The Truth Behind
War Victims

Ghosts exist and so does hell. However, everything is created by the mind. Depending on what we’ve done in this life or the previous life, we’ll harbor the same atmosphere or expectation when we die. After death, we’ll be frozen into that dimension to which we were habitually accustomed during our lifetime. You may have occasionally come across newspaper or television reports about research on people who died a sudden death, or on those who were killed by soldiers or suddenly lost their lives during war. Apparently they fell into a state of shock as they were not mentally prepared. The silver cord was severed abruptly, totally unexpectedly, so they couldn’t accept it. They seemed to suddenly become frozen in a certain dimension, as though they were trapped inside a box, unable to escape. Therefore, they believed that they were still fighting the battle, still in the army. They continued to shout war cries every day and kill anyone who got in their way. They would see illusions and regard anyone they saw as their enemies. They just continued fighting. Such people who are killed in battle or die all of a sudden are really miserable. Without an enlightened Master, they can never get out of that dimension.

The same thing happens in the case of suicide. The perplexed and agonized feelings a person has at the time of suicide remain after the person is dead. Death can’t liberate one from the suffering, ever! It is just like if we fail to learn well during our youth, we can’t become a learned person when we’re old. So the atmosphere of war is most terrible. Many ghosts can’t get out of their dimension. If, after a very long time, these souls manage to get out of that dimension and be reborn as humans, very often they’re still inclined to live that kind of life, battling and being full of wrath. This world causes great harm to people. So most spiritual practitioners are against wars, but can’t express themselves openly. If they kept protesting, they’d become like revolutionaries, and that could lead to misunderstanding or to them mistakenly being identified as politically motivated. Nevertheless, they are against war in their hearts because it is bad for people. It’s bad whatever the excuse. It’s bad for people; they can’t even die in peace.
