Hi again, I recently read a great book, The Biology of Belief, in which biologist, the great Bruce Lipton Phd, provides proof that when we boil it down, each individual cell in our body is not only in it’s most basic form a vortex of energy, but consciously works in unity with the other atoms for the ‘good of the whole’.
He shows that individual cells have purpose, are focused on their task. But what about us humans? What is our purpose? Social interpretation of Darwin’s theory of evolution has us believing it is the ‘survival of the fittest’. Of individualism. We take it literally. Every man for himself. But would not to survive alone, be the end of humanity? Does it not take at least two to tango?! 8)
The evidence shows that we human beings are the consequence of consciously collective amoeba. And our individual cells demonstrate that community is key. Strength in numbers. Survival together. So why do we humans choose individualism & separation?
It would seem that humans have a great capacity for sticking to beliefs (true or false), with a passion. The need to be right (ironically emanating from our separation anxiety – see previous blog) closes minds. And hyper-rational scientists are not immune. Quite the opposite in fact.
Because of this hyper-rational approach, science may be at risk of disregarding (and funders hiding due to extreme financial implications) the very exceptions in experiments which may lead to evolutionary progress. And ironically, with brilliant scientists such as Darwin, we substituted stages in the evolution of the truth for the truth!
It’s a little known fact that even Darwin himself conceded his evolutionary theory had short changed the role of the environment in evolution. Bruce notes that in training, biologists are taught that when a single cell is ailing, you look to the cell’s environment first and not to the cell itself. And Darwin himself was aware that his theory was evolutionary, not definitive, but part of a growing truth – a truth which I think is our purpose as humans to find.
What if external energies (energies from us ‘the immediate environment’ and from our own external environment; the world around us) have more bearing on the internal energies in the vortex of each atom in our bodies than we are aware of?
Energy based healing modalities have often been officially labelled unscientific by hyper-rational scientists because no research/evidence is currently available. But in spite of this, the medical community has still successfully adopted quantum tools such as CAT/MRI and PET scans in daily use… because they work. These tools read energy fields non-invasively to highlight healthy and diseased tissue. There seems to be contradiction.
And it is already known that when the conscious mind has a belief which conflicts with a formerly learned subconscious truth, the conflict is expressed as a weakening of the body’s muscles. Through thought-produced energy. This is the basis of Kinesiology.
Our thoughts produce either +ve or -ve energies which affect the health of every single cell in our body! We are what we think and we all have the ability to change this polarity.
Perhaps we are not the ‘cumulative whole’ of our atoms & cells as our social conditioning would have us believe! What if we are simply an intelligent cumulative ‘stage’ contributing to something bigger… or to infinity; our elitist arrogance putting a great spanner in the works with our misunderstanding!
