-THE SPIRIT SCIENCE ALCHEMY 

Instincts are inborn complex patterns of behavior that exist in most members of the species and should be distinguished from reflexes, which are simple responses of an organism to a specific stimulus, such as the contraction of the pupil in response to bright light or the spasmodic movement of the lower leg when the hammer taps it!

Dr. Bruce Lipton talks about the Nocebo Effect! The Nocebo effect truly shows you when your instincts are overridden by your mind!

Bruce Lipton explains what he calls the “shocking truth about the pharmaceutical industry:” the science called epigenetics. … That’s the result of positive thinking,” and not of drugs. The flip side to the placebo effect is negative thinking or the nocebo effect.

The concept of people being able to heal themselves without drugs defies the mission of big pharmaceutical companies, driven by profit margins and ever-larger sales figures.

And according to Dr. Lipton, “A minimum of one-third of all medical intervention is a placebo effect. That’s the result of positive thinking,” and not of drugs. The flip side to the placebo effect is negative thinking or the nocebo effect. “It’s equally powerful in regard to affecting your biology as is positive thinking, but it works in the opposite direction.”

Dr. Lipton explains that there is great resistance from the pharmaceutical company against this idea. Epigenetics requires a healing of the consciousness – and that is something the drug companies cannot sell for any price. The influence of the pharmaceutical companies is enormous, and so their refusal to accept epigenetics is the main reason many people have not heard of it, implies Dr. Lipton.

In fact, drug companies even determine the curriculum in medical schools.

Dr. Lipton goes on to explain that medications may not even be as helpful as we are led to believe: “drugs like Prozac, in a laboratory test, are no better than a sugar pill,” and “statin drugs help less than 3% of the people that take them; and, in fact, they cause side effects that are dangerous in about 23%.” On top of that, pharmaceuticals kill about 300,000 people a year. The question, then, is whether you need to take a medication in order to reap its intended benefit. The answer, according to Dr. Lipton, is no. “You have to change your consciousness because you already manufacture every equivalent of a drug right now.”

How to overcome The NOCEBO EFFECT and use your instincts to heal, feel, and thrive!

THE SPIRIT SCIENCE ALCHEMY – YOUR INSTINCTS and THE ELEMENTS

in·stinct noun plural noun: instincts /?instiNG(k)t/

an innate, typically fixed pattern of behavior in animals in response to certain stimuli. “birds have an instinct to build nests”o a natural or intuitive way of acting or thinking. “they retain their old authoritarian instincts” Similar: natural tendency inborn tendency inherent tendency inclination inner prompting urge drive compulsion need intuition natural feeling sixth sense second sight insight knows a natural propensity or skill of a specified kind. “his instinct for making the most of his chances” Similar: talent gift ability capacity facility faculty aptitudeBEYOND Your Gut instinct, your intuition, is your INSTINCTS and THE ELEMENTS!

The noun instruction is related to the word structure; both share the Latin root structus, “built.” The use of the word as we know it today appeared in the early 15th century from the Old French. Today it refers to the action of teaching and the job of a teacher. It can also be used to denote the directions themselves.

instinct (n.) early 15c., “a prompting” (a sense now obsolete), from Old French instinct (14c.) or directly from Latin instinctus “instigation, impulse, inspiration,” noun use of past participle of instinguere “to incite, impel,” from in- “into, in, on, upon” (from PIE root *en “in”) + stinguere “prick, goad,” from PIE *steig- “to p

Meaning “animal faculty of intuitive perception” is from mid-15c., from notion of “natural prompting.” General sense of “natural tendency” is first recorded 1560s. Instinct is said to be blind–that is, either the end is not consciously recognized by the animal, or the connection of the means with the end is not understood. Instinct is also, in general, somewhat deficient in instant adaptability to extraordinary circumstances. [Century Dictionary]

Because your instinct can be blinded and often is in childhood, you must learn about you and your body.

Your body is your instrument.
instrument (n.)

Your body is your instrument.
Its Instinct is to self heal!

directly from Latin instrumentum “a tool, an implement; means, furtherance; apparatus, furniture; ornament, dress, embellishment; a commission, authorization; a document,” from instruere “arrange, prepare, set in order; inform, teach,” literally “to build, erect,” from in- “on” (from PIE root *en “in”) + struere ”

late 13c., “musical instrument, mechanical apparatus for producing musical sounds,” from Old French instrument, enstrument “means, device; musical instrument” (14c., earlier estrument, 13c.) and directly from Latin instrumentum “a tool, an implement; means, furtherance; apparatus, furniture; ornament, dress, embellishment; a commission, authorization; a document,” from instruere “arrange, prepare, set in order; inform, teach,” literally “to build, erect,” from in- “on” (from PIE root *en “in”) + struere “to pile, build” (from PIE *streu-, extended form of root *stere- “to spread”).

