The metaphysical point of view of Death and Life After Death Part 1

mankind over the centuries have seen death as something loathsome and cruel, preferable something terrible, something to avoid at all cost – that is, if a choice were given – but without any other option, are forced to succumb for lack of power over their occurrence. In anticipation of the termination of life on an unexpected moment and the possible prospect of annihilation of identity, humanity views death as a state of fear. This fear is sustained when all around, die, most seen, apparently in distress and suffering in agony in the death process. The fear of death is actually human fear of the unknown, and it shows people bondage, his ignorance, which ultimately grows in superstitious terms. comfort due to the underlying fear that they tried hard to postpone death by drugs and other means, medical science has not yet found a way to prolong life indefinitely – or to relieve his fears, or to answer profound questions offer on this ancient mystery. The knowledge of the true nature of death releases man from his captivity to his fears and the detention of its many superstitions relate. Such knowledge on personal experience can be obtained – convictions to the contrary provided places for an illusory border, on the unfolding soul. Alice Bailey, writing for the Tibetan in “A Treatise on White Magic”, refers to people fears about death:

“The spirit of man is so underdeveloped that the fear of unknown, fear of the unknown, and attachment to form brought a situation where one of the most blessed events in the life cycle of an incarnation of the Son of God is seen as something to avoid and be delayed for as long as possible. “(1972:494)

We can from their evidence, are fighting that one of the factors that caused people to death, the attachment is formed. The identification of the self with the physical form one is mistaken in thinking that the resolution of the physical body results in the destruction of the self. Sri Sankaracharya, the distinguished representative of Advaita Vedanta taught that the deluded mind with its beliefs in the reality of the form of servitude Maya, illusion or cosmic causes. Philosophically speaking, this is the condition of duality, and if man is responsible, the one reality underlying dualistic worlds, and when his true nature, he lives in fear and in a state of slavery. What is not destroyed real, what is unreal does not exist apart from our false perceptions and understanding. This is avidya or ignorance. To capture the true state of things is to really free from death. A consciousness is expanded and a divine right, when reality is known and the death for what it is really seen. What Bailey is not mentioned, occur that the soul-process of “death” in the meditative state can. Mystics call the “dying alive”, and advanced mystics a state where they claim and may cause the time and process are executed by their physical and mystical death – with this divine permission to have achieved. Mystical death offers an opportunity to acquire beautiful frightening vision of Islamic Marifatullah called Gnostics. We will not dwell on this mystical aspect in this paper, but more on the physical side of death and dying.

Before proceeding further, let us get a definition of the discipline dealing with death. The study is named correctly, “Thanatology” (from Greek thanatos, “death”). The Encyclopedia Britannica explains:

“… The description and investigation of death and dying and the psychological mechanisms of dealing with them. Thanatology is concerned with the concept of death popularly perceived and especially with the reactions of the dying, by whom it is feeling much can be learned about dealing with the death of the approach … In general, psychologists have agreed that there are two general approaches to death, which help in understanding the simultaneous processes of life and death. “versus my death your death” concept emphasizes the irrational belief that while “your death is a certainty, an exemption in” my case can be made. “The second concept,” partial deaths versus total extinction “stresses the belief put that through the experience of grief after the death of friends and relatives, a person so close to realizing as possible” partial death. “This experience color individual attitudes towards greater personal losses, culminating with the ultimate loss of life itself

“Thanatology also examines attitudes towards death, the meaning and behavior of grief and pain, and the moral to support and ethical issues of euthanasia, organ transplantation, and the life. “

Thanatology is concerned with the death from different perspectives, from the cultural and anthropological standpoint, the clinical, biological, religious, metaphysical, etc. The death itself is in the dictionaries as “extinction of life, defined” the stops “to be.”

Normally, the average person to avoid talking or thinking about death. When a topic chosen for discussion, for example, the subject is often and quickly banished to the background of life many “bad” needs and often talked in a hushed voice. Death has always been a taboo in social circles have been unexplained. One current negative attitude and understanding of the nature of death can be self-inflicted suffering, anguish and pain. It’s lack of understanding of the truth of death is primarily the result of a defect in the knowledge of spiritual truths, and, in the absence of spiritual awareness. Religious teachings and materialistic oriented education inadvertently encouraged man negative attitude towards death ‘. terrible conditions of the state to paint after death, from eternal punishment in fashion and the offer over the cruelties and atrocities of the Inquisition, torture, the materialistic philosophy of nihilism and destruction. religion and scientific institutions no real comfort or solace to those whose relatives have given the big change. the only way for individuals, a better understanding of death is by acquiring metaphysical knowledge of their nature and by developing a greater awareness of the multidimensional life, for Life is simple, it can not cease to be. Life is real and eternal because it is not exacerbated. Forms are assembled, so they are fleeting. detention and to what time is appropriate, and from the perspective of the Absolute threatened as “illusory”, often makes the feeling life of the variety of circumstances.

order of suffering in the form of sadness and anxiety are relieved humanity as a whole would have to be re-educated to the true nature of death, the value of that process and about the state of life after the great transition. One of the reference to the personal existence strengthened include: multi-dimensional worlds, an immortal aspect, not described in physical matter. Parallel to this process of purification of the spirit of his false beliefs and ideas about death – both the result of social conditioning and brainwashing – it should be a search, an investigation into the true purpose of life. After passing through the transition, not to know the purpose of personal existence is in vain to have lived. It is said that to die well, we must first learn to live well, and this is true, for our negative karma and our wrong attitude and approach of death causally leads us to pain and suffering in the Bardo, the death process – of which we shall deal in later chapters. For this reason, it is to start on all of us to the study of Thanatology – the science of death, as understood by metaphysics, it is worth a life to live, the meaning of suffering ease, and our concerns about the death and blur the established after-death state. Death is only a transformation, a process analogous to a caterpillar-turned-butterfly by metamorphosis.

