You present an excellent answer in return
I have only read book 1 of LOO, so thank you for presenting this part. Perhaps I should read more, but I feel Ra presented their main points in the first book, and that has been enough so far to keep my mind busy!
You present interesting ideas, and I can agree with them. Please note however, that when you placed limitations on yourself for the optimal learning/teaching and servitude in this life, it's possible that one can place an inclination/tendency of suicidal behaviour to explore this concept further. Although we all experience death, and 'live to die' and have suicidal thoughts, there is always the possibility of having this more than the 'average' person.
Also, having a fully negative experience (for example ending in suicide, and utter despair) in this place, could be a massive catalyst for gratitude. We often remember our appreciation of things more when they've been removed from us.
Imagine the feeling of returning to a place of love, after you've had a lifetime of pure negativity. And the memory such a return would imprint! Not easily forgotten!
As for my own suicide, it does seem like it achieved nothing really. The idea of karma does not resonate with me, however. Also that which I outlined above may contradict the matter of that you recieve a karmic bond on 'meaningless' suicides, ie not doing
Thus suicide might be in interest of our 'purpose' here, although quite a selfish interest. But then one is all... and such an experience might be in turn a martyrdom to remind friends higher up of how things can be. Etc... can bend your head around this matter forever

Quote:1. Life's purpose is complete (One aspect, I think, of Don's departure).
2. To aid in the life lesson of another self (I think this was a major part of Don's suicide, in that it created a massive catalyst for Carla that was a life lesson in self forgiveness for her).
3. Martyrdom
