Many pages back, one of the points that was brought up for protection was connecting with ancestors. Below are some notes on this topic where I have included excerpts from earlier posts and two other sessions.
Ancestors, from latin ante (before) + cedere (to go), are those who went before us, those that have deceased. If one accepts the notion that about half of the population are OPs, then connecting with ancestors rests on the assumption that those ancestors were souled individuals, that they are still there behind the veil, and that it is possible to connect to them even if they are in 5th Density. This could be considered valuable, because our ancestors, over and above the knowledge and experience they gained while still living in our 3rd Density, have learned more after their passing. In life we experience good and evil and therefore one would of course be interested in connecting with those ancestors that wish us well and who in all probability would be willing to help guide and protect us.
In the next excerpts from the transcripts and forum discussion, there are some suggestions as to how one could go about connecting with one’s ancestors.
Connecting with ancestors - the context from the session
Session Date: May 18th 2019 Laura, Andromeda, and Artemis at the board Pierre, Joe, Chu, Ark, PoB, Scottie, Niall, Pikabu zee Cat, Noko the Wonderdog, Princess Leia, The Lunar Module Q: (L) It is May the 18th, 2019. [Review of those present] A: Good evening children! Joyeaeia of Cassiopaea...

Q: (L) [...] I thought it was something that would be useful: to connect with ancestors and honored saintly type people in 5D for protection. I thought that that would be kind of a useful thing. I think people should find out if they have any ancestors or deceased relatives or somebody who were good and decent people who one can talk to mentally or communicate with by writing letters to them, or dream communication, and ask them for protection.
A: Yes
Q: (Ark) And if you can't find your ancestors, you have to find someone else's ancestors!
(L) Well, that's true. You can hook up with somebody who has good ancestors, and their ancestors become your ancestors by you having shared realities. You're opening up and sharing your worries and troubles. The good ancestors of any group or any one person in a group kind of become the good ancestors of other members of the group.
(Pierre) And here you mentioned not ALL your ancestors - just the good ones. The same is true for the saintly figures. I think people should be aware that there are many saints who were not saints and other people who were vilified who were actually good.
(L) There are saints who were made saints, but they weren't actually very good people. And then there are other saints who deserved that title. That's a good topic for discussion... not a C’s discussion, but rather a discussion amongst people.
What we have here is that the act of connecting with good and decent ancestors can take many forms, like mental talk, writing or dreaming. One way of opening up and asking for protection in these communications is through sharing our worries and trouble.
Good and decent ancestors can be as simple as deceased parents, grandparents or great grandparents
From
Session 18 May 2019
[...] Good ancestors can be as simple as your parents, your grandparents, great grandparents, etc. Good decent people who lived a life for others are truly the salt of the earth.
A cousin who has passed also counts as an ancestor
From
Session 18 May 2019
loreta said: “[...] I found a cousin, that died [...] She was a very, extremely good person, always helping people, always ready to help, very sweet and gentle. Can she be considered an ancestor?
Laura: Yes, your cousin counts as an ancestor.
"if you have a connection, work on it"
Apart from the how “good” ones ancestors were, there is also the quality of the connection we had with them, how much love there was involved in the relation. It is easier to reestablish a dormant connection than to create a new one
Session 18 May 2019
One thing to consider about ancestors is not so much how "good" they were, but did they love you and did you love them? People still learn and grow on the other side, so if you have a connection, work on it.
Connecting to an ancestor - the case of Julius Caesar
In the initial excerpt there is also the concept of trying to connect with a genuinely saintly personage. Here is an example in the transcripts involving the descendants of Julius Caesar. To establish the relevance for the topic of connecting with ancestors, one could begin with an excerpt from Session 22 March, 2014:
Session 22 March 2014
Q: (Pierre) And how many descendants of Caesar are in this room? (L) Oh, that's a tricky question!
A: All of you! Caesar "got around!"
If one goes back to the Session 18 May 2019, one can take the suggestion of Ark and Laura into consideration:
Q: (Ark) And if you can't find your ancestors, you have to find someone else's ancestors!
(L) Well, that's true. You can hook up with somebody who has good ancestors, and their ancestors become your ancestors by you having shared realities. You're opening up and sharing your worries and troubles. The good ancestors of any group or any one person in a group kind of become the good ancestors of other members of the group.
But what would it take to do that in the case of Julius Caesar, as it happened on his birthday of during Session 12 July 2014? In the Session 19 July 2014, there was some commentary on what had occured the week before.
