According to statistics, Russia ranks second among all countries in the world in the number of suicides. Our state leads in the number of suicides among adolescents and the elderly.
All these people hoped in this way to relieve themselves of suffering, in one action putting an end to them. Death, from their point of view, was the cessation of intelligent life and the extinction of consciousness. But is there nothingness in reality? Where does the soul of a suicide go after death?
In different cultures
In Orthodoxy, suicide is considered the worst sin. It is forbidden to funeral for those who died voluntarily, to pray for them at the liturgies. They seem to be deleted from the lists of people who have ever existed. This act is condemned in all three world religions: Islam, Judaism and Christianity. Often people who have laid hands on themselves are buried separately from everyone.
However, not all cultures were so categorical. So, in some eastern cultures, in Rome, this action was an important ritual in society.
For Japanese samurai, hara-kiri was considered a matter of honor, which avoided captivity and atone for their own misconduct. There are cases when permission to commit such a ritual suicide was considered a pardon of the emperor.
In India, the elderly, in order not to be a heavy burden for their family because of their own illnesses and weaknesses, burned themselves. There was a sati rite when the wives jumped into the bonfire at the funeral of their husbands, burning it alive.
The ancient Celts considered shameful life in old age and weakness. They had separate “cliffs of their ancestors”, from where they passed away voluntarily, while still having remnants of strength.
History knows many acts of self-sacrifice in honor of the gods. Usually they were preceded by many years of preparation, the study of ideology, so that a person understands why and what he is doing. And it was also encouraged in society.
Among the proud and ardent Roman aristocrats, suicide was considered an act of strong will. Sometimes the best friend of the deceased committed suicide in order to share with him the hardships of a posthumous life. This act was positively adopted, committed with the aim of not being captured.
Therefore, there is no unanimity in this matter. But at the moment, when three world religions dominate, suicides are considered a sinful act.
Our ancestors
The Slavic people left their descendants a lot of information about what happens to the soul of a suicide after leaving the next world. This is described in detail in his myths. The ancient Slavs believed that the soul of a suicide after death becomes a ghost and roams the earth for centuries. Usually she is at the place where she committed a sin, making a cry and whistle, luring passersby with evil intentions. For this reason, our ancestors have cut down trees for centuries, swept traces where the soul of a suicide bomber found itself. And they buried them in a special way, away from everyone.
The soul of a suicide man was considered unclean. The ancient people believed that because of his death on the same day the weather changed, the winds suddenly rose, hail went. Along the full moons, the soul of a suicide appeared in cemeteries, anomalous zones, causing animal horror in everyone they met.
The body of the deceased in this way was subjected to a special ritual. Nails were driven into his mouth, and a stake in his heart, he was mutilated, sprinkled with sacred herbs. All this was done so that the soul of the suicide after death could not return to the body and the dead man did not rise from the grave. Thus, he would not be able to do harm, turning into a vampire. It was believed that the soul of a suicide lived in terrible torment, which lasted for centuries.
Psychological research
After talking with people who were saved from suicide, or their attempt was unsuccessful, psychologists say that 99% of people in the last minutes of their lives realize that they have done a stupid act and do not want death (for example, those who hang themselves start look for a chair). But due to some reason, they are no longer able to prevent the inevitable. The torment that they are experiencing in these minutes can not be compared with anything. The sea of ​​energy, adrenaline is thrown out. All moments of life fly before your eyes, they do not just see, they feel the memories of the first experience of a kiss, sex, gift, fall, leg fracture, everything that evoked emotions in them. It holds the soul. She does not leave the place in which a person died in this way. There is a theory that due to the excessive amount of emotions that arose at this moment, adrenaline and energy emissions, it remains in the place where it happened.
In other words, this is how the creation of the “anchor” takes place, which holds the soul. Since she came out of the physical shell, and the person changed his mind in the last minutes, because of this synthesis of energy, the circle closes. He outlines this "hell on earth", where the soul of a suicide falls. Here she daily experiences her terrible death again and again. This happens with most suicides. Where the souls of suicides who remain faithful to their decision to the end are unknown is unknown. Only gods can know about this.
Why is suicide condemned?
It is believed that in the other world, into which we all one day will fall, there will be no oblivion, which is hoped by a person committing suicide.
There the life of the mind continues in accordance with the karma of life on earth, the consequences of actions on it. A person burdened with mental burden will continue to suffer due to unresolved difficulties. She will only feel more acutely the pain of her position. However, she will no longer have a chance for correction; he will remain in earthly life. The soul of a suicide will only experience a painful emotional reaction to the pictures that appear before her, full of dramatic events of his life. So say the lines from the Gospel: "Whatever is untied on Earth, it will be untied in heaven."
Something can be corrected only in its physical embodiment. If a person leaves this world of his own free will, unresolved situations will pursue him with a vengeance, memories-hallucinations will not give rest, being experienced like real events.
