I was recently given the opportunity to pay the Official and Personal Yin debt for a fellow Maoshan follower. You can’t become initiated without paying it. Generally, paying it for another also pays into your future needs, which it a pretty useful thing to know, if you believe in reincarnation and the Chinese Taoist paradigm. Now, this may exist under other paradigms, but I’m not speaking of that and can’t.
Having paid off mine and my friend’s Official and Personal debts, my mind turned towards my son’s. Naturally, this would mean that I would as my wife (atheist) if I should do hers. “Yeah, if you’re bored or whatever”. This was small slap, since I have been busy all day, around the house and garage, while she sat on the couch and did whatever. I was irritated that I was cooking twice in the same day, also doing the same dish washing to make both happen and then some.
Thus, I will turn my attention to my son’s debt. 20K + the 2K transfer fee. 22.1. 22,100 ingots for both. Mine was over 28K, so I’m game. I order my 6K ingots from a store on Ali Baba that should get them to me and allow me to fold and burn them before I leave in June-July of 2024 for Hawaii.
But that leaves me with several thousand left over. And I know just what to do with them.
Not long ago, I found out from a friend that they has a special relative that died young. Very young. I recently donated 1,000 ingots to this special gal, whose grave I have been do and paid my respects at. Looks like I’ll be donating more.
I admit to openly weeping at this grave, having called them forth. I now watch over them, desired. They’ve developed “wings” and are acting independently. They’ve even been given audiences with some named Gods/Goddesses/Saints. They still come around here, always a safe haven.
It is an honor.
I don’t need anyone’s permissions to pay it for my son. I have been given it for this blessed soul I stand bulwark/sentinel for. No, they are not my blood literally or by marriage, but I have a responsibility to them, so long as they keep trying to progress. Why? Because I woke them up from the deep, black slumber they were in. I have a duty to curate and care, so long as the spirit wants it and my friend appreciates it. I’ve grown quite fond, to be honest.
I light three gold ingots a day. One for Zhao Gongming, one for whomever he designates deserves it, and one for me. I don’t know who that third is for. It isn’t really my business. It’s a request, not a demand. But I know it is paying the debt for another.
I could’ve made a long, emotional post about how we should help others that want it, dead or alive, in their times of need. Instead, I’ve chosen to show you one small slice of my efforts to make the world a better place through progressing both living and discarnate entities. Yes, I have a history of doing this long before the name Norse900 was even a thing. And it is clearly a dear part of my soul, or the emotional aspect of ME, that I continue it now. That, despite all of the horrific things I’ve experienced and seen, I still stand here, tarnished, jaded, or similar…doing service to others.
I’ve joked about being “Saint Norse900” in the past. I’m not. I’m a regular guy that had to learn to be emotional again after my Infantry days in Iraq. But, just like opening up again after severe childhood trauma, I did. And after Iraq trauma, I eventually did. Others can, too.
But this is about paying Yin debts, right? A very compassionate act I’ve been honored to perform. I will do it for my son (I ordered his ingots before I typed this). Obviously, I plan on donating the extra to that spirit I watch over.
Is it arrogance? TRUE compassion? I would say NO to both. True compassion would mean, to me, that I wouldn’t care about the outcome. Similar to how some of the Eastern people feel that to become an Immortal or similar, the outcome isn’t WHY the compassionate act was done. The outcome is WHY I’m doing the act. I will take pleasure and satisfaction in achieving it, which is why I will not be a Saint or similar.
This is partially why I’m posting this. Those that know me, know I can curse quite effectively. I’ve practiced it on pedos and similar. I’ve also practiced healing. I am a balanced practitioner.
Taking satisfaction, personal satisfaction in these acts, not yet so widespread they’re “commonplace” is why I do them. I enjoy helping friends. I do help those I don’t know, but this is more of a balancing between powers thing than siding with one or the other.
Whether it’s on a global scale or a personal one, I take satisfaction. I also don’t pretend it’s for some “higher purpose” reason on top of this personal satisfaction. You could argue that it’s more “pure” or whatever. I simply don’t fool myself or anyone else into thinking it’s for some “higher” purpose than it is.
Which *should* put my actions at a much higher “level” than most gurus. Problem is…I’m too busy actually helping other people to care about basking in it..
