What would happen if we returned to the air, the water, the fire, the earth, and the fellow human beings? - What a world would we have if we gave priority to these concrete things - instead of abstract values ​​like money, profit, or a distant "God"? ... (Starhawk / Wynne-G.)

Yes, in some cultures and belief systems, ghosts are indeed considered messengers of death or spirits associated with the transition to the afterlife. These messages can vary, ranging from warnings about death to insights into the journey of the soul or the nature of the afterlife. 

Here's a more detailed look:

Medieval Beliefs:

In the medieval period, ghosts were often seen as messengers from purgatory or deceptive spirits, potentially offering information about the soul's journey. 

Psychopomps:

In many religions, spirits, angels, or deities called psychopomps are responsible for guiding souls to the afterlife. These messengers may appear in various forms, including birds, animals, or even humans. 

Specific Cultural Interpretations:

Greek Mythology: Hermes, the messenger of the gods, guided souls to the shores of the River Styx. 

Chinese Folklore: Black and White Impermanence, two generals of Daou, patrol the mortal world for drifting spirits. 

Aztec Beliefs: Shalot, a fearful god, guides souls to Miklan. 

Gaelic Lore: The Banshee, a female spirit, heralds death with a wail. 

Modern Interpretations:

In some modern works, ghosts are depicted as guides with unfinished business, often offering advice or insight. 

In essence, the concept of ghosts as messengers of death is a recurring theme in many cultures, often reflecting a belief in an afterlife and the possibility of communication with the departed (see e.g. dali48 and dreaming and visions and NDE etc.)!

Whose theory stated that everything was made out of earth, air, fire, and water? - But Empedocles is best known for claiming that all matter is formed when the opposing forces of Love and Hate act upon the four elements -- Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. He also gave us an early theory of natural selection.

Love–hate relationship

What are the 4 elements of Buddhism? - In Buddhism, the four Great Elements (Pali: cattāro mahābhūtāni) are earth, water, fire and air.
Übersicht mit KIWeitere InformationenThe phrase "money, profit, or a distant 'God'" explores the potential conflict between worldly pursuits and spiritual faith. It highlights a common human dilemma: whether to prioritize financial gain and material success over a belief in or connection with a higher power. Here's a breakdown of the elements: Money and Profit:These represent the pursuit of wealth, accumulation of assets, and the drive for financial gain. They are often seen as symbols of worldly success and achievement.A Distant "God":This refers to a belief in a divine being, a spiritual force, or a moral code that provides meaning, purpose, and guidance. The phrase "distant" suggests a lack of active engagement or personal connection with this belief.The Conflict:The phrase implies a tension between these two elements. The question is whether individuals prioritize material wealth and worldly success at the expense of their spiritual or moral values.In essence, the phrase prompts reflection on the importance of spiritual faith and the potential dangers of prioritizing wealth above all else. It suggests that a strong focus on money and profit can lead to a neglect of spiritual values and a sense of being disconnected from a higher purpose (see e.g. Cum-Ex etc. - d.48)!
Übersicht mit KIWeitere InformationenWorldly pursuits and spiritual faith can be viewed as two distinct yet interconnected aspects of life. Worldly pursuits, often focused on material wealth, success, and status, are temporary and fleeting, while spiritual faith centers on eternal values, connection to a higher power, and lasting fulfillment. Balancing these two can lead to a more meaningful and balanced life, as spiritual faith can provide a framework for navigating worldly goals and understanding their true value. Worldly Pursuits:Definition:Worldly pursuits encompass activities and desires related to material possessions, career advancement, social status, and pleasure-seeking. Limitations:The Bible often highlights the fleeting nature of worldly things, suggesting that true satisfaction and purpose are not found in them alone. Potential Dangers:Excessive focus on worldly pursuits can lead to greed, envy, and a lack of spiritual growth. Spiritual Faith:Definition:Spiritual faith involves a belief in a higher power, a connection to something beyond the material world, and a focus on spiritual growth and values. Benefits:Spiritual faith can provide a sense of meaning, purpose, and peace, as well as a framework for ethical decision-making and living a fulfilling life. Balancing Act:It's about finding a balance between the needs and desires of the material world and the pursuit of spiritual values. Connecting the Two:Values:Spiritual faith can shape one's values and provide a foundation for ethical decision-making in worldly pursuits. Purpose:Spiritual faith can help individuals find meaning and purpose in their work and relationships, making their worldly pursuits more meaningful. Perspective:A spiritual perspective can help individuals understand the temporary nature of worldly things and prevent them from becoming the ultimate focus of their lives. Practical Implications:Seek First the Kingdom:The Bible encourages believers to prioritize spiritual matters and trust that worldly needs will be provided for as a result. Embrace Stewardship:Spiritual faith can lead to a sense of stewardship of worldly possessions, using them wisely and for the benefit of others. Find Balance:It's about finding a harmonious balance between fulfilling one's earthly responsibilities and nurturing one's spiritual life.
