Our Magnificent, Intelligent Cells

This week I have been leading a ‘Wisdom School Retreat’ in the Temple at New Lands for members of the Lodge. It began on Easter Day with our Festival Service. During my address I quoted from a fascinating article Lyn Edwards (co-leader of our work in Australasia) in our current April/May edition of Stella Polaris,  entitled ‘Our Magnificent Intelligent Cells’. She tells of the research a professor of biology, Bruce Lipton, has done about how the cells of our bodies work. Lyn wrote:  Through experimentation he has proven that the DNA within the cell is not the brain of the cell, as was previously thought. This means that DNA does not predetermine how we are going to think, act or feel.  So we are not predisposed to be of a certain disposition.  So what is the brain of our individual cells?  Again, through experimentation, Lipton has found that the membrane surrounding the cell, or the skin of the cell, holds the intelligence.  The skin of the cell is porous and allows information to flow into and out of the cell.  If you take the DNA out of the cell, the cell will still move towards the source of nutrition and away from perceived danger.  If you take the membrane away from the cell, the cell has no ability to process the information of nutrition or danger and consequently dies.  What this proves is that the cell receives information from outside itself and responds to the information.  Our thoughts, feelings, and emotions are vibrations, and these vibrations are the information the cell reads and consequently these affect the wellbeing of the cells of our bodies.  These vibrations either create a harmonious environment for our cells in which they can grow and flourish or they create a toxic environment, in which the cells struggle, and eventually disease (dis-ease) is created in the body.’

This links amazingly with what White Eagle has been teaching for many years.  Our thoughts affect our bodies, minds and emotions in so many ways, and if we can learn to control our thoughts and think positively, this will eventually have a profound effect on our overall wellbeing and physical health. We also read White Eagle’s words in The Light Bringer:  ‘Within you lies the power to change the very atoms of your body, for the physical atoms are the spiritual atoms. These tiny sparks of light are the power behind all visible form. These atoms can be changed by the command of God. The whole of life is under the direction and command of the Great White Light.  Healing is the intake into the body of the eternal sun, the light.  If you can call upon this light, breathe it in, if you can live consciously in this light, it will actually control the cells of the physical body.  The body is so heavy, material life is so strong—but do not forget the power of God to recreate the living cells of your body.’

We ended our meditations on our last day of retreat with re-affirming Jesus’ words about love and working at re-programming our minds and every cell of our bodies with love.  We affirmed: 

I AM (THE CHRIST IN ME) DIVINE LOVE. 

I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE.

I hope this will be helpful for you too.
