Life's meaning...
In my ideation of suicide and death, I've also wondered what's beyond this life. I believe in reincarnation; I believe this world is a school and we are all here to learn and teach from others to others respectively...We are all truly immortal (our souls) and it is only the physical body that dies. In an effort to get in touch with my spiritual self, I've been reading books (by Dr. Brian Weiss & others) and researching pass lives/regression on the internet and it just makes sense that when we pass on, the lights just don't go out and there's a dead silence for eternity - no, our souls pass on and we enter a new realm of some sort. I believe this world is a classroom and there are different souls in different 'grades'; some souls are more advanced than others. At the conclusion of our lives, there is some sort of a review and it is then determined if we've passed or if we need to return to complete our 'assignment'. If we have completed and passed to the next level we may return to this 'school' to continue learning at the next level or grade - like passing from 8th to 9th grade.
Suicide can be seen as cutting class or dropping out. We would have to learn these painful lessons again, perhaps in another setting. I've wondered if we would simply repeat this life again with the opportunity of making different decisions thereby altering what we are now experiencing. Completing suicide would be like hitting the 'reset button'; you'd be starting over at the begining; at the same level or grade. You don't advance; your lessons would have to be relearned. Therefore, I don't believe suicide is a permanent fix to a temporary problem; I believe it's quite the opposite in the spiritual world - it is a temporary fix to an obastacle that will be permanent until that soul overcomes whatever their fear is that their lives present them (a continuously temporary fix to a permanet problem)...
Realizing this I don't know if it alleviates my own fears, pain, frustration I am currently experiencing in this life. I feel my soul just is not at the same level as others - I'm at the kindergarden level while others around me are in high school...Others have this sense of purpose, energy, drive to live their lives fully while I'm stuck in this rut, trying to find my way, my purpose/meaning, trying to make sense of this existence, etc. It frustrates me that I'm spending so much time searching for answers that I probably may never get, why can't I just 'live' like everyone else - why must I have reasons for everything and get immensely frustrated at non-answers?
