IS seeing believing?

Not according to Dr Bruce H Lipton.  He feels that we can reshape our very genes by altering our beliefs.

I have written about this a lot and you can read all about here, Our Reality Model.  Our beliefs filter what data we take in, such as the tale that the indians couldn’t see Columbus’s boats when he hove into the Americas as they had no concept of anything like these ships.  (I doubt that anyone knows if this is true but it illustrates the point well.)  We don’t see or at least don’t assimilate data that we can’t process or understand the value of. 

Changing beliefs is a complex and (usually) long term proposition, but it begins by at least allowing that there might be another way we can interpret the data we have.  Are these men terrorists or freedom fighters; maniacs or heroes?  It probably depends on whether we are homeless Muslims or American marines. 

Recognising the power of the filters that govern how we experience our word is key to changing our lives.  Are we surrounded by riches and good people or is the World a scary place where everyone is out to harm us?  Of course a lot will depend on our direct experiences, but there is a wealth of evidence for both views, we have to choose what weight we give it.  Every time I turn on Radio 4 on a Sunday and hear tales of strangers saying “Thank you” to other total strangers who changed their lives I well up at the goodness that is out there. 

What does your future hold… well it is probably largely based on what you believe and if you don’t like the way it looks it might be time for a change.
