| The ghost cult
evolved as an offset to the hazards of bad luck; its primitive religious
observances were the outgrowth of anxiety about bad luck and of
the inordinate fear of the dead. None of these early religions had
much to do with the recognition of Deity or with reverence for the
superhuman; their rites were mostly negative, designed to avoid,
expel, or coerce ghosts. The ghost cult was nothing more nor less
than insurance against disaster; it had nothing to do with investment
for higher and future returns. | |

| Man has had
a long and bitter struggle with the ghost cult. Nothing in human
history is designed to excite more pity than this picture of man's
abject slavery to ghost-spirit fear. With the birth of this very
fear mankind started on the upgrade of religious evolution. Human
imagination cast off from the shores of self and will not again
find anchor until it arrives at the concept of a true Deity, a real
God. |

Ghost Fear Death was feared because death meant the liberation of another ghost from its physical body. The ancients did their best to prevent death, to avoid the trouble of having to contend with a new ghost. They were always anxious to induce the ghost to leave the scene of death, to embark on the journey to deadland. The ghost was feared most of all during the supposed transition period between its emergence at the time of death and its later departure for the ghost homeland, a vague and primitive concept of pseudo heaven. | |

| Though the
savage credited ghosts with supernatural powers, he hardly conceived
of them as having supernatural intelligence. Many tricks and stratagems
were practiced in an effort to hoodwink and deceive the ghosts;
civilized man still pins much faith on the hope that an outward
manifestation of piety will in some manner deceive even an omniscient
Deity. | |

| The primitives
feared sickness because they observed it was often a harbinger of
death. If the tribal medicine man failed to cure an afflicted individual,
the sick man was usually removed from the family hut, being taken
to a smaller one or left in the open air to die alone. A house in
which death had occurred was usually destroyed; if not, it was always
avoided, and this fear prevented early man from building substantial
dwellings. It also militated against the establishment of permanent
villages and cities. | |

| The savages
sat up all night and talked when a member of the clan died; they
feared they too would die if they fell asleep in the vicinity of
a corpse. Contagion from the corpse substantiated the fear of the
dead, and all peoples, at one time or another, have employed elaborate
purification ceremonies designed to cleanse an individual after
contact with the dead. The ancients believed that light must be
provided for a corpse; a dead body was never permitted to remain
in the dark. In the twentieth century, candles are still burned
in death chambers, and men still sit up with the dead. So-called
civilized man has hardly yet completely eliminated the fear of dead
bodies from his philosophy of life. | |

| But despite
all this fear, men still sought to trick the ghost. If the death
hut was not destroyed, the corpse was removed through a hole in
the wall, never by way of the door. These measures were taken to
confuse the ghost, to prevent its tarrying, and to insure against
its return. Mourners also returned from a funeral by a different
road, lest the ghost follow. Backtracking and scores of other tactics
were practiced to insure that the ghost would not return from the
grave. The sexes often exchanged clothes in order to deceive the
ghost. Mourning costumes were designed to disguise survivors; later
on, to show respect for the dead and thus appease the ghosts. |

Ghost Placation In religion the negative program of ghost placation long preceded the positive program of spirit coercion and supplication. The first acts of human worship were phenomena of defense, not reverence. Modern man deems it wise to insure against fire; so the savage thought it the better part of wisdom to provide insurance against ghost bad luck. The effort to secure this protection constituted the techniques and rituals of the ghost cult. | |

| It was once
thought that the great desire of a ghost was to be quickly "laid"
so that it might proceed undisturbed to deadland. Any error of commission
or omission in the acts of the living in the ritual of laying the
ghost was sure to delay its progress to ghostland. This was believed
to be displeasing to the ghost, and an angered ghost was supposed
to be a source of calamity, misfortune, and unhappiness. | |

| The funeral
service originated in man's effort to induce the ghost soul to depart
for its future home, and the funeral sermon was originally designed
to instruct the new ghost how to get there. It was the custom to
provide food and clothes for the ghost's journey, these articles
being placed in or near the grave. The savage believed that it required
from three days to a year to "lay the ghost"¡ªto get it
away from the vicinity of the grave. The Eskimos still believe that
the soul stays with the body three days. | |

