You may think that since you were born with certain genes, your health future is predetermined. After all, don’t they ask us those questions every time we see a new doctor or apply for any kind of health of life insurance? It’s as if your parent’s or sibling’s illness were a predictor of your own.
A new film, The Living Matrix, which premiered 9/30 at The Egyptian, assures us that this is far from the case. Dr. Bruce Lipton, a spokesperson in the film, tells us that, “There is nothing fixed in our biology.” In other words, we really do have some control over our own health future. The energetic “field” in which each of us lives, and the fields surrounding the various parts of our bodies, are at least as important as our genetic makeup in determining whether or not we stay healthy. Our cells constantly receive and send information in ways that can’t be shown on an x-ray machine.
Those familiar with affirmations have long been aware that we have some control over the way our lives unfold. Shakti Gawain’s classic Creative Visualization (1982) and even Norman Vincent Peale’s The Power of Positive Thinking, way back in 1952, brought this concept to the attention of those curious enough to look for it, but it was never backed by any kind of scientific research. In The Living Matrix it is practitioners, researchers and scientists—supported by graphic animation and individuals who share seemingly miraculous cures—who present the results of their investigations.
Whether or not the current furor over health care brings us new options from the outside, The Living Matrix should make us all more aware of the options we carry within ourselves for our own healing.
