If acupuncture is a tool of medicine which is Qi or energy related, & the purest form of Qi is the Spirit which is housed in the physical body, then one inevitably must realize the presence of the human spirit, animating life & determining to some extent, health. The initial problem with this reasoning is that the Spirit of an individual human being cannot be measured & cannot be grasped on a physical way, rather can only be perceived through ones own feeling & senses. This said, we all recognize an individuals Spirit, which we name through the name of a person. Just the same, we continue to perceive in our daily life, collective Spirits which we name as the various groups, associations, companies, families & entire nations. We also speak of the human spirit & that of the world. More obscure, yet present & perceptible, are the spirits of those loved ones in our family which have passed on, which are brought up through conversation & contemplation, & which exist in our minds as memories. The question arises where have they gone to? There are also other dark spirits which have passed on to another realm, which continue to haunt us, either individually, or collectively, those dark figures in history such as tyrants, who have marked their somber legacy on humanity, & which occupy the minds & emotions of many people living in the mainstream of society. Practically, the human being is not functioning as a machine, despite our mechanical & material based society. Important physical development is crucial for life, & this has been triumphed by our western societies. Our society has also investigated the psyche, defining it as parts. Yet both psyche & soma are yet to be united, particularly in medicine. This book of Ghost Points, by Peter C. Van Kervel, unveils knowledge which has only been spoken of in whispers, clearly & boldly challenging us as individuals & society as a whole, to examine our material based outlook on life, both for the living & the deceased.
