This is exactly how our scientists carry out genetic > research in our laboratories, so this approach is not surprising. I suspect both Jacob and I Hopkins would concur with this hypothesis. It's a plausible explanation within the context of our current scientific paradigms. Playing the devil's advocate, the fact that there does seem to be an obvious cross-generation genetic component suggests the possibility that the genes themselves are primarily responsible for allowing such experiences to manifest within certain individuals. IMO, such a hypothesis is just as reasonable an explanation as compared to conjecturing that the experiences are generated by encounters with extraterrestrial aliens whom it is alleged are interested in particular DNA lineages. I'll say it once again for the record, my conjecture does not mean that such experiences should be considered any less valid, certainly not to the experiencer. I suspect our current understanding of what is considered valid reality is likely to undergo radical changes within the next century or two.
