RE: Psychology Addict # 33 | Visits from Lost Loved Ones & Out-of-Body Experiences
Many people in my country believe so much in the spirits of the dead. They are regarded as the "ancestors." Usually, during festivities, there are libations poured in their honour. Some attribute the out of body experiences as something to do with the supernatural and may find it a tough pill to swallow to hear it is just their brains playing tricks on them.
Same in my country Green. Although, over there, rather than "ancestors" they are regarded as "guides". There is a beautiful ritual that takes places every New Year's eve, when just as the clock strikes midnight, people place all kinds of gifts in the sea, for Yemanjá, a water deity. I myself have done it many times. I used to gift her white flowers :)
Also, as skeptical as I might be, I never thought it was for me to persuade people against their faith. Particularly when it brings them comfort, meaning and purpose 😊 Plus, what do I know anyway?
Have a wonderful week Green!
Yeah, I agree no one should take away whatever makes anyone happy. My weekend is just hours to be over. I wish it's still Friday's evening.
