I recently finished reading The Biology of Belief: Unleashing The Power Of Consciousness, Matter And Miracles by Dr. Bruce H. Lipton. Dr. Lipton, a cell biologist, had an awakening while doing research in the Caribbean in 1985. Until 1985, cell research scientific dogma believed the health of the cell was largely determined by genetics. Through his research, Dr. Lipton discovered that genetics determines as little as 5% of the cell. It was the internal and external energetic nature of the cell (cell membrane) that was largely responsible for the overall health of the cell.
Dr. Lipton, realizing that an average human being has 50 trillion cells, concluded that from a physics perspective, the human being is not matter but energy. During this time, Dr. Lipton was leading a depressed and sub-par life. It was through his scientific understanding that he recognized the power of thoughts and their influence on the overall health of the 50 trillion cells within the human being.
Dr. Lipton went on to change his own thoughts, which changed his life. I really enjoyed this scientific perspective on the power of the mind and the influence thinking has on our lives. I highly recommend this book if you are interested in a more scientific understanding of the power you can harness through thinking the right way.

I read this book many times. I'm pleased you experienced it for yourself.
Kudos to Lipton and his research!
We facilitate change and nourish our health in the m-i-n-d.
So simple.
So profound.
So true.
Form is emptiness
Emptiness is form
Funny how long it takes for science to catch up.
Good to see your blog Johnny. I used to attend your classes. I have a hiatal hernia right now and am trying to figure out how to deal with it. So, sorry I haven't been there.
In the meantime I've done a few cleanses and lots of meditation. I've got a blog at:

Another really fascinating and very readable book about the brain is The Brain That Changes Itself, by Norman Doidge. It explains how our physical actions and thoughts actually create physical alterations in our brains.