The word in other Germanic languages also is from French. In English, the meaning “a means, an agency” is from mid-14c. The sense of “hand-tool, implement, utensil, something used to produce a mechanical effect” is from early 14c.

“Now usually distinguished from a tool, as being used for more delicate work or for artistic or scientific purposes” [OED]. The legal meaning “written document by which formal expression is given to a legal act” is from early 15c. Formerly also used body parts or organs with special functions.

You are an instrument of the Greater Mind -the Universe-when you understand the elements and how to be you!

If you cleanse the elements you’ll live a wonderful life. If you are beyond that, the best thing is to transcend, forget about living a beautiful life just transcend life because living a beautiful life is a more complex situation than transcending. Transcending means you’re beyond it. What’s beyond is not bothered by so many complexities of the physicality. But if you want to be in the physical and still above that then it takes little more mastery over the physical. If you have no mastery over the physical you will get enslaved to the physical. Right now how well organized the five elements are in your system decides how firm and stable and organically strong this body is. It’s just – the body is a play of five elements, so is the world, so is the universe. Everything is a play of five elements.

EARTH’S MAGNETIC SONG RECORDED FOR THE FIRST TIME DURING A SOLAR STORM

by European Space Agency

Data from ESA’s Cluster mission has provided a recording of the eerie “song” that Earth sings when it is hit by a solar storm.

The song comes from waves that are generated in the Earth’s magnetic field by the collision of the storm. The storm itself is the eruption of electrically charged particles from the sun’s atmosphere.

A team led by Lucile Turc, a former ESA research fellow who is now based at the University of Helsinki, Finland, made the discovery after analyzing data from the Cluster Science Archive. The archive provides access to all data obtained during Cluster’s ongoing mission over almost two decades.

Cluster consists of four spacecraft that orbit Earth in formation, investigating our planet’s magnetic environment and its interaction with the solar wind—a constant flow of particles released by the sun into the Solar System.

As part of their orbits, the Cluster spacecraft repeatedly fly through the foreshock, which is the first region that particles encounter when a solar storm hits our planet. The team found that in the early part of the mission, from 2001 to 2005, the spacecraft flew through six such collisions, recording the waves that were generated.

The new analysis shows that, during the collision, the foreshock is driven to release magnetic waves that are much more complex than first thought.Play00:0000:13SettingsPIPEnter fullscreenPlayThe magnetic waves measured by ESA’s Cluster mission in the magnetic foreshock above Earth – the first region of our planet’s magnetic environment that solar wind particles encounter – during calm space weather conditions. The video contains a ‘sonification’ of the magnetic waves in the undisturbed foreshock, obtained by transforming the frequencies of these magnetic waves into audible signals. In the undisturbed foreshock, the sounds are very low pitch and monotonous. Credit: ESA/Cluster; L. Turc et al. (2019); Audio: Martin Archer, Queen Mary University of London, CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO

“Our study reveals that solar storms profoundly modify the foreshock region,” says Lucile.

When the frequencies of these magnetic waves are transformed into audible signals, they give rise to an uncanny song that might recall more the sound effects of a science fiction movie than a natural phenomenon.

In quiet times, when no solar storm is striking the Earth, the song is lower in pitch and less complex, with one single frequency dominating the oscillation. When a solar storm hits, the frequency of the wave is roughly doubled, with the precise frequency of the resulting waves being dependent on the strength of the magnetic field in the storm.

“It’s like the storm is changing the tuning of the foreshock,” explains Lucile.

And it doesn’t stop there because not only does the frequency of the wave change but it also becomes much more complicated than the single frequency present in quiet times. Once the storm hits the foreshock, the wave breaks into a complex network of different, higher frequencies.

