In Chinese’s
belief, when a couple is getting married; they are not only legally bound
together but also spiritually. Even just a gesture of going to registrar of
marriages to put down their names, the coupled is believed to have bounded
legally and spiritually. When I say so, I mean that the husband and wife are at
the same time ‘connected’ into the energy web of their partners. Hence whatever
the husband does will also affects the well beings of the wife side.
If this
sounds too complicated, then let me tell you a story of Johnny and his ‘false’
wife:
Johnny was
offered a ‘false’ marriage by a Chinese social escort with rewards of some free
sexual services and money so that the lady can stay in Malaysia. The lady’s
purpose is very simple: to earn money…
One year
later today, Johnny is besieging by court cases and in the verge of being
declared insolvency. He is now barred from travelling abroad and that his
mother is suffering melancholy and she has attempted suicide once. Luckily the
old lady survived falling from 2nd floor but her mental state was
not very stable.
Finally
Johnny ended in front of my door step and wanting to find out the source of his
problems. It was also out of my curiosity that I have agreed to perform a
Taoist service known as ‘travelling to underworld’ (观落阴) to ‘look see, look see’ Johnny’s underworld
home…
According
to Lu Shan Sect view, each person shall have a house in the underworld and by
going into the person’s underworld house; questions of his/her present
situations can be answered and remedied.
So the
following night I performed the prescribed ritual and found that Johnny’s
underworld bedroom was filled with used condoms, other people’s clothing and
rubbish amongst other stuffs. After I had seen enough, I performed the
cleansing ritual and that should hold for a while.
After I
have completed the ‘underworld cleansing’ ritual, I called upon Johnny and
advised him to ‘divorce’ his false wife as every time the lady social escort
having intimacy with other men; rubbish would be dumped into Johnny’s
underworld’s house thus pulling down not only Johnny’s luck, but also all his
siblings’ luck and his mother’s too. If I am to explain in Taoist term, then this
is because each individual person is connected spiritually by an invisible
chord into his family blood line; hence whatever this person does, his/her
ancestors will be affected too. No wonder old folks always advise us to ‘watch
the good name of our forefathers’!
Let’s return
to the story proper… I can only advise Johnny to officially ‘divorce’ his wife
so that further spiritual rubbish can be prevented from continuously being dumped
into his family bloodline. Otherwise Johnny may have bigger headache to come in
near future. This is indeed a lesson learnt because it is true that our legal
world could also affect the spiritual world too…
Dear Arjan Perng,
ReplyDeletethis sounds like serious matter. So even a fake marriage is count
like a spiritual bond. My questions is :
"Are there other cases where one create such a spiritual bond?"
and "Since one can not change others than oneself, how can one help oneself from their deeds (without hurting them or change their decision)that effects because of ones spiritual bond, since one mostly dont know what they do?"
Best regards
Dear InnerKnowledge,
DeleteFor first question:
I supposed when a marriage is 'registered' or recognized then it is considered as having a spiritual bond. In this case, the karma of both parties would affect each other.
I supposed there are no other cases that could create such a spiritual bond... hmm.. for a marriage is meant to have sex 'legally' in all standard religions. The purpose of marriage is to produce offspring hence this is a big affair to a person's ancestors.
For the second question:
There are rituals to change the situation, but by making use of spiritual powers; then one of the party shall leave if there no other compromise can be achieved.
However, if both parties can sit down to discuss and agree upon an agreed direction for the mutual benefit of both; then the problems would be solved. In this case, if a social escort agrees to stop and do something else; then Mr. Johnny's problem would automatically be solved.
Best,
Liew
