This is a continuation of my previous post – My Theory On Ghost

To start, I would like to say that my following points will mainly be based on my knowledge on Islam teaching. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Let me first define what is ghost in malay culture. Typical examples are as follow

• “Pontianak” – said to be created from pregnant woman killed.
• “Hantu Susu” – once famous, ghostly woman knocking houses asking milk for her newborn
• “Hantu Raya” – said to look alike the owner and is super strong
• “Hantu Tinggi”, “Pocong”, “Hantu Jepun” and many more.

Why do I say, all the defined ghost are not real

• Pregnant woman killed or died is considered in Islam as “Syahid Kecil” (honoured death). There is no way those who “syahid” will become ghost.

• “Seksa / Nikmat Kubur” is a very real thing in Islam. It is supposed to be permanent until the Judgment Day. How come human spirit can haunt the living if they are in “Alam Kubur”. If they were tortured, obviously they cannot get out to haunt you. And if they were blessed with pleasure, why would they want to get out. 🙂

• As mentioned earlier, there is no actual proof that anybody has seen a ghost in their entire life. Stories we heard are almost always about “friend of a friend”. I doubt we can trace back the story to the original person. There are those who claim sensing the presence via voices, shadow etc. I stand by my first theory on this one (please refer to previous post). Jin however is a special case. I will elaborate more on this later.

• If we monitor the ghost stories all around the world. one thing they have in common, no “hantu susu” is found in England or India and no dracula is found in Kuala Pilah or Tapah :). They are all actually cultural. Meaning, it is created only from stories maybe as a joke or to frighten children for them to be more obedient.

• Some argue that maybe they are called by different name in different places. “Pontianak” may be known as vampire in certain place. Still the origin tales of vampire is different from “pontianak”. In addition, if vampire did kill people, we should be able to see bloodless bodies everywhere every now and then right?

Now, let me tell you what is real. Hm…….  maybe later, I try to keep my post short and simple 🙂

FYI, before married, I stayed alone in my house. Quite a big house actually and located about 11km in the estate. A jungle, you know how jungle was supposed to be a very spooky place. I heard lots of ghost stories, some specifically about my house. The funny thing is during my three years staying there, I was never afraid or encounter any spiritual stuff. But whenever I watch ghost movie, I mean the scary one, not the chinese ghost hopping around, I suddenly got goosebump and hearing all sort of things. Only when I watch ghost movie. 🙂 Funny right?

Do you believe in ghost? I am actually fascinated by the idea of another creature, Such as ghost. And I come up with a lot of theories to explain them. Here’s one of them.

Theory 1 – Some People Are Just Extra Sensitive
First of all, this is what I believe. I believe that some people are more sensitive than the rest. These are the kind of people who will usually first noticed any change of mood in the people around them. They also usually can sense when accidents is about to happen. Or maybe suddenly wake up at night time just because somebody step into the room (very quietly).

Theory 2 – Emotion Can Be Projected And Received
Second of all, I believe that whenever we cried, people around us will feel the sadness (eventhough they didn’t even see us crying). Vice versa whenever we are happy, suddenly people around us can detect the happiness. My point is, our emotion is actually transmitted out just like a spreading wave (or aura if you want to call it). And people who is the more sensitive will be able to tune in and share the feeling.

Theory 3 – The Existence Of Ghost (1 + 2 = 3)
I must insist that all my belief stated is totally based on my observation and thought. There is no scientific evidence to support them.

So… whenever a person is murdered or die, usually that will be the most intense emotional state for the person in his entire life. With all that fear and the pain, the person is actually transmitting a very powerful emotion out. So this is my theory. The very strong emotion is so powerful that it was somehow absorbed by the surrounding things at the place, trees, house etc.

The sensitive person we talked about earlier will now go to the place, and somehow absorbed this powerful emotion of fear and pain. He/she will be so overwhelmed by it, feeling the same fear and pain as the person who died.

