I’m in the process of getting back my DNA information. I swabbed my brother as he’s the only one in our family who has both patrilineal and matrilineal coding in his genes. As it turns out on my father’s side (I knew was Ashkenazi Jewish, his father came from Lithuania) but I’m still not sure about his mother who was also Jewish, but her family had been in the states much longer. Ironically I belong to the R1A1 haplotype on that side of the family which is also the same line Hitler thought was the “master race.” R1A1 also turns out to be the haplotype for the group of people who settled for awhile in India (arians) and then went up north and became known as the Vikings.
When I first went to look at the results of the haplotype it talked of this descent, having come through India and then going far north. I thought this was in reference to my mother’s side, but then when I went back to find that information it was replaced with information about being Ashkanazi-Levite. I wondered if someone in the lab had a small fit after realizing that I might be sensitive to the whole Arian thing being an Ashkanzi Jew. But anyway I thought this was very odd. So it would seem there is some strange similarity perhaps even shared ancestory between those who became the Arians/Vikings and the Levites who settled in Eastern Europe although for some reason I have seen no information linking the two which leads me to believe either there is fear about linking both due to the Holocaust or I’m completely making wild leaps of association which is possible since I’m still figuring out how haplogtypes work and what they mean.
Not only is this whole thing historically ironic, but personally so as I am a believer in Jung’s idea of ancestrial memory. I’ve had dreams (which I knew where not my past lives) of being questioned by the Nazi’s and taken by them. Also I’ve had so many dreams about India (although I’m sure this is also due to many past lives there) ever since early childhood throughout today.
Another weird thing is my father on his death bed claimed to have a conversation with Moses. Ironically the Levites are a direct link to Moses. He would be my super great uncle basically.
I personally think memory is stored not just in the mind but in the DNA which is how certain traits get passed down like musical ability, etc. And why certain strange mutations suddenly occur. We not only have to deal with our own personal karma, and trajectory, but it seems that the family of origin’s trajectory and karma is sealed inside our DNA, the ramifications of this are like waves in our subconscious.
Best wishes to all and many blessings,

Hi Denise! Wow that is sooo exciting. I always wanted to do the same DNA testing. I saw this story about a year ago about a black singer and a white middle aged guy who found out they were related through DNA. It was truly touching and very interesting to say the least. I actually really believe that we do carry memories of our relatives in our cells. As a teenager i read a near death experience book that talked about this too. Sooooo interesting.
very interesting info on your dna – for those of us interested in reserching our dna, how do you go about it? What service would you recommend? Do you need swabs of your parents as well?