| Silence or
mourning was observed after a death so that the ghost would not
be attracted back home. Self-torture¡ªwounds¡ªwas a common form of
mourning. Many advanced teachers tried to stop this, but they failed.
Fasting and other forms of self-denial were thought to be pleasing
to the ghosts, who took pleasure in the discomfort of the living
during the transition period of lurking about before their actual
departure for deadland. | |

| Long and frequent
periods of mourning inactivity were one of the great obstacles to
civilization's advancement. Weeks and even months of each year were
literally wasted in this nonproductive and useless mourning. The
fact that professional mourners were hired for funeral occasions
indicates that mourning was a ritual, not an evidence of sorrow.
Moderns may mourn the dead out of respect and because of bereavement,
but the ancients did this because of fear. | |

| The names of
the dead were never spoken. In fact, they were often banished from
the language. These names became taboo, and in this way the languages
were constantly impoverished. This eventually produced a multiplication
of symbolic speech and figurative expression, such as "the
name or day one never mentions." | |

| The ancients
were so anxious to get rid of a ghost that they offered it everything
which might have been desired during life. Ghosts wanted wives and
servants; a well-to-do savage expected that at least one slave wife
would be buried alive at his death. It later became the custom for
a widow to commit suicide on her husband's grave. When a child died,
the mother, aunt, or grandmother was often strangled in order that
an adult ghost might accompany and care for the child ghost. And
those who thus gave up their lives usually did so willingly; indeed,
had they lived in violation of custom, their fear of ghost wrath
would have denuded life of such few pleasures as the primitives
enjoyed. | |

| It was customary
to dispatch a large number of subjects to accompany a dead chief;
slaves were killed when their master died that they might serve
him in ghostland. The Borneans still provide a courier companion;
a slave is speared to death to make the ghost journey with his deceased
master. Ghosts of murdered persons were believed to be delighted
to have the ghosts of their murderers as slaves; this notion motivated
men to head hunting. | |

enjoyed the smell of food; food offerings at funeral feasts were

| The dead were
supposed to use the ghosts of the tools and weapons that were theirs
in life. To break an article was to " kill it, " thus
releasing its ghost to pass on for service in ghostland. Property
sacrifices were also made by burning or burying. Ancient funeral
wastes were enormous. Later races made paper models and substituted
drawings for real objects and persons in these death sacrifices.
It was a great advance in civilization when the inheritance of kin
replaced the burning and burying of property. The Iroquois Indians
made many reforms in funeral waste. And this conservation of property
enabled them to become the most powerful of the northern red men.
Modern man is not supposed to fear ghosts, but custom is strong,
and much terrestrial wealth is still consumed on funeral rituals
and death ceremonies. |
3. Ancestor Worship The advancing ghost cult made ancestor worship inevitable since it became the connecting link between common ghosts and the higher spirits, the evolving gods. The early gods were simply glorified departed humans. | ||

| Still later
the imagination of man envisioned the concept of both good and bad
supernatural agencies; some ghosts never evolved to the level of
good spirits. The early monospiritism of ghost fear was gradually
evolving into a dual spiritism, a new concept of the invisible control
of earthly affairs. At last good luck and bad luck were pictured
as having their respective controllers. And of the two classes,
the group that brought bad luck were believed to be the more active
and numerous. | |

| When the doctrine
of good and bad spirits finally matured, it became the most widespread
and persistent of all religious beliefs. This dualism represented
a great religio-philosophic advance because it enabled man to account
for both good luck and bad luck while at the same time believing
in supermortal beings who were to some extent consistent in their
behavior. The spirits could be counted on to be either good or bad;
they were not thought of as being completely temperamental as the
early ghosts of the monospiritism of most primitive religions had
been conceived to be. Man was at last able to conceive of supermortal
forces that were consistent in behavior, and this was one of the
most momentous discoveries of truth in the entire history of the
evolution of religion and in the expansion of human philosophy. | |

