Over the past several months I have been listening to family and health radio. One afternoon, doctors were discussing genetic mutations and how what we do to our bodies actually genetically rewires our DNA. Did you know that? They stated what we put into our bodies actually alters how we react and respond. They were discussing the e-cigarette and how it uses antifreeze to vaporize tobacco making the e-cigarette way more dangerous than a regular cigarette. The hookah bars we see popping up where teens are socially gathering and smoking are actually more dangerous than cigarettes because of the carbon used to light the hookah. The point though that came across alarmingly clear was that what we do to our bodies genetically modifies us and will pass to our offspring. Yes…. I know what your thinking.. Reread the last sentence once more! What we do now changes what kinds of people we are creating. BINGO!
I started contemplating the possibilities. Can you imagine what was going through my head? We know our minds are the timekeepers and destiny makers of our time. We know that what we think we actually become; this is the most important lesson to learn in post Freudian psychology. Our minds are so pliable, this is why parenting is of course the most important job we have to accomplish in life. Passing the good stuff to our children and hoping they don’t suffer too much because we have never done it before and we will and do make mistakes. None the less, if we know that what we put in our bodies genetically transforms the system, effectively rewiring it for future generations; then we can not deny the grand possibilities of what passing on views and overall concepts towards mankind will influence future generations.
We can see through generations that racism and equality change and sometimes disappear over time. Why then cannot all of the hate be wiped from the earth? How can we as a whole in humanity make a genetic rewiring of man and woman and their views of each other, the way they choose to mate, the way they choose to disagree? I’ll tell you… every parent and every adult has to make a conscious decision to what their minds feel, and act with love. They have to teach that it is the only way to a peace like we have never seen on earth.
It is easy to decide to never smoke again if a doctor can genetically prove to you that you are disrupting your DNA by doing so and what’s worse actually mutating your genes to pass to the next generations, making them more susceptible to cancer and disease and addictions. It should be very clear then that our mindsets are absolutely no different. Each family affects their next generations by teaching hate and non tolerance and that is why there is no peace on earth.
My wish as we celebrate the beautiful joy of Jesus’s birth and we hold dear to our loved ones; that we choose to in 2014 become finely tuned as humans to our greatest potentials and ways to influence the next generations. Every new year brings new years resolutions. By conscious modifications we have the greatest potential to create Peace on Earth!
Take Care of YOU!
