A group of
researchers from the University of Minnesota studied the lives
of 8 thousand twins for twenty years, in the attempt of
discovering how hereditary plays an influence in the formation
of the human personality.
Special attention was paid to cases where
identical twins had been separated a little after birth, and
when adults ended up meeting one another again. According to the
scientists, the behavioral likeness, verified in these cases,
should be attributed to genetic factors and not to external
circumstances, since both possessed identical genetic genes and
suffered distinct different environmental influences.
The number of times that a certain
characteristic repeated itself in these pairs of twins, in
relation to the total of the groups researched, was then
considered as the percentage of genetic influence for the
triggering of this characteristic. Thus, happiness was defined
as 50% genetic feeling, since of the total of researched twins
that met again, half of them declared themselves to be happy.
Anxiety and susceptibility, in turn, demonstrated to have a
genetic pattern of 50% and 60% respectively. But aggressiveness
presented to be quiet a predominating genetic component, and
this study showed that criminality could, in fact, be
transmitted for father to son... By this criterion some
pathologies were also defined as hereditary. The researchers
showed themselves to be so sure of their results obtained that
they got down to some trivialities of extreme daring, like the
affirmation that “the habit of consuming coffee is inherited
more easily that the one of drinking tea”, what perhaps can
explain the unjustified absence of English twins in the locality
researched. In short, the study wants to make one believe that
all the coincidences found in the personalities of twins have
to, necessarily, be related to the activity of a common
gene.
This “necessarily” is found with sufficient
frequency in scientific works, stamped strategically and here
and there like a shield against undesirable interferences. Just
like other similar adverbial shields, this too has the function
of concealing ignorance, be it conscious or not. It is of a type
of protecting screen, quiet efficient to repel some shy
questions or doubts, however it shows itself to be extremely
fragile when questioned seriously and comes apart easily as if
it didn't exist, exposing openly what they are trying to hide
behind it: the incredible inherent restriction of the so-called
“scientific method”.
In truth it is a method that is far too
limited, that in all seen only mere physical effects are
distinguished, that are only apt to discern and assimilate - due
to its own material constitution - terrestrial contingencies
only. A method that is as restricted as it is despotic, as
whatever is above the terrestrial concepts of time and space,
whatever is not terrestrially visible and tangible, in fact, all
that it is before hand naturally
intangible, it drags by force into its narrow field of
performance and vision, without measuring consequences,
compressing it in its very limited and much defined guidelines,
in order to make it more or less understandable.
It doesn’t matter if there are a few gross,
inevitable mistakes when one uses this method to analyze
phenomena that take place outside the possibility of terrestrial
scientific assimilation. For the self-obliterated humans of the
intellect of our present day, any attempt of superficial
explanation is already quiet enough, as it is sufficient enough
for them. As long as, of course, it is necessarily
inserted in any scientific theory, which wins immediate
credibility and it raises it to a level of “provisional
unquestionable truth”, a necessary enough title to do justice to
the scientific community's indiscriminate admiration and for the
thoughtless idolatry of its legion of followers.
In my article “Black Sheep, Mothers for
Rent”, I affirmed that several contingencies contribute to the
taking place of a terrestrial birth. However, things’ happening
by chance is not one of them.
The many verified coincidences in the lives
of the twins just indicate that these individuals formed their
destinies in a very similar way, through their acts in other
lives whilst on earth. Consequently, they could incarnate under
the same terrestrial circumstances in this current life,
frequently receiving in the same way the reciprocal effects of
their past actions.
If 50% of the researched twins are happy,
then it simply means that half of them formed their destinies in
such a way that they could be happy in this current terrestrial
life. It would be complete waste of time to continue to uncoil
the human DNA in the attempt of finding a gene trigger for
happiness. Nothing will be found there. Only the human spirit,
as the only really live element, has the prerogative of seeking
and finding happiness, not the terrestrial body, it is nothing
other than a casing for the spirit, a simple tool for the
utilization of a terrestrial life. The same happens with the
other characteristics supposedly inherited and pointed out in
this study.
That’s why nobody has a motive to thank or
the right of lamenting one’s own genetic make-up for the
manifestation of a good or bad characteristic of one’s
personality. Whoever wants to know the proper origin of the
formation of the personality has to go much deeper in his
search, above and beyond the mere material casing called “body”,
so many times confused with the true “I” of the human being. The
sentiment of the “I” derives from the spirit exclusively, it
is the spirit itself, the only one responsible for the
formation of the personality and for whatever effects the human
being, be it good or bad, whether it effects him here on earth
already or only in the “beyond”.
Certainly many bodily ills are presented to a
larger or less degree by ones genetic predisposition, or they
are in fact integrally hereditary. This, however, doesn't mean
that suffering or not for them is a lottery, because there is
nothing that can strike a human being without he himself having
caused it. There is no such this as by chance, in the effects
of the laws that govern Creation.
Children that are carriers of hereditary
diseases were attracted through the vibration of the soul in the
incarnation exactly to the parents capable of transmitting such
a disease to them. The karma pertaining to the soul formed the
bridge of attraction for these parents. And often the incarnated
soul only brings the risk of contracting the illness on the
terrestrial body, it just inherited the danger of contracting a
certain disease by the genetic predisposition, which may or may
not manifest itself depending on certain circumstances.
Such circumstances, once again, are
established by the very conduct of that person’s life. It is the
case, for example, of the appearance or not of cancer by the
action of the so-called “oncogenes”, they themselves being able
to breakout or not from the “protooncogenes”. Science already
knows that when the oncogenes are activated cancer is unleashed,
but don’t think that this is exclusively in the hands of the
person himself, to allow it or not to happen, for cancer does
not only take root as a consequence of ones’ external way of
life, but, principally because of ones’ inner way of life.
A heavy karma, ready to fully manifest itself
through a serious disease, doesn't need to unleash itself with
all its potentiality on a person. For even in a dangerous
situation as this the human being is not abandoned, he doesn't
find himself defenseless. Even here he is the one to determine
his own path, to supply the threads so that the loom of Creation
can weave the carpet of his destiny. If he makes a real effort
to improve in everything, by purifying his will, his thoughts,
his words and actions, if he tries to ennoble everything he
comes into contact with, then no longer will any previous
anchorage take place for the integral carrying out of a serious
karma.
As he improved through self-effort, as he
ascended spiritually from where he was, consequently also he
won’t have the same species of bad karmic return anymore. He
cannot be fully affected by the bad karma to which he was
attached to, for the simple fact that spiritually he isn’t there
down below any longer, at the same level from where he generated
the return by the means of a wrong act that he had committed.
The harmful karmic effect can only affect him like this in a
very weak way, very weak indeed, symbolically, in a way that it
will be remitted the same way. A remitted karma signifies an
expiated blame! There is no other way for the forgiveness of
sins.
The attraction of the equal species - one of
the laws of Creation - also automatically co-participates here,
making sure that the retroactive effect will be just down to the
smallest detail in this process. The better a human being
becomes inwardly, the less he will be affected by the bad karmic
effects, be it in quantity or be it in intensity.
Once again it is recognized that everything,
but everything indeed, is always in the hands of the human being
himself. Only he is the lord of his own destiny, only he decides
what he will find on his journeys: pain or happiness, suffering
or joy, perdition or salvation. He decides, he plants, he
harvests. |
