from Jesus:
Thank you for bringing up
an important topic. Suicide is indeed a rising problem on this planet.
The main reason is that you are living at a time when the energies of
a new spiritual cycle are filtering through the consciousness of humankind.
As the higher vibrations of the new age come in, they will flush out
any unresolved substance in people’s energy fields, meaning their
subconscious minds. This will make the unresolved substance more visible,
and it is an opportunity for people to choose whom they will serve,
meaning that it actually becomes easier for people to rise above the
tendency of self-denial that is the underlying cause of all suicide.
It becomes easier for them to see the light of their Christ selves and
therefore choose to embrace that light rather than continue to deny
the light. Unfortunately, as inevitably happens when a new spiritual
cycle begins, some people choose to cling to the darkness and refuse
to let it go.
As one speaking from experience, I would like to tell you that the most
important message you can ever hear about suicide is that the souls
who commit suicide never achieve their goals. They never fulfill the
perceived purpose that caused them to commit suicide. I have indeed
had to counsel and help many souls after they had committed suicide,
and I can assure you that all of them realized that suicide did not
achieve the intended goal.
No matter what motivated them to commit suicide, they were no better
off after than before the suicide. In fact, their situation was worse
because by committing suicide they opened their souls even more to the
downward pull of dark forces. This makes it even more difficult for
the soul to start an ascending spiral and work its way back to the light.
If you want a very detailed description of what can happen to a soul
who commits suicide, I strongly recommend that you read the book, Beyond
the Darkness by Angie Fenimore.
What can be done to help a soul avoid falling into the trap of suicide?
It depends somewhat on why the soul enters the downward spiral that
culminates in suicide. Yet no matter what motivates the soul, one thing
that can help a soul is if it can be brought to understand that suicide
does not mean the cessation of consciousness. You can take away the
life of the body, but your soul is more than the body. Life truly means
that you have consciousness, that you have self-awareness. That sense
of self-awareness does not depend on the physical body, and it will
not disappear after the death of the body.
Most people who commit suicide do so because things have become so intense
that they feel the cessation of consciousness would be a relief. Yet
precisely because consciousness does not cease with the death of the
body, there is no relief, there is no rest from the problems that have
plagued the soul. The soul inevitably takes those problems, meaning
its state of consciousness, with it after the death of the body. It
will still have to face and conquer those problems before it will begin
to experience peace.
In fact, I must tell you that the common Christian belief that people
who commit suicide go to Hell is incorrect for most souls. Instead,
most souls who commit suicide end up coming back into embodiment at
the first suitable opportunity. They will often face the exact same
conditions that led to the suicide, because this is the only way the
soul can conquer the problems in its psychology that prevent it from
moving on. I can assure you that the return to the same type of situation
is often by the soul's own choice. Once
the soul is free of a body, it can normally look at its situation more
objectively, and most souls chose to embody in situations that give
the maximum opportunity for spiritual growth—even if those conditions
are very difficult from a human viewpoint.
The fact that souls who have committed suicide often choose to come
back into a similar situation is the best proof that suicide does not
achieve what people hope it will achieve. Therefore, if a soul could
somehow see beyond the pressure of its immediate situation, it it highly
unlikely that the soul would commit suicide. If the soul could have
a moment of objectivity, it would choose to take responsibility for
its situation and work on changing its state of consciousness. It would
choose to tackle the problem now instead of having to go through the
emotional trauma of suicide only to have to face the same situation
in a future lifetime.
Let me briefly review some of the most common reasons souls commit suicide:
- Rebellion.
Life is a gift from God, so taking away life is the ultimate rebellion
against God. Some souls commit suicide because they have become so
angry with God that they reject the gift of life. As I explained in
another discourse,
these souls can be very difficult to reach. Some of these souls literally
have to go through the process of suicide in order to experience firsthand
that they cannot escape their rebellious state of consciousness by
killing the body. In some cases this can actually make a soul realize
that the only way to escape that state of consciousness is to take
responsibility for its own situation (the rebellion against God is
the extreme state of the denial of personal accountability) and change
its frame of mind.
- Revenge.
A variant of the anger and rebellion is that a soul commits suicide
out of a desire for revenge. Ultimately, in the deepest recesses of
the psychology, this is an attempt to seek revenge over God, but it
is often perceived by the soul as desire for revenge against parents
or society. Such a soul could be helped by the realization that suicide
hurts itself more than anyone else and that it does not affect God.
Yet it can be difficult to give an angry soul this understanding.
- A desire for
escape. Some souls are in a situation that is literally so
intense that they cannot handle it emotionally or mentally. They feel
stuck and cannot see any way to change the situation for the better.
Therefore, the energies of the situation can eventually become so
intense that the soul cannot handle it and seeks escape through suicide.
Such souls could be helped if they could be made see that they will
not escape their state of consciousness by killing the body. It would
also be helpful if they could be made to see that there is always
a way to improve your situation, no matter how difficult it might
seem. Obviously, once the soul has been engulfed by the downward spiral
of suicide, it can be difficult to make the soul see these facts.
- A call for help.
Many souls have become so burdened by various conditions in their
lives that they know they cannot handle it on their own. Some people
are unable to ask for help, whereas other people feel they have no
one to ask for help. These people feel alone, they feel unloved and
they feel like no one cares whether they live or not. Therefore, they
are unable to ask for help in conventional ways, and they eventually
end up being so burdened that the attempt suicide. These souls do
not really want to commit suicide, their attempt, which is often unsuccessful,
is a subconscious cry for help. Incidentally, these souls are the
easiest souls to help because they can be turned around when they
realize that someone cares.
