Every material entity in the cosmos, including you and me, generates a unique energy signature,” writes Dr. Bruce Lipton book “The Biology of Belief.” He has suggested approaches to health care and simplified the study of living things.
Bruce has been investigating epigenetics, a relatively new area of biology. He explains how cells respond to their surroundings and sheds light on their mysterious nature. According to him, each individual cell performs the same tasks as a universe, and the membrane protects the cell from outside influences by serving as a kind of security guard who admits only the “beneficial” substances and keeps out the “harmful” ones.
One ‘cell’ is the basic building block and operating unit of all known forms of life. Lipton shows us that cells are intelligent and can be taught by observation, reflection, and exposure to new information. Therefore, individuals should be proactive in their responses to their surroundings, other people’s ideas, and any other kind of external energy.
We have tremendous control over the nature and architecture of this system’s mind. The genetic code of individual cells is susceptible to our efforts. Instructing each cell in what to do next, as well as making adjustments to our psychological and physiological surroundings, may have an effect on the underlying genetic predisposition.
I thought it was fascinating that the biology of believing addressed the question of why some individuals seem to avoid being sick altogether. This book, together with my own personal experiences, has led me to the conclusion that maybe, just perhaps, our health might be improved just by adopting a more optimistic and hopeful attitude on life.
