Answer this…
- How much control do we have over our own lives?
- Are we really controlled by our genes like some modern scientists and authors want us to believe?
- Just how much power do we have to shape our lives and those of others?
Contrary to what many people are being led to believe, a lot of
the emphasis placed on genes determining human behavior is nothing but theory
and doctrine. Go back in history to 1990; a huge, international research
program began the human genome project. Its main goal was to map out all
human genes and their interactions using computer software and then to convert
that knowledge into (profitable) “benefits” for mankind, such
as finding cures for the most horrible diseases.
The hype was everywhere in the scientific community and they sure
made it sound promising for wiping out diseases and spent a lot of taxpayers’ money on it, but was the whole project used for good? Personally,
I don’t think so!
In essence, what this central dogma says is that since it is
proteins that carry out the essential life-processes inside our cells, and
their functions can only do what our genes say (this is what was believed in
the medical establishment) then we humans are nothing more than the expression
of our genes.
This outdated theory is still being taught in medical schools and
universities all over the world today. Fortunately for all conscious people,
this disempowering belief has been proven to be false.
There is an innate intelligence at play in life that we can’t even begin to understand. According to this new science called Epigenetic's
there is an interplay of forces between living beings and their environments.
Plenty of highly intelligent biologists have proven beyond a doubt that the
genes do not determine human outcomes –
it is our responses to our environment that actually determine the
expression of our genes.
Genes can be activated and
de-activated by signals from the environment through our senses . The
consciousness of the cell is inside the cell’s membrane. Each
and every cell in our body has a type of consciousness. Genes change their
expression depending on what is happening outside our cells and even outside
our bodies.
What Does This Mean For
Our Health ?
We are free to make conscious decisions that impact our lives and
those of others. We are not robots carrying out the commands of our genes. Our
beliefs, diet, thoughts and movement can change our biology. We have the power
to heal ourselves, increase our feelings of self-worth and improve our
emotional state. Every aspect of our lives can be improved with the right
intention.
The worst thing we can do as thinking and feeling human beings is
to lose touch with our deep internal messages and positive emotions and let
fear and anger take over our lives. The part of the brain called the limbic
system regulates messages throughout the body that affect how we feel. When we
allow ourselves to be taken over by negative thinking we are putting ourselves
in a mental-biological state of the fight or flight response.
In order to grow positively in life we need to express positive
emotions such as love, compassion, and joy .It is critical to feed our innate
thoughts to conquer our fears and limiting beliefs to improve our own lives.
When we change our beliefs and consciously control our emotional states we
change our lives.
Better Brain tips:
Get in touch with the emotions you are feeling throughout the
week. Take a piece of paper and draw a line down the middle.
On the left capture all the emotions you feel throughout the week
( left brain)
On the right side write down all the emotions you want to feel (
right brain )
Outcome: Determine what triggers each response and strengthen
positive emotions and address negative emotions
