DNA Comparison in Reincarnation Cases

[DarkStar]

Hey there,

I have come on to propose a possible experiment. I have quite a lot of personal experience in the field and have been dedicating myself solely to reincarnation research for some time now. It is very clear to me that this work is a part of my purpose, and it has also become my greatest passion. There is nothing I am more dedicated to than the study of reincarnation, which has now also expanded into quantum theory.

My story is quite unique and very involved. Themes of reincarnation have been relevant all my life, however my research really began to go into great depth after discovering an identity match to my case in December 2020. Every intricate detail of this person's life matches my story, and since this realization, I have investigated it thoroughly and compiled hundreds of pages worth of evidence, information, alignments, and confirmations. It has also led me to find other matches throughout history as well.

One of my past life matches is a person who became fairly well known after death, enough to warrant the preservation of their DNA in the form of a hair sample that is currently being kept at a college in the USA. I am wanting to conduct an experiment that could serve as a solid link between reincarnation and science, but am unsure who to contact about it.

I would be interested in submitting a hair sample of my own to compare to this other lifetime, and perhaps advance scientific understanding of reincarnation through scientific method and DNA fingerprinting/profiling.

I do believe this is the next big step in reincarnation research moving forward.

With that being said, has anything like this been done before? Is it something anyone would be interested in pursuing? I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

I have no clue, but I wouldn't expect there to be any DNA similarities unless you are genetically related.

Interesting. I'm not opposed to it, and if you manage to do it I would be curious about the results, as proving reincarnation through DNA is something that I have fantasized myself as well.

That being said, I don't think you'll find much.

I know that I was German in a past life. I took two different ancestry DNA tests in this life. Ancestry.com is terrible at picking up German ancestry and gave me at least 25% of garbage DNA from countries I'm sure I do not have any ancestry from. Now, 23 and me was quite accurate with the regions that match known family history from other countries. It also picked up 10% Bavarian. Part of my family were Volgadeutsch so it's not entirely a surprise, although for being only one great-grandparent I think the percentage should have been lower. It's also a bit surprising (or a mistake) that according to what I found, my family mostly came from Mainz, but no other regions of Germany were picked up by 23 and me. It's unclear if there were bavarians or not.

I belong to some ancestry projects as well, and my DNA matches the DNA of many other Volga Germans and I think I have quite a few matches in project Bavaria as well or whatever is called even when these people do not share a common ancestor with me in the past 250 years. So if I ever manage to get a past life DNA sample and compare it with my actual DNA and I get a match of 0.2% would that prove reincarnation? Most likely we would just share a common ancestor many generations ago, which wouldn't be that surprising either considering how many "5th cousins" we have in these ancestry websites. Also, how many past lives do we have? Is our current DNA a mix of all our past lives? Probably not, my current DNA matches my current family history overall quite well.

Therefore:
*Except you have a completely different ethnicity than your past life and you find similarities you wouldn't most likely know what is due to reincarnation and what to a remote common ancestor.
* If you are not looking for ethnicity but a particular sequence, what nucleotide sequence would that be? How did you that sequence is important?

Yeah, that would be the first thought when thinking traditionally, but we are still pretty early on in the timeline of scientific and technological advancement. It was only within the last several decades, since the 1980s, that DNA technology was adopted in forensics and crime investigation. Reincarnation investigation is a lot like crime investigation. It's only logical to assume there are still many new discoveries to be made in the future.

I have a sense that some sort of 'imprint' could be discovered in the DNA/atoms/physical properties that match across lifetimes. No one to my knowledge has taken a deep and genuine look for similarities in samples from potential reincarnation cases. So there is room here to explore.
(On that note, it would be interesting to test samples that are taken directly from birthmarks, also.)

That's interesting you mention this, I also have German running in my recent lineage of this life and across several past lives I have discovered. I also did an Ancestry DNA test that came up with very little German, despite my family having a long line of German surnames. I haven't tried to compare it yet with any other DNA companies. I'll admit this realm does go a little beyond my expertise. The lifetime I speak of in the original post does also have German in their lineage.

You bring up a lot of good points, and it's good to get them written.

I get the feeling that it would be less focused on the ancestry itself, but rather, some sort of new genetic/subatomic 'signature' that could prove that the soul present in the bodies sampled was the same soul, if that makes sense. Something that does not match others in the same family line. If something like this were possible, I think it would be a new discovery, not limited to that which is already known. I'm sure it would take many case studies and experiments to get there, but everything has to start somewhere.

I agree wholeheartedly that there is a link, something measurable that could establish past life lineage, but I don't think that missing link is contained in the DNA. After all, the DNA is just a series of nucleotides, something with an actual mass, something that perishes with the physical body. The soul, on the other hand, contains most likely physical information in the form of waves. These "waves" would interact with the new body and make it develop in a certain way. I have some small nodules/growths/disks in my ears that are somewhat unusual (I actually never seen anyone else with this) and would correlate with a similar past life trait. I wonder if they have an explanation in an even prior past life. Rather than sharing the DNA sequence for "ear nodules", I think it's more likely that there was "a disturbance in the energy field" that caused that particular area to grow those nodules in the process of soul/body interaction.

I don't think reincarnation correlates to morphology but to phisiology. It's the way we use our body that remains, not our body itself. That's why you often hear people say that they have the same gaze, the same smile, or the same gestures. Sometimes the overall "look" is the same but they are anthropometrically different. At the same time, when you look at a corpse, they are morphologically the same person but they don't look the same anymore.

About 10 years ago or so I had someone compare my current writing with a possible past life writing. While there could always be biases, she found similarities in things I never even paid attention to before. Meaning that, if I'm correct in the identity, then the movements of writing are the same, which in turn correspond to similar psychological patterns.

I think therefore that the first thing we need to do in order to prove reincarnation is to prove the existence of the soul and what the soul is "made of", and explain it in western scientific terms. Biofields and the interaction between the body and quantum forces are most likely involved, but I don't know enough about them yet and I lack enough knowledge in physics.
