DNA has generally been thought to express the biologic architecture of the organism, in much the same way, that a set of architectural drawings are the blueprint for a new building. It has been previously thought that this genetic code has been specific in providing the information unique to a particular piece of the architecture. The human genome project has provided a significantly smaller number of genes and gene loci, which are at least an order of magnitude less than the numbers that were thought necessary to code for the astonishingly larger number of proteins that exist in the human organism.

This led to the appreciation of the placement of chemical groups, peripheral to the base pairs that provide the backbone for the DNA. This occurred in a way that affected and determined the way in which a particular gene could be expressed. This, in fact allowed a single portion of DNA to be interpreted in multiple ways giving rise to the possibility of coding for hundreds, even thousands of different proteins by the same portion of DNA. This was termed epigenetic expression of DNA.

In terms of our model of consciousness determining the experience of the organism, this provides a way for consciousness to determine how the DNA is to be read. This is the equivalent of being able to change the software on the fly and change the output of the computer as you go along. This is incredibly flexible.

Our previous discussions have mentioned how experiments have revealed that conscious meditation with the appropriate emotional heart placed focus has been noted to cause the DNA to literally open up.

This opens up the possibility that consciousness, not only maintains form for all expression in physicality, but also controls the particular epigenetic expression of DNA. This makes it possible for the possibility of consciousness not only to manage the DNA expression, but potentially the ability to change it and modify what is passed on from one generation to the next.

This definitely creates the possibility for an evolutionary enfoldment of consciousness as theorized by Fritz-Albert Popp. http://www.lifescientists.de/publication/pub2003-04-11.htm
