| To conclude this section may we just add
| |
| | This is the complaint of all mystics
|
| that Newton's subjects emphasize strongly
| |
| | concerning the sons of men. In the Old
|
| that God is never once seen in the higher
| |
| | Testament we read,"Man lies down and
|
| realms, although a strong feeling of a
| |
| | never rises. They rouse not from their
|
| Supreme Power is felt ruling the ongoings

|
| of devachan, or "heaven," and the kinetic
| |
| | so far, it may be surmised that there are
|
| motion of magnetic streams of energy
| |
| | various forms of death, and this is true.
|
| flowing in the atmosphere and
| |

| |
| | "I die daily" (I Cor 15:31). We tabulate
|
| religious beliefs that in heaven one
| |
| | the forms of death in the following:1)
|
| would finally see God face to face--for
| |
| | Death to higher realities and verities2)
|
| while on earth one may not see God's face
| |
| | Death to a higher awareness of divinity3)
|
| and live, one would surely behold God's
| |

| | of the mental formWe will briefly
|
| It reminds us of Gautama Buddha's silence
| |
| | describe each one: death to higher

| when questioned about God--the
| |
| | realities and verities, and the death to

| |
| | higher awareness of divinity are related.
|
| revealing a profound truth to the
| |
| | This is in fact the involutionary path of
|
| initiated.Summarizing the scientific
| |
| | the soul as it descends for the first
|
| viewpoint on death and the
| |
| | time in a new cycle of manifestation, or
|
| afterlife--based on years of careful
| |
| | "manvantara." In involution the soul
|
| psychical, parapsychological
| |
| | loses a certain awareness only to regain
|
| research--the following conclusions have
| |
| | it with an enhancement during the Path of
|
| been reached:1) That humans are
| |
| | Return. Most souls prolong this period of
|
| essentially immaterial in nature and that
| |
| | ignorance and awareness of higher
|
| the human essence, or self-awareness,
| |
| | multidimensional truths by their own
|
| survives physical death.2) That human
| |
| | free-will.Death of one's slumber in
|
| soul-units exist at differentiated levels
| |
| | matter is the awakening of the soul's
|
| of awareness in dimensions beyond the
| |
| | aspiration to spiritual
|
| physical light-spectrum, beyond the reach
| |
| | possibilities--paradoxically, it could
|
| of physical sensory perception.3) That
| |
| | also mean being spiritually unconscious;
|
| contact with departed souls is a possible
| |
| | this is followed by the death, or
|
| feat under certain conditions and
| |
| | transcendence of the false ego and its
|
| circumstances.4) That all human
| |
| | expressions in the movement within the
|
| soul-units periodically re-embody or
| |
| | evolutionary spiral. The death of sleep
|
| reincarnate to continue their
| |
| | occurs every night as the soul takes
|
| evolution.5) That all re-embody according
| |
| | flight to subtle worlds. Death of the
|
| to the law of causation, or karma; or
| |
| | physical and etheric bodies occur when
|
| soul desire.DISCUSSIONSAs we have seen in
| |
| | one leaves the present incarnation for
|
| the previous chapter, death according to
| |
| | the astral world. This is followed by the
|
| the various traditions, metaphysical
| |
| | deaths of the astral and mental forms as
|
| experiences and modern scientific
| |
| | the soul rises higher and higher to rest
|
| discoveries, does not annihilate the
| |
| | for a period in the causal body before
|
| human soul; and relationships formed on
| |
| | preparing to reincarnate.Knowledge of the
|
| the physical plane do not cease at the
| |
| | nature of death and the other worlds are
|
| termination of one's incarnation, as is
| |
| | important subjects for every
|
| normally believed; also, one's
| |
| | metaphysician. As said earlier in this
|
| aspirations, goals and ambitions, though
| |
| | paper, in the course of one's
|
| simply and seemingly cut-short
| |
| | metaphysical ministry, one would often

| further strategic development that would

| bloom in a later incarnation. We have
| |
| | metaphysicians are in a better position

