Excerpts:
**********
Basque, French & Apache Indian on mom's
side (chiracahua)
my mother's grandmother was a professional medicine woman (bruja) in Los
Angeles in the nineteenth century (fascinating bits of folklore...)
**********
... these recent posts remind me of a meeting I had with a powerful psychic
in South india. While we chatted he mentioned that the huge population in
India is because lots of souls choose to incarnate in India to go through a
more varied range of experience...you go through more here per lifetime than
most other places.
***********
I also have a theory that most people drawn to Kundalini experiences
probably had a past life or three in India, or at least in a Hindu
society. I remember back in 1979, the first time I entered the Hindu
Temple in Flushing. I stood in front of the <murthi> of Lord Ganesha,
and lost consciousness for about 20 minutes. When I regained my senses,
I was still standing, but my face was wet with tears and I had the
feeling I had finally "come home."

My mystical side appears to have come from my father's line, whose Scotch
heritage was begun by a Hungarian gentleman in the 1400's. I guess it takes
a really long time to thin out that Hungarian gypsy blood, because my
grandmother was an avid follower of astrology and other metaphysical
subjects, and she had an uncle who was well known for being able to levitate
the furniture! :-)
*********
Interesting that folks are also talking about their ancestors and about
feeling that additional groups are "their people." I come from a long line
of religious dissidents. The first that I know about was hung in 1666 for
rebelling against the Ch. of England. I myself converted to Judaism because
of how powerfully that connection pulled me.
*********
I know the closest family talks have been... all about spirit, UFO's,
strange happenings all around us. My grandpa could light a lite bulb
in his mouth and was also an inventor, he had alot of Cherokee Indian in
him.
My sister is a prostitute and drug addict with an outregous sense of humor
...but the bizarre things that happen when you are with her a[re] baffling.
Thru her laughter... time, people and machines alter. So which Nationality
is she using of our 7...
Anyway maybe it runs in families, and not Nationalities.
Maybe we all do it ...just that some Nationalities are more apt to talk
about it!!!

there is a
charactor in our scottish clan known as the "wizard" ;). Funny.
*********
I had only one past-life memory...I witnessed a war where many children
died. The word "kiva" came to me very strong. I looked it up the next day
and found that kivas were ceremonial huts used by the Anasazi Indians, the
ancestors of the Pueblos. Anasazis were known for their beautiful pottery,
which is funny to me because I'm a potter. So, I'm convinced I must have
lived as an Anasazi Indian.
My ansectors are Irish, Dutch, & American Indian. I think my mystical side
relates to my mother's family. They are from Kentucky and have Melungeon
roots. Melungeons were the mountain gypsies, dark-skinned people. No one is
sure where they came from.
On Dad's side, my Irish-Catholic Grandmother had K-like experiences of
seeing the devil and groups of angels. Unfortunately, they "cured" this by
giving her electric shock treatments to the brain (this was in the 1950s).
Sometimes I wonder if she had K or not. She's gone now so I guess I'll never
know.
**********
I am one of the silent listeners on this list. I come from South India, from
Tamilnadu, that is as far as my ancestory goes.
*********
My father's ancestors were nomads on the steppes of west Asia.
My mother's were from the Black Forest area in Germany.
Both were born in the US but their parents were from the respective
countries. Generations before that were quite the travellers. Small
wonder I can never stay in one place.
When I meditate I get clear pictures of the past....usually it is images
and thoughts/feelings firsthand from my ancestors. I often hear people
speaking, and then I realize that in this image, the person speaking is
"me", but my intuition tells me it's actually someone else and I am
simply hearing and feeling what they heard and felt.
I think heritage has a place in helping set a "starting point" for
kundalini activity. It also plays into the relative ease or difficulty
of taking the kundalini gift to the next level. Heritage is one of
perhaps a hundred variables, but it is surely one.
*******
I am an American born and raised. This is what
I've been told. My strongest ties to my past is through my grandmothers
wisdom and belives from her ancestry from the charokee indians. She
instilled so much belief in all things that we cannot see or hear but feel in
our heart. I remember questioning some of the old wise tales shrugged off by
disbelievers and instilled so deeply that I too almost lost this precious
gift.
END Thanks everyone!
Love, Hillary

Wim wrote sometime back: Any more Dutch people on the list or some Dutch
descent?
Dear list,
I was wondering if heritage has an effect on whether we are more likely to
become K active. I know there are a number of people here of both Dutch and
Irish descent.
So my question is, where do you or your family come from?
(I'm half Irish and at least a quarter Scottish.)
Love, Hillary