Computer simulations of the foreshock, performed using a model called Vlasiator, which is being developed at the University of Helsinki, demonstrate the intricate wave pattern that appears during solar storms.Play00:0000:13SettingsPIPEnter fullscreenPlayThe magnetic waves measured by ESA’s Cluster mission in the magnetic foreshock above Earth – the first region of our planet’s magnetic environment that solar wind particles encounter – during a solar storm. The video contains a ‘sonification’ of the magnetic waves obtained by transforming the frequencies of these magnetic waves into audible signals. During the storm, the magnetic waves in the foreshock roughly double their frequency and become more complicated than during calm space weather conditions, resulting in audible sounds that are around an octave higher and much more variable. Credit: ESA/Cluster; L. Turc et al. (2019); Audio: Martin Archer, Queen Mary University of London, CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO

The changes in the foreshock have the power to affect the way the solar storm is propagated down to the Earth’s surface. Although it is still an open question exactly how this process works, it is clear that the energy generated by waves in the foreshock cannot escape back into space, as the waves are pushed towards Earth by the incoming solar storm.

Before they reach our atmosphere, however, the waves encounter another barrier, the bow shock, which is the magnetic region of space that slows down solar wind particles before they collide with Earth’s magnetic field. The collision of the magnetic waves modifies the behaviour of the bow shock, possibly changing the way it processes the energy of the incoming solar storm.

Behind the bow shock, the magnetic fields of Earth start to resonate at the frequency of the waves and this contributes to transmit the magnetic disturbance all the way to the ground. It is a fast process, taking around ten minutes from the wave being generated at the foreshock to its energy reaching the ground.

Lucile and colleagues are now working to understand exactly how these complex waves are generated.

“We always expected a change in frequency but not the level of complexity in the wave,” she adds.

Solar storms are a part of space weather. While the solar wind is always blowing, explosive releases of energy close to the sun’s surface generate turbulence and gusts that eventually give rise to solar storms.Play00:0000:15SettingsPIPEnter fullscreenPlayThis movie from the Vlasiator computer model shows the foreshock above Earth – the first region of our planet’s magnetic environment that solar wind particles encounter – being engulfed by a magnetic cloud during a solar storm. The waves generally become much smaller, and so higher in frequency, than those arising during calm space weather conditions, and they break up into a much more complicated pattern, which contains many different frequencies. Credit: Vlasiator team, University of Helsinki

Understanding space weather has become increasingly important to society because of the damaging effects solar storms can have on sensitive electronics and technology on ground and in space. It is now more important than ever that we understand how space weather disturbances such as solar storms propagate through the Solar System and down to Earth, and ESA’s upcoming Solar Orbiter mission, scheduled for launch in February 2020, will greatly contribute to these investigations.

This new scientific study based on the long-lived Cluster mission provides another detail in that knowledge but it also has a larger role to play in our understanding of the universe. Magnetic fields are ubiquitous and so the kind of complex interaction seen in Earth’s foreshock may take place in a variety of cosmic environments, including exoplanets orbiting close to their parent star, as they would be immersed in intense magnetic fields.

“This is an excellent example of how Cluster continues to extend our knowledge of the sun-Earth connection, even years after the original data was obtained,” says Philippe Escoubet, ESA Project Scientist for Cluster.

“The results take us deeper into the details of fundamental magnetic interactions that take place across the universe.”

Biophotons are ultra-weak photon (light) emissions of biological cell systems. … Biophotons or particles of light, with no mass, transmit information within and between cells. The DNA in living cells stores and releases photons creating “biophotonic emissions” that may hold the key to illness and health. We are energy.

Biophotons are photons (light particles) that are generated within the body, and these could be measured as they emanate from the skin. Similarly, bioelectrons are available from within the body; these are measured in instruments such as electro-photonic imaging.

Biophotons as Subtle Energy Carriers

Introduction

Subtle energy research in Qi and prana is leading us into myriad labyrinths of scientific trails. Qi, the Chinese energy equivalent of Prana, is measured in acupuncture systems and its flow is directed for promoting health. We even know some of the channels through which Qi energy seems to flow. The channels are called Bonghan system, seen in some parts of the body.[1] Still, we are not sure what kind of physical energy flows through these ducts; is it electromagnetic or some particles that roll through these interlinking systems of channels? Although scientists have postulated laser-like electromagnetic radiations flowing through these links, it is still early to say if this is indeed the case in all acupuncture meridians.

