Theory of evolution?

We all somehow “know” that the mind/body connection is the key to real health. Are you tired of trying to find the words that describe how the mind and body are related, and why their relationships are important for proper health? A renaissance in Cell Biology now provides the cutting edge science - real science - to prove how holistic health therapies work!

Research scientist Bruce Lipton, Ph.D., introduces a long-awaited paradigm shift in the biomedical sciences. The new science will inspire your spirit, engage your mind and challenge your creativity as you comprehend the enormous real potential for applying this information in your life and in your profession.

As we face the extinction of so many creatures in this planet we need to consider facing our own extinction. Because human activity is based on an old story about how we are and from where we come from: Traditional Biology.

What we need is a NEW BIOLOGY, in order to learn to connect better; to learn that we are all together in this planet. We are so together as all the trillions of cells that form our physical body are together, floating, eating, living, making love, working (pretty hard, actually) dying, reproducing … We need to learn we are all breathing the same air.

Let’s take a look at the rovers that NASA launched in Mars. They move around Mars and are controlling by NASA. They have an antenna there in the red planet and here, in Orlando, they have the remote control. In this way, NASA acquires information of what is going on there, in Mars.  And if the battery in the Mars’ rovers dies, the controller here in Cape Canaveral is not going to die. He is miles and miles distant from his rover. He is not even there.

Let’s say that we are the Earth rovers. What we really are it is not in our bodies. Whatever is controlling our body it is not IN THE BODY.  So, if my “body’s rover” dies, I am not going to die. What I am, it is not even there (in the body).

The mistake of the traditional Biology is that it was looking only to the vehicle, not even understanding that it was suppose to be a driver.

If you believe you are a victim, you are a victim. You create the relation between you and the vehicle you drive.

Becoming aware is not going to change your life. But it will give you a new perspective: “Oh, I have a spiritual reality and a physical reality!”

Our cells naturally read movement. They have a very refined antenna (the rover?) and they have a system of interpretation that reads the signs that come from the outside. They live from and by the information from their environment.

We can learn a lot with the cells. The whole purpose to be here (in this planet) is to be sensitive to the environment around us. Is to live everyday the fullest you can, doing the best you can do.

Look the cell…look one cell… going micro.
You represent a community of cells; fifty million intelligent beings; fifty million citizens. Yes, the cells are living beings. We are a community.

95% of us have a complete gene to live healthy.
So what is happening? Why so many illnesses, so many unhealthy people?
Answer: we are failing to know what we are.

WE ARE NOT THE VEHICLE… WE ARE THE DRIVER.

What do you think, your opinion about things, that’s what’s important. And 70% of your thoughts are redundant and negative.

Every cell has its respiratory system, digestive system, nerve system, immune system. As we take one single cell we discover that it is just a miniature of what we are. If you are looking at a cell, you are looking at a human being.

It is why science should change as we evolve… Science cannot be static.
And science works like that: we have an idea. Then we find the science that fits and can measure that idea.

Where do we get this idea?

Democritus, known in antiquity as the ‘laughing philosopher’ because of his emphasis on the value of ‘cheerfulness,’ was one of the two founders of ancient atomist theory, from where our traditional biology is based on.
The atomists held that there are smallest indivisible bodies from which everything else is composed, and that these move about in an infinite void space. Basically, “What you see is what you get”.

1)    everything is made of atoms
2)    between atoms is space (vacuum)
3)    and there is motion (when atoms collide)

Socrates and Descartes on Dualism Philosophy

Socrates had a dualistic philosophy: Most of the earlier pre-Socratic philosophers imagined that the primary stuff out of which things are made or from which they originate is not merely like something that is alive, but is indeed instinct with life.

Dualism means the complete separation of the mental world and the physical world. In philosophy, it is the theory that the universe is explicable only as a whole composed of two distinct and mutually exclusive factors: the mind and the body. Socrates and Plato are called dualists because they think that mind and body are separate and distinct substances. Mind is conscious and non-spatial and body is spatial but not conscious. While separate, these two substances interact. Both Socrates and Descartes argue that the mind and body are separable and immortal.

1)    The forces are independent from a prior material world
2)    The universe is perfect or ideal
3)    The universe is unchanging

Sir Isaac Newton, 1643 –1727

He was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist and theologian. His Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, published in 1687, is considered to be the most influential book in the history of traditional science.

In this work, Newton described universal gravitation and the three laws of motion, laying the groundwork for classical mechanics, which dominated the scientific view of the physical universe for the next three centuries and is the basis for modern engineering. Newton showed that the motions of objects on Earth and of celestial bodies are governed by the same set of natural laws by demonstrating the consistency between Kepler’s laws of planetary motion and his theory of gravitation, thus removing the last doubts about heliocentrism and advancing the scientific revolution.

In mechanics, Newton enunciated the principles of conservation of momentum and angular momentum. In optics, he invented the reflecting telescope and developed a theory of colour based on the observation that a prism decomposes white light into a visible spectrum. He also formulated an empirical law of cooling and studied the speed of sound.

