PONDER on THIS for Friday, April 30th, 2010 by DAWSON CHURCH in THE GENIE IN YOUR GENES
"Biochemically speaking, your body cannot tell the difference between the injection of chemicals that is triggered by an objective threat - the tribesman running at you with a spear - and a subjective threat - your resentment toward management. The biochemical and genetic effects, as far as your body is concerned, are the same. Your body can't tell that one experience is a physical reality, and the other is a reply of an abstract mental idea. Both are creating a chemical environment around your cells that is full of signals to your genes, several classes of which activate the proteins associated with stress. A researcher observes: "Our body doesn't make a moral judgment about our feelings; it just responds accordingly."
The understanding that much of our genetic activity is affected by factors outside the cell is a radical reversal of the dogma of genetic determinism, which held for half a century that who we are and what we do is governed by our genes. Research is illuminating a new biology in which consciousness plays a primary role."