In the tangible domain, two subtle energy carriers come to mind: biophotons and bioelectrons. Biophotons are photons (light particles) that are generated within the body, and these could be measured as they emanate from the skin. Similarly, bioelectrons are available from within the body; these are measured in instruments such as electro-photonic imaging. This aspect will be taken in a later presentation.Go to:

Biophotons

Bioluminescence is produced in living organisms such as fireflies and this should not be confused with biophotons. Bioluminescence is produced due to the presence of specific biochemicals in these organisms. The vivid colors emanating from these organisms are for attracting a prey or for species propagation. These biochemicals are not available in all organisms (for example, not in humans). Hence, bioluminescence is observed only in some species. Biophotons, however, are light particles that are generated within the body and are constantly radiated from the body surface. These spontaneous emissions are thought to be associated with generation of free radicals due to energy metabolic processes.[2,3] Since these dynamic metabolic processes are common to most living systems, it is likely all living beings give rise to biophotons. Further, these light emissions are extremely weak and hence cannot be observed by the naked eye. Detections of biophotons need special photon counters which are sensitive to pick up even a single photon in the environment.

In one experiment, photomultiplier tubes were used along with a charge-coupled camera.[3] Any stress to the skin in the form of exposure to ultraviolet radiation or cigarette smoke enhances the emission of biophotons while topical application of ascorbic acid or antioxidant solutions reduces such radiation. It is thought that studies of spontaneous ultraweak photon emission could be used for assessing aging in humans as well as for determining oxidative processes in humans.[3]

It is known further, that after practice of meditation, biophoton emissions from the body decrease; this could be due to reduced free radicals in meditating subjects.[4] Communication and control are two required activities within and between cells to maintain homeostasis. Normally, it is thought that both these functions are achieved through biochemical and neurological means. The coherent light source is now thought to be another arm through which both control and communication are achieved. This may be true especially in long-range communications in the body.[5]

Coherent biophotons as a control signal are proposed in acupuncture theory also.[6] Coherence is a property when the phases of the signals are related precisely as in a laser which gives the laser beam its unique properties. It is tempting at this point to think of biophotons as equivalent to Qi energy as modeled in Traditional Chinese Medicine or to prana in Ayurveda and Yoga. However, it is too early to draw this conclusion. Perhaps, there is a dynamic exchange between Qi/prana and biophotons; the photons in the body in their turn, take part in biocommunication and signaling. Since biophotons are a result of oxidative processes also, there could be complex interrelation between oxidative processes, biophotons, and Qi energy.Go to:

Conclusion

As early as in 1923, Gurwitsch, a Russian scientist, observed optical radiation during mitosis in onion roots and called it mitogenetic radiation. Modern biofield theory has extended this hypothesis to postulate electromagnetic interactions between cells for control and for information transfer. These have been called “nonchemical, noncontact cell-to-cell communication.”[7] Action at a distance was introduced in physics more than 150 years ago when Maxwell derived his famous electromagnetic equations. Now, the notion of action at a distance has permeated biophysics also conferring possibilities and problems in living systems that are more difficult to locate and measure.

It is known that oxidative stress is harbinger of many metabolic syndrome disorders.[8] This also seems to contribute to aging and related degeneration in the body. Hence, measuring metabolic syndrome through a consistent method is of importance. It is likely that biophoton emission is a fundamental process and its measurement could portend a stable method; however, measurement method itself is expensive and complex. It is possible that the photon measurements could be substituted or complemented with electron availability in the biosystems. This could become an easy and noninvasive method of measuring oxidative process in the body. This aspect will be taken up later.

While the problems of aging and oxidative stress are inherent in any living system, it is also possible to reverse these processes through practice of Yogaasanas and meditation. Work is also emerging in this area; if life style confers these problems obviously changing lifestyle and reversing and mitigating these degenerative processes is also possible.

That’s what DNA and proteins do. They fluoresce for a very short time and then rest for a very long time.” Backman, Zhang, and Sun discovered that when illuminated with visible light, the molecules get excited and light up well enough to be imaged without fluorescent stains.

As the Human Genome Project (NIH, 2003) ended in 2003, it was found out that only 1% of DNA sequences are translated into proteins (20 000 to 25 000 human genes). The remaining 99% of the genome has been qualified as Junk-DNA. It is in September 2012 that scientists suggested that over 80% of the genome serves some biochemical purpose, however without providing evidences (Pennisi, 2012). Recently biophysicists demonstrated the vibrating behavior of the Junk-DNA as the major source of ultra-weak light emission, also called biophotons. The aim of this article is to create a common ground for discussion about the mechanism of biophotons production by DNA and inter-organism communication by the mean of light.

