"... The belief that we are frail biochemical machines controlled by genes is giving way to an understanding that we are powerful creators of our lives and the world in which we live."
"My life-changing moment occurred while I was reviewing research on the mechanisms by which cells control their physiology and behaviour. Suddenly I realised that a cell's life is controlled by the physical and energetic environment and not by its genes. Genes are simply molecular blueprints used in the construction of cells, tissues and organs. The environment serves as a "contractor" who reads and engages those genetic blueprints and is ultimately resposible for the character of a cell's life. It is a single cell's "awareness" of the environment, not its genes, that sets into motion the mechanisms of life."
"Our well-developed nervous systems headed by our big brains means that our awareness is more complicated than single cells. When our uniquely human minds get involved we can choose to perceive the environment in different ways, unlike single cells whose awareness is more reflexive.
I was exhilarated by the new realisation that I could change the character of my life by changing my beliefs."
"... the character of our lives is detemined not by our genes but by our responses to the environmental signals that propel life."
(Bruce Lipton, Ph.D. in 'The Biology of Belief')
