Bruce H. Lipton Quotes & Sayings

Humans are more dependent on learning for survival than other species,We have no instincts that automatically find us food and shelter ! — Bruce H. Lipton

Biological behavior can be controlled by invisible forces, including thought, as well as it can be controlled by physical molecules like penicillin, a fact that provides the scientific underpinning for pharmaceutical-free energy medicine. — Bruce H. Lipton

[E]very person perceives the world differently. So essentially, there are six billion human versions of reality on this planet, each perceiving its own truth. — Bruce H. Lipton

Human beings are not meant to live alone. There is a fundamental biological imperative that propels you and every organism on this planet to be in a community, to be in relationship with other organisms. — Bruce H. Lipton

In Molecules of Emotion, Pert revealed how her study of information-processing receptors on nerve cell membranes led her to discover that the same "neural" receptors were present on most, if not all, of the body's cells. Her elegant experiments established that the "mind" was not focused in the head but was distributed via signal molecules to the whole body. As importantly, her work emphasized that emotions were not only derived through a feedback of the body's environmental information. Through self-consciousness, the mind can use the brain to generate "molecules of emotion" and override the system. While proper use of consciousness can bring health to an ailing body, inappropriate unconscious control of emotions can easily make a healthy body diseased, — Bruce H. Lipton

The science of epigenetics has also made it clear that there are two mechanisms by which organisms pass on hereditary information. Those two mechanisms provide a way for scientists to study both the contribution of nature (genes) and the contribution of nurture (epigenetic mechanisms) in human behavior. If you only focus on the blueprints, as scientists have been doing for decades, the influence of the environment is impossible to fathom. (Dennis 2003; Chakravarti and Little 2003) — Bruce H. Lipton

school you may have learned the basic components of a cell: the nucleus that contains genetic material, the energy-producing mitochondria, the protective membrane at the outside rim, and the cytoplasm in between. — Bruce H. Lipton

As soon as you start to tell yourself in your perception that you can't do something anymore, then your biological system will adjust to prove you right. You will not do what you think you can't do. — Bruce H. Lipton

E-Motion will have a very positive impact on the evolution of human consciousness — Bruce H. Lipton

Just like a single cell, the character of our lives is determined not by our genes but by our responses to the environmental signals that — Bruce H. Lipton

We need to move beyond Darwinian Theory, which stresses the importance of individuals, to one that stresses the importance of the community. British scientist Timothy Lenton provides evidence that evolution is more dependent on the interaction among species than it is on the interaction of individuals within a species. Evolution becomes a matter of the survival of the fittest groups rather than the survival of the fittest individuals. In a 1998 article in Nature, Lenton wrote that rather than focusing on individuals and their role in evolution "we must consider the totality of organisms and their material environment to fully understand which traits come to persist and dominate." (Lenton — Bruce H. Lipton

The human being is a skin-covered petrie dish. — Bruce H. Lipton

Signal transduction science recognizes that the fate and behavior of an organism is directly linked to its perception of the environment. — Bruce H. Lipton

Recently, results of the Human Genome Project have shattered one of Science's fundamental core beliefs, the concept of genetic determinism. We have been led to believe that our genes determine the character of our lives, yet new research surprisingly reveals that it is the character of our lives that controls our genes. Rather than being victims of our heredity, we are actually masters of our genome. — Bruce H. Lipton

The character of our life is based upon how we perceive it. — Bruce H. Lipton

However, as pursuit of happiness morphed into pursuit of material, all of the promises became compromised. So what went wrong? How did this happen? — Bruce H. Lipton

We're now recognizing that the mind, which is an energetic field of thought which you can read with EEG wires on your brain or with a new process called magnetoencephalography (MEG), which reads the field without even touching the body. So it basically says that when you're processing with your brain, you're broadcasting fields. — Bruce H. Lipton

The overuse of prescription drugs provides a vacation from personal responsibility. — Bruce H. Lipton

It is far easier to be entertained by a reality TV than to participate in our own reality. — Bruce H. Lipton

Your children's genes reflect only their potential, not their destiny. It is up to you to provide the environment that allows them to develop to their highest potential. — Bruce H. Lipton

I knew I was going to be a cellular biologist whose research would focus on scrutinizing every nuance of the cell's ultrastructure to gain insights into the secrets of cellular life. — Bruce H. Lipton

So one way of looking at our trillion-celled bodies is that they are protein machines, although, as you know, I think we are more than machines! It sounds simple, but it isn't. For one thing, it takes over 100,000 different types of proteins to run our bodies. Let — Bruce H. Lipton

You may consider yourself an individual, but as a cell biologist, I can tell you that you are in truth a cooperative community of approximately fifty trillion single-celled citizens. — Bruce H. Lipton

We are today beginning to see work by very reputable scientists that says the universe is created by our observations. It is not a coincidence; we are actively involved in physically shaping the world that we experience. — Bruce H. Lipton

