I was chatting
with some friends in education and many of them have Masters: MA, MSc, MBA, ME
etc. and of course one of two has PhD’s. In the midst of our chats, someone
suddenly swayed the conversation to spiritual issues. Now the question is if it
is possible to have a degree of some sort to be offered as: Master Of Applied Spirits
Management?
Personally,
I don’t know if it is worthwhile to give a title of these sorts; but I would
think it would be interesting to have a further research and spirits needs to
be managed methodologically. As the matter of fact, spirits are just like human
beings; they can perform work (within a set of boundaries) if they are managed
well. However, if the spirits are let a strayed in an area, they create
problems to human.
A very
simple example is that a construction site that is prone to work accidents
would see a decline in mishaps after a small shrine for local spirits is set
up. Many religions teach us not to ‘surrender’ to spirits; but I am just ‘managing’
the crowd and never bow to them.
Another
example is that my pal’s business was seen a loss of major customers and he was
worried. But after I advised him to make offerings to the good brothers and
sisters; the business rebounded within a month’s time.
So it is
apparent that when we managed these unseen spiritual forces, they can produce
great work within the local environmental constraints: Feng Shui and positions
of sun and moon etc. Of course, when I mentioned ‘management of spirits’; that
includes also:
·
Choosing
the correct spirits for the right jobs:
o
Taoist
5 ghosts and 5 legionnaire armies are good for businesses that attract crowds:
hotels, casinos, restraints, cinemas, shopping complexes etc.
o
Vietnamese
Ngai spirits are good for watching over properties and attract customers. They
will chase away trouble makers and maintain discipline in a factory or hostel.
Ngai spirits are also good for guarding a plantation or orchard.
o
Mountainous
spirits are good if one is a hiker or he/she need to get close to Mother Nature;
but wild spirits are not so wise in getting fortune for their owners.
·
Controlling
of spirits:
o
The
spirits need to be controlled or they will affect the well beings of human beings.
There are means and ways to check if a person is affected by spirits;
techniques varies with different traditions.
·
Training
of spirits:
o
Spirits
need to be trained and monitored constantly. Some spirits are not so wise and
there are methods to raise their intelligence.
·
Recruitment
of spirits:
o
Like
people, spirits may leave or become weak; they need to be replenished
constantly too.
·
Putting
spirits to work:
o
Spirits
need to be given tasks and the progress should be checked constantly as the
human workers. When good work done, remunerations in the form of food offerings
should be given as our human workers too. Disobedient spirits need to be
exorcised or punished. There is no free lunch.
·
Troubleshooting:
o
At
times, we need to make a call if an incident is caused by spirits or it is just
someone’s mental issues. Also, if things are not working correctly; what
remedial actions to take.
It is
absurd to bring magic practices into academic and confer a degree it may sound,
but the best thing is that you are the judge of your own accomplishments; you
decide when you can graduate! The remunerations would be great too once you
finally feel that you have graduated; there is no worry of unemployment for you
would already be sitting in the seat of a ‘boss’. Think about it.
