SPIRITUAL DNA: AN INTRODUCTION

I am my soul’s legacy.

I wrote this piece to explore Spiritual DNA. It was from the Creator that all things emerged, as s/he was the One who breathed into life innumerable aspects of his/her Divine Being. Our spiritual inheritance is older than the dust of ages. The term Spiritual DNA itself reveals an evolution in our understanding of the nature of our soul. ~ Gloria

What is Spiritual DNA?

Just as our biological DNA transmits physical traits to the body, spiritual DNA transmits certain essential elements of your Soul to your soul. It transfers elements unique to your Soul, but it transmits only some of those elements to each incarnation, and these are the gifts that you will need to carry out the intention for a particular life. Each life has a role in the legacy of your evolving consciousness. The trajectory of your soul, that which is described by the journey of your incarnations, reveals your evolving consciousness.  

Your spiritual DNA will ignite in you excitement and desire for specific experiences. This is your cue that you’re on the right track! Does your spiritual DNA change from lifetime to lifetime? Yes. The combination of soul traits and personality is unique to each lifetime because each lifetime’s purpose varies, and thus is given the DNA optimum for carrying out that purpose; that is, your spiritual DNA is encoded with the information you need to live your best life.

We incorporate into our ever-evolving consciousness the experiences gathered from each lifetime. Each lifetime offers unique education. For example, you might have the opportunity to understand what it is to be black, female, or gay in a time and place in history where these classifications are seen as inferior. How we interpret and receive the impact of our classroom time also informs our beliefs. We form beliefs around our experiences of rejection and hostility as well as acceptance and opportunity.

What is the mechanism of transfer of Spiritual DNA?

The Soul has its own genome; that is, it carries a template of traits of its unique identity. The Soul genome contains, in the form of quanta of energy, innumerable bytes of information. Spiritual DNA imprints itself onto physical DNA; it imprints those attributes needed for the soul to fulfill its contract for an incarnation. These attributes guide the person via the steady influence they exert. We will be drawn to be and do those things that are encoded in our DNA, both physical and spiritual. The energetic forms and specific mechanisms of transfer of the Soul’s genome to the physical is unknown. It seems likely the substance is not material as we understand that; it is perhaps a biofield inherent to a Soul’s unique make-up.

Your Spiritual DNA compels you.

There’s a force inside you that compels you. Joseph Campbell said that we should follow our bliss. Following your bliss helps you find fulfillment. It is the force that compels you to seek your purpose, that is, your reason for being.

Why is exploring Spiritual DNA important?

Your spiritual DNA drives you. The more you understand what drives you, the greater your grasp of your special role in the history of consciousness. Your spiritual DNA is a vast living library of information about who you are, including where you’ve been and the impact you’ve had on others and your own evolution.

When you become aware that you carry within you, via your spiritual DNA, the answers to your questions, you can access everything you need to know about who you are and what you came here to do. Your soul intentions are encoded in your spiritual DNA.

Spiritual DNA does not have to be directly inherited.

Spiritual DNA is not solely inherited through your Soul’s genome. We may choose to associate with groups that are aligned with specific teachings and perspectives. Thus, spiritual DNA can be absorbed through immersion in other cultures. We also transmit spiritual DNA to others when we educate, teach, and mentor them. Just as the biological components of genes are passed from body to body, understandings received through mentoring and group experiences can become encoded into spiritual DNA.

The consequences of accessing your Spiritual DNA.

It can be terrifying to realize that we have the power to create our lives. This power is encoded in us via our DNA. Caroline Myss says that every human being is terrified of becoming empowered. We fear this, she says, not because we fear success, but because in becoming more conscious of who we are, we will have to take responsibility for what we create. We will see more clearly what we are here to do, and realize that we can no longer hide our yearnings or pull the blinds down and say that what is happening outside is not our problem.

When you accept who you are and accept that it is you who manages your life, you will also be able to identify the agenda for your life.  You will know what motivates you to get out of bed. When you become empowered, your relationship to life changes. You are now the one calling the shots.
