Perception, environment and genes – The state of the art information

Hi Everyone,

I just watched a very inspiring lecture video (twice) given by cellular biologist Dr. Bruce Lipton who wrote the book The Biology Of Belief. The video, really well presented with a lot of passion and clarity, was a summation of the scientific material presented in his book plus a few more developments. The video is called Nature, Nurture and The Power Of Love – The Biology of Conscious Parenting. (www.brucelipton.com)

The book was great but the video was even better. He brought together the latest facts about DNA research and coupled them with psychology and conscious parenting. I will give some basic points and let you go for the rest. (There is a HUGE amount of exciting info in this work.)

1. The prevailing theory that DNA and genes control behavior is wrong. Genes do not trigger themselves and determine anything.

2. The cell membrane (which he calls the “mem-brain”) is the actual brain of the cell, not the nucleus, and as such mediates information and substances through itself from the environment to the inside of the cell and the cell carries on its life that way. What the membrane does is use its sensory relationship to the environment to determine which genes to trigger.

Therefore: (Take a deep breath. This is a Good one.)

3. IT IS OUR PERCEPTION OF AND RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ENVIRONMENT that stimulates specific DNA to be chosen to make the proper proteins to create our behaviors. (He presents this making it clear that what he is presenting is completely confirmed scientifically and he explains it in detail.)

And then:

4. The feelings and behaviors, in effect, the energies, of parents have an enormous effect on the development of their child by effecting what genes will be chosen for the child from as early as TWO MONTHS BEFORE CONCEPTION.

There is a lot more about human behavior, fight/flight, immune system behavior based on fear as opposed to love, and the understanding that a cell cannot protect and grow simultaneously. In other words, when we expend enormous amounts of energy to protect ourselves we are keeping ourselves from developing.

I loved it!
