		Ghosts to me, with my limited knowledge as a lay person, are composites of the aggregates, who hang around or are "stuck" in the lower astral plane due to attachment, emotional or otherwise, rather than rejoining Sunyata, the Void, The Nameless Way, Tao, whatever you wanna call it for the sake of discussion.
		If "ghosts" are real and are really trapped, it would be enlightening as to how they are really aided in letting go of their hangups, attachments, etc. I'm not trying to pick a fight like hari or whoever you flamed with the picture of the genitals.
