Spontaneous Evolution: Our Positive Future (And a Way to Get There from Here) Reviews

  No where near as good as Biology of Belief. I didn't actually finish this. Lipton seems to get too caught up on wordplay and puns and waffle a bit. The actual message of the book, however, was lovely.

  I didn't find this the most readable of books initially, as I couldn't tell where it was going. But when I really got into it, I began to appreciate it. The subject-matter of the book affects all our personal lives - the very existence of the planet, and in fact has broad metaphysical ramifications. I haven't previously read any book quite like it.
  
  The authors examine various myths entrenched in the basic beliefs of our civilization and challenge 1) the main tenets of Newtonian philosophy, basically that the only reality is physical matter 2) Charles Darwin's theory of evolution and the necessity for us to fight for our survival - survival of the fittest 3) the theory that we have all blindly accepted for years that we are controlled and limited by our genes and 4) that evolution and everything else that happens to us is random. Actually all these four premises have been proved by modern science to be fallacious, but our society is still acting on them as though they were true.
  
  It is explained that evolution did not occur gradually but in great leaps. Single cells developed into single cell communities. These developed into multicellular organisms, which in turn developed into societal organizations.
  
  That is, we did not evolve through competition and fighting but through cooperation and banding (bonding) together.
  
  The crazy self-destructive way our human society is run is compared to the way the cells in our body run the show. Our cells don't fight and kill each other but pool their resources and work together for the health of the greater whole.
  
  It's all explained at a very high level, and I would need to have read the book a couple of times more to even begin to give an adequate representation of the details or even all the main precepts of the book.
  
  But what I got out of it was that at this critical juncture when when both our living planet and ourselves are on the brink of a new evolutionary leap, we need to change our basic thinking, cooperate instead of fight, love instead of hate. In other words we need to follow the example of our own cells, and realize that we humans are also all part of one body, Gaia - and if we are to survive we must accept all other beings as necessary parts of ourselves, or our greater Self.
  
  The key word to the success of this evolutionary leap is LOVE.
  
  And when I read this book I felt the love and the high consciousness energy of the authors flowing from the pages, and I myself was helped in achieving a higher vibration. It is a book that contributes to harmonizing the head with the heart, which will be a necessary pre-condition for the survival of our civilization.
  
  I strongly recommend this book to every thinking and loving person, and to all those who aspire to be such.

  TRIPLE 777 STARS: JACKPOT
  
  Buying it. Or am I? Or will I just take my hammock to Lipton PhD's house and set it up in between some delightful trees out back and greet him every day with chicory coffee and fresh fruit? Haven't decided. I do know that I have finally read the book that has synthesized all of the progressivism that I have been greedily hunting down over the past few years. YES, health, spirit, world, etc, all parallel each other unavoidably because this whole universe is fractal as F<.
  
  Bruce Lipton, who brought us the seminal work, "The Biology of Belief", rips into hardened, crustacean reality perception once again, with a new sidekick, Swami Beyondananda, who you should already trust based on his impeccable mystical satire. Luckily for fans of "The BoB", this book is thicker, juicier, and perfectly entrained along an upward spiral track of his original thesis, now in full bloom. Even without knowing Lipton's credentials or backstory, it will become obvious to you, the reader, very quickly that this book is incredibly well-researched and obviously the work of someone at the pinnacle of their career who has been weaving threads for years into a warm blanket that will protect ripened souls from the harsh death-wish moonrise of our current leading world generation.
  
  If you're anything like me and you love the "raise your vibrations and feed the moon" genre of new agey material and often have suspected that they are on the right track but merely lack the language with which to articulate their subjective findings, then you will love Lipton's ability to connect all the dots by providing that language (which is currently evolving under our still-hestitant-to-believe-what's-under-their-microscope scientific community). He fearlessly dances between his native focus of biology to dogmatic religion to spirituality to Native American politics to the newest dogmatic religion, Science, and back again - joining all of their unwilling hands in preparation for the dance they will ultimately participate in together, as the resonant music of truth shows itself to be pulsing at the same rhythm regardless of the talking head it comes out of.
  
