"beguiled by a spirit, maborosi"


I saw a wonderful Japanese movie recently called Maborosi, which means spirit.

It is not a Christian movie but it is very good and it makes you think deeply about life. There is some hauntingly beautiful Chinese music by Chen Ming Chang that I can't get out of my head. It is played during a funeral procession. If I had a link to it I would paste it here. One thing that I received from this is a reminder of how powerful mood can be especialy when accomponied by music. Some times people do things they do not understand. From this movie I can further see how some become beguiled or inticed into something that they would not have rationaly done. Many times we are beguiled by spirits, enticed to go where we should not by some sort of magnetic pull on our souls. So I think that in these last days the power of the beguiling spirit will be greatly increased. Sometimes we have to fight to shake these things off. I think this is why we have to spend much more time in prayer and in our relationship with Jesus. If we hear his voice we will not crash into the rocks.
