Ancestral Ghosts
Ancestral ghosts can take on almost any
form, from dreams and waking sightings to smells and sounds. The bonds between
family members seem to be able to surpass many of the known restrictions to retreiving
unconscious information.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Conception:
It would seem that through history, perhaps
before writing had become the preferred and known method of passing down information after
death, humans were at times forced to use a more abstract and seemingly more random way of
communication. We see the ghosts of ancestors in most cases being the bearers of
some type of news or information that pertains directly to the particpants involved.
Initially conceived in our own life
experiences and memory, these ghosts fall into a little understood realm of the human
psyche. We ourselves during life are making our own ghosts to pass on to our
ancestors. The lessons we learn and are too important to forget are carried
genetically to our offspring as forms and symbols perhaps even whole images that need time
to be understood. It is only later in life that most people are able to contribute
and be a valued member of the ancestral community. Some aspects of personality may
be an overt manifestation of this. Just as we see characteristic traits that define
certain families in a very physical manner, these types of ghosts define a family on a
spiritual level.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Composition:
The ghosts of our ancestors are composed
mainly from our own brain and manifest through perceived projections of thought and sound.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Conditions:
In short there is no pre-set outline of
known conditions that cause family ghosts to manifest. Usually some situation has come to
light, this situation could be as simple as how to properly cook a certain meal or as
stressful as the death of another family member. In many instances however when
ghosts of our ancestors wish to contact us they do have more purpose than a simple
receipe, though it is not unheard of.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Manifestations:
Ancestral ghosts manifest in nearly any form
imaginable and seem to cut across the full spectrum of ghostly attributes. The
ghosts of family are known to manifest as audible aounds, as full and alive looking
humans, as smells, as balls of light, in dreams.

Identify the Participants:
The primary participant in this type of
event is the human experiencer.