In mathematics, Newton shares the credit with Gottfried Leibniz for the development of calculus. He also demonstrated the generalized binomial theorem, developed the so-called “Newton’s method” for approximating the zeroes of a function, and contributed to the study of power series.

Predicting the movements of the universe, Newton set up the understanding of the universe as a machine.

He made a clear separation between science and religion:
(…) “We live in a material world”
(…) “Do not focus on the invisible”
(…) “We are biochemical machines controlled by genes”

Of course, if universe is matter, human is a piece of matter.
Then we dive into the Reductionism - where we study the whole taking the pieces apart; and into the Determinism – where we can predict what is going to happen.

The modern science’s purpose is to obtain knowledge so that can be used to dominate and control nature…  And that is leading us to extinction.

Darwin

Charles Robert Darwin was born on February 12, 1809 in Shrewsbury, England. Darwin’s theory of evolutionary selection holds that variation within species occurs randomly and that the survival or extinction of each organism is determined by that organism’s ability to adapt to its environment.

Darwin’s work had a tremendous impact on religious thought. Many people strongly opposed the idea of evolution because it conflicted with their religious convictions. Darwin avoided talking about the theological and sociological aspects of his work, but others used his theories to support their own theories about society.

He brought the question: “Where is the natural control of life….?”
His answer: “Traits are controlled by hereditary factors. Something physical must be passing from parents to child.”

In this way, his Theory of Evolution was/is:  Evolution is controlled by a struggle of survival.

This Theory proclaims that life is a struggle. That’s the theory we all grew up with. We have a strong belief system that the world is made by competition. And there is a “favorable preservation of the fittest races, in this struggle for life”. The fittest is the one that is adapted to the environment so as to capable of surviving.

It has been supposed that Darwin renounced evolution on his deathbed. Shortly after his death, temperance campaigner and evangelist Lady Elizabeth Hope claimed she visited Darwin at his deathbed, and witnessed the renunciation. Her story was printed in a Boston newspaper and subsequently spread.

Now, the new sciences are putting a label “WRONG” to this ancient, untrue theory.

Evolution is not made by competition. Evolution is made of cooperation.
This is not a violent world. That’s a false understanding.
If you think this is a competitive world you are completely far to understand your true nature and your purpose in life.

New Biology:

Chromosomes are 50% DNA and 50% protein (where is the hereditary stuff?)

The characters of the human body are due to proteins. DNA is the code that reproduces and builds proteins. And what controls DNA?

DNA       >     RNA     >     Protein   >     neurons     >  mind
(matter)    (matter)       (matter)         (matter)      (energy)

That’s how information flows in the body ; matter give formation to energy. (Remember Newton’s Law of Physics)

In the genetic determinism:  at the moment of conception your whole life was already pre-programmed. Your happiness was determined by happy genes. We are victims of our hereditary program. We are victims of beliefs. Because than you say: “I didn’t pick to be this way”; “I didn’t have any control of this to happen”. And the tragic conclusion: “Why bother with that?”
In the genetic determinism your own cells are struggling for life. Your own cells are attacking you!

Let’s rethink genetic determinism:
DNA (gene) is the blue print that builds a protein.
In one regular cell we have around 140.000 genes with the capacity to build 140.000 proteins. We still have some RNA regulatory genes adding around 40.000 genes to that amount.

A little worm has 1,227 cells – 20.000 genes
A human being has 50 trillions of cells and less than 25.000 genes
Iatrogenic disease is the 3rd leading cause of death in the United States. Iatrogenic disease is a disease produced due to drugs and its strong chemicals.

This is a call up. It is a pharmaceutical industry failure.

Why traditional medicine is failing?

• Biological processes employ newtoniam mechanicals principles (only take matter in consideration)
• It is based on the control of the biology by genes
• Darwinian theory explaining evolution

Quantum Mechanics
Universe = energy
Energy moves in the universe like ripples in a pond. Energy moves through like waves in the water. We have energy waves all around us, in the space. Energy is interacting all the time. When waves come together they interfere to each other.
2 waves adding up – constructive interference – good vibes
2 waves canceling each other – destructive interference – bad vibes

All organisms communicate by the language of energy. Everything in this universe has vibrational energy. Everything interacts with energy. Then the humans created language, and forgot the truth language of the heart. Language was designed to hide feelings.

Shamans can do energy reading. Actually everyone can. The only difference is that the healers rediscovered the energetic language. They know if you go by your feeling you will never have problem. They allow their inner self talk the language of vibration.

For example: take a camera and try to take a picture of the minor particle of the atom. Your pix will be blank! You cannot take picture of a energy vortex. This is because there is no physical structure in the atom.

If you hit the base of a tornado, in its very middle there is no substance. Atoms are like little tornados. All atoms have equal number of protons and neutrons. Basically they are neutral inside. All atoms except one group have unequal electrons distribution. They spin in a perfect balance.

One side of the atom is more negative than the other side. The distribution is not equal. Therefore, each atom is a generator. It creates a wave of energy when springs. Every atoms emits and absorbs light of different characteristic waves length. We, as energy beings, have our atoms irradiating out and interacting with other atoms of other beings.

We need to go wholeness. Doctors need to see the whole environment of the client, all aspects that can affect their life.
