Thank you for the interesting healing and awareness practice.
It brought up the distinction between a ghost (an echo of less aware consciousness that is closely attached to the physical dimension) and a spirit guide ( a more aware multidimensional intelligence) and the importance of discerning which is which.
It brought up how in somatic healing they speak about the importance of biological completion. The body is haunted by reliving the original trauma until it can feel and visualize avoiding the original event and thereby resetting our body into safety mode. ( so when we discover the ghost's message for us we maybe reimagine the unjust act as a kind and loving interaction to resolve the suffering).
Inviting the possibility of ghosts and spirit realms in general also invites a completely different understanding of time and space. We are opening the door to the notion that we have lived many lifetimes. And the ghostly echoes of our past are a helpful reminder that if we've evolved at all, we have certainly been the perpetrator as much as we've been the victim over thousands of years. We, as much, if not more than they, are the perpetrators of capitalistic and precapitalistic forms of unconscious domination, quite a humbling notion.
I was just sharing with a friend the other day how it’s taking me years to learn that I can be aware of what you’re calling a ghost, and not be ready to fully turn towards it.
I’ve learned to allow it to glimmer along the periphery of my awareness without my fully turning towards it.
Perhaps it takes months for it to move from the sidelines to my full presence and awareness.
And that’s OK.
I’ve stopped having shame about those things I’m not ready to confront, not yet.
I’ve learned to grant myself a lot of space and compassion towards my own fear and readiness to meet what needs tending in my own life.
This embracing of slowness and right-timing has been critical and finally facing what needs to be faced in my own becoming.

I love this. Thank you.
