These Four Beliefs Defy Modern Science

[Guest guest]

Someone was just telling me the other day

that our DNA controls our physical life and our destiny for medical problems.

I knew I had just read an article debunking that notion, but couldn’t

remember where. I found it this morning. Thought I’d share it with you.

These Four Beliefs Defy Modern Science

Excerpted from Dr Mercola's web site

Cellular

biologist Bruce Lipton, PhD., who is one of the leading authorities on how

emotions can regulate genetic expression, as explained in his excellent

book The Biology of Belief, which was published last year.

Dr. Lipton’s new book is Spontaneous Evolution and was just published

just a few days ago. In this interview, he discusses “the four myth

perceptions of the Apocalypse.” These are the myths that society has

bought, up to now, as actual science. Over the last two decades or

so, leading edge science has shown them to be not only flawed, but entirely

false, providing such profoundly different answers that it will undoubtedly

change the way we live in the future.

Myth # 1 : You Live in a Mechanical

Universe

The first

myth perception is that the world, especially biology and medicine, operates

through Newtonian physics. It says you live in a mechanical universe.

According to this belief, your body is a physical machine, so by

modifying the parts of the machine, you can modify your health.

As a

physical machine, your body responds to physical “things” like

chemicals and drugs, and by adjusting the drugs that modify your machinery,

doctors can modify and control life.

Now, with the advent of

quantum physics, scientists have realized that this theory is flawed because

quantum physics show that the invisible, immaterial realm is far more important

than the material realm.

In fact, your thoughts

may shape your environment far more than physical matter.

Einstein

himself is quoted as saying: “The field is the sole governing agency of the

particle.” What that means is that invisible energy is

the sole governing agency of matter (the physical world).

It’s

interesting to note that the word ‘spirit’ by spiritualists, and

the word ‘field’ by physicists, use the same definition for those

two words.

So, the

new science is actually taking us back, and shows that your thoughts, your

attitudes, your beliefs, and the invisible environment, are more primary in

shaping your life than anything in the physical world is.

Myth # 2: Your Genes Control Your Life

In his

book, The Biology of Belief, Dr. Lipton explains the foundation of epigenetics,

and how the true secret to life does not lie within your DNA, but rather

within the mechanisms of the cell membrane. In this way – which is

contrary to conventional medical science – it is actually the

cell’s membrane -- operating in response to environmental signals picked

up by the membrane’s receptors -- that control the “reading”

of the genes inside.

 

What does this mean?

It means

that you are not controlled by your genetic makeup. Instead, your genetic

readout (which genes are turned “on” and which are turned

“off”) is primarily determined by your thoughts, attitudes, and

perceptions!

The major

problem with believing the myth that your genes control your life is that you

become a victim of your heredity. Since you can’t change your genes, it

essentially means that your life is predetermined, and therefore you have very

little control over your health. With any luck, modern medicine will find the

gene responsible and be able to alter it, or devise some other form of drug to

modify your body’s chemistry, but aside from that, you’re out of

luck…

The new

science, however, reveals that your perceptions control your biology,

and this places you in the role of Master, because if you can change your

perceptions, you can shape and direct your own genetic readout.

It places

YOU in the power position, for better or worse.

As Dr.

Lipton says, “This

is very relevant to the world that we are in because we have to take back a

belief that we have power over our lives. Because our current perception is

that we are victims, and since perceptions control life, if you believe you are

a victim, you become a victim. When we change our perceptions, we can become

masters. So we are moving out of “victimhood” into mastery.”

Myth # 3: Life is Based on Survival of

the Fittest

The third

misperception is the Darwinian belief that life and evolution is based on the

survival of the fittest, which is an inherent competition and a struggle for

existence that goes on forever.

The new

science, however, shows that this is incorrect; that evolution was not

based on competition, but rather on cooperation.

This is a

profound difference, and it tells us that if we want to evolve as a species, we

must stop competing, and begin to recognize our coherence – that we

evolved to live as a harmonious community of people, living on this planet as

one living “thing” called humanity.

Myth # 4: Life Evolved as a Random

Process

This is

another Darwinian theory. The significance of this myth is that, based upon it,

you have no purpose here, and humans are somewhat disconnected from the

environment altogether.

It says

that you got here by accident, and since humanity was accidental, humans have

no real purpose here on planet earth.

The new

biology, on the other hand, reveals that you are in fact an extension of your

environment.

In fact,

every time an organism is introduced into an ecosystem, its function is to

balance it and keep it stable. When viewed from this perspective, you realize

that the function of your existence here on earth is to create harmony and

stability within your environment.

Says Dr.

Lipton, “…

humanity evolved as a compliment to an environment. The very scary situation

is, if we destroy the environment that created us, then essentially, we are

destroying the foundation of our existence.”

New Solutions for Old Problems

I have long maintained

that your emotional stateplays a role in nearly every physical disease -- from

heart disease, to depression, to arthritis and cancer. Even the conservative

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that 85 percent of all

diseases have an emotional element.

 

If your thoughts and

emotions play such a significant role in modifying your biology and your health

(and I believe they do), then treating your emotions becomes an essential part of optimal

health.

Terms

like “energy medicine” and “energy psychology” are

terms that have sprung up in response to these shifts in perception of reality,

and I’ve long been an advocate of energy psychology tools to address

underlying emotional traumas that can trigger disease, or keep you locked in a

disease pattern.

Meridian tapping

techniques, for example, which work on several levels of your collective

mind-body-spirit simultaneously, can help you get a better handle on your

emotions and buried pain, including the stress from unexpected tragedies.

Optimal

health might really hinge on dealing with, and resolving your emotional traumas

as quickly as possible; not letting old emotional wounds linger and fester.

In severe

cases you might not be able to perform the techniques satisfactorily on

yourself, in which case I would highly recommend you seek out a trained

professional.
