A fellow traveller

In my daily work, sometime the chances of bumping into others with spiritual background are often higher than usual.

2 weeks back, I was requested to be in KL to do 2 apartment audits for one of my regular client, Henry’s – (not his real name) sister and cousin brother.

Before hand Henry already briefly told me that his sister’s daughter, who is his niece, Maurice (not her real name) ever since small have the ability to see spirits.

Without thinking much about his niece’s ‘gift’ I went about to do Feng Shui audit for his sister. As I usually educate my client that Feng Shui and spiritual ability is totally 2 different things.

Feng Shui requires study and understanding of Classical Feng Shui principles to audit and also recommend a household or person in their harnessing of favorable Qi from the environment.

After my audit in Henry’s sister apartment, in my casual conversation with them, I asked Henry “When your niece sees or bump into spirits, does it appear in full color, black and white or just plain smoke?” Henry was baffled and he told me he needed to call Maurice or ask her to come back to really give me an answer on this.

Without hesitation, he called up Maurice and within 20 minutes she arrived at Henry’s place. So I was interested to find out whether Maurice have the ability to see spirits or it was through the ability of some other spirit around her.

Maurice told me that she only sees other spirit when she is very ill or fallen sick for some time.  But she told me there is a certain spirit that is with her ever since she is young girl. She is currently in her late 20s. In my conversation with her, I can sense that her ‘teacher’ has arrived and just right beside her.

Master/teacher in our Taoist ‘Fa’ Section terminology meant that a cultivated spirit that is somehow attached to a person, usually they purpose is to help each other make merits in the physical world. Similar to having a spiritual guide.

Not only did I felt her presence, Henry and his wife and sister also felt her teacher’s presence, in which they experience tingling sensation all over their shoulders and arms.  Anyhow I tried to relay some personal experience and experiences of others who have assigned spiritual guide to Maurice, just so she would be relaxed and more adapt to her situation.

Because to her, she may feel that her experience is unusual and at times also quite confusing because she does not know whether she is making up all these internally or really experiencing it. Therefore in my relaying of similar experiences to here, I hope that she can obtain some insights and also help her in her own cultivation.

After our conversation, Henry decided to take me for lunch at a nearby restaurant before sending me to KL Sentral.

During lunch, just to be sure – I have casually asked Maurice, “ Then can you see or know what kind of spirits are around me? Or can you just somehow describe them?”

Maurice said, “ I am not too sure but when I drive here, I have a vision of 2 person, 1 is a male person dressed up in old Tang Dynasty clothing and very polite facial expression and the other one is an animal head with human body”.

When she describe these 2 entities, then I can straight away confirmed she is not suffering from delusion or schizophrenia. Because these 2 teachers usually would be beside me. Therefore she got it all correct.

After the late lunch, we left in quite a hurry because the time was quite tight. When we approach Henry’s car, we were still talking about the conversation I have had with Maurice in the restaurant because all these seems bizarre and out of this world for Henry.

When he pressed his car’s central locking key, only his driver side door lock was open. My side the passenger side did not flip up. He tried several times by pressing his key but it did not flip up. Henry ended up have to go inside his car and manually flip up the lock on my side. He said he never had any problems with his car for so many years. This is the first time.

And after we drove for about 3 minutes, Maurice called up Henry and informed him that one of her teacher did not want to see me go, therefore ask me to mentally say good bye to her teacher.  Now all of these make sense as to why his car door lock fail to open after so many attempts!.

On my train ride to KLIA, I manage to do a brief meditative stabilization and get some clues as to why she have these few cultivating spirits following her. I manage to relay to her what she needs to do and also what her teachers is trying to convey to her. And I have also promptly invited her and her teacher to attend our temple’s opening in September.

Most of the time encounter with the spiritual world is usually stranger than fiction. If this event were not being witness by Henry and his family, most of you reading this would find it very hard to believe including myself.

I have a feeling that our encounter with Maurice’s teacher and ability is just the beginning.
