magical consciousness (and conditions of Being) known as the Voice of
the Many, the Voice of the Few and the Voice of the One.<br />
<br />
The
first condition of magical awareness crossing the threshold from the
Otherworld is the Voice of the Many, a cacophony and sea of ancestral
voices, some of which call out for vengeance against past wrongs. The
test of this first condition is to resist these calls and to screen ou<span class="text_exposed_show">t all voices but those which have meaning for your current life and life task.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="text_exposed_show">
The second condition of magical awareness is the Voice of the Few. In
this state of Being you encounter spiritual teachers who can guide you
in your life's work.<br />
The third and most evolved condition of
magical awareness is the Voice of the One. This is the voice of the
Sacred Land of the world, the First Ones embodied in the land, and the
Original primal parents not of this world.<br />
<br />
The Voice of the
Sacred Land of Antarctica is the One Voice I followed in my <a href="http://walking-on-fire.blogspot.com/2015/05/soul-migration-to-primordial-antarctica.html">recent dream</a>
- the Sacred Land of the First Ones of my primordial ancestral
anthropoid primate line incarnate during the Eocene "dawn" of the human
primate family.</div>

EARLY ANTHROPOID PRIMATES - and I'll bet that one day we'll find that
"out of Antarctica" preceded "out of Asia" for our own ancient
anthropoid primate line.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.livescience.com/20738-primate-fossil-origins-asia.html">New Fossil Points To 'Out of Asia' Theory</a><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The origin of <a href="http://www.livescience.com/17856-lemur-ancestor-grooming-claw.html">anthropoids</a> — the simians, or "higher primates," which include monkeys, apes and humans — has been <a href="http://www.livescience.com/5427-media-circus-scientists-doubt-ida-ancestor.html">debated for decades</a>
among scientists. Although fossils unearthed in Egypt have long
suggested that Africa was the cradle for anthropoids, other bones
revealed in the last 15 years or so raised the possibility that <a href="http://www.livescience.com/2755-tiny-teeth-ape-ancestor-india.html">Asia may be their birthplace</a>. .. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
An international team of scientists has unearthed a new fossil in Southeast Asia that may prove that anthropoids originated in what is now the East, shedding light on a pivotal step in primate and human evolution ... The fossil is named <i>Afrasia djijidae ...</i> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
The teeth of 37-million-year-old <i>Afrasia</i> closely resemble those of another early anthropoid, the 38-million-year-old <i><a href="http://www.livescience.com/8843-asia-origin-proposed-humans-monkeys-apes.html">Afrotarsius libycus</a></i>,
recently discovered in the Sahara Desert of Libya. The anthropoids in
Libya were far more diverse at that early time in Africa than scientists
had thought, which suggested they actually originated elsewhere. The
close similarity between <i>Afrasia</i> and <i>Afrotarsius</i> now suggests that early anthropoids colonized Africa from Asia.</blockquote>
<br />
Significantly, these two anthropoids (<i>Afrasia</i> and <i>Afrotarsius</i>) are 37 million and 38 million years old, respectively. The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eocene">Eocene epoch lasted from 56 to 33.9 million years ago</a>, so the first 18 million years of anthropoid primate evolution during Eocene epoch is unaccounted for - Antartctica could have been the home of our earliest anthropoid primate ancestors during those first 18 million years of the Eocene. No anthropoid primate fossil aged earlier than 38 million years ago have been found (to date) in either Asia or Africa - <i>go Antarctica!</i><br />

<br />
Of course, since Antarctica has since been in the grip of
glacial ice sheets for millions of years, we wouldn't be aware of any Eocene
primate fossils lurking there buried in the land now buried under the

covered land quite capable of hosting early primate (anthropoid)
evolution. Second, during the Eocene early primates are known by science
to have inhabited every major warm continent currently amenable to
exploration by fossil hunters. Third, warm forested Eocene Antarctica
was still joined to continents proven by science to have hosted early
primate evolution - so a physical way for early primates to migrate to
and/or inhabit Antarctica did in fact exist during the Eocene epoch.
Consequently, there is no reason to suppose that ancient warm Antarctica
(like the rest of the ancient major warm continents) did not also host

In the dream, Antarctica was the original source (even long before becoming "human") of my unfolding existence as a creature of the earth and I had returned to it. Odd.<br />
<br />
These facts about Antarctica are interesting - during the Eocene epoch
Antarctica was an area covered in warm rainforests, not ice sheets.
The Eocene epoch is also notable for the "dawn" of modern ('new') fauna -
new evolutionary forms of creatures upon the earth - so perhaps in my
dream my soul was returning to the "dawn" of the evolutionary line which
would eventually give rise to humans and to me. During the Eocene
epoch, the earliest members of the order of primates evolved - cool! I
think my dream (and very deep genetic memory) is revealing to me that my earliest primate ancestors first evolved in Antarctica.

These results pretty much confirm what I already know about myself - that I am predominantly Northern and Northwestern European. The second image also supports my Anglo-Saxon ancestry as a primary one for me as I am genetically closer to the West German (historical territory of the Angles and Saxons) population than to any other, with Southwest England (the English Anglo-Saxon kingdom) coming in second. Although the next orders vary a bit depending on the type of analysis, then comes the Norweigian Viking contribution. Then comes North Sea Celto-Germanics (Saxons and Celts in the area of the Dutch Netherlands) contribution. Then comes Swedish and Danish Viking contributions. Then comes the Gaelic-Celtic contribution. So, even though my interpretation is simplistic, this explains why I am most drawn to the pantheon of my Germano-Scandinavian ancestry than to any others - I am mostly Germanic (Anglo-Saxon-Scandinavian) with Celtic contributions coming in a close second.<br />

