A ghostly conversation....

I had lunch at e-gate Tsyuroya Japanese restaurant. It was newly moved from another area to e-gate and my host was two bankers, caroline and derrel from KL. I was with two colleagues of mine and we settle down to order our food. I ordered a few types maki and some main ramen courses to fill our stomach as it was a late lunch.

The lunch started with some light greetings and "thank you for your business stuff" and so on. We turn to the topic of staying in Hotels while we are on business trevel and the weird things that we had encountered. I told carol and derrel that there was a house along green lance which was recently renovated and is still available for rental after a brief rental to a tuition center. The house has glass walls and transparent glass panels and we could see from the front to the back. It is so strange for the house to remained vacant especially it is located in a busy business area and it is nicely done up. I told them that the location was a second hand car sales room. One night, some robbers enter into the premise and rob six very expensive cars and burn the sales manager alive. Finaly, the Police caught the robbers and they were sentence to jail. The house was badly burn and it was to be torn down and rebuild massively with the walls replaced by glass and it was brightly lighten up and hope that this set up could drive the ghost or spirit away. Looks like that the remedial action have failed badly.

I am not advocating that there are ghost in this world. But, sometimes, the things that happen or we feel, bring massive fears to us. Modern studies explains that such feeling is the work of the mind. So, ghost actually the work of the mind. I have several experience of not getting proper sleep in some hotels while travelling. Some encounters let me feel that someone is watching me for the whole night. I advised caroline that if the hotel which we want to stay is fully occupied, we should not insist to get a room. IF we push too hard, the Hotel staff will release those rooms wich is uninhabitable or disturbing.

The unreal became real if our mind is weak and our mood is down. We would start to imagine and our past experience will play a havoc on our mind and " we could frighten our ownself " and become suspicious as if someone is watching over us. We should be the master of our own mind but if our mind takes over, we will become the slave and would not be able to control our thoughts and feelings. If this happens, we should breath heavily three times and slow down our breathing to re-focus and get hold of our awareness.

Namaste.