Already in 1994 biologists and linguists from Harvard had fairly shown that Junk-DNA has all the features of human language. The nucleotide bases in the junk express all the features of syntax, semantic and grammar of a language (Flam, 1994). Recently Russian biophysicists expressed the belief in the vibrational behavior of the Junk-DNA. They introduced the term of wave genetics and demonstrated that living DNA will react to language-modulated waves, if the proper frequencies are being used (Garjajev, Crisis in Life Science, 2009) (Garjajev, Friedman, & Leonava-Gariaeva, Principles of Linguistic Wave Genetics, 2011). Other scientists even introduced the concept of quantum biohologram, promoting the idea that the nucleotide sequences in DNA are able to project a holographic image of biostructures (Miller, Miller, & Webb, 2011). Although this might sound like fiction, more researchers are looking more specifically at the junk-DNA, neuronal structures and biophoton emission because they offer much more legitimate explanations for the expression of consciousness (Grass, Klima, & Kasper, 2004). They found interesting that most molecules involved in mood reaction (tryptophan, phenylalanine, thyrosine) and hallucination (LSD, psylocibine, harmine) have strong fluorescence properties and therefore should interfere with biophotons.

Weak emission of light from cells in a living organism were discovered by the Russian embryologist Alexander Gurwitsh in 1926 (Gurwitsch, 1934), who called them mitogenetic rays. Half a century later, the German researcher Fritz Albert Popp, a Nobel Prize nominee in Physics, re-confirmed their existence and established the term biophoton. Popp experimentally demonstrated that up to dozend of photons of light are emitted every second from every square centimeter of area — equivalent to the intensity of a candle at a distance of about 10 kilometers (Bischof, 1995). Popp proved that biophotons emission is not confined to thermal radiation or bioluminescence. The existence of biophotons is now largely accepted by the scientific community.

After several independent studies demonstrated that living cells do not just radiate light, they also absorb light, scientists are now investigating the existence of a new form of communication using light. Such a cell to cell communication by the mean of light was first noticed by Gurwitsh in 1926 in onion (Gurwitsch, 1934). Later researchers postulated that some intracellular and intercellular communication should occur at the speed of light in order to make the organization of living processes possible. Biophotons could offer that supplementary signaling pathway next to electrical and chemical pathways for intra- and intercellular communication (Popp & Zhang, Mechanism of interaction between electromagnetic fields and living organisms, 2000; Shen, Mei, & Xu, 1994). We now know that photosensitive biomolecules of cells and neurons can absorb biophotons and transfer the absorbed biophotons energy to nearby biomolecules by resonance energy transfer, which can induce conformation changes and trigger complex signal processes in cells and between cells (Sun Y., 2010). Further evidence of distant communication between fish eggs in the synchronization of their development by the mean of biophotons was recently demonstrated (Mayburov, 2011). In the same horizon, some researchers even proposed that the brain would the ideal place for photonic communication to take place. Indeed hollow microtubules with constant inner diameter in the dark of human scalp could perfectly act as optical fibers for biophoton transmission within brain nerve cells (Grass, Klima, & Kasper, 2004). More scientists are now arguing that the role of biophotons in the brain merits special attention (Rahnama, Bokkon, Tuszynski, Cifra, Sardar, & V, 2011). They obviously found a significant relationship between the fluctuation function of microtubules due to biophotons emission and alpha-EEG. Simultaneously, researchers brought in vitro evidence of the existence of spontaneous and visible light-induced ultraweak photon emission from freshly isolated whole eye (Wang C, 2011).

Assuming that photonic communication really takes place in living eukaryotes, the role of the DNA is so far unclear. It has been suggested that the major source of biophotons is the DNA. The first supporting fact is that, cells emit biophotons even when the cytoplasm is damaged, however when the nuclei is removed, biophoton emission stops. Another supporting fact is that, ethidium bromide destroying the DNA also reduces the emission (Popp, Nagl, Li, Scholz, Weingartner, & Wolf, 1984; Popp, About the coherence of biophotons, 1998). Actually, red blood cells which have no active chromatine are the only cells which do not emit biophotons. The mechanism of biophoton absorption, storage and emission is however not well understood. Also the regions of DNA which are responsible of biophoton mechanism have not yet been elucidated.

Based on these research data, two questions arise:

Question 1: Whether and how noncoding DNA would affect biophoton emission?
Question 2: Whether and how biophoton emission would affect inter-organism communication?

 we talked about inter-organism communication by the mean of light. This could be another function of the non-coding part of the DNA.

