Suicide - no good idea, no solution - the consequences
Why the desired End of our Existence cannot happen according to Natural Laws
A Roadmap to Escaping the Downward Spiral of Suicidal Thoughts
Let’s begin with the most sobering fact—one that, for many, gradually transforms into a life-changing realization over months or even years: the idea that suicide can bring about the end of life, existence, and consciousness, along with all suffering and problems, simply does not work. According to natural laws, such a result is impossible!
In reality, suicide has consequences that extend far beyond death. This isn’t a claim rooted in the teachings of a guru, sect, church, esoteric belief, or religious dogma. Instead, modern developments in both spiritual and scientific fields have shed new light on the topic of life after death, offering evidence that alters the way we view this sensitive subject.
This means no one should embark on what is perhaps life’s most significant and irreversible journey without first thoroughly understanding what lies ahead.
This website aims to provide clarity on this emotionally charged and deeply personal topic while maintaining a solution-oriented approach. It pragmatically describes crucial connections that can help individuals escape the dangerous downward spiral of intensifying suicidal thoughts.
Here, you’ll find information that is rarely addressed elsewhere on the internet—insights that offer those considering suicide a vital tool for informed decision-making. This knowledge has the potential to help people break free from despair, offering a new perspective and paths toward healing and hope.
Depression often marks the beginning of a challenging mental journey. It is something that most people experience in phases at some point in their lives. However, the transition from mild to severe depression is fluid, and the duration of depression varies greatly from person to person. When the suffering becomes unbearable, and the mind is consumed by distressing thoughts, depression can spiral into suicidal ideation, triggering a dangerous downward spiral. The intensity of suicidal thoughts exacerbates the feeling of hopelessness, which in turn heightens the emotional pain, binding one's life force and deepening the depression. This bound energy manifests in feelings of powerlessness, lack of initiative, and hopelessness, making even simple decisions feel insurmountable.
The key, then, is to gradually release this bound energy and break free from the self-reinforcing cycle through new perspectives. This also involves letting go of a narrow, fixed mindset and instead shifting focus to what could be better. Naturally, this won’t happen overnight—patience and self-compassion are essential as we embark on this healing journey.
In many cases, the suffering we experience is not physical but emotional in nature. Therefore, the solutions must primarily address the emotional level. Emotional pain also affects the body, potentially aggravating existing physical conditions. By focusing on inner healing, we can alleviate both emotional and physical discomfort.
Here you will find several crucial facts regarding suicide:
- Why the Erasure of one’s own Existence is not possible
- How strongly Suicidal Thoughts contribute to suicide
- How to escape the Downward Spiral
I encourage you to carefully read and reflect on these insights. By doing so, you will gain important guidance that can help you make decisions that will support you in navigating this difficult time. Understanding and accepting these facts can provide the clarity needed to take your next steps toward healing and recovery.
Suicide - seen completely differently
Why we cannot determine the desired final end of our existence
A large number of people take their own earthly lives every year. This is usually accompanied by the hope of quickly and effortlessly solving the problems and suffering that seem to be overwhelming, with a brief moment of "self-overcoming." But let's take a closer look, incorporating current scientific findings, to see if this path can actually work.
Admittedly, the thought can be very compelling: I choose one of the many quick, safe, and presumably painless or pain-free methods to take my life. I hope that it will "go black," or more accurately, that I, and my consciousness, will cease to exist, and all the problems that have burdened me will be completely resolved.
However, in most cases, it is also clear: most people do not make the decision to take this very serious step lightly, but they live with the problem that their fate and current life are almost unbearable! When depression, feelings of loneliness and abandonment, or existential crises severely impair one's will to live, when misfortunes completely question the foundation of one's life, or when chronic pain or threatening illnesses seem to offer no perspective, the desire to escape the problems becomes overwhelming. The thought of bringing a permanent end to the suffering in a relatively short moment is certainly very tempting, especially since many people are already suffering from depression and, in that moment, have no idea how to work their way out of the problems.
And yet, in most cases, there is a tremendous internal barrier, a serious inner warning not to take this step! This barrier can only be overcome with force. Does this stem from a survival instinct deep within us? Yes, of course, this plays a major role. But there is also another possibility: Could it not be a warning signal that the hope for a final end, based on very specific assumptions, is simply wrong? That is, the desired suicide will not lead to the expected outcome—that I will no longer exist, and therefore my worries will be gone?
Is the erasure of one’s own existence possible?