Our “fate” and experience in the afterlife and death process are both largely determined by our karma, beliefs, knowledge (or lack of it), purity, justice and understanding of the role and purpose of our stay in the physical level. Life in this physical dimension should be an opportunity be seen to mature and to be free of all restrictions mortal although functioning organic by a ship. Some people experience the vicissitudes of life and needs often complain that it is not their desire to be born, which means that it is not to live their wish or to be here in this physical world, and yet, in that they contradict themselves by expressing a fear of death, say they want to not die – which means that they want to live. Such inconsistencies reflect the state of non-awareness of spiritual realities and truths. The death should be perceived as an initiation into the higher mysteries of nature. It is thus one of the most important events in the spiritual journey. A command of the life of their own lower self, and service at the higher intelligences, the prudent preparation for initiation is great to experience.

In ancient cultures the existence of the afterlife was taken for granted. In previous eras it was concepts or beliefs in the afterlife as the “Happy Hunting Grounds “Olympus” and the “Elysian Fields”. The spiritual instincts of early modern humans and have always rebelled against the idea of death, and rightly so, for death is not in fact exist, but the average person is usually unaware and ignorant of this truth, or he chooses to ignore it for reasons unknown. Death should not be considered as a final chapter or the conclusion of his own life, for death is simply a change, a transfer, a shift to a different level of consciousness, a different spatial activity. Orthodox or conservative scholars in accordance with Einstein’s equation E = MC2, “tell us that nothing can be destroyed in the universe, that there are only a transformation, a change or conversion of energy production fields, this is the business of life, recognized as a law of the cosmos, and yet, although created by that doctrine and scientific understanding, are the same skeptical scientists call the survival of personal consciousness or ‘awareness’ principle, as the Tibetan Buddhists. Mainstream of science, if purchased with a lot of positive data on the survival of consciousness by the researchers in the paranormal and related fields, stood still express disbelief to its reality. Why is it that the life force, soul and consciousness can not be seen by these scientists as energy fields, as well as all objects except for the tiny components that electrons, protons and neutrons, which are known to be? In a nutshell, why scientists do not know to do the soul? Is it perhaps because the unconscious resistance and hostility toward religion, science has long pursued in the centuries past? From the occult point of view generated group heads form organisms or currents of energy with certain qualities in accordance with the thoughts and feelings of the authors or individuals from the same group-mind. This is called a egregore. Such an indefinite life egregore can live for centuries, and will affect all that comes in his intellectual and emotional force fields. It is through this egregore that an individual, a scientist, for example, residing in the distant past can affect a scientist living in the present. Affect feelings about the religion and its teachings, such as his explanation of the living soul, the dissolution of the physical body to survive and can therefore be carried from the past into the present. As can be seen from the above, the antagonism of scientists have not really directed to the concept of the afterlife, or soul-survival, but against religion as a whole, and this dichotomy is an unconscious feeling – the result of centuries of ill-treatment in hands of the religion – in the name of the Almighty executed.

investigators and exponents of mainstream science, but not in their laboratories, the cessation of life, and the non-survival of consciousness after death proved. On the contrary, they are to discover and prove very to close its reality and validity. It seems that the veil of Isis is thinner, but the question of the survival of consciousness, we feel, can only be satisfactory and sufficient answer to us from personal experience – by phenomena such as NDEs (Near Death Experience) and the projection of the consciousness and the subtle body. Without personal experience, there would be an element of doubt, the truth would escape our comprehension, and the false illusions of our minds. Knowledge regarding the truth of death removes fear, pain and suffering. If one understands the nature and the mechanism of life and death, one begins to a philosophical and mystical life, open to spiritual truths lead and impressions. One begins in harmony with the forces and laws of living nature, in accordance with the purposes of the divine plan. Scientists would need to be philosophers and mystics, to break any bias limiting their heads from the truth of life after death.

It is a fallacy to believe that the nature of death and the afterlife state is not known, while embodied and functioning in the three-dimensional sphere. Religious fundamentalism in general would have us believe so. Man dies temporarily every night during sleep state, and he calls his work during such a state as “dreams”. One death every time he practices occurs in the delta-theta state. Poor memory of a night activities results in an inadequate understanding of the nature and the relationship between sleep and death. Spiritual development improves the memory of astral activities and raise awareness of the “no-dream” state. Refinement of the soul dissolves the essential fabric on the crown chakra and forms a connection between the brain and mind for greater freedom of movement of the personal-consciousness to higher dimensions without any break in consciousness. Basically the only difference between death and sleep-state that death is the permanent evacuation of the awareness-principle from the physical body while in sleep it is only a temporary state. In the death sutratma or silver cord, hooks, and the personal consciousness leaves the physical body to fall apart and return to the ground, where it came from. At rest, this cord that connects the physical body is maintained with the subtle body. In essence, death is an illusion. Death is actually an interval between two states or levels of consciousness. It eventuates in the return of each component of the micro-cosmos to its rightful place. This truth is embodied in the poetic verses of Ovid:

