Feedback please on beliefs re burial & cremation:
My mother and I were discussing this today and I thought it a good idea to put it to the forum members. If you believe in after-life, what are your thoughts on choice between burial and cremation? Do you feel it makes a difference when connecting with loved ones left behind?
Just an interesting thought that i haven't seen approached before. Looking forward to your feedback. I am neutral regarding this...how about you?
MiBeloved's Response:
It is mostly an issue with the persons who are left behind, as you put it. Actually most people leave this world reluctantly and at the time of dying people usually do not indulge in the fantasy about a great afterlife and so on, simply because their experience at that time is that of a diseased crippled failing physical body.
Usually they do not feel some glorious body at that time and thus they are not thinking that people are left behind. In fact most people think that they are being taken away from this physical world, which was for the most part the center of their life and attention for the previous so many years.
But once the person is separated permanently from a body, and cannot return into it as they usually did after sleeping and dreaming, that person is no longer in a position to worry about whether that dead body is cremated, buried or left in the open for animals for forage.
It is the persons who are left behind in this world, who become concerned about the method of disposal. Usually those persons want that to happen along the lines of their religious beliefs. As for example say a Christian relative who feels that the body needs to be in a coffin to be resurrected by Christ, or a Hindu relative, who feels that the body should go to Gaya in India or to Hardwar, to have the body cremated in a religious ceremony with prayers which are supposed to convey the deceased to the promised land hereafter.
As far as communication goes with that deceased person that happens just as it was happening before when the person was on this side with the exemption of the physical body not being used as an amplifier. Without that person's physical body the persons on this side are left with their intuition and psychic connection with that person. Everything psychological which was that person continues after the physical body dies. And thus there can be communication, though it is psychic only.
The condition of disposal of the physical body of that person does not affect this. It is affected by the way persons on this side focus. If the relatives on this side are mostly physically focused, then there will be little communication but if any have some psychic ability, there can be instant communication.
