What is a ghost?
A ghost is just like us.
It is Consciousness, incarnated in separateness,
in a world of things.
A ghost is just like us–
–truly, a physically-disembodied version of us.
A ghost is a displaced soul.
It has so strong attachment to things that,
even after the body dissolved,
it could not let go–
–tied up into things, it could not move on.
A ghost might show itself in terrifying form.
But truly, its form is simply its reflection of suffering.
A ghost is truly, a pitiable being.
Praying is better than screaming and running away.
Pray, not with intent to attack it, or to drive it away;
pray, to light it with love, with compassion,
to ease its pain,
and to help it release itself from its worldly entrapment.
These two days in a row, I saw horror movies at the cinema.
Realizing this, I could enjoy the thrill to the fullest,
but brought no fear outside the show

very very true:
..”A ghost is just like us–
–truly, a physically-disembodied version of us…’
…’It has so strong attachment to things that,
even after the body dissolved,
it could not let go–..’
Very well worded post full of wisdom.
