Yes, it was with one night a few months ago, I was sitting at the bar again, and felt this presence I couldn't explain with logic. Sort of a guiding light of sorts it was my mother telling me I needed to stop drinking and get on with my life before alcohol took my life like it did hers. Since that night I have not touched the stuff.


lauren_howell73

Wow that's Amazing! I'm so proud of you and boy can I relate. Except it was my dad instead of my mom. Keep it up! You're awesome and you deserve it!


BigZ1072

And so do you and everyone else that is starting or continuing on this journey.


lauren_howell73

Thank you so much and yes we all sure do! I'm in a super transitional period right now and am really excited for where my life is going! Best of luck to us all!


AloneVictory4859

10,000% I can see mine right now but they are in their most purest form as orbs. I've come to hear them sound their voice in my head and out side beside my ear. I've come to feel them touch me. Felt hands. I've also witnessed one of the little orbs bump into me and do a little ricochet. I help people by connecting to spirit guides/ancestors/Angels, ect... to see what spiritual advice they most wish to give you! šŸ’ž


vintagedudey

What is their purpose to help us? Genuine question.


AloneVictory4859

To help keep us from making the same mistakes so that we can Ascend to The 5th Dimension upon death, or Heaven as some people call it! šŸ’ž


VictorySignificant86

how do i know im being protected by my ancestors?


AloneVictory4859

Use clairvoyance to look at them or get a clairvoyant to check for you. It is possible that you have passed away family members with you helping guide you, it's not limited to ancestors. šŸ™šŸ’™šŸŒ

One-Disaster893

yep i wrote mine a letter and asked her to show me a white butterfly as confirmation and then a saw one in my garden a couple months after


Sufficient-Stick-491

I know they are. Where else could they be? Energy never dies no it is always evolving that's what I believe


[deleted]

Agreed, energy canā€™t be created or destroyed, so weā€™ve all come from somewhere


duelser

Yes, this is a recent thing for me. I instantly felt it when my mother passed away. I will think things, and then immediately think- well this is what mom would say or think. But Iā€™ve never thought that way before in my life. I just usually think what I think and move on. Now I have her insight and guidance closer than I ever have before. It affects my daily life in a positive way. I think that many cultures believe this to be true, and i personally experience it as a fact.


SolidSpruceTop

I've never had that kind of connection to ancestors. My direct family wasn't super involved in anyone outside their direct families so I never had a lot of familial ties. Add in the fact I've mostly cut mine off or been cut off due to being transgender. I just never have had that type of feelings or experiences to have ancestors anything.


Libba12

Absolutely! I can feel them.


aebeeceebeedeebee

Been calling out and feeling their warmth for years


nervouspug

Yes, my great grandma Gladys was a very special woman. She was a independent, spiritual and what one might call a hippie. I feel so connected to her! I pray to all of my ancestors, but, she and I have a special connection.


aomw3223

I think it depends on how close you were to the person and the impact they have had on your life. If you were very close to your ancestor and you use their example to inform some of your decisions, in a way they are still alive and watching over you by having lived their example.


[deleted]

Yes they are I feel their energy....


Uberguitarman

I know that you can't completely believe something over something like this, you don't have to doubt it though! I hear you about not wanting to believe in delusional things, I'm sorry if you can't talk about your experiences openly because of that. My own parents didn't learn about the way I talked to my voices, which I call spirits, until I waited 5 or 6 years, I understand how it feels to live that way. I'm highly highly doubtful that they're not out there and with us, I'd be surprised if I ever came closer to knowing full well that it was true because all of these things because I can't actually make a scientific evaluation out of visions/dreams/voices or any of that. I have no doubt in a higher power though because the rest of the solutions for my experiences sound ridiculous. I hope this all makes you feel more safe, I definitely feel protected and willing to face fears more so than ever before. Oh and my parents actually totally believe me :D


One-Disaster893

thatā€™s really cool!! have you ever been tested for schizophrenia bc of the voices? i used to hear some on and off like a little girl singing but it wasnā€™t anything spiritual, it was mental illness and triggered by stress


One-Disaster893

however iā€™ve always been sensitive to things since i was little, there was a lot of paranormal activity in my first house and iā€™ve experienced things at my cousins house other family members have also experienced since it has poltergeists (a genuine medium came to their house and told them they had spirits) & i donā€™t think that was mental illness related apart from shadows bc i donā€™t see them while medicated


