An Amazing Interview
This is an absolutely amazing interview. Bruce is a scientist that has a number of great insights. When I saw this (Sep 2013) I was amazed. It was like “YES!, he’s got it, that makes so much sense and fits with so many other things I’ve been reading!”. Here are number of things I took away from this interview.
Genes do not control our destiny
- 40 yrs ago Bruce was involved in stem cell research. He knew then that environment changed the outcome of stem cells. The same stem cells could become a large variety of different tissues just by changing the environment they were in.
- He published this but was basically on his own
- Had had violated the “central dogma” that the flow of information is from DNA to RNA to protein
- This is still being taught to medical student today, but it is totally false!
- The outcome of this central dogma is that genes control our life – that’s totally false!
Modern medicine does not acknowledge new facts coming from quantum physics
- There are two types of physics – Quantum physics and Newtonian physics – for explaining the work
- Newtonian physics treats the world as a simple machine to be understood – medicine uses this
- Quantum physics realised (a hundred years ago) that invisible fields are very important (for example, magnetic fields)
- So we realise that we have bodies immersed in fields
- Newtonian physics leads to a focus on particles
- Quantum physics means that the fields must be understood to understand the body
- Einstein made a quote like – “the field is the sole governing agency of matter”
- These invisible fields give matter it’s shape
- A good example is the experiment we did at school with iron filings in a magnetic field
- The body is like iron filings. Need to understand the field to understand its shape.
- Quantum physicists about a hundred years ago talked about “the matrix”. An energy field. Some people equate this to God and spirit.
Placebo and nocebo
- Everyone knows about the placebo effect where positive thoughts can directly improve your health
- There is also an opposite effect called nocebo where negative thoughts can directly make your health suffer
- It’s true that thoughts can change our health
- Negative thoughts can kill
- 70% of our thoughts are negative.
Curing ourselves with our minds does not sell
- Medicine today is controlled by money and the need to sell drugs
- As a result, placebo and nocebo relatively ignored in medical school
The conscious and subconscious minds
- Having a positive thought does not mean they’ll manifest
- Forces form a field that shape biology
- There are two parts to mind – conscious and subconscious
- Conscious is creative and leads to the notion of our true selves
- Subconscious is a tape player but a million times more powerful
- Subconscious runs our biology about 95% of the time
- Subconscious is not good or bad, it’s a tape player – it’s the programs it has that can be the problem
- Positive thinking comes from the conscious mind (tiny processor) – subconscious programs could work in opposite direction
- 95% of the time the subconscious is running the show
- Conscious can run any aspect of my biology, but it’s a small processor
- When the conscious is daydreaming the subconscious is running the show
- The conscious is not paying attention and does not see the programs the subconscious is running
- We do not see the subconscious when it plays
- We got the programs from other people during our development
- The subconscious programs can sabotage our good intentions and we feel like a victim to outside forces
- Can’t talk and reason with the subconscious – it’s a tape player – need to find how to record new programs
The subconscious mind is populated with programs in our early years of life
- Child doesn’t express dominant alpha waves until after 6 years before that they have theta waves like in a trance
- During the early years we just download experiences from other people, but we keep them for rest of lives – other peoples behaviours
- One example
- Up to 6 yrs we were told we had to go to the doctor to get healed
- This installed a program in our subconscious
- It’s a fact that many people get well on the way to doctor
- That’s because the program says we must go to the doctor before healing can start
- Even though we always had the capacity to heal ourselves
- We are profoundly powerful people
- Our frail image is a belief
Genes are not destiny – our limiting factor is our mind
- Field and thoughts are as important as anything
- Genes are nothing
- Genes are a blueprint
- They are a pattern only
- Genes don’t decide to do anything
- The mind reads the genes
- Epigenetic mechanisms in the mind can generate over 30,000 different outcomes from the same genes
- The mind can determine the outcome
- The mind is the limiting factor not the genes.
