Andrea, a member of our Channeling Erik family, graciously shared this thought-provoking information about the Akashic Records and Suicide. Many of us have lost loved ones to suicide. Some have contemplated suicide. Regardless of where you are or where you’ve been on the topic, I think you’ll find great meaning in what follows.

New from the Akashic Records of Death and Dying

What happens to someone when they commit suicide?  Is it considered a sin in Records?  Does the person’s soul return immediately to complete what they left behind?

The act of suicide has different consequences for different people, though there is one dynamic that applies to everyone.  This is the fact that suicide does not create resolution.  If you think of a human life as one section of a much longer journey of the soul, then the things you are working with in your life have a purpose that ultimately will lead you to light.  If a person commits suicide, they halt the process of returning to light and resolving the current issues, thereby requiring that they begin work on the same issues by incarnating into a new life where those issues and challenges will be present.   Suicide, itself, never provides a completion or resolution of the issues.  It simply offers you an opportunity to experience them in a new form with your next life.

The element of sin does not really exist in the Records, though we could say that the only sin you ever commit is to feel something other than love for yourself.  This includes the choice to feel something other than love for someone other than yourself, for ultimately you are all connected.  The only “sin” involved in committing suicide is that the act is inherently a denial of the wisdom of your soul.  Your soul can manifest a situation that will cause your death exactly when you have truly completed what you came into your life to accomplish.  If you choose suicide, you mistakenly act as if your human mind, and all its feelings, knows better than your higher soul.  This is the reason that suicide always leads back to the same challenges, just approached from a new lifetime.

It is important to know that every time someone dies, their soul has the opportunity to decide whether they will move into a new incarnation, into a different form of spirit, or into pure Light.  When a person commits suicide, they succeed in dying only if their soul agrees to come into another incarnation with the same challenges and issues.  Otherwise, the suicide attempt will be unsuccessful.

Suicide in and of itself is an interesting experience.  Many souls decide to experience it as a unique form of the transition that occurs in dying.  Some souls set themselves up to a lifetime that will lead to suicide so they can have this experience and learn from it.  On its own, suicide does not cause any harm to the soul – is simply creates the requirement that you return to finish what you began in the lifetime.

Remember, all souls have free will and all souls are ultimately omniscient and omnipotent.  If you are alive, you can trust that your higher self with all the wisdom in the universe has decided you still have a reason to be alive.  That reason will become apparent at some point.  Trust the wisdom of your higher self and the possibility to experience more love and light in this lifetime.  All of you are alive now because you are, in one way or anther, making room for more light in this world.  Look for that light and follow it.  (July 2010)

    Hello,

    A very interesting read. I hate to admit, but I have been down the road of suicide more times than I would have liked to seen happen. But funny enough, there is always some force or something that steps in and screws it up. So all I can say is I must have some pretty good guardian angels watching over me.

    The truth is, no one WANTS to die. They just want whatever pain they are in to stop. That’s the thing to really know about suicide. Everyone has a different tollerance level for pain, be it emotional or physical. But no one WANTS to die, they just want help.

      Too true Stanley. I remember one of the readers said that everyone commits suicide. (Was that you, Skoshi?) We always choose our exit points. But if we’re not at our predetermined exit point, most of us are just asking for help or perhaps longing for help that we think we’ll never get. After Erik died, there were many times I contemplated suicide very seriously. In fact, I can say without a doubt that I would be long gone from this earthly plane had it not been for the love I have for my family and friends. But I didn’t really want help. In my case, I just wanted to be reunited with my son. In Erik’s case, he had all the help he needed and it wasn’t enough to heal his pain. He just wanted relief. So I’ll say that people probably commit or contemplate suicide for several reasons: A call for help, relief from suffering (physical or emotional), missing loved ones on the other side, to teach or learn about loss, or just to add that mode of death to the list of experiences that soul needs to evolve.

