You are gifted with the "3rd eye" & selected by the guardian ?

certain people can see ghosts and talk to ghosts/spirits/gods. Some cant see ghosts...but can 'feel' them. People like me can communicate with them but I cant see them or 'feel' them. When these spirits/ghosts/gods speak to me, they dont speak into my ear...but directly into my head....so no one can hear them but me.

I am not chosen by them to be a Tangki LOL!.

I have helped people who are facing problems in life asked me to ask the gods for direction in their life. If they pray to Lord Ganesh (aka Hindu Elephant God), I will ask Lord Ganesh for them. If they pray to Guan Gong, I will ask Guan Gong for them. After they get the answers from these deities via me, they will know what they need to do.

Yes they gave me ang pao for my help though I didnt ask for any. Most of them directly bank into my bank account as a gesture of appreciation for my time and effort.

Ah well. A rose by any other name, eh? biggrin.gif

Tonight marks the beginning of the Hungry Ghost Festival, everyone. The Gates of Hell open at eleven p.m.; stay safe, have fun and spare a thought for the unfortunate spirits as most of them enjoy what will be their only time of reprieve from the trials and tribulations of the Netherworld.

is the time in hell same as time on earth? will we see our loved ones again in hell before they reincarnate? How long before a person who just passes on is reincarnated?

Man, this forum has been so quiet compared to some years ago.
Hell is most definitely a different time zone, since it is a different plane/universe.
How long it takes for someone to re-incarnate depends on the acts they committed and how long it takes for them to pay their karmic debs in Hell.

I'd also like to add that after death, you get a chance to have an attorney as well.

There is no escaping of your karmic repercussions, but if you have committed misdeeds and charges are laid against you, you would like a defense attorney, right?

This job is fulfilled by family/friends/relatives of the deceased; Which is why we burn joss paper and incense, offer candle lights and food/drinks, etc.

Praying for the deceased can definitely help them in the afterlife.

im not a religious person, and im not doubting the existence of haoxiongdi, and i withnessed it a few years back in a quite playground with no lighting facility , i saw this tyoe of see-saw while we went back from pasar malam, it moved up and down by itself, wind surely cant make it move , then my sister father in law(he was a ji tong) say in funny tone( hey you stop playing la), then the see-saw stopped moving inches by inches and it stopped completely.
thats gave me goosebumps!!!!

my 4 nephews all in their 20's took over the role of burrning joss papers for more than 5 years. They said they will continue to honour this tradition and pass on to their kids later.
