THE BODY IS JUST A VEHICLE FOR OUR SOUL
What is the purpose of life?
This material world that we all live in is only a temporary place for us to learn and evolve. Life is a workbook where each page and chapter has various precious lessons for us to learn from and experience. Through this great journey we can raise our awareness, evolve and discover genuine happiness. Then we can share what we have attained, help others, our society and the world.
Where do I come from?
Before we were born, we lived in the heavenly world full of
happiness, harmony and freedom. We all make a life plan suited
to our soul training and choose appropriate parents on earth
to be born.
Then we
forget our
soul’s
Memories
to begin life
afresh in
this world.
What happens at the end of life?
Everybody must eventually leave this world. But what is beyond
the veils of death? The truth is: death is not the end but just a
beginning to life in the ‘Real World.’ At the end of our life,
we go to the spirit world and continue to live there
as spiritual beings – we have a life review and discover what kind of person we truly were. From here, we proceed to an
appropriate place to continue our soul’s
evolution. This world is the ‘Real World.’
Even though we are born with a physical body, in reality, we are spiritual beings. The body is just a vehicle for the purpose of soul training. We are eternal beings and travelers in life with a divine-nature.
The Fourfold Path is the basic core-teaching of Happy Science: the principles of
love
wisdom
self-reflection
progress
It is a proven method that leads us to a state of genuine happiness.
The ‘Real World’ is multi-dimensional. Human spirits exist from the 4th dimension
to the 9th, with each having different qualities. There is a realm for the good,
for leaders, for angels, for masters and even for saviours. To increase our soul’s
evolution further, we need to experience life on earth again through the cycle
of reincarnation.
