Once someone has died, no one can ever say their name again. For students of metaphysics, it is about calling up souls who may or may not bless us or even curse us with their energy by influencing us with their unresolved agendas. Many believe that we attract "souls" to us because their agenda is similar to our own, and that on another dimensional level, reinforce us, meaning that when I get upset, these kindred souls actually reinforce my energy, sometimes magnifying its intensity beyond where I would take it myself. Doesn't every culture have its way of dealing with the losses of others? I have some of those old photos and wonder if I am recalling them in some way when I view them. What we some of those "great greats" think of me if they met me today? in the context of their mores and their level of technology and knowledge of human nature/yes, even before they knew about developmental levels of human growth would they "use me" on the basis of universal feelings " feelings of being ignored and left out, not honored for my views" etc. After all, do the issues really change in the human experience?. Yeah, I think you've got a helluva book here with many many conceptual possibilities. Makes me think of Aussie Aborigines belief. Once someone has died, no one can ever say their name again.
