Genetic memory??

I have often thought about what the hell genetic memory is even before I heard of what it was....there are many theories of it's existence and even some evidence to to tentatively back it up. For me it's a glimpse, a vision, a gleaning towards a picture of a roughly thatched roof cabin perched precariously on the edge of grim water in some Northern Irish county. Indeed it is strange because I didn't know my family origins until about ten years ago ...enter -------> ensiferum, token of time (I know this band isn't Irish, but Irish aren't even Irish if you go back a little way, They are made up of whoever the bloody hell landed there, Vikings, Picts, Anglo Saxons etc....plus it's my damn blog and a bloody good song :p)

Is it imagination of a genetic heritage, a longing to get to know the patch of ground where the ancestors roamed or is it much more tangible in the intangible....the body wants it?? There just isn't enough scientific evidence to support? Why the fuck does my hair moult at the wrong time of year.....in autumn....eh??

There is always a mindful idea of what the existence of god (ish) overtones and formalised religions which bore. The idea of reincarnation is just too much for me to take in when having de ja vue flashes when sighting pictures of a random Irish scene. It does somehow seem incorporated in the idea of what was not how it will be after life?? Not everyone can be Cleopatra or one of her handmaidens from a previous life. I just can't bring myself to buy it because it opens up too many other inconsistencies of what it might entail a) I'm not Hindu b) Christian and the placement of me in Egypt a long time ago (surely everyone couldn't have been there?)....but the basis of previous memories running through bloodlines is an entirely different thing. I can manage that and still not know the entirety and not really give a damn.

remarkably after writing that paragraph I found this PDF doc which asks a similar question about what I just said only I was going to talk about baby monkeys being predisposed to be afraid of spiders and snakes. :) It was a sign!!!!

Here is an interesting argument about savants and genetic memory theory----->

I think it is interesting how Jung gets back to a lot of things I have been reading about lately such as the MTBI index and my INTJness is based on his archetypes and now from another source people are building on his ideas. For those who don't know Jung was one of Freud's students only he wasn't as hung up about neurotic middle class histrionic christian women like Freud.

here is another story on genetic memory even though it is about sex differences------>

I think I may have reached a maleness where everyone looks the bloody same, questions to teenage daughters are always "have I met this one before?"

Anyway back to this genetic memory thing....or not....there is a kind of trend towards a hippy belief that doesn't sit so comfortably with me again with the regression and re-birthing techniques to free up this life from your last life.

here's someone you can try if you want to be Cleopatra's handmaiden ------>

Is it simply DNA and part of the vast majority of the things we don't know yet or is it re-living a past life somewhere else and you guessed it...making up stories about the vast majority about things we don't know about yet?
