“The healing of the progression of the family from the past into the future is essential if we are to be whole. The passing on and the receiving of the gifts of the genetic lines, and the acknowledgment and reconciliation of the past distortions and corruptions of those gifts, bring peace to the ancestral line going backward and forward in time. Then we are free to receive the blessing of these ancestors.”

– Elisa Novick, Honor Thy Father and Thy Mother?
