3D, I always especially enjoy your input. You know your stuff.
From a somewhat more earth-bound, or 3D-bound perspective, my best bet is that suicide is a natural mechanism, in most cases. Of course there is a great variety of reasons that people might do this, many of which may well be an exception to this rule. But it seems to me that our state of affairs is that we think we are separate when we are not. That is, we think we are an isolated self when we are not. Now, when we are at ease or life is going fairly well or whatever, we are relatively okay and maybe not quite so isolated and walled into our limited self. However, with the advent of certain situations, the limited aspect of our being can become quite stark. Add to that all the human gobbledygook having to do with death (which itself is basically because of the whole separate entity thing, too), then there is a point at which a person becomes very isolated and fearful, which is darkness. One could say that, in a sense, they are malfunctioning. Now of course you and I know that there is more to it than that, but in a sense. And so, this malfunctioning existence seeks to end itself. It's almost like a mechanism installed by nature or something. However I don't think this always applies, and certainly I don't think it would in Don's case, since he was actually so involved with the Law of One stuff. Doesn't seem to me like he would have had the same reasons. Anyway, in a way it makes perfect sense. It's like a person becomes much too much a limited self, and so they very naturally begin to long for the ultimate plunge into non-separateness, or non-being, even if they think that it is literally non-being in the sense of the end of their consciousness. It seems for the most part to be natural psychological processes, to me.
As I say, the actuality of it is much more complex and vast than what the point I'm making here, but I do think that this is one way to look at it.