Suddenly I realized that a cell's life is controlled by the physical and energetic environment and not by its genes. Genes are simply molecular blueprints used in the construction of cells, tissues, and organs. The environment serves as a "contractor" who reads and engages those genetic blueprints and is ultimately responsible for the character of a cell's life. It is a single cell's "awareness" of the environment, not its genes, that sets into motion the mechanisms of life. — Bruce H. Lipton

Perfect hereditary molecule. Each DNA strand is normally intertwined with a
second — Bruce H. Lipton

Genetic evolutionists warn that if we fail to apply the lessons of our shared genetic destiny, which should be teaching us the importance of cooperation among all species, we threaten human existence. — Bruce H. Lipton

Physicists abandoned their belief in a Newtonian, material universe because they had come to realize that the universe is not made of matter suspended in empty space but energy. — Bruce H. Lipton

Life has everything in it. But you only see what your perception allow you to see — Bruce H. Lipton

When you find yourself on a vicious cycle, for goodness sakes, stop peddling! - Swami Beyondananda — Bruce H. Lipton

Atoms are made out of invisible energy, not tangible matter! So — Bruce H. Lipton

They had come to realize that the concept of matter is an illusion, for they now recognized that everything in the Universe is made out of energy. Quantum — Bruce H. Lipton

I am the master of my genes, not the victim of them. — Bruce H. Lipton

A miraculous healing awaits this planet once we accept our new responsibility to collectively tend the Garden, rather than fight over the turf. — Bruce H. Lipton

When you break up the individuals from a community into individual units, they become disempowered because it's the collective consciousness and the collective energy of the group from which power comes. The principal driving force that lies before us is that we have to recognize the nature of community as the evolutionary step that we just took a step backwards from in the last century. — Bruce H. Lipton

Most illness is just stress from not living in harmony — Bruce H. Lipton

The fact that science led me to spiritual insight is appropriate because the latest discoveries in physics and cell research are forging new links between the worlds of Science and Spirit. These realms were split apart in the days of Descartes centuries ago. However, I truly believe that only when Spirit and Science are reunited will we be afforded the means to a better world. — Bruce H. Lipton

Cells are not controlled by genes and neither are we. — Bruce H. Lipton

I learned again and again in my life, until you get your own act together, you're not ready for Big Love. What you're ready for is one of those codependent relationships where you desperately need a partner. — Bruce H. Lipton

Cells, tissues, and organs do not question information sent by the nervous system. Rather, they respond with equal fervor to accurate life-affirming perceptions and to self-destructive misperceptions. Consequently, the nature of our perceptions greatly influences the fate of our lives. — Bruce H. Lipton

Your own beliefs are selecting your genes, and if you don't have the right genes to handle the stress that your in, your belief will rewrite your genes in an effort to do so. — Bruce H. Lipton

At the atomic level, matter does not even exist with certainty; it only exists as a tendency to exist. — Bruce H. Lipton

Here is the amazing thing: the caterpillar and the butterfly have the exact same DNA. They are the same organism but are receiving and responding to a different organizing signal. — Bruce H. Lipton

Our beliefs control our bodies, our minds, and thus our lives ... — Bruce H. Lipton

Perhaps if more people realized that coupling in higher organisms is fundamentally about bonding, not only about the drive to reproduce, there would be less prejudice against homosexuality. In fact, homosexuality is natural and common in the animal kingdom. In a 2009 review of the scientific literature, University of California at Riverside biologists Nathan W. Bailey and Marlene Zuk, who advocate more study about the evolutionary impetus for homosexual behavior, state, The variety and ubiquity of same-sex sexual behavior in animals is impressive; many thousands of instances of same-sex courtship, pair bonding and copulation have been observed in a wide range of species, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, insects, mollusks, and nematodes. — Bruce H. Lipton

Each of our cells is a living entity, and the main thing that influences them is our blood. If I open my eyes in the morning and my beautiful partner is in front of me, my perception causes a release of oxytocin, dopamine, growth hormones - all of which encourage the growth and health of my cells. But if I see a saber tooth tiger, I'm going to release stress hormones which change the cells to a protection mode. People need to realize that their thoughts are more primary than their genes, because the environment, which is influenced by our thoughts, controls the genes. — Bruce H. Lipton

When we truly recognize that our beliefs are that powerful-we hold the key to freedom. — Bruce H. Lipton

I see that White Light will only return to the planet when every human being recognizes every other human being as an individualized frequency of the White Light. As long as we keep eliminating or devaluing other human beings we have decided we don't like, ie., destroying frequencies of the spectrum, we will not be able to experience the White Light. Our job is to protect and nurture each human frequency so that the White Light can return. — Bruce H. Lipton

Because we are not powerless biochemical machines, popping a pill every time we are mentally or physically out of tune is not the answer. Drugs and surgery are powerful tools when they are not overused, but the notion of simple drug fixes is fundamentally flawed. Every time a drug is introduced into the body to correct function A, it inevitably throws off function B, C, or D. It is not gene-directed hormones and neurotransmitters that control our bodies and our minds; our beliefs control our bodies, our minds, and thus our lives ... Oh ye of little belief! — Bruce H. Lipton

