| The Heridity Theory |
| A serious scientific idea, which is probably impossible to prove. See what you think. This idea starts with organ transplants. There are many reported cases of people who, after receiving donated organs, take on some charaecteristics of the people whose organs they were. They may start to like a certain food that they hated before, or feel a connection to something that previously had nothing to do with them, but has signifience to the donor person. This is scientific fact. Now, what would cause this to happen? Does their spirit hover around you enticing you to eat french fries or bananas, which you preiviously hated? Probably not. Are our likes and dislikes contained in our cells? Who knows. But it does cause me to take another look at what we believe. Consider, if you will, the idea of reincarnation. Even if you do not believe in it, as I don�t believe in it as well. The idea that the soul has an infinite amount of lives and that at death, you are born into a new life, on Earth again, has never sat well with me. But think, if likes and dislikes can be carried within cells to new people, why not memories? People often report the existence of memories in their minds that involve situations that they have never experienced. They seem to be happening to another person, but are seen in a first person perspective in their head. Or, to put it another way, they have someone else�s memories in their mind. I have a way to explain that. Say cells, or possibly genes, can carry memories within them. When we are concieved, there is raw genetic material from both the male and female, your mother and father. You are not just created out of thin air. Therefore, you are born out of materials from your parents. Stay with me here, this may seems complicated, but I�ll explain. There are genes there that have been passed down your family line for millions of years. The possibility is there that their memories will live on in you, as their physical characteristic obviously do. When you �remember� a memory, that is not your own, or have a deep-seated fear that you cannot explain, there are many who will say that you experienced that in a former life. But what if it was a real memory from someone in your ancestry. A relative who passed it on through your genes. That situation or fear may have come from them. That would explain the first-person perspective, and the situations that are set long ago. It also exaplins why we feel such an itimate connection with those who have come before us. Those people who, because they existed, we exisit. A plastic sergeon can give you a nose, but family traits only come from one place. Family. In conclusion, I truly believe that somehow we sub-conciously remember things that happened to our ancestors, and react accordingly. That is why we feel a connection, and why memories sometimes appear out of nowhere. If you agree, please let me know. I�m not sure they could ever prove it, but if you think of a way, go ahead and try (within reason). Thank you for your time. Ravengirl Just a thought |
