"Justification and Genetic
Memory"
by Melanie
Anne Phillips
Weve talked frequently about the concept of
justification and trying to get down to first level justification where we are dealing
with thought, knowledge, ability and desire directly. In fact, it's not really getting
down to first level justification, because thought, knowledge, ability and desire are the
intrinsics that we feel based on our genetic programming, so they cant truly be
accessed consciously.
Now, according to mental relativity theory, genetic
programming occurs in the DNA. And it is mean average of all the experiential database of
every creature that lived, up until the point that it procreated. In other words, our own
genetic code is being altered by our own experience, changing the value of instinct, based
upon the experience of the individual. However, the individual is averaged in with
everything that came before meaning that we end up with a very heavy base of instinct
that's very hard to change.
Now, I'm sure there is a mechanism for that base of
instinct to be balanced against current experience in such a way that experience does have
an impact even in one life span of something of a great and catastrophic nature. It's
going to really offset the programming that's already in there. For example, if someone
leads a life which is very close to instinct, there's not going to be much change in the
genetic base. It's not going to add anything to it, it's not going to alter it.
However, if one leads a life that's completely
contrary to instinctual base, then in that case, it's going to alter it considerably more.
Still in all the weight is with the instinct, with the genetic code. And the change that
occurs in it is not that great in the course of a life span. However, now we get to
today's society. And in today's society, we have no direct connection with survival. We've
gotten so many generations away from survival. We don't have to farm, we don't have to
hunt. We don't have to defend ourselves in general against wild animals or even against
our own kind, because of society.
Now, as a result, all the instincts that we have
are no longer applicable, in a very short time, because civilization has been around a lot
shorter time than the DNA genetic memory of instinct. So, we find ourselves constantly
having thoughts, abilities, knowledge, desire, all of these things that push us in
directions that are not appropriate for our current society. Therefore, what we're doing
when we get our justifications in order is not getting down to first level justification,
which would be purely operating in response to our genetic code, but rather we are
balancing that genetic code, so that it's completely counter balanced and then we can deal
only on the basis of our current experience as individuals in society for making
decisions, not just in response at all to the genetic code that drives us -- that has been
nullified or counterbalanced.
