Stories of the Hungry Ghosts from The International Buddhist Society
The “Hungry Ghost” Moon
Hungry ghost is a term in Buddhism, and Chinese traditional religion, representing beings who are driven by intense emotional needs in an animalistic way. The International Buddhist Society describes people who have fallen into the realm of hungry ghosts are “those who abused their power, greedy, stingy, dishonest, unkind, deceitful, and indulged in lust and killing. We must pay close attention to our thoughts and actions, and stay on the right path to avoid committing bad karma and suffer from the retribution of bad consequences.”
The Hungry Ghosts are said to be unleashed from hell 15 days after the “Hungry Ghost” Moon. That’s about now. The Hungry Ghost Full Moon was August 19, 2024. The time falls in synchronicity with the last transit of Pluto and the short-term effects of Uranus, a time forecast for radical behavior and unexpected events on the world stage. No harm will come to those who reside under the Wing of the Almighty One. The war between good and evil is already won. Our only challenge is remembering to lean on the Truth of the Almighty One for protection and the justice of the Universal Law of Love.
King Saul was the “hungry ghost” that intended to steal David’s right to the throne. Psalm 59 is David’s song to the Lord when Saul had sent men to watch David’s house in order to kill him. It’s a scripture recommended for times when a Divine Way of life is threatened by the darkest shadows of Humanity.
Along with the verse, I’ve included the Hz Frequency that disrupts negative thought patterns and negative energy from digital devices. All we have to do is wait a little while and place all our Faith in the Lord who is our Divine Provision for all things. This is not a holiday weekend for a wild party. (By Buddhist tradition it’s time to stay indoors at night, to leave an offering of food outside the door, and to avoid swimming at the lake. The Hungry Ghosts are attracted to loud music and “merry-making.”)
It sounds like the protocol for the 3 days of darkness. It’s time to share our gratitude for the “hard road” that leads to our Salvation, and to proclaim the Promises of God.
The Psalms of David are songs that were worthy for a King.
Psalm 59
1 Deliver me from my enemies, O God;
be my fortress against those who are attacking me.
2 Deliver me from evildoers
and save me from those who are after my blood.
3 See how they lie in wait for me!
Fierce men conspire against me
for no offense or sin of mine, Lord.
4 I have done no wrong, yet they are ready to attack me.
Arise to help me; look on my plight!
5 You, Lord God Almighty,
you who are the God of Israel,
rouse yourself to punish all the nations;
show no mercy to wicked traitors.[c]
6 They return at evening,
snarling like dogs,
and prowl about the city.
7 See what they spew from their mouths—
the words from their lips are sharp as swords,
and they think, “Who can hear us?”
8 But you laugh at them, Lord;
you scoff at all those nations.
9 You are my strength, I watch for you;
you, God, are my fortress,
10 my God on whom I can rely.
God will go before me
and will let me gloat over those who slander me.
11 But do not kill them, Lord our shield,
or my people will forget.
In your might uproot them
and bring them down.
12 For the sins of their mouths,
for the words of their lips,
let them be caught in their pride.
For the curses and lies they utter,
13 consume them in your wrath,
consume them till they are no more.
Then it will be known to the ends of the earth
that God rules over Jacob.
14 They return at evening,
snarling like dogs,
and prowl about the city.
15 They wander about for food
and howl if not satisfied.
16 But I will sing of your strength,
in the morning I will sing of your love;
for you are my fortress,
my refuge in times of trouble.
17 You are my strength, I sing praise to you;
you, God, are my fortress,
my God on whom I can rely.
741 Hz is a frequency that disrupts the vibration of negative energy and restores our peace of mind.
Psalm 27: 13-14
13 I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord.

Galactic Tone 11: Resolution; 11 assists every new thing to find its place in the universe in the process of ‘fitting in.’ some modifications must occur. Eleven is the energy of dynamic actions facilitating change, simplification and improvement.
Monkey/CHUEN: Monkey is known to the Maya as the Weaver or Weaver of Time. Monkey takes ideas as threads of vines and weaves them into the fabric of our reality. New patterns or inventions are also woven into our lives by Monkey. Amiable, intelligent, generous and a jack of all trades, Monkey’s innocent curiosity leads to artistic expression and constructive solutions. Many Monkeys become highly respected merchants or speakers. They love performing practical jokes and crave attention, so much so that they may over-act or play the fool to get the spotlight. Monkeys have a short attention span and find it difficult to stay with anything long enough to master it.
A GOOD DAY TO: Begin anything new in your life.
