How to discern truth from illusion in the mystical realm?
In the realm of mediums, distinguishing between reality and illusion can be challenging. In the case mentioned, it is true that Hailong received a message from the Invisible Realm, but it was not accurate to attribute it to the Jade Emperor himself.
When spirits possess mediums, they often present themselves with grandiose titles such as “Heavenly Father,” “Earthly Mother,” or “Jade Emperor God.” However, these are typically Guardian Spirits from the Eight Legions impersonating higher deities. This is because mediums and common people often aspire to receive guidance from the highest deities and may reject teachings from lesser spirits.
Those with karmic connections are fortunate to have spirits from the Eight Legions as their teachers, similar to how children in impoverished areas are fortunate to have elementary school teachers. They should not demand instruction from higher-ranking spirits, akin to expecting to be taught by government ministers instead of schoolteachers.
In both the visible and invisible worlds, it is rare for an ordinary citizen to communicate with the President or high-ranking officials, just as it is rare for a religious practitioner to receive direct messages from the Creator or the Buddha. Such interactions are reserved for individuals with virtue and merit earned through following and propagating the divine will.
