What is striking about ghosts* is that by all accounts th[ey] are almost invariably either evil or tragic:** suggesting what I already suspect, ***that the Soul is stained (or Outer Circled) not only by Man's evil but by his failure to come to terms with personal tragedy (It is interesting, too, that evil ghosts are usually male – the Action side – and tragic ghosts are generally female – the Revolution side).

This emphasise{s} an aspect of the system which may seem almost amoral from our point of view (although that is our mistake): for who could possibly blame the tragic for remaining tragic? No-one; but we all know that we must end our mourning, and this may be one aspect of the reason why: the effect of God's Love at the Death of the Self – when {“}God will wipe every tear from every eye{”}**** – is that the tears are left behind.

****Rev[elation].6:17 [sic; unclear why?], 21:4 (ex Is[aiah].25:8)[:] 'God will wipe away all tears from their eyes'. <891001>

[Revelation 6:17: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Revelation 21:4: And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Isaiah 25:8: He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.
