Genetics and soulmates.

Are you wondering what importance is there to genetics in reincarnation? Maybe you cannot have a child of your own and you wonder where the bond comes from.

Spiritually speaking, the relation that your genes have with your family members has NOTHING to do with the bond that you feel for them. That bond is spiritual in nature, not genetic. At the same time, what you look like has something to do with your genes, but your soul built the way you look because that’s what your soul looks like, out of the possible combinations that you could have put together at the moment of your conception – that’s what I believe. Like the available building blocks are in the genes, and how you used them to create your body was up to your spirit at the time. Don’t like your face? Your fault. 😉 Something about it works for you.

The reason why we look like our parents is that people try to be like the people we love, right? When we love someone, we want to be as much alike as we can, because we like being lovable. If I find a joke funny, soon, I’ll tell the joke to someone else or adopt a similar sense of humor as someone I love the sense of humor of. If I admire something about you, I try to somehow become like you, so I’d like myself more. Eventually, the people who love each other start looking like each other, too, and these people become our soulmates; our family, friends, and lovers.

We are all a collection of our the traits we love and admire about other people the most. We are all our own display of perfection – and it can take very surprising forms; you might admire people who are not very flashy, who are humble, modest, and even catastrophically disfigured – but brave or humorous or… Whatever. What you are is what you have admired or loved in others.

That said, we tend to fall in love with people who look like our parents, because our parents tend to be some of our favorite people, and as such, the people we fall in love with share similarities with our parents and family – even though they’re not related.

If you adopt a child, the chances that you will develop a bond with them, if you ask me, are about as high as them being your own biological child. Some of them will hate their parents, just like some biological children do – I promise. (That I promise, lol.)

That’s what I figure, anyway.
