with the same propensity as their blood siblings both raised in the same family, yet from different genetics. In fact, Lipton reports, “medicine has


acknowledged that illness is seeded in the first six years of life when beliefs are downloaded by the family into the child’s subconscious”. During these years, children’s minds are primarily in a theta brainwave pattern, which creates a hypnagogic state of mind. This trance state explains why children easily blur the boundary between fantasy and form. Walking around in a trance, young children absorb their parents’ beliefs into subconscious memory without question or discernment. Lipton explains how these


subconscious downloads work by comparing them to an iPod. When you get a new iPod, there are no recordings – so you can’t play anything. Once you download songs to memory, you can play the downloaded songs. In fact, they are the only songs you can play. There are plenty of other choices for songs, but you can’t play them on your iPod until you download them. Similarly, whatever has been downloaded into our subconscious memory and stored in our cells is the only choice available to be heard and seen in the body. Other choices are not possible until they are downloaded as beliefs and perception into the subconscious. Thus, we automatically act out our parents’ beliefs, unless we are exposed to other beliefs or intentionally seed new beliefs. Lipton points out that the biggest


problem is that people don’t believe they can change their minds and beliefs very easily. He suggests that if we teach our children in their first six years that they can change their minds and thus their bodies, an empowering shift to love and vitality can become easy. Not only does cellular biology have


something to tell us about love in our bodies, it also is very revealing about the nature of human connection, says Lipton. It’s called ‘biomimicry’ and is a new discipline in biology that uses Nature’s best ideas to solve problems. Animals, plants and microbes have found what works, and we can learn from them. They demonstrate ways of functioning that have endured over 3.8 billion years of existence. In Lipton’s book, Spontaneous


Evolution, he and co-author Bhaerman suggest cells are smarter than we are when it comes to creating successful communities. They elucidate how cells organize themselves to have a monetary system that pays other cells

according to the importance of the work they do and stores excess profits in community banks. They have a research and development system that creates technology and biochemical equivalents of expansive computer networks. Sophisticated environmental systems provide air and water purification treatment that is more technologically advanced than humans have ever imagined. The same is true for heating and cooling systems. The communication system within and amongst cells is an internet that sends zip-coded messages directly to individual cells. They even have a criminal justice system that detains, imprisons, rehabilitates, and in a Kevorkian way, assists with the suicide of destructive cells. Unlike us, cells have


the next stage of human evolution will be marked by awareness that we are all interdependent cells within the super- organism called humanity.” First, however, we must work in our


own back yard urges Lipton, “We must change the evolution of our individual selves so the collective consciousness can progress.” He exhorts us to get our lives back by rewriting our perceptions so we can create that head-over-heels in love state-of-mind again and again and again. He encourages us to download new beliefs of empowerment and love into cellular memory, so our cells have new lovely tunes to play with lyrics that affirm our lovability. Lipton calls the quest to continuously


feel ‘in love’, “The science of creating heaven on earth.” And science has spoken about such things, writes Lipton. For example, HeartMath researchers have found the impact of love itself is real and biochemically measurable, “When subjects focus their attention on the heart and activate a core heart feeling, such as love, appreciation, or caring, these emotions immediately shift their heartbeat rhythms into a more coherent pattern. Increasing heartbeat coherence activates a cascade of neural and biochemical events that affect virtually every organ in the body. Studies demonstrate that heart coherence leads to more intelligence by reducing the activity of the sympathetic nervous system—our fight-or-flight mechanism—while simultaneously increasing the growth-promoting


organized full healthcare coverage that makes sure each cell gets what it needs to stay healthy, and an immune system that protects the cells and the body like a dedicated national guard. Lipton makes an intriguing analogy


between how 50 trillion cells in the human body work together for the success of the individual is similar to how 7 billion human beings could work together for the success of the planet. He points out we haven’t been doing nearly as good a job as cells. Lipton emphasizes that our individual


mind like an individual cell has far less awareness than the consciousness of the whole group. When a cell fulfills its evolution, it assembles into colonies with other evolved cells to share and expand the capability of consciousness. There’s a ‘no cell left behind’ attitude and the economic appropriation of resources to support the whole. Lipton says we would do well as a collective to evolve to such a high level of consciousness as our cells. He writes, “Science suggests that


activity of the parasympathetic nervous system.” As a result, stress hormones are reduced and the anti- ageing hormone DHEA is produced. Love actually does make us healthier, happier, and longer-living. It turns out molecular biology and


love actually is a match made in heaven. Dr. Bruce Lipton challenges us to study and understand how to experience that heaven on earth continuously, with dancing proteins on our cells that swoon and sway with love.
