What we think – our thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs – create our body’s conditions, ranging from health to disease, since only 1% of dis-ease is due to genetic defects.
“What we think, we become.” Buddha
Dr. Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D explains how the way we our thoughts, whether they’re right or they’re wrong, are actually changing our biology. Epigenetics is saying, “What you are thinking is translated into chemistry, which will determine what you will become.”
Only 1% of disease is due to genetic defects. The remaining 99% is directly attributable to the environment and our nervous system’s perception of the environment. What it represents is this. The influences of our thoughts are translated into chemistry. This leads to inappropriate behavior and to what we call disease.
Right Thought
Reiki and Meditation are both wonderful tools to help you ‘Think Right’.
Bruce Lipton, a renowned biologist and author, believes that our thoughts have a profound impact on our lives. He suggests that what we think shapes our reality and determines our experiences. In his groundbreaking work, Lipton emphasizes the power of our beliefs in shaping our biology and overall well-being.
According to Lipton, our thoughts and beliefs influence the expression of our genes and control our cellular behavior. He asserts that positive thoughts and beliefs can promote health and vitality, while negative thoughts and beliefs can contribute to illness and dis-ease.
Lipton’s perspective aligns with the concept that our minds have the ability to influence our physical and emotional states. By cultivating positive and empowering thoughts, we can create a more fulfilling and prosperous life. Lipton encourages individuals to examine their beliefs and challenge any limiting thoughts that may be hindering their growth.
Ultimately, Lipton’s message underscores the importance of cultivating a positive mindset and nurturing empowering beliefs. By consciously choosing our thoughts, we have the ability to shape our reality and become the best versions of ourselves. As Lipton suggests, “What we think, we become.”
You bring up an interesting point about where we focus our attention and the impact it has on our lives. It’s fascinating how our thoughts can shape our reality. When we concentrate on growth, whether it’s personal development, relationships, or career goals, we really start to see those areas flourish.
You’ve touched on a profound truth about growth and focus. It’s amazing how our thoughts shape our reality. When you think about it, what we nurture in our minds can really snowball into our lives. It’s kind of like being gardeners in our own mental landscapes—every thought is a seed that can flourish or wither based on where we decide to put our attention.
You raise an interesting point about the principle of focusing on growth and the powerful connection between our thoughts and our reality. It makes me think about how often we underestimate the impact of our mindset. For instance, there’s a lot of discussion in psychology around the concept of a “growth mindset,” which suggests that embracing challenges and persisting through difficulties can lead to personal development. It ties closely with what you’ve mentioned about sowing and reaping.
It’s interesting that you bring up epigenetics, as it challenges some of the traditional views we have about genetics and mutations being purely random. The notion of having control over our genetic expressions is a powerful idea—it suggests that our choices, environment, and lifestyle can actively influence our biology.
Speaking of control and epigenetics, I found this piece on depression that really dives into how our environment and choices influence our mental health more than we might realize.

You’ve hit the nail on the head with that one! Epigenetics is like the unexpected plot twist in a novel we all thought we had figured out. It’s pretty wild to think that our daily choices—like deciding to binge-watch another season of that show instead of going for a jog—can actually tweak our gene expressions. Imagine all the “what-if” scenarios we could dive into over a cup of coffee!
