The Honeymoon Effect: The Science of Creating Heaven on Earth

by Bruce H. Lipton

Ph.D. in cell biology and a tenured position at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health.

While mulling over my research on cells, I realized that cells are not controlled by genes and neither are we.

love is the most potent growth factor for human beings,

and love is contagious!

“The answers lie within.”

The nature and power of harmonious relationships can be seen in the community of the trillions of cells that cooperate to form every human being.

A human being is actually a community made up of 50 trillion sentient cells within a skin-covered petri dish,

For humans, sex for propagation is crucial until a population stabilizes. When human populations reach a state of balance and security, sex for propagation decreases. In the United States, where most parents expect their children to survive and also expect that they themselves won’t be out on the streets with a cup when they’re old, the average number of offspring per family is fewer than two. However, any population that is threatened will initiate reproduction earlier and reproduce more—they’re unconsciously doing the calculation that some of their children are not going to survive and that they’ll need more than two children to share the load of helping to support them when they’re old. In India, for

example, though the fertility rate dropped 19 percent in a decade to 2.2, in the poorest areas where families face tremendous challenges to survive, the rate can be three times higher.

Two Is Enough: A Couple’s Guide to Living Childless by Choice,

Scott started researching the subject and found that according to a 2000 Current Population Survey, 30 million married couples in the United States do not have children and that the United States Census Bureau predicted that married

couples with children would account for only 20 percent of households by 2010.5 Scott also did her own survey of couples who are childless by choice and found that one important motive for not having children was how much the couples valued their relationships.

In fact, homosexuality is natural and common in the animal kingdom.

In

a 2009 review of the scientific literature, University of California at Riverside biologists Nathan W. Bailey and Marlene Zuk, who advocate more study about the evolutionary impetus for homosexual behavior, state, “The variety and ubiquity of same-sex sexual behavior in animals is impressive; many thousands of instances of same-sex courtship, pair bonding and copulation have been observed in a w...

“Geometry existed before creation.”

I believe that there is a subtle magnetism in Nature, which, if we unconsciously yield to it, will direct us aright.

More important for this chapter, the loss of all my possessions was a painful lesson for me about the importance of trusting “bad vibes” and “good vibes.”

All organisms on this planet use vibration (aka energy) as a primary means of communication. I learned the hard way that ignoring this primary means of communication is a huge mistake, one we humans make all the time. Essentially, we buy the Brooklyn Bridge even though on some level we know we’re being had. We override our feelings when our rational minds focus on words, especially when they’re spoken by silver-tongued swindlers (or lovers).

“Language was designed to hide feelings.” There was nothing my predator neighbor had said that would have tipped me off to his chosen career as a scam artist. There was nothing I said that would have tipped him off to the fact that I was on to him. Yet as much as I tried to talk myself out of it, on some level I knew because I could read his energy, his bad vibrations.

To create the Honeymoon Effect in your life, you’ll need to take advantage of your wonderful innate gift, the ability to sense good and bad vibrations. And to do so you’ll likely have to overcome the programming you received in your youth, although that’s not the only programming you’ll have to undo, as I will explain in Chapter

What quantum physics teaches us is that everything we thought was physical is not physical. Instead, everything in this Universe is made out of immaterial energy, and everything radiates energy.

Originally, Newtonian physics held that the atom was the smallest particle of the Universe. In fact, the word atom comes from the Greek uncuttable. However, the year 1895 marked the beginning of a renaissance in physics that would forever change our understanding of the world. It was at this time that physicists began to discover that atoms are made up of even smaller particles. Electrons were discovered first, followed by protons and neutrons.

But in truth, our brains broadcast signals outside our heads into the environment and respond to signals from the environment as well. Modern medicine exploits this two-way signaling for diagnostic and treatment purposes. You’re no doubt familiar with electroencephalography (EEG), in which

sensors and wires are placed on the scalp to read the electrical activity of the brain.

Magnetoencephalography does the same thing, except that the probe used to read the brain’s electromagnetic activity doesn’t even touch the head! This amazingly noninvasive technology, which is used for cognitive research as well as for diagnostic purposes such as locating tumors befor...

Live, and enjoy.”

A curious instance of affection in the animal, which ended fatally, took place last week at the country residence of Baron Gauci, at Malta. A female gazelle having suddenly died from something it had eaten, the male stood over the dead body of his mate, butting everyone who attempted to touch it, then, suddenly, making a spring, struck his head against a wall, and fell

dead at the side of his companion.

“Be conscious of what you

for because you’re going ...

While the conscious mind is creative and can use that creativity to learn, the subconscious mind primarily learns through either hypnosis or the creation of habits.

Repetition leads to habituation, and that is the fundamental mechanism for programming subconscious behavior patterns.

The goal of mindfulness is to make your every action and decision come

from your wishes and desires; i.e., your conscious mind, not your autopilot, subconscious mind.

mindfulness is a lot easier when you’re making love. The study found that mind-wandering occurred on average only 10 percent of the time when the subjects were having sex.12 This explains why honeymooners have an easier time operating consciously. When we stay mindful—not just when we’re having sex—the wishes and desires of our conscious minds will manifest in our lives, which is how we can make sure the Honeymoon Effect lasts!

hemispheric synchronization.

whole-brain function is a “gateway to higher consciousness,”

“Alive in each person’s heart is the desire to participate in something bigger than themselves.”

When the cells in our bodies fight one another, we call that autoimmune disease.

We, on the other hand, are creating our own extinction because of our disconnection from nature.

evolution isn’t about the fittest individuals in a species; it’s about the impact of the species as a whole.

“Creation is one. The Earth is one. We are one.”

I am now convinced that the deprivation of physical sensory pleasure is the principal root cause of violence.”5