| Evolutionary
religion has, however, paid a terrible price for the concept of
dual spiritism. Man's early philosophy was able to reconcile spirit
constancy with the vicissitudes of temporal fortune only by postulating
two kinds of spirits, one good and the other bad. And while this
belief did enable man to reconcile the variables of chance with
a concept of unchanging supermortal forces, this doctrine has ever
since made it difficult for religionists to conceive of cosmic unity.
The gods of evolutionary religion have generally been opposed by
the forces of darkness. | |

| The tragedy
of all this lies in the fact that, when these ideas were taking
root in the primitive mind of man, there really were no bad or disharmonious
spirits in all the world. Such an unfortunate situation did not
develop until after the Caligastic rebellion and only persisted
until Pentecost. The concept of good and evil as cosmic co-ordinates
is, even in the twentieth century, very much alive in human philosophy;
most of the world's religions still carry this cultural birthmark
of the long-gone days of the emerging ghost cults. |

The Advancing Ghost Cult 87:5.1 Primitive man viewed the spirits and ghosts as having almost unlimited rights but no duties; the spirits were thought to regard man as having manifold duties but no rights. The spirits were believed to look down upon man as constantly failing in the discharge of his spiritual duties. It was the general belief of mankind that ghosts levied a continuous tribute of service as the price of noninterference in human affairs, and the least mischance was laid to ghost activities. Early humans were so afraid they might overlook some honor due the gods that, after they had sacrificed to all known spirits, they did another turn to the "unknown gods," just to be thoroughly safe. | |

| And now the
simple ghost cult is followed by the practices of the more advanced
and relatively complex spirit-ghost cult, the service and worship
of the higher spirits as they evolved in man's primitive imagination.
Religious ceremonial must keep pace with spirit evolution and progress.
The expanded cult was but the art of self-maintenance practiced
in relation to belief in supernatural beings, self-adjustment to
spirit environment. Industrial and military organizations were adjustments
to natural and social environments. And as marriage arose to meet
the demands of bisexuality, so did religious organization evolve
in response to the belief in higher spirit forces and spiritual
beings. Religion represents man's adjustment to his illusions of
the mystery of chance. Spirit fear and subsequent worship were adopted
as insurance against misfortune, as prosperity policies. | |

| Human prosperity
was supposed to be especially provocative of the envy of evil spirits,
and their method of retaliation was to strike back through a human
agency and by the technique of the evil eye. That phase of the cult
which had to do with spirit avoidance was much concerned with the
machinations of the evil eye. The fear of it became almost world-wide.
Pretty women were veiled to protect them from the evil eye; subsequently
many women who desired to be considered beautiful adopted this practice.
Because of this fear of bad spirits, children were seldom allowed
out after dark, and the early prayers always included the petition,
"deliver us from the evil eye." | |

eye gave origin to the first superstitions respecting prenatal marking
of children, maternal impressions, and the cult was at one time
well-nigh universal. | |

to his early gods. And since man had once practiced deception upon
the ghosts, he soon began to deceive the spirits. Said he, "If
the spirits are jealous of our beauty and prosperity, we will disfigure
ourselves and speak lightly of our success." Early humility
was not, therefore, debasement of ego but rather an attempt to foil
and deceive the envious spirits. | |

| The method
adopted to prevent the spirits from becoming jealous of human prosperity
was to heap vituperation upon some lucky or much loved thing or
person. The custom of depreciating complimentary remarks regarding
oneself or family had its origin in this way, and it eventually
evolved into civilized modesty, restraint, and courtesy. In keeping
with the same motive, it became the fashion to look ugly. Beauty
aroused the envy of spirits; it betokened sinful human pride. The
savage sought for an ugly name. This feature of the cult was a great
handicap to the advancement of art, and it long kept the world somber
and ugly. | |