“Four things the people there are: spirit, soul, spirit, flesh,

” These four, four places to hold and do not have,

“The earth covers meat, the specter hovering over the grave,

” longing Orcus has the soul to do the spirit Stars. “

One has the divine ability to be aware of his being as existing independently from the physical vehicle. This is achieved by what is now considered lucid dreaming and astral projection or “OBE” (out-of-the -body experience) as a modern term for the phenomenon. Like St. Paul, it is possible to say for all of us that we “knew a man who went into the third heaven,” and hear things that do not is not for the Introduction. Death is a change of focus of our consciousness from one level to another. This will be done by the above means. Astral Projection is a skill that all metaphysicians should try to buy – because it is educational and it opens up ways -up of services that can be done. Most, if not all mystical traditions teach this occult ability. The practitioners of Taoist Yoga, for example, learns in the course of his studies on how to separate the soul and spirit from the physical body. Advance mystics and occultists are all working in a position in full awareness of the physical, astral and mental worlds. Such people are not with the arguments of the materialists concerned – arguments indicating the non-survival of themselves, because everyone knows the mystical truth of the thing from personal experience.

dying, to initiate, is a science and an art. The technology of death, the inter-dimensional consciousness, Travelers is known. The Psychonaut is familiar with the many stages of the Bardo that one takes the “six areas,” or liberation from the cycle of reincarnation. It is the reality of reincarnation, which proves that we are no stranger to death. We embody and drive through the change of death is repeated until we to emancipate ourselves from the wheel of birth and rebirth. We have all the angels of death met countless times, and passes this ghost again meet in the future. All religions refer to this life-death cycle, although some metaphorical.

Every metaphysician should be familiar with the topic of death, as understood in the esoteric sense, and his occult process. In the course of his metaphysical ministry, we would often meet individuals suffering from fear and sadness. The metaphysician of the situation should be, the kind of comfort that goes beyond the service of the funeral ceremony and offer the proclamation of the word “ashes to ashes, dust to dust …” To the dying, and the newly passed on, the advanced metaphysician should to act as a guide for the inner levels of being. He should be the role of Anubis, guiding the departed soul to its rightful place. This should an integral part to any last rites or sacraments are given. There is much superstition, Fear and ignorance about the nature of death among the masses. It is fitting, therefore, the metaphysical consultant, his or her role in society play instructive, and this office would come to mankind as a whole. We believe that this paper should be written to metaphysicians of the importance of teaching the truths that the masses about the continuity of life, remember the personal identity, and consciousness. A professional image is enhanced if well equipped with the necessary knowledge. Although much has focused on the topic death has been written, given with much valuable information, we take this opportunity to some of our own knowledge and experience to enrich Add to learn the existing literature and the storehouse of humanity.

The metaphysical point of view of Death and Life After Death Part 7

resolution of the physical form leads to a release of the awareness-principle from the body and expands consciousness to embrace a higher state. The absorption of the four elements are spiritually on the activities of its subtle counterpart personified as goddesses:

context, 1) Buddhalocana – Earth

2) Mamaki – Water

3) Pandaravasini – Fire

4) Samayatara – Air

After absorption of the elements that begins as the “three paths. The above known as “coarse resolution”, the three ways in which the “subtle resolution is known.” The three paths to be raised by internal processes of Lamas, the phases of the “appearance”, “” and “achievement associated named.” Are you with the three “Tiglath-pileser related ‘or’ bindu.” The Tiglath-pileser than the essences of their parents, and have certain colors associated with the male and female seeds described. Tiglath-pileser The male is white in color and is located on the top of the head. It provides “skillful means”. It is also the Nirmanakaya context – one of the three bodies often referred to in Mahayana Buddhism. Tiglath-pileser The female is in the color red and is domiciled at the base of the spine. It provides “wisdom” and is available with the Sambhogakaya in context. Tiglath-pileser, the third is a neutral nature, it is a combination of both man-woman Tiglath-pileser, when they meet in the heart, it leads Tiglath-pileser in the black. Tiglath-pileser This is in connection Dharmakaya. The movements of the three Tiglath-pileser in the physical body lead to the stadiums of their own creation of the “emptiness” or the clear light of emptiness, failed the average person. During the process, the white death of Tiglath-pileser followed rises in the heart center with the rise of the red Tiglath-pileser in the same locality. These are the levels of “appearance” and “increase.” The stage of “realization” or the “Black Path” occurs when male and female together hindus in the heart center to the black Tiglath-pileser form and give rise to the actual moment of death. The appearance of the Clear Light follows in this moment. In the black stage, the average person usually falls in a swoon to take the Buddhist teachings such as Mahamudra or Dzogchen, but is able to maintain awareness and recognize the clear light, as it seems. Regarding the nature and movements of Tiglath-pileser, Chokyi Nyima Rinpoche in the Bardo Guidebook comments:

“White or the appearance of the origin of the white element, from a father at the moment of conception. At this time there is a white shimmering light like moonlight. The external sign is like the moon rising or descending. The inner sign is that consciousness feels vague in itself as a mirage. This should be the experience of whites are recognized.

