The Biology of Belief: Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter & Miracles
by Bruce H. Lipton
“Just like a single cell, the character of our lives is determined not by our genes but by our responses to the environment signals that propel life.”
The Biology of Belief shatters the long-held dogma in medicine that the fate of your cells, and therefore your health, is controlled by your genes.
Dr Bruce Lipton, Ph. D, who was a prominent researcher at the Stanford University of Medicine, initially observed through experimental studies that identical cells, with identical genes, immersed in different environments led to the cells evolving in different ways. In other words, the environment was the primary force, interacting with the information encoded in the genes, that turned genes “on” or “off”, and produced proteins that were unique to that environment. Genes are not self-actuating, they are not autonomous, but act as antennas or receivers to the symphony of signals originating from both within and without our bodies. At any given moment, our actions, thoughts and beliefs are dynamically influencing our gene expression and our health all the time. We are ultimately in control of our own biology.
We must absorb this life-changing knowledge, integrate it into our being, and realise that our health is in our hands, our hearts and our minds.