  Oh, is it the end of the review already? Well, I do hope I've convinced you of ...something.

  Profound and conscious. Truly a must read for all humans alive today who wish to see a better "now."
  
  This book covers a plethora of coherent ideas leading to a fundemental (and applicable!) method of bringing love into our lives as a tool and spiritual medication.
  
  All my words cannot describe nor communicate the depth and transcendence this book brings. Read it!

  David Parker

  Most of the book was a summary of "The Biology of Belief". Where "The Biology of Belief" makes the comparison between cells and humans. "Spontaneous Evolution: Our Positive Future" extends it to human's community of cells/organisms to the global community.

  "There's good news, and there's bad news. The bad news: civilization, as we know it, is about to end. Now, the good news: civilization, as we know it, is about to end."
  
  We find ourselves at a strangely schizophrenic moment in our history as a species. Never have we had such understanding of the workings of our world, and yet we appear to be propelling ourselves inexorably towards our own extinction through a combination of exponential population growth, an economic system which is dependent on an ever-increasing addiction to the consumption of unnecessary material goods and an unsustainable food production system which is emptying the seas of fish and removing vast tracts of forest which act as our world's lungs, replenishing the air we need to breathe. Many of us are also at war with members of our own species. How is it that we are, at one and the same time, the smartest of species when it comes to knowledge and the stupidest of species when it comes to behaviour?
  
  Just as a computer is only as capable as its programming, the human mind is dependent not just on the accuracy of the information it has to work with but also the integrity of the conceptual framework with which it seeks to associate and draw conclusions from that information. Maybe some of what we "know" is wrong? Is it possible that our self-destructive behaviour can be traced back to what Lipton calls the "Four Myth-Perceptions of the Apocalypse"?
  
  1. "Only Matter Matters"
  
  There has been a tendency in science towards reductionism (an attempt to understand things by reducing them to their constituent parts), mechanism (making analogies between living things and machines) and materialism (a denial of the relevance, or in some cases the very existence, of consciousness or spirit). Personally, I like to think of this trend as an attempt to avoid considering the importance of relationship. Reductionism denies the importance of the relationship of parts in a functioning whole. Mechanism denies organic interrelatedness, trying to replace it with the simple inflexible workings of a machine. And materialism looks at things but not at their relationship to each other.
  
  While there are advantages to breaking things down into their constituent parts, making analogies between living things and machines (if only because we can make more effective machines by copying the superior technology of nature) and considering forms of matter in isolation, each of these approaches falls far short of the apprehension of reality we can achieve when we take an holistic approach. And the denial at the heart of materialism can no longer be maintained now that we know that, when we look at the subatomic structure of matter, there is nothing there but relationship.
  
  One of the major effects of this "myth-perception" on society is the tendency to over-emphasise the material aspects of our relationships to each other. Is it about whether we communicate with each other in a loving way or is it about whether or not we wear Armani designer clothes?
  
  2. "Survival of the Fittest"
  
  Lipton has a lot to say about theories of evolution. Natural selection is only one aspect of evolution. It was first written up in a scientific paper by Alfred Russel Wallace. Charles Darwin, who'd been thinking along similar lines but not yet written a paper, became a co-presenter of the theory and then, in writing it up in The Origin of Species, became the figure who sold the idea to the general public. In the process, the focus changed somewhat. Wallace's theory was that evolution progressed through the elimination of the weakest. While Darwin was not the originator of the term "survival of the fittest" (philosopher Herbert Spencer used the term in reference to Darwin's theories and then Darwin adopted the term himself in the fifth edition of The Origin of Species), the distortion of reality which it represents is attributable to his articulation of the theory of natural selection rather than to Wallace's.
  
