Change: your mind, your energy, your body, your life

“We are stardust, we are golden, we are billion year old carbon”-Joni Mitchell

In a very real sense there is nobody on earth who is more than 15 years old. To be more precise there is NO BODY on earth that is more than 15 years old even though every single “thing” we are has existed since the creation of the universe.
The carbon atoms that we base our bodies on are just passing through us on their long journey from their formation in the heart of a supernova to their end at the heat-death of the universe. We’re just borrowing them for a microscopically brief time.

We are what we eat.

We are literally made of what we eat, drink and breathe. The cells of our bodies continually exchanged with the world around us and eventually with the universe as a whole. Some cells, like those in our digestive system, may only live 4 or 5 days while your skin may be 2 or 3 weeks old. There is not a drop of your blood older than 4 months and your liver is less than a year. Your bones top out the list at 10 to 15 years, and even though our neurons do not replicate at the cellular level, they do exchange on the atomic scale and are probably younger than our bones. So, why are scars permanent? Why do we grow old, grow sick and die?
Three years ago I had an operation that left a large scar. I know that there is not a single molecule of that original scar tissue left, yet the scar is still there, why? The answer is consciousness and memory. Every single cell in our body is a self-contained organism with its own, albeit, rudimentary, energy, consciousness and memory. While a cell in the undisturbed skin right next to the scar has identical DNA, the cell contained within the scar “knows” to reproduce a scar cell. More than that, since skin sloughs off from above and reproduces from basal cells in a deeper layer of the skin, that scar cell must communicate the information to another cell below it, telling it that it must reproduce as scar tissue.

“Where the mind goes”

Memory, communication, consciousness and energy—to me that equals “mind” and since “where the mind goes, the energy flows” to me that equals scar tissue, cancer cells, tumors or healthy vibrant cells.
Just believe you’re getting healthier and you will. It’s a concept so utterly simple that, of course, our conscious, rational minds make it damn near impossible. The universe may live in the quantum light of Einstein and Hawking, but we (our physical bodies) mostly live our lives in the universe of Sir Isaac Newton. If you fall down you go boom, if you cut yourself you get a scar, and if something doesn’t kill you first, you grow old and die anyway. For a way around some of this, at least a way to optimize our health and energy balance beyond what can be delivered by scalpel and pill, the west must look east.
As I mentioned in one of my first postings, it has been shown that you can “think” away a wart. Our mental energy can compel a wart cell to reproduce as a healthy skin cell even though a wart cell has a virus actively “telling” it to reproduce as a wart cell, so why not other “bad” cell structures?
It might not be easy, but the humble wart shows us that the greater energies of our unconscious mind can and do influence the individual consciousness and energies of our component cells. This concept has been suspected and believed in eastern cultures since there have been eastern cultures, but even there, only rarely is it actualized. So, for us not raised with it, it may take a bit of practice.
We are basically figments of our own imagination. If we can change our minds we can change our energy. If we can change our energy we can change our bodies and change our lives.
