Hereditary memory

Laws and facts of hereditary memory and descent (Orson Squire Fowler)

Hereditary, ancestral, genetic, inherited or even racial memory and rarely also ancestral karma (German: Erberinnerung) or as a prelude genetic awakening (German: Erberwachen) is an ariosophical term coined by Guido von List and describes the biologically inherited collective memory of ancestors since the proto-Germanic period. Hereditary memory and the communal consciousness of a people, the historical awareness of common origins and shared destiny, condense symbols in myth into the community-building possession of a nation (Volksgemeinschaft). Primal memory, often confused with instinct or providence, thus unlocks primal knowledge, whose most important foundation is the ancestral thread (German: Ahnenfaden).

“From the cosmic knowledge of our ancestors arises a universal responsibility for us today.”

The opposite of hereditary memory is the tabula rasa theory of consciousness, favored by the English political philosopher John Locke, for example, but which (as language learning and the experiences of raising children alone demonstrate) has no basis in reality. Hereditary memory has points of contact with reincarnation, although its proponents believe in a memory of previous, repeated lives. Hereditary awakening, on the other hand, understands these metaphysical flashbacks as memories or awareness of the inherited experiences of ancestors present in the DNA (more precise via inheritance of RNA molecules which obey different rules altogether, regulating gene activity, according to "The Second Law of Biology").

History

Hereditary memory is based on the sometimes transcendent realization that we are ancestors and that the synthesis of the blood of the past and thus of the future forms the foundation of the superior Nordic race. The racially bound genetic makeup, the hereditary makeup, and the associated hereditary memory, represent the structural basis for all human cultural development, which, along with universally valid anthropological characteristics, are the most important prerequisites for cultural achievements.

Everything that goes beyond our ancestors or hereditary memory and can be called "knowledge" is based on their records and research, especially on their interpretations, which are mostly determined by the religious powers (e.g., the Vatican's ecclesiastical dictates) and the victors of war (especially the Germanophobic propaganda before, during, and after the world wars).

During a transformation of contaminated sewer water into clean drinking water, the naturalist and inventor Viktor Schauberger was asked by a scholar where he derived his knowledge of these processes. Schauberger replied that no one had taught him; he himself possessed the gift of "hereditary memory." When they asked him what he meant by hereditary memory, he replied that everything is corpuscular, including energy waves and light. Matter, too, is rigid energy. The same applies to blood, which is a materialized energy stream in which energy carriers from past generations live and are carried on.

"This person does not need to speculate, for he sees the difference between modern and prehistoric knowledge and can therefore choose between science and knowledge." This stream is not interrupted by a person's death but is passed on to their descendants. If these energies are not destroyed, the thoughts and beliefs that have been circulating in human consciousness for millennia could not be lost. Consequently, those with inherited memory would be able to extract the accumulated knowledge from their blood.

Theories

Socrates and Plato

During its time of incorporeality or disembodiment, the soul is given the opportunity to contemplate the ideas, the absolute, time-independent archetypes of all individual things, in a “super-heavenly place.” Since this perception is directed at the ideas themselves and not at the objects of the sense organs that merely resemble them, it is not afflicted with the uncertainty and deficiencies of deceptive sensory perceptions. Rather, it is a direct and error-free perception of what really exists, of true reality. The objects of this perception are exclusively unchanging givens; contingent facts do not belong to this "primal knowledge" of the soul. In the course of its sojourns on earth and in the underworld, however, the soul has also acquired knowledge of many individual contingent things, and this knowledge also remains latent within it. The contemplation of contingent individual things can evoke in the soul memories of the ideas of which the things are images.

"The fact that secret doctrine was necessary and actually still exists today, for although the ultimate secrets lie before all eyes, it is precisely the scholars who deny them, is proof of the old threefold division into 'gods,' 'Goths,' and 'mongrels.' They still hold true today. Hereditary memory of earlier conditions of the earth, flood legends, ice ages, and so on, is innate only in the Goth. Aryan soulless, overly humanized, be it spiritually or physically. Subhumans, decomposed with ape blood, have no hereditary memory and therefore deny it. They must rely on new theories every thirty years in their 'scientific' forays into the past. Incidentally, whoever wants to get to the bottom of all secret doctrines must understand German, understand German very well, because the key to all secret doctrines is given in the Aryan original language, which long remained the secret language of the Aryan priesthood, to which German, as its eldest daughter, is still closest. It's easy to deny intuition, inspiration, and hereditary memory, from which all our knowledge, actually a re-discovery, consists, if one doesn't have it, or only to a small extent [...] Anyone who unnaturally tells themselves that it doesn't exist will never capture the waves of thought. All knowledge is hereditary memory, says Plato! — Rudolf John Gorsleben

