What we have discussed so far provides us with important possible solutions for escaping the risk of suicide. But first two general points:

If you are not yet acutely suicidal but are on the way there, you can still turn the tide yourself with a little willpower! This brings us to an important point: as difficult as it may be ... without your own co-operation, without the decision to get out of the problem, nothing works. Help will then not reach us! So let's allow ourselves to be helped and actively participate as best we can. This applies to all situations in life!

We have already discovered and discussed the main enemy: the great power of suicidal thoughts! If we concentrate on giving them less and less space and overcoming them, we have achieved the most important thing and our lives can take a turn for the better again!

Of course, these habitual thoughts always come to the foreground, especially in the early days, and make life difficult for us. This is where we have to fight, but the battle is not to keep fighting the suicidal thoughts themselves, but to learn to deal with them less and less! A very important task is to always be aware of the onset of these thoughts and to immediately replace them with better ones.

In other words, the whole topic of suicide needs to be taken out of our focus as quickly as possible and something meaningful put into it instead!

Let's start with the overcoming strategy: analysing our own situation. But not in the manner of depressive brooding over our problems or bemoaning ourselves along the lines of: "I can't change anything about my situation anyway", but with a view to finding quick solutions! Our problems almost always seem much bigger and more unsolvable than they really are!

The following questions can help us:

But if we want to get out of the unhealthy brooding of suicidal thoughts, it won't work at all if we sit apathetically at home and then quickly go back to brooding. Three valuable tools can help us:  

It is also important not to see yourself as a helpless victim of an evil environment, but to learn as quickly as possible to see your own room for improvement, which in reality is far greater than it initially seems in the situation. It is always possible to break away from destructive life patterns if you are sufficiently motivated! The same applies to people who pull you down: If a constructive confrontation with them does not lead to a better outcome, a far greater distance is often the best solution! Official or charitable agencies, e.g. social services or youth welfare offices, psychological counselling centres, etc. can often help. Especially "strangers" can be the greatest help at the beginning, because from their healthy distance they can often recognise the suicidal person's problem-solving options far better than the person themselves or their nearest relatives!

At this step it is very important to acquire spiritual, holistic knowledge in order to be able to find a meaningful path again. Most life crises are in fact crises of meaning: there is a lack of understanding as to why we have got into this difficult situation. However, the deeper we delve into the laws and principles of fate, the more we realise our own part in it. We will also have to realise that we have stubbornly overlooked many of life's beckoning signs and could have avoided many problems in advance. But as soon as this realisation has dawned on us, we have the way out right in front of us. We can immediately start to work our way out of the problems that we have created and solve them step by step! - -

Many depressions and suicides are based on self-hatred: in the depths of one's being, one no longer feels worthy of being allowed to exist at all and wants to "free" fellow human beings and the earth from oneself. But the very fact that we live here shows that this is seen differently from "above", from the "light", and everything that happens in the cosmos has a purpose - with the exception of everything that we humans do against the laws of nature by abusing our free will!

The cause of this self-hatred often lies in the distant past, i.e. in previous lives on earth, where we committed misdeeds or cultivated and maintained wrong attitudes that have not yet been rectified and therefore still need to be equalised. These emotional burdens are present, but are not directly accessible to our daily consciousness ! Our task here is to be prepared to work through these atonements of the past and thus balance them out, which brings liberation and relief and, from this point of view, can even bring joy. The opportunities to make good are brought to us step by step by wise destiny - we just need to grab them with the firm intention that something good should come out of it.

Our spiritual core senses the need to rectify past mistakes and omissions and pushes; because it is a natural law that everything must be balanced out of justice. The more resistance we put up against this, the greater the burden it places on us! Incidentally, this applies to all people - everyone has to make amends, everyone has to compensate. The degree to which we are willing to do this determines very much whether we feel burdened or good - and the decision is in our hands! As already mentioned, we need do nothing more than look at everything that comes our way, learn our lessons from it and utilise it in an uplifting way as best we can.

This self-unappreciation should therefore be used for inner conversion, because the driving force behind it is the not yet sufficiently fulfilled desire to develop our abilities for the benefit of our fellow human beings and the entire planet! Then it is even a strong driving force to be able to give your life a turn towards the useful and good again. Everyone is important and is needed - everyone in the place where they are at the moment, even if they feel they are at their lowest ebb. Because other people are sometimes at exactly the same low point and are happy to receive understanding and help! For example, anyone who is struggling to work their way out of suicidal thoughts - can there be anyone who can better understand and help another suicidal person? Because understanding and acceptance is a good bridge back to life. And if neither of them understand what life is supposed to be good for, then so be it, but it doesn't have to stay that way! Life has meaning, and if the realisation of this meaning comes later, then let's give it the time it needs!

So the way out is obvious: let's make a firm decision to channel our will in future in the direction of the good and constructive and equalize step by step everything that still burdens us! Incidentally, this task is 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 it - to their own misfortune! So let's resolve to tackle it and make it better! --

 

Finally, particularly problematic and unattractive motivations for fostering and spreading suicidal thoughts need to be addressed: It is intended to exert psychological pressure on one or more fellow human beings in order to pursue selfish goals! The relationship area is probably the most strongly represented here, whether it is to forcibly bind a partner who would prefer to leave due to a lack of harmony in the relationship, or, for example, to achieve special treatment or priority in the family. If suicide occurs in this case, the person must not only compensate for their suicide and its consequences on their further path in the afterlife, but they also share responsibility for the others in whom they have triggered massive feelings of guilt. The same applies if the motivation is to take revenge on another person by committing suicide!

Yes, it is bitter and painful when a relationship - perhaps even a long-standing one - has come to an end and the partner wants to break away. On the other hand, this request by the partner also clearly proves that the harmony necessary for a good relationship is no longer there, because if it were still there, none of the parties involved would have the idea of wanting to leave the relationship. However, nobody has the right to forcibly bind the other person to themselves against their will; it would contradict the necessary freedom that every person may and should have!

If there is still some love, trust and respect left, in many cases the relationship can be rescued in a single way: We must recognise our mistakes that caused our relationship to fail and have the serious will to start working on ourselves immediately, to show respect and appreciation for our partner again and not take them for granted.

However, if it is already too late for this relationship, it is important to come to terms with the break-up, as many millions of other people have to do. Here, too, it is important not to exaggerate the pain of separation in your thoughts , but to look for new ways and contacts as quickly as possible. It is also a good idea to start working on yourself as soon as possible and trust that a new, fulfilling relationship can then develop again.  

Especially today, when there are so many divorces and separations at all ages, it is easier than ever to find a new, suitable partner.

Suicide is certainly one of the worst options! --

All knowledge that goes beyond 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 valuable, continuing source. On this point, too, it shows in a few sentences the way out, which applies not only to those at risk of suicide, but to all people:

Would you like to help this website reach even more people?

The spiritual content listed here is very difficult to find, even on the boundless Internet, as the basics are generally unknown. Knowledge about the connections between man and creation can provide support, orientation and perspective, precisely what is lacking today and what countless people are sorely missing!

I run this site altruistically with a high financial and labour input, which naturally reaches its limits at some point. At the moment, many thousands of people visit spirituelle-werte.de, the original German site, every month, but a large proportion of them can only be reached via paid adverts, as they would otherwise not be able to find many topics. The competition from other websites is simply too great. Therefore, any help is very welcome.

If the content of this site has given you something, I would be very pleased if you could support it so that its radius can be extended even further. 100% of your donation will be used for advertising so that new readers can also be reached in English-speaking countries. I am happy about every smaller or larger amount that you can donate here. Thank you very much!
