I recall a recent study done that points to a specific part of the DNA that records memory
Is it possible that all memories are embedded into DNA yet only most important survival methods are ultimately recalled,
Except in freak occurrences, like the lady that had a stroke and woke up speaking German
What if the stroke damaged a link to the modern language learned,
And reverted to a previous connection/code embedded in the DNA of the subject in order to continue to be able to communicate ?
Thoughts ?

We all believe the parents are here to teach our kids in a one way direction. I believe the teaching is purely a two way direction. We can learn as much (if not more) from our kids as they learn from us.

I do have an autistic nephew who I had a conversation with lately. He is 12 and he says he regularly sees being such as knights and so on. I ask them if he thinks they are real or not. And he told me they seem as real to him as he could see me sitting next to him.
"no, I mean my other mommy"
"On that morning as they were walking out of the ready room, Andrea and James were stopped by a handsome man in a polo shirt. They had never seen him before.
The man looked down at James and asked in a hearty, robust voice, "Do you know who I am ?" James looked him in the eye, thought for a second, and replied, "You're Bob Greenwalt ". The man looked shocked. He laughed a little nervously and said "That's right."
Andrea asked, "You're really Bob Greenwalt?" And he said yes.
Later in their room, Bruce asked his son, "How did you know that ?" "I recognized his voice,"he told his father.
Even Greenwalt, who calls himself a "rational skeptic," was impressed."

When my 7 year old was only 4 he used to tell us stories about robots from outer space and how they are bad and wish to destroy humans.
I don't know where he got this from, could have been from is or TV who knows. It was quite entertaining and cute. He would speak of this often and in detail. He even drew pictures of the robot aliens. He seemed convinced.
I actually asked him about it the other day if he remembers and he still does. So I asked him if he still believes in his theory and told me of course.
To my kids its not a question of there being alien life but rather where it is. Probably due to the beliefs I instilled in them and because kids TV programming in rife with alien subject matter.
Either way my son was the only four year old I ever met who spoke of alien invasion and the possibility of autonomous life forms.
