As I was driving to work today, I had this idea. It’s barely formed right now, but maybe this will make enough sense for you to have an opinion as to the possibility of it.
I keep hearing about how energy work and spiritual development modifies our dna in some way. Occasionally people mention that it modifies it in a higher dimension, so we don’t see it here. However, there is also another level of influence that they’re learning about in gene research that I need to look up in discover magazine again. Basically, there is a certain amount of information that is passed through other types of genetic material and that is more immediate. For instance, if your parents faced starvation, that would be passed onto say the next 2 generations so that they would have some of the developmental affects of starvation. It acts on a shorter time scale than dna changes which can take many generations to show up.
Anyway, I was thinking about how you can therefore pass along more than you realize to your children – behaviors and such – through genetic transfer. And, if we really can alter dna through development…well, what if that means it’s possible for me to alter the dna of any sperm we use for artificial insemination. It won’t change the basic building blocks, but some higher level things. Then, though it’s not entirely me, a part of me would be genetically having an impact on our child, making him more ‘ours’. Does that make sense? And does it sound feasible? I’m not sure honestly how this would work. Would it be better to try to meditate over the sperm itself for a while or is there still time once carrie is inseminated? It seems like actually it wouldn’t matter much, now that I think a little more.
So, that’s the randomness that is my brain on not enough sleep and too much driving. What do you think?
