SphinxAnon, you bring up a fascinating topic!
>What if not our ancestry but maybe all our previously incarnation are encrypted in the DNA?
Some toy thoughts:
-
We are in a simulation, a computational universe. Code is copied again and again, and it loses resolution as we move away from the "authentic original". Alvin Lucier illustrates this concept back in 1969 by recording his voice on tape, then playing back the tape and recording it again. The full recording of Lucier's results are here: https://hooktube.com/fAxHlLK3Oyk
>Think resonance
The heavy distortions towards the end is beautiful - and yet still has some features of the original recording. Perhaps we are in the same lot with our Creator? Are there Fourier transforms we can do to calculate the original vibrations?
-
Perhaps in an infinite universe with infinite lifetimes, we hit on lifetimes frequently where everything is exactly the same as another iteration. (Note I am careful not to use the word "past". I'll save Time for another post, thought #3 touches on it…) This time around you wear a different pair of socks on Friday.
>Think intuition
>Think deja vu
The Matrix illustrates this point with the cat and the same cat in the stairwell. Later it is revealed they turn out to be viewing the Matrix several layers up. Both those in the Matrix and the Operators on the ship are able to detect the anomaly. The Architect would be able to see this too. eXistenZ movie goes into this theme as well. Better yet, read Jean Baudrillard's Simulacra and Simulation (also referenced in The Matrix in Neo's apartment at the beginning of the movie).

Overlaid dimensionality?
>Think dreams
>Think visions
Some of the esoteria I read talks about 12 dimensions and densities. Only when we elevate ourselves to the "Architect" level can we see the bigger picture, all the possibilities. A higher Consciousness. "Choice" as it is in the movie, but stated as Free Will in religious/philosophy texts. If there is any truth to the first two items, maybe dreams and visions are feedback loops to our origins. We arrive at choices on how to proceed to reduce the distortions and get a clearer signal to the Source.
I don't feel Simulism is that important a concept to nail down. In other words, don't get mired into whether it is a provable theory or not. That's why I refer to it as a toy thought. The grander important concept is that there is Virtuality to our existence, reality copies itself as it flows. Many analogues can be drawn from computers to our experience, even to spirituality being a computable thing. Hidden layers of neural networks for example. Understanding whether the neural network layer flips the bit is irrelevant, because it really depends on the resolution in which you are perceiving the system…
