Do You Care About the Memories of Your Ancestors?

Am I dreaming about my ancestors' memories? Or ... this question could be rephrased:

• Do I believe in genetic memories?

What a fascinating thought! I never even thought of it. (O.o) :) I'm pretty confident, however, that's not what my dreams are not the dreams of my ancestors.  That's not what my dreams are made of. :)  

Sharing a link (below) to an article titled:

Genetic Memory - Are You Dreaming Your Ancestors Memories?

The idea expressed in this article before becoming unpublished was very visual ... very imaginative ... very thoughtful.  It could probably even create dreams.  But as for the dreaming about the dreams of my ancestors?  Nah!

Not so much interested in the memories of my ancestors. But I would love to know what the memories of unborn babies are.  The following thoughts/questions were provoked by a New Testament scripture describing what happened when Mary greeted her cousin Elizabeth.  Elizabeth, at the time, was with child.  She was carrying her unborn son who would be named John and would come to be known as John the Baptist.  It is said that when Mary greeted Elizabeth, at the sound of Mary's voice, the babe leaped in his mother's womb.  (Luke 1: 41 -44)  The scriptures also state that John the Baptist had the Holy Spirit from his mother's womb.  (Luke 1: 15)  

I thought:  What else can unborn babies do? 

• Can unborn babies think? 
• Do unborn babies have memories? 
• Are they intelligent human beings just like the rest of us who were blessed to be reproduced and born without disruption, interruption, and interference?

LUKE 1

41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:

42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.

Albino Children : Innocence Versus Ignorance

At the age of about 8 or 9 years old, I saw a young boy who was “white everywhere”! His skin, his hair, his eyebrows! Asked my mother about him and she casually remarked: “He’s an albino”. That was the entire discussion. I accepted her answer and moved on.

Fast forward. I am an adult who has lived for several decades. You think you’ve seen so much that nothing will shock you. Then you learn of an atrocity. What people do to albinos. Many of the victims, innocent children.

There are people who believe body parts of albinos have magical powers. As a result, __________. No doubt you can fill in the blank. But if you can’t, here are two words that might conjure up some images in your mind. Mutilation. Murder.

The article reference below supplies additional information.

There is a community in Panama that adores their albino children. They are considered blessed and people call them “children of the moon”.

According to Kuna mythology, the sipus or the albinos are the only ones who can slay the dragon during lunar eclipses. Even though we know through the study of astronomy that there is no dragon which causes a lunar eclipse, it’s still nice that the customs and traditions linked to this myth resulted in protecting those sweet children, instead of harming them. Doesn’t that just relieve and warm your heart?
