According to statistics, Russia ranks second among all countries in the world in terms of 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 save themselves from suffering, putting an end to it in one action. Death, from their point of view, was the cessation of intelligent life and the extinction of consciousness. But does non-existence really exist? Where does the soul of a suicide go after death?
Across cultures
In Orthodoxy, suicide is considered the worst sin. It is forbidden to bury those who died voluntarily, to pray for them at liturgies. They seem to be crossed out from the lists of people who have ever existed. This act is condemned in all three world religions: Islam, Judaism and Christianity. People who kill themselves are often buried separately from everyone else.
However, not allcultures 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 allowed them to avoid captivity and atone for their own misdeeds. There are cases when the permission to commit such a ritual suicide was considered a pardon from the emperor.
In India, the elderly, in order not to be a heavy burden on their families due to their own illnesses and weaknesses, burned themselves. There was a rite of sati, when wives jumped into the fire at the funeral of their husbands, burning alive in it.
The ancient Celts considered it shameful to live in old age and weakness. They had separate "ancestral rocks", from where they passed away voluntarily, still having the 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 going for. 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 the afterlife. This act, committed in order not to be taken prisoner, was positively accepted.
Therefore, there is no unanimity on this issue. But today, when three world religions dominate, suicides are considered a sinful act.
Our ancestors
The Slavic people left to their descendants a lot of information about what happens to the soul of a suicide afterleaving for that world. This is detailed in his myths. The ancient Slavs believed that the soul of a suicide after death becomes a ghost and wanders the earth for centuries. Usually she is at the place where she committed a sin, uttering crying and whistling, luring the lost passers-by with evil intentions. For this reason, our ancestors cut down trees for centuries, covering their tracks where the soul of a suicide found refuge. And they were buried in a special way, away from everyone.
The soul of a suicidal man was considered an evil spirit. The ancient people believed that because of his death, the weather changed on the same day, the winds suddenly rose, hail was falling. On full moons, the soul of a suicide appeared in cemeteries, anomalous zones, causing animal horror in everyone he met.
The body of the deceased in this way was subjected to a special ritual. Nails were driven into the mouth, and a stake into the heart, it was mutilated, sprinkled with sacred herbs. All this was done so that the soul of a suicide after death could not return to the body and the dead man did not rise from the grave. That way he wouldn't be able to do any harm by turning into a vampire. It was believed that the soul of a suicide lived in terrible torment that lasted for centuries.
Psychological Research
After communicating 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 committed a stupid act and do not want to die (for example, those those who hang themselves begin to look for a chair with their feet). But for some reason they are no longer able to preventinevitable. The torment they are experiencing in these moments cannot be compared with anything. The sea of energy, adrenaline is thrown out. All the moments of life fly before their eyes, they do not just see, they feel memories of the first experience of a kiss, sex, a gift, a fall, a broken leg, everything that aroused emotions in them. It holds the soul. She does not leave the place where the person died in this way. There is a theory that due to the excessive amount of emotions that arose at that moment, the release of adrenaline and energy, she remains in the place where it happened.
In other words, this is how the “anchor” is created that holds the soul. Since she left the physical shell, and the person changed his mind in the last minutes, because of this synthesis of energy, the circle closes. They outline this "hell on earth", where the soul of a suicide falls. Here she relives her horrific death over and over again every day. This is what happens to most people who commit suicide. Where the souls of suicides go, who remained faithful to their decision to the end, is unknown. Only gods can know about this.
Why is suicide condemned?
It is believed that in the other world, in which we all one day fall, there will be no oblivion, which a person who commits suicide hopes for.
The life of the mind continues there in accordance with the karma of life on earth, the consequences of actions on it. A person weighed down with a mental load will continue to suffer because of unresolved difficulties. She will only feel the pain of her position more acutely. Howevershe 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 the dramatic events of his life. This is what the lines from the Gospel say: “What you untie on Earth will be untied in heaven.”
You can fix anything only in your physical incarnation. If a person leaves this world of his own free will, unresolved situations will haunt him with a vengeance, hallucinatory memories will haunt him, being experienced like real events.
