Edgar: What did you do last weekend?

I : I went to the dojang with my parents to attend an ancestral offering chiseong.

Edgar: Ancestral offering chiseong? What's that?

I : It’s a ritual we do for our ancestral spirits in Jeung San Do with lots of food offerings for them.

Edgar: I don't get it. What are ancestral spirits?

I : Ancestral spirits are our ancestors who once lived in this world as human beings. They passed away and became spiritual beings.

Edgar: So, where are they now? At your dojang?

I : Of course not! They live in the world of the spirits. It’s called spirit realm.

Edgar: I've never thought about those things, you know? Ancestors or spirits...So you’re saying that they really exist?

I : Yeah. they really do exist. Scientists found that there’s an “inner person” within our bodies. And it's usually called the ‘astral body’.

Edgar: Then how come I haven’t seen an astral body in my entire 12-year life?

I : You can't. It's not like the physical body. But everybody has it.

Edgar: What? You mean that everyone has physical body and astral body?

I : Exactly! And when you practice meditation everyday, you can open your spiritual eye and see those spirits. In fact, I see one behind you!

Edgar: OMG! That scared me. Don’t do that. I don't want to see spirits.

I : Hahaha. There's nothing to be scared of, Edgar. Spirits are just like human beings without physical body. Besides, you'll become a spirit, too, after you die.

Edgar: I know it’s Halloween but seriously, you should stop.

I : As you wish~
