The Ring
(Just Thoughts From My Weird Mind )

I hear the words from the pulpit but they are only like the sounds of nature, the birds singing, the wind blowing, rain drops on the roof.

No conscious comprehension of the wise words of wisdom I know are coming from the pulpit. My mind is somewhere else.

My eyes are on that silver colored ring on the second finger of my left hand. The thumb of my right hand is atop that ring and the index finger on the bottom as I slowly rotate the ring. Around and around and around and around hypnotically drawing my mind into the circle.

The ring of eternity. Alpha and omega, the beginning and the end. God is, always has been and will always be. Eternity backwards and forwards. Then how can there be alpha and omega? How can there be a beginning and end if eternity is forever in both directions?

That's what my ring is telling me. Life is a circle without end. Just as the clock at 2 knows the hand will reach 12 so does God see 20 years from now and into eternity without intervening in the God-like beings' decisions along the way.

Why does my mind wander? What secrets are locked, buried deeply in our minds? Are there memories within that magical essence beyond our most conscious time of birth? Do we, like the animals around us have instincts and what are instincts other than memories instilled within us from our ancestors of long ago? If such instincts are real, and we all know they are, what other memories might be buried even deeper within us?

Is it possible that the life events of our ancestors somehow remain coded into the depths of our DNA? We know that every physical characteristic is so coded within the DNA by how chemical molecule units are arranged on that long chain which if stretched out would be about six and one half feet long and if all the DNA in your body were laid end-to-end would stretch from the sun to the outer limits of the solar system. Every cell contains a pair of these DNA strands and together they provide 6.6 billion base pairs that can be arranged to make the code that makes you. As amazingly complex and powerful as this known characteristic of DNA is, it is not enough to code within us the memory of all those who have gone before.

But maybe there is something there beyond our understanding. Scientists have learned about the chemistry of DNA and can “read” the code of many of those base pair arrangements but this knowledge is still based only on the individual chemicals contained on the DNA.

Is it possible that within each atom of each of those base pairs there exists unknown characteristics which provide such infinitesimal powers that the life experiences of all our forefathers are buried within us?

How else can we explain instincts? And if we have instincts how much deeper can other memories be?

Even though they may not emerge to the surface of our conscious memories, can they not influence that conscious mind? Could the many stories of reincarnation have their roots in the triggering of those deeply imbedded memories?

What do you think?
