The repose of those who departed to afterlife


In regard to the theme death, covered last Monday because of All Soul’s Day, there are some individuals who persist on the idea that no-one has ever returned to say if life really continues.

Curious is that Christians believe that and demonstrate their faith by evoking the so-called saints, who are in fact people just like us that once passed here and returned to the spiritual world, once their bodies died. This belief wouldn’t make any sense if life ceased with the corporeal death or if the deads couldn’t come to help us.

Facts, however, have shown us that the soul survives corporeal death and that, since there’s a superior permission, they can communicate with the so-called alives.

The ones who obtain such permission bring us news from the spiritual world, talk about the work they perform and the concerns they have as well as inform us that many are the duties and missions they have, aiming the Universe harmony.

They tell us that their occupation is continuous, but not painful whatsoever, since they aren’t subject of fatigue or needs typical to Earthly life.

So, it’s a mistake to imagine that disincarnated beings are resting, without responsibilities or duties to conduct.

Disincarnated or not, they are in charge of assisting humankind, peoples or individuals development, in a circle of relatively ample or special ideas, being also responsible for the execution of certain tasks.

Some Spirits perform more restrict missions and sometimes more personal or entirely local missions, such as helping ill, agonizing, desperate people or taking care of those who they guide and protect, giving them advices or inspiring them with good thoughts.

There are as many types of missions as there are areas of interest to cover, either in the physical or moral world, and the Spirit evolves depending on the way the task is performed.

Regarding the corporeal world, Spirits are responsible for missions according to the evolution degree in which they are. The superior ones are devote themselves to subjects relevant to the progress. The inferior ones dedicate themselves to material things.

Thus, the happiness of blessed Spirits doesn’t consist of contemplative idleness, which would be an eternal and tedious uselessness. Their responsibilities are defined proportionally to their evolution degree, to the light they emit, their capabilities, expertise and level of trustworthyness they inspire on the Supreme Creator.

But, on the top of the great missions trusted to the Superior Spirits, there are others of certain importance, conceded to Spirits of all categories, implying that each one has its own mission, meaning that all of them have duties to fulfill for the benefit of the neighbor. Therefore, it’s quite a mistake to say: “Rest In Peace”.
