Theos-Talk Archives (August 2002 Message tt00101)

I personally have nothing to say, other than that these two articles may be helpful on the subject of suicide:

Suicide Is Not Death (WQJ):
http://www.blavatsky.net/theosophy/judge/articles/suicide-is-not-death.htm

Is Suicide A Crime (HPB):

You may find a great deal of the Truth that you are searching for here:

WisdomWorld.org web site (Main Page):
http://www.wisdomworld.org/

This is the Index page of the "Introductory", "Setting the Stage" book, which was especially compiled for newcomers to Theosophy:

The page where "Additional" articles are slowly being added:

PUBLIC & PRIVATE ENTERPRISE: This next link is to the most updated version of my economic-project proposal to humanity, a practical project to help our suffering humanity that I also consider to be Theosophical. In it you will find a new and unique, but mostly unknown, economic system model that might be able to put an end to involuntary poverty on earth. How? It presents a way to fully finance everything of importance that is needed in every nation. Because of this it's well worth pointing to. Please note that, for strategic reasons,
of wanting it to have the best chance of being accepted by all peoples worldwide, no matter what their religious, philosophical, and scientific beliefs are, I've put it on a completely different web site; it contains no mention of, or link to, the Theosophy and the Theosophical Movement that is presented on my WisdomWorld.org web site:

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).

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.

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.

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.
