I AM IN YOU AND YOU ARE IN ME
Dear Friend,
If you think you are your body and that it is exclusively you, think again. Researchers have now found that within us, we contain cell “groups” inherited from our ancestors and current parents. At the Leiden University Medical Center, small populations of Y cells[1] with a different genome were found in bodies of women who died either during pregnancy or within a month of giving birth to sons. They determined that fetal cells migrate during pregnancy into the mother’s body and function within her like her own cells.[2],[3] This is known as microchimerism, which means that cells from one person can coexist in another genetically distinct person.[4] These microchimeral fetal cells have now been observed decades later in many different organs and tissues, including the blood, skin, liver and brain of both the mother and her children.[5]
Originally it was thought this was found exclusively with boys and their mothers. Now however, it is shown to be present in mothers of girls, too. It is as yet not known whether this is to the detriment of the mother or not. The fetal cells are able to take on the function of the surrounding cells, as for instance in the mother’s heart. Some schools of thought hypothesize that fetal cells modulate and boost the maternal immune system, helping to heal wounds, for instance, while others question their role in the potential formation of tumours. A higher frequency of fetal cells has been found in the circulation of maternal tumours, but whether they drive cancer growth or fight it, is still to be deduced.[6]
Dr Thomas Kroneis, who studies rare cells at the Medical University of Graz, has even questioned the meaning of “self” with respect to our immune system.[7] Colloquially, we refer to the white blood cells as fighting disease like an army. Now, it would appear that more than one individual’s cells may make up our so-called “personal” army – a truly collaborative defence force!
In Key 3-1-3: 48 we are told that our “physical vehicle contains many levels of life as an ongoing assemblage of nuclei, microtubules, and neurons”.[8] It appears that some of these cells may be microchimeral and inherited from our ancestors. Key 3-1-5: 112-114 also tells us that in a repeating cell unit process the Adamic image in cellular form is repeated over different generations and through different energy gradients until our membrane is remade into “the Image of Higher Evolution.” [9]
Microchimerism thus does not stop with one generation. The work of Cann, Stoneking and Wilson precipitated our understanding of the Mitochondrial Eve,[10] the name given to the most recent common matrilineal ancestry that passed to most of us parts of the mitochondrial genome that survived natural selection and genetic drift. There is thus an unbroken line of mothers reaching back to Mitochondrial Eve who continue to pass their mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) to their female and male offspring. Of course, our Mitochondrial Eve’s genetic inheritance in all probability goes back to a previous Mitochondrial Eve, and so on. However. we share not only a portion of our mother’s cells, but also the ancestral mtDNA, containing the experiences of our forebears.
If we expand the concept of shared cells to the field of consciousness and the particles making up our world, we encounter the mystery of quantum entanglement, which has shown that particles that have shared space with others, even when separated, continue to demonstrate quantum interaction unaffected by distance. This may also relate to why mothers know, often instantaneously, about their children’s difficulties, even while at a distance.
Moreover, by definition we remain connected to every single one of our ancestors, so when I heal an aspect of myself now (present), this aspect connecting to my ancestors (past) may be healed too, and by extension, my progeny (future). Certain practitioners of healing modalities like Psychoneuroimmunology have even posited that in deep meditation, generational healing may take place when we are able to access and change the original charged thought of an ancestor that gave rise to an aspect passed on genetically and perhaps energetically, leading to repeated trauma.
We thus have an impact not only on our past, our present and our future but also on all the people to whom we have been connected, extending into the various dimensions of consciousness that surround us. So, if we do the personal and spiritual, we are assured of effecting both personal and generational healing as we uplift all connected consciousnesses on our journey back to the Source that created us into His Image and Similitude.
In Thy glorious Name, O Yahweh Echad, let us move consciously into Oneness with you
as we realize that we are not separate for
we are all emanated from the One Eternal Source.
With Love and Blessings,
