Hello,

Recently I read a novel 'The Name of the Star' in which lost spirits were dispensed with by abruptly running two electrical currents through a small diamond. The device they had designed for doing so had to be held within the energy field of the entity. The characters/author admitted that they had no idea what happened to these shades who were being obliterated this way.

The entities being dispatched had caused harm and would not listen to requests to stop. The only people who could see them were several people who had recently had close brushes with death themselves. Other aspects of the story --geographical, psychological -- were accurate.

I'm wondering if any of you have technological or moral views of that process?

I just read that treatment of post-traumatic stress syndrome and even certain kinds of blindness with application of light inside the actual brains of animals is being studied right now with positive results. What seems unlikely to us now will be possible in the future.

It would be better, I think, to know what happens to these spirits, before doing such a thing, but a lot of progress results from experimentation. People do what works, regardless.

I don't think it is a "right" of a spirit to harm us in this realm either, which goes without saying.

Those of us who practice "retrievals" in other ways don't actually know what happens to the spirits we "free" in an ultimate sense after we disconnect from the experience. It appears to us that they are moved to a better place, but we cannot know for sure. We have to do the practice with a certain amount of pure faith.

"If it is possible to destroy a Soul, I don't believe anybody should do so. No person has such a right!"

I definitely don't agree with everything Tom Campbell says, but when he talks about some individuated consciousnesses very rarely getting recycled by the big cheese or the larger consciousness system..

  Well, it does ring true to my intuition some.  If an individual becomes such a troubling, unbalancing, and destructive influence on those around them, and if all tries of rehabilitation, retrieval, etc fail and fail miserably time and time again, and if they are not breaking up their own consciousness pattern, awareness, etc

  Then wouldn't it be possible that someone with authority and power, might put them out of their misery so to speak?   

  Not as punishment, but as compassion and practicality to both them and to the ones they are negatively affecting.

  For an earthly metaphor, it's akin to shooting a dog with rabies.  Is that really such a bad thing?   Sad yes, but maybe sometimes necessary? 

  Also, i see it less as getting destroyed, as more remolded. An opportunity to be a different being without the baggage of the past. 

  In any case, i don't think this is ever undertaken lightly.   

If I was an evil minded being and I couldn't be helped, I would want someone to end my existence.