During an earthly life, the soul has no direct access to the intellectual knowledge it possessed before this sojourn in a body. However, it always remains latent within it, and it fundamentally retains the ability to remember it. This ability is activated when the soul receives a stimulus that prompts it to search for lost knowledge. The stimulus can come from sensory impressions that require conceptual interpretation or from a conversation that inspires further investigation. Since nature forms a unified whole, familiar to the soul in its entirety, every observation and every clue can provide such a stimulus and trigger a memory of a specific forgotten detail. From this memory, access to other details and ultimately to all temporarily lost knowledge can be gained. The only prerequisite for this is the necessary perseverance.

For the Platonic Socrates, every insight, every learning, is nothing but recollection and thus inherited memory. The assumption that all learning is a rediscovery, a reactivation of existing knowledge, is intended to explain how one comes to seek and find something seemingly completely unknown, even if one doesn't even seem to know what the goal of the search is at the beginning.

Guido von List

Already in the boy Guido von List, intuitive "hereditary memory" had awakened, allowing him to penetrate the supernatural. He attributed his conversion to a visit as a fourteen-year-old to the catacombs beneath St. Stephen's Cathedral in Vienna, where he knelt and vowed to build an altar to Wodan as soon as he was an adult. List's hereditary memory went hand in hand with prophecy, the "rune murmuring," since the runes established a connection to the past, to the restoration of ancestral memory, hereditary memory.

"The inner certainty of the divinity and eternity of one's own self finds its outward expression in the belief in the transmigration of souls, a belief that even today becomes the certainty of experience for anyone who has inherited sufficient racial heritage on their path through life. 'Never has a myth,' says Schopenhauer, 'and never will one adhere more closely to the philosophical truth accessible to so few than metempsychosis (transmigration of souls). It is the ultimate in mythical representation [...] it is an ancient doctrine found among all peoples, with the exception of the Jews.'" – Rudolf John Gorsleben (1883–1930)

Von List, like other cultural protectors, was of the opinion that science must once again become “poetry,” hence condensation. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe wrote:

“The spirit world is not closed,

Your heart is closed, your mind is dead.

Arise, bathe, student, undaunted

Your earthly breast in the dawning!”

Hereditary memory in Hitlerism

"Today, one speaks of 'chromosomatic' memory as that essential force in which, following a specific hereditary line, the remembering of the past lies. It is therefore a matter of memory, it is the hereditary memory that lies in a family, a tribe, a race, or a people. The chromosome forms the cell nucleus and consists of deoxyribonucleic acid, the so-called DNA, in which the origin of life is assumed. The genes it forms are like the cornerstones of those cathedrals that have been handed down to us, like its dolmens. When viewed under a microscope, the chromosomes give the impression of small columns. The term chromosome is composed of chromos (color) and soma (form, body), that is, color and form. In this rests remembrance, memory. For the Aryans of India, the revivers of the Vedas, caste = varna equals color. That is, caste was created so that during the conquest of the Dravidian In the lower part of India, the color (of one's own race) was not lost. The word caste was coined by a Portuguese sailor and refers to the division of cattle into different species. The Aryans must preserve their memory, their love, the memory of the Far North, of Hyperborea. And their sacred spiritual drink was called Soma, the drink of immortality, derived from trees that no longer exist, perhaps from the Tree of Blood, the Tree of Paradise in Ultima Thule of the Far North. The original lifeblood, Soma, has been lost. It was white and was drunk on the summit of the mountain in the Far North, on Meru, at the Dhruva or Pole, at the crown chakra (the Sahasrara chakra), at the highest point of the god-man's head. It was the spiritual drink of immortality. The Haoma of the Persians is no longer the original Soma. Its color, varna, chromos, has changed; it has become yellow. It is no longer the same Hyperborean, spiritualized race. And the Vril force, the power over two worlds, has also been lost. Later, the Haoma is also lost. The red, thick wine then takes its place, as it is used in the ritual sacrifices of Dionysus and also in the Christian mass. This is already a dark drink, which caused the memory of the earth's inhabitants to fade." – Miguel Serrano, in: The Golden Band – Esoteric Hitlerism

