When the tears of your ancestors flow through your cells

Following my last post on “Spiritual Menopause”, in this article I would like to deal with the highly topical subject of the effect of ancestral energy in its deeper substance and its meaning during these demanding times.

The Operating System of the Ancestors

Today we attempt to find modern answers to the pressing questions of our time, yet our requests run through a prehistoric operating system based on Stone-Age mechanisms. Because this old system possesses only a limited capacity for new, complex solutions, it filters through only what fits into its outdated, primary security structures, when it was primarily about sheer survival. The result is an enormous psychoenergetic pressure that many feel, because our system still operates in the mode of primeval fear of predators and cannot yet process higher, more intense frequencies.

At the same time, we find ourselves in the midst of a time of transformation. More intense energies and a higher consciousness are carving their way into the lowest layers of humans and the Earth. In the process, convictions that no longer serve their purpose surface, as well as the ideas resting upon them, which we often perceive even as an intensification of blockages and energetic density. Yet only through this can they be recognized as a software error, corrected, or deleted.

In my perception, the almost unbearable psychoenergetic intensity and pressure that many experience stem precisely from this contradiction between the intensified higher frequencies and the long-obsolete prehistoric operating system still active in the collective field—the inverted matrix. (Quote from MaTricks – Die unsichtbaren Drähte der Beeinflussung und Manipulation)

Clearing the Ancestral Field

Why do we still have to deal with ancestral energies over and over again? Because they are so deeply integrated within us! Because this “our” world was built upon their energies and convictions. Because even the neuronal web of collective consciousness consists of them. Although we consider ourselves a modern society, the “basic software” and “operating system” upon which it rests are antediluvian. We long to build something new, warmhearted, and loving. However, the operating system in the background does not know these qualities in the way we understand and feel them today. (I’ve written more about this in my lead article for the german MaTricks series, “MaTricks – The Invisible Threads of Influence and Manipulation.”)

Ancestral energy is anchored in every single one of us. And that is by no means a bad thing!—even though I admit it might not always be easy with them. It has brought us all the way to this point. Into this Here and Now, in which we long for more love, more lightness, simplicity, and togetherness.

And that is precisely what is so confusing!

Letting Go in Stages

Sometimes, we label things that have served their purpose as bad to disconnect from them more easily. However, unconsciously, we feel that the old operating system could not have been bad because it brought us to our longing for our soul and our true (higher) self. So we tell ourselves: If it wasn’t bad, then we can’t just let it go or replace it, can we?

It is as if we wanted to use simple multiplication tables (since they aren’t bad) to calculate the area of a complex object.

In these days and the ones that follow, you may feel strange fears or other emotions rising within you. If you are vigilant, you might recognize in them the fears of your mother and/or your grandparents. It could also be that your own thinking, convictions, and experiences are already so far removed from theirs that you feel “energies” without being able to picture anything concrete. They usually surface “merely” to say goodbye. If you recognize the stored themes within them, you can answer many of your former questions with the help of this insight. You might even notice that something directed you somewhere simply because it was afraid to take the other path itself. You yourself probably had no idea why you were walking in that exact direction. Perhaps you even took that “guidance” for your intuition, your inner voice.

If it did not correspond to your own inner truth, if it was not your inner voice, during this time you have the opportunity to recognize it and understand the reason for your feelings of powerlessness, grief, and unhappiness.

Transgenerational Cellular Memory

Remember: The powerlessness, depression, or whatever you feel in these days does not necessarily originate from you! It may simply be that you are giving space to something that your ancestors did not want to feel and expended an immense amount of energy to suppress. Nevertheless, it is stored in your “transgenerational cellular memory” and communicates with you. The fact that it surfaces means that you are already strong enough and possess all the tools to deal with it and liberate it—or liberate yourself from it. How you position yourself toward it and what you make of it is up to you. Do not forget: Potential lies in everything!

You can read a small personal example of how ancestral energy or transgenerational dramas and shadows still affect me today in my latest article, “MaTricks #4–5: The Legacy of the Cell and the Architecture of Comfort,” which appeared in the german Substack “Neues Bewusstsein – unzensiert.”

From Code to Heartbeat

So if you feel inexplicable fears, deep grief, or leaden powerlessness rising within you during these days, set aside the cool technical vocabulary for a moment. Yes, it is indeed transgenerational cellular memory speaking to you, but on the level of the soul, what you feel within yourself is perhaps “merely” an unsung sad song of one of your female ancestors or a tear that a grandfather had to swallow in order to continue securing the bare survival of his family.

These energies come into your consciousness because they are tired. They want to say goodbye. They are looking for a place where they can finally weep, sigh, or soften. When you give these feelings space without letting yourself be swept away by them, you whisper to your cells: “You can turn off the alarm mode. The primeval jungle no longer exists. We are safe.” By doing so, you are not just repairing “software,” but on a higher level, you retroactively gift your ancestors the peace they longed for so deeply. And you know what? Perhaps that is the exact reason why you were born into this family. ;)

Therapy Essence: Liberating the Ancestral Heritage

When the prehistoric operating system of your ancestors interferes with your modern daily life and generates intense psychoenergetic waves, these spiritual anchors can help you:

Honoring the Foundation: Do not fall into the trap of labeling the old system or ancestral energy as “bad,” or believing that it makes sense to fear and avoid them. You already know that the survival software was ultimately successful because it brought you to realization and to this exact point where you can align yourself according to the inner longing of your soul.
Intuitive Filter Check: On days full of strange emotions, check whether you are following your own true inner truth or whether the former fear of your mother, grandparents, or even older ancestors is steering you into an alley you shouldn’t be walking down at all. Not every presumed “intuition” is your own voice! In my German MaTricks series, I also write about how the inverted matrix can imitate your inner voice or the voice of someone familiar to you.
Giving Space Instead of Pushing Away: The powerlessness or depression you feel is often just energy that your ancestors had to suppress with great effort. By simply allowing them to be without judging them, you release old pressure and shadows from your transgenerational cellular memory.
Trusting Your Capacity: When old shadows surface within you, take it as a compliment from your system. It means that here and now you are already strong enough and possess all the tools to finally process these energies and release them into freedom without getting entangled in them again yourself.

The Core Question for You:

Which old, prehistoric survival pattern within yourself may you allow today, with a deep exhale, to enter its well-deserved retirement?

Recommendation on this topic

The novel “Awakening to Humanity—The Experiment” (available only in German) describes in detail how parents, through their fears and paranoia, can contribute to creating an isolated worldview in their children, and how difficult it is for those children to free themselves from it in adulthood. Often, this is only possible with outside help—that is, from outside the world created by the parents.
