BL: Now let’s relate this back to our human story.
We’re made up of 50 trillion cells. You, me, we are skin-covered Petri dishes. It’s not a plastic dish, it’s a skin dish, inside which you’ve got 50 trillion cells! You have the original culture medium. Here’s the point: Does it make a difference in the fate of the cell if it’s in the plastic petri dish, or in the skin covered dish? The fate of the cells is controlled by the environment, whether it’s in the plastic dish or the skin covered dish. Your genetic activity is not controlled by genes turning on and off, it’s controlled by the chemistry of the blood, which is the culture medium, just the same as it is in the culture dish.
So, now we take the big blow away steps that changed my life. The chemistry of the blood controls the genetics of the cell.
So, who’s the chemist? Who controls the chemistry of the blood? The answer is: The brain is the chemist! Next question: What chemicals should the brain put into the blood? The answer: Whatever image is in your mind will be translated by the brain into complimentary chemistry.
There’s a chemistry of love; if you’re experiencing love in your life, you release dopamine for pleasure, vasopressin makes you more attractive so your partner stays with you, oxytocin bonds you to your lover, and growth hormone is released when you’re in love. So, the blood has all these things that happened just from my picture of love, and the chemistry is going through. Growth hormone promotes vitality and growth, so when people fall in love they’re so healthy – it’s chemistry, the chemistry of love.
