Priests, ministers, and preachers attempting to convince parishioners that greed for material wealth is sinful often remind them, "You can't take it with you when you die." While this is true for the goods we accumulate during a lifetime, it is not true about what we do to our body, how much we learn, what skills we refine, how we treat others, and the talents we develop.
Empirical research suggests that what the individual accomplishes in terms of self-development and learning becomes the legacy his or her soul genome transmits to the next generation in the process of reproduction. Physical wounds, propensities for physical or psychological traits, level of mental development, emotional patterns, styles of interacting with others, and the foci of creative energies seem to be part of the psychoplasm (an information-rich, energetic field) that enfolds and animates the physical genomic material that shapes the new being.
The cases described on this website and in the book
The Soul Genome: Science and Reincarnation provide persuasive examples of this phenomenon, which cannot be more plausibly explained than by the reincarnation hypothesis. A
Mensa perspective places the experiment in the context of emerging research findings in physics, biology, neuroscience, and evolutionary studies.
