The moment I broach the topic of soul and intuition, some people baulk at it? Okay, so they fancy themselves as being pragmatic and person-of-the-sciences, where seemingly everything can be explained by chemical reactions or by the logic of "being". But then, why deny the fact that I too have had a scientific academic life-pursuit, I too pooh-poohed the idea of soul, after life, intuition etc. until it all happened to me and I was left with no other escape but to go along ....
One of my strongest beliefs thus far, has been of soul-trasnmigration which I should say was tweaked when I was given the book Many Lives Many Masters by Dr. Brian Weiss, by Nupur nearly a decade ago. At that time, I had read it merely as any other book that came heavily recommended. But over the years, I have come to accept it as one of the turning points in my life. The book was even more credible simply because it was written by a well-known psychiatrist, who admitted being sceptical enough for starters to hold on to the manuscipt for 7years before he decided to publish it, for the fear of being scoffed at by his fraternity. But, what started off as apprehension, went on to become, world-wide success because it seemed to reach right into the hearts of millions of people who seemed have similar questions and the theory he propounded seemed to say a lot about what happens when we die or that our past lives have a way of shaping our present! So much "karma" and "rebirth" being merely Hindu beliefs!!!
So what is it about the continuance of souls that I find so intriguing? It may seem morbid to some, when I insist that Death never scared me, it still does not because of the deep-seated belief that the soul moves on to another life-form and we always move in groups of souls through our various lives. Which means, the people I am with today, I have had them in my earlier lives too and will continue to do so in later lives too. I have taught my little son this to believe this too, so that he too may grow without the fear of loss.
So what happens to us when we die? Death may separate our soul from the physical body as we know it now, but it is merely the beginning of a new and probably more interesting journey in self-analysis and a chance to undo the wrongs. It opens the door to a higher form of life. Individual souls build various bodies in different lives to gain experiences and change the path of their actions. This is transmigration of souls.......
Thus if we are to believe that the soul continues ..... then Death does not end a life, it is merely the cessation of the present individual. Life and soul flows on till it reaches the higher planes of the Masters and merges with the eternal. Yes, the organic body is done away with, buried, cremated or fed to the birds as in some cultures.... that is in the belief that in passing the organic body must return to the elements...so the soul may move onto a new organism, yet again...............
stay with that thought..... or read further into it..... it is an amazing belief, pure and transcendent.... because it tells us to believe in this life, do the right by all and then let the soul decide whether it has grown or not...!
for a life of understanding the soul.........
