Rituals - Right and Wrong
when a person's soul leaves the body, he/she is declared dead. After leaving the body, what happens to that soul? what is the condition of that soul? where does it go? in most of all the belief systems there is a custom at 40th day of the death.Why is that ritual performed? Does anyone have anything to say about? please share.

From a previous post: From all that I have read on the subject, the experiences that people have after the death of the physical body vary.

I am not sure what custom you are referring to. Which belief system is this? Peace |
Rituals are how we condition ourselves and how we are conditioned determines what
happens to us after the death of the human body. “If my heart weighs more than a feather then I carry to much weight.” Too much weight may impede soul travel to the greater levels. We condition ourselves with what we say, think, and do, or thoughts, words, and deeds. That is why spiritual surrender, or letting go especially inside, is so important. Rituals are all around us and people assign all sorts of meaning to them. Muslims believe the body should be buried right away, some religions only believe in cremation, etc. Funerals are for the living not the dead, they allow the living to grieve and practice their faith in regards to the afterlife. Rituals hold and important place in this physical creation. Electrons whirl around a nucleus, the moon whirls around the earth, the earth with its sister planets follow a set pattern traveling about the sun, and the entire universe moves in and orderly ritualistic progression. The entire universe is a cosmic dance of life, a ritual keeping contact with all of its parts through the ceremony of ritualistic motion. Even the expression of love is dependant on the ritual of courting or dating, showing signs of affection, etc. We all participate in rituals, in social gatherings, organizations, holidays, anniversaries, etc., are done according to a particular culture. Rituals are performed as a bridge in and attempt to join things together.:smile: |

It’s all belief. And do I imagine your reality forms the view whether as life or death. The 40th day symbolism relates to Jesus ressurection or ascension into heaven so many other belief systems or rituals have created their own understandings of the spirits travels after death. Many of those beliefs relating to 40 day time frame dedicated to the persons travels, from life to other dimensions to their ‘home’.. I hear of people having visitations and seeing the loved one in the family home, so perhaps like us they are letting go, even as they have left their body. Maybe it’s a projection from others beliefs. I’m not sure. Different people have various abilities to tap into the spirit world, so through each piece their seems to be processors still going on even in ones passing. I suppose this would be dependent upon the one who has passed and what they have opened to in their own streams on earth. |
