Suicide

[sea-dove]

I'm wondering if anyone else here has found they suicided in another life? and if so has it had impacts on this lifetime for them.

The other day I became aware I suicided in a lifetime not to long ago (I don't know if it was my last life or not.. it was a time where they had metal buckets so it cant be too long ago). Does anyone know what time period buckets just like this one https://img1.etsystatic.com/000/0/5901951/il_570xN.300401095.jpg was commonly used?

I'm currently wondering if that is having negative impacts on me currently if that energy is coming up for clearing (I often re-experience feelings from my other lifetimes when something comes up to clear so wondering if that energy is currently impacting on me emotionally).

Has anyone else had to deal here had to deal with a reincurring suicide lifetime theme? or with this kind of energy coming up?

I've been trying to date that lifetime. I'm not sure if the bucket was galvanized or not but thinking it probably was by the look unless was made from plated steel?.. the bucket wasn't rusting at all but did look oldish, it certainly wasn't bright and shiny. It was the exact shape of the one I linked.

Apparently galvanized metal use had become common by the second half of 19th century. I'm guess the part of the lifetime I saw was late 1800s to mid 1900s. (though I keep thinking it was earlier then the 1950s.. I feel like it was 1930s or before.. late 1800s). (I may of had one lifetime since that one I suicided in then.. I had a very vivid dream of being in a world war, in the trenches as a man with a mate which quite affected me, I think I died in the trenches). Looks like I may of died youngish twice in a row there from different causes.

History of Galvanising

The recorded history of Galvanising goes back to 1742 when a French chemist named P.J. Malouin, in a presentation to the French Royal Academy, described a method of coating iron by dipping it in molten zinc. In 1836, Stanilaus Tranquille Modeste Sorel, another French chemist, obtained a patent for a means of coating iron with zinc, after first cleaning it with 9% sulfuric acid and fluxing it with ammonium chloride. A British patent for a similar process was granted in 1837. By 1850, the British Galvanising industry was using 10,000 tons of zinc a year for the protection of steel.

I think I should probably try to check out that lifetime and see if I can learn anything from it and what went wrong and why I did as I did. So far I've avoided trying to do so.

Sheet metal though has been around longer

History of sheet steel

Most buildings incorporate sheet steel in some form, such as roofing, window ledges or fittings on chimneys. Even today, these are made by traditional handicraft methods.
Sheet steel is a convenient material that offers great opportunities. The benefits are that it can be used to produce lightweight components and it is easy to form both for roofing and for roof gutters, drain pipes, etc.

Sheet metal roofing was used back in the 16th and 17th centuries, although to a limited extent.

Suicides leave horrible scars on your soul. They can have terrible ramifications on later incarnations.

That being said, there is nothing that Love can't eventually set right.

I concur with this. Suicide results in a greater ego in the next life, and lesser self-awareness. Consequently you attract more unhappiness and misery to yourself, and will have a tendency to create negative scenarios even out of positive situations and scenarios.

Well stated. Total love and awareness can correct and eliminate any scars.

How does it create a greater ego? In what sense?

I would think if anything suicide gives you greater self-awareness as you have been to a place others may not have been.

Considering what I have been through in this life I wouldn't be surprised if I committed suicide at one point in my past lives. But as Shinsoo said love does heal all scars.

When you are killing yourself it is out of a sense of extreme discontentment. You are not happy with the way things are , due to desires and craving which project an ideal scenario which does not match the present one.

But there are many, many,many positives in the world, which the ego does not wish to perceive, gloating mainly on its projected inadequacies and negatives , which are but the projections of the mind or mental world, the result of how we look at things.

The natural state is to be mindful, and live in the moment like a flower, accepting the situation as it is, and bloom.

But the ego thwarts this natural state and state of mindfulness, and strives for self-termination, inaccurately judging that it is inadequate, out of deep unhappiness.

And when you do something under the influence of a certain desire or feeling, you intensify that desire within you.

With stronger desires and cravings, the ego too gets stronger.

The soul which had destroyed its body ahead of its natural time, will actually experience more restlessness and unhappiness , which strengthens the ego further. Greater the ego, lesser the self-awareness/mindfulness and vice versa.

I have this feeling that there is courage in you. And pain or suffering nourishes courage if you tackle it with a positive attitude instead of giving in.

You will get all kinds of answers to this question, depending on who you ask, and which perspective they are coming from. I'm Hindu, and in Hinduism we believe in karma. Suicide is not sanctioned in any religion, but this is something I've looked into pretty carefully.

My husband was terminally ill, and suffering at the end of his illness. He did kill himself near the end, mainly, I believe, to spare my son and I watching him deteriorate to a near vegetative state. So this is something, as I said, I have really looked into. In Hinduism, basically, from what I've found out, if you commit suicide, any karma you worked off in this life will just be voided. Meaning, if you did any good deeds to work off past bad deeds, they don't count. You don't gain "horrible scars" on your soul, you don't incur more suffering on future lives, etc.

And, I'm sorry, that makes so much more sense to me than anything else! If you commit suicide, you do so because you see no other alternative! It means you were desperate, you were suffering in such a horrible way that the only alternative to you was to end your life. You should not have something else heaped upon you. I think this is the most sensible, and humane, answer. I can't believe any reasonable God would want any more suffering to be added to any you might have had that would have made you want to end your life.

Ajay00 I mostly agree with you, though I am seeing it from a slightly different angle but I get what you mean yes.

[oldasthesea]

In my point of view, suicide is not an option i learned that. When you suicide you sure have problems in that life and you want to run away, but that does not solve a thing. It is only get worst, the problems you had in your previews life will come to you in the next exactly the same way. You don´t get rid of it.

It sure leave big scars on your soul.

Thanks for sharing that interesting different view. Sorry to hear you and your family went through this.

This situation brings up an interesting point. Do those who suicide to try to do something good eg in this case to protect child and wife from having to go through more pain watching. Do others here think at all the consequences of doing it for that reason, be different to say doing it due to depression or not wanting to be here? Could there ever be some good in a suicide?

...

Do people here generally believe it also scars a soul who was about to die soon? so just bringing that event forward? Does a person only days from death from serious illness, still got lessons to probably learn? .. would suicide still be a very bad thing in that situation?