“The experience of the redness with the ascent of the red item from a mother won at conception like sunshine in a place filled with dust, so that the sun appears very red. The external sign is a red sun either rising or setting. The inner sign is sparkling sparks that appear and disappear like fireflies. The experience of darkness as the darkness of the night sky. At this point, the changes his mind between clear and unclear. “(1991:92-93)

The appearances of the three Tiglath-pileser should be symbolic. They represent psychological processes that cleans as much as possible, the mind of emotional and mental stains. Our original nature , the Clear Light of the Void, Christian said, representing one of the “father” in heaven or Illahi Just as the Muslims would call it .. This bright divine within the negative emotional and mental qualities clouded Funke, my Muslim mystics recognized as ” hijab “or veil. One of the negative toxins of the psyche, his true nature, free to be apperceived easy. The” movements “of Tiglath-pileser facilitate this process. The Bardo Guidebook, the author refers to the psychological adjustment of thought in connection with sensual pleasure , anger and delusion, and in connection with the three stages of Tiglath-pileser:

“While the white experience of the thirty-three states stop thinking caused by anger. While the experience of thinking red forty states caused by passions cease. When the two essences, take the seven states that ends of thoughts stupidity caused. “(1991:12)

And once freed from the above negative, deluded thoughts of anger, passion and stupidity, which remains is the clear light of Dharmakaya – a divine nature.

When the dying process is the last stop in the near future, llamas make it a method to the pilgrims dying body turn right onto the page. This they call the “horizontal attitude of the lion.” The carotid arteries of the left and right sides of the neck are pressed simultaneously. hope by that practice, that the “awareness-principle would” will emerge from the crown chakra. By Pressing the arteries, the remaining force in the body no longer re circulates within the physical system – it is forced through the top portal. The pressure on the arteries prevents the soul or consciousness principle, falls from fainting, or death, impotence. It also solves the experience of the clear light of the first phase of the Bardo, and the hoped for recognition of it. By the way, it is also believed that the arterial pressure or the Kundalini serpent-force are at the lower end of the spine stimulates, like the death of hormone-Chaney is believed. This occult writer also believes that Kundalini is an active cause of the phenomena of Bardos. Kundalini, as it rises to the dying brain about sushumna, or the subtle spinal nerve, is probably one of lamas important factor in the onset Clear Light of the Void are. The pressure on the carotid artery is maintained for about six minutes after the last breath – the time it takes to dawn the Clear Light. We will also Bardo discouraged teachings, a corpse for at least an hour after death, for it is said that the awareness-principle will be attracted to the area affected to touch. This would only cause the mind of the soul to be distracted and wander away from the important experiences Bardo.

Although soul-emergence from the crown chakra is the wish of every well-informed Tibetans who embodied soul may be even after Lamas, by any of the other eight holes of the body, the route of which, as it is determined the whereabouts of our own consciousness-principle in later life. Below we give the nine gates of departure and the related areas:

anus – hell realm

genital – Animal Kingdom

Mouth – Hungry Ghost realm

nose – Human Reich

Navel – Desire-gods kingdom

Ears – Asura / Titan Empire

Eyes – the form of Gods kingdom

top of the head – Formless realm of the gods

Crown of head – Devachan

We now consider the three Bardos, or the three stages of the Bardo – the Chikai, Chonyid and Sidpa. Below we give the Bardo phases and stages, and the approximate number of days that the soul may dwell in them:

1) Chikai Bardo, first stage – First to third day

2) Chikai Bardo, second step – third for the fourth day

3) Chonyid Bardo , first stage – fourth to eleventh

4) Chonyid Bardo, second step – Eleventh to nineteenth

5) Sidpa Bardo, first stage – Nineteenth-to-day forty

6) Sidpa Bardo, second step – Forty days and forty ninth

It should be noted that not all these Bardos of a break can be experienced. liberation and enlightenment in the first or second phase of production of the subsequent stages through unnecessary; it occur depends on the purity, the spirituality and karma of the dying pilgrim makes. Each new stage, it seems unlikely that the exemption be obtained, but with the right belief, humility, knowledge , attitude, behavior and consciousness, the grace of the cosmos can on the one experiencing the Bardo and offer pour achieve the long sought-destined for salvation. Our understanding, awareness and reactions in the Bardo, whether we are to attain enlightenment or to extend our existence in samsara.

Chikai Bardo, first stage

In this first stage of the Bardo of Clear Light of the Void dawning consciousness or awareness-principle. in this Vajrayana teachings Clear Light is none other than the Dharmakaya, the highest principle in the microcosm of man’s being. In theosophy, this is the Monad, or the “I AM Presence” as some esoteric schools of thought would call it, or “Yechidah” in the Qaballa , the oral tradition of Judaism.

Clear Light is like a mirror that reflects our divine self, our true Buddha-nature. Clear Light will shine and sparkling, with a brightness that a thousand suns be exceeded. knowledge to know and merging with one’s true nature gives you a new spiritual status. The experience expanded consciousness, not unlike the “Cosmic Consciousness” by Richard M. Bucke. Essentially, the clear light is experienced when it in its true original nature remains at rest, without thought or emotion through motion. This usually occurs in a deep state of meditation. Enjoy the Clear Light, free and in full awareness from Samsara, Maya, and the dualistic state of mind and conception. The clear light and liberation implies a non-dual state, a non-thought-formation, and a stay in one of the divine nature.

