Taking the Steps to a Creative Consciousness
In this episode, Dr. David Hanscom continues his discussion about consciousness and health with Bruce Lipton. He talks about the evolutionary
importance of cooperation over competition, using examples like horse colts learning community behavior to survive. He explores how human cells function as a community of 30 trillion cells coordinated by the brain, with disharmony leading to autoimmune conditions. He explains how 95% of human behavior is controlled by subconscious programs downloaded from parents and environment during early childhood, particularly through theta brain state hypnosis. He described three ways to change these programs: using self-hypnosis with earbuds during theta state while falling asleep, practicing new behaviors through repetition after age 7, and leveraging necessity as a driver for change. He discusses energy psychology and super learning techniques, explaining how people can reprogram beliefs by identifying what they struggle with and using hemisphere integration methods to download new beliefs quickly.

Bruce Lipton is an internationally recognized bestselling author and cellular biologist who has spent decades challenging scientific orthodoxy with a revolutionary message: genes don’t control our destiny—our beliefs and environment do. As a senior research scientist at Stanford University’s School of Medicine, his groundbreaking cloning experiments revealed the biochemical pathways by which the mind controls behavior and genetic activity, presaging today’s revolutionary field of epigenetics. Dr. Lipton’s research has been published in prestigious scientific journals including Science, Nature, Journal of Cell Biology, Developmental Biology,
