ABSTRACT We all know that the human body is formed and developed; from the first spark of life at the moment of conception, through the emergence and uniting of complex cells, to the growth of the embryo and the fetus, and finally to the complete and perfect expression of the human form that we call a baby. We also know that this amazing process is governed by a holistic compound that we call DNA or Deoxyribonucleic acid. Does DNA only contain information and coding that pertains to physical life, the animal form of the human body, or does human DNA also carry innate inherited characteristics related to mind and spirit? If there is “Spiritual DNA” it cannot be “contained” within the physical DNA or it would perish at the end of the life of the physical body. Our spiritual DNA would be encoded within the human soul which is attached to and connected with the physical body, but separate from it, and with the correct care and training it is eternal and everlasting.
