Good article but I m not sure I agree with all of it….

Seems like karma and at the same time like the law of universe in “The Secret”…

Good advice, thanks!

There is nothing to worry though. In my own experience having many out of body experiences, I know that it is only the body that dies, but the soul never dies. It passes on to the next realm which is more suitable for us according to the karma which we have created for ourselves.

In reality (from my own experience) there is no such place as hell. The universe is divided into various planes of existence. Some place, we can find good souls inhabiting, some place there are bad souls… meaning souls which has not realized itself to be soul.

Believe it or not, we all have some kind of guardians guiding us. If we could only become aware, we can communicate with them and find out what really happens in the life hereafter. In fact the prime purpose of life is to realize our own immortality, that we do survive beyond this thing we know as death. In order to do that, we learn the science of leaving the body and prove to ourself the existence of life after death and our own immortality.

All souls are beautiful. There is no doubts about this. The difference is some souls knows its own identity, some does not. We are all in the process of learning that we are soul. It takes many lifetimes to get to the understanding of the true nature of our “self” but we always have a choice in all these life we take, to learn about ourself. It’s really about whether we want to learn or not.

Souls never dies. Souls only translates from one plane of existence into another. You son is a soul who is now living somewhere in one of these many planes of existence. In truth, he never really died. It was only the physical body which died. He (soul) has chosen to leave, because he (soul) knows better what’s best for himself (soul).

Life persist. Life continues. Life really never end. What ends is only a transformation of something into another. When we see something transformed, the old thing disappear and something new appear. So be happy knowing that your son have never really died. He has chosen to take the next step in his own spiritual growth.

Thanks for dropping by Vaness. Yes, you can always improve your life no matter what situation you are in now.

Always ask, how can I serve and how can I learn? When you do this, first, you are giving back something to life for the gifts it has given you. Second, when you ask what can I learn, you are taking the attitude to learn something. This learning attitude is very important to improve ourself.

I think the more attached one is to his identity, opinion, reputation or whatever, the more afraid he is to lose it. If he perceives those things were wrongly damaged or taken away, he will take action to regain what he thinks he had lost.

Sometimes settling the score means inflicting equal or higher (usually higher) damage against the perceived tormentor. That’s called revenge. But the root cause of it is till the same – fear of loss.

So I endure all this by learning to let go of my own attachment to myself. If someone tries to destroy my reputation out of revenge, I tell myself reputation is just a self-serving illusion we all manufacture. In the end we all go the same way – 6 feet underground. With this I’ve learnt to receive such acts with a calm smile.

But it also sends a message that the world does not like. To the world, reputations are very real and if you don’t feel passionate enough to protect your damaged reputation, then it concludes maybe you didn’t have much to begin with. It doesn’t have time for compassion – that’s a tool of weaklings.

The world values passion. It values anger because anger gives you the power to conquer the enemy. It values fear because when you strike fear in someone, they give you a healthy respect. It values revenge because it recognizes that pride and reputation are important for getting ahead, and settling scores is an accepted way to maintain that pride. Friction and conflict has been man’s lot for thousands of years.

However I do believe one can survive this world while being compassionate and selflessness. You normally find such people in monasteries, those who take themselves out of the worldly loop. Frankly I sometimes wonder if that’s where I belong.

A lot of people are trying to take the so called ‘justified action’ practicing an eye for an eye but in truth, that’s vengeance in action. Any kind of action done in the absence of love is a reaction of what human beings believes to be righteous.

This is a warring universe. There is a constant war going on between human righteousness and love. The only righteous action should be an act done out of love and love doesn’t inflict injuries. As you said, if we kill someone here, we can be hanged. Not much of a loving reaction isn’t it and if we do follow the way of love here, than the action may appear unjustified towards the killer. It’s as if there is unfairness. What is fair for one person may not be fair for another person.

Karma on the other hand is different. While it may look as if it is an eye for an eye kind of law we can look at karma as a law established to educate souls about love, but man made laws, aren’t really educating souls about love. If look closely, you will find man made laws are teaching righteousness: Human righteousness. The purpose of karma is to teach you about love.

In the end, those who follow man made laws are subject to karmic law too. Karmic laws are natural laws. We all have to learn about love sooner or later. True love is above any kind of law. Love is a law unto itself. The whole aim of life experiences we go through is to find this Love (God). Until this lesson is learned, there will always be conflict in this world.

There is really a difference between what man believes to be right and what nature is trying to do by finding balance wherever there is conflicts. When man tries to be exacting in his revenge or judgment what his is upholding is his own self righteousness. It’s the attempt to preserve of his own ego which will fail in the end.

Nature is on the other hand is constantly preserving the entire universe. It’s really about being selfish and being selfless. If one is selfish he will look to his own agenda as something valid but if he can see love, he will let go his own puny ideas and work with the world towards creating a harmonious world.

Yet, it won’t be easy. The nature of this world is to be in constant dynamic struggle between the good and the bad. It is through conflict that we learn to grow. If there is no conflict, growth will be so slow that we can miss the lessons we are suppose to learn. Conflict inst bad after all. There is a good thing to everything.

It’s how we look at it and the way to do it is to ask ourself, “What is this situation trying to tell me?” There will always be a lessons. We wonder why things are the way they are and that’s alright but many times we fail to wonder why we are in this situation and what we are to learn from this situation. Often it’s a lesson on love.

Anyway my point is, the eye for an eye thing is actually the norm in this world. Our laws are punitive in nature. You can sue someone for slander. If you kill someone, you may be hanged. Retribution from god in the afterlife, karma, aren’t they all forms of getting even, an eye for an eye.

I admit I am confused between man exacting revenge and nature neutralizing imbalances to achieve harmony. Do you think they really all that different?
