RE: 'Karma' and 'sin' as primitive models describing modern Evolutionary Biology
i have been thinking in this vein for a while. the most useful definition/translation for karma i've found is "habits we make for ourselves". this seems to be able to be used to include things like epigentics, but also things like the incorporation of movement practices, such as tai chi, into our daily function. when we practice healthy diet, healthy movement, and even healthy thought enough, these become the patterns that we follow even when we are not consciously mindful.
thank you for this post.
Thanks for this :)
Yes, I think you're onto something. John Lennon sung about Instant Karma, and it makes sense that we influence each other, and our self, on the scale of a lifetime, and on the scale of a few seconds.
it appears that it goes even further than a lifetime with epigenetics. i have been unable to pin down anything solid as of yet, but have seen discussed from four, seven and even 12 generations. if we include climatic adaptation, which would include diet, and include evolution itself, it seems to be not limited at all, and takes on a fractal appearance.
Fractal is the perfect word.
