The Science of Spirit. Part 11

by

By: Seeker
Another biologist who has moved out of centre field biology is Bruce Lipton http://brucelipton.com/ who has also found the standard physical models don’t explain what he found in his work. Lipton noticed that stem cells will change what they become based on the environment. He went looking further and found most people have an incorrect view of how cells function.

Ask the average person and even many scientists just what part of a cell controls what a cell does and they will respond with DNA – we have been educated into thinking that DNA is the brains and the purpose of cells. But in biology they know different – DNA is a blueprint, fantastically complex and not at all well understood, even though the Human Genome project (and a number of others) is complete.
DNA sits in the cell, like a blueprint sits on a desk. Blueprints don’t build anything and neither does DNA. Cells actually function because of the membrane. What happens is a signal is received at the membrane which triggers a cell reaction which (usually) then causes a DNA readout to produce a protein. The protein then does the work required by the signal.

Signals are usually chemical – molecules with a specific shape for which there is a receptor on the surface of the membrane. But solid standard science also tells us signals can be fields as well. There are documented effects in cells caused by electrical and magnetic fields as well as radiation.

Sp what Bruce Lipton found is that cells, far from being autonomous units that collaborate as a society, are actually response units, triggered into activity from the environment in which they are located.
