136. Scientific evidence

'We are what our perceptions are. As are our perceptions, so become our actions. As are our actions, so becomes our destiny.' This is not a quote from the Upanishad, but from 'The Biology of Belief ', a recent book by Dr Bruce Lipton* , a cellular biologist who has presented a new theory on how cells behave. We have all been taught that we behave the way our genes are designed. Dr Lipton* , after his research, says the opposite - our genes are designed the way we behave!

There have been many recorded incidents of the ability of intention and visualization actually resulting in the intention becoming physical reality itself! For example, people have cured their own fatal diseases like cancer or overcome tremendous physical handicaps by pushing their limits and going beyond what they thought was their capacity. These things have happened through the power of intention which transforms basic cellular memory. Our genes are designed the way we behave!

This ancient truth is now being proven with the support of modern scientific findings. It has been found that whatever we think deeply and continuously has a profound effect on us physically, mentally and spiritually.
