Mind Over Genes: The New Biology

Mind Over Genes: The New Biology

A clip from Bruce Liptons website: BruceLipton.com

Buy The Book "Biology of Belief"

"...This new perspective of human biology does not view the body as just a mechanical device, but rather incorporates the role of a mind and spirit. This breakthrough in biology is fundamental in all healing for it recognizes that when we change our perception or beliefs we send totally different messages to our cells and reprogram their expression. The new-biology reveals why people can have spontaneous remissions or recover from injuries deemed to be permanent disabilities.

The functional units of life are the individual cells that comprise our bodies. Though every cell is innately intelligent and can survive on its own when removed from the body, in the body, each cell foregoes its individuality and becomes a member of a multicellular community. The body really represents the cooperative effort of a community of perhaps fifty trillion single cells. By definition, a community is an organization of individuals committed to supporting a shared vision. Consequently, while every cell is a free-living entity, the body’s community accommodates the wishes and intents of its ‘central voice,’ a character we perceive as the mind and spirit.

When the mind perceives that the environment is safe and supportive, the cells are preoccupied with the growth and maintenance of the body. In stressful situations, cells forego their normal growth functions and adopt a defensive ‘protection’ posture. The body’s energy resources normally used to sustain growth are diverted to systems that provide protection during periods of stress. Simply, growth processes are restricted or suspended in a stressed system. While our systems can accommodate periods of acute (brief) stress, prolonged or chronic stress is debilitating for its energy demands interfere with the required maintenance of the body, and as a consequence, leads to dysfunction and disease."

Hitch Hikers Guide Entry - Galactic Government - The Galaxy²

The Galaxy²

The major problem - one of the major problems, for there are several - one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.

To summarize: it is a well known fact, that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem.

And so this is the situation we find: a succession of Galactic Presidents who so much enjoy the fun and palaver of being in power that they very rarely notice that they're not.

And somewhere in the shadows behind them - who?

Who can possibly rule if no one who wants to do it can be allowed to?

Check out this new picture site. It offers 2 gig upload per month and unlimited storage for 24 USD dollars. Pretty good deal. You can link to it etc. Has some amazing features. The only thing I don't like about it is that I used my "Rogers Yahoo" email account to signup to them and if I move providers I will potentially loose my email address. The people at flickr indicated to me that this would delete my flickr account. That would be a really bad thing if that happened. So my only instructoins to someone signing up to a flickr account would be use a real yahoo email address not a yahoo address that is tied to a ISP provider. Awsome Service otherwise. Hope fully they fix this so I never loose my pictures since it takes ages to upload all my albums as my original pics are 8 mega pixels and they take quite a bit of space.

Speed Kills

I find it interesting that underneath the sheets of all the phone networks there is a digital backbone, so regardless of whether you have an IP phone or not everything is digital, Wooohhh. It is quite easy to setup voice recognition software that mines for information, and triggers on suspect words of any conversation in any language for later analysis. It's why companies like Vonage etc. predict that all phone service will be free in the coming years. Why else would big brother let this happen, now I’m scared. The more people use the phone the more easily it is to see trending and keep tabs on everyone. The interesting part is that people think that not having an IP phone protects them from this but is doesn't, ahhhhhhhhhh. So now with the combination of unlimited email, blogs, electronic media, it is pretty easy to detect information and create profiles of anyone and everyone. My opinion on all this is that it is really just fear creation, something to let more people worry more and become more susceptible to “dis-ease”, and this is what will destroy us humans, in the end, if we continue down this path. We as a society are becoming so disconnected from the earth that we do not see the connection between the busy-ness of our minds to the rate of disease in our societies. This leaves us open to die of silly things that our wonderfully created bodies are more than capable of protecting us from. The sad part is that we are so far down this destructive path that we can no longer, see or feel the reality of the danger. “Speed kills” Our minds are so busy we do not recognize our essential nature anymore. It is our destiny to recognizing our roots and ties to the creator of the universe but only a few of us are going to even recognize what hit us. If your interested in a good book that will alter your perspective check out “The Biology of Belief” by Bruce Lipton.

Aren't sharks endangered?

Aren't sharks endangered? Like opening a "baby seal" restaurant,or a baby panda restaurant. {kind of reminds me of this awful, but clean joke about this guy who got stuck in Arizona with a brokendown car} after two days without food or water, and desperate with a gunin his hands with one bullet left....he encountered a Bald Eagleperched on a rock nearby. With his last bullet, he managed tokill it.

He roasted it immediately and devoured the whole thing.

Soon after he was arrested by the game warden for killingoff a highly endangered species.
After relaying his desperate story to the judge, he was acquitted.Yet all were sad to see the last Bald Eagle go by the way ofthe dodo.

Before the judge let the man go, the court asked how didthe bald eagle actually taste like? Being endangered andall, this bird has been off the delicacy menu for longer thanone can remember.

The man replied: The bald eagle tasted half-way betweena giant panda and a rhino.

Logic

`Contrariwise', continued Tweedledee, `If it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic.' 

 - Lewis Carroll

For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.

Isn't this so true? So the only thing you can "do" is "do" it anyway. You will eaither learn from it or not. If not someone else more worthy will.

Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)

Forest Stewardship Council is a database of accredited companies that are environmentally aware. These companies manufacture environmentally friendly products. You can search the database for companies that make toilet paper. It is pretty cool.

http://fsc-info.org/

~~~~~~~~~~~
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) accredited certification has increased swiftly since the first FSC certificate was issued in 1993. More than 2.000 companies worldwide participate in the FSC certification system today. Only with the help of a database can one collect and provide information on the mounting number of certified companies and their products. It is essential that in addition to making the database easy to use, the completeness and accuracy of the data is maintained
