keris and spirit

Thank you Usman and Penangsang for your opinions, insightful as always.

Although my collection increased the following years, that insident was the only one I had. I can't deny that with the next kerises I had, I was rather "receptive" to similar experiences, maybe waiting to witness another one. But nothing happened.As a person I'm rather sceptical myself, like most of you in this forum.

But sometimes I'm thinking of the previous owners of the keris we possess. All the fears, all the wishes they had, and rely upon the keris to help. All the countless offerings they gave to them (or not). And in the end, this part of their soul that each and everyone gave to them. Not to mention the work of the empu, that gave a part of his/her existance to make it as well. How can somebody consider it "dead" and soulless?

Some romantic thoughts..