Suicide violates the most important karmic law - on the purpose of human life and its timing. The fact is that everyone comes to this world with a certain mission, which relates to personal growth. If a person’s spirit has talents, it’s great, it will affect many people around. Even before the start of his life in the physical shell, the soul understands what its task is. Entering the body, due to physical matters, knowledge is obscured, destiny is forgotten.
To fulfill a personal task, certain periods of life on earth, a certain amount of energy necessary for this, are always given.
If someone passes away before these deadlines, the mission remains unfulfilled.
The energy released for this task is not realized, which begins to draw the soul of a suicide to the physical world for many years to come.
Research scientists
The study of what happens to the soul of a suicide was actively engaged by a scientist from St. Petersburg K. Korotkov. He studied this phenomenon using Kirlian effects, which made it possible to see a person’s energy immediately after death and for several days after.
According to his findings, the post-mortem state of those who died naturally was very different from the energy of suicides. For example, he established three different types of luminescence of the bodies of people who died for various reasons. It was fixed using the Kirlian method.
Those who died naturally, the glow had a small amplitude of energy fluctuations. In the first few hours after passing away, she gradually fell.
In the second type of glow, which was formed during a sudden death as a result of accidents, the fluctuations were not large either, but there was one bright peak.
The third species was observed in those who died as a result of circumstances that could have been prevented. There, the glow was characterized by very large energy vibrations, which lasted a very long time. The same thing happened during the death, which was provoked.
According to the scientist, these fluctuations reflected the state of the astral body, which lost its physical embodiment as a result of violence, after which it did not have a chance to naturally exist in another world. That is, the soul of the suicide goes into another world and continues to rush between the body and the astral plane, trying to find a way out.
Hellish voices
There is another terrible moment that relates to the astral world. A lot of people who tried to commit suicide and were saved by specialists said that they were informed about the decision to die by some voices in which they supposedly recognized their dead relatives.
This phenomenon acts as an indirect and sometimes direct cause of suicide extremely often.
These mysterious voices that sit in the human mind have nothing to do with people who have passed away.
This is a certain class of creatures, called the elementals by the greatest medieval physician Paracelsus. They are positive and negative. The latter strive to capture the vital energy of people, preferring theft to self-development. When a person dies, he releases a large amount of energy, which serves as food for these astral vampires. Therefore, elementals cling to people in protracted depressions and process them, bringing to life accounts.
Such terrible connections are often found by psychics in the auras of other people. They call them “bindings” or “connections”. Sometimes potential suicides are processed on more subtle, subconscious levels. Then they are not voices, but extremely depressing thoughts with self-destruction programs. These imposed thoughts over time, under the pressure of numerous attacks, are accepted by people for their desire.
Captivity
It is believed that with the death of a person, his spirit begins to go through ordeal within 40 days. This is a difficult test for him, and this time is considered tragic. He does not understand that he will wait for him further.
First, he spent six days in paradise, staying there with the righteous and blessed people, then for the rest of his life he goes to hell, where he is responsible for his sins. But during this period he can repent of them and receive forgiveness.
The soul of a suicide after 40 days does not receive such a chance. Due to unspent energy, it remains in the lower layers of the other world. Even being a righteous person does not shun the fate of going to hell.
If he was allotted 70 years, and he lived only 25, then for the remaining 45 years he will be in the lower astral layers, where the soul immediately falls after the death of a suicide. She rushes about for a long time in agonizing expectation.
Since ancient times, suicides have been considered ghosts. Voluntary departure from life is unacceptable in the opinion of clairvoyants. Many of them instantly understand from photographs whether a person was alive or not. However, they say about those who have laid hands on themselves that they are not in the world of the living as well as in the world of the dead. Saved people who survived a clinical death as a result of settling their life accounts also spoke about what happens to the soul of a suicide after death. Usually this moment is very strongly imprinted on the psyche.
Even a fleeting glance at another world, revealed to man in those moments, gives a lot of information about where the soul of suicides goes. The world famous posthumous research conducted by Dr. Raymond Moody together with other scientists.
One of his patients, who was miraculously saved after an attempted suicide and survived, leaving a coma, told the following. Once there, he clearly felt that two actions were subject to prohibition: to kill himself and others. The woman who was pumped out after taking a lethal dose of sleeping pills said she felt that she had done something wrong according to the highest commandment. She was sure of it and in desperation tried to return to her body in order to survive.
This panic was fundamentally different from that felt by those who died naturally, but managed to get out (for example, due to illness). They described complacency and the feeling that everything was as it should be.
Edwin Schneidman on the soul of a suicide
This is one of the most famous researchers of everything related to suicide. Schneidman’s book, The Suicide Soul, is popular around the world. In it, he makes an attempt to realize what drives those who decided to lay hands on themselves. He identified 10 characteristics that all suicides possess in 95% of cases. So, one of the main features is mental pain. These people experience constant suffering, unrest. It is she who serves as the driving force in making the last decision in life. Pain is the source of thoughts of suicide. This action is a unique human reaction to mental torment.
