I think most people at one time believed this without the scientific evidence to back it up. But as we became for of a “victim” society (nothing is really our fault) we drifted away from this belief. It’s good to have some evidence to bring us back to what many of us believed all along.

A lot of what controls our behavior goes on at a sub-conscious level. This article is a good example of how we can influence our subconscious minds – although the results are not always predictable.

As a long time athlete I know the power of the mind in using our beliefs to influence outcomes. Many pro-athletes use the power of visualization to see themselves accomplishing their goal.

Hi Ryan

Every once and awhile, something like your post will cause me to break out of my traditional thinking and follow a better path to better thinking, better health, and better living.

But then I fall back into my old habits which take over and I get back on the carousel I’ve built for myself.

Hopefully this time around I can maintain a commitment and focus to being more of student of what you have presented here

Hey Ryan,
I have been listening to this audio in my car the last few days and have found these ideas to be very empowering, basically a scientific validation that we are not victims of circumstances/genes. It has made me alot more conscious of what I am thinking/reacting to when you know that the energy you are sending out really does make a difference. I look forward to checking out the videos too.

Hi Ryan,

I recently found your blog and have enjoyed reading your articles- keep up the great work! One comment on this statement-

“Basically, a cell will monitor its environment for changes and, based on it’s perception of the environment (it’s beliefs), the cell will modify it’s genetics to have the best chance at surviving.”

I think it would be more accurate to say that the “cell will modify its gene expression to have the best chance at surviving.” Our actual genes/ DNA is fixed upon our conception, this is what gave us the general idea that many of our traits are unalterable. However, every single cell in our body possesses the same set of genes, and obviously our DNA is ‘expressed’ in radically different ways in the development of our different cells/tissues/organs. In the same way, our exernal and internal environments affect the expression of our genes in our day to day living. This differential expression can even be heritable and passed down to succeeding generations- in learning about Lipton I read about a fascinating study of this with rats (let me know if you have not seen it.)