The question whether we can link biophoton emission to some biochemical functions of the genome, in particular outside of the well-studied protein-coding regions, is a very challenging one. This is equivalent to considering the DNA and the genome as active biological lasers that emit an electromagnetic field in coherent quantum state when the organism is healthy. The emission is less coherent in case of diseases or malfunction. In order to study the question, we postulate the following hypothesis.

Hypothesis 1: A transfer function exists between the structure and mechanisms of the DNA and biophoton emission.

Such a transfer function would mathematically describe the relationship between resonance features of the DNA strands and signal characteristics of the observed biophoton emission. Empirically speaking, a model of the DNA should be developed, that exhibits geometrical features, electromagnetic wave generation and propagation as well as sequence information of nucleotides. (Blank & Goodman, 2011) provided evidences that the DNA is a fractal antenna. The biophoton signal should be modeled as a biological signal that exhibits describing properties such as wavelength, frequency, spectrum, statistical distribution of components and coherence. The hypothesis postulates that the mechanism of emission can be modeled as a transfer function between the DNA system and the biophoton observation, meaning that given a known set of parameters values related to the DNA, one can predict the characteristics of the biophoton emission with significant minimal error.

The hypothesis is testable by the mean of parameters identification tools borrowed from the control system theory. Given the genome of a subject and a record of his biophoton emission, one can fit the mathematical model (transfer function) to geometric, electromagnetic and wave features of the genome on one side, and to the wavelength, frequency, spectrum, and statistical distribution of components and coherence of the biophoton signal on the other side. Model fitting with experimental data is an optimization task during which the difference or error between the experimental data and the model simulation is minimized as much as possible. If a set of unique parameters is found, then the hypothesis is accepted.

The hypothesis is also falsifiable by experimentally showing that the DNA is not the major source of biophoton emission. If another source is found in the cell, which can strongly interfere with DNA emission of biophotons, than it will be obvious that the measured biophoton signal is a product of emissions coming from different senders. The refutability of the hypothesis can be proved by measuring biophoton emission on subjects where we know for sure that candidates for secondary sources of biophoton are present in great number. An example could be a subject with a high concentration of free radicals in the cell because it was suggested that biophoton emission increases with increasing free radical production. If we find that the parameters identification task produces acceptable results when fitting experimental data from the subject with free radicals with our model, then the hypothesis is rejected.

Hypothesis 2: human can be unconsciously affected by biophoton emission sent from another organism.

Mainstream science acknowledges inter-organism communication based on sensory physiology: somatic sensing, olfaction, taste, hearing, equilibrium and vision. The background provided in our previous post opened several questions regarding alternative forms of communication between individual of the same species and between individuals of different species. Living organisms may be exchanging information through biophotonic communication.

According to the communication theory, the basic elements needed would be a source, a sender, a channel, a receiver, a destination and a message. Rather than defining each element and speculating what it can be as done in (Grass, Klima, & Kasper, 2004), we postulate a hypothesis that is related solely to the receiver, as a human being. One reason is that optical electromagnetic waves emitted by the mean of biophotons are very weak signals with minimal frequency. As consequence, we may lack the technology to detect the full signal strength and frequency, despite the advances in photomultiplier techniques and high sensitive cameras. We might not being capable of technically measuring the whole message, although we know that there is a message, as research data have clearly shown. Of course it is also possible that our equipment are already detecting the signal in its whole strength and the observed low resolution is enough for leaving organisms to communicate, because they do it quickly and efficiently so the signals are short and simple, like a binary code.

Our hypothesis considers a particular case of inter-organism communication and postulates that human can receive biophotons that were sent by another organism and even react to them. The more the emission is coherent from the sender and receiver perspective, the clearer the information is transmitted. If it is true that human does not only receive and store biophotonic information at the molecular level, but also processes it, then a response should be observed at the organ level, and higher at the level of unconsciousness. Therefore the hypothesis is verifiable by the mean of modern medicine. As the hypothesis suggests an unconscious response, an experiment can measure the activity of the autonomic nervous system of a human receiver at the close vicinity of a biophotons sender. The vagal and sympathetetic nervous activity can be indirectly and noninvasively measured from common biological signals such as electroencephalogram, heart rate variability, galvanic skin response and even functional magnetic resonance imaging. The condition of coherent emission of the sender can be realized by selecting healthy organisms from different species that have passed a coherence test, i.e. their biophoton emission has a great degree of coherence. Examples can be human subjects who intensively practice meditation and healthy plants.

