The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

everyonce in a while, I'll ask myself a question about something and the answer will pop up in my head, without knowing how i know it. I don't mean things like "What is he capital of Egypt?" or "Solve the equation of.....?", but things like knowing where a certain item that i have no conection to, matching a person's name to their face without knowing them, talking about things as if i experienced them although it was before my time, you know, things like that. I've taken tests online and looked up different psychic abilities, and some of them fit, but not completely. Is this a sign of of ability that i can develop, past-lives recollection, or would it fit the term of being "born knowing"?

I did a thread last year (eeek it was a year ago) that referred to this idea. Although it explored more the idea that there is knowledge that is passed down through our bloodlines.

I know that some Nordic faiths hold that our genetic code (if you would) actually helps us pass down more than just our physical being but our knowing things that our ancestors did.

To me this expands on the idea of vampirism because then when someone part takes of your blood they not only are taking something physical, but they are in fact taking some of your knowledge and being as well.

I hope that this creates more discussions about this topic as I find it most interesting.

I think the fact that you made this thread, today I am guess, causes me to agree with and question the same things you do. :)

There are things we are born knowing that come from our ancestors. Things about the "fight or flight". There are also studies on the "collective unconsious". Makes things a bit more interesting, huh?

Knowledge through the blood...that in an interesting concept that i had not really though of. I have tasted the blood of two other people that i can remember, both who were witches/vampire/both and very knowledgeable. But before that i would have insights of knowledge that i didn't know i possesed until that moment. I could tell someone about something that i didn't even know about till they asked me....

I dont know to much on the subject, but has anyone considered past lives, they may comtribute to this as well. Has anyone had any experiences that pertain to the subject??

i dunno about past lifes, but i totally believe that sometimes we are just born knowing things. prime example in the 4th grade we started on the 50 states. i knew them all and their capitols before i was even asked. i still cant explain it.

another possibility is that maybe in cases like this a photographic memory is responsible. i mean we see things all the time, we may not realize that we saw it but our subconcious mind knows that we saw it, fully comprehends whatever it was. maybe when we know things before hand we have actually seen it before but just dont remember.

Artemisia this what interests me, is this knowledge something that is passed down prenatal, or something that is in fact part of us? Are we able to train it as you asked before if it is something everyone has, or how do we find out if we can do this if we don’t already?

There are some thoughts that DNA acts in many more ways than just as genetic markers, that within the code we have, there is all kinds of potentials of what we as people can or have evolved from- that we still are learning about. One big example of this is the project to map human DNA completely. The hope is by doing this that we have more links to illness, both physical and mental, as well as to give us ideas of why we evolve the way that we do. Some researchers are even looking into the ideas that psychic abilities are really just people that use different areas of the brain- will their DNA in the future show that this will occur or is it something else that triggers it?

The thought that part of our DNA will account for our spirit and psychic abilities fascinates me. But then on the flip side, what if it doesn't answer it? How then do we explain the occurrence you speak of, just knowing? Is there something more than what science right now is able to explain or are we looking at the issues with false pretences?

im a believer of reincarnation so maybe you had this ability in your past life

I believe we are born with "ancestral knowledge", like a foreknowledge of things that are dangerous based on the experiences of ancestors that sometimes appears in infants that have no other experience to base their fears on. It may be from a past life or a paranormal sense but I think it is genetic.

Well it could be a little bit of everything. It could be past life memories or a psychic thing. I know I have had times when that has happened to me and I just beleive its a gift or a sixth sesne thing.

I agree with Butterfly. Perhaps it's a mix of a psychic ability, past lives, and "just knowing." When you really think about it, can't all three of those be interconnected in some way?

I must say that, i dont feel that ability, but sometimes, i dream of things that i can actualy relate to future events.Like i have a dream of someone who i dont see for a wile and the next day someone tells me that person asked for me or comes to me, this is just an example.Lately, awake, i think of things that happen minutes later, sometimes i ask myself if i have the ability to see ahead or just to make thing happen the way i want them to?

