It saddens me
to walk down the streets of Salt Lake City and see bloodied corpses, mangled
limbs, grotesque monsters, and evil spirits in so many windows and doorways.
These personifications of evil and violence are the expressions of my neighbor's
hearts and souls. Not an angel or a saint is portrayed in any Halloween celebrant's
yard.
Such a dark
world we live in when these demonic forces are the only spirits revered and
celebrated on Halloween.
Halloween comes
from the word "hallowed." This refers to things sacred and worshiped.
This pagan celebration of the spiritual world has been transformed over the
centuries into Halloween.
Yet, if we are
to imagine spirits walking the earth, why do we only imagine evil spirits?
ANSWER: Because too many people harbor evil spirits. Look at the successful
market there is of slasher/demon/murder movies. People enjoy these activities
in their hearts because their souls are not strong enough to suppress it or
redirect these animal instincts into more evolved characters.
It is just as
evil to watch someone be murdered and butchered as it is to actually wield
the knife.
If spirits do
walk the earth on Halloween, decide which kind of spirits you'd like to invite
into your home:
1. murderer
or rapist
2. devilish
monster
3. war hero
4. artist or
musician
5. saint
6. famous writer
7. Indian Chief
8. Significant
Ancestor
