In this episode, we explore one of the fundamental themes of becoming a ‘Living Ancestor’: orienting our lives toward ‘completion’. This expresses itself in small daily moments, all the way to the larger arc of completing the ritual of one's entire life.
This is timely formy romantic landscape. How do i move within this relational rupture and repair in a way that ultimately leads to becoming an ancestor? The rightness of the question is beautifully shocking to me. In a culture going through a collective difficult adolescence, the pace and time of the ancestral grounds me to actions of truth, love and courage. Courage, because completion suggests that the risk to really live in vital robust aliveness was also taken.
I totally love the principle you shared here Meri:
'In a culture going through a collective difficult adolescence, the pace and time of the ancestral grounds me to actions of truth, love and courage'
This.
That is core principle of the work with regards to the Ancestral in my opinion. It offers life a context 'pace' and 'time' that grounds one in a continuum of action that extends beyond the current vantage point (which can often be very narrow).
The whole notion of 'becoming an Ancestor' is on it's own a viable spiritual path. How to live in such a way that we are done and complete, leaving behind an auspicious legacy.
You're welcome my man, and thanks for listening as well. Yeah, the regret piece is interesting. Whenever I feel regret, I usually try to dissolve the underlying energetic charge, but HOLD onto the lesson it taught me.

That's a big yes for me.
Thanks for reading and commenting.
Thanks for sharing this story, it is moving. Yes closing the loops is important, and I know about the regrets of when not doing so.
