You will have unnecessary stress. These stress can lead to mental distress as well as physical aliments arising from fear , discomfort and delusions

arising from the ability to see beings you're not supposed to see. They are not the average humane like figures.

Like @nicotine has mentioned in another thread , they can appear ranging from normal humans to decapitated , half body , bloody , no limbs..

are you sure you can tahan such things? Once it's activated, there is no guarantee that you can have it  deactivated life would not be the same anymore.

And there is no guarantee that an activation ritual will work. Most masters out there that claim being  able to activate the second sight are all after your money.

No legit deity will do this for you.

It's for you own good. Believe it or not , your take.

there you go natch.. he answered it perfectly.. its part and parcel of achieving enlightenment. Its a "side effects" if you want to put it that way. But to be honest, i dont really like the terms "side effects". I personally believe its part of the journey as i known some "ppl" actually "preach" or talked to sentient beings so "they" can learn and gain merits and enuf merits for rebirth. It is written that only human realms can "learn" and gain enlightenment easily. The other realms requires human intervention like "preaching" to them and stuff. And since "we" are suppose to help "them".. i believe that the 5 special "side effects" are needed. And ability to see them is one of the 5 mentioned. So, i think it is needed. Plus if you need to "communicate" with any of the heavenly being (or hell beings in this case) you will need one of the 5 abilities mentioned anyway. So, why do you "prevent" or shun ppl from achieving it? that where i felt its funny...

The average man on the street is not physically or mentally equipped to deal with ghosts during intermittent encounters, let alone on a constant basis.

Many of these wretched creatures are half-crazed from pain, anger and grief - completely incapable of rational thought and unable to listen to reason, which makes them extremely dangerous.

The job of handling them, be it via preaching, subjugation or whatever, should be left solely to spiritual professionals.

I don't know how many people with the second sight you have encountered who have suffered, sometimes even died, as a result of their affliction.

I have.

Trust me, it's not pretty.

As for the attainment of enlightenment, there are plenty of virtuous, enlightened individuals around who possess no unearthly powers whatsoever, the second sight included.

Most mediums do not have supernatural abilities, nor do they require them to commune with their divine patrons; my teacher certainly didn't.

You do not need the second sight to achieve enlightenment; focus instead on being a good person.

Nachtsider, can help ask Tua Li Ya Pek, does the phrase Amitabha really work?

In Buddhism, uttering this phrase can help end suffering for poor souls and bring them to the "Pure Land" and study Buddhism with Amitabha Buddha.

If the people with third eye are correct, a lot of souls in agony are around us.

So theoretically, if I utter Amitabha 24/7 with sincerity for these suffering souls, will I be salvaging a lot of souls? Does it really work?

If not, in Sintuaism what can I help to alleviate the suffering of those wandering soul?

But but from wikipedia...:
Does it really help?

Haiya, in this thread, we assume Sintuaism is real, and we ask Nachtsider how does other things in the world fit in Sintuaism.

So now I curious how does Buddhism integrates with Sintuaism in terms of the phrase, Amitabha.
