Bruce H. Lipton Ph.D. and the Biology of Belief

Yesterday I listened to a 2 hour seminar online presented by Bruce Lipton, a cell biologist. I have to say that I'm blown away and giddy with hopefullness for the future!

How I found Bruce Lipton

I was asking questions to people on PowerfulIntentions.org about using Law of Attraction to help cure dis-ease, specifically for my child. My 4 yo. son was diagnosed with some crazy "uncurable" condition at the age of 2 1/2 that involves allergies and degeneration of the esophagus. Someone pointed me to Dr. Lipton and his scientific findings. I just got his book this week and plan to read it immediately. However, I guess LOA was working in my favor because I had signed up at his website some time ago and got notice of this online seminar and really wanted to listen to it, but it was $20. Anyway, I got an opportunity to listen to it for free so I registered. And here I am, even more interested and fascinated with LOA, Quantum Physics, and the Biology of Belief and how our health and happiness is truly in our hands!

Without repeating the entire seminar I'd like to share a couple things that really hit me. One is that our genetics do not determine our fate. We are not stuck. We are not vicitims as the current world would have us believe. We do not need to rely on the expertise of doctors and specialists and huge drug companies to heal us. We have the power within us. Secondly, that our conscious mind is only working 5% of the day. That is the part that has dreams and desires. However, our actions and behaviors come from our subconscious mind which is working the other 95% of the day. And the subconscious mind works out of habits and patterns that were downloaded as children, many of them limiting. That's why it's so hard for us to actually manifest our dreams... because our subconscious minds are still working from conflicting limiting patterns and habits.

I know this sounds all hocus-pocus to many. Believe me, my husband is one of those people. I've always been quite open minded about things. Yet, I get torn because society tells us to beware of scams and such. But we finally realized the world wasn't flat, so who's to say that what we believe right now, based on science isn't actually wrong and outdated, and that the new science is correct? Especially when searching for a cure for dis-ease and trying to manifest a happy and healthful life? The old way hasn't given us the cures we desire.

The more I read and learn, the more I find to read and learn about! I'm excited and fascinated by all the information I'm finding. I believe that I've attracted this information to me and now I need to sort through it all and figure out exactly how I'm going to proceed.

I have to say again though, all this information leaves me feeling hopeful and enlightened! As usual, I'll keep you posted.

Eckhart Tolle and Living in the Now

My introduction to Mr. Eckhart Tolle was with the Oprah book club selection "A New Earth". Mind you, I don't even watch Oprah but I somehow stumbled upon this book and her online book club course complete with interviews with the author. And then I decided not to do it. Yet a month or so later I saw the book on Amazon and it was inexpensive enough to take a peek at it. And I'm SO glad I did. The book was so interesting I eventually did sign up for the interviews between Oprah and Eckhart which were extremely helpful in absorbing the information.

Let me just say, I have complained over and over about my incredibly busy noisy mind that just never lets up and tortures me to no end. I had no idea that this book and his other book "The Power of Now" would address this very problem. (After I finished "A New Earth" I wanted more so bought "The Power of Now" and enjoyed it as well.) Both books have totally enlightened me and have made so many things much more clear. And though my little mind is still chattering away trying to mess with me, I know that it is simply my mind and not me. I truly believe that over time it will improve even more.

And I still wanted to learn more, so I rented his DVD set from Netflix "The Flowering of Human Consciousness" which was from a seminar in La Jolla, CA in 2001. Yes, Mr. Tolle has a quiet passive speaking voice, but it's quite soothing at the same time. And the information and how he explains things is extremely helpful. The information from these DVD's are just as pertinent today as when recorded and tie directly to the lessons in both books. I would highly recommend the DVD's if you want to listen to him speak about the information in his books. I also recommend the books. I have re-read parts of them as needed and believe I will continue to re-read sections as needed or until I reach complete enlightenment, which I'm sure will take some time!

How do his books tie to Law of Attraction? The focus is about living in the now. At some point he talks about how we build things from the angst of not wanting to be here right now, but somewhere else, and what we make, build, design, etc. is done with some negative energy resulting in a tainted product or outcome. Where if we totally accept the now, the current moment, and build, design, make things from here, they will be done with much greater ease and with positive energy and the end result will also be very positive. In addition, living in the now also prohibits your mind from talking about those negative things like "I never have enough money", "these bad things always happen to me", etc. Those thoughts certainly don't manifest the positive things you're desiring. So I truly recommend you take a peek at either one of his books and get clear about living in the now. (But don't expect it to happen overnight... it takes time.)
