The starting point is the Cell of which there are trillions in the human body. Evidence shows that each cell has a brain in the cell membrane.
Your Genes are not your destiny
Evidence a plenty is then given that the Environment determines how Genes behave, and that your Genes are Not your Destiny. .. which is good news if you are living with a genetic condition.
Hardline Darwinism does not allow for environmental factors. Lipton prefers the theory of Evolution influenced by environment put forward by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, fifty years earlier than Darwin.
Quantum Physics explains the Placebo Effect
Lipton then explores how quantum physics puts Energy first, before Matter; which becomes an explanation of the placebo effect. If you think a pill will make you better, the energy of your thoughts could make it do just that. Also if someone believes a medical treatment will work, the energy of his thoughts will help him get better.
Conscious Parenting
A chapter is devoted to Conscious Parenting. Natural Birthing gives a child a stronger immune system. Lipton questions the necessity of vaccines and formula milk, when mother’s milk has everything a baby needs. Breastfeeding with eye contact between mother and baby creates bonds that will last a lifetime.
The Subconscious mind controls 90% of our actions
The development of a person’s subconscious starts at conception and continues until they are 6. So how parents behave around their children has a lasting effect. But don´t beat yourself up if you now know things should have been different. You cannot be guilty, if you did not know better.
90% of our actions are controlled by the subconscious mind. He found that no amount of conscious positive thinking or will power can override the subconscious mind; but there were ways to reprogram your Subconscious mind, such as Hypnotism or Habitualisation or Psych-k.
Psych-K.com
Psych-k was first developed in the late1980s and now has practicioners around the world, A 3 day workshop will cost around 1000 US$. But a consultation or 2 with a Psych-K facilitator may be all you need. Psych-K reprograms subconscious beliefs using your body as a keyboard. With your facilitator, you choose the subconscious beliefs you want to best support you for your highest good. It does not work for everyone. But it is endorsed by Bruce Lipton, which is a good recommendation.
We are Energy / Spirit first, Body second
For Lipton, science has proved that we are more than just a body. We are energy / spirit first, that continues after the body is no more. His conclusions are slightly convoluted and not for everyone. But the key message is that death is not the end.
