What I Am Going Through Today Has Something To Do With My Ancestors

Absurd, right?

I thought so too just a couple of years back. It is odd that something my ancestors or my lineage could have done or experienced that would eventually harm me. Or I turn out to have the same experience as my ancestors (and likely unpleasant experiences). It becomes impractical because science cannot and does not explain any such possibility. What is wrong with me is because of what is wrong with me. Period.

Any practical person will think in this manner, and I would have concurred with this in the recent past. This generational stuff is even more absurd to comprehend when the woke ideologies tend to use this to whitewash their ridiculous claims. Because of that, I find it hard to digest that any concept that has to do with my lineage affecting me could be true. It is out of the realm of possibility. And yet, I had to change my opinion eventually.

Why? What changed?

Here’s What Changed | My Inability to Deal With the Problem

In my earlier articles, I had mentioned that I had gone through depression, which is an odd experience, especially when I was (and still am) an energy exercise practitioner for the past fifteen years. Energy exercises are a form of clearing the mind and body of unwanted thoughts and experiences, thereby allowing us to go through life without unnecessary friction. Some of the energy exercises I practiced were Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), and Ho'oponopono, to name a few. But I was living a contradiction. Either one of the above had to be false. Either I did not know energy exercises well, or I never had depression. But here I was, an energy exercise practitioner, drowning in depression.

One of the known facts in the energy exercise world is that a recurring problem that does not get neutralized tends to have a root cause that we have not unearthed yet or not dug out properly. In such situations, we may need a third party to look at us or look at our problem and suggest what is wrong. This could be someone known to us, a friend, our spouse, or a counsellor. In my case, it was all three.

Starting with my wife, who saw me struggling, called up my friend to come and help (since I wasn't listening to her). My friend came, spoke to me, and then suggested the counsellor. With the counsellor's intervention is where I started seeing blind spots. Things I couldn't have seen myself about me. And one of the things was generational trauma.

Generational Trauma? | Still Not Convinced That This Was True

One of the traits that got me into depression was my stubbornness to avoid help. If that was not bad enough, even with the help the counsellor provided, I wasn’t keen to look at the possibility of generational hurt (trauma). It just wasn’t scientific, despite my counsellor sounding very scientific. I think my counsellor saw through my stubbornness and allowed me to self-discover this part.

And how did she do that? She recommended that I read a book. And I took homework (😉) quite seriously. I obliged. The book was “It Didn’t Start With You” by Mark Wolynn. Despite my skepticism, I went ahead. I was always pro-acceptance once proof was presented. A book from a verified source is definitely proof. Heck, just fifteen years back, when I started with EFT, I had to be convinced that it worked. Why? Because science does not believe in energy exercises. But once I saw the science (yes, there is science), I was sold on the concept.

In this case, the book started to make sense. The author does have scientific backing for what he states at every stage of the book. And with that, I started using energy exercises for generational hurt/trauma, and surprisingly, it worked. A problem that had never got sorted earlier was getting neutralized in a jiffy. And these problems or issues in my life were because of nothing I did, but what my ancestors did or experienced. How odd is that?

And with that, my eyes opened to another area of human life and evolution. Who would have thought!

Generational Trauma | Generational Curse | You Bet There Is Something To It

While clearing the generational pile-up in my life, I coincidentally recognized why I was averse to acknowledging this reality earlier. The reason was the woke bullshit (pardon me, if I hurt your feelings. I recommend you keep your feelings aside.) that was loosely using the term "generational" to twist the truth. This is what makes people like you and me skeptical of the authenticity of generational hurt.

I haven’t touched upon generational curse, and that requires an even bigger arsenal. If generational hurt requires a bazooka, then generational curse requires intercontinental ballistic missiles. For the generational curse, you and I require the generation Creator – God. And I am happy to admit that with God’s intervention generational curse got handled pretty well in my life.

So, to all my skeptical friends out there - generational trauma, generational curse, energy exercises, a great wife, a good friend, a dependable counsellor, and God above all - is a good mix to find salvation (or at least, a solution) from our troubles. It worked for me, and I am sure it would work for you. While I am quite a long way ahead from where I was two years back, I am awaiting input from my counsellor to concur. I feel that depression is not bothering me anymore, but like my counsellor would say, people outside us can see us better at times. It doesn’t hurt to take their opinion. So, I will wait for that opinion and feedback before I announce complete liberation from depression. 😊

Also, a side note: At a point in my life, I decided to journey without God. That was my first mistake. I got into depression because of the wrong guidance (When God is not guiding, the ungodly will take God’s place) and the erroneous path I took. I suggest (STRONGLY) to never leave God’s side. Maybe then you won’t have to worry about troubles or generational hurts anymore. That’s the easiest way to handle life. Get going with God. Jesus Christ saved me, and I hope he blesses you too!!
