About Ancestor testing

(As printed in Subud Voice May 98)

Q. Can Ibu Rahayu say something about ancestor testing?

A. We all have ancestors, but it’s not our duty to call our ancestors to do latihan with us. First we should be capable of doing latihan for ourselves so that we will be better people. Our ancestors - it’s for God to arrange, not us. It is up to God to arrange for our ancestors to get a good place and if we are doing the latihan in a good way, our ancestors will automatically be lifted up and helped. If you have problems, please don't blame your ancestors/ some people believe they can’t do latihan smoothly because their ancestors have become a burden. It’s their own fault. So try to make yourself clean in doing your latihan. So after having a good latihan, stay quiet and pray to God Almighty to give help to your ancestors, so your latihan will give a positive effect to your ancestors.
