Us and the Ghost

This is Amatsuchi, and this is my first time posting on the Yokai Channel.

Recently, I have been interested in phenomena that cannot be explained by conventional (preconceived notions or stereotypes) explanations, so I applied to be a writer for this blog without any prior knowledge (´∀｀)

My hobbies and habits are practicing swordsmanship and reading books on natural sciences, mainly late at night.
I think that ultimately it's because I want to encounter a powerful true monster.

When your mind and body are able to move in a completely natural way guided by the sword, it's a strange sensation, as if you can believe in ghosts and gods.

I feel that intentional actions and thoughts inevitably possess mysterious power.

When I think about moving, my limbs move, and my moving body is me, so I wonder if it's okay to think of the things that move as an extension of that as part of me.

And so, this substance began to show a will beyond that of a living flesh and blood.
I think it's okay to call them "things with supernatural powers."
I think weapons, costumes, dolls (including statues), and paintings are also likely to fall into this category.

Are the things called monsters or yokai not human or living things but have their own will and personality?

It seems only natural to me that something like an afterimage of an unconscious thought could act in a way that is called ghostly.

I think it's very natural for people to take on someone's will and personality and act like that person.
Perhaps we and spirits are interrelated, like the relationship between plants and animals.
