Words

I've been asking and responding to questions in Lisa Williams forum in her paid membership area. Its been great and I'm making friends! :)

Its just this thing came up about what to call ghosts! So far there are three terms most seem to use and all of which are correct.

Ghosts, Spirits and Energy.

I don't think a word really changes what you are referring to or what is happening around you. I found this interesting because I've studied Zen and Dao. And both talk about words not really being able to tell you what something is.
Like an Apple. The word itself gives you a picture and lets you talk about the item. What it doesn't tell you is the taste of the apple, it doesn't tell you without extra words if its a green apple or red or yellow. Even if you use the brand name like Macintosh, it doesn't tell you its size other than a general idea.
So words lack a lot in telling us things with the chance to discuss things at the same time. It reminds me that in talking there is always listening because words require someone else to have words too! If you only talk, you won't understand what is truly being said unless its you talking to yourself.
