John Lamb Lash has a compelling answer to that question in a concept he describes as Genomic Inheritance.

He points out that only 5 percent of our DNA is used for chromosome activity and speculates that the other 95 percent can be tuned to some sort of universal field where ideas, information and talents can be accessed.

Mr Lash is a fascinating guy and my favorite kind of scholar...the non-academic, self taught variety. His perspective of ancient Gnostic teachings has really captured my attention lately and feels refreshingly authentic.

FuturePrimitive.org is a sister site where you can find a very informative and intimate interview with John Lash on this subject of Genomic Inheritance conducted by his friend Joanna Harcourt-Smith.
