DESCRIPTION
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
Recent research in model organisms reveals that traumatic memories may be inherited across several generations, and may predispose offspring to mental illness.
Charles Darwin proposed the theory of natural selection, positing that inherited gene mutations provide offspring with a survival advantage in their environment. Around the same time, Jean-Baptiste Lamarck postulated that organisms could pass down acquired characteristics. He was ridiculed mercilessly. You can’t pass these traits down to your offspring, or can you?
Studies show that exercise-induced benefits can be passed down to offspring, in the form of improved mitochondrial efficiency. Acquiring particularly salient memories from our ancestors could help us know the challenges they faced in their environment and provide us with unique adaptations that ensure our own survival.
For memories to be passed down, they first need to be stored as physical structures in the brain. But this would require information stored in neurons to be transferred and encoded in germline (sperm/egg) cells. One lab found that transferring the RNA of sea slugs trained to respond to a gentle touch that was previously unknown to them could pass on this "trained memory" to other, naïve slugs. This suggests that RNA could be the signal that is used to transfer memories from neurons to germline. But how are these memories encoded and stored?
Epigenetic processes play a role in memory consolidation and help to transmit acquired memories across generations. Specifically, environmental experiences turning our genes “on” or “off” in a context-dependent manner, without changing the underlying genetic code.
Mice conditioned to fear the smell of acetone (by pairing the smell with an electrical shock) can pass on this fear to offspring that had never encountered acetone before. Researchers studying three generations of mice found that their brains had increased electrical activity, size, and number of the specific olfactory sensory neurons that responded to the smell of acetone.
This can occur in humans as well. The Dutch Hunger Winter (DHW) Study, for example, looked at an extended period of famine towards the end of WWII, when Nazi soldiers blocked food supplies to the Netherlands for several months. This horrific act killed more than 20,000 people, and left thousands more severely ill. Pregnant women were particularly vulnerable.
The DHW found that these women's children had a higher incidence of metabolic diseases such as obesity and Type 2 diabetes, suggesting their bodies were programmed to alter their metabolism and hold on to every last calorie in case they too had to face a famine similar to that of their ancestors. The grandchildren showed similar predispositions for metabolic disease suggesting a mechanism of transgenerational inheritance.
The Holocaust Survivors Study assessed the health and wellness of the children of dozens of Holocaust survivors and found they had a distinctive epigenetic profile (methylation pattern) on genes linked to cortisol metabolism which was similar to their parents. Could the trauma and stress of the Holocaust survivors have been epigenetically imprinted on their children so that they too had the capacity for a heightened stress response?
Answers to these questions can deepen our understanding of mental health and lead to paths of increased well-being through better treatments.

@@joshuataylor3550 Thanks!
Thanks greetings from Santiago Chile 🇨🇱!
I feel this is true!
Believe so and it likely is a survival instinct taught to prevent danger or how to manage situations. Hence why a wolf would avoid humans from humans being threats to be feared for wolves. For humans this could likely create it through trauma like not to trust males even if you are a male. Hence androphobia in males passed down through genetics since maybe you mother and great grandmother went through trauma caused by males. On the contrary instead of reversing it can it not be seen as a sign of evolution not a disease and hence even transgender having the desire to be the opposite sex likely be in the evolutionary genes regardless how it's caused. In terms in that fix maybe humans are mentally developing forward to evolve their thinking to advance to create opportunities where they join the opposite sex. In terms tools aren't exempt from the evolutionary process as various animals develop to use them for survival. Transgender is already survival in snails in their ways where males become females as they age and reproduce more snails. Maybe our scientific belief to cure isn't a cure but a lack of acceptance and an attack on something different then themselves. Sadly I think this is where our modern thinking process hasn't evolved. We still lack that acceptance and have that fear to create tolerance and opportunities and support them. You can call me a logic monster or whatever by the utmost thought is in what is and the ability to question even what's limiting our own ability to go through and advance as a people and what is intentionally held back due to fear. Personally I don't think this group is ill they just been subject to evolution.
I had a vivid dream as a 12 year old. At 20 something, I found myself standing where I was in my dream. A view that, I found out, was probably seen by my grandfather just before he was shipped to France to take part in WWI
you traveled back in time?

Dreams are messages from the deep
Ur past life's memories briefly broke thru #Wakeupp 👁
This has happened to me. This "memory" has 'haunted' me for 60 years and just lately has been proven true thru ancestrial tracking. The house that my ancestor built in the late 1700s is still standing. I'm absolutely certain I was in this house in my 'memory'. I remember it as though it was yesterday.