| Under the spirit
cult, life was at best a gamble, the result of spirit control. One's
future was not the result of effort, industry, or talent except
as they might be utilized to influence the spirits. The ceremonies
of spirit propitiation constituted a heavy burden, rendering life
tedious and virtually unendurable. From age to age and from generation
to generation, race after race has sought to improve this superghost
doctrine, but no generation has ever yet dared to wholly reject

| It was not
merely out of curiosity that the ancients sought to know the future;
they wanted to dodge ill luck. Divination was simply an attempt
to avoid trouble. During these times, dreams were regarded as prophetic,
while everything out of the ordinary was considered an omen. And
even today the civilized races are cursed with the belief in signs,
tokens, and other superstitious remnants of the advancing ghost
cult of old. Slow, very slow, is man to abandon those methods whereby
he so gradually and painfully ascended the evolutionary scale of
life. |

| 6. Coercion and Exorcism When men believed in ghosts only, religious ritual was more personal, less organized, but the recognition of higher spirits necessitated the employment of "higher spiritual methods" in dealing with them. This attempt to improve upon, and to elaborate, the technique of spirit propitiation led directly to the creation of defenses against the spirits. Man felt helpless indeed before the uncontrollable forces operating in terrestrial life, and his feeling of inferiority drove him to attempt to find some compensating adjustment, some technique for evening the odds in the one-sided struggle of man versus the cosmos. | |

| In the early
days of the cult, man's efforts to influence ghost action were confined
to propitiation, attempts by bribery to buy off ill luck. As the
evolution of the ghost cult progressed to the concept of good as
well as bad spirits, these ceremonies turned toward attempts of
a more positive nature, efforts to win good luck. Man's religion
no longer was completely negativistic, nor did he stop with the
effort to win good luck; he shortly began to devise schemes whereby
he could compel spirit co-operation. No longer does the religionist
stand defenseless before the unceasing demands of the spirit phantasms
of his own devising; the savage is beginning to invent weapons wherewith
he may coerce spirit action and compel spirit assistance. | |

Foul-smelling concoctions were utilized to banish unwelcome spirits. Hideous images of the spirits were constructed so that they would flee in haste when they beheld themselves. It was believed that dogs could detect the approach of ghosts, and that they gave warning by howling; that cocks would crow when they were near. The use of a cock as a weather vane is in perpetuation of this superstition. | |

| Water was regarded
as the best protection against ghosts. Holy water was superior to
all other forms, water in which the priests had washed their feet.
Both fire and water were believed to constitute impassable barriers
to ghosts. The Romans carried water three times around the corpse;
in the twentieth century the body is sprinkled with holy water,
and hand washing at the cemetery is still a Jewish ritual. Baptism
was a feature of the later water ritual; primitive bathing was a
religious ceremony. Only in recent times has bathing become a sanitary
practice. | |

| But man did
not stop with ghost coercion; through religious ritual and other
practices he was soon attempting to compel spirit action. Exorcism
was the employment of one spirit to control or banish another, and
these tactics were also utilized for frightening ghosts and spirits.
The dual-spiritism concept of good and bad forces offered man ample
opportunity to attempt to pit one agency against another, for, if
a powerful man could vanquish a weaker one, then certainly a strong
spirit could dominate an inferior ghost. Primitive cursing was a
coercive practice designed to overawe minor spirits. Later this
custom expanded into the pronouncing of curses upon enemies. | |

| Next came the
practice of ritual vows, soon to be followed by religious pledges
and sacred oaths. Most of these oaths were accompanied by self-torture
and self-mutilation; later on, by fasting and prayer. Self-denial
was subsequently looked upon as being a sure coercive; this was
especially true in the matter of sex suppression. And so primitive
man early developed a decided austerity in his religious practices,
a belief in the efficacy of self-torture and self-denial as rituals
capable of coercing the unwilling spirits to react favorably toward
all such suffering and deprivation. | |

