Aiwass also suddenly realized why, even though his birth father and mother came from Path of Devotion and Path of Beauty respectively, and his foster father was not from the Path of Transcendence... he had inexplicably developed a profound obsession with Demonology back then.
It was an inclination engraved within his bloodline.
Talented Transcendents usually begot children who would become Transcendents of the same path—not because they inherit abilities, but desires, or rather, "debts".
If talent was insufficient, that might actually be fortunate.
