What Happens if You Choose to Worship the Ancestors, But They Have Already Reincarnated?

Ancestral worship is the veneration, feeding and/or adoration of ancestors who have come before you and resulted in the creation of you — it is a form of spirituality. Some of us believe certain aspects of the energetic biobot systems we call ‘human’ are eternal. Some call it the spirit, soul or essence of the individual.  It is the physically invisible, yet ethereally visible aspect of a person. Ancestral worship hinges on the belief that humans, outside of a physical body, come into a more powerful, more grand, more deified version of themselves, handy for assisting other family members who remain in the 3D or carnal world. They can feed of the essence of food and drink left for them and spend money in their plane, that is burned for them in this one.

Once an ancestor passes to the ancestral plane, they remain alive and accessible for a time. Even if they reincarnate, their Higher Self form can still interact with your spirit in the dream state. When you reincarnate, your entire energetic body is not in the body, but there is an attachment that remains to the universal plane. The part of the universe that gives you life is sometimes called your Ori.

For Empaths | Let Them Be Responsible for Their Own Emotions.

Let’s Be Clear, Nobody Knows Exactly What to Do.

You make decisions based on what you feel is right at the time, with those involved [or not] and according to the circumstances. The good news is there is more than one way to skin a cat, meaning there is more than one solution to any problem, that will work. Bad news is some people feel their way of doing things is the only way and they will go to major lengths to convince you to give them what they want, even throwing full fledged adult tantrums.

Flash Fiction | The Honey Bees of Orun – An African-American Yoruba Story

Not too long ago in the United States of America, golden sweet honey became a luxury crop and very expensive for people to buy. Nobody wanted to be a honeybee keeper, and due to lack of interest in the work and inability to genetically modify the food, honey was scarce.

Flash Fiction: The Wolf with the Siamese Hind Parts

Once upon a time there was a wolf who was born with six legs, two tails, one penis, three testicles, one vagina, half a womb and two assholes. The wolf was sorely teased by his pack and all of the animals in the forest due to his reverse Siamese deformity and was rejected from home. Even though [s]he was both male and female, and had only one head, the twins easily communicated telepathically.

One day as the twins wandered alone in their one combined body, the female asked her male twin a question. “Why are we different?”

As I dive more deeply into this spiritual journey, I am further convinced that empathy, as we know it, is not healthy. Renee Tarot

Why Do You Care More Than the Universal Powers Do?

Most spiritual practitioners who are over the age of 40 were taught to feel other people’s burdens. Did you know this can lead to mental health issues?

There are many spiritual texts that exist in the world, yet there are as many interpretations and ‘voices of God’ as there are people. Some of you grew up giving your lives to Christ in some form or other and being taught biblical principals that we now know lead to insanity. Who among us is qualified to determine what is right or wrong?

Poetry | Focus on Me

Photo by Anna Tarazevich on Pexels.com

I was told it is selfish to think about myself —

even though the only person I can confirm really exists is me.

I chose the road most traveled and became enabling and codependent.

Question: What happens if I have no expectations about what others do?

Answer: Others become meaningless.

Hope: I can change the previous answer.

I’m told the only person I can truly change is myself.

Trauma tells me that is not true.

Despite what Trauma, drunk on cortisol, relays to me at 6 pm est each day;

and despite the fact that I may not find complete truth in the statement,

“I can only change myself,”

I will focus on me, as best I can, because once again,

I’m the only one that I can confirm truly exists.
