The Theme = Rewriting biography

Not sure if this comes across as clearly as it seems to be inside my head.

I'm using the phrase 'DNA' to refer to the 'recorded experience' that we pass on from generation to generation.

• We live our lives according to our DNA (= what we are born with) plus what we experience and how we interpret and take onboard those experiences, (= re-write our DNA).
• We pass on our learning DNA to our children and grandchildren, family and neighbours; and to our students (those of us who are teachers). Often this transfer is done through words; but mainly it is done through our behaviour and responses to challenging situations.
• There is an opportunity in our interactions, to interrupt and accellerate the usually slow generation-by-generation development, by consciously passing on favourable DNA-influencing thoughts, behaviours, values, beliefs etc
• That's why we write down our history (learning from mistakes and experience). That's why we write down 'how to' manual (wholesome cooking, house repairs, healthy living etc). That's why we write self-help books. That's why we write inspiring (and scary) stories.
• That's why I'm writing this book. To offer a framework for dialogues at pivotal moments in a person's life so that they are at choice; and their choice is healthy for the individual and the community in which they live.
