Spiritual Protection and Energy
What risks arise from spirit boards, automatic writing or inviting unseen beings yourself?
English translation draft · Based on the Chinese article. This is not a word-for-word translation approved by Master Shengyuan.
Other people trying spirit-board or automatic-writing games without trouble does not guarantee the same for you. The tool is one part of the method; the caller’s condition, intention and whom they contact may all differ. Receiving an answer does not immediately establish that a deity is speaking.
In my religious understanding, inviting and sending away are not completed by saying one sentence each. Thanking someone when a game ends does not mean departure. Not knowing who was contacted can turn curiosity into later difficulties. Calling a distant major temple’s deity at home also cannot be confirmed by a solemn feeling alone.
If you do not know how to handle it, do not try out of curiosity, peer pressure or a desire to prove ability. Faith can be learned gradually without creating hard-to-resolve problems first. If difficulties already exist, stop, explain events clearly and seek trusted help while caring for body and life. Do not add another summoning to verify the first and complicate things.