After the Vajrayana teachings Chikai stage given the first opportunity to be freed us from the world of birth and rebirth, the cycle of reincarnation, with its accompanying suffering and pain. Our main problem is the maintenance of consciousness, while in the Soul-release and recognition of the clear light, if it appears is. Most people go through this stage unconsciously in a state of slumber. Several factors caused the awareness-principle fall into a stupor and does not recognize its true nature as shown by the clear light. impurity of thoughts and feelings, guilt, unforgivingness, attachment to the world of form and possessions, the ignorance of the Bardo-States and its liberating potential karmic stains, and the influence of drugs are just some of the causes that prevent the soul from achieving salvation in the clear light. Earlyne Chaney In her book, “The Mysteries of Death & Dying” comments, why the lights are not seen:

“When it gets dark in the sense that it reflects on the mirror of your soul and the mirror can then not reflect the splendor of the clear light itself. At a moment when the clear light comes up, the mind is like a mirror, and only if it is the karmic obstacles cleared the mind can reflect the light of ultimate reality. That is why it is so difficult for most of us imagine that we merge with the clear light, because the mind must be cleared completely of all karmic darkness. “(1989:70)

To prepare for the Clear Light experience, we recommend the lamas to meditate daily and to certain purifying, detoxifying processes go through – mentally, emotionally, physically and mentally – that deletes the skandhas, the aggregates of the lower state of the microcosm, depending from all the psycho-physical slag, which is like a veil on the prevention of Clearlight its shimmering luster from the emerging markets and make contact with the soul-in-transition. more karmic stains in skandhas, the less we see the clear light. Heruka Vajrasattva Sadhana Purifying practices such as, for example, are often turned to the mental and emotional continuum of karmic stains clear. The need for purity in his nature, to the clear light see is also found in Christian doctrine, which said that only see the pure, “God.” Surat An-Nur of the Quran alludes poetically the clear light, only to Illahi and how it is perceived.

In principle, one of the five skhandas (essence of form, sensation, volition, consciousness will be resolved and deluded perception) to recognize the clear light and its transformative qualities. It takes a completely detached mind and to melt a pure consciousness, free from karmic stains with the high energies of the Divine flame of the Clear Light of the Void. Only then one is free from all mortal states and is born in an empire beyond the laws of change, of becoming. immortality is achieved in such a way. Bokar Rinpoche, told in the Book of Death & the Art of Dying us the importance of completing the merger own with the clear light:

“In recognition of this fundamental Clearlight “always means” Buddha in the absolute body at the moment of death! It is said that it also means “as a Buddha in the first liberated Bardo. On awakening is achieved, the next Bardo no more. “(1993:19-20)

Chikai Bardo, Second Stage

During the first phase of the Chikai occurs in the impotence of state approaching death, this second phase occurs after the clinical death – usually a half hour after the event out. From the occult point of view, it occurs after the heart seed atom leaves the physical body and the severance of sutratma. The duration of this phase is a little longer than the previous one. At this stage , the Clear Light intensity apparently reduced to a certain extent. This is indeed the case, because the veil of its own ignorance and karma. Although the Clear Light may not be detected in the initial period, there is still a chance for the awareness-principle when she awakens from her stupor or dream-like state to observe the take in the clear light of this secondary phase of Chikai. This is usually with the help of the presiding officer, the recitation of the “Handbook of death” or the Bardo Thödol done. The Bardo ritual and the deceased helps to the fact that they had passed through the gate of death, and it should now pay attention to the following psychological phenomena known to wake. In the Tibetan Book of the Dead, the awareness-principle in the Chikai stage is advised to see their own Ur Self:

“O nobly born, when the mind and body separated, you have a look at the plain truth, subtle, sparkling, bright, dazzling, magnificent, have seen bright and awesome in appearance like a mirage moving across a landscape in spring-time in a continuous stream of vibrations. Do not become discouraged or frightened, or intimidated. This is the broadcasting of your own true nature. This License. “(1975:104)

As in the first stage, the exemption also here as a gift of divine intelligence, but it is a partial exemption, not as completely or as far as the liberation of the first level offered. To the attainment of liberation, as I said, it is necessary, meditation practice, can where every day an insight into the clear light can be seen and experienced in an altered state of consciousness to our aid, to its full capacity in about can be seen Chikai. experience the clear light in the meditative state help us to make it into the state Chikai experience. Spiritual exercises such as visualization of your own physical body and aura with white light helps to surround ourselves very clear on the light when it from the depths of our being recognized. creates the memory of training relating to the Bardo also increases significantly the chances that the soul would recognize the clear light and know the way the right approach for the following Bardos. marifat The Gnostic or techniques the Muslim and Hindu mystics, the therapist can indicate the presence of clear light cause, as well as the techniques of Dzogchen.

The intensity of the clear light that appears consciousness is dependent on the quality of light within of our own consciousness. An impure consciousness impairment of Clear Light of the Void would. Normally, the average person does not experience or recognize the clear light of Chikai stage, and those who go violent deaths of experience through the first stages of the Bardos very quickly, spot even without the clear light.

While the experienced Chikai stage, it is possible for the awareness-principle from the clear light by loud noises or the physical complaints of the relatives and friends to be diverted. It is for this reason that the room of the dying person should be free from any conditions that may interfere with their mental concentration.

If you successfully detect the clear light, one should merge into it or absorb their aura . This will lead one of the Buddhi or higher worlds. Otherwise, if unsuccessful would the recognition and merging with the clear light, you just fall asleep, and give the following Bardos. It should be noted that in light of this secondary Chikai that the deceased can often look a pending relatives and friends on the Otherside, or see their presiding deity or guru, or even hear heavenly music. This phenomenon is based in near-death experiences as recorded by doctors and researchers of the paranormal.

Chonyid Bardo,

As the awareness-principle sink deeper into the depths of the Bardo – because of lack of spiritual attainments – the Clear Light of the Void reduced its shining brilliance, or to be more precise, heavy veil wrap them. Chikai In the previous stage, was the clear light a manifestation of the Dharmakaya. Chonyid In this stage of the Bardo Dharmata, the light falls through the sambhogakaya which are designed to break the causal body can mean. In the field of psychology, this may correspond to the superconscious sambhogakaya, while the former corresponds to cosmic consciousness. An awareness that time, the clear light of broken sambhogakaya sees as colored rays, which varies by type of the spiritual side of our mental contents formed . What you see in the Chonyid are basically hallucinations.