<br />
I
often write about my Saami (Scandinvaian Lapplanders) ancestors, but my
U5b1b1-T16192C! motherline is most likely proto-Saami (although my
motherline is also found among the Saami without the extra mutation), as
most (but not all) modern Saami carry 1 extra mutation at np 16144 that
I don't carry. The defining Saami-specific motif mutation at np 16144
is believed to have split off from my motherline about 4000 years before
the present. So, my motherline and the Saami (also known as Lapps)
shared a common ancestor (and were of a common genetic people) at least
over 4000 years ago.<br />
<br />
This being understood, given the high
likelihood that I inherited my short 5'2" stature from my circumpolar
Lapplander ancestors, the proto-Saami/Lapps, I decided to evaluate other
features of myself I may have inherited from these ancestors.<br />
<br />
First, my ash blonde hair - while I am also a mixture of Nordic
(Germanic Anglo-Saxon-Fennoscandian-Keltic) European racial stocks
(where blondism is common), blondism is also found among pure Lapps
(without Nordic admixture). When blondism is found among pure Lapps, it
is ashen blonde. Ash blonde hair is characteristic of Lapps found in
Finland and the Kola Penninsula.<br />
<br />
Lapp hair is usually thick and
wavy, mine is fine and straight - so while my hair color may have come
from my Lapp ancestry, it's texture most likely did not. So, it's still
unclear to me if my blondism came from my Lappish or Nordic ancestors.<br />
<br />
Graying comes late for Lapps. I haven't a gray hair on my head yet,
even at 53 years old, so this physical trait may be Lappish.<br />
<br />
Second, my eyes, both color and character - while pure dark eyes are
found in Reindeer Lapps and in a few in Norway, fairer light-mixed
green-cast brown irises in eyes like mine are also common among Lapps of
Finland. (My eyes are lighter than they appear in the attached
monochrome photos).<br />
<br />
Increasingly, based on my Lappish phenotypic
traits, it looks like my proto-Lappish ancestors lived in or migrated
specifically to the area of circumpolar Finland.<br />
<br />
Not so much as
an adult (though still minimally present), but more pronounced during
one portion of my childhood, my eyes have a mild fold of skin slightly
above my eyelid (see red arrows in attached photo) - this fold is a
Lappish trait - it is not a Mongoloid epicanthic fold which covers the
inner corner of the eye - according to Schreiner's detailed study of
Lapp craniology, it "signifies that the original ancestral Lapps
represented a stage in the evolution of both Upper Paleolithic Europeans
and Mongoloids (in other words, the eye fold.characteristic of the
Lapps is a trait which developed among homo sapiens predating the racial
split between Europids and Mongoloids) .. In view of the Upper
Paleolithic white and of mongoloids, this divergence of the Lapps from
the others must have taken place as early as the Laufen glacial
retreat*. Their area of specialization was presumably Western Siberia.
Their specialization there shows little interference (from other genetic
groups). From there they spread over Finland and northwestern Russia,
then to Scandinavia during the first millennium CE". Scientists further
write that "some of the Lappish peculiarities may have been common
possessions of the Upper Paleolithic peoples (and) there may have been
transitional forms between Lapps and Europeans. In other words, Lapps
may represent a pure ancestral form common to all admixed European
strains of humanity.<br />
<br />
*The Laufen glacial retreat refers to the
warm phase of the Würm glaciation, the glaciation dated to c.
24,000–10,000 BP (before present).<br />
<br />
Interestingly, I'm finding
that studying racial phenotypic characteristics is a really good way to
find out about one's ancestors and ancestral migrations - information
can be found in these studies tracing development of racial phenotypes
about ancestral migrations that one won't find anywhere else.</div>

<br />
I know my genetic ancestry is primary Northwestern European Keltic-Germanic (Keltic-Anglo-Saxon-Fennoscandian with some Saami), so I decided to see if my phenotype matches my known genotype. I know I have a genetic contribution of up to 12% from Central Europe (which includes Slavic and Keltic populations).<br />

<br />
The photos shown in this post are of me at different ages throughout my childhood, as a teenager and as a young woman (when my facial features were more sharply defined than they are now at age 53). My eyes look darker in the photos than they actually are - they are a dark green-cast brown
in real life. I'm short, with fine bone structure (as opposed to a robust bone structure). I was really pale when I was a child, so much so
that school officials thought I was anemic. I do tan without problem
though, and I'm not as pale now as I was when I was younger. My skin tone is still pale, but it's a bit more rosy now than it used to be. The white-blonde
hair of my childhood has darkened considerably with age, it's now very dark ash blonde. My lips
are rather thin. So, I know I'm a phenotypic mixture as well as a genotypic admixture.<br />
<br />
After looking at photos of other subrace phenotypes of Caucasoid Europeans, I've decided my European racial phenotype (also supported my my
genotype) looks like a hybrid Anglo-Saxon-Keltic-Nordid type touched
with some Saami (based on comparing my facial features with types shown
on the linked pages and compared with descriptions of the stature/height of the
Saami) -<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Anglo-Saxon Nordid:</span> <a class="postlink" href="http://www.theapricity.com/snpa/rg-anglo.htm">http://www.theapricity.com/snpa/rg-anglo.htm</a>
- "Iron Age Hallstatt Nordid altered by mixture with Cro-Magnid and
probably additional Corded elements. The influence of a Borreby or
similar brachycephalic strain may be of secondary importance."<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Keltic Nordid:</span> <a class="postlink" href="http://www.theapricity.com/snpa/rg-keltic.htm">http://www.theapricity.com/snpa/rg-keltic.htm</a>
- "The Keltic Nordid type probably shares its earliest formative
history with the Hallstatt variety, or a similar proto-strain. The
migratory existence associated with the ancestry of the Keltic type
clearly involved the absorption of several non-Nordid strains, <i>most
importantly central European Dinarid (probably by association with the
Bell-Beaker culture of the Neolithic and Bronze Ages</i>). In this respect,
one might say it is intermediate between the Hallstatt and Norid types.
Additionally, the Keltic Nordid has mixed with Atlanto-Mediterranid (cf.
North-Atlantid), the latter of which is probably present at a low level
in the Keltic Nordid population as a whole."<br />
<br />
None of the other
type faces on the website look much like mine. I guess what threw me a bit when first trying to pin down my own phenotype is the fact that I am short, my mom is short and my daughter is short (while the types above tend to be tall types). Nevertheless, my
dad is tall and my sons are tall, so maybe the female shortness in my
maternal-line female family comes from my Saami genes (especially since
my paternal grandmother and paternal aunts are tall, and my Saami
connection is through my ancestral U5b1b1-T16192C! genetic motherline). <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;">Saami (stature)</span> - This page ( <a class="postlink" href="http://www.theapricity.com/snpa/troeplate01.htm">http://www.theapricity.com/snpa/troeplate01.htm</a>
) shows photos of Saami people, and while my face doesn't at all look
Saami, the Saami are of short stature. So, I am pretty convinced that my
shortness and the shortness of my mother and daughter comes from our X-chromosome
Saami genes.<br />
<br />
So, it looks as if my phenotype matches my known genotype -
<b>AngloSaxon-Keltic-Nordic-Saami</b> (i.e. Germanic-Keltic-Saami) - My facial features are therefore, basically admixed Nordid,
and even though my overall bone structure is rather fine (as opposed to
robust), my height is short.<br />
<br />
All of this taken together also identifies some the more ancient genetic cultures which contributed to making me - Hallstatt Nordid, Norid, Corded Ware, Bell Beaker, Cro-Magnid, Saami, European Dinarid, North Atlantid and possibly Borreby.<br />