Let us now turn to the first question: can we erase our existence and with it our problems? This is, of course, crucial because only if this is possible does suicide make any sense at all!
Naturally, it is not about the body, because once the body is dead, it is obviously gone, but rather about whether I can erase my entire existence, my self-consciousness. Fortunately, this question can be answered! It is not a matter of "faith"; we can progress through logical thinking when we are willing to open ourselves to further insights!
The basic assumptions for the complete erasure of one's life and consciousness would be:
- That only the visible world exists… because in that case, we would indeed be truly dead with the death of the body.
- That the body lives on its own and that our consciousness is only created by brain waves… because in that case, after killing the body, we would also be rid of our consciousness, and with it our problems and suffering; ultimately, our entire existence would be destroyed.
However, we will soon see that these basic assumptions are not correct, and therefore the great desire of suicidal individuals to erase their own life and consciousness cannot come to fruition. The possibility of ending our existence is not available to us due to natural laws!
Why we do not have this possibility will be explained shortly. In the articles on life after death, which will be referred to shortly, the matter is treated in more detail and substantiated. I therefore highly recommend thoroughly working through this topic, as it will also provide an understanding of the meaning of life and the difficulties and problems that may arise in the process.
Scientific Insights
How Research and thousands of Near-Death-Experiences are changing our perception of Dying and Suicide
When examining the consequences of suicide and, more specifically, the subtle physical processes involved in dying through suicide, a purely materialistic perspective quickly falls short. This is self-evident because, on the surface, all we can ascertain is death itself. To gain deeper understanding, we must expand our view, embracing a more holistic and spiritual perspective. However, "spiritual" in this context does not imply mere belief, philosophical speculation, or aesthetic musings detached from reality. Quite the opposite! Modern science—especially the field of thanatology, or the study of death—has significantly advanced our understanding of these profound phenomena.
New Discoveries in Thanatology
Just a few decades ago, notions of life after death were seen as speculative, based purely on faith. For those grappling with suicidal thoughts, the widely held but vague hope of an afterlife offered little tangible reassurance. For some, this uncertainty made the idea of total annihilation upon death appear just as plausible as the belief in continued existence. Often, individuals in despair opted to align with the view that death marks an absolute end.
Fortunately, this has changed dramatically in recent years, thanks to advancements in medicine. Over the past few decades, tens of thousands of patients—particularly in cardiology—have been revived after experiencing clinical death. As a byproduct of these medical achievements, countless individuals have reported astonishing experiences during the state of clinical death, now widely recognized as near-death experiences (NDEs). These accounts spurred a wave of curiosity among medical professionals, leading to the emergence of thanatology as a new scientific field dedicated to exploring such phenomena.
Remarkably, some cases involved individuals recounting verifiable details of events or situations they could not have otherwise known—events confirmed with a degree of credibility that defies explanation by traditional scientific models. These findings have led researchers to conclude that consciousness exists independently of the body and is therefore not bound to it. This marks a scientific breakthrough, challenging the long-held belief that consciousness is tied exclusively to brain function. While many scientists remain skeptical, the weight of this evidence makes it increasingly difficult to dismiss such claims.
The implications for suicide are profound. If consciousness is not bound to the body, then taking one’s own life merely destroys the physical form, leaving the consciousness unaffected.
The Subtle Physical Processes in Suicide
To understand what occurs beyond the brief window of 5–10 minutes, that is possible to be studied by thanatology, we must turn to spiritual knowledge. This is not about "belief" but rather a logical exploration of universal principles.
Death, whether natural or violent (as in suicide), involves the separation of the body and consciousness—a process governed by natural laws. Thanatology has demonstrated the continuity of consciousness after death and illuminated the interplay between life beyond death and the consequences of suicide.
At the core of every human being is their spiritual essence or spirit, which is non-material, unlike the physical body. This can be observed in the unchanging sense of self we experience regardless of age—whether 15 or 90, we feel fundamentally the same, despite the complete exchange of our body’s cells over time. Depression, exhaustion, or illness may cloud this sense of self, but they cannot alter its essence. These burdens, or "slags," weigh down the spirit, impeding its freedom and growth. The term "depression" itself signifies this oppressive weight. To reclaim a fulfilling life, it is essential to gradually release these burdens—a roadmap for which is provided later in this article.
It is crucial to understand that our sense of identity and existence stems not from the body, which is merely a vessel, but from the spirit. Whether we choose to acknowledge this spiritual core is irrelevant—it exists in every individual. Furthermore, no one has the power to dictate the existence or non-existence of this spirit; it is governed by natural law.
