Epigenetics Discussion

[Crystallized Mushroom]

I'd like to know more about the effects with Satanism and Epigenetics and how behavior in general will change your Epigenetics.

I heard from Pythia in one of her topics that beliefs effect genes through epigenetics what would happen if your an Atheist or muslim or Hindu for example or a Neopagan or a christian what would the epigenetic effects be?

is Metagenics related to epigenetics?

What’s most affected by the genes is any belief or mindset that alters mood, the way stress is handled, how you view life, optimism versus pessimism, victim mentalities, suppression or expression of certain emotions, or how a person expresses it. Similar to that of astrology but genetics are like the scientific version of astrology. Every thought and behavior is affected by the genes. It runs very deep. There wouldn’t be a specific set of genes for each religion. It’s very psychosomatic. In studying genetics to find a specific religion there would be too many factors affecting a set of genes or a gene to determine the religion of a person. But it’s probable that a person would be able to make a very educated guess on whether or not a person is from an Abrahamic background or eastern background based on dna.

Alrighty so I hope y'all are ready for some science. Epiginetics is the methelation and acetylation of genes within the genome. It takes a long time for these genes to be "turned on and off" but if you follow any steady lifestyle for 5+ years your genes will adapt to it. When we spiritually advance we get physically healthier, part of that is just making better decisions for our overall health, maybe excercizing, yoga, eating healthier etc. All these over time will be reflected in your genome. As to the extent to which meditation applies to epiginetics well this can be debated heavily. Scientists find that humans have somewhere around 90% "throwaway" DNA, or DNA that isn't used. How much oft hat has been lost due to spiritual degredation and not using the powers of our souls is up to contestation. If you never eat vegetables the genes used to help you process them will be turned off, similarly so if you never use your spiritual abilities those genes will to be shut off, over time that'll change and until we run a genome scan on someone whose completed the magnum opus we won't know. On to the changing of DNA to make it immortal. One the reasons we die and that our cells aren't immortal is due to the fact that humans don't have infinite telomeres. They exist on the ends of strands of DNA and when cells go through the duplication process, we lose telomeres, when you run completely out, your cell can't reproduce and it truly reaches the end of it's life. through spiritual means or possibly through turning that gene that we haven't found on that can create more telomeres, it is possible you can to some extent live forever. Of course biology is just a fraction of what makes you human per se, so simply having infinite telomeres won't get the job done, spiritual advancement and perfection is what will holistically keep you alive forever.

wow that really interesting also i didn't know if you stop eating vegetables that eventually you won't be able to process them so can epigenetics effect an entire Race and make them act a certain way?

I'm starting researching Epigentetics myself and found this fascinating experiment/ research study:

https://www.cnrs.fr/en/we-are-more-our-dna-discovering-new-mechanism-epigenetic-inheritance

Basically, fruit flies with different eye colors have the exact same DNA. One way to change the eye color is via exposing the eggs to different temperatures. Even more fascinating is that those flies then pass the eye color on to their offspring for generations and those flies have the same DNA as other flies without that eye color also.

I have yet to find any research on us being able to change stuff like our eye color at will.


As to anti-aging stuff and telomeres, there has been a WHOLE host of research done on that. Pretty much everything I've seen is basically; stress is bad, stress ages you. Stress shortens the length of your telomeres REALLY fast and starts making your cells have replication errors because the DNA starts to unravel. That can cause a huge host of issues in the body.

Research has shown that meditation 100% helps slow down telomere degradation. Whats not know is just how much and how long of a life it can give you. However, if we look to eastern cultures where mediation is more of a thing, and at monks, yogis as well as aboriginal people's that frequently are very healthy into their 80's or so and then suddenly die. (And in a lot of those cultures they claim that they wiling leave their bodies at that point because it's just not worth it to them to maintain the body anymore.)

I feel like there is possibly the potential to live much much longer. The catch is, you have to be willing to do maintenance to maintain your body. This means physical exercise and yes, a lot of meditation, probably a lot specifically focused on anti-aging stuff.