Session 19 July 2014
Q: (L) Okay, let me ask a few preliminary questions before we launch onto the topics of the evening. First question: What was going on last session when we were communicating with Julius Caesar, allegedly, when Ark was having a feeling of the hair moving on the side of his and then his glasses went all wonky? What was going on there?
A: Ark is closest in frequency to Caesar; thus the EM bursts upon connection.
Q: (L) Okay, that kind of leads to my other question. I think you once told us something along the line that it's not so easy... maybe it wasn't that it's not so easy, but that you couldn't really connect with people in 5D unless there was some kind of a strong tie or a binding element that connected you to them - in other words, to be able to get them on the phone, so to speak. So, what was it that made it possible for us to allegedly contact Julius Caesar?
A: Frequency of entire group was conducive to contact.
Q: (L) And why was that?
A: Strong psychic connection and long focus period in advance of attempt. Plus, as previously indicated, Caesar volunteered to be accessible. It is a sacrifice at that level. By the way, it WAS Caesar.
Q: (Bubbles) He was insulted by your "allegedly"!
(L) Is it advisable to continue to try to communicate directly with Caesar?
A: Occasionally is okay.
Q: (L) Why only occasionally?
A: Note what we just said.
Q: (Perceval) It's a sacrifice at that level.
(L) Oh, so does that mean that spirits or souls at that level are really getting into contemplation?
A: Yes.
Q: (L) And what was it that induced Caesar to volunteer for that service?
A: The many cries of grief and need for succor at the time of his death. It could be said that this immense need and sense of loss was the foundation of the beginnings of what became Christianity.
Q: (L) "The foundation of the beginnings of what became Christianity..." So was the calling for their lost leader that actually...
(Perceval) In one sense, you can see there might have been a sense of responsibility to this hope, and the idea for a different type of world and a different type of living that he created in people. And then when he died, I mean, people were just cut off, left adrift, got lost... It was premature. It didn't last. It only lasted part of his life.
(L) Is that kind of close, that he created this great hope in the hearts of so many people that when he was gone, they just couldn't accept it, believe it, or deal with it? Is that part of it?
A: Yes.
[...]
(Alana) I've got a question. I'm wondering if like where he is in the contemplation plane, does he see what we're doing as a group, and is he interested?
(Perceval) Too busy contemplating.
A: When thoughts about him are intense and focused, he "hears".
Q: (Pierre) And that might be one key for the prayers. To reach him, the prayer of the person must be intense and focused to go through.
A: It helps also to eliminate lies, illusions and so forth.
Q: (L) So, it helps to know that it IS Caesar, to know something about Caesar, to know the reality of his life and what he really did, and what he really meant...
(Perceval) So he gets VERY little e-mail, then...
(L) Yeah, obviously, he gets very few e-mails. At this point in time, few people know.
(Pierre) Less and less.
(L) So, if more people became aware of the truth of Caesar, and thought about him more intently and would focus on the truth, would that have any effect on receiving information or strength or... What would you say? Almost like answers to prayers, or communication, or being in tune or connected, or something like that?
A: Something like that, yes.
Q: (PoB) Would it also help him in his contemplation state?
A: No.
In the above transcript one clearly notices that very much work had preceded the communication with Julius Caesar, and it serves as an indication of what is required, especially if the link is remote, which one would have to agree is the situation in this case compared to a recently deceased ancestor. Julius Caesar is at best a (great x 50)-grandfather.
One comment one could make to the following statement in the above excerpt:
“
A: It helps also to eliminate lies, illusions and so forth.”Is from Session 12 july 2014
Session 12 July 2014
Q: (L) [...] Okay, I've been going over all of the early sessions, and I noticed that I had a particular obsession with the topic of Jesus during the first year at the very least, 1994, because of my particular religious upbringing and background and so forth. And I had a lot of energy invested in - not just a lot of energy, but a lot of emotion - so, I'm reading back over these previous answers we received on the topic of Jesus, and I would like to ask if, in fact, Julius Caesar is Jesus, or was the model for Jesus, why were you giving me answers that sometimes could have been applied to Caesar, but other times could not?
A: You would not have been able to receive. When you ask a question with strong prejudice, we cannot violate your will to believe.
One might suspect the last sentence would hold true for other means of communicating with the surroundings, beginning with one family, friends, teachers, co-workers, and extending to the interpretation of divination etc.