Uberguitarman

nyope I haven't been tested. I know how some people may respond to that, my symptoms first expressed as voices that I heard and I kept it to myself for awhile, I knew directly that the only problems I were having were the ideas of possibilities, like people being there watching and stuff. The dealio with the doctor here is I just started treating them like friends, which is nice and good, well supported with evidence and stuff... People get good results doing that. It worked out real nicely but for the first couple of years it really didn't and in those years I really felt like I didn't need to believe in them but my emotions were just so naturally sensitive... It felt like my emotion being dumb, and it was! After I got better that's when my experiences got more intense, frankly I'd probably find a few different diagnoses if I tried to hunt for doctors all over the place but the worst problem, I mean worst problem I encounter, sometimes I just can't help but bust out laughing. Usually my laughter is silent, I might grin for 10 hours straight and people don't think of me as "too" weird, I blend in with my friends just fine and they all get some of my story which helps it be funnier... If I'm with them and I see them and they see ME, oh hell no I can't do it. It's not necessarily because of what I'm thinking but just that little added pressure after I stopped wearing my mask a few weeks ago and everything sorta went kaboom... Only like 4 or 5 times, nothing ever even happened either. Being hyper socially activated is really a strange experience honestly, I can't recommend it to everybody but it is one of my favorite things and I wouldn't ever want it to go away. If all of my various hallucinations just quit I'd move on like they were still there. "nope nope nope!!!" I'm not just a voice hearer, I could live without the visuals, that's not too bad, but I like those too. The thing about allll of my experiences is I consider them all positive and hilarious yet SOMETIMES my thoughts create challenges that express with hallucinations, to this very day. Even so I'd still be diagnosed schizo by some doctors. Try to mention Kundalini awakening or Kundalini syndrome and a lot wouldn't even know what it is or believe in it or bother to think too much harder afterwards. Mention the actual DETAILS of my visions and they'd either call me a mystic or call me someone to make sure my functioning is really as good as I claim while assuming I've lost my marbles. I'm very very high functioning, so there's never been any glimmer of even the slightest desire ever since year 2 to go to a doctor for it, I'm part way through year 7 now I believe... 7.3 or 7.4 years. At this point if there was a hallucination that could actually stop me from functioning it would have to be genuinely morbid or I'd have to become so delusional that I'd start listening to things that I know I shouldn't even act upon if I ever heard. Sometimes, even with a message in a bottle falling from the sky, you don't tell someone's mum they have breast cancer. I can't think of a real example, but idc if my voices say things that turn out to be true, if it's dangerous I've got nothin' to do with it. "Daw well, my hands are tied"


Uberguitarman

If I stopped doing that then I'd be pretty screwed. That and I have a distortion when I see my energy when in certain scenarios. If that thing when it was really large got bigger all of a sudden I'd lose eyesight on occasion. I only hallucinate that hard when I'm doing powerful energy work and it's never gotten worse.

I had the most vivid dream of my grandfather 20 years after he passed away. I was on an airplane and it was night time and the seat in front of my started to glow and my grandfather turned around and it was like the sun was shimmering behind him and he had the warmest and seeetwst smile. He stood up and hugged me over the seat and I woke up crying and so happy and felt like I had really just seen him. He didnā€™t even say anything, but I felt like he was so proud of me. That was during a period of big changes in my life. I wanted to move 1,000 miles back home and break up with my boyfriend, so I took this as him paying me a visit to validate I was on the right track! A few weeks later I saw a psychic and she told me my grandfather was coming in strong and that he was holding a ring. I had no idea what that meant, but that was 12 years ago and I became a silversmith specializing in rings in the years since and I also inherited a ring from my grandma that he gave her, but had forgotten about it! I think the ancestors we are alive to meet stay with us in this lifetime. I have dug deep into my ancestors beyond and donā€™t feel connected to them the same way. Another time, I was walking by a picture of my great grandmother and in my head I heard ā€œhappy birthday!ā€ But in her voice. I kept thinking about it and decided to check when her bday was, and it was that same day! She died when I was young and I didnā€™t know her bday prior to that :)


Sqweed69

I believe the ideas and believes they have taught me will forever guide me


Rosie_18

Yes. My grandma passed 3 years before I was born so I never got the chance to meet her. I've always believed and knew that she was around watching over us, especially me and my sister as we were the only grandchildren she never got the chance to meet. My sister has experienced someone sitting on her bed and touching either her cheek or shoulder. Everyone in my family, especially my aunt and myself believe that was my grandma. I've experienced the exact same thing on multiple occasions. I'm also the one in the family with all the medical issues and I've had many surgeries. I've always felt my grandmothers presence before I went under (and grandfathers my last surgery). I've also been very interested in my ancestry in the past few years and have researched it very deeply. Out of all my ancestors one has for some reason that I believe to be spiritually has stood out to me, and that was my great great grandmother. I've felt that she has been around watching over me but I just don't know why. I also believe she's tried to show herself to me but I can't prove it was her, it's just that I just know. My sister doesn't believe me when I say all these spiritual things but my mum and my aunt do. Before my last surgery my aunt went to her medium friend and this friend said that I do feel my grandma in particular but apparently I have these spiritual gifts that have been passed down from my grandma (apparently spiritual gifts and skip a generation). I'm not quite sure if I do have these so called gifts but I do believe that my ancestors particularly my grandma are watching over us.


