"Biology of Belief:" how to reprogram your mind

If you were able to tune in to Coast to Coast A.M. last night, you probably had an enlightening experience.
The Sci-fi-UFO-new-age radio program hosted by "night hawk" George Noory had an interesting guest on. His name is Dr. Bruce H. Lipton, who discussed his new book, "the Biology of Belief: Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter & Miracles."
He revealed some interesting news brewing in the science and medical communities these days. The question is what actually causes the diseases, mental conditions, traumas or imbalances in our lives, that stop us from truly attaining peace and happiness. So many people feel they are bogged down by being an alcoholic, or a drug addict or depressed, because their father or mother was.
But Lipton said it doesn't have to be that way.
Lipton says that by tapping into a constant stream of consciousness, we are able to create "positive thinking," which can actually prevent these illnesses, once we "reprogram" our minds.
Sound weird? Well, let me explain...
He said more and more of today's biologists are turning away from the theory that genes control our destinies, and will in effect determine whether or not we will grow up to have illnesses, conditions and so forth.
For instance, he said he conducted an experiment with two stem cells, and later found out that the "field" or in our case our "mind," or our belief system, can actually affect whether someone will develop cancer. He said for example an adopted child actually began to have symptoms from that families blood line without even being related, but because they lived together and the child grew up to have the same beliefs.
Many people then say, well, you have the same problems like your parents, and so that is what they are told by the mainstream psychiatric world.
But Lipton said if our belief system does not change, than it doesn't matter how much therapy, medication or understanding we attain, because our unconscious mind will immediately begin to spring back into action like a "machine."
Our unconscious mind is developed at a very young age, from the age of birth to five years old. In fact in those very young years, he said, is when we only rely on a trance-like unconscious stream of thought, such as crying to get food or when in fear, or laughing when something is funny. But our conscious mind is developed about by the age of 7, and we are then able to decide and make conscious choices, but we still have an unconscious mechanism that we have to battle with.
An example he used is that when you fall in love, for instance, you are constantly living in a state of consciousness, to dress better, to feel better and to talk a certain way. You are very self aware at this point.
But after the honeymoon, and after the wedding, people often go back to their other stream of unconsciousness, allowing all the fears and negative thinking they learned as a child to take them over because there is nothing left to live up to anymore. And so many people will say, "wow, you aren't the person I married."
What Dr. Lipton says is that we can apply this simple theory of falling in love into our everyday lives and it doesn't have to stop after the honeymoon.
Dr. Lipton's Web site is offering a special for those who buy the book online until Sept. 8.
