Reincarnation – A Different Perspective

Reincarnation, just how does it work?  For most of us, it’s difficult to take our egos out of the equation.  We do a Past Life Regression, and are surprised when we realize we were a different gender, or that we were not all Kings or Queens, or exciting personages of written history. Most of us were average, working people, who lived lives of commonplace experience.  But in each lifetime, our experiences, and lessons of life, have an impact on who we are today.   

Are we actually reborn in Toto?  Or are we a rebirth of a genetic memory experience?  Are we actually reborn, or do we have the ability to tap into the cosmic awareness that Jung proposed?  Or could it be something else which gives us our connections to the past?

The studies of DNA open up a whole realm of possibilities.  For Witches, the fact that the DNA Module is expressed as a Spiral is no surprise.  We just grin and think, “we knew that”.  But as we study the DNA, and find different uses for the application of this knowledge, more possibilities occur which fit well with the teachings of the Craft.  We know that DNA is used in crime detection to identify victims and criminals alike.  However, DNA tracing is also being used to trace ancestry of various groups.  A prime example is the tracing of the Lost Tribes of Israel.  DNA testing shows that groups of people in Ethiopia, China, the West Indies, etc., can indeed be traced to a common parentage in Israel centuries ago.  This tracing is done through the specific patterns of DNA, which is simply the ability to recognize the identity of the Matriarchal lineage.  Studies done in the European Communities, have traced origins back to 7 original mothers.  Since the number seven is significant in many religions, it doesn’t come as a surprise to those of us who study, and try to understand the old Lore.  Celtic belief says the people came from beyond the 7 waves.  Could this be a reference to the original 7 birth waters of the Goddesses?  The 7 Sisters of the Pleiades are well known through Astrology, and the old Lore.  Other cultures also have similar references to the Seven, who created life, as we know it. 

Some cultures stress that we are “all one”, or we “all come from THE one”.  Witches realize that the “One” is the common material from which we are all made.  Every species on this planet is a carbon based life form.  That’s the material used by all the Goddesses to bring forth life.  However, the Deities themselves are unique, and individual.  The Gods, and Goddesses of our cosmos are wonderfully diverse, just as our world is multifaceted in that it supports a vast array of species.  So how do we figure out the patterns?  Well, the other common trait of the various species in this world is that we all have DNA.  Depending on the arrangement of the molecules, we may be a bug, or a plant, or a human. But we all have that Spiral dictating who, and what, we are. 

Now the scientists have figured out the coding for approximately 97% of the DNA structure.  They know which molecules affect hair color, eye color, texture of skin, etc.  But the other 3%, which is really a LOT of molecules, is still a mystery.  So let’s look at a possibility.  What if that 3% of DNA is the “Input” component of our makeup?  Like the keyboard of a computer, that 3% takes in the experience of the individual, and translates that to the programming of the 97%, that controls the physical reality. 

How would that work?  Well, when we develop a program, we input certain lines of code to tell it what to do.  We also build in “What if” codes, so that the program itself adapts to information, and modifies.  So genetics are more than the original programming code, they are also the experiential factors that have impact on current practice, and future generations.  It’s called “evolution”! 

An insect that develops a resistance to pesticide doesn’t evolve to that resistance solely by recreating a new species through the mating process.  Within the parent’s experience, the DNA is changed, and then passed on to future generations as a physical and emotional adaptation.

Years ago, running the Four Minute Mile was impossible, until someone actually did it.  All the subsequent generations of runners, who have broken that record, are not the progeny of the original record breaker!  But the awareness of the possibility changed future generations of Runners!  Not through physical birth, but through evolutionary awareness.  Once our species realized we could do something, future generations took it in stride and adapted, so that now, it is a commonplace occurrence.  The Input of that awareness changed the physical DNA in our entire species. 

How does this relate to reincarnation?  Well, what if we can access the memory of those changes in our DNA?  What if our Past Life Regression techniques are bringing up our Code Changes?  What if the Ancients understood this better than we do, and named the phenomenon, “Akashic Records”?  What if the Gods and Goddesses have built in the capability to retrieve the old files, just as we do today when we make backups of our programs?  What if our meditations, and regression therapies are the means of accessing the history of that 3% Input function? 

Have I given you something to think about?