I have some North African DNA (which is considered to be part of the Caucasoid European - Near Eastern genetic group, <i>see below</i>) and a miniscule amount of DNA from the
Horn of Africa (which is considered to be part of Sub-Sarahan Africa, <i>see above</i>). My own North African genetic connection is through the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berber_people">Berber tribe</a>
(to which I have distant genetic matches and which are considered to be of Caucasian origin).<br />
<br />
The
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horn_of_Africa">Horn of Africa</a> is known from ancient manuscripts to be the original home
of the Berbers (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbara_%28region%29">Bilad al-Barbar</a> or Land of the Berbers). My Northern
European Saami-North African Berber connection (through my U5b1b1-T16192C! genetic motherline is at least <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1199377/">9000 years old</a>, and given that the amount of genetic input I received from the Horn
of Africa is very miniscule as compared to the North African genetic
input (which is itself miniscule as compared to the pan-European genetic
input), I'm guessing that the Horn of African genetic input<i> likely
occurred</i> before anatomically modern humans (AMH) left Africa - in other
words, before the differentiation of the races as we know them today.<br />
<br />
At
the time anatomically moderns humans were all in Africa, the racial
type distinctions we are familiar with today (Caucasoid, Mongoloid, Negroid)
did not yet exist. The different human racial types evolved through time as AMH mixed
genetically with other archaic hominids particular to their regions of
evolutionary development.<br />
<br />
One cool thing I found by re-examining my African genetic ancestry - by
oral family tradition, I have some Native American ancestry, but my
specific Native American genetic panel came back all negative, yet evidence for it is here in
this chart - my Native American genetic ancestry is seen as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mestizo">Mestizo</a> in
the graph, which is a mixture of Native American and European ancestry. <br />

"Not all outcrosses result in heterosis. For example, when a hybrid inherits traits from its parents that are not fully compatible (contradictory instinctive patterns, for example), fitness can be reduced. This is a form of outbreeding depression." There is also such a thing as inbreeding depression.<br />
<br />
This is why, historically, and even today among many ethnic groups there are strong feelings that children should "marry within the ethnic group" as the norm for the majority of people, and the group or tribe will only accept bringing people of other groups "into the family" (so to speak) who have traits likely to eventually benefit the group as a whole - in other words, those who will contribute good genes to the gene pool of the group. Rare but occasional inclusion of other people into the gene pool is aimed to minimize inbreeding depression and to maximize the possibility of outbreeding enhancement. Especially for ancient peoples, acquiring mates was not about romantic love (a fleeting human experience), it was a social responsibility toward ensuring and improving the survival odds for the group's descendents.<br />

also possible that the outbreeding enhancement which gave rise to the
Cro-Magnons was not due to interbreeding with Neanderthals at all but
from interbreeding with some other archaic hominid that existed on a
continent that now no longer exists (like Atlantis) or in Doggerland
(now submerged under the North Sea).</span></span></span> <br />

