Hungry ghosts are the demon-like creatures in Buddhist, Taoist, Hindu, Sikh, and Jain texts as the remnants of the dead who are afflicted with insatiable desire, hunger or thirst as a result of bad deeds or evil intent carried out in their life times

I think about the hungry ghost concept from time to time. One of the levels of death in the book of living and dying is the realm of the hungry ghosts. I think it’s a good way to remember not to let these thoughts overcome us.

I think reincarnation is a wavelength u travel up a down these realms, some of it good, some bad, and some of it is so-so. If reincarnation is the way it works.
Maybe! Hard to bring stuff back from those realms. Consciousness is a funny thing.
I think that although the Bardo thödol is read to the recently deceased to ease the consciousness passing into a good birth, that it’s also effective in reminding the living how to approach their remaining years at a time when they are most perceptive.
Having been blessed with a few death test runs, I feel at least a little qualified to comment on the subject and offer my opinion on hungry ghosts and the intended effect of the bardo thödol.
I have no recollection of past lives. Don't know what's the deal is after death. I do believe in a soul or spirit is part of my make up tho
My last decent into consciousness and egolessness I had slipped into the mind-state of a being incapable of movement . Who could only reach out to its environment through songs of pure language that fractalized out and created the reality that we inhabit.