This could explain how a head trauma patient in a coma wakes up speaking a language they don't know, from a place they've never been. I have thought about it for years.
Really?
@@Sun-God2yes bro, I believe him. There are documentaroes about these rare cases.
Seen on tv a Caucasian guy woke up from coma speaking Chinese and he’s never been to China or had any Chinese friends. Also another one, an English speaking female who had a stroke and started speaking Irish (Gaelic).
My instincts KNEW Assassins Creed wasn't lying about genetic memory.
Sounds like someone is spending too much time within the Animus ;)
@@KeepOnThinking gg😏😎👌 It makes perfect sense though. Instincts have to come from somewhere. So they come from the memories and genetic "programs" from our ancestors in our genes. I've definitely had dreams of some of my ancestors and parents come up that arent mine. Plus there's many people I know with phobias like lightning striking being interpreted as danger/death when they lived on land they whole life. But their ancestors were pacific islanders who had to boat across the sea and thunderstorms on the sea were an actual real sign on danger. It kind of fills in the gaps.
On a city tour of Ketchikan Alaska, our guide explained that salmon return to the spot where their mothers spawned them and spawn the next generation within two feet of the spot where they themselves were spawned. Then she mentioned that after the 1989 Exxon-Valdez Oil Spill, many of the streams where salmon had been spawned were so polluted that the salmon could not return to the spot where they had been spawned and had to go to other streams that had not been polluted. This stimulated my curiosity, and so I asked her when the streams were finally all cleaned up, did the next generation of salmon return to the spot within two feet of where their mothers had spawned them, or did they return to the ancestral spots where their grandmothers had spawned their mothers? She had to check and get back to me: the salmon returned to the ancestral spawning spot, not to where they themselves had been spawned right after the oil spill.
HOLY COW! Thank you for sharing that! That is AMAZING.
Please tell me the name of the touring company so i could look more into this, thanks
This is fascinating information that I’ve been thinking about for many years. Come to think of it, maybe I inherited these thoughts from my ancestors...
Nice ;)
@@KeepOnThinking in the old days we knew much more based on observation rather then the scientific fact we depend on today.... the words "the Apple dosent fall far from the tree" means much more then a surface scan... thousands of years bloodlines have been in power... those bloodlines who wish freedom for all and not elite rules have been ended or at least banished from any ruling powers.... my blood is the old "judges" I cry at today's world and how false and disturbing the rulings of law are today
Exactly
Honestly, you probably had very inquisitive ancestors, as did I, hence why we think this way.
@@FullyOnVolks lol, maybe so...
Tracing your family tree can be very eye-opening to Inherit Memories From Our Ancestors. The one that often crops up is finding somewhere you feel really at home at to then find in researching your family tree some 300 years ago your ancestors come from there.
This happened to me there is a river about 50 miles from my home where I constsntly go to meditate/escape from the city. There are many other rivers where I live but this one always relaxes me. Found out today my great great great grandfather owned the land nearby and built a turbine for his coffee and sugar crops near that river. Oh, and I randomly was interested in sugar making during the pandemic. That led me to litetally google the phrase Genetic Memory and here I am.
But how can i do this
I built my first Go cart and my first tree fort by the age of five years old. No one taught me how to build things. I've always wondered why I seemed to be born with that skill.
That's basicly what instincts are... inherit memories..passed on to the offsping. Great video
I've believed this since I was a young child. It's probably been known since the beginning of man. You can watch a child go about tasks theyve never been around or have no personal experience in like they're pros. "Some people are just naturals". I believe a big percentage of deja vu ks suppressed/inherited memories that our mind processes as one of our own memories filling in differences with current "information". It feels so real to us because it did happen and is our memory but we weren't actually the one to make the initial memory, and that's where the confused feeling comes from. Also a firm believer that inherited memories work hand and hand with intuition and other suppressed abilities but can be accessed easily if exercised. "Trust your gut" and dont think twice. Your first instinct is actually hundreds of years worth of experience.
While I find the idea passing down of memories fascinating and even probable, I’m not sold on this being the main reason for increase in mental illness mainly because living with a lot of trauma has been the norm for most people though out history. People don’t realize how poor/dangerous/difficult most of the world was 100/200 yrs ago. Also, farming by hand was incredibly hard work but people from agriculture societies had less mental illness and schizophrenia was almost non existent. So I believe what happens in this lifetime has far greater influence and what happened to our ancestors or in our past lives influence who we are and our fear/ anxiety/abilities, it is definitely more subtle for most people.
