Look behind you

The title "look behind you" is because that's where you have come. It has a deeper meaning than just looking. What I am saying is we're all from millions of beings with whom we call ancestors, and we tend not to look back at them - or if we're lucky, we just look some hundred years or so maybe our great grandparents. Well, I live in my own dream world too, I did not know my grandparents - well one of them my granddad and he died when I was eleven or was it twelve ...

I have always wished I knew them, I have a picture of my great grandparents and often wonder what they were like, although true to say one day some years back my great grandmother appeared to me as I was sitting in my front room and gave me such a lovely smile! My grandparents on my father's side came from a small village in the Ukraine and were Jewish, and were in fact- so I was told killed - in a pogrom as indeed many Jews were killed at that time, but when you travel back through the ages there comes a time when we all must meet up somewhere, for none of us come from a long line of anything really, whatever race or religion you are, perhaps indeed we all do come from Africa but I doubt it .

What set me up on this little journey of mine? Well I am as the saying goes, getting on a bit now (in my seventies) and have done a bit, been there, done that! Went to sea as a boy, got fed up with that when I had done nearly three years so joined the army, did three years in that, went back to sea again, got married, went to Au's Land, stayed there for three years, came back. I wanted to go to the States but alas poor me I was grounded and so eventually I got into meditation and healing, and that is where my story really begins because that is where I started to look back through time, and it started like this...

I joined a class in meditation and one day our teacher took us in regression and I found myself back in the Desert and that got me thinking of ABRAHAM who as the old testament says went into the desert with his wife. I have a foundness for old Abraham, I think he was one of my ancestors. I like to think so, he did his own thing, took off and went walk about and if that book is right he was pretty active with the maid when he was in his Eighties, wow lucky man! Must of been that pure desert air! But alas, that was only some four thousand years ago, not even a blink in time when you start thinking in terms of billions of years, and how long have we really been around anyway? Try to work out in a thousand years how many direct desendants do we have, works out to millions, so I am told, so perhaps it is worth reflecting on looking back a bit and give some time to those who came before, for we are part of them and them us .
