Cool, thanks again for the info. I been asking but I don't think that I've given meditation enough time to let the answers come, like a lot of us do I'll ask but not really wait for a response, so I need to slow down and listen and be patient. Also I've only gotten away from the Christianity for a little over half a year now. Maybe it's too soon?
Seek your ancestors. The one thing I will say from my experience as a practitioner, although it's not really popular among non practitioners who seek the ancestors, is that in traditional African thought, the ancestors are not thought forms or beings you contact in meditation.
The thought is when you wish to contact a living person do you meditate to talk to them? No!
Or if you wish to build a relationship with someone do you offer them food and drink along with conversation or do you say "let's talk telepathically with no food or drink but through meditation?" No!
To approach the ancestors as abstract thought forms is like approaching any living breathing person as such. It's highly offensive!
In the African mind, the ancestors are living entities that are not physically present to the eye. So while meditation is ok at times, many African people setup a point of contact space with physical items placed for the ancestors in order to interact with them. We leave candles, food, water, alcohol and other things out for them. These things the ancestors use to gain strength and to be more active on the physical plane of existence. Alcohol left out for the ancestors after one day is stripped of its essence and is nothing more than water.
The ancestors approach those who approach them and once you approach them, they are seldomly quiet. They communicate via dreams, meeting of certain individuals or through thoughts that suddenly pop in one's mind. You will know however when they are speaking. My ancestors talk to me throughout the day in various ways. I once got a reading and the priest told me I was deaf in one ear because my spirits are always talking to me. Wouldn't you know that I am deaf in my right ear. Not completely... I can hear sounds but I can't discern words via human speech in that ear. Sometimes it may take a little while for them to talk but usually in no time your people will be chatting away.
It's all about building a relationship. Ask your ancestors for awareness and to make themselves known to you.
