"The World of Change is not only populated by humans, but by various types of souls, the ghosts and spirits or 'guishen.' 'Between heaven and earth there is no place the guishen do not exist.' These spirits of heaven and earth are of many kinds and their identities are constantly changing like the shifting figures in a dream, but they were all once souls and partake of the soul's numinous quality, 'ling,' a direct expression of the Way."
