James Hollis sees hauntings as an invitation to rise above the ghost that is haunting you, and as an opportunity to get unstuck and move forward to a life closer to your soul. All with the purpose to (re)connect with the meaning of your life.
To a certain extent, we all live in service to the past and to values of our family of origin. We can also be seized by the effect of untold stories, by emotions like shame or guilt, by disappointments and the sense of betrayal when our expectations are not met, and/or by complexes or experiences in previous relationships.
Those conscious and unconscious dynamics can haunt us. Until we are forced to face our pain and fear, and the path of healing becomes clear.