Catch
last night's episode of <i>The Walking Dead</i>? I did. In contrast to the
season 5 premier episode, last night's episode is one I can relate to as
pertaining to the human condition as opposed to a political ideology
based on historical half-truths and outright untruths about what
happened during world war 2 in Nazi Germany (to which this season's first episode was associated according to the show's producers). War is an ugly thing, but
my view of what happened during world war 2 does not match the
propaganda as to what happened. I do not demonize it as Hollywood
misguidedly does demonize it. That doesn't mean that there aren't people
like Joseph Mengele and Levi Aron in the human community, but these
kinds of individuals are anomalies, not the rule - even for Nazi
Germany. This is why I object strongly to the association the producers
of The Walking Dead tried to make with Nazi Germany in the first episode
of the season - they maligned the whole human race of homo sapiens by
doing that to Nazi Germany. That being said, now on to the second
episode. <i>Human cannibalism.</i><br />
<br />
I agree that there are people in the
human population whose civilized behavior is a facade that can be
stripped away - Joseph Mengele and Levi Aron attest to this.The only
difference between Mengele and Aron is that Mengele lived in a society
broken by war while Aron didn't. Mengele's sickness was enabled by war
to escalate, while Aron's was not enabled to escalate in peace time
America. Cannibalism is also reported to occur in Africa in recent times
- a restaurant in Nigeria was shut down early THIS YEAR for reportedly
serving human meat. So, without question, there are people among us who
do horrible things to other people.<br />
<br />
I think the revulsion to
eating other human beings is what generally distinguished early modern
humans from other hominids now extinct, including the Neanderthals. We
know from the archeological evidence that Neanderthals and Homo Erectus
were cannibals - they ate members of their own species. We know from the
archeological evidence that Neanderthals ate early modern humans. We
have genetic evidence that our early modern human ancestors may have
also been cannibalistic. But, we changed as a species. We developed a
revulsion to this practice of eating other humans and human types. A
record of this pivotal change in the direction of human evolution toward
social consciousness is preserved in the Jewish Torah in the Noahide
laws, one of which prohibits eating the flesh from a living being, and
another which pertains to a system of justice.<br />
<br />
We know that our
advantage over Neanderthals and other hominids of prehistory was the
penchant of homo sapiens to create social structure and social bonds -
to help one another to survive. Social laws help social groups to create
a workable society - one where you don't have to worry that your
neighbor or comrade is going to eat you instead of the mammoth your
group is hunting - it's dangerous hard work to hunt a mammoth - you
don't want to have to worry that your hunting partner might decide that
it's an easier meal to just spear and eat you. You have to be able to
trust the people with you, otherwise the society built to help you
survive breaks down and few survive. Neanderthals lived in very small
family groups, and though these small groups certainly hunted together,
they never managed to create a larger society able to pass on knowledge
between social groups. Neanderthals never managed to create this kind of
larger cultural society, in my opinion, most likely due to their
penchant for cannibalism. You can't trust your neighbor if he might just
eat you, so a large society never evolved for Neanderthals.<br />
<br />
Importantly as well to the development of a social consciousness in
early modern human populations is the concept of evolving incarnate
conscious awareness in early modern humans as a manifestation of the
hybrid-vigor resulting from interbreeding with other human types. I
believe that what DROVE US as a unique species toward greater social
evolution (in contradistinction to the Neanderthals) was the expansion
of consciousness we uniquely acquired from interbreeding. As I posted
before, I remember my preincarnate journey into physical incarnation.
One of my preincarnate memories involves genetic memory - the memory of
personal past incarnations, of my own consciousness as an ancestor.
Science has confirmed the existence of genetic memory.<br />
<br />
One of my
preincarnate memories is of preincarnately SEEING (like the ancestral
völva of Germanic folk tradition I wrote about in my earlier post) the
violence of archaic human prehistory and the penchant for cannibalism
among human types who hunted one another. One memory of mine marks and
records the boundary (as do the Noahide laws of Jewish tradition) when I
believe homo sapiens as a species developed an evolving conscious
social awareness. I believe that Jewish tradition preserved the record
of the social structure which early modern humans imposed upon
themselves in an effort to create greater social structures to improve
survival and quality of life for survivors among our kind. I believe
Germanic folk tradition preserves a record of the changes in
consciousness which occurred which DROVE the creation of these social
structures.<br />
<br />
Homo sapiens decided to create a social system to
improve survival and the quality of life for our species. The Noahide
laws of Jewish tradition record this beginning of this system of
self-regulating the behavior of our species - DON'T eat limbs from
living beings, DO create a system of justice so that we can all live together
without fear of one another thus improving the likelihood of the
survival of our group. The Germanic folk tradition of the Völva tells
WHY we did this. Because WE COULD CARRY THE MEMORY OF BEING HUNTED AND
EATEN WITH US BETWEEN LIVES AND INTO THE NEXT ONE. We became aware of
ourselves as being something more than a passing piece of meat. We exist
beyond this physical plane of experience. In the beginning of our
transformation from archaic human to fully modern human, in that time
when we were early modern humans - hybrids between what we are now and
what we were before becoming fully modern - we experienced the memory
and vision I describe below which propelled us to say together as a
species:<br />
<br />
try as I might to rewrite the story, I cannot forget the truth<br />
and some things can never be fixed<br />
<br />
Cannibalism is something that cannot exist, it cannot be "rewritten in
our memory of experience" to be something other than what it truly is,
it cannot become fixed as a permanent feature in our human society
because as many of us (the völva and other early modern human seers by
other names) reported our memories to our groups in prehistory, "I
cannot forget the truth and I will not allow it to continue in my
group." Hybrid early humans recorded the WHY we changed, WHY we created
laws regulating the behavior of our species.<br />
<br />
This is the poem I
wrote over 20 years ago (and as I've shared on this blog before), describing the horror which drove the
TRANSFORMATION of our species from archaic human to modern human. This
is a early modern human Cro-Magnon memory written in my biology, marking
and recording the impetus for evolution of the species group (the also
encodes the symbolism of Thor's Hammer - imposing structure upon

reverberating with dysrhythm, the battering melody<br />
shattering the noise of silence<br />

hopeless, the sound of an inky blackness,<br />
line upon line writing<br />
a writhing scroll, twisted with affliction,<br />
death and blood everywhere<br />
below the colorlessness of the sanctuary<br />
where I stood, immobile in the sight<br />
testifying, not forgotten, revealing<br />
some wordless cry of terror<br />
embedding beyond the throat,<br />
becoming chained in the belly<br />
burning my world, descending<br />
into the hallowed depths of my heart<br />

not seeing me, or disregarded, either way,<br />
outside your direction of attention<br />
as the rabid destruction erupted up the wall,<br />
and all I could do to escape the blade<br />
becoming broken, I turned away,<br />
pulling myself in ... only to be thown away<br />
thrown down, as a coarse grain<br />
into the only history I ever knew, and I know<br />
what you did, throwing me down to be ripped apart,<br />

you don't hear me, and you don't care<br />

<br />
The record of this memory from Germanic folk tradition:<br />
<br />
She that remembers, the first on earth,<br />
when Gullveig they with lances pierced,<br />
and in the high one's hall her burnt,<br />
thrice burnt, thrice brought forth,<br />
oft not seldom; yet she still lives.<br />
Heidi (Heidr) they called her, whitherso'er she came,<br />
the well-foreseeing Vala (Völva):<br />
wolves she tamed, magic arts she knew, magic arts practiced;<br />
ever she was the joy of evil people.<br />
<br />
—Völuspá (21-22), Thorpe's translation<br />
<br />
Why was she the joy of evil people? Because she turned us from (evil as
we judged it for ourselves) cannibalism and drove our evolution (a joy
to us) from archaic humans into modern humans.</div>

