Genetic Determinism

Genetic determinism is a perception that is so prevalent in our lives, beginning with indoctrinating our children early on in their education. From grade school to the highest levels of education, this message, that we are controlled by our genes, is constantly repeated. As a result of this dogma, we surrender ourselves to being at effect to all types of disabilities and hardships.

Victim Consciousness

Since we are taught that our inherited gene codes determine our abilities and infirmities, we fall victim to our heredity. This breeds the fear that we will at some point be victimized by our genes, and fall prey to many physical and mental diseases. To many it’s only a matter of time before some sort of tragedy strikes.

To put it bluntly, this is utter nonsense. Many parents blame their child’s defiant behavior on “chemical imbalances” in the child’s brain, and then we are off to the so called “magic” of psychotropic medications. Child mental health can be maintained quite well by a proper understanding of the nature of the genetic codes.

Beyond Mainstream Scientific Dogma

According to mainstream science, we are unable to change the genetic codes we are handed at birth. Accepting this makes us powerlessness to alter our destiny or fate. So we then have no need to take any responsibility for our physical or mental health. Much human suffering and disease has resulted from buying into these concepts and perceptions.

The bottom line is that we are not victims of our genes. There have been tremendous advances in cell biology and physics that put much of this conventional dogma to rest. Check out the Epigenetics page under the “Transform” link of this website for some additional information along these lines.

Our perception of the environment is what directly controls the activity of our genes, and as a result our behavior. Our biology is controlled by our beliefs, which may be accurate or downright silly and false.

With these new advances in biology and physics, genetic determinism is a thing of the past. Once we educate ourselves properly as to the psychology of personal change, we are able to free ourselves from these outdated limitations, and consciously create a life of empowerment and freedom. We tap into our unlimited potential that we hear so much about, and are no longer victims of our genes, but masters of our destiny. Click here for the Transforming Child Behavior Home Page.
