My thoughts on Bruce Lipton/The Biology of Belief

I interviewed with Bruce Lipton, cell biologist and author of THE BIOLOGY OF BELIEF for Zentertainment Talk Radio.

I am fascinated by the subconscious. What information and what memories does it hold there? What behaviours and choices does it control? Where did I get these downloads? Where did you get yours? And do we continue to get "downloaded" our whole life?

I think it is so true that much of the time we try to change things consciously, but the problems are in the subconsious! So how do we access that place and rewrite the script? Listen in to this interview with Bruce Lipton and discover some new possibilities.

I think teachers come in many forms. As children, our first teachers are our parents, then also friends, the culture and the teachings that come from various religions and spiritual practices. If you are into this sort of thing, many times you might also be influenced greatly by "psychics" and various "healers."

Consider the message you have received during your lifetime. What if some of the messages you swallowed were not true? Then what?

In this interview Bruce and I talk about all of this and more. Find out about some new ways to rewrite those subconscious tapes that might be wreaking havoc in your life!

Now to get more personal-

If the state of my physical health is the measurement of my beliefs, then it must mean I have some beliefs not working for me. But is this always true? Can we really say that all illness, all relationship problems, are hardships whatever they are, are a result of negative thinking? I don't think it is that black and white.

My doctor said something to me that I loved. He said, "Jo, you are an exquisitely made fine Swiss watch. If you put a grain of sand in Big Ben, it will still work. But if you put a grain of sand in a Swiss watch, it will stop."

Now what a compliment that is. If you are reading this and are one of those people who feel things more deeply, you are a swiss watch!

Why are some of us more sensitive? Why do some of us face illness in our lives? For some people, it is directly related to their thoughts. For others, I think It has to be more than a matter of one's thoughts. For look around. How many people do you know whose biology is fine, yet they are not especially conscious or even nice!

I love the book of Job in the Bible. Job had everything. Successful business, healthy kids, great wife, money and great health. He had solid strong beliefs and strong faith. Then came along these tests. One by one, things crumbled. His children were killed, his empire collapsed, and he got a physical illness. His friends thought that the only way these things could have happened is if he did something wrong to deserve punishment, or that his faith and beliefs were weak.

In the end, God comes along and says that Job did nothing wrong that brought these struggles on. Everyone is trying to figure out why bad things could happen to good people. And God says to everyone, basically, who are you to think you control the universe? Where were you when I made the stars? Do you make the sun rise and set and make the lightning strike?

This shows me that there is great mystery in life, and we are better to honor that than to think we can be perfect. (Or that only those who are perfect in their lives deserve health and blessings).

I think we do people a great disservice when we are always making them think that if they don't cure an "incurable" illness, then they are somehow failure. And that is what many of the people I come across are doing, even in subtle ways.

Bruce Lipton is a cell biologist, and has studied cells his whole life. He says that many thing we believe are genetic, are in fact not genetic, and can be changed. That is encouraging.

In this interview, Bruce said that when people are exposed to high power lines, the people who have side effects are those who are stressed out. Makes sense. 

But it's also not true. Everyone I know in NYC is stressed to the max, and many people don't have reactions in the form of physical illness. There is more to it than stress.

He said that someone's belief is what makes something work or not work. Which is true but also not true. When my friend was switched to a generic version of a brand name drug she takes for MS symptoms, she had the total belief it was the same thing, but it did not work at all. Her belief had nothing to do with it.

I know for myself, there have been times when I was convinced that something was the right thing for me and would give me healing. Yet it did not.

I totally believe in what bruce said in this interview 100% but not for everyone in every situation 100% of the time. 

I don't think that in bringing up these things I am denying the wonderful possibilities that exist in exploring our subconsious thoughts. We ARE more powerful than we know, and we CAN make changes.

Also, it is important to be gentle on ourselves when we don't understand why things are as they are.

"THE BIOLOGY OF BELIEF" is a very interesting read. I recommend it. I'm just now sure if it is the whole picture....
