The years crumble and take from us many lives. We sense ourselves passing through to places we-know-not. And sometimes we are left upon the bleak and inhospitable shore, longing for the best-gone-by. And so we shall reach it upon a sudden day. But sometimes our purpose weakens and with reason, at its weakest point, we seek to destroy the body to release the spirit before its time. We seek to throw aside our life like some discarded pot, in the hope that it will be miraculously transformed into some glazed and beauteous urn by its appearance into another world. But my friend an unfinished pot is of no use to anybody! It must perforce join the heap of broken shards, and the potter will make a new one.
No, by destroying ourselves before our time, we deny ourselves a complete experience. We will find ourselves entering the interlife, the limbo, that realm which we create for ourselves by that same state of mind which despatched us there in the first place. We do not escape, for we do not undergo that completion we call dying. We remain as it were in suspension, and we are just as we were before except that we can more clearly see our folly. All experience, whether good or bad has to be lived through whether in this world or in other dimensions. We are life and cannot avoid being so.
If you feel that you cannot live as you are, and decide to take your chance on oblivion then I’m afraid your efforts will win you little. Please remember that you do not live at one level, but simultaneously at various levels. This life is only obvious to you at the lower conscious level. Life is subject to the Laws of Compensation, so that if you imagine that your burden is insufferable because of sorrow, guilt or frustrations which clog your mind, then you may be assured that at the higher levels of your mind, in the soul-area, all those sorrows and ills are righted and the words you have failed to utter and which stick in your throat will there be uttered.
Life-as-it-is is indeed a precious heritage, this earthly conscious life that you are living. Whatever you may think, you have no choice but to share it. You cannot end it through any pure motive, for by so doing you are removing it from those who need it as much as you do.
Now, having said all that, I tell you that you may discard these words if you wish. You must in the long run judge for yourself the right course to take. I can only give you advice, and it would be entirely wrong for you to take it without question. Use the judgement that comes from deep within and act as you think best.
