After reading a recent post by Todd in regard to living in the still moments and how disease could not survive as it needs time to grow.
With each breath we pull in new atoms new possibilities, fresh and vital, or maybe are they used second hand, possible even some of the atoms that were living in Christ, or Buddha. My reasoning is that we are continually being restructured from this process of breath in breath out, also by the food we eat and all the atoms that make them. Although we have these new building blocks we reconstruct based on replacement rather than refreshment, a thing called cellular memory.
What if we decided to forget about what we were and focussed more on our potential, could we convince this cellular memory to take a back seat, could we reinvent ourselves daily. Reboot ourselves in each moment, could we actually replace rather than refresh.
Just a thought .................
and I think we do replace,,in a sense..One of the most interesting things I got from the old,"what the bleep" movie was from Candice Pert. Her, and her husband did all the cellular research, and still do,I think. what they found , was that we are very capable of replacing our old cells with new , better cells. they did experiments with heroin addicts, and others....The point was, that any addiction,,heroin, tobacco, emotional addictions,,altered the receptors on cells each time they replaced themselves. The new cell would have more receptors for the addiction, and less for nutrients,water, etc....this is very important 1,as , if the addiction was broken, and replaced with a good "habit", the cells would then regenerate with more receptors for the new habit...This is "scientific proof of what we are capable of, not just the notion that we can regenerate our bodies after so much abuse, but the possibility of changing it in ways we haven't even conceived of yet. of course, the subjects had to change their thinking to break the addictions,which rewired neuro networks,,,,sooo, why wouldn't it work with anything else? It makes sense to me that it would work with the altering of any thought process....If you get a rush from doing good for others,,,if it gives you that great feeling,,it is no different than any addiction, and there is no reason why you couldn't become "addicted" to THAT feeling,,thereby altering your cells over the long term to desire more of the same...If you are addicted to tobacco, it is your neuro networks that tell you that the cells are asking for more nicotine,,,so why wouldn't they ask for more of anything that you are giving them in excess ? Does that make sense ? I think their research uncovered a key point in the path to changing our own dna,,,and with the higher vibrational frequencies permeating us now, it should become easier and easier to do it in the future....I hope all this makes sense,,,,peace to you my friend,,,,T
Despite what it appears to be... cells are vibrating energy constructs. At anytime with the right mix of intention, focus, sound and light... the cells could be programmed to be better or worse-- depending on what you are creating. It takes real focus to do this.
The best examples of this are those who have miraculously restored their health and become cancer free through prayer/intention/Blessing.
Prayer/Intention/Blessing are techniques that assist us in our focus, intent-- the I AM prescence that is really us we are all part of the I Am presecence then adds in Light and Sound to finish the co-creation of new cellular patterns.
I bless us all with Love--

Ultimately all that appears is an energetic expression of our individual consciousness and our collective agreement. And, what we eat, breathe, drink has an impact on our apparent materialized form of organism at least until we master our nascent recognition of the fact that we are the one that is all that is and all that appears is us.
It's been said that the human body replaces all its cells every seven years. If that's true, then why do we age and carry past sickness, scars, etc. for year throughout our lives? There must be a mental component to the equation.
As it is true, "you are what you eat." It also follows that you are what you think.
That said, I wonder why "ascended masters" continue to age and to die just like the rest of us.
In Tibet, in both the Bon and Buddhist Dzogchen traditions there are numerous accounts of masters who, at the end of their lives, have instructed their students to sew them into their tent or lock them in their room and not to disturb them for ten days. During that period of time in that 'hood strage phenomena of light occur, various colors snaking across the ground, rainbows around the tent &/or in the sky, etc. After the 10 days the master's space is re-openned and their robes are in a pile and all that is left is the 20 finger and toenails and the hair. It is an attainment called Ja Lus or rainbow body.