Pretty much the same concept as dream, our brain will project the fear or try to make sense of the emotion and thus created the so-called ghost. The affected person will now see the ghost as if they are a real being and thus possesion occur.

I hope somebody at least can get what I am meaning to say. Any comments? Or do you have any other insights? Do share. 🙂

No, I haven’t seen a ghost. And I plan not to. I think the scariest ghost stories I ever heard is those from high school. One saying that the student went into the toilet and see an old lady washing clothes. The weirdest thing is that the student did not even feel strange as to why there is an old lady in a boy’s hostel. Brushing his teeth very near to the old lady, he started to see flesh and blood from the clothes. And the old lady is actually looking directly at him. 🙂 I just loved high school. They are so creative!!

Do you know the feeling you had after you return from a 5-days vacation and when you want to start work, you feel exhausted as if the vacation doesn’t do anything for you. The vacation is superb and you do spend all your time relaxing. But still there’s exhaustion the morning you are going to start work. Why?

I have this theory that it is because of our “niat” (intention) in the first place. If we take the day off just to get away from the burden of working, obviously we will be so enjoying the vacation that when we know we have to work, we just hate it. I guess, subconciously we know we were back at square one (working).

Reality is we have to work, so not working is not an option.

My point is to change the “niat” when we took the day off, or even during our weekend. Not to get away from working.. but to energize back the worn off body and mind. For it to become subconciously implanted in our mind, we need to say it out loud

“Tomorrow I’m going to rest so that my mind will be clearer and more focus to do my job the day after. Hopefully then I can do a much much better job and satisfy with it”

Niat is a very powerful tool for us to utilise our subconcious mind. I’ll elaborate on that later.

p.s. : Of course first you need to love doing your job. 🙂

I actually try this theory when the mrs and I went to Langkawi last March. My first time there even though I’m from Kedah. Everything is heavenly. One of my most memorable moment would be when we do snorkelling at Pulau Payar. I saw Nemo hehe. Worth every cents :). Of course we don’t want the vacation to end. Now being a bit more adventurous, we are planning to travel the 14 states of Malaysia every now and then. Can’t wait.

Looking down at that spare tyre of ours, we may be immediately regretting ever looking down. Then we start gathering out inner strength and announce the 1 month program to get back in shape. YES!!! MALAYSIA BOLEH!!! 

Wait a minute! Before all that you need to know these facts. Then you might not be just wasting your time.

1) Minimum time is 30 minutes. If you want to jog, do it at least 30 minutes and above. This is because your body start burning fat ONLY after the first 20 minutes. If you stop before, you were only just strengthening your muscle and no weight loss what so ever. (of course.. it depends on the intensity of your jogging)

2) The Illusion period. The first two weeks of your committed exercise program, you will see a decrease of a few kg immediately. Don’t be too happy just yet, that is just water loss from your body. Keep drinking water to flush all the toxin out.

3) The REAL weight loss. After the two weeks, your body will adapt and any loss is most probably due to your fat loss. Congratulation! keep yourself motivated for there is Fact no. 4 🙂

4) The No Effect Period. Around week 3 and 4, you will see that there is no weight loss at all, even some weight gain. You follow your routine like crazy, even do extra exercise with higher intensity but still you are gaining more weight each day. Don’t be alarmed. For your information, that is your muscle developing. Muscle is always heavier than fat. And thus the weight gain. Just follow your routine and you will see the result in another 2 to 3 weeks.

5) Our body is SUPER Adaptive. Remember that. You started jogging at maybe 3km for 30 minutes. You will returned home feeling like dying (Ehem my experience ya).

In no time, you will feel the work getting easier each day. This is because of your body is already adapted. Increase intensity with more speed and distance. Rule of thumb, if you exercised and you don’t feel anything. Something’s wrong

5 facts for now, oh ya I have to put the Disclaimer – Results will vary with individuals.
