They also understood that the most personally relevant and accessible portal to the empowering wisdom and goodness of the past was through their own direct ancestors, those who shared their particular bloodline and DNA. It was for this reason that all traditional cultures engaged in what is often called ancestor worship (pitri-puja). There is no pre-Abrahamic culture on Earth that did not honor its ancestors in one form or another. This is a very important spiritual practice and tradition that used to be practiced universally by families in the ancient past. The process of ancestor worship now needs to be revived in the modern world if we are to not lose our sacred connection with our own cultural-spiritual heritage. Ancestor worship must become a regular practice again.","author":"Dharma Pravartaka Acharya","tags":["abrahamic","ancestors","bloodline","dna","spirituality"],"id":29384,"author_id":"Dharma+Pravartaka+Acharya"},{"text":"It's in the DNA of Scientology that they don't trust journalists.","author":"Louis Theroux","tags":["dna","journalists "],"id":36437,"author_id":"Louis+Theroux"},{"text":"To get leaders to become stakeholders in ministry and to understand the DNA of your church, you must invest in them, equip them, and raise the bar of accountability.","author":"Sue Mallory","tags":["accountability","dna","equip","leaders","ministry","stakeholders"],"id":48176,"author_id":"Sue+Mallory"},{"text":"Distinctive facial features of a parent are poor people’s paternity test.","author":"Mokokoma Mokhonoana","tags":["dna","dna-test","parents","paternity","paternity-test","poor","poor-people","poverty"],"id":62029,"author_id":"Mokokoma+Mokhonoana"},{"text":"Society needs to evolve just as our DNA does.","author":"Kat Lahr","tags":["advancement","change","dna","evolution","evolve","society"],"id":84225,"author_id":"Kat+Lahr"},{"text":"Here's what I hadn't realized: the mother you haven't seen for almost thirty-six years isn't your mother, she's a stranger.
