my need to feel free and the need to feel the breeze,

a new experience to carry inside my journey,
a sense of belonging to a familiar tribe,
a brotherhood that goes beyond a bloodline.”
― Jess "Chief" Brynjulson, Highway Writings

“All pre-Abrahamic cultures understood the tremendous importance of remaining closely connected to the past if the present was to be invested with any spiritually significant meaning. They also understood that the most personally relevant and accessible portal to the empowering wisdom and goodness of the past was through their own direct ancestors, those who shared their particular bloodline and DNA. It was for this reason that all traditional cultures engaged in what is often called ancestor worship (pitri-puja). There is no pre-Abrahamic culture on Earth that did not honor its ancestors in one form or another. This is a very important spiritual practice and tradition that used to be practiced universally by families in the ancient past. The process of ancestor worship now needs to be revived in the modern world if we are to not lose our sacred connection with our own cultural-spiritual heritage. Ancestor worship must become a regular practice again.”
― Dharma Pravartaka Acharya

“Not prayer nor Bible verse, nor scholarship nor wit, nor grant under seal nor statute law can alter the fact of villain blood. Not all his craft and guile can make him a Howard, or a Cheney, or a Fitzwilliam, a Stanley or even a Seymour: not even in an emergency.”

“Factors Influencing Us as Empaths
There are a number of factors affecting how we pick up energy from other people:
● Receiving
Our sensitivity as receivers will factor into how much energy we pick up.
● Sending
Some people transmit their energy more strongly than others, and the depth of the emotions that they are experiencing will also turn up the volume that they are sending out.
● Awareness
The unaware person may be just as sensitive as the aware person. The latter will understand why they have mood swings; the former will not.
● Bloodline
Blood relatives will affect us regardless of where in the world we are and whether we are thinking about them or not. The link between sender and receiver is often stronger where there is a blood connection. Often, empath children may process the emotions of their parents or siblings long into adulthood.
● Emotional Connection
Friends and acquaintances will impact us primarily based on the strength of the emotional connection we have to them, largely without regard to physical proximity. The stronger the emotional connection is, the less important the physical proximity is. Having worked from home for many years with teams spread all over the country, I have picked up energy from managers and teammates regardless of location.
● Physical Proximity
Neighbors and strangers will influence us based on physical proximity. This is true for the people living in our neighborhood and the strangers we brush up against in the shopping mall.”
― Trevor N. Lewis, Abbigayle McKinney

“Everyone wants to procreate, have a miniature version of themselves running around, to carry on the family line.”

“Maintaining the bloodline keeps the knowledge. It’s so the knowledge was kept alive in a physical way…. We were able to maintain the purity of the message and not be corrupted … or destroyed.”
― Reena Kumarasingham, Divine Consciousness: The Secret Story of James The Brother of Jesus, St Paul and the Early Christian Church

“Every generational revolution creates three types of people, Billionaires, Millionaires, and Witnesses. Don't be the latter. Be the most formidable force your bloodline has ever seen. Godspeed.”
― Emmanuel Apetsi

“The failure to recognize and uproot the weeds
that sprout from our bloodline or the consequences of our sins will allow them to choke the fruit we are supposed to bear.”
― Tiffani Davis, Change Is Coming: Faith To Face The Inevitable

“Moronation Street (Sonnet 1013)

Nationalism is modern cannibalism,
As such nationalism is terrorism.
Royalty is an act of crime,
Obsessive Bloodline Disorder is clinical barbarism.
Character and excellence are the measure of life,
Not some cavemen constructs of blood and borders.
When the I disappears and the world appears,
That's when the animal disappears and the human appears.
Fundamentalism is the antithesis of religion,
For religion oughta bring inclusion not division.
Nationalism is the desecration of a nation's humane identity,
Each nation's security is predicated on collective ascension.
Enough with the coronation of morons -
enough with moronation!
Beyond blood and border await the streets of civilization.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Centurion Sermon: Mental Por El Mundo

“Le cœur de la jeune femme tambourinait dans sa poitrine. Relâchant son poignet gauche, le duc effleura son menton avec une douceur inquiétante.

― Olivia Gometz, Les Carmidor : Trahir et Survivre

“Il n'est nulle gloire sans nom.”

“Mom, how are we originem? How are they not all gone?" I asked.
"One lived," Mom said. "You several-times-great-grandmother. There was a nasty feud, but Rowena made her escape from the final, horrendous battle. She vowed to dilute the blood. Live as a normal witch, conceal our origin. We couldn't let ourselves have children with another witch or a warlock or any other being of power for that matter. In theory, we would eventually be safe enough to live our lives without the fear once the magic was diluted."
"But it didn't, did it?" Ryker asked from behind me.
Mom turned Eliza's head to study Ryker. She nodded and looked back down at me. "No, it didn't work. You don't have much power on your own, my heart. If you've been trying spellwork it probably went awry, didn't it?"
I nodded. "How did you do it? I watched your work for hours and it never went wrong."
"Blood, my heart. The only spellwork I did was what I had to mix and add and brew, and as it finished I would add blood. Even a drop will do. That is the way of our power."
"The smell of originem on Dani is as strong as it was before your coven died out," Ryker said.
"A mistake that we each found out too late. Once I became one with The Book of Sisters, it became clear. The power could in theory be diluted, but not the blood. Never our blood.”
― Sabrina Blackburry, Dirty Lying Dragons

“If bloodline dictated destiny,
We'd still be dangling from trees.
Not that we've done much better,
But at least there is possibility.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Visvavatan: 100 Demilitarization Sonnets