People didn’t talk about mental illness 100/200 years ago, unless the person with the illness was so debilitated it was not easily covered up. Also, having to dig in the dirt all day to get enough food to eat leaves little time to focus on mental wellness. Anxious, depressed, etc. if you didn’t work hard you didn’t survive so Tammy mentally I’ll people probably died very young.
Nonexistent, I think, not. Just unrecorded and under reported !
All i can say is people back then also had less coping mechanisms and few ways to gain access to vices. Remember it took our ancestors thousands of years of fight, survival, gathering, scavenging of resources, selecting the best mate(s) sometimes by force. All that to get you and me here today.
Actually the world was much better in the past. This thing we learn are fake narratives taught by the fake Democracies. During the Roman Empire they paid only 1% in taxes. Before the French revolution people paid only 3% in taxes. Today we pay 50% in taxes, all of us are mere enslaves working 24/7 in order to survive. They would work 3 months/ year in their harvest and the rest only wait or maybe practice another job to increase their income. A father working alone could provide for his entire family, in the end of the harvest the Monarch would come and get 3% from their production. Today you earn 1000 USD and give to the government 1000 USD in taxes, then you buy something they cut 10%, you poop they send you a bill to pay to the local system. 😂
I agree. 💯
Watching a duckling freshly hatched from the egg and being able to swim is amazing to watch, but memory storage is by association and linking of different areas of the brain devoted to long-term memory storage.
Humans can too
When I was very little, I remembered people that I knew. My mother told me it was just my imagination, so I forgot about them. I just remember remembering.
Wow! That was a really interesting video. I had heard about epigenetics carrying information about ancestral traits, but had never thought about memories. Fascinating!
Yes it is a fascinating subject; glad you enjoy!
Genetics and Epi-genetics is memory
I have often wondered about this subject. For instance, why do some dogs respond agressively toward persons in uniforms when they have never had a negative experience with a person in uniform?
Could reincarnation be actually a person inheriting the memory of his ancestors?
bravo u guessed it Jay a totally different person but it's you in the same time in the past, the past u remember is part of u now things u don't remember are not part of you, though it may be restored, but the fascination of it make the reincarnation theory so appealing to believe, whenever people hear reincarnation they feel extremly attracted to it, idk if some ppl dupe others with the concept but i guess it's doable, so, now let me go and contemplate this xD, btw if so, our lifes matters then, valuable, fascinating. And i was total nihilisticc xD; Fuck it's not ok now if i die trying things? damn now i understand why greedy rulers and richies pass things to the progeniture, said and unsaid experience idk, totaly natural human nature at least, def ur sentence linked many things Ty.
Well if you believe in a higher being(god) then no it’s not possible because we all have unique and separate souls.
@@pieceofword7708 but what if god has made a limited set of souls and those souls get renewed(get a new boby as a host for a parasite ) each time a person dies in materialistic world
@@sumitthakur1625 Think of it this way, if god has created a huge universe we still don’t know the ends of, with multiple galaxies, an uncountable amount of stars the size of the sun, and has everything in his grasps and nothing is impossible to him, why would he only create a limited amount of souls. He created us to worship, why would he only create a few worshippers it doesn’t make sense. He literally created everything in unbelievable huge numbers, He’s not wasting resources to worry about numbers, or running out of souls so I highly doubt with the vast gigantic numbers of everything else he has created, a limited number of souls is highly doubtful.
@@pieceofword7708 yes , cant deny the fact the there can be infinite number of souls but if he creates a separate soul for each individual then what would happen to the soul of person who just died ....will his soul also die with him ? and if not then what is going to be the purpose of that soul after his body died ? .......maybe the things which feels infinite through human eyes and brain are just a handful through gods eyes? and maybe there is an end of universe created by god as a limit of which we cant look beyond...there are endless posibilities and we know answer to a very little of it .
Animals 8nherit knowledge of nesting what to eat , and birds instinctively know where to fly home despite never having undergone the journey , so we should not be too suprised
I'm going to need some time to process and understand this video. Maybe my future child will understand this video better without me telling him/her about this video!
Indeed!
Environment also play a role. Inherited mental illness may not manifest if a child is brought up in a wholesome and mentaly healthy environment.
That would explain some people claiming reincarnation but actually they are experiencing the inherited memories.
💯
Super fascinating video! I'll be thinking about this for a long time. My future kid(s) might too!
Ha; perhaps so!
