I just saw a post saying for you to be born you would have needed 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 great grandparents, 16 2X great grandparents, 32 3X great grandparents, 64 4X great grandparents, 128 5X great grandparents, 256 6X great grandparents, 512 7X great grandparents, 1024 8X great grandparents, 2048 9X great grandparents, 4096 10X great grandparents. 8192 11X great grandparents, 16384 12X great grandparents, 32768 13X great grandparents, 65,536 14X great grandparents, 131072 15X great grandparents- that's 17 generations. Thank about that!!! The accumulated total is 262,142 before you. If a generation is roughly 30 years, then 17 generations from you would be approximately 510 years. 510 years ago would be the year 1515. That's not really that long ago in the scheme of humanity. So, imagine the number if you got into BC time.
The reason I am making a post about this is because you are a make up of your ancestors. You probably were told growing up that you got some trait from your mom or some gene from your dad. But what if that trait and/or gene has really been passed down from your 15 X great grandparent? What if your lack of success in certain areas comes because of negative self talk your 14X great grandfather had? What if your self sabotage is because your 12X great grandfather thought he wasn't good enough? What if you can't get that job you want because your 18X great grandpa had trauma around not being able to feed his family. These are the types of things I call our blind spots.
Now let's say that each of these 262,142+ ancestors each passed something down, it's no wonder everyone is a "mess" today. But it can be cleaned up- and they want it cleaned up! But they don't have a body and so they can't do it. We get to be the cycle breakers. If you want to know what's been passed down to you, contact me! I would love to help. This picture is for fun, they are some of my ancestors.
