Interlude VI - Inherited Shadows: Memory, Time, and Biology

The Observable Unknown - A podcast by Dr. Juan Carlos Rey

Can memory be inherited? Can trauma echo across generations? And do our most private choices carry the weight of ancestral shadows? In this interlude, Dr. Juan Carlos Rey explores the mysteries of phylogenetic inertia, epigenetic conditioning, and genetic memory - tracing how our biology remembers more than we realize. From Darwin to Jung, Holocaust studies to modern neuroscience, we uncover how memory may stretch not only backward into the lives of our ancestors, but forward into precognition and the sense of future time. What begins in science moves into philosophy, psychology, and the paranormal: retrocognition, metacognition, and precognition. Together, these open a startling possibility - that the mind itself is an heirloom, shaped by unseen inheritances and predictive forces. The Observable Unknown is where knowledge and wonder meet. Step into this space… and consider what within you is truly your own.