  Natural selection takes place through the survival of the fit, not the fittest. There is no advantage to being "the fittest" only to not being unfit, and thus eliminated. There is more cooperation than competition in nature. Predator/prey relationships between species are not competition but cooperation. By eating the weakest of an antelope herd, a pride of lions is helping that species to remain within the carrying capacity of its ecosystem and thus avoid the mass die off which would happen if there were too many antelopes and not enough grass. Within species there is some competition for food or for mating opportunities but, compared to human conflicts, these are relatively trivial. Stags may butt antlers to establish dominance, but what is being decided is no more than whether they get to pick the most appealing mate or the second most appealing mate. The major eliminations of species occur based on inability to adapt to environmental changes. It is less "survival of the fittest" and more "survival of the most adaptable". And "most adaptable" tends to mean "most able to cooperate with members of one's own species and with other species".
  
  A social impact of this "myth-perception" is the idea that we need to fight our way up the "ladder of success". When we live our lives from this perspective we are so keenly focussed on the next rung above us, that we miss the opportunities to enrich our own lives and those of others which surround us right were we are now. In a "survival of the fittest", even if a few might "win", the majority will always be losers.
  
  3. "It's In Your Genes"
  
  Lipton is a geneticist, so this is one question on which he has a lot to say. This is another area where there is an attempt to deny the importance of relationship. In the "nature/nurture" debate, "nurture" is all about our relationships to each other and our environment. Clearly our genes provide us with certain physical tendencies and they probably have some kind of impact in the complex interactions of our emotional life. But they also are the perfect scapegoat if we wish to deny the importance of our relationship to each other or our environment. If you get caught being unfaithful, don't worry, you can blame it on the "cheater's gene". If you end up feeling defeated and depressed by your futile attempts to climb that "ladder of success", its not because the cultural expectation driving your life is faulty, its because you have a genetic pre-disposition to depression.
  
  Genes tell our cells what kinds of proteins to make, but our genes take orders from their environment. The genes are not the "brain" of the cell. You can remove the nucleus of a cell, where all the DNA is stored, and the cell will continue to function in a healthy way until it dies from lack of proteins. The "brain" of the cell is the receptors in the cell-membrane which transfer information from the cell's environment. And a major part of the information which effects how our body operates is information which comes from our mind. The problem is that most of what goes on in our mind is subconscious. We know about the placebo effect in which the mind tells us we are going to heal and we do. But Lipton emphasises that there is also an opposite kind of effect, which he calls the "nocebo" effect, in which telling someone they have a genetic predisposition to cancer may be the very thing which causes their body to malfunction in this way. Stress has been shown to be a major factor in making the human body prone to all kinds of illness.
  
  To embrace our power to replace faulty beliefs, to chose our actions and to build a basis for our health in loving community and responsible lifestyles doesn't preclude taking full advantage of the advances in pharmaceutical medicine and gene manipulation in those rarer instances where we can benefit from doing so. But to view our genetic make-up as destiny or excuse is an unrealistic form of disempowerment.
  
  4. "Evolution is Random"
  
  Recent experiments have shown that living organisms can evolve quickly to adapt to changing environments. Environmental stress can trigger a response which speeds up the cycle of reproduction while making the reproduction of genetic material "deliberately faulty" in such a way as to generate mutations which may prove a better fit to the new environment. This backs up Stephen Jay Gould and Niles Eldredge's theory of punctuated equilibrium, which views evolutionary change as something which happens in bursts with long periods of stability. It also shows that Jean Baptiste Lamarck's original theory of adaptive evolution is at least as relevant as Darwin's and Wallace's later theory of natural selection to a complete understanding of the evolutionary process.
  
  The key insight of Lipton and Bhaerman's book is that we can be conscious agents of our own evolution. They make a comparison between human beings and cells. Each of us experiences our self as a single human being, but we are really a community of cells operating autonomously but cooperatively, the self-interest of each requiring the survival of the whole. Now we stand at a comparable evolutionary threshold to that which separated single-celled organisms from the first multi-cellular organisms. For certain single-celled organisms there was a survival advantage in grouping together in communities. Eventually these communities developed a membrane around them and became a multi-celled organism. Originally all of the cells were the same. Later the specialisation of cells within the community of the organism allowed for more complex development. As human beings we are grouped together as members of a society, but we are still working, to some degree, at cross-purposes. When these communication problems are solved we can work together, like our cells, as a single organism pursuing not just survival but "thrival" as Lipton terms it.
  
