SPIRITUAL CLOUDS

 
The term "Spiritual Clouds" is used by members of Shumei to describe the darkening of the spiritual world that darken Divine Light. The dimming of this Light is the reason behind all suffering in the physical world. There are many causes for these clouds. Some are due to the individual sufferer’s hateful thoughts and actions. But not all clouds are caused by the sufferer. Some are due to the negative thoughts and deeds of others who share a special relationship or Spiritual Cord with the sufferer. Sometimes the origins of this clouding are obscure. They could be due to actions taken by the individual’s ancestors or may be carried over from a past life.