| 7. Nature of Cultism The cult type of social organization persisted because it provided a symbolism for the preservation and stimulation of moral sentiments and religious loyalties. The cult grew out of the traditions of "old families" and was perpetuated as an established institution; all families have a cult of some sort. Every inspiring ideal grasps for some perpetuating symbolism-seeks some technique for cultural manifestation which will insure survival and augment realization-and the cult achieves this end by fostering and gratifying emotion. | |

| From the dawn
of civilization every appealing movement in social culture or religious
advancement has developed a ritual, a symbolic ceremonial. The more
this ritual has been an unconscious growth, the stronger it has
gripped its devotees. The cult preserved sentiment and satisfied
emotion, but it has always been the greatest obstacle to social
reconstruction and spiritual progress. | |

| Notwithstanding
that the cult has always retarded social progress, it is regrettable
that so many modern believers in moral standards and spiritual ideals
have no adequate symbolism-no cult of mutual support-nothing to
belong to. But a religious cult cannot be manufactured; it must
grow. And those of no two groups will be identical unless their
rituals are arbitrarily standardized by authority. | |

| The early Christian
cult was the most effective, appealing, and enduring of any ritual
ever conceived or devised, but much of its value has been destroyed
in a scientific age by the destruction of so many of its original
underlying tenets. The Christian cult has been devitalized by the
loss of many fundamental ideas. | |

| In the past,
truth has grown rapidly and expanded freely when the cult has been
elastic, the symbolism expansile. Abundant truth and an adjustable
cult have favored rapidity of social progression. A meaningless
cult vitiates religion when it attempts to supplant philosophy and
to enslave reason; a genuine cult grows. | |

| Regardless
of the drawbacks and handicaps, every new revelation of truth has
given rise to a new cult, and even the restatement of the religion
of Jesus must develop a new and appropriate symbolism. Modern man
must find some adequate symbolism for his new and expanding ideas,
ideals, and loyalties. This enhanced symbol must arise out of religious
living, spiritual experience. And this higher symbolism of a higher
civilization must be predicated on the concept of the Fatherhood
of God and be pregnant with the mighty ideal of the brotherhood
of man. | |

| The old cults
were too egocentric; the new must be the outgrowth of applied love.
The new cult must, like the old, foster sentiment, satisfy emotion,
and promote loyalty; but it must do more: It must facilitate spiritual
progress, enhance cosmic meanings, augment moral values, encourage
social development, and stimulate a high type of personal religious
living. The new cult must provide supreme goals of living which
are both temporal and eternal¡ªsocial and spiritual. | |

endure and contribute to the progress of social civilization and
individual spiritual attainment unless it is based on the biologic,
sociologic, and religious significance of the home. A surviving
cult must symbolize that which is permanent in the presence of unceasing
change; it must glorify that which unifies the stream of ever-changing
social metamorphosis. It must recognize true meanings, exalt beautiful
relations, and glorify the good values of real nobility. | |

| But the great
difficulty of finding a new and satisfying symbolism is because
modern men, as a group, adhere to the scientific attitude, eschew
superstition, and abhor ignorance, while as individuals they all
crave mystery and venerate the unknown. No cult can survive unless
it embodies some masterful mystery and conceals some worthful unattainable.
Again, the new symbolism must not only be significant for the group
but also meaningful to the individual. The forms of any serviceable
symbolism must be those which the individual can carry out on his
own initiative, and which he can also enjoy with his fellows. If
the new cult could only be dynamic instead of static, it might really
contribute something worth while to the progress of mankind, both
temporal and spiritual. | |

| But a cult-a
symbolism of rituals, slogans, or goals-will not function if it
is too complex. And there must be the demand for devotion, the response
of loyalty. Every effective religion unerringly develops a worthy
symbolism, and its devotees would do well to prevent the crystallization
of such a ritual into cramping, deforming, and stifling stereotyped
ceremonials which can only handicap and retard all social, moral,
and spiritual progress. No cult can survive if it retards moral
growth and fails to foster spiritual progress. The cult is the skeletal
structure around which grows the living and dynamic body of personal
spiritual experience-true religion. | |
