Every baby has some tendency or another from the moment of birth, tendencies
formed by past thoughts and actions. The soul does not inherit tendencies
genetically. All that is transferred genetically is the physical appearance,
the colour of eyes, shape of nose etc. There is a certain amount of
influence acquired in the new situation, e.g. for a child we might say - "He
has his father's bad temper". The fact that the soul was born into that
family to payoff its accounts one way or the other, indicates that the soul
has performed similar actions in a previous birth. That someone has a fear
of heights, someone else a fear of being enclosed, indicates that they had
suffered from similar experiences in a previous birth. The soul's desire for
peace and happiness may be termed as "instinctive" but is certainly not
biological.
