Discerning the ghosts in hiding' versus manifested ghosts in people
We sit at the edge of our seats when watching a movie like The Exorcism of Emily Rose'. Such violent and obvious ghost manifestations are very visible and show a ghost fully manifested. But is there such a thing as a ghost in hiding' (unmanifest)? This article discusses the two forms of ghost possession, the manifest and unmanifest possession.
Ghosts (demons, devils, negative energies, etc.) though neither visible to the gross eye, nor perceived by the other sense organs, mind and intellect affect all of mankind. The manifestations of distress due to ghosts or negative energies are varied, and can be from a person displaying uncharacteristic behaviour to erratic violent behaviour. Ailments and disorders such as addictions, various physical and psychological illnesses, family problems, business problems etc. can be caused due to possession or manifestation of ghosts.
The meaning of a ghost being manifest' versus being unmanifest'.
A person can be fully possessed by a ghost (demon, devil, negative energy, etc.) and yet both the person and people around him could be completely unaware about it. This is because of the fact that the possessing ghost does not reveal its presence as it knows that once it reveals itself, the person possessed and those around him will seek help and force the ghost out.
In simple words when we say that the particular ghost that has possessed a particular person is unmanifest we mean the ghost has not revealed its presence yet.
And when we say that the particular ghost that has possessed a particular person is manifest we mean that it has revealed itself and its consciousness is to the fore.
When do ghosts manifest themselves?
As a general rule a ghost never likes to manifest unless it is of its own accord. Ghosts manifest on their own accord when:
They are in a comfortable environment which is entrenched in raja-tama. Raja-tama situations include places where people indulge in plotting against society in any form, alcohol, drugs, cigarette smoking, promiscuous sexual behaviour, dimly lit places, loud music etc. In such venues we see people behaving quite different from their normal behaviour, it is actually the ghost manifesting either partially or fully.
A ghost manifests many a time to intimidate, scare or disrupt family life by causing fights etc. Higher level ghosts also manifest when they want to create wider scale destruction through the person that they possess.
