Oh man, this is getting weird.
In a prior post, I introduced a series of videos, by Dr. Bruce Lipton, which set out to prove the almost limitless capacity we have for controlling our lives.
Now please understand.
My primary intent (in this blog, in my book, in my workshops) isn’t to discuss physiology and health.
No, my interest, in fact, lies in understanding and redefining success, careers, business, money and retirement.
Having said that, the work of Dr. Lipton (and others like him) fascinates me in that it helps me illustrate the importance of belief and perception—two of the most crucial (and yet underrated) principles of success, happiness and fulfilment.
What astounds me—and it may astound you too—is the heretofore unknown role that perception plays in our everyday lives.
It’s weird, I tell you. It’s really weird.
You can see for yourself by watching the video below, and taking note of these pivotal intervals;
- 1:00 We adjust our genes to fit the environment that we think we live in. This means it’s perception—it’s belief that changes our genes.
- 2:50 We have a lot of control over our life, but it’s mediated by our perception of the environment
- 3:10 Are we genetically controlled? Are we at the behest of your heredity? Are we a victim?
- 3:30 95% of us got here with very appropriate genes to survive and have a great life. Almost always, when we rewrite our genes, we perform a negative process.
- 3:45 95% of cancer has no hereditary linkage. 95% of cancer is actively produced by an indvidual’s perception, rewriting their normal genes and making cancer genes
- 4:30 We have the ability to change anything in our body
- 5:43 Our body has two classes of programs. One class is for growth and the other, protection
- 7:50 Therefore humans are either in some degree of growth or some degree of protection, based on signals (perception)
- 7:59 The most important growth-promoting signal is love.
Now imagine this.
If we have the power to change our genes—our bodies.
How powerful are we in changing other areas of our lives?