I think there could be something in genetic coding that accounts for different gifts and such. It is just my opinion.

I believe we are born with knowlegde in the mind that we have to awaken when it awakes i believe that where thoughs answers come from

I think this falls under what I concider "natural talents.' I do not believe that anything has ever come natural... I believe that you learned it in a past life, and you know how to do it because of your past life... I think that knowing someone falls under the same category

Could a person be born knowing, then, as a child, have that knowlege blocked in some fashion?

Sort of never coming in to the realisation after puberty, missing the path, as it were?

Stabb that is an excellent question. I think it could happen if there was something major that caused it.

Actually it reminds me of some cases I have seen of people with head traumas and the total change of being that occurs when that happens. Some of them actually still FEEL the same, but the presentation of it is so altered no one else can recognize it.

So then the question is if we are born knowing how much of our spirit is imprinted to our physical being so that physical injury then impairs our knowledge? Or would you argue that we are nothing more than the physical with imprints?

There is alot of DNA mentiond on this thread and YES memory can and is passed down through genetics, science has fianlly come to realize that.
You have 2 possibilities and I would say that both are being used
1) Genetic memory/pastlife if you will
2) The gift of Knowledge/psy/ foresight what have you.

I believe that it is very genetic. That the coding is the same through each life. There is a genetic imprint from each of those lives.

This is what I hold to be true, anyone can believe it or not as they wish, but I beleive that we are born knowing, and that as time passes and we begin to grow into who we are meant to be come that the walls that we subconously put up fall down slowly so that we can understand what is behind the ones that come after,and understand what we've just unlocked in our minds....but like I said this is just what I believe, and hold true for my self.

This happens to me a lot and I believe its from past life recollections

Touching on what MaDDnes (sorry if i spelled it wrong) had to say, maybe we are just born with some things in our brains. I had a thing for spanish when i was a kid, having never taken a class until high school where it was really easy.

Another thing, I'm sure this happens to everyone...having dreams of things that happened decades ago. I know it sounds lame, but i believe it was an actual event.

Even if we don't know something already, why are people drawn to certain things without being exposed to them? Why are people who are not Egyptian and live elsewhere so drawn to Egyptology?

I feel myself drawn to different historical times/places/people whom I have no familial connection with.
In way,. I view them pretty similar topics.

There are many theories to this matter, like the mentioned -Information passed through the blood. The human genome was completely mapped in 2004, but what all the components trigger individually or combinated is still a mystery. That what we experience, do, eat and so forth changes our current or passed down genetic makeup is a real possibility; not sure it would be anything about putting faces to names though. Something like that could be placed under the Collective Conciousness theory; that what the individual knows is to some degree shared by the whole of mankind. Something like this could be attributed to leaps in science that occured on seperate locations of the world around the same time, without any real contact between them. This all drifts into ESP a bit, and something like this would be a hassle to prove. Proving the existence about theoretical properties using theoretical means, all gets very vague and unscientific.

as for me no,but that would be cool

well in the vampires of movies, Dracula, IWTV, John Carpenters Vampires, Vampires are all connected and know what others know in there line.

I think you may have a psychic ability and I very much think it is something you can work with and develope if you have the right training or help from the right person.

I definitely 110% agree, yes, yup, uh huh .... I 'know' things all the time, I shouldn't but I just do ... freaks people out when I let on something, so I just keep my mouth shut.

I can also just know what is going to wrong with something - I don't mean like what goes wrong with like a car, but goes wrong with something that has been planned

I have premonitions, have I always, i don't know. I am still trying to figure if I have had a past life.

I also agree that it is possible to be born with knowledge that you shouldn't have, yet do anyways... Perhaps, as many have said, it's inherited. Maybe with people like us (for I have had the same experiences), it's Darwin's "Survival of the Fittest" in action... We retain the knowledge because it was helpful to past generations and allowed them to continue, so it was passed to us for the same reason. Though, sometimes some of the knowledge seems trivial, it may have been important to our ancestors or in past lives.

