A friend recently disclosed to us how her mother’s house had suddenly become haunted by ghostly beings. It didn’t take long before their presence became intolerable. Various solutions were considered, and different “experts” were consulted, among them a priest, a questor (who tried to determine who the spirits were) and a medium (who elicited messages from the entities).
The messages were analyzed for their authenticity, and rituals were performed. The priest initially drove out the unwanted “guests,” but the disturbances recurred. After hearing the stories, here’s the advice given to our friend:
Indeed, there are different living forms and spirit souls taking different forms. Ghosts have no physical bodies.
Not all of those entities are evil. Some ghosts are just too attached to a particular place and thus prefer to linger. They make their presence felt, but they don’t intend to create trouble.
Ghosts can make their presence felt, but they can’t physically harm people because they don’t possess a material body. However, they can cause agitation or fear.
People seek protection from such entities, but they fail to turn to our Real Protector, the Supreme Entity who controls all living beings. We can do this by paying more attention to our Dearest Friend.
The solution is not to fight the different elements of darkness, like anger, ignorance, weakness and fear. He can fight our troubles for us.
The Holy Names of the Supreme are powerful. Chant them, and keep them in your heart and mind—because they offer real protection!
