Dr. Bruce Lipton Interview: Beyond Darwin: Epigenetics, Consciousness & Humanity's Future

How come we're living so out of harmony? First question, answer is this.

We have been programmed.

Program, I go, yeah, the brain is a computer.

the most powerful computer, but it is a computer and it has the same function.

I said, well, what's that? I said, if you buy a new computer, you can't use it until you put programs in it.

So the first seven years of life, nature designed the brain of a child to be in hypnosis to understand how to be a member of a family, how to be a member of a community, but nothing more than observing a behavior and downloading that behavior.

And that becomes part of the subconscious.

And then, as biology of belief reveals, the conscious mind, that part, is our creative part with wishes and desires.

But the subconscious mind has got programs.

That's all it is, hard drive, programs, okay? Now, the idea about, and this needs to be understood before we take the real next step, and that is this.

the mind controls your life experiences.

When you're in the conscious mind, that's the creative mind.

That's the one that manifests wishes and desires in your life.

But the conscious mind could be looking out your eyes like, imagine you're by a vehicle and the eyes are looking out the windshield and the conscious mind is driving you toward wishes and desires, okay? But here comes the big issue in today's world, and if you get this, the whole nut is right here.

I said, where is it? The conscious mind can do two things.

It can look out, but it can think.

I go, what? I go, ah, thinking is looking in.

I said, what's the point? When you are thinking, you are not paying attention to to the outside world while you are thinking.

Right.

You go internal.

Your mind's internal thinking of what I'm going to do, blah, blah, blah.

And I go, yeah, but what if you're driving a car? I go, ah, well, guess what? You were thinking when I get to the store, I'm going to do X, Y, Z.

And then I say, while you're thinking, you're not looking out the window of your car.

I said, well, but the car's going great.

I go, point.
