A pure DNA‑Self schema is the adaptive, genetically specified core that would have become the dominant self‑concept in a safe, validating environment. Unlike Early Maladaptive Schemas (EMS), which are maps of environmental threat, pure DNA‑Self schemas are maps of innate potential.
It could be suggested, that in some way, our “cells” are connected via quantum entanglement, and this unseen and highly symbolic communication, is the source of Jung’s collective unconscious, which is also quietly, updating our codes?
Quantum biology is the study of how quantum mechanical phenomena; coherence, entanglement, tunnelling, and superposition, operate in living biological systems and influence biological function. It bridges the gap between the quantum world of atoms and subatomic particles and the classical biological world we observe macroscopically.
Schema theory emerged from early 20th century psychology, with foundational publications in the 1930s and formalization in the 1950s-1970s.
Our Theory of DNA-Self, includes the concept that, due to a small child’s ability to forget upsetting or uncomfortable moments, adults may well find that they actually have two masks. One will be hidden, and highly automated.
The DNA-Self theory proposes that each new-born enters the world with a pre-populated schema network, this is a complete developmental blueprint encoded in genetic material, shaped by prenatal environment, containing latent traits, skills, and associated needs awaiting activation through exploration.
There is the suggestion that the phenomena of Imaginary Friends, seen in many children around the globe, very often fitting into that child’s acceptable world-view, but often found concerning, by their parents, could be externalised projections from their own mind. Some kind of imaginative overlay, but with the ability to offer additional insight to the child, by adding a second, or third view to any situation.
The interplay between behaviourism and the psychological mechanisms of avoiding personal truths and projecting blame as part of the phenomena we know as scapegoating, is multidimensional, changing from target to target, based on specific triggers and biases, originating from differing attachment needs.
Scapegoating is a troubling concept that plays a significant role in social dynamics and psychology. Scapegoating is the practice of singling out a person or group for unmerited blame and negative treatment.
There is a societal version of the “broken record” phenomenon, where a false narrative is repeated so often that it becomes ingrained, leading to internalized blame and self-doubt.
