(by Gerald Hagler) Selfhealing Academy:Dr. Lipton, you left the conventional science establishment many years ago and have since been addressing a broad public with the message that the view that genes control our health is wrong. Bruce Lipton:Yes, that's true, but let's start with some physics.physics studies the...
The most fundamental insight, however, was the proof that we are all connected with each other and with the world through the basic framework of our existence (=zero point field). It had been proved by scientific experiments that there can be something like a life force flowing through our universe, which has been variously called collective consciousness or, in the language of theologies, the Holy Spirit. There was now a plausible explanation for all that mankind had believed in for centuries without having solid evidence or adequate proof, from the efficacy of alternative cures or even prayers, to life after death.
There are as many nutritional recommendations as there are types of bread, many of which are diametrically opposed to each other. Is there such a thing as an ideal diet at all, or do we forget in this discussion quite decisive framework factors?
Above all, however, today's crisis is an opportunity to reflect on one's own strengths and abilities. You don't need any special training or ability to do this. I am talking about the qualities inherent in the "human operating system" such as deep trust in one's own power, readiness to help, but also the awareness of being held by a higher power - indeed of being a part of this power that is above all imponderables of earthly life.
Every human being lives the first months of his life in this consciousness. Through upbringing and life circumstances and some twisted social values, we become headless chickens at times. But: a return to what makes me as a human being is possible at any time. It is perhaps especially possible when the accustomed protective walls break down all around.
The extent to which a certain expectation alone can make people ill has been investigated in nocebo research. Therefore, we know today: about 25% of all subjects of a drug test develop the symptoms described under the side effects, even if you only got a sugar pill without active ingredients. In addition, the nocebo effect can even be contagious!
Mindfulness is not a technique that can be learned for expensive money, but our natural state of being. The mindful person directs the focus away from their own advantage and towards the observing consciousness that they truly are, and always will be.
Very likely, despite the most modern technical facilities, it is still the case today that - as in Semmelweis' time - we simply do not yet understand certain factors because we cannot measure them.
But we could observe the effect. And draw meaningful conclusions from it.
Buddhism provides simple techniques for establishing mental hygiene. Tich Nhat Hanh is one of the most famous teachers in this field.
The morning blessing lovingly aligns us and ensures that we attract harmonious events. I was amazed at the pleasing (=blessing) effects the morning ritual brought after only a few days.
Many things grow into our lives and like the frog in the slowly getting hotter soup pot we hardly notice that many things are not only not necessary, but even stress us more, burden us additionally, or cut us off from essentials.
