IMMORTALITY.... ETERNITY.... SUICIDE
The question of immortality.... the concept of Eternity....cannot be comprehended by man, because he can understand nothing beyond earthly concepts. Neither can man be given a spiritual explanation that is adequate to their understanding. Only on entering the Light spheres an explanation to same extent can be given. Even then it remains a mystery because the Everlasting Divinity can never be comprehended. This has to be said in order to understand the following:
In times of great spiritual need people are inclined to believe that they can put an end to their lives at will, and with that, an end to their existence. Because they believe they exist only for a certain time, they feel that they are so justified and able to shorten their existence. They do not understand the concepts of immortality, endless time and eternity. It cannot be proven to them that their existence will never end, and it is more tolerable to believe that it will end same day. Those people are from time to time uneasy about the thoughts of the end of this age, but they would rather dwell on these thoughts than to think about life after death. They see everything on this Earth as perishable and will not therefore believe in an imperishable "Self". So it is impossible to explain the concept "Eternal" to them.
The thought that something that is close to them shall never have an end bothers them and arouses a feeling of responsibility in them. They will look upon life quite differently when they reckon with a continual existence. So those who consciously deny life after death will not be averse to making an end of their earthly life. They do not think of the consequences if their understanding is wrong. What they destroy is only the exterior form, but not life itself. Life must continue without interruption, because it cannot be destroyed, neither on Earth nor in the beyond. It is in the true sense of the Word of Eternal duration. To bring an end to it is not possible because the Creator Himself has created that being and whatever is Divine in its primal substance cannot perish.
And so the Creator has in His Wisdom ordained that there is no time limit for the being to reach his state of perfection. In Eternity he can strive upwards, be continually active, and give as he receives for the everlasting Divinity is inexhaustible.
The concept of "Eternity" is so little understood by man, neither can immortality be explained to him because on Earth there is nothing that is imperishable. The immortality of the soul cannot be proved but has to be believed in. Also, man cannot fathom the concept "Eternity" with his intellect, such an attempt can never be successful, because it cannot be proved neither is there any earthly comparison. Man will only accept as Truth that which has conclusive evidence. So, again there remains only faith. Man must believe what cannot be proven, and the immortality of the being through all Eternity transcends all comprehension.
AMEN
