Do You Believe This is Possible?

I spoke to a book club in Hawaii the other night. One of the gals asked me why I wrote about past life experiences in my novel The Basket Weaver. She wanted to know how I could believe in such things. I explained why I believed in them and mentioned many of my own personal experiences that came to me in the form of flashbacks, unexplainable memories and physical sensations.

Twenty years ago I spoke with a channeler who mentioned some of the past lives she 'saw' in my energy that I lived through, which just happened to agree with some of my own flashbacks. However, the gal from the book club said that my belief wasn't possible. She wasn't willing to look further into this topic. Okay. I accept more than one point of view on this.

But on Sunday, I engaged in a philosophical conversation with a new friend. She mentioned that a few years ago she came across a scientific research study about past life experiences written by a scientific biologist who did a study on DNA and concluded that past life experiences was a fact. This information perked my interest. According to this scientist's research, he concluded that when DNA passes from one generation to another it carries experiences in the form of memories, fears, traumas, and more from the lives of its ancestors. In other words, inside the DNA of a person, lives more than just the biological components of eye color, skin color, behavioral and sociological implications. It also holds memories and experiences from previous generations and these experiences, desires, traumas and talents are what make you behave, think and feel what you behave, think and feel until you change that. Look at all the movie stars whose children are great actors. What about the musicians whose children are great musicians or the singer whose offspring are singers? What do we really say about this? Don't we say: It's in the family?

This study also leads credibility to the many experiences we often do not understand but experience nonetheless. For instance, if you have a fear of something with no apparent reason for that fear, the scientist would say that that particular fear was transmitted through DNA into your life. Buddhists call it Karma and believe that what you go through in this life might just be because of what you did or did not do in another life. For example, as a child I had a deep fear of dogs for no apparent reason. I also have a fear of being under water but there are no experiences in my life to justify such a fear. Don't you have fears or worries you can't explain? After I nearly died from toxic mold poisoning an acupunturist did a test on me and stated that this mold sensitivity was from an ancestor who once lived in Europe. This discussion leads me to the conclusion that there is truth to the fact that past lives affect us, be it ours our our family members.

The scientists research project adds another spin on past life experiences in that just maybe the past lives many people belive to have lived, come instead, from their ancestors. The topic is worthy of deeper dicussion.