Ancestral thread

The "ancestral thread"—also called the "ancestral bond"—is popularly referred to as the comprehensive spiritual awareness of belonging to a particular race within a people, of one's own lineage descending from the ancestors of one's own people, and the inner feeling and associated emotions directed toward the future through the procreation of one's own children. It is also the most important inner force for every member of a people to be able and willing to preserve their own people. This "thread" thus ensures the ethnic survival of a people, ideally a Kulturvolk.

Epigenetics in learning and memory

While the cellular and molecular mechanisms of learning and memory have long been a central focus of neuroscience, it is only in recent years that attention has turned to the epigenetic mechanisms behind the dynamic changes in gene transcription responsible for memory formation and maintenance. Epigenetic gene regulation often involves the physical marking (chemical modification) of DNA or associated proteins to cause or allow long-lasting changes in gene activity. Epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation and histone modifications (methylation, acetylation, and deacetylation) have been shown to play an important role in learning and memory.

Quotes

"Valuable knowledge of our ancestors has [...] been forgotten [...] The earth has been the home of the Germanic tribes since ancient times [...] as all the children of our tribes [...] remember their true origins. Only remembering entices every soul to dance with the light." — German author Petra Baumgart, in: Tanfana – Göttin der Marser

• "Our culture had become null and void because we had despised our language; this language had become null and void because we had ceased to be a Volk. This is a circle that never opens, so much are language and culture intrinsically one with the people." — Ernst Moritz Arndt

• "When a young person has lost the spiritual heritage of the culture in which he grew up and has found no substitute in the spirituality of another, he is barred from identifying with anything or anyone; he is truly a nothing and a nobody, as can be clearly seen today in the desperate emptiness of many young faces. Anyone who has lost the spiritual heritage of culture is truly disinherited." — Prof. Dr. Dr. h. c. mult. Konrad Lorenz

• "A spiritual and mental awakening and memory of heritage is becoming increasingly evident among the Germanic people of Germany. It is being triggered intensifyingly by the external and internal distress of enslavement under the hostile world domination and its mechanization of all life in the service of a completely externalized and materialized, momentary worldview." — Prof. Dr. Hermann Felix Wirth

• "Because the poet Paul Gruner-Bonacare, who values himself in insight and experiences the memory of the past and the future mystery, knows that nature cannot be condensed in any other way than symbolically, he could only form the character of humanity as an all-embracing symbolon." — Dr. F. Stahl

• "When the archives of the interrogations conducted at the Nuremberg Trials are opened today, we find evidence of what we have known for more than thirty years: Hitlerism attempted to regain access to the Nordic-polar myth of Thule of the High North by renewing relations with the Unknown Leaders from Agarthi and Shamballah, in order to reinforce all its actions there, right at the very heart of the legend. These mythical cities are mentioned in the statements of some of the defendants, as is the polar region in the land of the farthest midnight. Thus, a secret alliance had been formed to revive love, the remembrance of the deepest ancestral memory of blood and the light circling within it." — Miguel Serrano

• "Our ancestors knew that all the fantastic myths they invented were born of ancestral memory. In the work 'Triumph of the Will to Immortality,' reflection on the facts of evolutionary history and comparison with the great religious myths of creation, the lost paradise, and the return led us to the fact of a broad agreement between the two. We saw them arising from the ancestral memory of the soul and encountered here the same wisdom of our ancestors, which we would hardly have been able to interpret in its depth before. Recent research provides us with renewed evidence of how closely all the myths of the Edda are based on ancestral memory, and future natural science will surely discover many striking similarities between these myths and the fates of distant pasts." — Johannes Fahrenbruch

• "A strange 'total' feeling of well-being after a long walk in honor of the blossoming cherry trees and the yellow rapeseed fields. If the 'moods' ever resulted solely from constellations of the physical, they would be no less mysterious. I believe that they are full of hereditary memories; that from far and deep within you, something is growing like a black tree." — Timo Kölling