The difficult thing about
suicide is that it is not a sudden occurrence. It is always the result
of a very slow process that often takes place so gradually that the
soul does not realize that it enters a downward spiral. It does not
realize that it has passed the point of no return that leads it to a
confrontation with the specter of suicide. That is why it is very difficult
for a soul to reverse the process on its own. The soul simply does not
see that it has stepped on to a downward slide. If the soul receives
no help from outside itself, it will often have to go all the way to
the point where it is actually ready to commit suicide. When facing
the abyss, some souls are finally awakened to the danger and the reality
of suicide, and they are able to turn themselves around and start an
upward climb.
The best possible way to help someone else is to observe what is going
on with the soul. Obviously, the earlier this observation takes place,
the better the chance that the downward spiral can be reversed. There
are several main elements that can help you help someone else escape
the downward pull of suicide:
- The first element is to
recognize that the downward spiral of suicide is fueled by the accumulation
of toxic energy in the person’s energy field. As explained elsewhere,
toxic energy will accumulate in your energy field, and it will gradually
form a vortex that can overpower a person's conscious thoughts and
feelings. Such a vortex can also open a connection between a person's
energy field and the energy field of the planet. This planetary energy
field has a number of vortexes of negative energy that have been generated
by humankind over thousands of years. One such vortex is a vortex
of suicide energy, and at the bottom of that vortex is a demon, or
entity, named Annihla. This dark being gets its energy from sucking
people into the spiral of suicide, so it can steal whatever light
energy they have in their energy fields.
Once you realize the existence of such dark energies, you can engage
in a prayer vigil to set the soul free from this downward spiral of
suicide energy. However, let me issue a very direct warning. Unless
you have a strong momentum of invoking spiritual protection from Above,
it can be dangerous for you to engage the planetary momentum of suicide.
This force is very strong and very vicious, and if you attempt to
rescue a person from its claws, it is likely that it will come after
you. Therefore, I recommend that only people who are very balanced,
and who have never had suicidal tendencies, engage in such a process.
And I highly recommend that people join together in a group effort
instead of one person having to take on this force alone. My calls
to Archangel
Michael are extremely important in this matter, and if you want
to take on the force of suicide, I recommend that you give at least
40 - and I mean forty - of these calls a day for your personal protection
and for cutting free the other person. I also recommend the call for
the judgment, and you should
call for Annihla and all other demons of suicide attacking the person
to be judged and bound by Archangel Michael. It would be highly beneficial
to direct a concentrated stream of Violet
Flame into the energy field of the person that you are trying
to help. Likewise, Mother
Mary’s rosaries are very efficient, especially the Forgiveness
and East-West rosaries.
- The second element is
to awaken the person to the danger of suicide and the fact that suicide
is not a solution because it does not lead to a relief from the soul’s
problems. In a sense one might say that this is the most important
requirement, but I am describing it second because as long as a person
is overwhelmed by the negative energy, it would be virtually impossible
to awaken that person. In other words, you must first seek to relieve
the pressure of the negative energy before you have a chance of awakening
the person. The best way to awaken a person is by giving them the
book I mentioned earlier and giving them some of the teachings on
this website, especially the teaching that suicide is not the cessation
of consciousness and that anyone contemplating suicide is under attack
by dark forces.
- The third element is
to make sure that the person does not feel alone and does not feel
unloved. Many of the people who commit suicide in a desire for escape
feel as if no one loves them and nobody cares whether they are alive
or not. One of the best ways to help such a person is to be a good
listener and simply allow the person to talk without trying to fix
them or fix their problems. Let them talk and let them feel that you
are listening and that you care. Let them talk through their problems
without trying to give them solutions. Allow them to talk until they
eventually begin to see the solution on their own.
- The fourth element is
to show people that there really is a way to improve the situation.
This can be done making them aware of the spiritual path that I describe
throughout this website. Obviously, this can best be done by a person
who is already walking the path and who can speak from personal experience.
I highly commend the people
who have seen the seriousness of this problem and have attempted to
set up various hotlines and support groups to help people overcome the
downward pull of suicide. If you can find such a service near you, I
highly recommend that you take advantage of it personally or seek to
make anyone contemplating suicide take advantage of such a service.
Being in a group situation can have a major positive effect on anyone
contemplating suicide, especially if they can talk to a person who contemplated
suicide and decided to pull back from the abyss. No one is better at
helping a suicidal person than someone who has been there and came back
from the brink
While such organized efforts deserve praise, I feel the need to issue
of word of caution. Please do not fall into the trap of thinking that
the way to help a person who is suicidal is to convert them to your
personal religion. Unfortunately, I see some very loving and well-meaning
Christians who seek to save those who are burdened by suicide by converting
them to their particular church. What you really need to do is to be
sensitive to the individual soul and help the soul find the universal
spiritual path that transcends all religions. This path cannot be confined
to a particular religion, not even the Christian religion.
Finally, let me say that these words should not be used as a substitute
for seeking professional help. There are capable professionals who are
trained to help suicidal souls, and if they are available, you should
seek their help, whether for yourself or someone else. I also recommend
that you study my remarks on how to overcome a lifelong
addiction, because they have bearing on how to reverse the downward
spiral that can lead to suicide.
