long story short :
if you ask frivolous questions ...you summon a frivolous entity......
You make an excellent point, Barek.
You know what, there is a lot of "who knows?" in all of this -- is it possible the entity in question was faking his answer to get a rise out of the questioners? There's no way of knowing.
Sometimes, the people on our side approach the Ouija session with a frivilous attempt to deceive, just for fun. This reminds me of an incident when I was back in college.
I kept an Ouija Board in my dorm room and held many dozens of session with college friends. One time, a group of six of my best friends came over on a Saturday night. They had all dropped acid just before stopping by my room -- and they wanted to borrow my Ouija Board to run a session while tripping. I decided I could not resist to see the result of a group channeling while in radically altered states of mind. For the record, I DID NOT drop acid! I was never into that kind of thing. I was a sober observer.
Anyway, my friends Stu and Bill (whose nickname was Goose) took their place at the board and opened a coversation. They made contact with an entity that claimed to be an extremely minor "nature god" who held command of a very small plot of forest land in 15th Century Spain. From what I could tell, it was a "god" only in it's own tiny realm --which I thought was interesting.
Stu and Goose immediately started concocting a bizarre story -- they claimed that they were both "Forest Goblins" and they asked the Nature God if their were any store-houses of fairy eggs in the god's little realm.
The nature god seemed evasive to me, saying only that a wide variety of creatures lives in his realm that were under its protection.
Then Stu and Goose told the nature god that they needed the fairy eggs, wanted to hatch them, and raise them as their own children, and, eventually, merge their fairy genetic line with the forest goblin line to enhance their existence.
The nature god began to ask many questions about genetics, and Goose, who was a biology major, launched into a lecture on genetics -- but things quickly began to dissolve, because the other guys really started getting into their trip. They formed a circle around the board and they all placed their hands on the board and began chanting -- and I guess, basically speaking in tongues -- except for one of the guys, who, for some reason was singing "Gene Genie" by David Bowie at the top of his lungs. (I Guess the song Gene Genie reminded him of the subject of genetics.)
Anyway, as they did this, Goose suddenly became extremely rigid and wild-eyed -- it was like he went into a deep trance -- his hands were still on the Ouija Board and he was acting as if a strong electrical current was coming through the board into his body.
All of a sudden Goose picked up the board and screamed at the top of his lungs -- it was a wild, lusty scream.
He grabbed the Ouija Board and bolted out of the room -- everyone was screaming and yelling and acting weird -- I ran out after Goose, at first to get my board back, but then I thought I would follow him to see what would come of this. He really still seemed connected to the board.
Goose ran outside at a sprint and ran through the parking lot outside the dorm. I jumped on my bicycle to chase and follow him. It was just starting to get dark.
Goose ran through the streets like a madman, and then he turned into a very narrow space between two buildings. He sat down and started talking back and forth with the board. It was mostly gibberish. Then he jumped up and ran to the end of the street. There was a lot of water standing around because it had rained heavily earlier. Goose got down on his hands and knees and started lapping up puddle water like a dog. He had his hands on the board the whole time.
Then Goose ran off into the night -- I followed to a park that has a small lake by it -- there was no one in the park. Goose held the board above his head and waded into the lake up to his knees and then started doing a strange rhythmic dance, jumping on one foot, then the other. He was chanting, or speaking in tongues, or whatever. Then he got out of the lake and was dancing around trees, and doing all kinds of what seemed like nature worship stuff.
And there's more ---- but to make a long story short, Goose finally ran with the Quija Board back to the college campus. There was a movie theater on campus, and they happened to be showing the movie "Night of the Living Dead" -- the original black-and-white version. Goose was acting all normal now, but still holding the board, and he went in to watch the movie.
I went in to watch. he was sitting extremely rigidly with the board on his lap and his hands flat on top of it -- his hands were playing around on the board, as if he was a blindman reading braile. Then he got more and more rigid - the strange movie must have really been freaking out his acid trips and he jumped up and snapped the Ouija board in half with a loud crack -- everyone looked at him like we was nuts --
-- then Goose screamed -- "The universe will end in a heat death!" and then he ran out. I went over and picked up the two pieces of my board, and went home. All the other acid heads were gone, and my dorm room was trashed.
Anyway, here is an example of people on "this side" using the board to tell fake things to those on the other side, and no doubt, the bs can come from both directions.
. Thanks.
