Journey of Souls: Case Studies of Life Between Lives (Michael Newton's Journey of Souls Book 1)

by Michael Newton

Dr. N: Why are you going to see Clodees now? S: I am going to have to make some kind of . . . accounting . . . of myself. We go through this after all my lives, but this time I’m really in the soup. Dr. N: Why? S: Because I killed myself. Dr. N: When a person dies by suicide on Earth, does this mean they will receive some sort of punishment as a spirit? S: No, no, there is no such thing here as punishment—that’s an Earth condition. Clodees will be disappointed that I bailed out early and didn’t have the courage to face my difficulties. By choosing to die as I did means I have to come back later and deal with the same thing all over again in a different life. I just wasted a lot of time by checking out early. Dr. N: So, no one will condemn you for dying by suicide? S: (reflects for a moment) Well, my friends won’t give me any pats on the back either. I feel sadness at what I did. Note: This is the usual spiritual attitude toward suicide, but I want to add that those who escape from chronic physical pain or almost total incapacity on Earth by killing themselves feel no remorse as souls. Their guides and friends also have a more accepting view toward this motivation for suicide.