In Tibetan cosmology the five gross elements - earth, water, fire, air and space - are transforms of the five pure lights - yellow, white, red, green and blue. The realized practitioner transmutes the elements of his gross physical form back into light and thereafter can manifest at will with a light body. (This is probably how Saint Germain manifested in the 70s in Muir Woods in front of the meditating guy who later became known as Peter Mt.Shasta. (I personally know Peter and can vouch for his honesty and integrity.) This story is how his book, Adventures of A Western Mystic - Apprentice to The Masters begins. It reads like a good adventure novel.)
Sometime ago I had the opportunity of attending a ten-day teaching of the Dalai Lama on the Heart Sutra at the Shoreline Amphitheatre here in the SF Bay area. In the course of his teachings hementioned that there was a recent, verified case of a Ningmapa having attained rainbow body in, I think, Kham, Tibet.
In the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, Sogyal Rinpoche recounts an example witnessed by his uncle in Tibet in the late 50s or early 60s. When the man, who had returned his robe and bowl to get married and become a householder, gave all his posessions to his former monestary and asked to be sealed in his room everyone was amazed; no one realized he was such a high practitioner. (I may actually be conflating the details of two stories I have read here...)
The local Tibetans learned that the Chinese authorities had gotten wind of this and were journeying to the village in order to put an end to "these foolish superstitions." And so, contrary to what they would normally do, after about 6 days, they openned the room.
What they found was the body of this man sitting crosslegged as if in meditation, shrunken, proportionally within his clothes to a size that would fit on a dinner plate. The removed it and placed it in a Stuppa.
I recently read a book of teachings from a lineage of female Dzogchen masters in the Bon traditon. Thirty-two or -three women in succession (master, primary disciple then her primary disciple) achieved rainbow body.
As far as I know, this is what it means to become an ascended master. The master is a master of physicality and she doesn't die in the ordinary way unless that proves to be the most effective way of helping others. Milarepa was told he could have attained light body but that if he focused on the practices to attain that he would not be able to help as many people and so, he choose the latter path...
I don't know; I wasn't there...
Thanks for all the great thoughts here. I definitely know that we can change ourselves with each breath. I often breathe sacred love with all around me and find that it energizes me in a most wonderful way. And I have no problem with growing older and disease.
I find that disease manifests for a reason in my life. These days it is almost always an indicator that I have somehow strayed off my chosen path. So whenever I get sick, I take time to quietly go deep inside and explore where I might be out of balance. In recent years, the answer almost always comes quickly, and I am able to make the shift or clear up any distorted energy I might have with someone. This happened just two weeks ago with a cold. As soon as I saw where I was not clear with two people in my life, I contacted them, cleared it up, and the cold was gone in no time.
As for growing older, I'm fine with the collective agreement on this planet that my body will age and eventually die. I've always welcomed death as a beautiful part of life. And I'm taking very good care of my body, so that I hope to be one of those people who is still running, doing yoga, and exercising until the last days of my sojourn here. Fun stuff!!! I am extremely thankful for all the blessings I've been given and wish all of you lots of love and many blessings.
With an abundance of love and joy,
Fred
...we age is this. Due to pollutants, chemicals and oxidation, the original cell or blueprint becomes distorted slightly. This leads to the new replacement cell having some errors. These errors are amplified with each successive replacement cell and thus, we age. If you haven't already, read "The Souce Field Investigations" by David Wilcock. There is some exciting research which indicates that you can project a perfect blueprint of DNA with laser light. For instance the blueprint of a healthy liver could be projected onto a diseased one and it would be healed.
made me immediately recall Bruce Lipton's book, Biology of Belief. The study of genetics is now referred to as epigenetics because there is now no escaping the scientifically proven fact that genes respond to their environment. I have to believe that focused and disciplined conscious intention plays a large part in what constitutes personally created emotional perceived environment of each person. If I believe I am a victim, a victim of circumstance, whatever, then I am directing my life to become a self-fulfilling prophecy of my willful response-able concious intent.
One can only imagine how far the eternally evolving upside of this goes...
