A Truth About Deja vu and Reincarnation

Deja Vu 

Many of us have had the feeling that we have been here before and we use the French phrase Deja Vu, literally "already seen" to describe these moments.  For me, it literally feels like I have been here before, and been doing what I am doing in the moment, as if I dreamt it first.  However, there is another kind of feeling that has come over me while under the influence of psychedelic mushrooms, an understanding that I have actually been here before, not a feeling, but more like a distant memory.  

General George Patton

During WW2, General Patton had many such premonitions where he remember himself taking part in many ancient battles.  He wrote a poem about it called "Through a Glass Darkly". Here are a few stanzas :

Through the travail of the ages,
Midst the pomp and toil of war,
I have fought and strove and perished
Countless times upon this star.

In the form of many people
In all panoplies of time
Have I seen the luring vision
Of the Victory Maid, sublime.

I have battled for fresh mammoth,
I have warred for pastures new,
I have listened to the whispers

When the race trek instinct grew.

His beliefs were even portrayed in the movie Patton, and can be seen here:

Reincarnation

The simple truth is, you weren't so much as born again, you have never really died in the first place.

While it may be easy to dismiss the concept of reincarnation, I think the truth is more scientific, and the fact is we all had past lives, and those memories are stored in our DNA.  Our brain's make memories, they record stimulus and response into a unit of information.  I believe that information is stored in the DNA. 

We use our brains to make and access memories, but Im not sure the memories are actually stored in our brains.  I believe that experiences get translated into a response/stimulus code, think of instincts.  We are born with behavior programmed into us,  and these are the ancestor memories, their experiences woven into our genetic code as behavior, and sometimes we actually can remember the experiences of our ancestors as real memories. Furthermore, I'm inclined to believe these memories can come from our experiences as a sperm and egg.  

Before you born you were a sperm and an egg.  Think about that for a minute.  Two distinct living cells that come together to make a new cell.  Each cells has its owner's DNA, and the new cell combines the DNA to make a new code, and part of this code are the memories of the parents, which become your instincts. While the other DNA code makes your physical body. But what about your experiences as a sperm and egg?  What sort of consciousness do they possess?  Can you have memories of those experiences?  I think so.

Under the experience of psychedelic drugs, many people hallucinate alien-like beings, weird insectoid creatures.  Other's claim to see UFOs, or fairies, or DMT entities. I've had some pretty weird experiences myself, but I never believed these hallucinations were real, but that my brain was under the influence of drugs. What I do believe is that these drugs stimulate epigenetic changes, and during the process the brain is able to access your ancestral memories in an effort to reconfigure the way your body reads your DNA.  

Epigenetics

Epigenetics is an emerging field of science that studies heritable changes caused by the activation and deactivation of genes without any change in the underlying DNA sequence of the organism. The word epigenetics is of Greek origin and literally means over and above (epi) the genome.  https://www.genome.gov/genetics-glossary/Epigenetics 

                              

Scientists have discovered that your genes can change through environment, behavior, and even food like mushrooms.   That's right, mushrooms can induce epigenetic changes too.  In fact, mushrooms might induce epigenetic changes to fight cancer. From https://www.whatisepigenetics.com/magical-mushroom-fight-off-cancer-epigenetics/

In one of the first studies assessing the potential benefits of mushrooms against bladder cancer, these researchers found that the growth of human cancer cells was reduced from 60 to 90 percent and that histone deacetylase activity was significantly lost. The results were obtained by examining the effects of three distinct PL extracts on UCC cells in vitro.

HDACs are epigenetic enzymes that remove chemical groups, known as acetyl groups, from histone proteins. DNA wraps around these histones and the expression of our genes is changed depending on how loose or tight the structure is. Read more about chromatin remodeling and the impact it has on gene expression.

These mushroom extracts were able to induce a change in genes that resulted in the death of cancer cells.  So if mushrooms can change the way your genes interact and kill cancer, maybe the psychological changes that occur are also genetic?  I don't know, but I know you could perform experiments with psychoactive mushrooms and study the genetic changes that occur.  I think that there is a real possibility that we can sometimes access these ancient memories and its part of the evolutionary process.   

Part 2 will discuss the idea that DMT entities are just memories from your cellular past.
