COLLECTIVE MEMORY OF OUR ANCESTORS IN OUR BLOOD
KZN… Kwaze kwamnandi ukuba sekhaya! 😍 KwaZulu 🙌…
Anyway, I have been thinking a lot about healing processes, precisely why certain healing methods work for some and not for others. Then the chit-chat voices in my head were going on about the collective memory of a bloodline
Uthi UMkhulu…it has to do with the Collective Memory of a bloodline, imprinted in its DNA and carried through its generations. So effective healing programmes must consider the history of diseases (physical, mental and spiritual) that might have been present in the family. How they were dealt with etc. What was the accepted method of practice and alchemy.
In your DNA runs the collective memory of your ancestors.
Meaning your ancestors’ experiences, including they triumphs, trauma and even their perspective and ideologies about life, religion and holistic being, are passed through to future generations. Passed through to you! So too shall your memory be passed on to your kids. Uzwe kuthiwa uhlakaniphile noma ucebile ufuze or kuvuke uGogo wakhe uPhathiwe noma usbanibani wenzisa noma ucabangisa kuka Mkhulu ntazinga!!! Uzwe kuthiwa ulimala njalo unozibani ufunze uHheshe noma ubani uthathe igazi elibi lokungathandeki likabani.
Oh, and please note that when I say this I have zero concern about western science and its jargon about proof of such imprints on the human genome. In Africa when we say “DNA” we mean tangible blood of course, plus spirit and spiritual experiences we incur that might seem hereditary. In Africa, we believe that we journey with our ancestors in this life or they carry us on their shoulders rather. For example when someone says ‘this family’s blood is bad’ , they mean there is a recurring problem that affects every generation and one that has been normalized to that family. So that disease becomes part of their being and must be dealt with in a nuanced way.
So, if a person has a spiritual visitation from a deaseased spirit – sick in whatever way, mentally, physically or emotionally, how you heal that patient must employ methods which that spirit will recognize as legitimate ways to deal with their problem.
Meaning as a healer you must be versatile, catering for and being in sync with the Collective Memory of your patient’s ancestry that continue to journey life with them.
That is why it is crucial to look into your lineage first, before embarking on any form of healing therapy. UNGATATAZELI!!! Also ne patient drill it into their head ukuthi behlise amatomu! Ukuqina ekwelapheni is very dangerous. Pray and listen ukuthi lomuntu ogulisa I patient yakho ungubani. Mudonse le emnyombeni wakhe. Uthole wakhulelaphi. Yini inkinga. How can they be assisted. What medications work for that kind of person.
On the medical front, for those with diseases that need clinical attention for example, meds don’t work the same on everybody. There are people who can be given intalibombo (to name one blood medicine) whilst others can’t. Intalibombo clots blood. So uthole ukuthi omunye ogula ngegazi ngandlela thizeni abakwazi ukuyisebenzisa ngoba futhi emlandweni kunesalukazi esafa ngamahluli futhi iso lesi esesihlupha lomuntu. Wena umuphe intalibombo. Uyo clot lomuntu afe. But omunye umuntu ongenayo leyo history but onenkinga yokopha kakhulu umnike aphile qingqo. Umuntu onegazi lomlungu kwi family nje no muntu omnyama for example abakwazi ukuphuza iqwaningi nge doze efanayo ngoba elomlungu igazi liba weak kakhulu! Small examples nje.
On the spiritual front for example….
Say you need to be initiated – to thwasa – and you just dive into isinguni method of thwasaring. Then it becomes unsuccessful. You try to uncover the issue only to find that you need basotho impepho, to be initiated in a cave etc because the Ancestors that are coming forth ngabe Sotho, sewumoshe your time wenza izinto ngesinguni or isindawe. Yeyi ugade ungafi 🙆🏽♀️
Anyway, these posts just come from conversations with my team every morning before we work where we just discuss various spiritual concepts…. ngidlala uGogo Hlengiwe always asking me to share my thoughts online, when all I just want to do my duty and work.
Umusa kuwe nabakini wherever you may be..