I believe that our species, the human race, is still evolving. I actually think abilities described as supernatural are evidence of the next stage of our evolution. Someday I believe our species will evolve in to a psychic one... and experiences such as these are evidence of that fact.

I don't think everyone's born knowing some peole say that they know the true Vampire launge (spelt that wrong sorry) but how do we know I think that the knowlege that we grain is stored in are brain untill we nedd it and when we don't use it for awhile it gets put away for safe keeping kinda like a volt that needs a combonation then when we get the combo we know more then what we did.

There are somethings that I remember that I shouldn't like my grandfather's war buddies that died in WWII, the cafe my mom worked at after high school but was torn down 15 years before I was born and the Great Depression. I think they were things genetically passed to me through my family because I'd never know some of the things I do otherwise.

First thing that comes to mind when reading this thread is that we are all born to know. Knowlegde is past down through the ages in the energy of the universe. We all have the knowledge its learning to tap into it. We are all connected by the same energy and what makes us different is how we choose to use this energy. Being psychic isnt a great power given to a few chosen persons by a god, but rather just choosing to believe in ourselves and our instincts as they will never stear us wrong. When u know something, some people will say its ur guide that is telling u, others will say that u tapped into a past life experience, however all of this knowledge is there if u learn to listen and trust in yourself.

i have that with each time i have reached the age of puberty,things have come back to me,this is my 14th remembered lifetime,wheither or not any believe this ,matters not,yet as i get older i remember more until i can remember it all,so yes,things can be passed down

I do have dreams from time to time, which come true. I could never explain it. Its cool to hear everyones ideas of what it can be.

I believe in past lives. I also believe that somewhere in our minds and in our spirits we retain everything that has happened in our past lives and we live with knowledge from then and we live our lives now based on what happend to us then.

i too go through this. its just a gift that your born with. i dont know where it could of come from. understanding and knowing are different. and i know what your going through. its just a gift of the sub-conscience mind working in ways we dont understand ourselves.

I have had many of these occurences and sometimes I dont even notice it untill later...

I'm a realist...I believe that we are sponges in our early childhood and absorb the world around us before we've begun to even understand what 'learning' is. This allows us to have 'connections' with places or people or knowledge that may lie dormant until something sparks the fire and bring to the fore these so called epiphanies.

I also believe that some knowledge is simply based on subconcious creative thinking. Discoveries in science are often the combination of what we've learned and the ability to thing abstractly and creatively. In this way, we can often be surprised by how unexpected answers can simply 'pop' into our heads without seeming to have known them before.

True...and I'm not saying that it's impossible but if everything attributed to psychic power and spiritism were true, I wouldn't be able to find my car through all the ghosts and demons and angels in my way.

I don't have a firm grasp of the supernatural or metaphysical. I understand the principles behind it and even accept the possibility of it but my experience after decades of searching both around me and within me, is that faith in the unknown is easy to lose and harder to find.

It is a big possibility that we are born knowing something. This comes from the fact that everything we see and hear and stored inside us (molecular brain). Everyone knows that DNA is passed from parents to children, and DNA molecules are passed down through the generations of a family. DNA occurs in all the cells of our body, it is our blueprint!

So I guess that this explains why we are born knowing things that we do not actually have an idea about :)

The same thing happens to me every now and then. It might be clairvoyance, but I'm not sure.

Lady Raisha - can you elaborate on how our memories get encoded in DNA? I've never heard of this. If it were the case, wouldn't your DNA be consantly changing as you learn and experience more?...but our DNA can be mapped and effectively act as a modern and more reliable "finger print" since it doesn't show any change from birth to death.

a recent hubbub in the scientific community may be able to spread a little bit of insight.


There are fields ( field of gravity, magnetic field etc) well one recently under observation ( because they can't quite prove it yet but can see it's effects) is called the morphogenic field.

what it basically entails is that the experience of a race in a specific area is ..'submitted' to a collective unconcious and encoded into DNA if it should benefit the species. Such as a spider's web , a spider's web essentially was knowledge that became instinct. animals learn to fear humans and settlments even if they have never seen them before.

