Epigenetics

Epigenetics in biology, and specifically genetics, is the study of inherited changes in appearance or gene expression caused by mechanisms other than changes in the DNA sequence. Instead, non-genetic factors cause the organism's genes to behave or express themselves differently. So essentially a cell’s life is controlled by the physical and energetic environment, and not by its genes.

This is quite profound, since we are not limited and helpless because of our genes. We have tendencies, but these do not necessarily have to manifest unless they are triggered by something in our environment. The genes are the blueprints, but it is our environment that engages those genetic blueprints.

This means that, like a single cell, the essence and character of our life is not determined by our DNA or genes as previously assumed, but by our very responses to the signals in our environment. This shows that our most cherished tenets of biology concerning genetic determinism are definitely flawed.

By acknowledging the energy-based environment all around us, we also realize that allopathic medicine is not the only kind of medicine that deserves merit. Many alternative approaches, including medical acupuncture, deserve serious consideration. Also it empowers us with the knowledge that how we choose to perceive things directly affects our health and the character of our life.

Beliefs

This is a science-based path that confirms us as being in charge of our life and destiny by changing the way we perceive, thereby changing our limiting beliefs. This is confirmed by signal transduction, which is the way biochemical pathways are used by cells to respond to the environmental signals. This branch of science confirms that an organism’s behavior has a direct link to its perception of its environment.

And epigenetics is about how environmental cues select, modify, and regulate gene activity. So the genes are being constantly reconfigured, based on our responses to our life experiences. So again, how we perceive things in our life determines our chemical makeup and biology.

Waking Up To These New Concepts

The big issue here is that the majority of scientists are aware of this aspect of science, but the majority of the general public are not. So essentially the majority of people are operating under false concepts about how life really works. 99% of the population still believe that they are victims of their genes.

The media misleads everyone by identifying stories about genes that control a whole mix of maladies from heart disease and cancer to schizophrenia. The result is that we run our lives based on false beliefs, and limit ourselves drastically. The first step is to understand scientifically how our cells respond to our perceptions and thoughts. We can then use this information to truly empower ourselves and others. Click here to return to the Transforming Child Behavior Home page.
