Don't Change the Bus Half Way !

This incident happened about 2 months ago. One evening Jack and Penny (not their real name) decided to visit us, as Penny told my wife that Jack have something that he needs to tell me. Jack had been seeing shadows moving in his house for the past few days on that week itself. And he was asking me “Do you think it is my dad?”

How it all started is that when I was auditing their house about 6 months back, I noticed that the room his dad use to sleep was filled with a presence. The air is not moving even though the windows are open. So when I had a chance to meet up with Penny about a few months later, I have asked her to go to any temple that does bardo deliverance and submit Jack’s father name to it. Because I have a feeling that the father is still in the house.

Of course I did not mention to them that there is a spirit in the house when I did their Feng Shui audit, because Feng Shui and spiritual work does not mix or the client would be confused. After the bardo deliverance was completed, Jack was having this conversation with me about seeing shadows. So I promised him I would check it out for him. In my meditative stabilization, I saw a man wearing a western suit coming down from staircase in his home. I ask him “Why are you here?” and his reply was “This is my home”. I then ask why he does not go to the ancestral tablet area. He said “Nobody invited me.”

The next day, I gave Jack a call and ask him that when his father pass-away, did he wear a western suit. He thought for a while and confirmed it (not many Chinese in Malaysia wore a suit on their last day). I suggest to him 2 choices,


1. It is to do bardo deliverance again for the father, this time he has to attend to it personally.
2. To invite the father onto the ancestral tablet area.

Finally he decided for option 2. And after the ceremony, he no longer sees shadows moving in his house.

Why did we have this incident? It is because before his dad pass away, he use to pray to Taoist deities. But when he had a terminal illness, they decide to ask him to switch religion. That is the usual problem, because if all these while the person is associated with one religion, when they pass away, usually their subconscious will seek for the association with that religion for them to cross over.

If you change their religion nearing their exit time, they have no strong subconscious ties with the new religion that they have just embrace. Therefore they are stuck in physical plain unable to cross over.

Love your loved one dearly to allow them to choose their own religion. We have no right to choose it for them.
