Heard a great story about Charles Manson's Son: Chuck Manson had a son by a women that he raped at a drug binged party. The son was adopted by loving parents who took good care of him. He knew he was adopted. Later in life, he desired to know who his real parents were. He got in touch with his adopted mother and he asked her who his real father was. Reluctantly, she told him. He is the son of Charles Manson. The son struggled with schizophrenia mildly in college. However, he was also much into Zen and meditated everyday and was a very spiritual person. This shows that biology is only predisposition and that the Spirit can overcome many challenges.I am sure that the adopted son was a highly evolved spirit but it goes to show that if through practice he can have an enlightened life, then anyone can improve their own life through spiritual practice.... Maybe we have the will and courage to remain on the path.
