Ziteghost

On my podcast I’ve been talking about the things that haunt people as move through time. I grouped the things that haunt into two categories.

1. Ghosts — Are things from the past that haunt us. An example would be something traumatic from our pst that exits in the present as a memory that scares us. Many of the people I mentioned 9/11 as a ghost from their past.
2. Specters — Are things from the future that haunt us. An example would be an idea of something that could (or will) happen in the future, but has not happened yet. An example would b the specter of climate crisis.

Zeitgeist is a German word that means “The sprit of the times.” I’ve been thinking about a concept that I’m going to call the Zeitghost, which I’m going to say will be the main ghost that is haunting the present.

I suspect I’ll work though this idea more in a future edition of Complex Praxis.
