::::When the shit happens mate, it'll not be a laughing matter to u or your family anymore. Who u gonna call? The police? The priest or mental institute then? Are u aware or ask yourself why a month-long religious event called the 'Hungry Ghost Festival' (See also 'A study of the Taoist Ghost Festival in Singapore' done by SPI previously) is being celebrated annually here & widely in the region for centuries? For a 'month break', the Petas (or 'ghosts' in Pali), return to our human realm to visit their loved ones, old haunts etc. As such, there's an increased spate of reported sightings (Yes, it was reported in our Chinese & English newspapers previously. Even sightings of British & Allied soldiers at historic battle sites, who were killed or executed during WWII, were reported or compiled into a book u mentioned in our previous discussion) esp by those who possessed the 'Third Eye' ability or individuals who are spiritual advanced in their training now, or courtesy of their past lives i.e. former serious lay practitioners, religious teachers such as monks or nun. Man, it's really disturbing seeing these 'extra folks' in our midst, with their frightening visage & behaviour, hanging around at places when n u least expected, & worse, u got to shrugged it off as though everything is normal! When their 'holiday' is up, some refused to leave & ended up as wandering spirits living (or haunting) among our midst! Some may even 'lumber' with u for quite a while due to past karmic link - maybe former buddies, close relatives, or your worst nightmares, enemies! - even in your own bedroom or washroom! (horrors!!) If u are aware of their 'presence' somehow, how'll u feel & act then? Namo Amituofo
