For example, if I lose my hand, does it changethe DNA? Does this make the body spiritual and not material? It suredoesn't. With due respect, I am just suggesting that this analogydoesn't hold.Regards,Raj ============response============== If the body started growing extra limbs etc with the same dna then I would consider your argument as valid. The fact that the body that has already been formed by the set rules of the dna suffers some losses (and not addition) shows that dna and body are linked while what I am talking about is the the mental development that is visible from childhood to adulthood. As the DNA does not change during this process, the mental development is stored elsewhere and not in the physical hardware. Let me repeat what I have said because you seem to mix up what I mean by 'mental aspect to our being as spiritual aspect' I have not said any such thing. Let me copy what I had said earlier. When I do sessions on reincarnation, I suggest the following:- The hardware continues to evolve through Darwin's theory of evolution - evolution of physical mould is essential for us to continue to evolve. The software (which is mental) that operates on this hardware continues to move forward through reincarnation. Let me offer some supporting evidence. We are born with fixed DNA code that stays unchanged with us till we die but in one lifetime our mental mode would have undergone dramatic changes (these are not accompanied by any DNA changes) - so the software is something that is different and more fluid than mere genetic coding -- It is this inner make up we create for ourselves we call our character that transmigrates from one life to another through reincarnation. regards jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Sometimes I feel the whole idea of re-incarnation is a bit over streched. It may explain a few things but is it wise to explain everything in light of re incarnation? May be we should accomodate a few things as physical if it proves to be so. Genetic engineering is still an evolving science and already many interesting findings have been pubished - most of them were even unheard and unimaginable a few years back. Just my 2¢.
