@TiMEoFPoSTiNG There is the ghost as spirit, as citizen of the Territory of the Dead. Ghost as manifestation of justice, of thwarted desire. Ghost as completer of things.

@TiMEoFPoSTiNG And though few stretch the word ghost this far, there is the animating spirit of memory. So powerful in pain or love, that it makes subtle matter dance. Manifests recall ache as tangibility.

@TiMEoFPoSTiNG And we casually label all those creatures of the Ether, all those of the Otherworlds, GHOST. We allow our language to become imprecise rather than push the words to describe those things that register only as disturbance on the usually cognitive cobweb.

@TiMEoFPoSTiNG And there is the ghost of lazy translation. The assumption that churchyard shade of an English village is the same as a ghost of the Avatamsaka Sutra.