The hypothesis is also falsifiable by showing that all human, regardless of the coherency of their own biophotons emission, will react unconsciously as soon as they come to the vicinity of a biophotonic field sent by coherent or non-coherent sender. The hypothesis will also be rejected if a case is found where a coherent sender could not affect a coherent human receiver after several trials.

Origin

Middle English: from Old French abit, habit, from Latin habitus ‘condition, appearance’, from habere ‘have, consist of’. The term originally meant ‘dress, attire’, later coming to denote physical or mental constitution.

Habits! 

What is the relationship you have with your habits?

Are they habits grounded in your principles and support your highest expression?

Or are they “bad” habits that frustrate and annoy you as you clearly see how they are holding you back?

I want to share with you what I’ve learned about letting go of habits that no longer serve you so you can adopt new habits that uplift and support your journey!

• Are you feeling physically vital?
• Is your love life juicy and stable?
• Do you have friendships that are fulling and empowering?
• Do you know your purpose and are you taking steps to make it your vocation?
• Are you financially stable and creating wealth?
• Is your spiritual life a priority and not lost in distraction?

Join me for a group coaching call so you can take a deep dive into your habits and learn how to make them work for you and not against you!

Where do your beliefs and opinions come from? If you’re like most people, you honestly believe that your convictions are rational, logical, and impartial, based on the result of years of experience and objective analysis of the information you have available. In reality, all of us are susceptible to a tricky problem known as a confirmation bias—our beliefs are often based on paying attention to the information that upholds them while at the same time tending to ignore the information that challenges them.

Understanding Confirmation Bias

A confirmation bias is a type of cognitive bias that involves favoring information that confirms your previously existing beliefs or biases.

For example, imagine that a person holds a belief that left-handed people are more creative than right-handed people. Whenever this person encounters a person that is both left-handed and creative, they place greater importance on this “evidence” that supports what they already believe. This individual might even seek “proof” that further backs up this belief while discounting examples that don’t support the idea.

Confirmation biases impact how we gather information, but they also influence how we interpret and recall information. For example, people who support or oppose a particular issue will not only seek information to support it, they will also interpret news stories in a way that upholds their existing ideas. They will also remember details in a way that reinforces these attitudes.

Confirmation Biases in Action

Consider the debate over gun control. Let’s say Sally is in support of gun control. She seeks out news stories and opinion pieces that reaffirm the need for limitations on gun ownership. When she hears stories about shootings in the media, she interprets them in a way that supports her existing beliefs.

Henry, on the other hand, is adamantly opposed to gun control. He seeks out news sources that are aligned with his position. When he comes across news stories about shootings, he interprets them in a way that supports his current point of view.

These two people have very different opinions on the same subject and their interpretations are based on their beliefs. Even if they read the same story, their bias tends to shape the way they perceive the details, further confirming their beliefs.

The Impact of Confirmation Biases

In the 1960s, cognitive psychologist Peter Cathcart Wason conducted a number of experiments known as Wason’s rule discovery task. He demonstrated that people have a tendency to seek information that confirms their existing beliefs. Unfortunately, this type of bias can prevent us from looking at situations objectively. It can also influence the decisions we make and can lead to poor or faulty choices.

During an election season, for example, people tend to seek positive information that paints their favored candidates in a good light. They will also look for information that casts the opposing candidate in a negative light.

By not seeking out objective facts, interpreting information in a way that only supports their existing beliefs, and only remembering details that uphold these beliefs, they often miss important information. These details and facts might have otherwise influenced their decision on which candidate to support.

Observations by Psychologists

In his book Research in Psychology: Methods and Design, C. James Goodwin gives a great example of confirmation bias as it applies to extrasensory perception:

“Persons believing in extrasensory perception (ESP) will keep close track of instances when they were ‘thinking about Mom, and then the phone rang and it was her!’ Yet they ignore the far more numerous times when (a) they were thinking about Mom and she didn’t call and (b) they weren’t thinking about Mom and she did call. They also fail to recognize that if they talk to Mom about every two weeks, their frequency of ‘thinking about Mom’ will increase near the end of the two-week-interval, thereby increasing the frequency of a ‘hit.'”

As Catherine A. Sanderson points out in her book Social Psychology, confirmation bias also helps form and re-confirm stereotypes we have about people.