Our race should be so lucky to be different? Think even down to personality traits, notice how sometimes they tend to be very similar in a particular area and one can feel an outsider moving to a different spot, but assimilates in over time.

Things I never learned pop into my head and conversation all the time, I sometimes get memories that aren't mine ( but that is another story) It's like I was there feeling, it is not completely unthinkable that a universal unconciousness does not exist.

My understanding is that it's not creating a hub bub in the scientific field because it's simply not accepted in the scientific field.

Ooooo I love this.. It hits my belief right on the spot.. I belive right now we know everything.. There is nothing we don't know.. We just have to remember it.We are born many times over but only three times.. Once whne you see a truth.. twice when you seek it and thrice when you become it.In many lives you learned many things and those things help you in the next.Lets just say we are all gods.. (Even though it says we are in every holy book...)We are created in a gods image only useing a certain percentage of our minds.. slowly over time we forgot these things from the slow usage of them.. (fairies for example and elves,ect.. we forgot them they leave from sight..)There are many amazing things that can be done by our kind.other people can't.. cause they don't remember..
ooh i wished i could go on cause i hav ben started but i don't wanna take all the forum space..

I agree with the hold DNA thing..but I have it to and there have been how sould I say this.....people to know that thing's are going to happen befor they do or in your and in many case just knowing thing's.....take this gift and run with it......
...In the darkness I play....and there I will stay..

This is a really interesting thread. I'm sorry to say that i have nothing useful to add. I don't think I have any knowledge that i've had since birth, at least not that I'm aware of. But, again, great thread. I love the ones that get me thinking.

what if we are dead now and this is our life flashing before our eyes.. thats why it seems so famailiar.. nothing we do means shit.. there is no destiny.. because the game has already been played...hmmm.."scratches head"

isn't that called ESP? i mean i think i should call this person and before i get a chance to do just that they call me.

I have some of the same abilities, most of the time i have no idea where my knowledge comes from, but I did a little reaserch as well, and found out that most of the things I know... happened over 50000 yrs ago... tell me that aint crazy... but other things i know, I can predict future events, minor and major, as well as have 3hr long discussions with 60 yr old guys over news and politics when I don't even turn on the news or read newspapers... If you can speak on events from the past then it is more than likely that your soul has been recycled more than enough times to gain such vast knowledge...

i have to say that i think it is possible that it was passed down in the blood. anything is possible

I for one belive in past lives.

I too have been "born knowing" as you said to a small degree. I have found that I'm able to do this in certain aspects of life, but not all of the time. I think that the past life idea is totally possible, but not sure of the probability of the matter.

I don't think I was born knowing, however, I have the same things happening to me. There was one time I told my mom her brother was goign to call in 5 minutes and in almost exactly 5 minutes he called. It was weird and she kind of looked at me funny and thought he was maybe just calling back, but when she talked to him she found out he hadn't called at all until just then.

In regards to a genetic or cellular memory is concerned,years ago,a group of scientists did an experiment where they had mice,which they taught how to get through a mase.
They bred they mice & put the offspring in the maze & the "new" mice knew the way through.
Imagine,if you will,having all of the memory (& knowledge) of every ancestor that you ever had going back to your first ancestor.
The things that you can remember,the knowledge that you'd have & the abilities (physical,mental,spiritual,etc.) that you could develope.
There are theories concerning "genetic memory" & "cellular memory".
These same scientists taught the mice a maze & removed the part of the brain that we've held that memories are stored,
the mice still knew rgeir way through the maze.
Genetic memory would,of course,become cellular memory,because we possess the cells of our ancestors,at least in part.
So,who knows?

i believe it is past lives and i know what you mean. everyone has lived during different time periods. so there is a possibility that everyone you know and yourself have already meet before in a past life.

