There are documents and papers that you put away in the bottom of a drawer or a box (or a hard drive) and you forget them for so long that when you put your hands and eyes on them again, they seem they do not belong to you anymore. They are so strange, so foreign, so far from us in time and in space; they have become detached from our stories. When we take the time to examine them it's like we meet the cashier from the supermarket, we know we know them but we can't really place them. We almost need the spatial aspect together with the time. We need to put them back in time and space...
And then, if you look at them (people, objects, papers) a little longer, a little deeper, like a memory bubble, information explodes in your hands, blows off like a ticking bomb. Sometimes, even, they bring a totally new information. Something that was hidden to you until now. But the information was there all along. We were not able to collect it simply.
I am rediscovering today a drawing that has been dormant in a folder on my computer for a few years. I look at it today with full amazement; with a set of new eyes, with tenderness and compassion because I see in it, in distance, astonishing information.
Things I know now, I did not know then. Events that happened after the day it was created, are fully visible in it.
For more than 20 years, the “field” of psycho-genealogy has accompanied me, informed me and transformed me. So, when I discover such “nuggets”, I just jump up of joy and because I know it is real. It makes so much sense. I am (almost) like a scientist making experiments and trying stuff for years, who suddenly shouts Eureka!! Often transgenerational transmissions have their own ways, their own course of time, often they take sideways, they take time - the time of consciousness is long and fierce. Time is not linear. Conscious and unconscious projects take years (if ever) to conspire and bring us incredible insights and information about systems, about families, about lives, about the field as beautifully described by Rupert Sheldrake1.
Are you ready to unravel new mysteries, to explore new avenues and to better understand your life course ? Are you ready to take a closer look into the future of your past ?
Some years ago, I was leading a workshop organising peace-building activities in a local school in the class of my daughter; the kids were then aged 8. I gave them different tasks, they danced, they massaged each other, they lied down, they looked at each other in the eyes, long, long. One of the tasks was a collaborative drawing, on the floor, with a human-size drawing of each. They just needed to pair with someone who would draw their contour; they would lie down and draw the body of each other. When finished with the shape, they would (themselves alone) add whatever they would want to onto the drawing, imagining, creating a new body. Then they would describe the work to each other. It was a fun exercise and all enjoyed it very much.
One of the drawings is this one above, it emerged some days ago. It was done by an 8 years old boy. The year was 2016. In 2018, two years after this drawing, the father of this little boy would be killed in a tragic accident, at his work place, on the railway.
The death was violent.
There is a lot of blood. Out of his mouth. Out of the top of the head. There is a stick that comes into the body from beneath. There are railway tracks on both of the arms.
Is the heart coloured in red, or has it been frantically erased ?
All the details are just unbelievable, when you know the story. They seem to contain the narrative of some seconds of the accident. That story. The death of the father. Two years before.
I had always known that the transgenerational field is very powerful. I knew the process, the development, I understood what it brings, such wonderful personal realization that can truly alleviate the wounds of the past and find a guiding thread in our history, from past to future.
But I had no idea, I could not fathom, that there are traces of the future in the present. We just don’t know. it would be too scary.
Of course, just by coincidence, or synchronicity, as I finish writing this article, Charles Eisenstein whose work I follow and admire, writes this in his last article2 “Parallel Timelines”.
If we are indeed moving into a time stream in which technologies of reunion operate, we should expect to encounter them more and more frequently. As we accept them, integrate them, and live as if they are true, we bring them further into reality. The question “Are they real or not?” does not have a fully objective answer that is independent of ourselves, our beliefs, and our state of being. I have learned that living as if they are real requires more than intellectual acceptance. The self-sovereignty and trust they entail brings me quickly up against core wounds, unresolved traumas, and legacy programming. I am being asked to accept things I cannot explain or control, to step into a deeper level of trust.

This gave me chills Patricia. Thank you for sharing. You should share this in NAAS. Charles recently did an interview with Hammad Chaudry where he touches on this very subject, in a more personal way. Thank you again for sharing this story. With love, Tracey