The oldest extant European-specific motherline among modern humans, mtHg U is one of 7 European genetic maternal lines. If your motherline is of European descent, you belong to one of these 7 primary maternal haplogroups. Here is a short summary of the 7 European genetic maternal lines (sources - <i>Wiki </i>and <i>The Seven Daughters of Eve</i>):<br />
<br />
<b>Clan Ursula</b> (mtHg U) - "Haplogroup U is found in 15% of Indian caste and 8% of Indian tribal populations.
Haplogroup U is found in approximately 11% of native Europeans and is
held as the oldest maternal haplogroup found in that region. A 2013 study confirmed previous
findings that haplogroup U was the dominant type of Mitochondrial DNA
(mtDNA) in Europe before the spread of agriculture into Europe. The age of U5 is estimated at 30-50,000 years. Approximately 11% of total Europeans and 10% of European-Americans are in haplogroup U5. In <i>'The Seven Daughters of Eve'</i>, this haplogroup, as well as Haplogroup U in general, is labelled 'Clan Ursula'. Sub-haplogroup U5 is believed to be the oldest single branch of Haplogroup U, hence the sharing of the 'Ursula' designation by both groups. Because of that, it is widely believed that it was this branch who then interbred with another ancient European race, the Neanderthals themselves.
U5 has been found in human remains dating from the Mesolithic in England, Germany, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Sweden, France and Spain. Haplogroup U5 and its subclades U5a and U5b form the highest population concentrations in the far north, in Sami, Finns, and Estonians, but it is spread widely at lower levels throughout Europe. This distribution, and the age of the haplogroup, indicate individuals from this haplogroup were part of the initial expansion tracking the retreat of ice sheets from Europe around 10.000 years ago." This haplogroup is indigenous to Europe.<br />
<br />
<b>Clan Xenia</b> (mtHg X) - "In human mitochondrial genetics, Haplogroup X is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup found in Native Americans, Europeans, and Western Asians. Haplogroup X is found in approximately 7% of native Europeans, and 3% of all Native Americans from North America. Overall haplogroup X accounts for about 2% of the population of Europe, the Near East, and North Africa. Sub-group X2 appears to have undergone extensive population expansion and dispersal around or soon after the last glacial maximum, about 21,000 years ago. It is more strongly present in the Near East, the Caucasus, and Mediterranean Europe; and somewhat less strongly present in the rest of Europe. Particular concentrations appear in Georgia (8%), the Orkney Islands (in Scotland) (7%), and amongst the Israeli Druze community (27%). Subclades X2a and X2g are found in North America, but are not present in native South Americans. Haplogroup X is also one of the five haplogroups found in the indigenous peoples of the Americas."<br />
<br />
<b>Clan Helena</b> (mtHg H) - "In human mitochondrial genetics, Haplogroup H is a human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) haplogroup that likely originated in Southwest Asia 20,000-25,000 YBP. Haplogroup H is the most common mtDNA haplogroup in Europe. Haplogroup H is found in approximately 41% of native Europeans. The haplogroup is also common in North Africa and the Middle East. The majority of the European populations have an overall haplogroup H frequency of 40%–50%. Frequencies decrease in the southeast of the continent, reaching 20% in the Near East and Caucasus, 17% in Iran, and Central Asia. Among all these clades, the subhaplogroups H1 and H3 have been subject to a more detailed study and would be associated to the Magdalenian expansion from SW Europe c. 13,000 years ago. Several independent studies conclude that haplogroup H probably evolved in West Asia c. 25,000 years ago. It was carried to Europe by migrations c. 20-25,000 years ago, and spread with population of the southwest of the continent. Its arrival was roughly contemporary with the rise of the Gravettian culture." This haplogroup is the most common haplogroup found among European-descendents today and is indigenous to West or Southwest Asia.<br />
<br />
<b>Clan Velda</b> (mtHg V) - "Haplogroup V originated in the Near East. Haplogroup V is a relatively rare mtDNA haplogroup found in approximately 4% of native Europeans. Its highest concentration is among the Saami people of northern Scandinavia (approximately 59%), where its divergence time is estimated at 7600 YBP (years before present). It has been found at approximately 10% among the Maris of the Volga-Ural region, leading to the suggestion that this region might be the source of the V among the Saami. Haplogroup V is also found at higher than average levels in Cantabrian people (15%) of northern Iberia, and somewhat lower in nearby Basque people (10.4%). It also is found in particularly high concentrations (16.3%) among the Berbers of Matmata, Tunisia." This haplogroup is indigenous to the Near East.<br />
<br />
<b>Clan Tara</b> (mtHg T) - "In human genetics, Haplogroup T is a predominately Eurasian lineage. Haplogroup T is found in approximately 10% of native Europeans. Haplogroup T is currently found with high concentrations around the eastern Baltic Sea. The geographic distribution within subclade T2 varies greatly with the ratio of subhaplogroup T2e to T2b reported to vary 40-fold across examined populations from a low in Britain and Ireland, to a high in Saudi Arabia. Within subhaplogroup T2e, a very rare motif is identified among Sephardic Jews of Turkey and Bulgaria and suspected conversos from the New World (Bedford 2012). Haplogroup T is also found in a Svan population from Caucasus (Georgia). Haplogroup T is uncommon in Africa and is absent from most populations there. Its highest frequencies are in two Semitic speaking peoples: the Amhara and the Tigrai." This haplogroup is indigenous to Eurasia.<br />
<br />
<b>Clan Katrine</b> (mtHg K) - Haplogroup K has an estimated age of c. 12,000 years BP and appears in West Eurasia, North Africa, and South Asia and in populations with such an ancestry. Haplogroup K is found in approximately 10% of native Europeans. Overall mtDNA Haplogroup K is found in about 6% of the population of Europe and the Near East, but it is more common in certain of these populations. Approximately 16% of the Druze of Syria, Lebanon, Israel, and Jordan, belong to haplogroup K. It was also found in a significant group of Palestinian Arabs. K reaches a level of 17% in Kurdistan. Approximately 32% of people with Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry are in haplogroup K. The average of European K frequency is 5.6%. K appears to be highest in the Morbihan (17.5%) and Périgord-Limousin (15.3%) regions of France, and in Norway and Bulgaria (13.3%). The level is 12.5% in Belgium, 11% in Georgia and 10% in Austria and Great Britain. Haplogroup K has also been found in skeletons of early farmers in
Central Europe of around 5500-5300 BC. It has long been known that some
techniques of farming, together with associated plant and animal breeds,
spread into Europe from the Near East." This haplogroup is indigenous to the Near East.<br />
<br />
<b>Clan Jasmine</b> (mtHg J) -"Haplogroup J colonised Europe from the Near East in the late Paleolithic & Mesolithic. Haplogroup J is found in approximately 12% of native Europeans. Average frequency of J Haplogroup as a whole is highest in the Near East (12%) followed by Europe (11%), Caucasus (8%) and North Africa (6%). Of the two main sub-groups, J1 takes up four-fifths of the total and is spread on the continent while J2 is more localised around the Mediterranean, Greece, Italy/Sardinia and Spain. There is a high (19%) incidence of J1 haplogroup among the Polish Roma ethnic group which is ascribed to the founder effect. Within Europe, J is found in Ireland, England-Wales, Scotland, germany, Russia, Iceland, Austria-Switzerland, Finland-Estonia, Spain-Portugal, and France-Italy." This haplogrop is indigenous to the Near East.<br />