born knowing is not unheard of but very rare and very unlikely the majority o fpeople who claim or think they were born knowing are just recalling events of a past life of which they cannot completely remember, have you ever had the feeling of dajavo (SP?) with absolutley no reason for that felling with no recollection of why, a past life is usually the reason for this there are many other symtoms that i know of for it if you want to know you'll have to message me so i know i'm not just talking to know one and when i get the chance i'll answer you back

To me ESP,past lives,DNA transfer is all possible.There are also spirit guides ,(demons,animal,etc.)that may also help with "knowing".

i agree with DeathKnightShimitar, maybe it's a thing that you lived in your passed life and than it comes back to you

No one will ever know just how deep the human subconscious really is. The answers to most things like that already exist in your mind, the trick is how to find them more easily. And that is something we wernt made to do.

at times in feeding you might get a glimps of someones thoughts, or if one leaves a strong enuff presacne you might pick up on them thats way...

past lives, intuition, and ancestral knowledge...it all plays into it. everyone has the ability, you just need to tap into it.

Strigoi - that experiment (of generations of mice learning a maze through cellular memory) was also discounted by modern scientists since the more likely reason was that the previous generations could follow traces from the more experienced mice and choose the winning path. The same maze was used. If the next generation of mice were put in a completely new but duplicate maze and still new the correct path, we might have something...but that's yet to be tried.

In order for their to be a 'scientific' explanation (ie something that moves beyond faith for it's reasoning), there has to be a way to measure it and show that something is exercising influence from generation to generation. If you talk about energies or psychic memories or past lives, then you're dealing with faith. There's interesting theories there but they can't really be debated since faith is very much a personal thing.

could be memories of a past life or a connection do to the vamp connection or a type of foresight or just a strange happening

it could technically be any of those

Of course,if we enter the issue of faith into this,we could debate it forever. LOL
Wiser folks than us have speculated about that.
But,"faith is evidence of things unseen". Right?

This is a great forum. Something to be said here between psychology, sociology, theology, and individual paradigm. Personally, they are all true and they all crossover into each others realm. The fun part is finding out just how one fits into the manipulation of all and then, if keen enough, how to manipulate them all back to ignite a beginning of a very long and intricate relationship. Hope i'm not too off here but knowing and knowing can mean different things. We could take an entire forum to talk just about one knowing, let alone the other knowing or comparative analysis...

slave deviln

This is an excellent topic for discussion. Although I do not believe it is something to do with 'genetics' or 'past lives', I do have my suspicions.

I believe some time ago there was a thread on "Indigo Children" and "Indigoes" themselves. This may have something to do with what some would consider an experience of "knowing" and could possibly offer a few explanations.

Just to make sure that everyone is on the same page, indigoes are supposed to be an evolutionary pinnacle, or currently evolving state reach a peak, where those who fall into the category could be seen as having extra sensory perception(ESP), psi-abilities such as pyrokenesis and telepathy, and even watered-down versions of the abilities and mutations dealing with the X-men.

It is almost irratably preposterous that everyone seems to keep bringing them up when talking about this subject.

Anyways, about the idea of being "born knowing", I believe that there is a possibility that it could be plausible, but I am not ready to actually make a full-blown commitment and make a dedicated choice.

For now, I will continue to research the topic, and hopefully will be satisfied by my findings.

there are times when i will see a drive by a place i have been and know that one day i will go there; or i some one will ask me a question about a subject i have no clue about and know the answer.

Any of those questions would suffice as an answer. You could be having flashbacks to your life before the one you live now. Don't take the word on the quizzes. They can be wrong.

yea its happened to me.
maybe i wonder if its from past lives

I have dreams from time to time and them one day I'll have total dayshavow(spelt that wrong oh well) It's kind of scarry in a kool way

could be details from past lives, or u could be channeling energy from that person. both would explain the happenings.
dont go by the quizzes, they are generally made up by bored people trying to spice up their boring lives and are in no way accurate.

I have experienced similar things, but it's also a possibility that some obscure facts are just things you learned previously and they were filed away in your mind, and came to you when you thought about it.

