Full Version: Trees have spirits
Asia Finest Discussion Forum > Asian Culture > Hmong Chat

Okay, five years ago when my mom and I moved to the house I'm currently living at, the two tall trees in the front yard were full of green leaves. Both trees were dark brown and healthy with lots of leaves every years.
As years went by, there started to be tons of birds feces all over my mom's car and my car. Strange thing was, there were no birds.
Anyways, one day, my mom woke up and went outside. Her car was hit with lots of birds' poops, so she cursed at the trees.

You know how Hmong parents are, their CURSES are so hurtful. They know how to curse. The curse seems like a poem sometimes. It's so poetic, complex and insulting at the same time.

Anyways, after what my mom said, the two trees started to go dry. They're so dried-up right now. No more leaves. Branches are breaking off everyday. It's so sad. The trees turned grey.

My mom told me she may have "ua rau ob cov ntoos tu siab." The spirits of both trees left, which is why the two trees went dried, completely dead.

I remember my friend, whose father is a shaman said that trees have spirits. All non-human made things have spirits in them.

According to quantum mechanics and the wave-particle duality theory , we are all one mass consciousness that is connected , with many interdependent observers.

The tree is dependent on the observer , the tree is conscious of itself through the knower and seer. Like-wise , the universe is conscious of itself through the observer of the universe.

I like your thoughts Xeem. I agree trees have spirits too. Heck, you can even talk to them if you know how. Native Americans weren't kidding when Pocahontas talked to the Willow tree grandmother.

Listen with your heart
You will understand

Let it break upon you
Like a wave upon the sand

Listen with your heart
You will understand

Voice of the Wind
You will understand ...

I believe all living things have some kind of life force (spirit) if it is alive no matter what it is, its alive, and all living things hold within it some kind of energy or life force.

that being said, All humans are made from the stars, our carbin makeup use to be apart of stars and so does all living things on earth.

In other words, Science backs up what we are saying, now to convince the religious nutts. Science who would of thought, science is enlightment because its the truth.

Thank you for sharing your belief. I believe that Science without religion is nothing...religion without science is nothing...but those two together makes something

What about the spirit part?

I heard rocks/stones have spirits in them too. But a different kind of spirit.

Technically trees are living; they might not have minds but they know how to obtain nutrients and adapt to environments. Why wouldn't they have have spirits? By the way, does anyone know why people say that dogs don't have souls? lol
