Leaving Light on Earth

Aging is a natural process. It happens to everyone. However, suffering is optional. That’s the message which is often discussed among the luminous souls. All bodies will definitely grow old. All human bodies will weaken in old age. But suffering is a series of choices which are made by a person since they were young.

Sadly, even though this message is widely known by many people, we can see the tragedy of old age here and there. A friend who is a psychologist in Yogyakarta shared his story, even when his father has died long time ago, but the family members keep blaming the father because soul wounds which the father created for the other family members as a result of divorce.

The last story left a profound lesson, to get divorced is easy. But to heal the soul wounds years later is far from easy. That’s one story of a scar being seen in old age as a result of divorce, there are other touching stories of old people who have incurable diseases in old age, old people who have no one to take good care of them. With such dark stories in old age, there’s a question which arises, where will the soul go in the after death journey?

For every soul who is sensitive enough, long before life will plunge into the abyss of disaster, there are spiritual signs here and there which appear. Unfortunately, the signs were denied for many reasons such as; unreasonable, occultism, mysticism, etc. Such kind of denial usually comes from the friends who are very clever, highly educated and full of confidence.

In a simple but deep message, material success at a young age is similar to a big party. And all parties should be followed by washing the dishes in old age. Divorce, stroke, cancer, insomnia, incurable diseases are some of examples of washing the dishes in old age. In the above story of friend who is a psychologist, even long after the physical body has died family members still keep condemning.

Some spiritual friends who have sensitive souls and who are rich deep inside shared their insights, long before life catastrophes occur, there are spiritual signs like an early warning system which keeps appearing to the surface. A spouse who never tired of getting angry, he or she even threatened someone with divorce, children who start creating a lot of trouble, the quality and quantity of sleep getting worse and worse, some people often have nightmares, without any reasons suddenly something is burning inside, that’s some of the spiritual signs which often appear at the beginning.

Like seeing a speedometer in the car that indicates the engine is beginning to be hot, that’s the right time to calm down the life. Slow down the rhythm of life, learn to lower the material objectives, spend more time with family, take more rest, go to some recreation places, begin the journey of serving the others, that is some of the ways available.

If you are interested in spirituality, it is recommended that you learn meditation, yoga, prayer, worship, and other spiritual practices. Whatever the forms of spiritual practices, it is always advised to select the spiritual practices that calm the mind and make the soul shine. At the same time make spiritual seekers closer to the family and spiritual lights like love, kindness and compassion at the heart of your daily life.

Some young men try to argue by saying that a successful material life, which is done in the right appropriate way, will not be followed by washing the disease in old age. With all respect to the different opinions, honestly it must be clearly noted, that the human body has it’s own limits. The capacity of family to support our material success also has its own limits.

As the driver who exceed the capacity of his cars engine, anyone who grow far above the ability of the body, or above the capacity of family to support, over a matter of time surely they will collapse. For that reason, whenever the personal life and the family life begin to be burning, quickly go back to the middle. Learn to rediscover the beautiful light in the middle which is called inner contentment.

Anyone who grows beautifully in the middle point through a deep sense of self-sufficiency, will not only survive themselves, the family will grow in a beautiful way, but they also will leave behind a beautiful light here on earth. Children who grow up in a healthy way, grandchildren who grow up in a beautiful way, touching examples that someone left behind will be remembered here on earth as a series of lights. “As materials of contemplation, the spiritual body that we transfer from the old body to the new one in the moment of death is habitual energy. Those who have a strong habit of sharing light during their stay here on earth, there’s a probability that they will reincarnate in the realm of light”.
