THE HOLY GHOST

An ancient prayer that GURDJIEFF used is: 'IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND IN THE NAME OF THE SON, AND IN THE NAME OF THE HOLY GHOST' that is on a CD that I recently purchased which is devoted to the hymns and prayers found in his writings, made me think a bit more on this subject, which is usually recited this way in various churches: IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT For many this will not appear to be a 'problem' or will mean the same thing, namely, that THE HOLY GHOST and THE HOLY SPIRIT are ONE and the SAME...but are THEY? Why do some groups prefer to use HOLY GHOST rather than HOLY SPIRIT? AND, what is the NAME of the HOLY GHOST? Or, what is the NAME of the HOLY SPIRIT? We do know the Name of the FATHER.....but I shall not discuss this at the moment because it has many aspects to it that need a wider and broader and more detailed treatment to fully understand certain things, certain notions, and certain 'occult-esoteric' factors. We know the Name of the SON in that most consider the Name to be the familiar JESUS or THE CHRIST or JESUS CHRIST or JESUS THE CHRIST,plus a list of other names and titles that I shall not discuss here for the same reasons stated about the NAME OF THE FATHER...... After the death of JESUS, HIS APPEARANCES were that of a 'GHOST', an apparition, and after HIS ASCENSION as described in the current and accepted HOLY BOOKS of THE NEW TESTAMENT, the descent of the HOLY GHOST or HOLY SPIRIT is described or noted, at least.... Without going into the DOCTRINE(S) OF THE TRINITY, which has been controversial since the very start of CHRISTIANITY as we know it, the NAME OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS CONSIDERED TO BE JESUS...CHRIST...that is, the HOLY GHOST IS ANOTHER ASPECT OF JESUS, THE SON....So we can say that THE HOLY SPIRIT is the SPIRIT OF JESUS or THE HOLY GHOST is the GHOST OF JESUS... UNFORTUNATELY, most present day-contemporary Christians of all denominations consider JESUS and THE HOLY GHOST or HOLY SPIRIT as separate BEINGS....different PERSONS, ASPECTS, BEINGS,etc. In other words if THE HOLY GHOST or HOLY SPIRIT comes to Men/women or appears to them,etc. in whatever way, such as,spiritually, mystically, divinely, etc., it is THE GHOST OF JESUS or THE SPIRIT OF JESUS tha they perceive or sense or realize in some way...whatever it really is this experience that they may claim or undergo.
