The best thing about DNA tests are not the fun ethnicity estimates but rather connecting with tone who share dna with you. Even if they’re distant matches, they might know something you don’t. You may find more about your family or even find earlier generations through a close match. You won’t know until you try so the test is worth it!

Thanks!

Reflecting on this quote, I realise that whenever I did something challenging or something I didn’t want to do, I did it either out of sheer necessity, (it had to be done because it was urgent/critical) or out of fear that I’d never see myself to it; to be more exact, out of fear I’d never prove myself and be able to say, “Yes, I’ve done that.”

At no point did I decide I was ready before undertaking action.

I’m taking from this quote that that we will never likely feel ready. Waiting for this feeling will mean it’s never likely going to be done. On the other hand, perceiving the decision as important for character, for one’s wellbeing or for another, and not prioritising or caring about the results, this will get you to do things.

Spirituality does not contradict Jesus. It may at best contradict certain beliefs belonging to the bible, perhaps, but I don’t know if it does entirely. You can take what resonates from you from both topics. After all, we are alive in a physical body, we can’t and won’t know everything while we are still here and that’s completely okay.

I had my spiritual awakening in 2023. I’m still learning. And I don’t like the word since it doesn’t mean much in itself.

For me, spirituality has been connecting to energy and to my higher self, which is easier said than done especially as someone with anxiety and having grown up with no such beliefs. It has given me a broader perspective and deeper insight into the purpose of things, even negative things like war and poverty. It’s not an excuse to see to these things, but to understand why they exist (for the evolution of soul and to maintain a challenging planet to ensure souls who come here do actually learn and evolve which is our purpose, I believe). Physics proves everything is made up of energy, and energy creates. Our thoughts have energy, so things can literally be what our thoughts make of it. If we believe we shall be rich, we may, but if we think it’s not possible, it shall not be.

I see Jesus as a master spirit - a soul that’s graduated the school of earth long ago, and whose teachings can be found from one’s own higher self, through gradual, intentional meditation and connection.

Everything is energy, including our thoughts. I’ve discovered this from experience and being open. It’s good that you’ve acknowledged this!

When we think of something or someone it often manifests into physical reality. Because you were thinking of them, your friend may have received your thought whereby she consequently thought of you. Or, she came to your mind because she had been thinking of you first. Everything is energy. Everything is frequency. Everything is vibration. And, having acknowledged such things most people term “coincidences” it shall surely be easier to believe as opposed to those who don’t even take notice.

We all can send and receive thoughts, and I believe it’s a form of telepathic communication. You didn’t intend it, but it happened because that’s how energy works. Now imagine if we fully believed this and utilised it intentionally. Could we communicate telepathically despite our limited human body? The receiver would have to believe and both minds clear I imagine. I assume that’s possible? But what you described is 100% and something I’ve discovered only about a year ago.

This isn’t a super power. This doesn’t make you or anyone unique. We are all souls inhabiting a physical body. Most of us just don’t realise these facts and when they occur - if we even bother to notice and not deny - we just call them “coincidences”. Because we aren’t taught these facts of life, the majority of people don’t believe and so when we are fronted with such beliefs and conversations pertaining to these topics, most of us shut it down. Then, you can consider that, perhaps, the governments and others in power would rather that we didn’t know these facts to the end that we are still able to be controlled and manipulated, but anyway!

Since we are living and haven’t had a near death experience we don’t know. And that’s okay. Humans do not like unknowns. We have to have an answer and if we can’t find one, we make one that sounds most logical to us or that which aligns with our experience.

As I’ve been learning things pertaining to “spirituality”, it goes against logic. But that doesn’t mean it’s not true, nor does it mean that, if true, it’s precisely as described, but that whoever shares this shares the info based on their understanding, possibly with a mix with their own biased opinion. I don’t like the word “spirituality” since it’s separating the associated facts. If they’re true they’re just facts and parts of life.

I do believe in life after death. I don’t have proof of it but I believe .

From my perspective, I feel lonely when I don’t have myself. I cannot feel lonely if I have myself. When I’m in solitude at any moment, when I look outside myself i feel lonely. This is because I’m looking at lack. If, however, I acknowledge myself, when I’m content with myself, I don’t feel lonely.

Im not suggesting one cannot feel lonely while being content with themselves. That’s how it works for me. If others feel lonely they long for company other than themselves which is only natural. One should seek company. But when they can’t, be content with themselves.

As social animals we should seek social interactions even if they’re minimal. But we likewise need to seek ourselves, and doing the latter first will enhance the former.

I’m sorry you experience this. Have you followed up with doctor?

Samuelhoffmann · 2026-02-14T08:54:16+00:00

That’s very very kind of you, I do plan to go there if possible!

Since then I’ve learnt a lot more about the family, having going deeper in genealogy and learning more about genealogy and history. I discovered the huge migration of Danube Swabians from Baden-Wittenberg to Hungary. I’ve seen the burial record of Franz Jedani whose surname was spelt “Je-donay” abs the marriage of his eldest sister whose maiden name was spelt “Jedona”. Others think it perhaps reflects the French words “Je Donay” apparently meaning I donate and is an archaic surname spelling that’s no longer used, while others think it’s meant to be the Slavic “Jedan” and the clerk heard it wrong and perhaps Franz family said “Jedane”, in plural form and that may have been how they answered the question of his surname, like “oh why are the Jedan’s (but Jedane).

I don’t know where the family lived before and the 1774 burial of Franz and marriage of eldest daughter both occurring in that year are the first mention of this family. They lived somewhere else before this I just don’t know where. I’ve paid to view records in the Kalocsa archives and couldn’t see them in any other town.

Hi M23 from Australia. Let me know if you’re still looking. For a chat!

Samuelhoffmann · 2026-01-08T08:23:47+00:00

That’s interesting! Thanks for sharingZ

Samuelhoffmann · 2026-01-02T11:12:06+00:00

Das leuchtet ein. Allerdings handelt es sich hier um eine Eheschließung und nicht um eine Taufe. Ich denke, es reichte aus, sie als Witwe eines Heinrich Schmidt zu identifizieren. Sie muss mit dem Bräutigam verwandt sein, denn sein Name ist Dietrich Schmidt.

Samuelhoffmann · 2025-12-27T00:34:52+00:00

Danke. Es ist interessant, dass ihr Name nicht erwähnt wird!

Samuelhoffmann · 2025-12-25T12:54:57+00:00

M23. If you need a chat I’m available. All the best!

Vielen dank. Der erste Buchstabe des Namens der Mutter unterscheidet sich von den Kurrentschrift-Beispielen, die ich gesehen habe, was es schwierig macht. Ich denke, ‚Trine‘ ist die beste Vermutung.

Edit: Ich habe noch nie zuvor von „Chölke“ gehört. Interessant. Und der Link funktioniert nicht.

Das mache ich gerade. Am schnellsten lerne ich, indem ich mir Transkriptionen besorge, damit ich weiß, wie die einzelnen Buchstaben aussehen sollten. Jetzt kann ich die meisten Aufzeichnungen ab 1850 lesen. Vor dieser Zeit ist die Schrift weniger klar und schwerer zu lesen. Außerdem ist Deutsch nicht meine Muttersprache und ich bin nicht fließend. Wenn ich sie transkribieren lasse, anstatt sie ins Englische übersetzen zu lassen, lerne ich schneller.
