Cellular biologist and author Dr. Bruce H. Lipton is a master teacher who is excited about his discoveries in the area of biology and belief. He has a way of teaching that not only increases your knowledge of biology; it explains why we can control our health with our thoughts. Can Doctors stay well by thinking thoughts of health? What is really happening when a miracle occurs?

This CD set addresses the areas of:

Cellular Biology
Natural theology and Natural Science
Genetic Determinism
The Human Genome Project
What Controls Cells?
Cell Membranes
Newtonian Physics
Good and Bad Vibes
Invisible Energy Universe
Magnetic Fields
The Secret of Life
The Root Cause of Disease
Polar and Non-Polar Molecules
The Role of Receptor and Effector Proteins
The Function of Genes
The Dangers of Genetic Engineering
Stress and The Immune System
Learning and Brain States
Miracles
Placebo Effect
Beliefs and Biology

How our Subconscious Controls our Lives - can this be changed or is it more like a tape player. Can repetition reprogram the mind and how does this relate to mindfulness?

Fractal Geometry
Hereditary Traits

Evolution beyond survival - instead it is driven by consciousness and cooperation

Dr. Bruce h. Lipton's teachings explain why people seem more radiant when in love or why spontaneous healing can occur. The section on energy explains why healing can occur with the spiritual idea of "laying on of hands - energy transfer" or through "prayer - thoughts can also be a form of energy medicine."

His creative explanation of the cell wall brings a new understanding to how our cells function. He explores the similarities between computer chips and cells and explains why our thoughts may control our destiny more than our genes. The section on pregnancy is very interesting in regards to the chemicals of emotion and how stress hormones affect the baby. An interesting section on evolution in regards to evolving consciousness takes the topics full circle and explores the understanding of cells in regards to where we are headed next. This is all fascinating information for consideration and I haven't heard many people discussing life from this angle.

This 8-CD Set is a fascinating journey into Biology and Belief. This explains how our cells actually work and why we are not at the mercy of our own DNA. I listened to each CD numerous times (especially Disc 4) before moving on to the next CD. You can then listen to the entire set again for even more insight into this subject. Each time I listen to this set new information seems to appear and I understand this subject on a higher level.

Highly Recommended!

~The Rebecca Review

This series by Dr. Bruce Lipton shaked me to the core. I've read "The Biology of Belief" (also by Lipton) and was left thirsting for more. His simple yet concise approach to this heavy topic matter is utterly amazing. If you pay attention, digest the content and have an open mind...this course Will change your world view. The series is long (over 8 hours) and fills in many gaps left from The Biology of Belief.
If you're a fan of Quantum Mechanics, Biology or you're enticed by your spiritual side (Buddhism in particular), then you will not be disappointed.
FIVE BIG STARS!

The more science looks into how the world really works the more we find that we really don't understand. Dr. Lipton is one of the pioneers in the field of epigenetics, the study of heritable changes in gene function that occur without a change in the DNA sequence. This completely alters the way we hve been taught that genetics works.

In this 8-hour recording he gives a layman's introduction to the subject. It is a revolutionary vision of life science that illuminates the hidden connections between (according to Dr. Lipton) biology, psychology and spirituality. Even at the cellular level, Dr. Lipton explains, we possess an innate intelligence that is far more critical to shaping our lives than even our genes.

For decades, our view of heredity has been written in the language of DNA -- and genetic mutations and recombinations have driven most descriptions of how phenotypic traits are handed down from one generation to another. Epigenetic research has blurred that neat picture, and are changing the way researchers think about heredity.

I thought the author presented the science pretty well... Stem cells/DNA are programmed externally via the membrane, non-random evolution suggesting deliberate genetic mutations, EEGs that pick-up brain signals outside of the body , the placebo pill effect, etc.

In short, he makes good arguments how environmental factors, both at the cellular level and by extension on the body as a whole, can indeed be responsible for one's present condition.

Where I felt cheated, was the ending. It seems the whole book is leading to the climax that will explain what exactly one can do armed with this information. Unfortunately, it comes up short. Basically, he says positive affirmation and/or willpower aren't effective since they involve the conscious mind.. instead what is needed is to reprogram the unconscious. How do you do that? The book doesn't have any specifics.

"I am listening to the CDs you sent me... they are fantastic... totally changing my understanding of life itself !

Thank you SOOO MUCH !"

That's the note I received from my son, a pretty brilliant guy himself, after sending him Bruce Lipton's The Wisdom of Your Cells CDs. My husband, a professor at UCLA, and I just sat enthralled by what we were hearing. We'd already read the book and I had also ordered all the DVDs available by Lipton. Listening to the CDs are totally expanding my consciousness. They wonderfully complement my other studies of quantum physics, consciousness, and health.

The information is enlightening and exciting. This is no small potatoes stuff. This is information people need to have. No matter who you are, you will get a lot from these CDs.

First off- this is a great complement to all those books out there talking about the law of attraction. lipton actually gets into the science behind it (though not to complete satisfaction), not just the feel-good rhetoric. He explains how genes are just blueprints and that cells utilize the proteins the accompany the genes to react to stimulus (like chemicals or "vibes". The connection between electromagnetic vibes and cell reaction is not well-defined and leaves questions as is the connection between Quantum Physics and human-sized physics. the quantum level is so different than our everyday level that he's leaving out a big missing link of how Quantum Physics applies to the everyday. Einstein worked the last half of his life trying to merge the two, but couldn't, so it's no surprise that Lipton didn't do it. i just wish Lipton wouldn't have simply implied the connection and left it at that. but he implies a lot of connections, some of which should be carrefully scrutinized such as the dinosaur/human connection. i thought that was an awful way to end the work because it was so far-fetched and almost laughable (dinosaurs were machines because people have labeled them "killing machines" and corporations are like dinosaurs cause they live on the oil that was dinosaurs- see the connection? Come on). Still, Lipton brings up some interesting points about perception and how we are shaping our own lives. Nature Via Nurture gets into this more too.

And so are my cells. I found his insights absolute fascinating, but this is not an easy listen. You really have to pay attention and review a lot. Dr. Lipton gives us in depth information, some of which was totally over my head, but I still learned from him. These CDs are so opposite of what we have believed for long that I am still assimilating the information. Once again, if you can listen long enough you will arrive at some amazing insights into how your beliefs affect your body!

These are a fantastic series of lectures as others have elaborated on. However the audio download from Audible.com does not offer any Table of Contents for the numerous sections. It is a single 8 hour track with only an indication of what Chapter you are in. No Chapter names, no section names. This is pretty useless for the reader who wants to know what subject is being handled and how to return to that subject later on. They were kind enough to refund my money when I complained about this and I ordered the actual CD's afterwards.

He goes way beyond the teachings that he covers in Biology of Belief. This was great to listen to on a long car ride.

I love this series! Bruce Lipton discusses challenging topics with a passion that inspires my ears and mind. The chapters are well segmented too, and there are practical examples woven in.

Yey for teaching that soaks in.
Yey for updated health notions propagated by well-respected, western-trained experts.
Yey for holistic perspectives that allow us to be human, natural and in awe of existence.
Yey for passionate nerdiness.