<br />
This
is going to be a convoluted post, but I want to explain recent events
that have happened (through which the "story of transmission" is being
communicated) and also the mechanism by which I think this communication
is being transmitted to me so that my experiences and the numinous
power through which <span style="font-style: italic;">my "folk story" is being built from connections to these events</span>
is given such that recognition among others in my folk may be ignited
(to both help me identify my tribe and to help others identify their
tribes as well).<br />
<br />
Before I go into all that, I want to put out
there my conclusion - that the ancient tribe to which I belong / come
from starts with the letter "H" and also has the letters "O", "L" and
"Y" in it, and has a similar <span style="font-style: italic;">number of letters</span>
(or one more) in it as does the name "Harlan." I am also associated my
tribe's name with the name "Hoyt" for some reason, although the tribal
name isn't the name Hoyt (but may be related or similar to the name Hoyt
in some way). My tribal name may also have a letter "N" in it at the
end, but I'm not as sure about that as I am about the other letters. I
am <span style="font-style: italic;">most certain</span> about the tribal name beginning with the letter "H" (so this is likely why my patroness is Hela, and my <span style="font-style: italic;">birth letter</span> is Hagalaz). Maybe <span style="font-style: italic;">something like</span> Holboyn or Hoylbyn (but not necessarily exactly like these, as this full name part is foggy).<br />
<br />
Anyway, the events with necessary details <span style="font-style: italic;">and the numinous power</span> to drive the construction (by my ancestors) of my "folk story" in my dreams are these:<br />
<br />
1. a Conan post by Steve (on a Asatru forum) which led to my dream of my transformation into a Valkyrie<br />
2. another post about another Asatruar searching for his own genetic tribe and his own family's name Harlan<br />
3. a RedIceRadio radio show that I listened to last night with English Asatruar Dan Rayner, who wants to awaken his folk<br />
4.
the Mjölnir Dan Rayner wears on the radio show's program banner - on
Dan's facebook page (which I visited after listening to the interview), a
commenter on this RedIce program FB post asked where Dan got the hammer
he is wearing - Dan hadn't commented yet, but I sell one "similar" (if
not exactly like) the one Dan is wearing, so I linked the guy to where
(on my website) he can get a hammer like the one Dan is wearing (this
highlight's the <span style="font-style: italic;">Law of Similarity</span> or the metagenetic <span style="font-style: italic;">Law of Near Relatednes</span>s, as my family most recently came from England as is Dan an English-Germanic person).<br />
<br />
So,
these recent events in my life (as many dreams are constructed from
details present in recent life) are the events which held many of the
details <span style="font-style: italic;">and the numinous power</span>
necessary to fuel the construction of the dream through which my
ancestors are trying to communicate to me the name of my ancient tribe.<br />
<br />
Since historically most <span style="font-style: italic;">tribal</span>
affiliations are inherited through the father's line, I am assuming my
own tribal affiliation is also one from my paternal ancestry. My dad's
surname is Taylor, which is an English occupational surname - where
occupational surnames are relatively recent inventions and do not
identify the tribe. The tribe is not an occupation, so the name Taylor
is not my dad's ancient tribal name - it must be something else other
than an occupation (although occupations may be passed down through
families as well, so the historical occupational name is not without its
own clues).<br />
<br />
My dream last night was this - I was in a very large
university class - like the ones they hold in hall-auditoriums). We all
brought a class-book in which to record our work for that class (like a
lab book and/or a grimoire). <span style="font-style: italic;">The book each of us brought was named</span>,
each one we brought had a general name that could fit many people. My
book (at least after I had recorded my work in it) had a general 4-word
name - <span style="font-style: italic;">at first</span>. After everyone
had done the work for the class, we recorded our work each in our own
book - only I ended up with a general book that another woman had
brought into the class (as I had) and another woman ended up with my
general book. It was the way it was supposed to be - the woman who had
brought the book I ended up with had a different book now - we were all
happy with the books we ended up with (the one in which our own
individual works had <span style="font-style: italic;">actually </span>been recorded).<br />
<br />
We
were to each be graded on the work in our book by the professor of the
class. We all got into a line to make our appointments with the
professor to have our class work graded - and as we did this, the names
of our generally named books changed (at least mine did I know). As I
neared the front of the line of students waiting to make appointments
with the professor, the male "secretary" helping the professor to make
the appointments for work-grading called out for the student with the
booked named "Harlan" - I opened the front cover of my book to look
again at the name of my book (which had been 4 words) - it had changed
to a 1-word name. My book's name definitely started with the letter "H"
and had the letters "O', "L" and "Y" in it and was similar in the total
number of letters (or maybe one more letter, as I wrote earlier) as the
name Harlan. It was <i>something like</i> Hoylbyn or Holboyn.<br />

