What Happens to Body After Death

There appears to be a surge in inter­est on the sub­ject of “What hap­pens at death,” fol­low­ing the pass­ing of Wal­ter Cronkite, Michael Jack­son, Far­rah Faw­cett and Karl Malden to name the most recent deaths. Sadly, it takes “celebrity deaths” to open our minds to other worlds.

As a stu­dent of the Age­less Wis­dom, I know that the soul does not die and that the phys­i­cal body is the mere repos­i­tory of the man’s “essence.” The soul is the human psy­che, the Spark, trav­el­ing on the path of evo­lu­tion, also known as the “evolv­ing human soul.”

What hap­pens to the phys­i­cal body at death depends on the state of a person’s phys­i­cal, emo­tional and men­tal bod­ies at the time of pass­ing. It is not just the phys­i­cal body that tran­si­tions from the earth plane. Depend­ing on the purity of his three bod­ies (also called ele­men­tals) and his align­ment with the Solar Angel (also known as the Guardian Angel), the human soul trav­els through the vehi­cle (or body) which is most developed.

If the astral (or emo­tional) body is devel­oped, he trav­els to the astral world; if his intu­itional or higher men­tal body is devel­oped, he pen­e­trates into the the Intu­itional Plane.

This is why all great teach­ings, philoso­phies and reli­gions tell us to strive toward per­fec­tion because this is not the real life. Earth is the planet of pain and sor­row where every human soul must pass through before being allowed to travel the higher paths of evolution.

It is only through our ded­i­ca­tion, sac­ri­fice, courage and dar­ing that we are allowed to meet our true Self in higher spheres.

Even­tu­ally, we reach a state where we no longer need our phys­i­cal body but take incar­na­tion through an illu­sory body to serve human­ity. You and your Solar Angel are now one, which is what Christ meant when he spoke of the “mys­ti­cal marriage.”

From the Let­ters of Helena Roerich, Vol. II, p. 441:

To be able to find joy in think­ing about the dear one who has crossed into the bet­ter world is in itself a big spir­i­tual attain­ment. Ver­ily, one may rejoice when the spirit passes over into the Sub­tle World… .

All earthly bonds, spir­i­tual and of the heart are not only pre­served in the Sub­tle World, but even grow more and become more refined. And your calm­ness and joy, in a large mea­sure, arise because dur­ing the night hours your spirit dwells in full com­mu­nion with the one dear to you. …

If peo­ple knew the truth, if they could con­vince them­selves that the moment of death is a moment of great­est bliss for a lumi­nous and striv­ing spirit, the fear of death would for­ever leave them.

I rec­om­mend read­ing Other Worlds by Torkom Saray­dar­ian and avail­able at Ama­zon. This book was a tremen­dous help and source of com­fort when my own father passed away.

From the intro­duc­tion: “The knowl­edge of the Other Worlds will not only help man use his sci­en­tific knowl­edge for the advance­ment and lib­er­a­tion of human­ity, but it will also expand the con­scious­ness of human­ity to such an extent that the present life of man will seem to him a night­mare in com­par­i­son with the new dawn.”
