CHAPTER II
DETACHMENT
…Just as Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
has defined the stages of dying that precede death, there are also stages that
come after the moment of death. One does not attain the wisdom of "the
beyond" by simply having left the body. A long period of adjustment to
this new condition will be necessary. After separation of the two perishable
bodies, one finds oneself in the same basic state of consciousness and
evolution as just before death. The individual retains his or her desires and
beliefs, interests and prejudices, as well as mistaken ideas and religious distortions.
…The following is what the
masters have to say in regard to the separation of those who experienced
worldly power and fame:
Power and fame are two of the greatest obstacles to
overcome because those who have enjoyed them only to die at the pinnacle of
their domination, believe they have lost everything, and they despair at their inability
to continue commanding and manipulating others.
When such individuals arrive in the astral wrapped in
despair at having lost their power, they listen to no one. Time must pass. Gradually,
they are forgotten on earth and supplanted by another powerbroker. Only then do
such souls come out of their denial, for now they see what happens to power and fame once
we die. Usually, the main issue in these cases is that such beings do not
believe in the existence of life after death. Though they may acknowledge that
they are still alive, the darkness in which they find themselves seems to reaffirm
the belief that death is darkness and nothingness.
How many beings find themselves in these conditions? A great
many, and they need the prayers of those still on earth, as prayer energy can
help free them from the pull of earthly vibrations.
Even after a soul’s liberation from the lower astral plane
and its arrival in the spiritual realm, it can continue to be influenced by its
memories of earthly glory.
Returning to the physical world after having experienced
fame is not easy; one must first experience being a “nobody.” This takes a
great deal of courage, which is not acquired quickly, especially when worldly
fame continues, or even increases, after death. Take, for instance, a famous
musician whose music continues to be heard after his death. The vibration of
humanity’s admiration continues to reach that musician and feed his ego,
despite his removal to the world of spirit and his having understood certain
things. He may continue to have an appetite for success. This can be a strong
feeling and not at all easy to overcome. Nonetheless, the desire to move
forward is there, as well and may prove stronger than the desire for more human
glory.
Sometimes a soul such as this decides to return to earth in
order to learn humility. He or she needs to experience extremely precarious
conditions, maybe reincarnating as someone with very limited intelligence or financial
resources, so that he or she can never truly flourish. This occurs when the
call of the Supreme Being is stronger than the soul’s memories of success.
People
who spend their lives controlling those around them tend to suffer greatly
after death, as they can no longer continue dominating others. The problem with
many powerful men is that they continue to try to impose their will from the
astral plane, which keeps them from ascending.
