Genes, Cells & Belief

Research scientist Bruce Lipton returned to discuss his paradigm shifting mind/body thesis-- that our belief system affects genetic activity. Mainstream science has long posited the dogma of "genetic determinism"-- that a person's genetic makeup controls the character of their life. But this kind of the thinking has led to a belief structure built around "victimization." People need to take control through self-knowledge, and empower themselves rather than blame their genes, he argued.

In actuality, we are made up of a "community of 50 trillion cells" —which are each "sentient living beings," and these cells react to the environment they encounter. Every human is like a "skin-covered Petri dish" and their health is a reflection of how they perceive the environment, said Lipton.

We have stem cells that should regenerate and repair our bodies but the chemistry that we put in from the outside interferes with that activity. Further, our belief system, indoctrinated into us from the time we are children, tells us that we can't heal ourselves on our own-- that we must go to a doctor, he pointed out.
