Unlocking the Doors to the Past We Start Anew
DIGITAL ANCESTRY
Genealogy Without Proof is Mythology
I know only that I was born and exist, and it seems to me that I have been carried along. I exist on the foundation of something that I do not know. In spite of all uncertainties, I feel solidity underlying all existence and a continuity in my mode of being.
~Carl Jung, Memories Dreams and Reflections.
Because we cannot discover God's throne in the sky with a radio-telescope or establish (for certain) that a beloved father or mother is still about in a more or less corporeal form, people assume that such ideas are "not true." I would rather say that they are not "true" enough, for these are conceptions of a kind that have accompanied human life from prehistoric times, and that still break through into consciousness at any provocation.
~Carl Jung; Man and His Symbols
We cannot do away with the living man by making him spirit -- he must live here -- and we must really assume that inasmuch as there is life it makes sense, and that life in not properly lived when we deny half of life. ~Carl Jung, Zarathustra Seminar, Page 539
We cannot slay death, as we have already taken all life from it. If we still want to overcome death, then we must enliven it. Therefore on your journey be sure to take golden cups full of the sweet drink of life, red wine, and give it to dead matter, so that it can win life back.
~Carl Jung, The Red Book.
Some men by ancestry are only the shadow of a mighty name. --Etheridge Knight
"Genealogy is like a magic mirror. Look into it, and pretty soon, interesting faces appear."
“Family faces are magic mirrors. Looking at people who belong to us, we see the past, present, and future.” – Gail Lumet Buckley
