Interesting theory and perspective as always, OMJ. Like your post about spirit in machines, it makes me think of things I haven't thought of before.

Maybe we have many types of blood memories then with some being stronger, or some that we relate to at certain times in our lives. I have an affinity for Germany though I've never been there. And I have had dreams where I am in a Germany from long ago and I speak German easily in the dream. Maybe it's a blood memory (though I don't know of my ancestry so ).

On a side note, I have conceived of the idea before that our spirit chooses from the array of DNA attributes available those which best suit our life plan. So all those traits are in us like cards in a deck, but we pick which ones we want to highlight.

Any more thoughts on it, OMJ? And have you always known you were Russian?