  This is a very important book which I would recommend to anyone. There are aspects of it which many may not like, from its folksy tone full of cheesy puns (many care of Bhaerman's alter ego Swami Beyondananda) to what could be viewed as its America-centric view of politics to the enthusiastic presentation of experimental evidence for the power of prayer. None of these things put me off. I'm hardly one to complain about bad puns. While Lipton talks a lot about the virtues of the Founding Fathers, and even more about the Native American culture they emulated, this doesn't seem out of place when one considers that he is using these as examples of a tendency away from the oppressive monarchism dominant in other parts of the world at the time. He certainly is not slow to criticise his own country in most other ways, so I don't think this is a cultural bias. And when it comes to scientific studies in the healing power of intention and such like, I find myself increasingly able to keep an open mind. I won't place belief in these things without seeing a good deal of evidence, but I ask myself "Why do I believe in the existence of Black Holes?" I've never seen one. I don't even understand the theory of how they are supposed to work. If I believe they exist it is because a significant bunch of scientists say so. I have tentative faith in those scientist's perceptions. But, as Lipton shows clearly, the majority of scientists in a field can be wrong for quite some time. I could say "I don't believe in prayer because it doesn't make sense." That is to pre-suppose that we live in a world in which communication can only happen through easily detectible channels. We can't presume the non-existence of something invisible. There is a longstanding cultural belief in the power of prayer. I needn't take that as evidence, but there is something very arrogant in assuming that "the great unwashed don't know their arse from their elbow". An interesting problem arises when it comes to scientific testing in this area. Skeptics will accuse researchers of bias and may try to replicate the results, but, if psychic intention really does effect outcome, the results for the skeptics will necessarily show a negative result because that is their intention. So I'm happy to leave that as an amusing dispute for those who care about it.
  
  However, it would be foolish to reject this book on the basis of any one aspect of it, or even a handful of aspects, because what it offers as a whole is tremendously valuable, the way that it brings together the threads of disfunction in our society - scientific, economic, political, religious, medical - and offers a constructive way of addressing them at their roots. Even if one doesn't agree with his viewpoint, the questions he raises are ones which will not go away. If we are going to come together into a single organism, it will not happen through a victory by one side or the other in any of the conflicts going on in our society, but through a process of attraction away from those conflicts to a unifying vision which sees a place for all. This is the kind of vision Lipton and Bhaerman (and others like them) are articulating. Maybe one day you'll join it, and the world will be as one.

  The ideas are fascinating and hopeful, and I enjoyed Bruce Lipton's "The Biology of Belief" which creates a framework for the greatly expand vision in this positive and hopeful book. There were two things that detracted from an otherwise valuable book: (1) the political statements, which I personally found naive and misguided, and (2) Dr. Lipton's sad ignorance of his own heritage. The book would've been better without any political insinuations, and would have a wider appeal, since politics tends to divide, and the theme of the book is global unity. As far as Dr. Lipton's representation (or lack of) of Judaism as a belief system, it was depressing to see the authors' perceptions of various world religions, and giving Chrisitianity the "credit" for professing monotheism. Not only are there some perceptual errors in the origin of ideas, in the single Jewish source quoted (among others of many other faiths), the citation is incorrect. It was a very worthwhile book overall, but the caveats I mentioned would prevent me from purchasing the book or giving it as a gift to someone else.

  Wow! Here is a book of optimism and hope for the future of humanity, and it's in our hands! The author, a cell biologist says that each of us is made of 50 trillion cells, a community of a great variety of cells, all working together to ensure that our bodies can function. He suggests that humanity is part of the community that is life on earth; we're all connected, animals, plants and humans.
  Unfortunately, whilst reading the final chapter "A Whole New Story" I'm watching the current news from Ukraine and seeing a very old story unfold, one that is sending shock waves around the world. One world leader would rather the world go backwards rather than tend the garden that is earth.

