that every person has had thoughts about hurting themselves and taking their life. I have. But its ok, we all do, we all have highs and lows.

I have had friends who have actually taken it to the next level and tried to take their own lives... and i wish there had been some signs, and i wish they had come to me.

Dont try to muffle the crys of people in need of being heard, dont ever ever asume that a this cry for help is an idle threat... please just dont asume, what if your wrong?

LibraCat9, i really think you should listen to what theFajita and Gooberzlostlovefound have said. And what theFajita said about medication, listen, because i know many many people who have chemical imbalances like yourself. One friend i know has bi-polar and form off manic depression... Shes had a hard life, her mother has depression and her father changed sexes, shes loves them both very much, but life is hard for her, but she is so much better because she has taken the appropriate actions to combat her illness.

So LibraCat9 please dont give up, im a libra too, and i know balancing those damn scales can be real tough, but if it wernt for those lows the highs wouldnt feel so damn good!!!

All my love to everyone in Lindaland!
