Just like God likes attention , worship, honor, and faith, so do the deceased appreciate a loving gesture, veneration, and good intentions .
How do you feel about Mormons baptising the dead? Or Christians in their churches praying for the souls of non-believers?
True, I don't speak for all of them.People are individuals. You can't speak for "the dead" as a unit like that.
Nothing like that. I have analyzed my thoughts and my situation. Clear thinking brings one happiness.Oh, that is rare... .fortunate you! You have been blessed. What a gift!
Yeah, people like to think that they will be remembered and honored even after their deaths. That is the idea of ancestor worship, but these are old traditions forgotten/likely to be forgotten in future. I perform ancestor worship (Shrāddha), though I know I would not be remembered by my progeny. I do not mind it. Things change, change is the only constant in the world.Just like God likes attention , worship, honor, and faith, so do the deceased appreciate a loving gesture, veneration, and good intentions .
I'm a spiritist.My view,
You call yourself Pagan and Catholic but you seem to show little true understanding of these traditions and the ideas and rituals around death. So what are you?
I'm aware that my practices may cause more harm than good so I'm careful. All I know, is that the all-nighters I pulled at cemeteries were better than what I expected. The deceased speak to my heart and imagination and sometimes I could visibly see them as misty vapor.In every main culture there is always also counter culture. Larger traditions are generally based on accepted views and sane behavior, where counter culture people do all kind of weird things and go against the grain. The people in them are deviants with different longings. They are different, go against the grain, but want to be accepted as equal. That is the contradiction. They go against main stream ideas and behavior, but want acceptance for their own. Satanism is nice example of such a counter culture. It is has an Abrahamic background, but goes against core ideas.
I think what you are doing is actually harmful for
1 - yourself
2 - people that follow your example
3 - the people in the neighborhoud
4 - spirits on their journey
5 - the familiy of the spirits
In my view, your understanding of the subject is severely lacking and you are full of dangerously simplistic ideas. Sorry but to me you come across as a self-kicker and a sensationalist, a vlogger from the cemetery. That seems to be enough on social media to get a lot of likes these days.
I am not even going to explain you why I think this, because the less sensationalists know about spirits the better. It makes them only more dangerous when they mix more truth and facts in their fabrications.
I really wonder. What is the deal here? You want followers to mess up their mind so they can be healed through your church “exorcism” and brought into the fold like you? That would be absolutely ruthless. Alas, unsane religious fanatics are also part of the counter culture and people do well to stay away from them. You have Christian and Christian. One is sane and the other is not, even if they use the same label.
Personally I would never trust a guy with your credentials, especially when he goes raving about God. Some Christians like to make it believe, when a guy mixes in “God” in his fabrications then it suddenly is all legit and we have to believe him. That is the "seal of truth", because evil people do not do that, they are all atheists. Like Dracula they are afraid of the cross.
In reality the most dangerous people often live in all kind of weird religious delusions often based on their own interpretation of scripture. Nearly all Serial killers have a fundamentalist background and tie their murders in with their perceived relationship with God. When people mix weird behavior and ideas in with God and feel protected or sanctified, then you want to stay as far away as possible from them, even more if they have a criminal and mental institutional record.
When they manipulate your emotions with stories that make you sob, run even harder!