Interesting, recalling something that you don’t have any reason to know, which may explain why we just know or understand things, like having a Deja’s moment when visiting a place you never been or meeting someone for the first time but feel you know…
💯
Really fascinating and fills some gaps in theory I've been working on over here in the world of Outdoor Education and Eco-Social Science research.
I find that I am natural at so much its as if I already knew how, for example I can build anything, I also was a amazing saxophonist after just a few weeks of having one. I do have a high i.q. but I feel like I am being reminded more than learning new things for the first time.
I think I know what you mean. I have sometimes solved a (technical) problem just ‘knowing’ what the solution was. It is clear as day at that moment, even though I know I have never learned this.
Even though I started a carpentry career later in life I picked it up so quick I'm not sure how. My second name means son of a Smith/gaban in Irish which means a skilled man free to work. Both my brothers are also skilled tradesmen.
I accidentally came across this video, whilst looking for answers regarding something else. I got to say, that this was incredibly interesting and quite thought-provoking to say the least. I intend to check out more of your vidos, hopefully and perhaps subscribe. Thank you, for your efforts
Thank you!

Thank you very much. Please feel free to share them around to get more attention!
Crazy stuff! I have a lot to contemplate after watching this!
Yes it is extremely thought-provoking indeed.
Great video, you deserve more views
so cool! It's hard to process how cool this is!
Work hard to do so, and perhaps your children will have increased processing power ;)
ststw thank you for this incredible video!!! It explains MUCH! This is Gold for my research! THANK YOU!
I think there is some truth in this idea,coming from a rural ,warrior, farming background of ancestry,I am the first of our generation to be brought up in the city and I have never been able to adapt to capitalist,city,consumer life ,my instinct seems to be hunting, gathering , growing ,and fighting my enemys,of course all these instincts are unable to be fully expressed and I think only my intellect has saved me from total madness,its like locking up a wild animal in a cage,cruel to the extreeme,yet govornments,society's do it all the time,and call it civilisation,the truth is capitalist greed has created industrial,business profit making societys,that benefit the few to the detriment of many free spirited feral instinct,human beings,who just want to live close to nature,and defend,with violence if necessary, their freedom to do so.
What do you do for a living
@@humansampler8445 I live for a living as best I can,and try to be a good righteous person,hence I am a financially poor man, with no social ,economic power or position in society,but I have my integrity and try to walk with the angels,not the devil's.
It is only recently I thought we might carry ancestral memories, but years ago I dreamed repeatedly about certain events which felt more as if they were memories of past lives and not dreams. Much later in my life when I did ancestral research, speaking of centuries past I was shocked to find professions cited, similar or the same as my own interests, even if none of my immediate family had none of those specific interests . Also the ancestral searches came up with with source of family roots which I had never known about but related to the dreams I had experienced. Having mentioned lightly about inherited memory some weeks ago was in return laughed at ......... but I feel it makes sense to believe that this in fact might be or account for reincarnation of sorts.
Listen to Allen Watts then it all makes sense. We're all the same being in the end. Nobody has an individual soul because there is only 1 soul, a single animating force for ALL things alive. Your body limits you and brings out an "individual" from infinity. Christianity tried to say this but screwed it up as humans do. Nobody knows where memories are stored. We could be antenna/wet robots like most say but they forget what animates us.
Very cool video. Thanks for the amazing information.
My father's family, who I take after, have lived in Chicago and the immediate area for about 175 years. While bicycling around the city I was irresistibly drawn to a few places that I would have to stop at every time. One was an old church, not very different from other old churches, but every time I stopped I had to touch it or take pictures. Also there was this empty lot near an interesting old building. I had to stop and linger. Years later while researching my family tree I found out that it was the site of a since demolished church. My family helped fund the founding of both churches and got married there. These were direct lines from my father's side. I also have always had an irrational fear of fire! In further family research in the same line I found out my g-g-grandmother lived through the Chicago fire... while she was 8 1/2 months pregnant! This is the same woman whose family founded one of the churches. This has happened to me so much I have started researching the places I am drawn to while doing family research and have never been let down yet. But this seems to happen only with my father's side. I do believe there's definitely something to genetic memory.
That is really interesting, I bet it's been fun to connect and learn from your family history.
If we really do pass down memories through germline and generations, Im curious as to what effect, if any, that would have on dreams! I wonder if dreams may be bits and pieces of memories, sometimes, of one of our ancestors.
Wow what a curious hypothesis!
