I understand the common origins of some myths and religions, but, from a metaphysical perspective, I don't understand why ghost/spirits behaviours and form (and powers) varies so much from one country to another. It's not the same everywhere, even Koreans and chinese chamans admit Japan is cursed with some powerful and weird entities, and paranormal experiences are more hardcore over there, what I don't understand is how matter and energy interact because it seems like the nomos, the culture, the land matters A LOT, and ghost can't travel, it's like they are bound to the landIdk if my question makes senseI'm esl srry
Geography do be changing the experience
>>43187071Culture colors perspective more than anyone is comfortable to admit. This is one of the driving reasons behind globalism. If you can force everyone to adopt the same perception of reality through a shared global culture, maybe you can end perceptual based disagreement and misunderstanding, hopefully leading to an end to war.This entire idea is misguided however.
Japan/Asian people in general are more exotic than other cultures from our western perspective. That or they're time travelers whose whole cities ended up here somehow
Because they live like a human do and just like human, some are smarter than the other, some are richer, etc
>>43187946>f you can force everyone to adopt the same perception of reality through a shared global culture, maybe you can end perceptual based disagreement and misunderstanding, hopefully leading to an end to war.lol lmao, you and I both know that is not a reason why they want to enforce globalism
>>43187071>A LOT, and ghost can't travel, it's like they are bound to the landYes, that is literally a thing; ghosts and spiritual entities are quite literally bound to the land and specific places. You have Gods of a specific lake or tree, or a ghost haunting a specific mansion because they died there, and so on. That is a very first basic thing you need to understand when learning about these things.>>43189470>That or they're time travelers whose whole cities ended up here somehowThat is also not wrong. Many gods or "spirits" do come from different dimensions, parallel earths or the future.
>>43187071It’s the same everywhere it’s just worded differently.
>>43191170Not wrong, many of the myths and legends do share a lot of commonality or similar traits, just with a variation because spirits are also different based on the region they inhabit. Just like you have many cultures where humans are beign guided and taught wisdom by serpent or dragon god.
If you actually look into the origins of japanese monsters alot and I mean a LOT of them start as something like, "artist read a chinese description of a foreign animal and tried to draw it entirely from imagination". There's also ones that come from garbled descriptions of other races such as the ainu being the origin of the oni or the tengu being an order of chinese esoteric buddhists(the long/large nose has a long history in chinese buddhist art of wandering monks). Descriptions also change over time, for example the kappa was initially some sort of aquatic ape(a racial caricature of Portuguese sailors). Turning into the turtle frog thing later after the jesuits started coming with the boats
>>43191634this posts glows in the dark
You know how a child imagines what being an adult is like, how they basically treat adults as gods?All religious interpretation spawns from the same thing. A child that has convinced itself it's an adult imagining what it's like to be grown up.Some of you might actually get what I'm saying here. It's not bullshit. What you mistake for limitation is constraint. If you can manage to recognize you literally are the deity you worship without losing your mind to megalomania, you actually see how fucking shockingly normal and obvious it really is.
>>43191676You really are a fucking glowfag, trying to desperately delegitimise the idea of supernatural. But tough luck, because I am a seeker of truth.
>>43191720Continue projecting your own ability to ignore constraints onto the supernatural. Pretending that you aren't the one delegitimizing it by infantilizing your own ability to use it is definitely going to give you the truth.
>>43191743Your demoralisation tactics do not work on me. I see through your lies.
>>43191793They want you to keep believing in ghosts and fantasy because you're controllable that way. You think that to demystify the supernatural is to destroy it. You make the very truth you seek inherently impossible, always out of reach, because you refuse to engage with truth itself.They don't need glowies to control you. Hiding behind fantasy is exactly where they want you. It keeps you passive, powerless, convinced you are "seeking". Learn the constraints, master reality, and you become uncontrollable.
>>43191665I'm sorry that treating japan like an actual place with a history and culture offends you.
>>43187946If you can turn every organ of the body into a kidney or a stomach, you can stop all illness!
>>43187071It's because Japan got nuked. The radiation mutated all their ghosts into stronger forms.
>>43191170This is bullshit even the abrahamic beliefs fight with each other over who has the true covenant of Yahweh like golem over the ring. Perenialist oneness slop is a mistake.
