Christianity and Ancestral Worship - part 2

As far as I know, the idea of ancestral worship is not mentioned in the teachings of Christianity. I sense that the conditions of one’s ancestral spirits are reflected in the descendents’ lives. If your parent(s) or your grandparent(s) were not full filled during their lifetime, they still carry those emotions even after death. They will be still wondering around close to you on this dimension of Reality, not being able to go to the Spirit World of Christ. When a person dies with unsolved emotions, that soul remains on this plane in the same condition. You may not be able to see them, but they come to you and try to ask for help along with their negative magnetic energy. You are constantly receiving that energy. You become irritated or short tempered all the sudden not knowing where it’s coming from. Having this condition, you will be making wrong decisions and things just keep repeating the same bad pattern.

For example, if one of your ancestors was killed, he or she might have feelings of regret or resentment. He or she feels the need to take revenge. In this case, the soul remains on this plane not being able to reach the World of Spirits of Christ. Because he/she no longer has a physical body, in many cases, he/she will manipulate things from behind so that person will have an accident or get killed by someone else. The real problem starts from here. He/she is now ready to go to the upper world but cannot make it to the Spirit World of Christ. When one dies with any negative emotion and stay in this dimension, the emotion freezes in that negative state. Even after the revenge is over, the emotion remains in the same condition and the soul keeps repeating the same thing to others. If a soul is in such condition, even when the angels come to take him/her, he/she is not able to see the angels. The vibrational energy of revenge or anger is very different from the angels. Therefore they cannot be met. So the soul has nowhere to go and keep wondering around the descendents crying for help. You may not be able to feel them or see them, but they are around you, sending you negative magnetic energy. When you are constantly receiving this energy, most likely, you will follow a similar path.

The most effective way to save the poor lost soul(s) is by the direct descendents sending the feeling of gratitude. We need to purposefully send gratitude to the lost ancestral spirits caught up in anger. Most of the time, the descendents wouldn't know which of the spirits are suffering, so we send it to address them all by saying, “To the ancestors of the LAST NAMEs”. Ancestral worship is not about worshipping the ancestors like god. You may worship your religious god, but for your ancestors, the sense of gratitude will heal them. The words best to be used is “Ikashite-itadaite Arigato-gozaimasu.”
It means, “ancestors, it is because of you that I am here to live this life, and I am grateful for it.” This expression will work best for the invisible ancestral spirits.

You should not ask for any kind of wishes to your ancestors. They would try to do anything for you, but if the wish cannot be answered, they will suffer from it. Then that suffering energy comes back to you.

I sense that the areas with many residents who carry suffering ancestral spirits tend to have more problems between neighbors or incidents within the area. If each household sends gratitude to their own ancestors, each one of them would start to have the sense of gratitude to each other and the community will change to a peaceful place.

Ikashite-Itadaite Arigato-Gozaimasu

Thank you for letting us live

Salutations
Very good teaching...The spirit world of Christ is a special level or realm, or is it the same as the spirt world of Buddha?
Correction to be done: instead of "angles" should be "angels"...
Arigatou...

if you send me your email address, I could send you the part that explains this on PDF file. I translated on one of the book but never got published.
