<!–StartFragment–> What do The Matrix, biology, and iPads all have in common? According to Dr. Bruce Lipton, author of The Biology of Belief, all of these things have to do with programming and how your brain functions. Dr. Lipton began his career as a cell biologist and made breakthrough studies on the cell membrane. Through this, Dr. Lipton helped establish the study of epigenetics. In Dr. Lipton’s eyes, his research implies the existence of the immortal spirit, and he wants those around him to challenge their own perceptions because of this discovery.

<!–StartFragment–> I think if you take the hero’s journey or just the story arc of beginning, middle, end, protagonist and antagonist and you position what you have to share in this framework, it naturally will resonate with people. It will become more memorable. It will deeply impact them. Crucially in today’s society, it will become more likely that they can advocate for that story and tell that truth to someone else. As traditional media breaks down, and the one to one approach of the TV industrial complex begins to lose its efficacy, word of mouth and oral tradition has come back in a huge way in society.

The easiest way to go green is to just start by going smaller. Just realize, that particularly in the US there’s this real phenomenon.

We come at this whole question from the perspective that religion is really about the tools that we use to make meaning of our lives and help us live flourishing lives. That means all sorts of things. It means giving you a sense of connection to other people around you, to your deepest self, to the natural world the moments of transcendence or the experiences that some people might call God, to a sense of time to history. Really it helps you find a place in the world, it gives you a sense of who you are.  A ritual, a set of words, chant, or song, all the tools or religion were right at one point in time. To be honest, someone could still sit in that service and find something. But it’s not working for you, and you’re not alone in that question.