This is difficult to investigate, since no analysis of brain cells with various instruments can help to form an opinion on what is really happening in the soul.
Schneidman notes that even those who suffer greatly when they have a fatal illness do not commit suicide because of physical, but mental torment, caused by extreme anxiety. They are intangible, not measurable. However, one thing is clear: they are unbearable. Thoughts about laying hands on oneself arise at a time when pain becomes impossible to endure, and people tend to die in order to stop this awareness of pain.
A serious tragedy taking place deep inside results in the laying on of hands. It is interesting that quite often people who were in the middle class in terms of material wealth, were an ordinary consumer and a worthy member of society. Only a small percentage of them are insane.
This study once again refutes the view that most often a person voluntarily passes away due to poverty, lack of material values. Most suicides among those in their prime, the most cheerful representatives of the human race.
With regard to childhood deaths, 70% of suicidal children came from well-off families.
How to help the soul of a man who committed suicide
Can the soul of a suicide be of help? Seraphim of Sarov described a case from his practice. Once, a family turned to him, in which one of the members laid hands on himself, drowning in the river. Relatives who experienced terrible torment could not mention him in prayers.
But suddenly the holy elder answered them that their father was not a suicide. Sarovsky received a vision from God that at the moment when their loved one fell down, he turned to God and received forgiveness. Prayers in churches for those who have passed away are voluntarily forbidden, but those who wish to help them can mention them in private prayers performed at home. They can save those who have sinned so much.
Elder Joseph Hesychast urged to pray on the rosary. He spoke of a woman friend who had died while committing suicide. He began to pray for her with a rosary, and one night she came to him in her dreams and thanked him for it. She said that a wonderful moment had come for her, and thanks to his efforts, she goes to where she will live forever. She was saved from eternal suffering through his prayers, although she lived unrighteously.
Contact
It is believed that spirits from other worlds can be contacted. In particular, you can talk with the soul of a suicide. It is worth doing with the help of images. It will not be possible to address it with a word, a question, but you can broadcast them through imaginative thinking. Then she will respond to the call and will also send a response in the form of an image that will appear in a dream.
To transmit the message to the deceased, it must be encrypted, and to receive - decrypted. You should not use dream books, interpreters of dreams, in this case they will not help, since they decipher the symbols, and images will need to be interpreted. They are individually compiled.
First you need to have an idea about imaginative thinking, about how it works in humans. If it is absent, which is extremely rare, then a person will not be able to send messages to another world. In any case, he will see the answer in a dream, but he will not be able to interpret it correctly.
It’s best to understand how imaginative thinking works in this example.
One interlocutor agrees with another to cross near a familiar store for both, next to which is a bus stop. A person with dominant logical thinking will begin to ask which side should go to the store where the bus stops. And one who has developed imaginative thinking will draw this picture in his head and easily find this place on his own, without asking more questions.
Suitable for illustration is such an example. It is enough to tell someone from the household that the book is on the table. If he does not have imaginative thinking, he will ask where exactly it lies - on its right side or left. This will be very important for him, since he relies on logic, he needs to understand exactly where the subject is located. This happens in all areas of life. Anyone who is able to work with images, the first time will understand that you need to look for a book on the table. It is extremely difficult for logicians to induce figurative thinking. Before you talk to the soul of a suicide at home, you need to consider this in order to create image codes for such people correctly.
The encrypted question is transmitted to the soul through mental communication. The answer from the place where the soul of the suicide has gone will come in night dreams and can be decrypted using the code of images. He is always individual.
To choose the right code and ask questions to someone in a different world, you need to contact only a loved one. You need to have knowledge of his character, manner of thinking, physical appearance.
If you plan to communicate with someone from the great souls, then you need to stock up on knowledge of his habits, biography, tune in to his wave by viewing his photos or portraits.
You need to completely concentrate on this person, otherwise the message will get to someone else, and the answer will seem incomprehensible. 100 billion people have already lived on Earth, and there is such a possibility.
To send a message to the other world, you must first prepare. It is important to bring your body to a suitable state. First of all, you need to give up smoking, alcohol, drugs for a day, otherwise the information will be distorted. Also, do not do this, experiencing any pain.
To get the right message during sleep, you need to adjust your behavior throughout the day. For a day you need to abandon the TV, cinema, loud music, abuse, communication with the opposite sex. The most optimal solution is to refuse a heavy dinner, tea and coffee. All this affects the quality of the transmission of messages. It is better to relax before bedtime, taking a walk on the street. Any event that affects the emotional background during the day will certainly leave its mark on dreams, and the data will be distorted.
If a person does not remember his own dreams, cannot retell them, then it hardly makes sense to communicate with another world. It’s best to choose sincere people for this.
Conclusion
Attitudes towards suicide are different throughout the world. But most often it is believed that the soul of a suicide suffers intolerable suffering in the afterlife. This is because life is too amazing to trigger a chain reaction of suicides into the world, which is always caused by one who has laid hands on himself.
