Fitz P. Faustus Posted January 1, 2009 Surely i hope you jest sir, to generalize things as such. All ghosts lie and trick no matter what? That's nearly as bad as saying all catholics rape little boys or jews are always greeding and serve only themselves, with that logic one would have to agree that everyone in the middle east are constantly lusting for the blood of american infidels. oh my favorite; all taoists have bad handwriting and sit around doing nothing but drinking and singing songs. Point is, don't generalize. It makes you sound less intelligent. Talk with 1,000 spirits and then speak of your knowledge, learning is nothing if you never experienced it. I've met a few nice ones in my time by the way. Sure quite a number lie and trick I'll give you that, but most living people do that and we consort with them right?

Starjumper Posted January 1, 2009 Point is, don't generalize. Maybe to him ghosts vs. good spirits are different types of entities? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fitz P. Faustus Posted January 1, 2009 Maybe to him ghosts vs. good spirits are different types of entities? Ah i hadn't thought of that, now i feel like a fool. Thank you for bringing it to my attention at least. i can't get this quote thing to work so i gotta state my opinions for mak tin si through using the old method of "" okay, "Ghost are not good spirits. Ghost is defined in Taoism as "negative hidden energy that you cannot see with your bare eye." It can be a spirit, it can be some bad energy in your mind that makes your greedy or do stupid things, it can be hidden negatives that makes you want to steal. Spirits, as you talk about Yin-spirits, are also not good to cmmunicate with. These are spirits or souls of the dead, they shall not be in this yang-dimension of human, they shall be on their own yin-dimension and on their way to the next life cycle. If you communicate with them or TRY to deal with them, you just make them greedy and not want to let go of this world, so you are stopping them from rebirth or going on in nature. Messing up the nature is not a good idea. Mak Tin si" Never ran into any problems like that with any of them. actually i should post a topic for some of the few i've seen more recently, get some new perspectives on the matter. Only thing i have to say really is that if they weren't here they would be denying the way, which in and of itself is screwing up nature. How can i not talk to them when they have so much knowledge to offer? i don't exactly believe in reincarnation honestly, its a strong possibility that i am open to but in the end i'd rather see it for myself and live life rather than constantly prepare for the next one. not exactly sure which reincarnation we're talking about though so i'm not going to say anything else on the matter.
