To journey into our mother’s and our father’s respective lineages can be unnerving, to say the least. Such a process challenges some of our fundamental views of our individual self.

Many of us have grown up believing that to become a fully realized human being we must differentiate ourselves from our parents and “strike out” on our own. This cultural myth includes assumptions about free will, individuation, separation, and self-reliance—core beliefs of the self-realization movement. Yet, these tenets of emotional and psychological maturity have helped push modern civilization to the brink of disconnection from our ancestors. This urge to leave the nest, to break away from old beliefs that hold us in place, affects everyone regardless of social or economic circumstances. If we’re lucky, we mature, and a new perspective forms. We gain appreciation for our parents, grandparents, and ancestors who have paved the way for us. If not, we stay stuck in the attitudes of blame and victimhood, which keep us small and fearful, and often lead to defensiveness towards others.

Many people spend whole lifetimes searching unconsciously for the meaning of why things happened in their lives or in their ancestors’ lives. The answers to these questions remain elusive, or at best, rationalized on the mental plane of consciousness, but these “answers” and narratives do not bring peace within. On one hand, we feel free to do as we wish, to be different from those who have come before us. On the other hand, we are never truly free from the ancestral field in which we were born.

The particle is not separate from the field. The field determines everything. If you wish to understand the movement of the particle you must study and understand the field.

—Albert Einstein, physicist

We are merely a particle as Einstein tells us, part of an immense energy field that determines everything. Our movement, the direction of our life, the partners and careers we choose, even the illness and disease that occur in our lives are determined by this powerful field that influences us at the deepest levels of our unconscious being. If we want to truly know and understand ourselves, it is important to study and understand the influence of the Family Energy Field.