I'm a little late to respond but just came across your video. I agree with your proposition of inherited memories (and other behavioral characteristics). The field of epigenetics isn't new, but the term epigenetics is becoming more recognized of late. If you haven't already seen or heard of the work of Dr. Bruce Lipton, he is worth checking out. He has some very good KZhead videos and his work comports with the body of your video. We are like icebergs, so much is unseen and waiting to be discovered. Great work!
Great; thanks for the suggestion John.
Yes, I just recently ran across Dr Lipton. He has a great and simple way of explaining things like these.
Wow! Just wow!
:)
Most wild animals express an innate fear of humans, even the very young. This explains why.
Yes I am 66 years of age and have had many experiences of past life memories...I always thought it was part of reincarnation of which I have believed in all my adult life ...my experiences started at a very young age around four or five years of age and still continue...and if the scientists can't figure it out let's see if they can find me I figured it out long ago .
This might explain the Native American predisposition to obesity and diabetes, since so many were forced to starve on reservations before their first crops could be harvested, denied the tools for hunting or the space to gather.
The video says the trauma only gets passed down to the next generation. No further. Native Americans were relocated in the 1800's.
I believe this is related to camouflage & mimicry in animals. I always theorized that somehow an organisms perception of environment has an effect on its cells.
Thats a really interesting way of looking at things
@@ceder4696 evolution makes a bit of sense, but camo and mimics are enigmas to me. How does an organisms physical form recognize what aspects of the environment or another creature to replicate? Has to do with perception(imo) and I only think that because I’ve seen when you observe a subatomic particle, it has an effect on the charge and position. How can a conscious being observing something cause it to react? All odd, very strange
@@Ebola-Kun maybe because of the nerve system chameleons and octopus have much better developed bodies than us.
@@ceder4696 octopi do have brain cells all throughout the body and their tentacles are seemingly autonomous. They are color blind yet due to the sensory cells in their skin, can still change their colors to match their environments. So there’s definitely a level of the awareness in the skin that are able to perceive color or light, in order to change to the correct colors/shades. Cellular communications, genetic memories, im beginning to believe these ideas.
@@Ebola-Kun i think it has more to do with texture. Maybe colors have different textures on a micro level.
🙏 Thank You So Much for the illumination on passing~on memories through genetic transmission! 🕯🌍
When watching the 2009 Chinese Mulan, I felt a pang during a scene of where the protagonist lived: a small village in an arid area of China. I couldn't understand it. It was a mixture of happiness to see the place but also of longing and sadness. Fast forward several years later, my mom told me that her side of the family might have come from generations of Chinese descent who married locals. Some people would derogatorily call her family Chinese, whenever they had issues with them. My mom also said that when she was a kid, having never seen them, she had dreams of the images of Buddha and Kwan Im statues separately. She only knew who they were when she became an adult and saw their depictions and names on tv.
Ancestral memories are passed down through physical attributes or within the DNA first then encoded after in the brain. For example, let's say your great-great-grandfather developed a skill in archery and was a good archer, the physical attributes will be encoded first within the DNA of the body and then will be encoded in the brain. Now, when his great-great-grandson inherits these physical attributes even if no prior memory about archery, his great-great-grandson will still have the same ancestral memory through muscle memory. The brain will coincide with the physical attributes of the body. Let's say the great-great-grandfather has a predisposition of developing a big forearm. Once the great-great-grandson inherits such physical attributes, he too will be predisposed to such skill in sports that requires targeting. It doesn't have to be archery, it could be darts, hockey, football, basketball, etc. Muscle memory kicks in after developing the DNA memory first.
Indeed it will be very interesting to see just what is the level of information and "memory" that can be passed down in this way.
I like the way you speak
Kinda logical tho My father is a good architect that attribute has been passed down to me and my sister
Well said couldn’t have said it better myself
My great grandfather never ever missed a coin on the ground, he would always pick it up and give it to my greatgrandma. one time i did the same by spotting a coin on the sidewalk and great grandma told me the story.
Great info!👍🏻
Great theories that could certainly shed light on the specific genetic mechanisms that trigger a predisposition toward mental health disorders, especially where environmental factors are not at play. (Ex: child of alcoholic parents is adopted at birth, raised in a healthy, nurturing environment, yet still develops alcoholism in adolescence or later in life) BUT the film could really do without the GIANT AND MASSIVELY DISTRACTING CLOSED CAPTIONING THAT BLOCKS HALF THE VIDEO FRAME... [Capitalization used for affect here]
We native americans believe we can inherent memories from our ancestors. My mother ask my one time how I knew how to do certain things that she nor my grandmother never taught me. I couldn't explain it. I just knew.