  I listened to this on audio. It was an interesting tour of the history of biology and psychology in relation to the body's ability to heal via the placebo effect. Sort of a "thoughts become things" argument but without the daffy broad from The Secret. Instead you have a science dude and a history dude.
  
  I expected less science and history lessons but they were interesting to hear put in a line toward addressing our current society's methods of killing themselves with pills, killing the environment without thought, and the "end of days" cycle of evolution.
  
  Overall interesting book.

  Str. 189- tisti, katerim je pomembno, da z nami manipulirajo, so uvideli, da nam morajo najprej odvrniti pozornost, da bi sprejeli in živeli po njihovih pravilih, osnovanih na strahu, in nam tako preprečili, da se globlje podajamo v lastno notranjost in spoznavamo svojo prirojeno dobroto.
  
  Str. 192- ... saj bi ob spoznanju o tem, kako okolje, osebne percepcije in način življenja vplivajo na gensko aktivnost in imunski sistem, imeli možnost aktivno vplivati na svoje zdravje in ga upravljati.

  Str. 319- da čeprav naši zavestni umi lahko spoznajo nove životvorne informacije, obstaja možnost, da nikoli ne bodo prišle nižje od našega vratu in ne preidejo v območje delovanja. To je razumljivo, če se spomnimo, da podzavestni program upravljajo s 95% našega delovanja.
  
  Str. 321- podzavestni um upravlja s 95% našega obnašanja in kognitivnega delovanja, ki regulira gene skozi programe, dobljene prvotno iz polja prepričanj. Kaj to pomeni? Ko prevzamemo uzde lastnih podzavestnih prepričanj in emocij, posamezno ali kolektivno, takrat ponovno prevzamemo tudi kontrolo nad našim življenjem. ... bomo videli, da zgodba, ki jo pripovedujemo nam samim in drugim o stvarnosti in o našem prostoru, globoko vpliva ne samo na človeško civilizacijo, pač pa tudi na sam Planet. Čeprav sebe doživljamo kot majhne in nepomembne, pa naša skupna zavestna in nezavestna verovanja pravzaprav preurejajo delce materije, kar imenujemo stvarnost.
  
  Str. 322-323- zaradi tisočih let dominacijskega programiranja - in številnih zgodovonskih dokazov z vizualnimi beležkami - instiktivno verjamemo, da gre za situacijo tipa MI PROTI NJIM. A ko pridemo v težave, se vsak na koncu oprime svojega meča. Medtem ko se našim zavestnim umom tudi verbalno pojasnjuje vladavina Zlatega pravila, baziranega na ljubezni, pa v naši dominantni podzavesti vlada vlada Vladavina zlata, še posebej kadar je spodbujana s strahom in podprta s prisilo. Kako naj se osvobodimo tega navidez vsemogočnega programa?
  Da nezavestom naredimo zavestno. Ko dojamemo, da se nas ne more programirati s strahom, bomo manj podvrženi manipulaciji tistih, ki izkoriščajo masovne spopade. Nacistični vodja Herman Goering je brez dlake na jeziku na Nürnberškem procesu priznal: "Običajni ljudje, razumljivo, ne želijo vojne... A na koncu koncev politiko določajo državni vodje, ljudi pa je lahko zvleči zvleči v vojno, kadar gre za DEMOKRACIJO, FAŠISTIČNO DIKTATURO, PARLAMENT ALI KOMUNISTIČNO DIKTATURO... Dovolj jim je le reči, da so napadeni ter obtožiti mirovnike za pomanjkanje domoljubja in spravljanje dežele v nevarnost. V VSAKI DRŽAVI TO FUNKCIONIRA NA ISTI NAČIN."
  
