(Q) How does suicide affect the individual soul who commits it?
(A) This is no different an exit from your plane than any other manner of death. This, as others, is a physical action manifested from the thoughts and stress that persist on one’s mind. These can be overcome, and if not, there are many counseling sessions and advisements when that spirit returns home so that they can understand what torment they felt they were experiencing. Often times this is a young soul, not many human life experiences, and this is something they must overcome in order to continue learning in the lifetimes of humans. This is no more or less negative or positive than any other action taken on the earth plane. Trial and error, education does not always come quickly, learning by doing. Living the life is how we come to understand and know it. Self-inflicted death only returns you home, but know that you will leave again to live in a human form once information has been passed to you so that you can again experience those same conditions and allow yourself to grow. You choose these things in your path. You can overcome them. There is no cheating and giving of more information in an attempt to stave off suicide in the next lifetime for not much about the energy existence is at first readily available to you when you return. There are some ideas and knowledge that is in harmony with all beings who are not completely engulfed in nonsensical ideas on the physical plane, those who have greater information of spirit or those who involved themselves in it may also see it as a tool for overcoming what they fear are overwhelming circumstances, which are only situations to provide a specific circumstance for that soul’s development and to experience that certain set of situations.

(Q) Can suicide be a lesson for individuals who are associated with the soul that committed suicide?
(A) Yes, but more often it is a lesson for those spirits close to that particular entity. This is a lesson in understanding and helping them to cope. As parents, they have had direct contribution to the circumstances now presenting in a suicidal person’s mind. They, as a group, must overcome these things and restore love. Though it is also quite possible that the soul in question overcome these things alone and learn to live without a certain support system, for we in human form are only responsible for our own development. We can help others, but no one can make you come along the trail. There is a loss experienced when a life is taken by one’s own control and that experience can be for those left in the workings of that lifetime. There are many possibilities where watchers and teachers and observers can intervene but if a soul is so traumatized that it cannot continue and is not adjusting to the human form or its experiences, then it will be permitted and lessons in which that spirit may have brought lessons to others will still take place but by other means. Simply juvenile problems that cause suicides are no less important or traumatic than those causes which others may also seem important. The overall problem is lack of understanding of this entrapment in a human form for learning because of the forgetting of one’s true existence.
