Last moments - their importance for the next incarnation

11/02/2005

All too often, those in the presence of someone who is dying exclaim, ‘Oh, he only has a few hours to live’, convinced that since it is irreversible, the details of the situation no longer matter. On the contrary, the moments that precede death are extremely important, because the incarnation that follows depends a great deal on them. The state of consciousness of the dying in these moments is active in the other world until his next incarnation. You have observed that the state in which you go to sleep acts on you during the night and influences how you wake up the following day. Even when you have had a good day, if you go to bed in a negative state, the next day you will wake up indisposed. On the other hand, even when your day was not so great, if you go to bed with good thoughts and feelings, these last moments will repair everything, brighten everything, and you will wake up the next day in the best of moods. Well, these same laws operate from one life to the next.