    Thanks Andrea and Elisa for this information.
    To me it’s not only clarifying what happens when someone is commiting suicide. But it also explains why I sometimes thought about suicide, despite an inner conviction that I never would be able to do it.
    Particularly the last paragraph is giving me more confidence in the future.
    For me it really is true: “the reason to be alive, will become apparent at some point”.
    I think what really is important to open your self and ask for help!
    That’s why “Asking Erik” is helping so many people. Reading all the special stories people share, is giving so much hope. It has given me the courage to come forward and ask Erik my question.

    Thanks for all the heartwarming reactions and the information about the dragonflies. I’m grateful to have such a “family”

    I never believed in “sin,” but I do love the statement that the closest thing to “sin” is not loving ourselves and others. We have to look at others as an extension of ourselves no matter how much our personalities don’t click or how different we are from each other. Also, it was very interesting to read that suicide is the mind and its thoughts taking precedence over our higher soul. That makes so much sense. Thank you, Andrea and Elisa for this insightful post!! Xo Ingrid

    That definitely resonated with me. It’s pretty similar to other things I’ve read about suicide. Some sources say that suicide, though, sets us back pretty far karmically, like murder or abusing others would.

    Hi, everyone. It wasn’t me who said “everyone commits suicide,” but essentially that’s true, because we all choose our exit point/time/means. Most do not choose consciously in this fettered life, but previously in the planning stage with our guides. Though sometimes our guides tell us they think we’re biting off more than we can chew. If we decide to ignore their advice and go forward with BIG challenges, they do not stop us. It is not their place to make our decisions.

    I seriously considered suicide a number of times too. I’ve died often because of the heart defects, but always come around. Then I had the stroke. I was bedridden, in continuous pain, and my muscles were degenerating from lack of use. I thought, “geesh! too bad I didn’t stay dead the times I died!” Dying was ALWAYS easy and painless. I would have committed suicide, but I knew, one way or the other, my son would have to deal with the results, and I didn’t want to put him through that.

    Elisa, obviously your family and we all need you. I bet when you’re a youngster of 68 (only 5 years older than I am now) and you have the possibility of leaving, you’ll say, I would miss my granddaughter’s kisses and hugs! I’d better stick around another 20 years. AND you may have even more grandchildren by then. My grandson was just away for 2 weeks visiting his other grandparents, and when I saw him yesterday, a dozen times he just spontaneously said, I love you Yaya, and gave me lots of hugs. Priceless!

    You may find interesting…I think it was in one of Delores Cannon’s books, but it might have been one of Newton’s…I read that when we exit the fettered lives, some of us have been so emotionally beaten up that we are exhausted, and our energy looks “scattered”. It’s supposed to be nice and tight, bright, smooth, strong. I was given a vision of a “beaten up” energy once; it once…it kind of looked like a ball of steel wool that had been roughly used…coming apart. So when we transition, our energy is soothed, tightened, and…I can only describe it as “plumped up”. We get a lot of loving treatment over there…we’re given all the help we’re willing to accept.

    The Buddhists say there is no permanent self. I understand it that they’re not saying we cease to exist but as meaning we are ALWAYS growning and changing. It’s like that saying that you can never step into the same river twice, because the water is always flowing and what is getting carried along in the water is always different. Sure, there’s a thread of consistency, but we’re ALWAYS growing, and hopefully, always improving. It’s that way in the unfettered life too. Erik isn’t the same as when he arrived (can you imagine what the poor boy’s energy looked like?), and by the time he’s ready to come back here, if he does, he won’t be the same as when he left here or when he arrived there. He’ll be the “Improved Erik.” Erik2.0! LOL. Still with a great sense of humor, I hope! : D

      What a great comment! I’ve read about energy healing in the afterlife in some of the Newton books. It’s supposed to be amazing. I wonder if this was part of Erik’s therapy?

  • Skoshi

    I think there’s no end of questions we’d like Erik to answer! : D
