Hello my Avalon friends,


There are a lot of you on this forum who have great knowledge about spirituality.

I wanted to ask you about your opinions about this site:

https://www.spiritualresearchfoundation.org/

When, or if, you find time to check it out, I would really like to hear your opinions.

One of the subjects that interests me is difference between cremation and burial from spiritual perspective, and how important or unimportant that is to our spirit.

This site has covered that topic in details. Would you mind sharing some thoughts on this topic?

To me, it looks like these people have combined scientific approach with spiritual wisdom in gathering information's, and that the site have some valuable information's.

Hope to hear your opinions soon :blushing:

Hello XelNaga, In nature almost all living things that die, decay and eventually turn to soil. Best to go by nature design. Cremation is expensive and not natural.

As for the site. Anyone whos name is preceded by titles of importance should be avoided i.e. his holiness.

Hello Bubu,

Yeah, I agree, it is one of the things that turn me off from that site.

So I guess, burial would be the right thing, but without the casket, as that is completely unnatural?

I would say the rapid disposal of flesh is the best bet, and that covering the land with cemeteries is a form of pollution.

It may not affect the spirit much, because what hovers over the body is just a discarded shell, but such shells are among the main plagues to the living. In order for this to make sense, one would have to accept the "two souls" doctrine, which states that man has an animal soul (i. e., the one in the body of concern to orthodox religion) as well as a superior soul, which is intellectual or unrelated to the body. Because these separate after death, it is a question of how many human--animal souls we would like to keep "attached" to us, lowering our function, and prolonging them as a form of undead.

As for the particular site, I don't know. Anyone who comes from an authentic lineage does have some form of "holiness" title, sort of like if someone gets a PhD they expect to be called "Dr." instead of "Mr." If they do not hold a lineage, it is more or less a commercial grab, which is perhaps too common. Humans indeed are graded in ranks of intelligence, much as if you look at angel-ology, they are ranked pretty much the same way. It is inaccurate to say "everyone is divine" or something like that, since many lack connection to the superior soul, essentially, they have no soul. If you go in public, you will encounter soul-less men and women every day. So various terms of spiritual growth simply indicate the weakening of the instinctual or animal soul and the increase of the superior. At some point, this produces a human who is different from an ordinary one in about the same way most of us think we are different from a dog. So, if someone has a title of this nature, the question is whether it is legitimate--means what it's supposed to--or just a handout from a manmade institution, like a 33rd degree Masonic certificate you can get over the weekend.

Just from a quick glance, I would assume that is a Vaisnava site because they present a "path to god" and proceed to call Buddha, god. Speaking as a Buddhist, I would call that inaccurate, and say that Sri Caitanya copied most of our language in the 16th century to formulate this system. So if one follows this, it always boils down to a gigantic "He" who is a person, and comes out little different from a Protestant "personal relationship to Jesus". Most of the other systems lead to a "That" or even a "She", emphasizing it as one's true nature, unlike an earthly person whatsoever. Although a lot of their philosophy is built on the same components, I tend to see these movements as a type of Christian apology wherein they say "Krishna = Christ", which can only be true if stripped of all their earthly and personalized meanings. This mainly comes from bad European translations of Bhagavad Gita, etc., and the yogis have not learned how to use English any better and are somewhat victimized by the translations. Or at least this particular branch is more "deified" and more like any normal orthodox religion than the others are. Yoga is not really a religion, it is a practice.

Yes I normally joke about burial with my children saying " I have a grave design that have a trigger at the bottom. When I am ready to die I will jump and automatically be covered by dirt, that way they wont have a problem with my embalming burial casket and all the craps that makes the funeral services wealthy.

That is an excellent idea, you should make a patent for that :idea:

I can't speak for any other country, but burial in the US is anything but a natural decaying process. Bodies are pumped with formaldehyde type solutions that act as a preservative and then the bodies are placed in coffins that would sometimes take thousands of years to decay. Personally, I find the process abhorrent and would always prefer cremation.

As for which is better spiritually speaking. I suspect it is best to go with that which resonates with you, personally.
