just heard this on the news. taking her talent to another realm.
Sad, just sad, but I like your spiritual perspective. Some tragic love stories stay stuck in tragedy. From a Buddhist perspective, she will be back until the work of becoming her true self is done. I'll be on the lookout for that voice to reincarnate.
I, too, believe we come back until we get it right. i was told by someone many years ago that this is my
ninth time back. I'm trying my best to get it right this time.
"getting if right" is not entirely the issue, in my understanding (that is a judgmental sort of term, perhaps more related to Western theologies) - Desire leads us here, back to the material world, and the ground that is ready for us to arrive (a human womb, if we haven't descended, due to our own karma, to lower incarnations) - a womb with it's own history, and karmic impressions that vibrate with ours). And, since desire is a sign of attachment, and non attachment the ideal, desire leads us back. in the case of great masters, like the Dalai Lama, the intention is to relieve the suffering of sentient beings, but is not attached to the results, therefore return, in that case, is a selfless act of compassion.
i studied religions many, many years ago and i'm not really attached to any one religion any more. so i kind of have my own take on all this based on my own experiences. my beliefs probably don't fit in with anyone elses. i do believe becoming detached from results is the key.
