“The thoughts racing through your mind on a moment-to-moment basis have the power to build up or tear down your physical and mental health, including addictions”.
According to Dr. Bruce Lipton, medical school professor and research scientist - this notion of genetic or DNA "determination" - is untrue.
In his book The Biology of Believe: Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter & Miracles,
Lipton explores the biochemical effects of the brain’s functioning.
The implications of this research radically change our understanding of life.
Genes and DNA do not control our biology. Instead, DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating from our positive and negative thoughts.
Lipton shows how that our bodies can change as we change our thoughts. We have the power to alter our health and well-being for the better! “The laboratory research says genes don't control anything. The environment controls the genes”.
This was profound because it said the environment was eliciting the response of the cells, not the cells just generating a response.
The nuclei with the genes, the genes weren't just turning on and off, the genes were responding to an environment.
And you go,"So why is that important?"
Here's what's important: I'm teaching in a classroom that genes are controlling everything - genetic determinism -and in the laboratory I'm finding that genes don't control anything. The environment controls the genes.The humorous side of this is that when we look in the mirror and there's Caroline, a beautiful woman looking back and she says,"Yes I am a single entity, I am a human being, I am a one organism."
I go, "That's an illusion."
Because we’re made out of 50 trillion cells, the cells are the living entity. The body by definition is a community of 50 trillion cells, so it's not one thing. I got 50 trillion cells in here.Well, the significance is that my body, your body is essentially a skin-covered Petri dish, for inside you have 50 trillion cells.
And now here's what's important.
In regard to the fate of the cells: it doesn't make a difference that the cells in a plastic dish or a skin dish, the cell is controlled by the environment … and the original culture medium is blood.
So in your skin-covered Petri dish you have 50 trillion cells, you have blood which is the culture medium, and what it reveals is that the environment is influencing the blood, which in turn controls genetics.
Then you go, "Okay wait, what does that mean?"
We're the ones that respond to the environment.
We're the ones who are controlling the composition of our culture medium our blood through our consciousness. And so why is this important?
Well the first thing: I'm not a victim of genes turning on and off, if I'm a victim of anything it's a victim of the environment that I'm in, or my perspective or perception of that environment.
Wait, how does perspective and perception come into it?
One more step - the human blood is the original culture medium.
Then I say - well blood has a chemical composition.
So the main question is then, who's the chemist?
Who in my body is making chemistry, which is going to be the culture medium, which is going to control my genetics?
The brain is the chemist, that's the one that determines the chemistry.
So, what chemicals should the brain put into the blood?
It's based on the picture in the mind.
The brain translates the picture into chemistry, and the chemistry goes into the body so that our body becomes a compliment to the picture.
It's sort of like paint-by-numbers in reverse.
In paint-by-numbers, remember you get a picture all outlined with numbers … you fill in the colors and then you get the picture.
Now reverse that.
The mind starts with a picture, the brain breaks it down into numbers, then the numbers are not paint but neurochemicals, hormones, growth factors, emotional chemicals.
So the brain looks at the picture, translates it into numbers, chemistry, and then releases that paint into the culture medium. Then the culture medium goes to the cells and creates the complement of the picture.
Your biology as a complement to your mind.
Then, where reality of our experiences come from?
