The idea of ghosts has come to the forefront of awareness of late, as the energies coming from the planet and the cosmos ramp up and make it exceedingly difficult for everyone to sleep, hold center and put a lid on all the demons that are usually manageable.
Apparitions are a kind of ghost. Or demon.
But what are these ghosts or apparitions? They are the spectres of consciousness arising from the deep subconscious, those tales real or imagined we have lived but somehow have been able to forget or subdue. Yet they are part of us, like a child or pup who is not getting attention.
And so now we are called forth to attend to these shadows, vague imaginings, the wistful longings and the smothered hatreds, wrongs against us - all the lovelies and horrors of our mind.
We all have them. It is obviously impossible to be human and invulnerable to pain and the yearning to be free of it. So we create religion to make sense of it; or art to express it; or substance to mask it. But it is always there, the ghosting, endless stories - the unexplored apparitions of our longing.
