Wendy and the womb with a view: BURDEN of our ANCESTORSFrom: Michael Winn

MessageTrunk,
It's totally true - the oceans of suffering from past generations are vast. I've mostly tapped into this through my wife, who seems particularly sensitive to ancestral issues and opens easily into that ocean of collective pain. It seems like she is drowning in it, but then somehow always learns to swim back into light and joy. A tough path, but it makes you strong.
But eventually, with steady practice, I've seen that that ocean , while overwhelmingly large to an individual, is still tiny and ephemeral in the vaster flow of the Life Force. Yes, it is grist for awakening - but let's not focus on the suffering, but on the joy of transforming it and moving it from its stuck place. Each generation has its job , its duty to previous generations, but ultimately all owe allegiance only to our own truth. And that place is not controlled by suffering or any other polarity.