This is very interesting.
Animals do this as well. Always wondered how my dog knew certain things no one taught it to do to preserve it's health
What about when the one they inherited from could not even been related to them in any way.Different country, short time between, accurate records of the ones who passed, tee how their relatives jobs, how they died, and on and on. I don't see how that could be.

A friend training under Andrew Well performed a past life regression on me. I was a beautiful Asian woman living in a royal palace being taught by nuns. I ended up being killed for my beliefs. Of course I didn't believe it..I'm of Irish French descent..or so I thought. Turns out my DNA test showed I was Han Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese amongst other mitochondrial DNA!! My memory was of a Grandmother between 200BC and 200AD!!
It was your own memories of a past life as an asian woman. And it's most likely that you had in that past life an asian grandmother.
@@heinmolenaar6750 No, she is tapping into her ancestral memories.
Ancestral memories do not contribute to mental illness. They're supposed to hone the efficacy of our instincts to deal with life
Exactly! It is just that, They like to force everything to mean mental illness.
Totally disagree.
An assertion that just totally flies against actually understanding and studies of mental illness in today's society lol.
Do not make definitive statements that you cannot prove. Even these theories are presented as questions.
This would explain how evolution REALLY happens.
Epigenetics is evolution on an individual level.
"For memories to be passed down, they first need to be stored as physical structures in the brain. " This is a mistake, based on the uncritically examined assumption that the brain creates consciousness. Memories are stored in the mind, and accessed through the brain as its instrument. The mind takes on a body at birth and dissociates with it at physical death.
So are u suggesting memories can be stored and inherited in the mind?
I once had a dream when I was 19 where I was in a farm but I remember talking to a beautiful woman in a shack outside the barn she had brown hair and dark brown eyes it was during the 17th century it felt vivid and real but I didn’t feel like me if that makes sense.
This could also the basis for what we call intuition
The underlying mechanism may be the same as what Dr. Stuart Hameroff and Sir Roger Penrose theorize is the basis of consciousness, quantum states and entanglement within the neurons microtubules created by the same molecules mentioned here.
our brains are wirelessly connected to the external world like a wifi system. our genetic makeup aids with the constant communication. therefore there is no storage in our brains but get everything like cloud computing does.
I wrote a book about The Younger Dryas Impacts Theory, the bombardment of our planet just under thirteen thousand years ago, and how it is encoded into universal comparative mythology. When I introduce people to the subject they glaze over and desperately try to change the subject as if a gut feeling overcomes them to not venture into the subject. I'm convinced that the genetic memory of the global event prevents them, via fear and trauma, to acknowledge it and hide in denial and incredulousness.
yes that is fascinating and, I suspect, the origin of many myths including Revelation in the bible. I know what you mean people don't' knwo any history at all anymore nor do they seem to want to know anything much it's tragic. I couldn't possibly live that way without passionate curiosity
@@dragonfox2.058 It is really strange, like living in a Twilight Zone episode. Even top Archeologists, Astrophysicists, and Mythologists down to dragon and Halloween genres. It has been seven years and I finally donated it to my central county library as a local author and they gave it back and won't tell me the reason. I've met lots that are just waiting for the next better life, but almost all of them? The whole situation has pushed me into researching denial and other psychological issues, which I'm not so inclined to do, plus the books that I have read don't seem to actually get into it. Or they are so brainwashed by mandatory Carl Jung Philosophy that myths are just made up for the collective mental need instead of a dire warning from space. Freaky stuff in my opinion.

Many of those in this genre have a copy, yet they don't say anything as the subject matter is so controversial that it is shunned, even in the group, I don't blame them, except those who have banned me. Check out Prehistory Question Time LIVE! | THURS 17TH MARCH 2022, 20:00 GMT at 37:25 > denying the existence of a ~10'X1' road sign carved in stone at Gobekli Tepe! One would think, that millions would be interested in that practically the whole East coast of the states is covered in craters. Even the space agency advocates such events happened only to the dinosaurs, or on the outside of 100,000 years, and totally deny 13,000 years ago when we almost got wiped out and recorded around the world that is was down to the last man and woman. Don't list to that man he is a pseudoscientist! People don't want to admit that they live in a dream, the next one is promised to be a better, Armageddon is just one more in a cycle as the oldest 'saying' is the Destroyer, Creator, Preserver. We are within the genial climate phase.
@@bardmadsen6956 hey thanks dude
I think more from past lives we all have a running history of every life we have had.
