Chapter 8. The Making of a Seiðman 226<br />
From a physical/ materlistic point of view getting and maintaining relationships<br />
is of great benefit to the individual. In this way new job opportunities, and opportunities<br />
to make money, come. When I need a hand with moving or cutting down<br />
a large tree, good freinds are handy. The ghosts who came to me and particularly<br />
the Little Red Man have showed me a completely different view of what a human<br />
is, however. These are views of what a human actually looks like behind the scenes.<br />
One ghost showed me how a human really does not exist as an individual being.<br />
He showed med me a large net which extends out infinitely in all directions.<br />
“A human is really little more than a small knot in this large net. See?<br />
Here you are (he points). When I move this string or this one which is near<br />
you, your knot-position becomes immediatly affected. “If I move this one (a<br />
little further away), you are still severely affected, but it is difficult for you<br />
to see the actual path of relationship between this event and yourself. This<br />
relationship is more difficult for a person to understand. Worked out, though,<br />
it is still a logical turn of events. “If I move this one here (much further away)<br />
you are only slightly affected, but your neighbors are more so affected. You<br />
have no way of understanding this relationship between the original event and<br />
youself besides it becomes really complex when one of your neighbors responds<br />
inappropriately. See? It’s good to pick and choose your close friends wisely.<br />
Interaction with them will inevitably determine your needs to respond.”<br />
The grooming of relationships is very important for how luck will turn: it can either<br />
be increased by good friendships with the right people or made poor by improper<br />
action or improper choices on my part.<br />
At some other point, another ghost showed me this image, a small brook with<br />
little eddies and whirlpools:<br />
“See the whirlpool there? See how short it’s life is? That is another human<br />
being dying. You humans are little more than little whirlpools or eddies in<br />
the large Flow of the Waters from the original Well. You have a birth, a<br />
life-span, and then you weaken to the point where you disappear. That is<br />
how you appear to us. As a whirlpool you waste time believing that you have<br />
a separate existence from others, but in fact you all come from the same<br />
Waters.”<br />
For a long time, I thought I created my own existence. Back then, I felt no need<br />
to reinforce the others around me. Now, I know my existence is dependent upon<br />
others around me. I take care to groom my relationships with family and friends. I<br />
pay attention to how I treat others. I no longer feel justified in destroying them for<br />
material gain because it really results in material loss and disease.