<span style="font-weight: bold;">So, does anyone reading this know of an ancient tribe among our Northern European folk with a name like this?</span>Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09467293583953795947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19819062.post-53940397954613903942014-07-12T13:32:00.001-05:002014-07-12T13:54:42.462-05:00I, ValkyrieI watched <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conan_the_Barbarian">Conan the Barbarian</a></i> last night before I went to bed.<i> Conan the Barbarian</i> is a movie based on the sword and sorcery stories of Robert E. Howard. There is magic in that saga, for after I watched the saga, I dreamt an "another story" hinted to at the end of the movie as to how a "Conan"-figure became king by his own hand ("but that is another story").<br />
<br />
The gist of my dream. It was a very cosmic-feeling, symbolic and archetypal dream.<br />
<br />
At some point in the past, my true identity hidden, I had become pregnant with the prince's (the Conan figure) child. It was otherworldly how it happened, and I really can't explain how, as soul mates, this had been accomplished, but nevertheless, I was pregnant with the king-heir-apparent's child and he didn't know it was me who he had lain with (although I knew it was me who had lain with the king to be).<br />
<br />
Actually, neither he, nor anyone in the kingdom, the king included, knew it would be me who was mother to this <i>star child</i> of the Cosmos. They all thought it was someone else, someone with a known pedigree. I had no known pedigree to anyone's knowledge - my pedigree was hidden, like was Seigfried's (as he was fostered by a dwarf blacksmith after the death of his father). The royal family had waited a long time for "Conan" to father a child, for this person who had been chosen for him had been barren for long years.<br />
<br />
<i>Finally</i> it was <i>signaled in the stars</i> that now a child had been conceived (of "Conan's line) who would make "Conan" king (as Conan could only inherit his father's throne and become king after he fathered a child). Everyone thought it was this other woman who had finally conceived. But it was not, it was me. I knew it.<br />
<br />
Just as the Cosmos had revealed the conception, so too did the Cosmos compel that which played out next. Just as was "Conan", I was lifted into the Cosmos to meet "Conan" - we were to fight one another in hand to hand combat. As I ascended, I was transformed into a shining Valkyrie, with a shining sword and shining winged helmet (just as was the woman in the movie). I was to fight my match, "Conan". Only after battling one another to stalemate, would our union be sealed. As I was ascending, I knew everyone else expected this other woman to meet "Conan" on the Cosmic field of battle, but they were all going to be shocked (as would be "Conan") when I arrived.<br />
<br />
I woke up.<br />
<br />
Interestingly, a few days ago (July 10 to be exact) before I watched this move, I created a new oil for my witchcraft shop called <a href="http://www.witchcraftsartisanalchemy.com/star-child-artisan-alchemist-ritual-oil/">STAR CHILD</a>.What an awesome precognitive synthcronicity!Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09467293583953795947noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19819062.post-50940918965836795592014-07-06T14:23:00.000-05:002014-07-06T14:49:58.330-05:00Odin, Bringer of Victory<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />
I dreamt of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odin">Odin</a> this morning. This was the first dream I've ever had where the figure of Odin appeared to me as clearly identifiable as the Odin of my people's collective consciousness (as opposed to appearing as someone uniquely fitted to my personal consciousness). He appeared as the dark-cloaked figure similar to in the image above.<br />
<br />
Right before I woke up, after a few other preceding dreams, my dreaming consciousness turned toward the center of my home. No one was present there but my own consciousness watching in the dimness of the pre-dawn light as Odin stood up, just like in the image above, as if he had come to a decision, was making judgment, and was acting in his role as the warrior-shaman-ruler of gods and humankind. He was making a statement, rendering his judgment.<br />
<br />
Immediately after he finished standing up, his judgment rendered, I woke up in the light of day to the cha-ching sound (notifying me of another sale at WITCHCRAFTS ARTISAN ALCHEMY®) coming from my cell phone resting on my bedside night stand. I reached over and picked it up, checking my email as to the sale I had just made. In the sale among the items purchased was my WARRIOR SEAHORSE talisman (for unmatched success and powerful protection), my KEY TO THE CROSSROADS (Witch Queen) oil, my BAT'S BLOOD (Hex Reversing) oil and my CHARMING (Good Fortune) oil. In the sale's 'note to seller' from my customer, it was written, "Lori, you are an artist! These things are so beautiful." I take that as a compliment from and the judgment of Odin (the bringer of victory) as well!<br />

