The New Mind-Body Science Goes International

Bruce H Lipton's The Biology of Belief has recently acquired wings!  Three international versions are now carrying the book's life-affirming message to audiences around the world. The German translation, Intelligente Zellen: Wie Erfahrungen unsere Gene steuern (Koha), the French adaptation, Biologie des Croyances: Comment affranchir la puissance de la conscience, de la matière (Ariane Éditions, inc), and the Italian version, laBiologia delle Credenze: Come il pensiero influenza il DNA e ogni cellula (Macro Edizioni) have just been released.

In each country, the publishers are encouraging the sale of the book through the release of articles and interviews in local media.  While most of the information offered is concerned with the scientific principles of the 'new' biology, some articles focused upon the mind-body or spiritual aspects of the evolving science. As an example of the latter, a brief excerpt from an interview with a spirituality-based German publication is provided below.

Do you think that enlightenment is something that can be intentionally "exercised" and can it have an influence our genes?

In the early 1600's, Rene Descartes established the concept of a mind-body. Newtonian physics subsequently emphasized that the Universe was "machine" made out of matter.  Newtonian philosophy separated the action of the mind from the function of the body by acknowledging that an etheric, non-material force such as the "mind" could not influence the physical body, a "machine" made out of matter. Biomedical research scientists invoking the principles of Newtonian physics were subsequently forced to dismiss the influence of mind on health and life.

Nearly a hundred years ago, the Newtonian perspective on the nature of the Universe was dramatically revised with the adoption of quantum mechanics.  Quantum physics revealed that the atom was not made out of matter, but in fact was comprised of immaterial energy vortices.  It was also established that "field," the invisible matrix in which all matter is suspended, was a hotbed of interacting invisible forces much of which consists of electromagnetic vibrations. Since matter and the field are both comprised of immaterial forces, quantum mechanics recognizes that matter is inextricably entangled with the surrounding field.
