Theos-Talk Archives (August 2002 Message tt00100)

12 august 2002 - Arlington VA

My name is Ruben, firts time I present some comment on the Theo-talk.

Today, I would like to expose some comments on the subject of suicide.

I have read some of the article of the theosphical society and Miss Blavatsky.

But I'm still not convinced about the wise position to adopt about Suicide.In almost all the comment on the matter, I understand that to commit suicide is a sin, and the person who kill himself would have to assume the responsabilities of his own death in the next life with more difficulties (If I'm wrong, please tell me). 

Well, as my opinion, there is something incorrect about these judgments. Itseems that we forget one quality important: The compassion for sick souls.

I dont think there is any punishment at all. The only punishment will come frome the oun soul. People with Schizophrenia for example are living in a vicious mind in which they are turning around and around and around without find any solution. Horrible disturbance of the mind in wich a soul is completely lost. Someone with these kind of illness will never see the light, life after life, if he has to assume his suicide.

I've heard of a story that people like the Esquimo (who live in the Groenland Island) accept the notion of suicide in the case that a person is unsatisfied of his life and decide to leave the material world. What about The japanese samurai who prartice HaraKiri. And I'm pretty sure that many cases of suicide, and suicide collectif can be shown in nature.

The notion of sin still come from our western culture. People who has deep depresion, we used to say that he is passing a hard time but if he past through he will feel much better with a superior understanding of the meaning of life. The fact is there is thousands of people who don't pass through and find the experience so unbearable that death is the only acceptable solution. I think Suicide is part of the process of knowledge. It can probably called a mistake but our path for a spiritual evolution always happens because of mistake.

Well, I hope I will receive some answer about these subject. Please to excuse my errors of writting english, it's not my native language. Thanks.

RUBEN