Even the strongest conviction in the "finality" of death cannot alter the reality that no one can extinguish their own existence. Those who attempt suicide often find themselves moments later confused to discover that while their physical body is gone, their existence—and with it their challenges—remains unchanged. In fact, these challenges often intensify.
Natural laws governing life after death remain in force, unaffected by the act of suicide. While suicide may sever the visible physical body and its next, finer layer (the astral body), the inner essence—the true self and its sense of identity—remains untouched. However, while the continuation of existence provides some comfort, this does not exempt individuals from facing the consequences of their actions.
Why the pain after suicide often surpasses the pain before
Through suicide, individuals disrupt the natural trajectory of their growth and development. By choosing self-destruction, they evade the responsibilities and challenges they were meant to confront. This leads to profound consequences in the afterlife, often accompanied by intense, painful realizations.
Ingrid Ofner, an Austrian medium who has communicated extensively with those who have passed on, offers poignant insights into this process. In an interview, she explained:
Q: "If life is about growth and learning, what does suicide mean in that context? Do those who die by suicide experience the afterlife differently from those who die naturally?"
OFNER: "Yes. Individuals who take their own lives are often in deeply desperate situations. They want to escape from this situation, they just don't want to be conscious anymore, and after passing over they immediately realise that such an obliteration does not exist. They still experience the same pain, compounded by the awareness of the immense suffering their actions have caused their loved ones. They long to make amends, often lingering near their families to seek forgiveness. Suicide is never part of the divine plan—it always comes too soon..."
For the loved ones left behind, this underscores the importance of releasing feelings of guilt or self-blame. Such emotions only amplify the departed individual’s remorse, complicating their journey forward. Instead, offering compassionate, supportive thoughts can bring healing to all involved.
Is suicide ever a solution?
The fundamental question—"Can suicide solve our problems or provide relief?"—has a clear answer: no. Suicide neither erases consciousness nor resolves pain; it merely magnifies the challenges. It is not an escape but an expansion of the problem. We must seek better, more constructive solutions.
Suicidal Thoughts –
the Power of Suicidal Ideation from a Spiritual Perspective
Let us now turn to the second question: Do suicidal thoughts exert influence, and if so, how powerful are they?
Here we arrive at the heart of the matter—and that is a good thing! For if we know our adversary, we can confront it with precision and purpose.
It is crucial to understand that suicide cannot occur without sufficiently strong corresponding thoughts. Thus, if we succeed in mastering and overcoming our suicidal thoughts, we remove ourselves from the zone of danger!
To put it succinctly: No suicide occurs without suicidal thoughts.
Let us, therefore, examine how thoughts function in the first place:
Thoughts: Neutral Territory or Highly Potent Energetic Constructs?
A common belief is that thoughts are merely the byproduct of brain activity, allowing us to engage with them freely and without consequence.
This view, however, is entirely misguided! And we need not merely "believe" this; we can observe and verify it for ourselves—especially those at risk of suicide, who can quickly discover this truth:
Every individual can experience how any topic they focus on intensely gains increasing momentum, regardless of whether the topic is constructive or harmful.
This applies equally to suicidal thoughts. Those who are at risk will be able to confirm this remarkable fact to a greater or lesser extent: My thoughts frequently revolve around suicide, and the more I dwell on it, the stronger, more powerful, and more dangerous they become—threatening to overwhelm me! This initiates a perilous downward spiral, making it ever harder to escape the grip of such thoughts.
Our free will becomes "flooded" and impaired, making it increasingly difficult to regain control. Eventually, these thoughts exert a dark fascination, creating the illusion of liberation or resolution—an illusion that can lead to suicide but offers no real release.
Moreover, many suicidal individuals grossly misjudge the consequences, imagining a sudden transition or a peaceful descent into unconsciousness, often choosing methods aligned with these misconceptions. Yet this imagined finality does not exist. Even in natural sleep, high levels of activity resume shortly after falling asleep, manifesting as vivid dreams largely inaccessible to waking consciousness.
This phenomenon of thought’s impact is grounded in Universal Laws of Nature. Thoughts, though invisible, are in truth highly potent energetic constructs. They possess a magnetic quality, attracting like to like: envy draws envy, hatred begets hatred, love fosters love, and so on.
Thus, suicidal thoughts also attract and intensify similar thoughts. And this is not limited to one’s own thoughts; we are inherently connected to the like-minded thoughts of others. This collective resonance has led to the formation of problematic thought centers in the subtle, unseen realms—centers that exert powerful influence over us.