Suicide violates the most important karmic law - the purpose of human life and its timing. The fact is that everyone comes into this world with a certain mission, which concerns personal growth. If the spirit of a person has talents, is great, it will touch many others. Even before the beginning of its life in the physical shell, the soul understands what its task is. Entering the body, due to physical matters, this knowledge is obscured, the destination is forgotten.
The fulfillment of a personal task is always given certain periods of life on earth, a certain amount of energy necessary for this.
If someone passes away before these dates, the destiny remains unfulfilled.
The energy allocated for this task is not realized, which begins to pull the suicide's soul to the physical world for many more years.
Research scientists
The study of what happens to the soul of a suicide was actively studied by a scientist from St. Petersburg K. Korotkov. He studied this phenomenon using Kirlian effects, which made it possible to see the energy of a person 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 glow of the bodies of those who died for various reasons. It was fixed using the Kirlian method.
For 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 also not large, but there was one bright peak.
The third species was observed in those who died as a result of a preventable circumstance. There, the glow was characterized by very large energy fluctuations that lasted a very long time. The same thing happened at the death that was provoked.
According to the scientist, these fluctuations reflected the state of the astral body, which lost its physical incarnation as a result of violence, after which it had no chance to naturally exist in another world. That is, the soul of a suicide goes to another world and continues to rush between the body and the astral plane, trying to find a way out.
Hellish voices
There is another creepy thing about the astral world. Many people who tried to commit suicide and were saved by specialists stated that the decision to diereported some voices in which they supposedly recognized their dead relatives.
This phenomenon acts as an indirect and sometimes direct cause of suicide very 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 beings called elementals by the greatest medieval physician Paracelsus. They are positive and negative. The latter seek to capture the vital energy of people, preferring theft to self-production. When a person dies, he releases a large amount of energy, which serves as food for these astral vampires. Therefore, elementals cling to people who are in protracted depressions and process them, leading them to settle accounts with life.
Such creepy connections are often found by psychics in other people's auras. They call them "bindings" or "plugs". Sometimes potential suicides are processed on more subtle, subconscious levels. Then they are not voices, but extremely depressive thoughts with programs of self-destruction. These imposed thoughts over time, under the pressure of numerous attacks, are taken by people for their desire.
Captivity
It is believed that with the death of a person, his spirit begins to go through ordeals for 40 days. This is a difficult test for him, and this time is considered tragic. He does not understand what will happen next.
At first he spent six days in paradise, staying there with the righteous and blessedpeople, then for the rest of the time 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 get such a chance. Due to unspent energy, she remains in the lower layers of the other world. Even being a righteous person, a person does not escape the fate of falling into 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 there for a long time in painful anticipation.
Since ancient times, suicides were considered ghosts. Voluntary departure from life is also unacceptable in the opinion of clairvoyants. Many of them instantly understand from photographs whether a person is still alive or not. However, about those who lay hands on themselves, they say that they are not both in the world of the living and in the world of the dead. Saved people who survived clinical death as a result of settling accounts with life also told 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 the other world, revealed to man in those moments, gives a lot of information about where the soul of suicides goes. The studies of the posthumous world, which were conducted by Dr. Raymond Moody together with other scientists, are known all over the world.
One of his patients, who was miraculously saved from a suicide attempt and survived from a coma, recounted the following. Once there, he clearly felt that two actions were forbidden: to kill himself and others. Woman,who was drained after taking a lethal dose of sleeping pills, said that she felt that she had done something wrong according to the highest commandment. She was sure of it and desperately 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 calmness and a feeling that everything was as it should be.
Edwin Shneidman on the soul of a suicide
This is one of the most famous researchers in all things suicide. Shneidman's book "The Soul of a Suicide" is popular all over the world. In it, he makes an attempt to realize what drives those who decide to lay hands on themselves. He singled out 10 characteristics that all suicides have 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 suicidal thoughts. This action is a unique human reaction to mental anguish.
This is difficult to investigate, since no amount of analysis of brain cells with all sorts of devices will help form an opinion about what is really happening in the soul.
