HOW TO USE MENTAL COMMUNICATION: TO BE AN ANCESTOR WORSHIPPER

Do you remember the religious beliefs of your ancestors? Were they interested in the Earth, or the sky, a leader or the power of a certain group? For my family there wasn't any one way of loving the environment and the maker(s) of our lives, in fact there were multiple spiritual solutions. What I have come to know as truth is a combination of values and traditions, and the lines of material that made me. I am an ancestor worshiper. As such I rely on faith to know who my ancestors are, what they want of me, and if we are hearing each other correctly. Telepathy is the method I use to worship. My body is my instrument to let them know about me and what I think of them. My body is my receiver for listening to and learning about them. Mental communication (MC) might be a figment of this faithful daughter's imagination, but I find it pleasing anyway.

It is wonderful to hold a conversation with those who know and love their child, but it does take some discipline. Over the ages there has been difficulties in understanding, obeying and feeling safe. It is our chance now, in the modern day, to adjust any of the little things that went wrong in the haste of living. The task of MC is easy, it can be done anywhere. Making sound and moving my lips, I develop language to make my needs known to my ancestors. Silent MC is also useful for allowing the receiver to interpret the language in their own way; spoken MC is useful for reifying the specific language as it is meant (definitions may be necessary). The thinking body is full of noises and sounds and I find that the spirit of communication is best honed in on the voice box and that's why I often speak aloud. The pleasure of making and using one's own vocal cord seems obvious, but it's best with practice, like meditation or prayer. Encouraging parents to be verbal is beneficial, it helps them to keep their body tone and their mental facility with words sharp.

The blessing begins with honing in on the individuality of the person you wish to communicate with to avoid having an erroneous conversation with any one of the billions of entities that could be commenting or mimicking a knower. I do this by intending to only respond to an authentic self. I generally visualize a uniqueness: it could be anything, a pattern, a color, a shape in their body heat. I look for that specificity every time I want an audience with that person. A person could have energy parasites and other frauds, and it is the listener's responsibility to pay attention to a true self. If one suspects one's self is being misrepresented, one does not have to be obligated to interrupt, however one might want to correct the conversation to minimize slander. I believe one must strive to communicate consciously. This is not an uncontrolled experience, this requires all the complexity and depth of having best friends: parents. Treat communication like part of the law: freedom of speech is wonderful, but unconscious communication is unreliable, while untruths are a form of libel.

While MC with friends and community takes place in the zeitgeist, these are zero-material memes, telepathy with line-of-kin takes place in one's body. Cuddling close to a person's body proper is the body heat, both are all full of the material that makes a person individual. Parent and child must equally keep their body proper and body heat clean to insure clean communication. They can help each other, parent and child, with mutual removal of parasites and afterbirth energies, but also any extra information in the microbiome, those materials that one was born containing. One endeavors to keep their lineage and their body free of debris to more authentically fine tune the capacity to communicate. These actions serve zeitgeist communication with others in the vein of having a pure, or more pure, vessel of thought. These actions also allow a family to better recognize each other.

Attaching parent to child is an unbreakable cord of connection. Originating in the parent and following the child forever is the “baby tube”. This ultimate filament stretches out in space from the parent to secure the child to itself. And so it goes back in time from youngest through generations to (whomever may be) the first creator. Members of the parental (all generations of parents) group are the transmission generators for the child as information travels back and forth in the MC conversations in real time. In this way parents support children and children support parents.

The most important thing for an ancestor/child group is to learn to stay off each other. Afterbirth is anything one was not born with, including an other's touch (even parentals) which can leave dents or marks. To keep afterbirth off one might first negotiate what one thinks one was born possessing, this includes as much lineage as can be remembered. Avoid being pushed out of one's own way. By electrical grounding self-to-self and acknowledging lineage and microbiome one can begin to form baseline expectations. There is a bubble of body heat from that ancestor, stemming from the baby tube and encapsulating each child individually: it must be properly maintained. It is an active part of the internal knowledge of the family. The material of the “baby bubble” can be sorted and refreshed periodically on a cycle on the family line. It is a child's joy to keep the parent's bubble clean. Living within layers of parental material, one must not push around the ancestors into trouble by pushing one's own body heat around, it will be uncomfortable for them if their energy and capacity to be perfect are squandered.

The child's role is to pursue the parent's interest and questions about life. Demonstrating ethics of the family and uplifting the language production in a useful way is the child's job. Parents and children must teach themselves to obey each other and seek evolution at the same time. Parents must be vigilant in keeping the child free from parasites and frauds that could speak from the location of the child, while not sharing the point of view. Additionally, it is the child's responsibility to avoid asking for solutions about the modern day. It is the child who is in charge of evolving the family and make decisions. The child, after they have come of age, is the head of the family.

The reason to know parents in this way is to strengthen the bond to self. Living parents can be called on to council the MC in person or, for instance, on the phone. Parents who have passed continue to work on their personality and well-being; they are seen as resting. I believe parents long to play a role in their off-spring's life. Seeking the closeness and truth telling is always a helpful path for family pleasure and praise. The above mental communication techniques help to enrich the religious desire and the worshipful instinct, while loving one's own family, rather than, as is so often the case, venerating another family, becoming only a parishioner or patron, not the star. In ancestor worship, each point in the line of assent of a family is a GOD/DESS.