This is why those at risk must first and foremost recognize the profound influence of their thoughts! It is the frequent or constant nurturing of suicidal thoughts that turns them into a tangible danger, often culminating in actual suicide. Breaking free from these thoughts and replacing them with constructive ones is the critical first step in any plan to escape suicidal risk.
The strategies to achieve this will be discussed in the final section.
Is Life meaningless and unfair?
Depression and life crises are, at their core, crises of meaning. We struggle to understand why hardship has befallen us, while others seem untouched. This struggle often stems from a lack of clarity about where we come from, our purpose on Earth, and what lies beyond this life.
Typically, we view ourselves as innocent victims of adverse circumstances, as though life’s lottery has dealt us the losing hand.
To overcome this perspective, we must seek understanding: Why has life placed these challenges before us? What are they meant to teach us? What growth do they demand?
In short, the purpose of life on Earth is to transform our countless experiences into meaningful growth, to evolve into conscious beings who can help ourselves and others through our knowledge and abilities. In essence, our journey is one of constructive development. This includes recognizing, reconciling, and resolving mistakes—both from this life and previous ones.
We all enter this world carrying varying degrees of burdens from past lives, which shape the circumstances into which we are born. These challenges provide the opportunities we need to recognize, learn, and grow. Sometimes, this means navigating very difficult personal, familial, or social conditions.
Behind every challenge lies the task of understanding our role in creating our circumstances and discovering their deeper purpose. As we rise to these challenges, we gradually move into a more constructive way of living—one marked by helping and uplifting others rather than criticizing or oppressing them.
The same applies to the more passive characters, who are more common among those at risk of suicide: The challenge involves breaking free from external and internal forms of domination, suppression, and destructive self-criticism. Only by doing so can life take a positive turn, becoming increasingly fulfilling.
The suicidal individual, like everyone else, is ultimately tasked with finding meaning in their suffering and recognizing the necessity of their experiences to grow beyond them. Admittedly, this is difficult at first and demands the development of courage, strength, and perseverance. But as soon as one embarks on this path with sincerity, help of many kinds will appear, enabling the resolution of their difficulties.
Suicide - a roadmap for the exit
The above information provides us with important solutions for avoiding suicidal tendencies. But first, two general notes:
Immediate Danger of Suicide
If there is an immediate risk of suicide, clever advice alone is of no help! Please seek immediate support from a crisis hotline or, better still, from an emergency doctor who can provide immediate assistance. Taking this step demonstrates insight, courage, initiative, and a sense of responsibility.
Health-Related Considerations
Before addressing emotional issues, ensure that no underlying physical problems are being overlooked. For instance, neurotoxins caused by intestinal parasites or a disrupted gut flora are suspected of exacerbating mental health problems. The body and mind often pull each other down. Consult a skilled, holistic physician, as a healthy body forms a valuable foundation for addressing emotional challenges effectively.
A generally healthy lifestyle—with plenty of exercise, a nutritious diet, and a significant reduction in unhealthy habits—also supports the emotional work required to regain balance.
Step 1: Overcoming Suicidal Thoughts
If you are not yet in acute danger but feel yourself heading in that direction, you can still turn the tide with determination! This brings us to an essential point: No matter how difficult it may seem, nothing can be achieved without personal involvement and the resolution to overcome the problem. Assistance can only reach us if we choose to accept it and actively participate. This principle applies to all aspects of life.
The primary adversary, as previously identified, is the immense power of suicidal thoughts. Once we focus on giving them less space and overcoming them, we will have accomplished the most critical step, paving the way for our lives to take a positive turn.
In the beginning, these recurring thoughts may dominate, making life especially difficult. The struggle is not about directly fighting against these thoughts but rather learning to engage with them less and less. A crucial task is recognizing the onset of these thoughts and promptly replacing them with better ones.
In other words: The entire subject of suicide must be removed from our focus as quickly as possible and replaced with something better.
Let us begin with a strategy of overcoming through the analysis of our own situation—not in the sense of depressive brooding over problems or self-pity with the attitude, "I can’t change my situation anyway," but with targeted exploration of quick solutions. Almost always, our problems seem far larger and more insurmountable than they truly are.
Consider the following questions as a starting point:
- What is my main problem?
- Who or what caused it?
- Who or what is preventing me from resolving it as quickly as possible?
- Do the potential benefits of change (e.g., newfound freedom after leaving a terrible job) outweigh the drawbacks (e.g., temporarily less money)?
