How DNA can enslave​ or free you.

Let’s keep it simple. What I would like to talk about today is. How we “awaken” parts of our DNA, both negatively and positively. Here’s what I mean. Certain traits, certain characteristics that are passed down from our parents, that were passed to them from their parents, so on and so forth. For thousands of years. Well, those genes we receive only tell part of the story. Let’s call them superficial traits. (freckles, complexion) Let me give an example.  Someone in your family at one point in time may have been born with Blue eyes, BLUE EYES! (not very intriguing I know) But let’s say that BOTH parents had BROWN eyes (a little more interesting, right?) With that being said, it would seem impossible for that child to be born with blue eyes, right? Wrong, If neither parent had blue eyes. How then, could that child be born with blue eyes?  You see, what we’re finding, through science and technology, is that at one point in time, someone in your family’s bloodline had blue eyes. And that gene was simply lying “dormant” awakening hundreds, even thousands of years later. studies are showing every day, that in fact, we may all possess the same exact traits and abilities, all within our very own DNA structure. They are simply “asleep” What this could mean is, somewhere within our genetic makeup, lies something much, much deeper. More than simply passing high blood pressure to your child or cancer probability, or being able to dunk a basketball, having a good sense of business or mathematics. Imagine a world where we can “unlock” our truest potential, at will. Unlock things that may be hiding dormant within us. The example I chose to give above, regarding the baby with blue eyes Is only but one example of genes lying dormant within us and how they can awaken over time. Here’s another. It deals with a darker more sinister side of nature. I’m talking about the psychological. Studies are showing that based on our environmental surroundings, which strongly influence and dictate our developmental psychology.  Which in turn, helps to influence our understanding of the world. Within this world, we determine what traits are important and should be “unlocked” and allowed to flourish. And which ones we should suppress, and put to sleep. I’ll give another example. Let’s say we have two very “bubbly” parents. Parents, that are happy all the time, right? Always laughing, always positive. Well, studies are showing, that this “happy” gene, may give us a natural and more effective way of handling stress. Making us less likely to bottle up our emotions and feelings. Now, let’s put that on a genetic scale for a moment. On a genetic level, let’s say we pass those same traits down to our children. As a result, now the child possesses this “bubbly” or “happy” gene. In turn, giving that child a “natural” desire to “open up” and share her thoughts and feelings. Making her battle with stress more likely to be won, and her efforts more effective. Now here’s where it gets interesting. Let’s take that same child. Stripped of her natural parents and raised in an environment that is the total OPPOSITE! Of her “natural genetic desires”. Raising her in an environment that is very, stressful and depressing, arguably reducing her chances of success. An almost hopeless kind of environment. That same child, whose genetic predisposition is to be open, kind and of a POSITIVE mindset. Will now, more than likely be forced to unlock parts of her deep genetic memory (survival mode) forcing her to adjust to these circumstances. Unlocking parts of her DNA that have the potential to turn her the total opposite of her natural genetic makeup. You see underneath all of what and who we think we are. Are the very fundamental and basic survival parts of ourselves. And if we’re not careful. We will continue to unlock the monster lying dormant. Through acts of hate, in the form of racism, discrimination, “class” sexism, irrational judgments. So, on and so forth! Through our willingness to embrace ignorance. Thanks for reading.
