Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D. to Receive the 2009 Goi Peace Award
by Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D
Dear Evolutionary “Imaginal Cells,”
We are in a world of crisis. From economic collapse to environmental decay to climate change to war, hunger and poverty, our species seems to be headed “fool” speed ahead on a fast track to a train wreck.
But what if
these crises presented the greatest opportunity in recorded history – conscious evolution? The new book, coauthored with my dear friend, Steve Bhaerman, Spontaneous Evolution: Our Positive Future (And A Way to Get There From Here), offers both the hope and challenge that we can safely navigate this dark passage, to a healthier future. The good news is that biology and evolution are on our side.
To better understand the opportunity hidden in today’s crises, consider the tale of another world in transition. Imagine you are a single cell among millions that comprise a growing caterpillar. The structure around you has been operating like a well-oiled machine, and the larva world has been creeping along predictably. Then one day, the machine begins to shudder and shake. The system begins to fail. Cells begin to commit suicide. There is a sense of darkness and impending doom.
From within the dying population, a new breed of cells begins to emerge, called imaginal cells. Clustering in community, they devise a plan to create something entirely new from the wreckage. Out of the decay arises a great flying machine—a butterfly—that enables the survivor cells to escape from the ashes and experience a beautiful world, far beyond imagination. Here is the amazing thing: the caterpillar and the butterfly have the exact same DNA. They are the same organism, but are receiving and responding to different organizing signals.
That is where we are today. When we read the newspaper and watch the evening news, we see the media reporting a decaying caterpillar world. And yet everywhere, you and other human imaginal cells are awakening to a new possibility. We are clustering, communicating, and tuning into a new, coherent signal of love.
Recently, the “New Biology” described in The Biology of Belief was recognized by the Goi Peace Foundation as an important contribution in securing world peace. The following news release is an announcement of the Foundation’s 2009 Goi Peace Award followed by my heartfelt acceptance.
In truth, the award is really a recognition of all of our efforts to help civilization survive its imminent evolutionary crisis.
With Love and Light,
Bruce