  Str. 324- kot predsednik Južne Afrike je Mandela leta 1994 ustanovil Odbor za resnico in spravo ter ob tem dejal: "PRETEKLOST SE LAHKO UPOKOJI SAMO Z RESNICO." Z ustanovitvijo tega odbora je želel spodbuditi ugotovitev političnih zločinov, storjenih s strani oblastnikov, pa tudi revolucionarnih sil, in omogočiti storilcem, da priznajo zločine in poiščejo amnestijo v zameno za pošteno pričanje. ....

  Interesting philosophical ideas... however there was one statement in particular that made me think they were covering areas of history naively without genuine investigation that one would expect from a set of authors who reference it in there book...
  
  The statement am referring to was about some of "founding fathers" of America and their link to the Freemason cult ... which was made out to the reader ( me ) as something "positive" - which if you really look into it is far from it in my opinion - It was done so badly and vaguely I feel either I've missed something in terms the point the author was trying to get across - or I'm being treated like a sheep whom will take his word for it without thought ?! ... hmmm - I hope it wasn't the latter and perhaps the authors purpose was to paint what the founding fathers THOUGHT vs as something he agreed with ( which it comes across as when you listen or read the discussion between the two authors depending on the format you chose to consume this book ) ... not to mention that we are expected to accept the bullshit which we call " evolution " 🙊
  
  That was enough for me to discard the whole book but having respect for one of the speakers better work " the biology of belief " and similar preface to areas covered in this book - I thought I'd give at least some credit where it's due

  Suggestions and examples to transform the cuture,the greater and the personal.
  "The current situation in human economics completely conflicts with the successful cellular principal that the community's first level of investment is to ensure the health and social welfare of its citizens. Cellular logic is quite simple: a healthy, happy population inevitably produces more wealth and prosperity for all because the individuals consume last to survive. The consequence of failing to make the communities well-being a first priority seriously threatens human survival.
  Warfare, the health-care crisis, and the disproportionately large number of imprisoned citizens are expressions of civilization’s lack of well-being. A loss of productivity due to a disabled workforce combined with massive expenditures to fund the war machine, tend the ill, and control the incarcerated has drastically drained America's wealth."

  The authors highlight Jesus' Golden Rule 'love the neighbor as thy self' & a world based on Einstein's findings 'the neighbor is thy self' in essence is the same...summarizing we are all related. The book warns us to stop doing the same thing over and over expecting different results! Because that is the definition of INSANITY! So why do we do this? Because we are stuck on our story. The way to "rewrite our old story...is through forgiveness. Forgiveness 'transforms the victim archetype' once and for all. By acquiring and acting upon new awareness, we afford ourselves an opportunity to rewrite the programs of cultural limitations (self-limiting beliefs/our old story.)The first step in reprogramming is deprogramming." This process allows us to heal and in turn help heal the world.🌎 The book cites so many reports regarding the healing power of love, prayer & coherence!

  Ottimo libro, mi è piaciuto moltissimo.Gli autori cercano di coniugare l'ottica scientifica con una dimensione spirituale. I dati e gli studi scientifici sono presentati in maniera efficace (con ampia bibliografia) e portano ad una riflessione ponderata che riguarda il nostro passato evolutivo, il nostro presente, e gli sviluppi del nostro futuro individuale e collettivo. Si tratta di comprendere che siamo co-creatori della nostra realtà, nel suo aspetto biologico, relazionale, politico.

  I like the way cause connections, facts from different dimensions and fields are interlinked. I did not like that there is kind of push that we have to jump to the new level of consciousness. I believe that slowly more and more people are realizing the oneness of everything but I believe not in the jump but gradual development of each individual. The book is great and definitely worth to read to expend the understanding of connections of everything in our life.

  I think the authors achieved the goals they had for me in reading this book: I agreed with some things, disagreed with others, it made me think, gave me information and entertained me.

  I’ll read (listen to) this book again! Love Bruce Lipton, and the information here is not only fascinating. It’s encouraging. The stories behind the stories kept me sitting in my car, listening for the next idea.