- Where can I find people who can support and help me?
- For loneliness: Could I connect with others who feel similarly isolated?
- For illness: Can I discover ways to live a more fulfilling life despite my condition, even if it is here on Earth only for a short time?
- For pain: Are there alternative methods, beyond conventional medicine, to alleviate it and enable a better quality of life?
These are just a few examples of questions that can help. Everyone has unique challenges and must find their own solutions.
It is important to accept a solution to these problems, as difficult as it may be, as possible - because in reality it is! Successful people are only doing well because they do not resign themselves to the supposedly insurmountable limitations, but are convinced of their ability to overcome them - and that creates the breakthrough. If we are also able to sincerely ask for God's help, life often takes an unexpected turn for the better. But often this is not so easy. Then go straight to step 2.
Step 2: The three ‘magic remedies’: movement, contact and helping
If we want to get out of the unhealthy brooding of suicidal thoughts, it doesn't work at all if we sit apathetically at home and then quickly brood again. Three valuable remedies help us:
- Exercise in beautiful, unspoilt natural surroundings. It should be strenuous, not a slow, brooding saunter. It's ideal if you can do it with friends.
- Contact and communication. Talking and sharing with friends helps enormously if they are understanding and you are willing to take on board and implement good advice. If you feel lonely, isolated or bullied, it is good to seek out self-help groups or official services with well-trained psychologists. This is always recommended in addition, because even friends are sometimes overwhelmed by the situation and react in ways that are not helpful.
- The best way to get some distance from yourself and your problems is to help! If we consciously and vigilantly look around us in all situations to see where we can provide some help, large or small, to a fellow human being, that is the quickest way to do something really useful, which in turn brings us some energy and even a little joy. So feel free to help in a self-help group so that everyone can feel better! Alternatively, animal or nature conservation, for example, is also a good option.
Step 3: Giving up the victim role
Furthermore, it is important not to see yourself as a helpless victim of an evil world, but to learn as quickly as possible to recognise the scope you do have, which is actually much greater than you initially realise in the situation. With sufficient motivation, it is always possible to break away from destructive life patterns! The same applies to people who are bringing you down: if a constructive discussion with them does not lead to a better result, then a much greater distance is often the best solution! Official or charitable organisations, such as the social or youth welfare office, psychological counselling centres, etc., can often help with this. ‘Strangers’ can be of the greatest help at the beginning because, from their healthy distance, they are often far better able to recognise the suicidal person's problem-solving options than the person themselves or their immediate family!
Step 4: Learning to think in a far-sighted and holistic way
After that, it is extremely important to acquire spiritual and holistic knowledge in order to be able to find a meaningful way forward again. Most life crises are actually crises of meaning: there is a lack of understanding as to why one has ended up in this difficult situation. However, the deeper we penetrate into the laws and workings of fate, the more our own part in it becomes apparent. We will also have to realise that we have persistently overlooked many of life's hints and could have avoided a lot in advance. But as soon as this insight has sufficiently penetrated, we already have the way out right in front of us. We can immediately begin to gradually work our way out of the problems we have created for ourselves and to solve them!
When the cause is self-hatred ...
Many cases of depression and suicide are rooted in self-hatred: at the very core of our being, we no longer feel worthy of existing and want to ‘liberate’ our fellow human beings and the Earth from us. But the mere fact that we are alive here shows that ‘from above’ things are seen differently, and that all cosmic events have a meaning – with the exception of everything that we humans do that goes against the Laws of Nature, through the abuse of our free will!
The cause of this self-hatred often lies in the distant past, that is, in past lives on earth, where we committed wrongdoings or cultivated and maintained wrong attitudes that have not yet been resolved and still needs to be put in order. These mental stresses are present but not directly accessible to our daily consciousness! Our task is to muster the willingness to work off these expiations of the past, which brings liberation and relief and, seen from this perspective, can even be enjoyable. The opportunities to make amends are gradually presented to us by wise fate; we just need to take them with the firm intention that something good should come of it.
Our spiritual core, our spirit, senses the need to rectify past mistakes and omissions and urges us to do so, because it is a Law of Nature that everything must be compensated in the name of justice. The more resistance we offer, the more it weighs on us! That is a result of the Law of Spiritual Gravity. Incidentally, this applies to everyone – everyone has to make amends, everyone has to make up for something. The degree of our willingness to do so is what largely determines whether we feel burdened or good – and the decision is in our hands! As already mentioned, we need to do nothing more than look at everything that comes our way, learn from it and use it in a constructive way, as best we can.
