But are we? Actually, according to different spiritual traditions, we\u2019re never alone and there\u2019s more to reality than we can fathom.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Among those who claim the connectedness of all things we find the yogis of India, along with an even older tradition of spiritual scientists, the <em>Tamil Siddha<\/em> masters.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>The Siddhas and yogis believe that our ancestors have never left us. You might not remember your great-grandmother, for example, but she hasn\u2019t forgotten you\u2014for better or worse.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Dr. Pillai, a Tamil Siddha master, explains that a great majority of souls are not at peace after death and they desperately need our prayers\u2014better yet, they need some specific steps for liberation or <em>Tarpanam<\/em>, as the ancient spiritual scientists of India taught.<\/p>\n<p>When the ancestors suffer, they can have a negative influence on our thoughts and disrupt our lives.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Pillai said that the ancient practice of Tarpanam is returning now, because it\u2019s sorely needed to heal both humanity and departed souls. And he calls the unending connection between our souls and our ancestors\u2014<em>Soul Genetics.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cSoul Genetics will have a major role in the sciences of the Golden Age.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2ea3f2; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Scientific Findings on Inherited Phobias<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Research at the Emory University School of Medicine, in Atlanta, proved that mice could pass stressful experiences and past trauma to the next generation.<\/p>\n<p>Because identical phobias can also be found among several generations of humans, researchers now believe that stress can be inherited from the ancestors.<\/p>\n<p>Because of these findings, scientists think that memory could be stored within the DNA. <em>P<\/em><em>rofessor Marcus Pembrey<\/em>, a pediatric geneticist at University College London, said this study is &#8220;compelling evidence&#8221; for the biological transmission of memory.<\/p>\n<p>The ancestors are said to think for us and when they evolve their positive influence is reflected in our thoughts.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2ea3f2; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Spiritual Science<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>When the ancestors are pacified through Tarpanam, they bless their descendants. You may notice that destructive habits or addictions disappear. Their blessings are said to come through positive thoughts and positive experiences.<\/p>\n<p><em>Barbara Fredrickson<\/em>, a positive psychology researcher at the University of North Carolina, believes that positive thinking [positively] impacts our skills. In a published paper, she also said: \u201cThe personal resources accrued, often unintentionally, through frequent experiences of positive emotions are posited to be keys to later increases in well-being\u2026positive emotions widen people\u2019s outlooks in ways that, little by little, reshape who they are.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the Siddhas and Dr. Pillai, we create our lives from our thought process or mindset. Modern psychologists, spiritualists and yogis agree.<\/p>\n<p>But here\u2019s the catch: according to yogis and Siddhas, we aren\u2019t the creators of our thoughts\u2014at least not entirely.<\/p>\n<p>The sources of your mindset can vary from planets in charge of bringing you the results of your thinking patterns (or <em>karma),<\/em> to another database collecting your ancestors\u2019 thoughts. And\u2014our ancestral families are believed to return periodically during special times created by the interactions of the Sun with the Moon, and especially during the new moon phases.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-7309 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pillaicenter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/2-3-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"2\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2ea3f2; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>Mahalaya, the Special Time for Ancestor Rituals<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>A prolonged period when our ancestors visit us is <em>Mahalaya<\/em>, the Indian name for a 15-day period dedicated solely to ancestral worship (Sept. 16 \u2013 Sept. 30, 2016).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The yogis believe that much good can come to you from developing a good relationship with your ancestors by performing or sponsoring Tarpanam during this time.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of your prior relationship with your departed ancestors, when you help them evolve through a traditional ritual\u2014<em>Tarpanam<\/em>\u2014a set of special offerings, your ancestors acquire the power to help you succeed in all areas of your life.<\/p>\n<p>Accounts of positive outcomes span from relationship miracles, to healings, to financial windfalls, and more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The dynamics of this reciprocal process can be found in all living things, say again the yogis\u2014even between humans and Gods (or archetypes), the benevolent light beings who help humanity from other dimensions.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #2ea3f2;\"><strong>Try this<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dr.Pillai said that you can contact your ancestors during Malaya (also called <em>Pitri Paksha<\/em>) by putting their photos next to your bed.