So here is the bad news and the good news. The story of human life on Earth is yet to be determined. If there is to be an Act V, it will depend on whether we humans are willing to make changes in our individual and collective beliefs and behaviors and whether we are able to make these changes in time. — Bruce H. Lipton

The 'secret of life' is BELIEF. Rather than genes, it is our beliefs that control our lives. PSYCH-K is a set of simple, self-empowering techniques to change your beliefs and perceptions that impact your life at a cellular level. — Bruce H. Lipton

If humans were to model the lifestyle displayed by healthy community of cells , our societies and our planet would be more peaceful and vital — Bruce H. Lipton

Single cells analyze thousands of stimuli from the microenvironment they inhabit. The more awareness an organism has of its environment, the better its chances for survival. When cells band together they increase their awareness exponentially. Division of labor among the cells in the community offers an additional survival advantage. The efficiency it enables more cells to live on less. Evolution is based on an instructive, cooperative interaction among organisms and their environment enables life forms to survive and evolve in a dynamic world. — Bruce H. Lipton

As a nation we should look more carefully at how our fear of future acts of terrorism is undermining our quality of life. — Bruce H. Lipton

A renaissance in cellular biology has recently revealed the molecular mechanisms by which thoughts and perceptions directly influence gene activity and cell behavior ... Energy psychology, through its ability to rapidly identify and reprogram limiting misconceptions, represents the most powerful and effective process to enhance physical and emotional well being. — Bruce H. Lipton

Human beings have a great capacity for sticking to false beliefs with great passion and tenacity, — Bruce H. Lipton

When two people become entangled, one person will conform to the energy of the other person. When one of them is a healer whose cells are vibrating at a higher level, the client's cells become entangled, and their energy is lifted. That's why that old saying, "physician heal thyself," is so important, even though most don't understand it: If the physician's energy is going to influence or, in scientific terms, "entrain" the patient's, the doctor's must be higher. — Bruce H. Lipton

Matter can simultaneously be defined as a solid (particle) and as an immaterial force field (wave). — Bruce H. Lipton

We are living in a world that is in the late stage of a Caterpillar. It is very important to let go of the old and start to gravitate to the new because we are leaving behind a world that is no longer sustainable and moving into a world in which we can thrive. — Bruce H. Lipton

We can control our lives by controling our perceptions. — Bruce H. Lipton

Geneticists experienced a comparable shock when, contrary to their expectations of over 120,000 genes, they found that the entire human genome consists of approximately 25,000 genes. (Pennisi 2003a and 2003b; Pearson 2003; Goodman 2003) More than eighty percent of the presumed and required DNA does not exist! The missing genes are proving to be more troublesome than the missing eighteen minutes of the Nixon tapes. The one-gene, one-protein concept was a fundamental tenet of genetic determinism. Now that the Human Genome Project has toppled the one-gene for one-protein concept, our current theories of how life works have to be scrapped. No longer is it possible to believe that genetic engineers can, with relative ease, fix all our biological dilemmas. There are simply not enough genes to account for the complexity of human life or of human disease. — Bruce H. Lipton

Our problems are not with the data, itself, but arise from our interpretation of the data. — Bruce H. Lipton

We are conscious co-creators in the evolution of life. We have free will. And we have choices. Consequently our success is based on our choices, which are, in turn, totally dependent on our awareness. — Bruce H. Lipton

The moment you change your perception is the moment you rewrite the chemistry of your body. — Bruce H. Lipton

I was exhilarated by the new realization that I could change the character of my life by changing my beliefs. I was instantly energized because I realized that there was a science-based path that would take me from my job as a perennial "victim" to my new position as "co-creator" of my destiny. (Prologue, xv) — Bruce H. Lipton

To fully thrive, we must not only eliminate the stressors but also actively seek joyful, loving, fulfilling lives that stimulate growth processes — Bruce H. Lipton

As many conventionally unhappy parents did in the 1950s, my parents stayed together for the sake of the children - they divorced after my youngest brother left home for college. I only wish they had known that modeling their dysfunctional relationship was far more damaging to their children than their separation would have been. — Bruce H. Lipton

Drugging out symptoms does not solve the problem, it helps us ignore it - until the vehicle breaks down. — Bruce H. Lipton

We are not victims of our genes, but masters of our fates, able to create lives overflowing with peace, happiness, and love. — Bruce H. Lipton

What quantum physics teaches us is that everything we thought was physical is not physical. — Bruce H. Lipton

If I brought you down to the size of an individual cell so that you could see your body from that perspective, it would offer a whole new view of the world. When you looked back at yourself from that perspective you would not see yourself as a single entity. You would see yourself as a bustling community of more than 50 trillion individual cells. — Bruce H. Lipton

Your perspective is always limited by how much you know. Expand your knowledge and you will transform your mind. — Bruce H. Lipton

Beliefs and thoughts alter cells in your body. — Bruce H. Lipton

No matter how you cut it, biological science is based to some degree on humanizing the subject matter. — Bruce H. Lipton

True scientists consider anthropomorphism to be something of a mortal sin and ostracize scientists who knowingly employ it in their work. — Bruce H. Lipton