Schneidman notes that even those who suffer greatly when they are diagnosed with a fatal disease commit suicide not because of physical, but mental anguish caused by extreme anxiety. They are intangible and cannot be measured. However, one thing is clear: they are unbearable. Thoughts of laying hands on oneself originate inthe moment when the pain becomes unbearable and people want to die to stop this awareness of pain.
A serious tragedy happening deep inside results in the laying on of hands. It is interesting that often those who were in the middle class in terms of material we alth, were an ordinary consumer, a worthy member of society, often sum up their lives in this way. Only a small percentage of them are added by the insane.
This study once again refutes the opinion that most often a person voluntarily leaves this life because of poverty, lack of material values. Most suicides are among those in the prime of life, the most cheerful representatives of the human race.
In terms of child deaths, 70% of child suicides came from well-to-do families.
How to help the soul of a person who committed suicide
Can the soul of a suicide be helped? Seraphim of Sarov described a case from his practice. Once he was approached by a family in which one of the members committed suicide by drowning himself 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 was falling down, he turned to God and received forgiveness. Prayers in churches for the departed are voluntarily prohibited, but those who wish to help them can mention them in private prayers performed at home. They can save those who have sinned in this way.
Elder Joseph the Hesychast called to pray with the rosary. He spoke about a woman he knew who had died by suicide. He began to pray for her with the rosary, and one night she came to him in dreams and thanked him for it. She said that a wonderful moment had come for her, and thanks to his efforts, she was going to where she would live forever. She was saved from eternal suffering thanks to 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. Do it with the help of images. It will not be possible to address it with a word, a question, but you can broadcast them through figurative thinking. Then she will respond to the call and also send an answer in the form of an image that will appear in a dream.
To transmit a message to the deceased, it must be encrypted, and to receive it, it must be decrypted. You should not use dream books, interpreters of dreams, in this case they will not help in any way, since they decipher the symbols, and you will need to interpret the images. They are compiled individually.
First you need to have an idea about imaginative thinking, about how it works in a person. 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 correctly interpret it.
The best way to understand how imaginative thinking works is with this example.
One interlocutoragrees with another to cross near a store familiar to both, next to which there is a bus stop. A person with dominant logical thinking will begin to ask which side to approach the store where the bus will stop. And the one who has developed imaginative thinking will draw this picture in his head and easily find this place on his own, without asking any more questions.
Suitable for illustration and 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, because he relies on logic, he needs to understand exactly where the object is. This happens in all areas of life. Anyone who is able to work with images will understand the first time that you need to look for a book on the table. Logicians are extremely difficult to induce to think figuratively. Before talking with the soul of a suicide at home, you need to take this into account in order to create image codes for such people correctly.
An encrypted question is transmitted to the soul with the help of a mental connection. The answer from the place where the soul of the suicide went will come in night dreams and can be deciphered using the code of images. It is always individual.
To choose the right code and ask questions to someone in another world, you need to contact only a loved one. You need to have knowledge about his character, way of thinking, physical appearance.
If a connection is planned with one of the great souls, then you need to stock up on knowledge about hishabits, biographies, tune in to his wave by viewing his photos or portraits.
You need to fully concentrate on this person, otherwise the message will get to someone else, and the answer will seem incomprehensible. 100 billion people already lived on Earth, and there is such a possibility.
To send a message to the other world, you need to prepare first. It is important to bring your body into the right state. First of all, you need to give up smoking, alcohol, drugs for a day, otherwise the information will be distorted. Also, don't do it when you're in pain.
To get the right message while you sleep, you need to adjust your behavior throughout the day. For a day, you need to give up TV, movies, loud music, swearing, communication with the opposite sex. The most optimal solution would be the rejection of a heavy dinner, tea and coffee. All this is reflected in the quality of the transmission of messages. It is better to relax before going to bed by taking a walk outside. Any event that affects the emotional background during the day will definitely leave an imprint 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 contact another world. It is best to choose sincere people for this.
Conclusion
Attitudes towards suicide are different around the world. But most often it is believed that the soul of a suicide experiences unbearable suffering in the afterlife. This is because life is too amazing to start a chain reaction of suicides into the world, which alwayscalls the one who laid hands on himself.
