Dr. Lipton is a pioneer in applying the principles of quantum physics to the field of cellular biology. While traditional cell biology focuses on the physical molecules that control biology, Dr. Lipton's work focuses on the mechanisms through which energy in the form of our beliefs can affect our biology, including our genetic code.

Dr. Lipton summarizes such leading edge science and explores its implications for our lives. Dr. Lipton shows that human beings can control gene activity and even rewrite their genes through their beliefs.

There is an incident in the Bible that proves this fact.

There was a man called Jacob. He was conversing with his father in law Leban, about giving him wages so that he can provide for his own house. Leban ask Jacob what should he give him, and Jacob replied that Leban does not need to give him anything and instead to do just one thing.

The one thing Jacob suggest is for Leban to allow him to go through all his cattle including the sheep and goats, and to remove the speckled, spotted and dark colored from the rest. Such shall be the ones that belong to Jacob. Of course they only make up a small percentage of the entire flock of cattle. So Jacob appear to be asking for very little.

But what happen next was, he did something that was simply ingenious, and it's long before the term genetic engineering had even been heard. He took with him rods (freshly cut-branches) of green poplar, and of the hazel and chestnut tree; and made white stripes on them by peeling the bark and exposing the white inner wood of the rods. What he was doing was making the rods speckled and spotted.

He then set the rods in all the watering troughs, so they would be directly in front of the flocks when they came to drink. When the flocks were in heat and came to drink, they mated in front of the rods. And the young that they bore were streaked, speckled or spotted!

Jacob removed the streaked, speckled or spotted and made separate flocks for himself. He did not put them with Leban's animals (further reinforcing their own genes and not being influenced by others). Whenever the stronger females were in heat, he would place the rods in the troughs in front of the animals so they would mate near them, but if the animals were weak, he would not place them there. So the weak animals went to Leban and the strong ones to Jacob.

In this way, the man grew exceedingly prosperous and came to own large flocks, and maidservants and menservants, and camels and donkeys.

That incident is recorded in Genesis 30:30 until the end of the chapter.

So you see, you can even alter the genetic characteristics of animals by controlling their consciousness with environmental signals. But we're not animals, what makes us human is that we have the ability to control the content of our consciousness. We have the power to decide how environmental signals affect us and we have the power to use our imagination in any way we want.

The mind is greater than body. If you experience the body being greater than the mind, it is in your mind that it is happening. All of reality is in your mind. If you understand how your body works, you can use that understanding to change the way it feels. But that understanding is in your mind.
