[Legally Blind: The Book] Part 1: Chapter 12 - Long-Term Organic Memory Bank

Ninety-eight percent of our DNA is non-coding, meaning it has nothing to do with encoding proteins. Current wisdom claims that most of it does nothing and is therefore labeled “junk.” Ignoring the hubris one must have to make such a ridiculous claim, I can state without hesitation or doubt that one of the functions of this junk DNA is to serve as genetic memory storage. Why I know this is detailed later; why it matters here is because it relates to this experience.

Under the right conditions we can activate genetic memories that have been passed down to us from our ancestors. I cannot say what the mechanism of activation is, but it usually involves a stressful or challenging situation that is perfectly matched to the inherited knowledge stored within us. One might, for example, discover heretofore unknown talent in hunting, leadership, love, community, healing or other skills essential to the development or survival of any culture if one is faced with an extreme challenge that required those skills. As these memories are activated, so too is the knowledge, wisdom, and insight bound to the stored experiences of our ancestors.

Of course, this is my own unscientific explanation based on personal experience. Were this idea to be scientifically formalized it might look something like the work coming out of the Russian Academy of Sciences, specifically, the work of Phillip P. Gariaev (et al) and his theory of the The DNA-wave Biocomputer,[i] which attempts to prove that:

• [DNA is] a chromosome continuum of multicellular organisms [and] is analogous to a static-dynamical multiplex time-space holographic grating, which comprises the space-time of an organism in a convoluted form.

This work claims to show how DNA actually transcends spacetime:

• the genes can act as quantum objects, and that, it is the phenomenon of quantum non-locality/teleportation, that ensures the organism’s super coherency, information super redundancy, super knowledge, cohesion and, as a totality or whole, the organism’s integrity (viability).

His work specifically points to memory storage abilities as applicable to a biocomputer:

• This biocomputer will be based on new understanding of the higher forms of the DNA memory, and the chromosome apparatus, as the recording, storaging, transducing and transmitting system for genetic information, that must be considered simultaneously both at the level of matter and at the level of physical fields. The latter fields, having been just studied, as showed experimentally in this research, are carriers of genetic and general regulative information, operating on a continuum of genetic molecules (DNA, RNA, proteins, etc.). Here, previously unknown types of memory (soliton, holographic, polarization) and also the DNA molecule, work both as biolasers and as a recording environment for these laser signals. The genetic code, considered from such a point of view, will be essentially different from today’s generally accepted but incomplete model.

This may well be the source of xenoglossy (or xenolalia), which is the phenomenon of a person spontaneously knowing how to read, write, or speak a language they had no way of learning. There are too many documented cases[ii] and volumes of anecdotal evidence to simply discard them all, and the official explanation[iii] is more ridiculous than the paranormal explanation. Many researchers claim this is evidence of reincarnation or even possession, both of which can also be explained by DNA memories and other phenomena, as I detail in a later part of the book. The idea that we have this information stored in our DNA from our genetic past is not at all farfetched, and, as many of the people who exhibit xenoglossy have experienced a coma or an intensely altered state, the idea of trauma-induced memory recall is even more plausible. In my case, the hunter wisdom was released.

Perhaps this is how the Buddha was able to remember his past lives going all the way back to when he was a flower. Perhaps he found a way to release all his encoded memories and the wisdom his DNA contained. Maybe Phil Connors (as played by Bill Murray in the movie Groundhog Day) was telling us the great secret when he said, “Well, maybe God’s not omnipotent. He’s just been around so long he knows everything.”