| through the bardo--this ought to be kept
| |
| | those who are left behind. An experience

| | of a loss of a beloved one through the

| descriptions by subjects of NDEs and
| |
| | portals of death on the part of grieving
|
| communications from the beyond concerning

| the death process, we can be assured that

| dying does not have to entail any mental,
| |
| | for the sowing of the seeds of truth into
|
| emotional or physical agony; on the

| actually the present state of awareness
| |

| | CONCLUSIONSIn the Introduction of this
|
| the higher principles and realities do
| |
| | paper we presented the purpose and the
|
| not mean that they do not exist, it is
| |
| | need of why this subject had to be
|
| just that the faculty for higher
| |
| | written and discussed--of the importance
|
| perception has not yet been developed.
| |
| | of its place in the metaphysical ministry
|
| Fear is what closes the veil to spiritual
| |
| | as well as its influence upon the
|
| knowing. When we fear, we circumscribe
| |
| | individual and society as a whole. This
|
| our consciousness. Fear of the unknown,
| |
| | purpose was again stressed in the
|
| is the ignorance of the source of our
| |
| | previous chapter. In order to organize
|
| fear. Identification with mortal
| |
| | our thoughts regarding the subject, we
|
| principles simply perpetuates (or

| | formulated several themes that would be

|
| normal human being--and it also maintains
| |
| | Our fundamental themes consisted of the
|
| one's fears. We are meant to be
| |
| | following:1) The survival of personal
|
| perfect--as advised by the Piscean
| |
| | consciousness2) The process of
|
| Master--perfect in consciousness, in
| |
| | transition3) The nature of life after
|
| knowledge, and in awareness. Attaining
| |
| | so-called deathThe structure of our
|
| immortality, or awareness of such,
| |
| | findings and of this paper, was based
|
| requires the shedding of mortal concepts,
| |
| | upon four perspectives:1) Religion
|
| beliefs, attitudes and feelings. With
| |
| | mythology2) The occult tradition3)
|
| such spiritual labour we gradually build
| |
| | Tibetan Buddhism4) ParapsychologyFrom
|
| the link between the lower and higher
| |
| | each perspective, we initially dealt with
|
| principles and ensure the continuity of
| |
| | the basic themes from a certain point of
|
| consciousness, and the awareness of the
| |
| | view, but ended up with the same
|
| illusory nature of death. With each
| |
| | findings, the same conclusions, and the
|
| extermination of a false concept we
| |
| | same cosmic truths; nevertheless, among
|
| become more alive in a spiritual sense.
| |
| | the above perspectives, there is still
|
| Death, "the last enemy," as declared in
| |
| | much to be said about religion as a whole
|
| scriptures, though inevitable, will be
| |
| | that has somewhat misrepresented the
|
| swallowed up in victory when once its
| |
| | spiritual truths as taught by their
|
| maya-nature is understood and the
| |
| | founders. We are certain, though, that
|
| continuity of consciousness acquired.
| |
| | every metaphysician would research into
|
| Death will then lose its sting. Death
| |
| | this subject sooner or later as it is
|
| ends when once the multidimensionality of
| |
| | mentally and spiritually rewarding. In
|
| one's being is realized, and when once
| |
| | years to come "death" will be a time of
|
| one's liberation from the wheel of
| |
| | celebration and not a time of mourning as
|
| reincarnation is attained. What we call
| |
| | it is now.Finally, in the fifth chapter,
|
| death is an illusion. This is echoed in
| |
| | we discussed on humanity's basic
|
| the words of the Taoist poet, Chuang
| |
| | psychological problem--that of senseless
|
| Tzu:"Birth is not a beginning, death is
| |
| | fear. We have seen how this fear robs man
|
| not an end."Fear simply robs individuals
| |
| | of his or her true life as a divine son
|
| of their physical, emotional, mental and
| |
| | or daughter of God living an abundant
|
| spiritual energies--energies which could

| |
| | soul-investigation, and into the many
|
| non-existence of death and the truth of
| |
