DAVID: Wow. Supports my idea of species consciousness:

> dhw: Many thanks for this amazing article. I do hope BBella will read it, as it ties in with many of her ideas. What's described here is clearly reincarnation, but it's interesting that the memories fade ... as if a new identity gradually erases the earlier one. It also ties in with the cell memory article, in which some patients with transplants "inherit" character traits and memories of the donor. Quite different from NDEs, because then the identity returns to its original host. With all these strange phenomena, though, third party confirmation of otherwise unknowable information lends authenticity.-Don't thank me. I'm constantly looking for new approaches and findings. Yes they are veridical, a key element in accepting the finding.

> dhw: I can see very clearly how it all ties in with the concept of individual identities surviving the death of individual bodies, but perhaps, David, you could elaborate on how you think it supports the idea of species consciousness.-The concept of species consciousness from Sheldrake's work implies that at some electromagentic quantum level floating around in our reality some of us can pick up the signals and even act upon them unconsciously. The cross word experiment to point: Published in London, solving in x time by subjects. Published later in Liverpool and solved in less time!!! That is just one example of what he produced Across generations the memories are preserved for the babies in human species conscousness. Could there be another mechanism. Certainly. Monarch butterflies come to mind. Migration maintained thru 4-6 generations with metamophosis thrown in. How is that done? Genome memory probably, unless we invoke butterfly species consciousness, and must keep our minds open to that interpretation.