amnesia - the reason why babies can form but later forget memories
formed in childhood - <span style="font-style: italic;">you know, that thing that doesn't apply to me</span> (and to a few others too), as I do still have memories of my babydom - including memories I <span style="font-style: italic;">formed in my brain</span> regarding my experience of preincarnate consciousness.<br />
<br />
They claim infantile amnesia <span style="font-style: italic;">directly results from</span>
rapid neurogenesis as children grow. But, that can't be true, because
I'm pretty sure my childhood "rapid neurogenesis" proceeded along just
fine similarly to other children. If this rapid neurogenic phase has any
impact on intelligence, then the scientific hypothesis definitely can't
be true as presently understood. I have above average intelligence,
graduated valedictorian of my class several times and have been in
accelerated academic classes all of my life. My parents were approached
when I was in grade school to advance me up a grade, but they wouldn't
do it because they thought it would hurt my social development. So, I'm
damn smart - suggesting my childhood "rapid neurogenic phase" went along
just fine. So, if rapid neurogenesis has any influence on the
phenomenon of infantile amnesia, it is pretty certain in my mind that it
isn't <span style="font-style: italic;">solely </span>responsible for it.<br />
<br />
I even wrote a story about 20 years ago of the first memory I <span style="font-style: italic;">formed in my brain</span>! I still remember it. I've retitled the story several times over the years, but the original title is <span style="font-style: italic;"><a href="http://walking-on-fire.blogspot.com/2013/04/odr-me-story-of-quantum-consciousness.html">A Story of Quantum Consciousness</a>.</span> Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09467293583953795947noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19819062.post-3737793226428649302014-06-28T03:07:00.000-05:002014-06-28T03:23:33.203-05:00My Doggerland Fathers<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />
In an <a href="http://walking-on-fire.blogspot.com/2014/05/doggerland-fatherline-from-europes_15.html">earlier post</a>, I noted that some researchers place the evolution of my Dad's I-M223 ancestral genetic fatherline in Doggerland (Europe's Atlantis now submerged under the North Sea).<br />
<br />
Eupedia gives even <a href="http://www.eupedia.com/forum/threads/26987-which-haplogroup-had-Doggerland-people">more specific information</a> on the matter:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="uncited">
<div>
The
best living candidates for Doggerland haplogroups seem to be
I2a2a-Cont, including its British subclade I2a2a4-Cont2c; I2a2a-Roots,
including its British subclade I2a2a1-Isles; and I2a1b2-Isles, which has
a continental cluster "B." All of these are split between the continent
and Britain and have TMRCAs that allow for them to be dated to
Doggerland. I2a1b1-Disles/Dinaric and I2a1c1-Western are also
possibilities, although they present more complicated pictures.</div>
</blockquote>
<br />
In the old phylosystem, my dad's I-M223 haplogroup is called I2a2a-Cont (he is in the Continental Group 1 also known as Cont1 at Family Tree DNA). He <span style="font-style: italic;">doesn't</span>
have the mutations for any of its native British subclades. So, when my
ancestral fathers left Doggerland, it looks as if they didn't move
toward the isles, but toward the continent instead - most likely
Northern Germany - Netherlands - Denmark -Southern Sweden areas. All of
these areas are consistent with known general genetic matches for my Dad's Y-DNA haplogroup.<br />
<br />
In my Dad's I-M223-Cont1 Group 1 at FTDNA (where individuals in the greater I-M223 haplogroup are further subdivided based on each person's specific results into marker-clustered groups), there are 18 gentlemen from Ireland (including 3 specifically from Northern Ireland), 4 from England/UK, 2 from Germany, and 1 each from Scotland, Netherlands, Croatia, France and South Africa. There are 7 unknowns.<br />
<br />
Well, the current location of my Dad's closest genetic brothers is consistent with what is known via oral family tradition about my paternal family's origins - English, Irish and German. From the numbers though, it looks like the ethnicity of the recent ancestors in my Dad's paternal line are Irish, English and German.<br />
<br />
Given that my Dad does not carry the native British M284 mutation for the I-M223 Hg, and that the M284 mutation arose approximately around 300 BCE during the Iron Age, then it's very likely that my Dad's paternal line migrated to the isles long after Doggerland became submerged, and <i>probably </i>did migrate to the isles during the Anglo-Viking invasions.Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09467293583953795947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19819062.post-51107043111956936092014-06-20T03:51:00.000-05:002014-06-20T03:51:15.624-05:00I, Neanderthal<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span class="userContent">I've written before (<a href="http://walking-on-fire.blogspot.com/2014/05/archaic-consciousness.html">Archaic Consciousness</a>) that in one area of brain
function, I may actually be more like my Neanderthal and pre-modern
human ancestors, than I am to most other modern humans. So, I am
learning about what is known about the ancient wisdom of my a<span class="text_exposed_show">rchaic
hominin ancestors as compared to modern humans (who are are hybrid
species of at least Cro-Magnon, Neanderthal and Denisovan humans). This
book is really awesome ... some interesting stuff here, so interesting
in fact, that I bought another book by this author, "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0704502607/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1">Neanderthal Question</a>" which is on its way to me. I am even more convinced as I read
this book that the Neanderthal genes I have in me have indeed found
phenotypic expression in the way my own brain works.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span class="userContent"><span class="text_exposed_show">While, according to this book, most people of Northern European descent are thought to be the most "pure" Cro-Magnon type of modern human, it may be that my own Northern-Northwestern European ancestors differ a bit from the norm, <i>or</i> that the genes that I did inherit from my archaic hominin ancestors <i>are phenotypically active</i> in me as opposed being phenotypically inactive as in most other Celto-Germanic-Fennoscandian people.</span></span>Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09467293583953795947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19819062.post-44840901900288768282014-06-11T22:16:00.000-05:002014-06-11T22:18:01.705-05:00Negative For Native British M284My father's Y-DNA test for Native British SNP M284 came back negative. So, Dad has now tested negative for all known subclades of I-M223. M284 is the I-M223 marker indigenous to the British Isles and is found exclusively in Britain.<br />
<br />
Now it is confirmed that my Dad's genetic fatherline is not native to the British Isles. With all of the other negative results so far, it is looking that my Dad's genetic fatherline is most likely ethnically Anglo-Viking and native to the area of Northern Germany, Southern Sweden and Doggerland. My Dad's genetic fatherline most likely came to Britain during the Anglo-Viking invasions.Lorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09467293583953795947noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19819062.post-51221318536164181092014-06-01T04:02:00.004-05:002014-06-01T04:02:37.575-05:00On SufferingExcerpt from the article <i><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/08/opinion/brooks-what-suffering-does.html?_r=0">What Suffering Does</a></i><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span class="userContent">When people remember the past, they don’t only
talk about happiness. It is often the ordeals that seem most
significant. People shoot for happiness but feel formed through
suffering.<br /> <br /> Now, of course, it should be said that there is nothing<span class="text_exposed_show">
intrinsically ennobling about suffering. Just as failure is sometimes
just failure (and not your path to becoming the next Steve Jobs)
suffering is sometimes just destructive, to be exited as quickly as
possible.<br /> <br /> But some people are clearly ennobled by it.<br /> <br />
But the big thing that suffering does is it takes you outside of
precisely that logic that the happiness mentality encourages. Happiness
wants you to think about maximizing your benefits. Difficulty and
suffering sends you on a different course.<br /> <br /> First, suffering
drags you deeper into yourself. The theologian Paul Tillich wrote that
people who endure suffering are taken beneath the routines of life and
find they are not who they believed themselves to be. The agony involved
in, say, composing a great piece of music or the grief of having lost a
loved one smashes through what they thought was the bottom floor of
their personality, revealing an area below, and then it smashes through
that floor revealing another area.<br /> <br /> (Suffering people) can’t
determine the course of their pain, but they can participate in
responding to it. They often feel an overwhelming moral responsibility
to respond well to it. People who seek this proper rejoinder to ordeal
sense that they are at a deeper level than the level of happiness and
individual utility. <br /> <br /> The right response to this sort of pain is
not pleasure. It’s holiness. I don’t even mean that in a purely
religious sense. It means seeing life as a moral drama, placing the hard
experiences in a moral context and trying to redeem something bad by
turning it into something sacred.<br /> <br /> Recovering from suffering is not like recovering from a disease. Many people don’t come out healed; they come out different. </span></span></blockquote>
