Quote from: Aspiring_Siddha
Mi~beloved, what kind of reactions will this man get after death? Good and bad?
Reactions are complicated because you have to ask which reactions from which person, society, god or God?
Just to say reactions is too general.
For instance: Say that a man leaves a woman. Then that man goes with another woman. What reactions will he get? From the first woman he will get bad reactions more than likely. From the second woman he will get good reactions, probably. From society he might get disapproval all depending on which society it is and what trend is current. From his relatives he might get bad reactions if they were positive with the first woman or good reactions if they find the second woman to be more agreeable to them.
From God or from a god?
Who knows?
When they took somebody to Jesus Christ because she had five husbands, Jesus did not send the woman to hell, even though the society wanted him to do so. When they asked him about marriage in terms of Mosaic Law, Jesus denounced what Moses said about writing a document for divorce. Jesus did not like the idea but felt that once married two people should not separate.
There is no hard and fast rule regarding punishment after death, because it is circumstantial in the astral existence where someone who is the greatest criminal may not be subjected to fitting dire reactions immediately after leaving a body. Usually we want that there be immediate punishment of a bad guy or a guy who insulted or demeaned us in some way, but material nature and god or God may be in no hurry to dish out reactions.
Suppose I did something bad a thousand years ago, why is it that people think that I was punished immediately after. Why it is that I may not be punished a million years hence. The reason is that human beings have this need for closure as they use that term in America today. They want some satisfaction to see the culprit punished right before their very eyes. And this is plain stupid. But it happens because we have this bloated sense of who we are where we feel that everything should be circumspect about us individually, so that everything is absolved to our individual satisfaction, as if we are central to everything.
My first yoga teacher, Arthur Beverford, used to have this statement where he said that there were centers (of circles) everywhere but circumferences nowhere. This means that teach individual is the focus. Actually the reality is that there are centers nowhere and circumferences everywhere we turn. We meet limitation in every direction even though we are progressively and perpetually wanting it to be otherwise, to be as Beverford suggested.
One thing we know for sure is that Bill Gates will again become famous and will again be outstanding no matter where he goes, no matter if he does something desirable or something antisocial. King Nrga was a handsome king and well accomplished and when he was forced into a reptile species, even there he was the most beautiful reptile anywhere.
Gates disenfranchised many businessmen by his production of computers which took away employment from many persons. He also gave opportunity to many other person for employment through computer use skills and coding skills. Those whom he disenfranchise have a grip against him, while the others whom he caused to be employed love him. How should this be settled?
Because his interest in primarily this earth’s history, we can safely assume that he will take rebirth as a human being and will again become famous as an exceptionally intelligent person. So long as his interest is focused down into material existence that will be his the target for the life forms he will take after death.
Like everyone else he will try to evade the responsibility for those whom he disenfranchised. Thus in the afterlife those who are resentful towards him will have difficulty catching up with him just as now they cannot do so because people like him have security. It is not that easy to confront them.
Assuming that his critics have valid gripes, God did not punish him immediately on the physical level for what he did, so we can assume that the same delay may take place on the astral side hereafter so that he might not face bad reactions but might take another physical form without suffering from negative consequences. This does not remove the fly-back energies. They are out there. They will reach him in the future even though it might not be to our immediate satisfaction.
