I can't really explain how, I just do.
Do you feel the "roots" of who are above what you have experienced in life?
Don't know how to explain that question other than what it is.
Hope that's ok.

Yes, I most certainly do. I speak my native language, although interestingly, especially considering the forum we are on, I did not know my native language until I was twenty-seven years old - and then instantly. Sonseearae knew it and I didn't, but when we became co-conscious she shared all the memories and knowledge she held - including how to speak our language. My father denies ever speaking it in front of us and we lived thousands of miles from our ancestral lands and I hadn't ever visited them until after she and I 'met'. So how did she know it? She says, "Cause I do" and that works for me.
Beyond language, yes the culture is deeply embedded. I wrote a book/story and posted it here in the Creative Corner. It is called, The Master Apprentice, and the last two thirds of the book take place in a native village and a good deal of our spirituality is shared through that book.