In this phase, and phase one and subconscious mental content of a spiritual nature from the outside of the lights sambhogakaya projected as mental images. These images can take the form of gods, devas, angels or masters – everything that reflects our spiritual conscious state. doctrines of Tibetan Buddhism refers to this stage as the appearance of the “42 peaceful deities” or the appearance of karmic illusions of a spiritual nature . It is said that this peaceful deities go out from the heart center. The spiritual forms of these deities appear usually in the form of the being that we pray often and seek spiritual refuge. It can be seen, however, important that all forms which appear in the Chonyid Sidpa and intellectual creations are, and are therefore unreal. says about the nature of these deities, Tsele Rangorol in the mirror of awareness that,

“… The gods are an expression of his own present alertness spontaneously, they are automatically there own inherent nature. “(1993:10)

Visions in this and the following Bardos are reflections of our usual patterns of thinking. The spiritual is inclined to see spiritual images in this stage, while the mind would deal with habitual carnal thoughts Bardo probably this stage as it would have done so with the previous Chikai stage, and proceed to the next to see visions of their basic ideas. The primary goal in this and the following stages will see the “emptiness” of these pictures, and understand their true nature as to transform the clear light. In this way our awareness through the realization of the true reason of this vision and integrate it into our own nature . Failure to do so simply results in a rebirth in one of the bottom six areas. It is not the recognition of mental images as your own thought-forms in the Bardo and the next results in a continued existence in samsara.

The metaphysical point of view of Death and Life After Death Part 3

FINDINGS

In this chapter we will consider the four perspectives are closer. We will look into the dying process and the nature of life in the higher levels, as seen through the eyes of Western and Eastern occult. The analysis of religious ideas anent death, dying and death for our country will have a clearer picture of what is generally believed by the average person. We will not deal with religious concepts from the perspective of a particular religion, but from an overall strategy, general view. The findings of modern researchers of the paranormal will greatly improve our understanding of the laws of nature, while the Tibetan teachings on death us a better understanding of the purpose of life and the liberating nature of the death process. We will discuss these different perspectives with a metaphysical understanding.

The metaphysician is a seeker of the empirical and pragmatic truths – truths and laws that are applicable and relevant to their own lives. The metaphysician, as a healer of the human soul, is a seeker, not only for theoretical but practical, factual and experiential knowledge. Such knowledge, like a collection of relevant data, provides the material needed to gain wisdom, insight and understanding of God’s plan, and the privilege of participating in the creative work of the universe. Knowledge about the death process and the purposes of life offers us in a certain power that determine our destiny in the higher worlds and in the later incarnations with the exercise of our God-given gift of free choice and divine will of our Higher Self.

Religious beliefs

followers of religions have seen death, or the transition to a new dimension in contradictory terms. On the one hand there is a lively expectation and hope of a glorious future state in a heavenly paradise, and torture on the other, a pronounced fear of eternal damnation and burning in an eternal hell. The concepts of heaven and hell are in most religions, and from the occult point of view there is a basis for these ideas, however, are heaven and hell, as understood by the masses and unenlightened cleric of distorting the reality underlying these countries.

Hell, according to religious ideas, is a place in the hereafter for the punishment of the wicked, immoral and sinful men and women. It describes a place of eternal torment, a place with fire and brimstone, a place of horror and terror, a place where one suffers pain and misery will be occupied indefinitely. Judaism refers to these as hell Sheol and Gehenna, while the ancient Greeks called it Hades and Tartarus. In Buddhism, the hell-state as Avitchi is known. Hell in the literature as the Inferno, the Abyss, the pit, the darkness, etc. Limbo was described in Paradise Lost, Milton called the capital of Hell, Pandemonium, which refers in a figurative sense, to a state of chaos, lawlessness and anarchy. used in the Gospel stories of the fish-master after a pit outside the walls of Jerusalem – a pit as a waste incinerator. This burning pit was used as an illustration, in a metaphorical and symbolic way, the type of Gehenna. Not understanding the symbolism, have accepted Christ’s followers of the Master’s statement in a literal sense. It should also pointed out that these ancient mystic earth plane to be one of the regions of hell.

In the scriptures we are told that God is a consuming fire. The fire is synonymous with the fire and flames of hell, the soul, are always higher vibrations fiery nature. What to consume the flames of God? They use the temporary manifestation of the false ego with his expressions of pride, hatred and cruelty. It purifies the subtle body of the mental dross. In the alchemical tradition of fire has been a symbol for the processes of transformation and purification. In the same esoteric meaning, causes the fiery appeal of the hell of cleansing and transformation of the soul which results in soul-awakening. Once the mortal soul realizes its mistakes and regrets, it rises from the fires of hell and enters the plains of “purgatory” for the next phase of the cleaning process. From another perspective, it may symbolize the flames of hell a soul the desire for the physical world – its use unsatisfied longing, and anger or resentment against anything that is against its selfish. The freedom from such a hell is a simple matter of lapse of the lower desires and the acquisition of humility. We experience suffering in hell, apart from the above conditions could also be the result of the repentant feelings for his past deeds are negative, is a “sin” of omission and the Commission, or the result of their own anger and resentment at not possess the ability to resume the life-style had been known before. These often cause a so-called “earthbound spirit.”

