So the other day I found myself thinking about the miracle of primal instincts. From birds flying south, animals big and small hibernating/hiding food, basically how all creatures deep down KNOW what needs to be done in certain circumstances to survive. It's truely amazing. Eventually I found myself asking, how? I then realised instincts are the greatest supporting fact of reincarnation. How do we know deep down what to do and when to do it? Because we've been there and done it all before. Perhaps once upon a time instincts weren't really there, but over time as beings kepts dieing and coming back in another form to experience from that perspective, some basic knowledge of their past lives stay imbeded deep within their consciousness, which give us all instincts and that feeling of de ja vu. Just something i've been thinking about lately, hopefully some blades find it somewhat interesting or have some more to add.
Instincts are encoded into DNA. Animals know what to do, when to do, and how to do it because it's been passed into their genetic code for millions of years. As environments change animals either adapt or don't. The one's that do, change their tactics for survival, and pass on those genes. Instincts change, and so on. It's how I view it.
yea, its not really amazing if you see it like this... all the birds that didnt fly south froze to death...
