Phyical death and spiritual death meanings

By Victor M Fontane

What humanity fears most, consciously or unconsciously, is physical death, as they have learned that it represents the end of everything they know, desire, and love. Although some religions promise immortality if certain rules dictated by a supposed higher being are obeyed, or conversely, an eternity of pain and suffering if they are disobeyed, the person spends their life in fear.

Ancient spiritual traditions, philosophy, and science have shown that death is merely a construct of the mind and that human divine consciousness is the continuation of a cosmic rhythm and never ceases to exist.

Therefore, each reincarnation, guided by karma or the consequences of human actions, is a valuable opportunity to advance in our spiritual evolution, unless the accumulated negative karma is cleared. Furthermore, in each incarnation, we create new karma, adding new seeds to the point of halting that evolution.

As a result of accumulated negative karma, human divine consciousness is so corrupted that it can face what is called spiritual death. Here, all divine attributes dissolve, and consciousness returns to the primitive atomic level to begin evolving from scratch through all material and immaterial levels.

Therefore, each incarnation is a very valuable opportunity to advance on our spiritual path.