The concept of purgatory was first used by Pope Gregory I, who lived in the sixth century AD formulated. Although shot in a dogma in some Christian sects, this teaching on the reality as it is the experience of the mystic and clairvoyant is validated. Purgatory is an intermediate plane between heaven and hell, but in reality, all aircraft are in the purgatorial nature. Purgatory, in a specific sense, is a level of consciousness, a dimension where the souls stay temporarily cast off material and carnal habits, attitudes and feelings. It is a realm of purification of thoughts, feelings and desires. Purgatory is where one begins and the assimilation of the experiences of one’s life embodies. After this cleaning has taken place, the soul is appropriate at one of the heavenly regions expressed. This is done automatically, without authoritarian decree or monitoring. To believe

that a loving, kind and merciful God would banish and exile wayward souls to eternal damnation and punishment is a sacrilegious attitude and emotion, and an injustice to our Creator. The loving spirit of the cosmos Omniversal would have never thought such an idea. God does not punish. Hell many regions were not created by God, but disobeyed by the people the bad conscience of evil people, moods and preferences, by the people and violation of the law of cosmic harmony. This is not to say that there are not hell and its torments. They exist, but as an illusion of Maya. They are tangible but are phantasmagoria. Hell is an inner state of the eclipse projected into the consciousness and objectified on astral substances. Hell is a state of mind and consciousness externalized and reflected in the astral and even physical environment. to build unconsciously Sojourners hell, share, and the experience of a collective thought form.

religion in the collective sense, hell in terrible shape and color images. In reality, most of the devils and demons are tormenting souls in hell mere fantasies of the psyche. The wrathful deities, creatures and demons found in Hell, as Satan, Beelzebub, Astaroth, Mara, the Raksasas, the Furies, the Harpies, the Furies, chimeras, and Cerburus Hydras are all negative thoughts and feelings in the mind externalized in an illusory, hallucinatory sense to torture for his past misqualification the soul-energy. Apart from the hell are these cruel and grotesque images also seen and experienced in a particular phase of the Bardo. This terrible demons are mere symbols of negative human behavior. The bad conscience of men and women bad breaks inclined to manifest from the unconscious, so terrible illusions. Simply put, a bad conscience and temperament creates the experience of hell. Cornelius Agrippa, the famous occultist of the 16th Century, referring to the illusory nature of hell through the hell experienced strangers, says that the souls,

Are “… the most cruelly tortured in the irascible faculty with the hatred of an imaginary evil in which the disturbances, as well as false accusations and horrible fantasies fall then, and they are sad, they represent images, sometimes the sky falling on their head, sometimes of being swallowed up in the earth … and sometimes the being taken, and tormented by devils. “(1995:596)

In the Gathas, one of the sacred writings of Zoroastrianism is the hell as a place of the worst ideas described, and like the house of lies. The people of Ahura Mazda believed and still believe, that in hell one is plagued by Daena, or conscience, but they did not understand the intention of this and to consider as a permanent condition – a concept of theologians of many different faiths presented. Eternal punishment is illogical, meaningless and without purpose, and goes against all the spiritual principles and values. It would be unrealistic to ban a merciful God ended soul-identity and awareness rather than to picture the Almighty and gloating over the suffering and misery to see the wayward souls. Therefore, the purpose of hell is not to punish but to awaken the soul to its spiritual poverty, the need to turn to the divine light. Here we emphasize the notion of hell from the perspective of Zorastrianism for it has much the Semitic religions, which somehow distorts the transmission of esoteric knowledge influenced.

Hell should not be seen as an eternal state. It exists for the soul only as long as the soul does not want to admit and face the light of God, truth, and shall give their resentment, hatred and other negative emotions. Not all souls reside in hell or purgatory. Lofty, bypass the pure souls of the lower worlds, especially for a place in the celestial regions head. Every soul is in the plane best suited for nature. This process or procedure is not arbitrary from a being, there is no one to force and compel us to be judged in each area. That’s all running according to the law of the match. One spiritual realization or lack of it down, where he would go. It is a matter of frequencies. A personal frequency to join in the corresponding dimension vibrating at the corresponding wavelength. Imagine if you will, a wicked sinners receive forgiveness in the last hour and goes to the heavenly worlds. The mere presence of the sinner would turn heaven into hell, for his innate wickedness, its negative character, would pollute the environment. Death does not transform our character. We carry our same personality, character, spirit and emotions, where we go. If we are in constant discord with our environment, with our many relationships here on this earth plane, we would not express it in the subtle worlds. The presence of negativity causes of the soul, the astro-mental body, to a certain density in their power structures and fields, a certain atomic weight, assuming that it binds to the lower regions of hell or purgatory. The sky is so protected by troublemakers. Whether in Hell or Purgatory, the soul suffers all his misqualified and wasted energy alone. The length of time that people stay in hell or purgatory is dependent on itself, to your own inner desire to improve his character, at his own request, to be free, the desire, forgive ourselves and others – for forgiveness request those wrong, and the desire to serve others.

visualized in terms of the heaven, the Christians have long it will be paved in gold to a magnificent city with streets and decorated with precious stones. The book of Revelation has done much to Christian beliefs on this matter, mold. What is not known to the average Christian, that the apocalypse in Revelation is symbolic and that it initiated a work of great initiates of lesser degree is written, the mysteries of God, and that it has to be interpreted literally, to deceive and mislead themselves. It takes a great familiarity with the occult, the Qaballah, and initiation to interpret teachings of the ancients really the true meaning of its spiritual content.