There are cases in which people have knowledge of past life occurances. I don't know where I heard the following story, or if it's true or an urban legend, but here goes- A young boy has a father that works with aircrafts. He goes to see his father at work one day climbs into a jet, and is told his father about how to fly them and started it right up with ease. He was believed to be a reincarnation of a WWI or II fighter pilot.

we as human beings only use 10% of our brains. the sub-concious is a very powerful tool that works in wonderus and mysterious ways. i agree with the knowledge being passed down through blood and past lives, but i also believe that a part of it comes from the other 90% of our brains.

your soul probably already had a connection with all those things in past lives of yours

I think to some extent we are born knowing. Not to compare the human being to an animal- well okay I am comparing the two. Elephants go to certain places to die- it's the only reason they go there. They just know what to do and where to go. If animals have this instinct- why can't we?

Sometimes information is passed through generations or close connections. Like if you have a sibling or family member that you are really close to and they know someone you are able to occasionally know the person and their name as well. Such connections are deeper than general psyche and the mental abilities between normal people. However rare the occasion of cross knowlage is, there is still a connection

I think we are born knowing. Sometimes we are unaware of why we make the connections we do. Some of this I think can be developed, but other "gifts" are just too mysterious.

I think some types of knowledge we've inherited at young ages and do not remember. I've had the same experiences.

My opinion on this topic tends to lean toward the statements that FelixFelix and IndigoBizarre made about being a realist. We, as human beings, have to keep in mind that not all knowledge is attained through conscious acts, i.e. studying, etc. There is a vast amount of passive receipt of information through the senses, social interactions, etc. All information that any individual possesses does not emanate from a singular source. So, whereas some knowledge may be passed down genetically (why wouldn't it be possible in order to propagate the stronger of the species?), we also have to keep in mind that there are innumerable other sources of information, and no human is likely to remember where they attained every bit of information "stored" and exactly where it is filed at the time, so to speak.

Sometimes i get this horrible feeling deep in my gut, and I know something bad is gonna happen, or I see little things in dreams, a vase or shape, and then those items are somehow related to the thing thats going to happen.....i guess thats another kind of "knowing"

I believe it is memories from your past lives here is something you should try

light a white candle out of the reflection of a mirror then stare yourself in the eyes int he light of the candle and without moving anything but your mouth or blinking say "oracle of lunar light send to me the second sight"

feel free to message me for further spells

i feel that some times we just no things because for some reasion we need to no it

I think it is from our past live and how much we experience in everday life..

I tend to dream what I need to know or what lesson I need to learn. At times I get a horrible fealing in my gut when something bad is going to happen. I hate that feeling.

well, maybe you have some pass knowlegde of other life, how can you know this, not with a test, you must go with someone who have the knowlegde in this subject, much of the internet quizt or test don't always give you the answer that your are wainting, if you want to know about your pass lifes, maybe you should visit a Shaman...
Greetings

When I was four years old I would have vivid dreams about WWII.I would drawl detailded pictures of German tanks and could tell you how much the weighed,what armaments they had.I could tell you what different metals were awarded for.Freaked my parents out so bad they took me to the doctors.I have never felt comfortable in this time, it's hard to explain,but I blieve in haveing past lives

I experience the same thing sometimes. I think it's the way for our greater power to let us know that our psychic awareness is becoming intuned with our current life. We are all, and will always be, psychic. It's just a question if we embrace it or not.~CapriAl

I think we all experience this, to an extent, whether we realize it or not. It could be a combination of many things, as said by everyone before me here. Reincarnation, blood lines, forgotten memories... Maybe you have a sensitivity to others & their thoughts/feelings...

I am totally a believer in reincarnation.... So who knows you might have had this abilty in a past life ....I have had it happen to me many of times know where your comming from on subject...

you have a connection with th great mother so yes u will know things and be connected to things without even knowing them it is the sae with me only i was born into magick and and was born with the ability of empathy and i can read tarot cards very well