This undervaluation of oneself should therefore be used for inner change, because the driving force behind it is the not yet sufficiently fulfilled urge to develop one's abilities for the benefit of fellow human beings and the whole planet! Then it is even a strong driving force to be able to give one's life a turn towards the useful and the good again. Every person is important and needed – each one in their own particular situation, even if they are at rock bottom. Because other people are sometimes at exactly the same low point and are happy to receive understanding and help! For example, someone who is struggling to work their way out of suicidal thoughts – is there anyone who can understand and help another person at risk of suicide better? Because understanding and acceptance are a good bridge back to life. And if neither of them yet realises what life is good for, then that's just the way it is, but it doesn't have to stay that way! Life has meaning, and if the realisation of this meaning comes later, then we should give him the time he needs to realise it!
The solution is obvious: we must make a firm decision to direct our will towards the good and constructive in the future and to work off everything that still weighs us down! This task is, incidentally, required of all people, not just those at risk of suicide, and the fact that our world is not in a good state proves that far too many are still resisting - to their own misfortune! So let's make the decision to tackle it and do better! --
When others don't ‘function’ as desired
Finally, there are some particularly problematic motivations for having and spreading suicidal thoughts: It is used to exert pressure on one or more fellow human beings in order to pursue selfish goals! Here, the relationship area is probably the most strongly represented, whether it is to forcibly bind a partner who would rather break up due to a lack of harmony in the relationship, or, for example, to achieve special treatment or a position of privilege in the family. If a suicide occurs here, then the person must not only bear their suicide and its consequences on their further journey in the afterlife, but they also still bear responsibility for the others, in whom they have triggered massive feelings of guilt. The same applies if the motivation is to avenge oneself on someone else by committing suicide!
Yes, it is bitter and painful when a relationship, perhaps even one that has lasted many years, has broken down and the partner wants to leave. On the other hand, however, the fact that the partner wants to leave is a clear sign that the harmony necessary for a good relationship is no longer present; if it were still there, none of the parties would think of wanting to leave the relationship. But no one has the right to forcefully bind the other to themselves against their will; it would go against the necessary freedom that every person has and should have!
If there is still a shred of love, trust and respect, then in many cases there is only one way to save the relationship: we have to recognise our own mistakes, which have caused the relationship to falter, and have the sincere will to start working on ourselves immediately, to respect and value our partner again and not take them for granted.
If it is already too late for this relationship, then it is time to accept the inevitable, as millions of other people have to do. Here, too, it is important not to mentally get too caught up in the pain of separation, but to seek new paths and contacts as quickly as possible. It is also good to start working on yourself as soon as possible and trust that a new, fulfilling relationship can then arise. Especially today, when there are an infinite number of divorces and breakups at every age, it is easier than ever to find a new, suitable partner.
Suicide is definitely one of the worst options! --
All knowledge that exceeds the normal level of knowledge here at ‘spiritual-values.com’ is taken from the ‘Grail Message - In the Light of Truth’, which I expressly recommend as a further source. In a few sentences, it also shows the way out in this point, which applies not only to those at risk of suicide, but to all people:
'Therefore become spiritually free! Burst all the fetters that hold you down! If obstacles present themselves welcome them joyfully; for they show you the way to freedom and strength! Look upon them as gifts from which you will benefit, and you will overcome them with ease.
Either such obstacles are put in your way to teach and develop you, in which case you add to the means of your ascent, or they are the reaction to some debt you have incurred, which you can redeem in this way and thus free yourselves. In either case they help you to advance. Therefore set out to meet them with a bold heart, it is for your own good!
It is foolish to talk of reverses of fortune or of trials. Every conflict and every sorrow means progress. Men are thus offered the chance to dispel the shadows of former misdeeds; for not a single farthing can be remitted to the individual, because here also the cycle of the Eternal Laws in the Universe is inflexible. The Creative Father-Will reveals Himself in them, and thereby forgives us and dispels all Darkness.
So clearly and wisely is everything arranged that the minutest swerving from this would have to plunge the world into ruins.
But what of the man who has very much to redeem from former times, must he not then despair, will he not tremble at the thought of the misdeeds he has to atone for?
As soon as he honestly wills he can hopefully and gladly begin with it, free from all worry! For a balance can be brought about by the counter-current of the power of good volition, which like other thought-forms takes life in the spiritual, forging a strong weapon capable of removing every dark burden, every weight, and leading the “ego” towards the Light!'