Heaven, the general expectation is that a place of reward, the eternal tranquility. Ancient Greeks called Elysian Fields to heaven or Olympus. The followers of Zoroaster describe it as the house of the sun, and the whereabouts of the best ideas – a place where the sun never ceases to shine – no doubt an allusion to the nature of the illuminating surface. To Hindus, the sky is the ratio of that and it is in the higher lokas. Theosophists call the sky “Devachan.” The ancient Egyptians called it Sechet hetepet. To Scandinavians, it is Asgard, and call it Summerland spiritualists. Heaven is as an abode of peace, happiness and wealth one fundamental religious belief in every culture, ancient and modern. How the hell thinks a place of punishment, it was believed heaven is a realm of rewards by the virtuous, the “poor in spirit” and those who are to serve God faithfully.

How the hell are followers of the religion also misunderstood the nature of heaven and wrong. In their theology, most religions lay too much stress on externals without regard to the mystical nature of their teachings, this is especially true for the majority of concepts such as heaven and hell. The Baha’i religion, as an exception, believe heaven and hell to mental conditions rather than mere places. In its theological teaching, the sky is the proximity of consciousness on the throne of God is defined, and hell as one of the remoteness of the heavenly deity. This is in line with the words of the Nazarene, that the kingdom of God within. Although the notion of paradise among Christians has a different meaning proclaimed as the Kingdom of God as the Master – the former believe that it will be a place – it could be considered in fact as such, as a place or places reflects the internal state of the soul, just like hell – although we seem to contradict our earlier statement about Christian emphasis on externals. As mentioned above, heaven and hell as places were to be justified by the discoveries and experiences of the mystic and clairvoyant. However, we note that the diverse external reality, but is a reflection of the internal condition or state of mind. We have done this before, but when it is necessary to reaffirm its importance.

Although the sky is so beautiful and glorious, as described by religions, it is not a place of eternal rest. A paradise of peace and idleness is a static condition. Inertia does not exist in the universe. Everything is in motion and in a continuous change. The Greek philosopher Heraclitus said that “everything.” All Sparks, or God’s creatures are forever on. Everything is in a dynamic state of the transition to a higher expression and manifestation. Heaven as experienced and understood by mystics, is a state of intense activity. The sky is not a place where people sing hymns and play the harp all day long (unless that is what we enjoy), it is a place of education for the evolving soul, where the mysteries of the universe and studied cosmic laws. In the higher worlds, one learns to exercise his creativity in myriad ways. One also spends his time in the sky all creation are active in various functions in accordance with an innate abilities and talents. In the heavenly regions, there are no angels with wings and halos adorn, as the painters represented in its art. In heaven, angelic beings, with their purity, love and other positive virtues adorned. What wings are simply magnetic radiation are streaming from their people.

One of the salient features of religious belief, that during the transition before it passes on to heaven or hell, you have to submit to a verdict. The ancient Egyptians, Tibetans, Christians, Muslims and many others have had their sentence and scenes in their theological concepts. This is deeply rooted in the eschatology of religion and, as a fact on the basis of truth, which we will see later, when we consider the Bardos. It is sufficient here to describe certain aspects of the Judgement scene.

The Judgement scene almost every religion has one judge, one of the balance scale, a clerk, and of course, to judge the soul. For the ancient Egyptians, Osiris was the judge of the soul, Anubis the balance of the scales, while Thoth, the scribe was. The human soul is often portrayed as Hawk-tip. In Zoroastrianism, Mithras, Zoroaster, or sometimes sitting on the bench, with Rashnu as Wiegers and Sraosha as recorder. Tibetans called her a magistrate and clerk Dharmaraja Shinjé – the ape line. Christians believe that Jesus is the one to judge the “quick and the dead”, to be with angelic as his staff secretary.

In the Judgement scene, like the ancient Egyptians, who is understood from, or the heart of the soul against Maat, or Truth, symbolized by a spring weighed. The deceased is a long confession, affirming his impressive work. The negative work of soul goes unspoken and unproclaimed – the soul of hope that his past sinful deeds are overlooked and not disclosed. But then comes the weighing of the scales, where the testimony of the soul can be measured by its truth. If found not to measure up to his honesty, the soul is led into the hell of Typhon, who are tortured as one of the presiding demons, otherwise it is shown the way to paradise. The Judgement scene of all religions, more or less follows along similar lines.

According to some religious and cultural beliefs that before the verdict or the entry into the underworld, the soul had to cross a river or rivers, before passing on to its destination. The soul is usually conducted over the river in a boat or through the use of certain bridges. Ancient people used these symbols to mean the processes of transition. Muslims call the bridge “Sirat”, while followers of Zoroaster call it “Chivat. Ancient Greeks called the underworld river Styx, Acheron, Cocytus and Phlegethon. These names rivers, the four streams of the Garden of Eden match: Pison, Gihon, Euphrates and Hiddekel. Occult, they probably relate to the four essential levels. Scandinavians believe in a river to cross the souls in the world had Cthonians. You call that “Wimur.” Ancient Babylonians believed that cross the river had soul to the Huber prior to reaching the “mountain of justice”, or convicted scene.

Psychologically, rivers, oceans cover, pools, lakes and all the subconscious element in man. lurk in the depths of the Freudian “id” various monsters – phobias, psychoses, neuroses and repressions. In an occult sense, these monsters of the psyche are together known as the guardians of the threshold. Crossing rivers in its symbolism, brings encounter with these monsters, the suppressed images in the death process, and that in the Tibetan Thanatology, this is exactly what happens in the Bardo. All religious doctrines teach the danger that the soul can face in the intermediate state.
