The Universe Beyond Science: My Spiritual Journey

Earth is a School

I've been questioning the purpose of existence ever since. Why do I have to wake up too early to go to school? Why do I even have to do this, do that? Why people have to get sick and die? Why people kill each other? For me, the whole existence doesn't make sense at all. 

One time I had a dream. A monster was chasing me. I was too tired running and hiding and for some reasons, he always finds me. I reached the end of the cliff and I had nowhere to go. I thought to myself, if this monster catches me and eat me, I think it will be too painful and I was too terrified to even get close to it so I jumped on the cliff and I woke up. Agghh! It's just a dream.

I realized, after reading the book Autobiography of a Yogi, life on earth is just like a dream, a very long dream. Or a play or a movie. And we are the main characters of our own movie. Our death is like waking up to reality. Then we come back again to play another role, different gender, nationality, experience and lessons. Whatever happens to the physical body, the soul remains unscathed. The only way to stop this birth-death-rebirth cycle is to reach the highest enlightenment which is through meditation. This is common to Yogis. They experience this rainbow body where the physical body will just dissolve into the light and vanish on thin air. Their soul will go back to the Source who is GOD. They don't need to undergo the same cycle of rebirth-death.

Some enlightened Yogis absorbs the karmas of their devotees thus they die with illness and they chose to become a spiritual guide after death.

I read that, we ourselves, planned our own journey here on earth. We pick our gender, parents, nationality and what kind of experiences we want to have.  Once we enter the physical body, we forget everything. Some remembers it but only few. The only way to know our true purpose is to follow our intuition, our heart.

We are not alone in this journey. Each of us has our own spirit guide following us, guiding and helping us wherever we go. All we need to do is acknowledge their presence and talk to them and ask for help. They are very much willing to help us. They really intervene with us most of the time. If you're meditating regularly, you can hear them easily. They send signals, signs. They communicate through telepathy. They help with our decision making and it's all for our own good.

I have a friend who can see them. They mostly stand around 9ft or taller. When she wakes up in the morning she can see her guide sitting on the edge of her bed. At first she got startled but she's used to it now. They follow us everywhere, even in the bathroom LOL. But they are spirit, they think and feel differently than us. They only feel love.

So what is the main reason why we come here on earth? 

We starts our learning experience in the comfort of our home. For sure, everyone is aware, it is seldom for the family to be perfect. Siblings quarrel most of the time. Or one among the children is kinda problematic. Or the Father or the Mother don't get along well or with their kids. In this scenario alone, there are lessons that can be learned. Patience, acceptance or unconditional love and so forth.

Then the child grow up and go to school. The learning leveled up. He has to learn to deal with strangers, to study hard etc.

For me, marriage is like taking a masteral degree. All the challenges of life will be experienced here.

Most of my friends are now married with kids. One of them told me, "You know what, I think you're good on your own. Marriage is too much." I understand why she said that because I am aware on what's going with her married life. 

I just find it funny that the rest of my friends don't even question me why I am still single. I chat with them once in a while and they told me lots of things about their struggles and sacrifices and even complained about getting 4 hours of sleep everyday since they got married.

All these experiences, good and bad, the only main purpose of this is for the development/evolvement of our SOULS, which is the only one that is eternal. Everything here on earth are just temporary and won't even matter in the end when we die. 

What matters are what we did and what we learned from it.
