Healing Messages from the Afterlife

THE twin doctrines of Karma (responsibility) and Reincarnation (hope) are keys to freeing us from the dark jungle of ignorance.

These doctrines make sense out of two of humanity’s most persistent puzzles — the purpose of life, and the meaning of death.

Theosophical world messenger H. P. Blavatsky made it clear that the ultimate salvation of humanity lay in a true understanding of these doctrines.

In her Third Letter to the 4th Annual Convention of the American Section of the Theosophical Society she explained: “Learn well the doctrines of Karma and Reincarnation:

“and teach, practice, promulgate that system of life and thought which alone can save the coming races.”

The advent of the new popularization of near death experiences (NDEs) and the reality of the spiritual world they point to, gives us an understanding of Blavatsky’s insistence on the overarching importance of these twin doctrines.

The metaphysical truths underlying cosmogenesis and anthropogenesis followed soon after Isis Unveiled with Blavatsky’s magnum opus, The Secret Doctrine — a universal springboard for the New Age.

Some 125 years later, Theosophy’s light is still brightening the end of the tunnel.

Those who have had a near-death experience have already seen the light — including children, as the noted researcher P.M.H. Atwater reports.

Out-of-body experiences (OBEs) are still the most compelling evidence for the existence of a cognitive self that exists independently from the physical body, and a convincing argument for reincarnation of the same soul from life to life.

Compelling scientific documentation was not available in the early days of Theosophy. See the blog post: Scientists Study Out of Body Experiences.

Frontier sciences are providing more and more experimental results demonstrating the existence of a mind-soul existing beyond the boundaries of physical matter.

Organizations like the Institute of Noetic Sciences are transforming contemporary worldviews on the relationship between consciousness and matter.

 Higher Evolution

Such is the law of love and mercy, says the Key to Theosophy. The omniscient soul, “clothes itself, so to say, with the reflection of the ‘personality’ that was.”

“For the time being, then, the Ego becomes the ideal reflection of the human being it was when last on earth —

“Death comes to our spiritual selves ever
as a deliverer and friend.”

People have wondered why H. P. B. and others “lay so much stress on doctrines like Karma and Reincarnation,” William Q. Judge wrote. It is not only because these ideas are logical and easy to understand, and they “benefit individuals,” he noted, but also because “they furnish a solid foundation for ethics, or all human conduct —

…. they are the very key-notes of the higher evolution of man. Without Karma and Reincarnation, evolution is but a fragment.”

Oscar the Cat

“The scientist in Dr. David Dosa was skeptical when first told that Oscar, an aloof cat kept by a nursing home, regularly predicted patients’ deaths by snuggling alongside them in their final hours,” reported CBS News. Dosa’s doubts eroded “after he and his colleagues tallied about 50 correct calls made by Oscar over five years.”

“The feline’s bizarre talent astounds Dosa,” says CBS News, “but he finds Oscar’s real worth is in his fierce insistence on being present when others turn away from life’s most uncomfortable topic: death.

“People actually were taking great comfort in this idea, that this animal was there and might be there when their loved ones eventually pass,” Dosa said. “He was there when they couldn’t be.”

Ancient Doctrines

“These same concepts were expressed in the Bhagavad-Gita,” Eloise Hart explains in her article Reincarnation and Karma:

“In Krishna’s conversation with his pupil, Arjuna, he said (ch.2:4) — ‘both I and thou have passed through many births … mine are known unto me, but thou knowest not of thine.'” He then assures Arjuna:

‘As a man throweth away old garments and putteth on new, even so the dweller in the body, having quitted its old mortal frames, entereth into others which are new.'”

The Big TOE

Theosophy, has the ultimate “theory of everything” (TOE), and was the dream of Einstein. But Theosophy’s true agenda was not the pushing of abstruse metaphysics on humanity.

If we understand H. P. Blavatsky and her co-worker W. Q. Judge correctly, their main object was restoring the rightful place of the Soul, and establishing a true understanding of consciousness and its states — including the whole of Nature.

A familiar statement in The Secret Doctrine comes to mind: “we men must remember that because we do not perceive any signs — which we can recognise — of consciousness, say, in stones, we have no right to say that no consciousness exists there.”

“There is no such thing as either ‘dead’ or ‘blind’ matter, as there is no ‘Blind’ or ‘Unconscious’ Law. These find no place among the conceptions of Occult philosophy [which] never stops at surface appearances — for it, the noumenal essences have more reality than their objective counterparts.”

“The Upanishads are to the Vedas what the Kabala is to the Jewish Bible,” Blavatsky wrote, and “they treat of and expound the secret and mystic meaning of the Vedic texts.”

“In a few words: They contain the beginning and the end of all human knowledge.”

“They speak of the origin of the Universe, the nature of Deity, and of Spirit and Soul, as also of the metaphysical connection of mind and matter.“

“Out of a Mist“

“That was in my eleventh year,” Carl Jung eagerly admitted to the interviewer’s question, “On my way to school, I stepped out of a mist .. I stepped out of it and knew ‘I am’ — I am what I am.”

When asked about death, if it is an ‘end,’ Jung replied: “and there we are not quite certain, about this end.”

“The world’s great age begins anew,
The golden days return,
The earth doth like a snake renew
Her winter weeds outworn.”

The Ever-living

“LIKE the pure blue sky closely shrouded by thick vapours on a misty day, so is the Astral Light concealed from our physical senses during the hours of our normal daily life. But when, concentrating all our spiritual faculties we succeed, for the time being, in paralyzing their enemy (the physical senses), and the inner man becomes, so to say, distinct from the man of matter — then the action of the ever-living spirit, like a breeze that clears the sky from its obstructing clouds, sweeps away the mist which lies between our normal vision and the Astral Light, and we obtain glimpses into, and of, that Light.”