Yes. You can also unlock more within lucid dreaming.
Let's not get carried away here, the memory hypothesis is still a hypothesis, the conclusion of the video was still the epigenetic functioning that's been known about for decades. The acetone study was cool, but again, we're talking episodic memory here.
Will this carry through PTSD be the downfall of the human species? Is H. sapiens' higher intelligence the result of carried through memories? Might highly intelligent alien species also suffer from the accumulated burden? Could this be the answer to the Fermi Paradox? If your parents studied calculus, will it come easier to you? Do parts of your ancestors' personalities ride around in your brain? Lots of questions arise from this topic.
Very informative and interesting video, but a word of advice: I understand and appreciate that the narrative is straight forward and matter-of-fact, as this is how any educational video should be, but be careful how you word things in regards to mental illness to avoid hurting your viewers. Even if it’s factual, to hear within the first 45 seconds of your video that people with mental illness are a burden to society and their loved ones is off-putting, to say the very least, and has the potential to be very damaging to someone in a low place.
Thanks for the comment Nadine. We chose the words carefully to signify that diseases can be a burden - not the afflicted people - but we can continue to work on improving our wording of sensitive topics like this.
I had the very same thought.
I think there's some truth, more than a little truth in the idea of ancestral memories. Language skills and good and bad habits do really get carried on to next generations. And there's that activated, and, or repressed stages of genes people get to have in a family in one generation or the other. These are the naked truths we can see in every day life. This is one of the main things that happen when mankind grows a notch up in evolution. Human beings are here in this earth to grow up and evolve and ancestral memories ought to be a natural test our environment poses for us all.
A very interesting line of though. I am quite intrigued with inherited memory. Particularly fascinating are Monarch butterflies. It can take up to 4 generations to complete one migration. Each generation is born knowing essentially where to go and how to get there. So there is no doubt inherited memory is a real phenomena. This could explain why certain traits run in familys, such as Artistic ability and mechanical aptitude. I'm supprised that there isn't more studies looking into this.
I think you can guess why if you tried. Not being a smart @, just being blunt about it.
@@cconder19 I'd be interested in how you think it happens, I don't think your a smart ass but I don't think you know either, especially since no one does.
This Could explain why i'm so Skinny, like my Father and my Grandfather
Is it likely there is a link between genetic memory and savants.
That would be interesting!
Genetic memory is both mental and physical.
What about the idea from Stuart Harmhof and Roger Penrose that microtubules have a memory function? There is DNA, epigenetic, and microtubules. three forms of memory!
There is a ‘brain’ in every cell. Every cell has memory.
Yeah. We are Billions of creatures united in one Being
Accha , can anyone enlighten me about one thing ..that we are basically carrying the ancient ancestral memories.. but what about our own past lives ? It's not genetically connected ..may be subconsciously ..So many questions are confusing my brain.. could anyone explain..
Genetic ancestral memories are stored in the subconscious mind , not in the "self".
@@Boris29311i still don't get it, like, this Genetic Memory is in my Subconcious mind, but how can i acess it?
The subconscious stands above the 'self' (you).95% of your decisions(thoughts )are coming from your subconscious.Look at it this way you don't own yourself but you are yourself. Some people have this as part of their worldview, if you don't have this it's kind of hard to understand You don't have access to the genetic memory. I have no idea about past lives (not your ancestors) I don't know how this works or if it's true It doesn't make any sense to me.
Memories are the result of experiences. Whithout experiences there are no memories. If i remember a past life. And someone says, no those memories are not yours, but the memories of an ancestor. Then i must have lived his life experiences. So, i lived another's life. Which is impossible. And complete insane.
Could also explain re incarnation?
So If we eventually clone humans you can tell the difference if they have genetic memories or not???
unfortunately doing such experiments on humans and making human clones and stuffs like that is totally illegal in the entire world ....and thats why we a still not able to get very far in human exploration despite having so much advancement in technology ........ :[
I have PTSD because my dad tried to murder me a few times, hope I don’t pass that memory on 😬
I say yes because as a baby I was already terrified of spiders before I could understand danger. How my mom got me to stop breastfeeding...put a rubber spider in her bra, tried 1x once she did, spider fell out on me, I backflipped off her lap and never tried to breastfeed again. (She'd almost miscarried my sister because I was under 1 and still breastfeeding and MD told her my sister could be delivered too early to survive if she didn't stop me immediately so harsh but desperate times needing desperate measures. )
All my life I was obsessed with certain people...One was my obsession with Anne Boleyn and Elizabeth I. Although I am an American I was always reading about the Tudors...Now, with Ancestory I have discovered Anne Boleyn's father and my 9x great-grandmother were siblings. Even more bazaar, I have always been strongly attracted to everything Middle Eastern..Odd for an Anglo. But Ancestory has revealed I am descended from an Ottoman Sultan Mehmed...who had an illegitimate child with a European noblewoman. I now understand why I crave Middle Eastern music and Turkish/Persian culture. 🎶 🎵 🤔
This video gave me a thought if the rapid technology we’ve seen in the past 25 years was a massive culture shock to our systems then perhaps the next generation upcoming will be full of adaptation and common sense?
