My understanding is that they convened a big meeting shortly after his holy ascension, and the sacred ghost showed up; only it was Jesus' uncle wearing a sheet.
He served wine and muffins, and soon they were speaking a language they did not understand.
There were other odd behaviors by the participants; but my question is, why a sacred ghost? It seems such a being never figured in Jesus' actual life.

He was going to send a deer, but it got run over by a drunk Apostle. Then, still angry from being crucified, Jesus said "Why don't we send a pig, because we know the Jews will definitely leave IT alone." God said, "No, I created the world for entertainment and there's nothing better then scaring the be-Jesus (get it Son?) out of my creations, so let's send a ghost." Jesus wasn't too happy with this and that's why the Bible ends there - the father and son haven't spoken to each other since and here we are stuck with a ghost.

What you are referring to is the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit does not cause anyone to speak in a language that is not understood;
it was just the opposite as told by Acts on
Penticost Day: it was a language that was fully understood by every single foreign person who was there: even right down to the dialect of the communities they were from: if you hear someone speaking in what they call "tongues" but nobody understands it, guess what: you are hearing the devil speak, plain and simple.
It must be speech understood by every single language on earth, or it is not the Holy Spirit.
How can you say that the Holy Spirit never figured in Jesus' life? You my friend are completely Biblically illiterate - no offense intended, but you simply do not know what is written, or you never would have said that.

Part of the problem is you are using the King James Version. In there, Jesus says that he is sending the Holy Ghost. More modern translations use the name Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity. Along with the Father and the Son, the Holy Spirit is God. The Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity. Like the Father and the Son, the Holy Spirit is God, but there is only one God, not three. The Holy Spirit strengthens and sustains us. It is the Holy Spirit that brings us to God and gives us the gifts and talents that each of us need to fulfill our individual God-given mission in life.

Luke 3:21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened, 22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

The holy spirit is God's active force.
The Bible's use of "holy spirit" indicates that it is a controlled force that God uses to accomplish a variety of his purposes. To a certain extent, it can be likened to electricity,a force that can be adapted to perform a great variety of operations.
At Genesis 1:2 the Bible states that "God's active force ("spirit")was moving to and fro over the surface of the waters." Here God's spirit was his active force working to shape the earth.

Its not a ghost per se, its a spirit. Those who have it look different as if they shine, but it is real and accessible only to the humble. Which may be why many refer to its presence as a ghost, they can't stay humble while its in them. You know, fleeting as a Ghost?

The *sacred ghost* you clumsily allude to is the spirit of God.
The spirit of God's soul.
Your *sacred ghost* is the essence of your soul.
Yes. You have a soul.
The projection of one's *essence* (ie soul) is not impossible.
Astral projection, transendental meditation, karmic chakra alignment - are all things Jesus practiced..

In essence what Jesus was saying is, that He will remain with us till the end of time in spirit. The Holy Spirit He is referring to is His own spirit [since He is no longer in the flesh].

That's just silly.
Ask any Christian and they'll tell you that ghosts are demons.
So they're running around venerating demons, now.
Glad I'm not one of their lot...
I think I'd go mad from the inconsistencies.