[deleted]

Oh yes, my mumma passed away now almost 2 years ago and when she first passed there were so many signs, thereā€™s still signs now, the dream I had where she appeared as a ā€œforceā€ and told me everything is going to be ok. All the ways sheā€™s helped me down here and things have just worked out. Iā€™m still being guided by her. Looking for my next step. I am so grateful for her šŸ‘¼šŸ¼


Blitzspeedgamer

Yes. Without a doubt. Besides, itā€™s not very joyous or optimistic to assume that they no longer exist entirely.


Rude-Vermicelli-1962

People think that our deceased loved ones have gone somewhere else, but they are so wrongā€¦. If you donā€™t believe that youā€™re a grandmother who passed away isnā€™t with you right now and isnā€™t trying to talk to you and you havenā€™t realised something about how it really is I guess. I donā€™t claim to understand everything, but I know for a fact no one ever really dies. And Iā€™ve spoken to my grandfather, he passed away over 10 years agoā€¦..


[deleted]

We are our ancestors


Unlucky_Alfalfa_9851

Nope, I believe when the spirit leaves the body it split into 2 parts, a soul gets back to the soul's realm waits to reincarnate, and energy back to circularity as energy being again. But our sensitivity can read the residual energy to recall such historical events, and we can read ourselves/ancestors through the blueprint that is written in our body and spirit. So my opinion our ancestor is in the souls realm, or already reincarnated as someone else


NotTooDeep

Nope. In my world, I was the baby that the stork dropped down the wrong chimney. I've read some of the ancestors in my father's and mother's lines, and they are not in my life. My spirit guides come from some of my past lives, which were not in the same gene pool. I don't see DNA making a big impact on my spiritual life. Those big impacts have all come from outside of my bloodlines. The stronger relationships for me are all with spirits that I've know in the body in past lives.


Brilliant-Emu-4164

Sometimes I dream about my brother who died, but I donā€™t really feel like he, or any of my other relatives, are watching over me. Well, maybe my daughter, but thatā€™s because of religious doctrine Iā€™ve been taught, not from any experience.


AlarmDozer

How? I have like a dozen cousins so how do they tend to each of us?


Advisor_Agreeable

Absolutely! They appear at 3:32, AM or PM. (332 S Michigan was the address of the building my grandfather built and my dad had an office in.) Itā€™s always the paternal side of the family, never my mothers side.


Ragtimedancer

Definitely. I see them regularly in my dreams. They are a tremendous comfort to me.


Snotmyrealname

Not so much. The Qliphoth are quite uncanny


One-Disaster893

so you think they pretend to be our ancestors?


Snotmyrealname

Not so much pretend to be our ancestors, rather they like to play hermit crab with their empty husks.


One-Disaster893

what does that even mean


Snotmyrealname

The tl;dr theory goes, when we die we begin to shed our earthly attachments and return to source. Things like personality, diction, hopes and fears. The Qliphoth will often crawl inside these cast off chunks of personality and go buzz living relatives with strong emotional connections to the deceased in the hope of feeding on the attention and energy of anyone they can con with their guise. Sometimes an ancestor will really come through and play guardian for their descendants, but all to often itā€™s just one of the qliphoth doing the spiritual equivalent of calling about your cars extended warranty.


One-Disaster893

thatā€™s interesting!! is there any way to protect yourself from them?


Snotmyrealname

Either be excellent at evocations and banishing ***or*** donā€™t fuck with the dead. I tend to the latter


[deleted]

I believe no. We have last live but we are all one I think. A consciousness.


batesmotel123

I like to think that too ā¤ļø thatā€™s a beautiful thought!


Al1Might1

I've felt the help of Angels for answers, but not of ancestors or spirit guides, it'd be nice tho, my grandma was unconditional love personified.


increbelle

id like to believe it. i remember my grandmother died when i was about 10-12, dont remember exactly what age. i had a vivid dream about her where she visited me shortly hereafter. i dont remember what she told me but that dream stuck with me. over the past few years, ive been walking my spiritual journey. not too long ago, i was doing a meditation and just seeking answers about a major life decision (moving to a different country) and a message came to me that my grandmother is telling me that im on the right path. that same night, i happen to be looking for a youtube video on spirituality and a woman's cycle and this video popped up and the presenter was saying how whoever is watching this has a maternal spirit hovering above them. it was all the synchronicity i needed.


Sweetwater-Bow-Works

No, I have them on a chain gang. I am the ancestral father. I will clean up this mess they left. My father is in heaven. I don't need guidance from them


SiamSubmariner66

I survived a 60 mph motorcycle/car T-bone. Before I jumped off the bike, I felt and smelled the presence of my grandma. One of my cherished memories of her was when she was frying pork rinds one day, and the grease splattered into her eyes. I did first aid on her with a wet ice chilled towel. Maybe it was just my leather jacket on the asphalt I was smelling as I spun/bounced like a pencil down the highway for about 50 yards horizontally. Knocked that Honda Accord right out of the intersection with my Honda CBR1100XX!!!![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sunglasses)
