  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Anyway, Freud says that the rememberances of parents are transferred to their children. Which is why children sometimes find themselves in situations by which they act like their parents. Sometimes committing the same errors, in the similar situations, as they have, though, in a technicality they are completely different people.

Also goes the same vice and versa, that they do the very same beneficial activites as their parents would have. His research showed that it even comes about without a parents influence.
He also showed how a person can recall memories that he himself never experienced but that somehow were transferred to that individual- maybe an inheritance of "family tree".
It may not sound like a normal thing. But I think it is something very worthful.

Genetic memory? Sorry if I've read it wrong, but is that the gist of it? I've heard about it before (but not of the Freud connection). I think it's a fascinating idea, and a definite possibility, because there is so much about the brain and memory that we don't understand.

So did Freud only consider memory being passed from parent to child, or did he explore the possibility that it could be passed down from grandparents, and great-grandparents, etc.?