It’s all making sense now , my dad fought in Vietnam that’s why spooked when things pop out of bushes.
More than the law of gravity the strength of memory allows the universe to function. Reincarnation is the shadow of memories !
Ive often thought deja vu might be the partial memories of ancestors
I believe that it is.
Nails scraping across a blackboard being irritating comes to mind, so Yes!
Swiss psychologist Jung talked about collective, racial memories.
SLAVERY COLONIALISM GENOCIDE! Imagine what all that trauma has caused, it explains the social engineering of the "hood." And when you see the RACIST yt KARENS and BOBS hateful and violent at supermarkets, gas stations, malls etc.. this science helps you understand their behavior better. A British study found that yt babies are racist against POC as young as 3 months old. Imagine the descendants of Native people killers and slave catchers, then you understand the killers of George Floyd and Ahmad Arbry. Epigenetics explains America 😱
Both he and Freud were dynamic thinkers about the psyche in their time (20s to 40s). Now considered insightful, but weak on hard data
I had a dream of being at a funeral before i was even born...timeline wise I i remembered it before i was born and i told my aunty about it she asked howd you know that? And I even knew where they buried my cuzzin 😮they told me i mustve heard it from someone before,but i said i remember it from a dream
Gene have really tiny memory storage, not much memory is transferred, if scientists can figure out how Gene memory is written, they can also figure out to extract memory and store it in physical storage.
Ok so yes, it can happen. But not any kind of momory only important (stored) ones, for ex.: memories of trauma, from big life long experiences.
This is real. I bought my house based on mainly a strong sense of being home. I grew up on the west coast and now live on East coast. I had no relatives here or any known family history of this area. I started looking into my genealogy and discovered my 5x great grandma’s family farm is less than one mile from my home. I also have other relatives buried 3 miles away. There is no other way to explain it than my soul knew it was home.
Not soul, but influences coded in genetics.
@@juno_the8774Could you explain this for me?
@@Sun-God2 you know how most animals such as cats for example, know what to do mere hours after being born? They know how to make sound, walk, etc. They know how to be a cat. The same way humans know how to blink or speak. It’s things we are coded and innately able to do. This applies with memory as well, for example how someone can have a very similar personality to say, their father, or grandmother, despite being raised differently and in different circumstances.
makes more sense than past lives
Isn't this in Dune with the Bene Gesserits
It's pretty obvious that memories are in some manner inherited, otherwise there would be no such thing as 'instinct'. It's nothing magical or taboo just because we haven't figured out how it works.
I have always believe this. Good to know that I wasn’t the only one
Good stuff.
Mind blown!
::Insert Jackie Chan meme here::
So how about behaviour such as nest building and how can such behaviours be passed from parents with different behaviours such that the offsprings behaviour reflects a mixture of both parents. Best building for example. Surely that constitutes memory of some kind? Regardless of how the memory is coded or stored or transmitted It’s all fascinating As is the fact that sometimes people can know ,as in feel so strongly about a knowledge, of something that they have never encountered. Yet they seem to know it? Or transferred memory with transplant recipients? Hmmm
Yes!
Apparently some but not all, my father loves to cook but I didn't inherited it, instead I had interests in martial arts maybe from my grandfather, but it seems my daughter inherited the same interests from me.
Yes. We all inherit past lives.
Great video.
Thanks!
I'm Extremely Skinny, My father and grandfather were also very skinny. No matter how much I eat, I always remain Skinny. Can epigenetics explain this?
Use gamma waves to ionize neurons at micron cubic scales in the gene therapy approach mouse brain at Stanford University to erase specific memories. With the gene therapy approach scientist's can see the mouses neurons firing in real time and deduce what part of the arena the mouse is in. So memory erasure is possible, if neuroscientists are too lazy to do this experiment then it cannot be done
finally, a video acknowledging lamarck better explained evolution than darwin