“We also ignore information that disputes our expectations. We are more likely to remember (and repeat) stereotype-consistent information and to forget or ignore stereotype-inconsistent information, which is one way stereotypes are maintained even in the face of disconfirming evidence. If you learn that your new Canadian friend hates hockey and loves sailing, and that your new Mexican friend hates spicy foods and loves rap music, you are less likely to remember this new stereotype-inconsistent information.”

Confirmation bias is not only found in our personal beliefs, it can affect our professional endeavors as well. In the book Psychology, Peter O. Gray offers this example of how confirmation bias may affect a doctor’s diagnosis:

“Groopman (2007) points out that the confirmation bias can couple with the availability bias in producing misdiagnosis in a doctor’s office. A doctor who has jumped to a particular hypothesis as to what disease a patient has may then ask questions and look for evidence that tends to confirm that diagnosis while overlooking evidence that would tend to disconfirm it. Groopman suggests that medical training should include a course in inductive reasoning that would make new doctors aware of such biases. Awareness, he thinks, would lead to fewer diagnostic errors. A good diagnostician will test his or her initial hypothesis by searching for evidence against that hypothesis.”

A Word From Verywell

Unfortunately, we all have confirmation bias. Even if you believe you are very open-minded and only observe the facts before coming to conclusions, it’s very likely that some bias will shape your opinion in the end. It’s very difficult to combat this natural tendency.

That said, if we know about confirmation bias and accept the fact that it does exist, we can make an effort to recognize it by working to be curious about opposing views and really listening to what others have to say and why. This can help us better see issues and beliefs from another perspective, though we still need to be very conscious of wading past our confirmation bias.

The Dunning-Kruger effect is a type of cognitive bias in which people believe that they are smarter and more capable than they really are. Essentially, low ability people do not possess the skills needed to recognize their own incompetence. The combination of poor self-awareness and low cognitive ability leads them to overestimate their own capabilities.

The term lends a scientific name and explanation to a problem that many people immediately recognize—that fools are blind to their own foolishness. As Charles Darwin wrote in his book The Descent of Man, “Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge.”

An Overview of the Dunning-Kruger Effect

This phenomenon is something you have likely experienced in real life, perhaps around the dinner table at a holiday family gathering. Throughout the course of the meal, a member of your extended family begins spouting off on a topic at length, boldly proclaiming that he is correct and that everyone else’s opinion is stupid, uninformed, and just plain wrong. It may be plainly evident to everyone in the room that this person has no idea what he is talking about, yet he prattles on, blithely oblivious to his own ignorance.

The effect is named after researchers David Dunning and Justin Kruger, the two social psychologists who first described it. In their original study on this psychological phenomenon, they performed a series of four investigations.

People who scored in the lowest percentiles on tests of grammar, humor, and logic also tended to dramatically overestimate how well they had performed (their actual test scores placed them in the 12th percentile, but they estimated that their performance placed them in the 62nd percentile).

The Research

In one experiment, for example, Dunning and Kruger asked their 65 participants to rate how funny different jokes were. Some of the participants were exceptionally poor at determining what other people would find funny—yet these same subjects described themselves as excellent judges of humor.

Incompetent people, the researchers found, are not only poor performers, they are also unable to accurately assess and recognize the quality of their own work. This is the reason why students who earn failing scores on exams sometimes feel that they deserved a much higher score. They overestimate their own knowledge and ability and are incapable of seeing the poorness of their performance.

Low performers are unable to recognize the skill and competence levels of other people, which is part of the reason why they consistently view themselves as better, more capable, and more knowledgeable than others.

“In many cases, incompetence does not leave people disoriented, perplexed, or cautious,” wrote David Dunning in an article for Pacific Standard. “Instead, the incompetent are often blessed with an inappropriate confidence, buoyed by something that feels to them like knowledge.”

This effect can have a profound impact on what people believe, the decisions they make, and the actions they take. In one study, Dunning and Ehrlinger found that women performed equally to men on a science quiz, and yet women underestimated their performance because they believed they had less scientific reasoning ability than men. The researchers also found that as a result of this belief, these women were more likely to refuse to enter a science competition.

Dunning and his colleagues have also performed experiments in which they ask respondents if they are familiar with a variety of terms related to subjects including politics, biology, physics, and geography. Along with genuine subject-relevant concepts, they interjected completely made-up terms.

In one such study, approximately 90 percent of respondents claimed that they had at least some knowledge of the made up terms. Consistent with other findings related to the Dunning-Kruger effect, the more familiar participants claimed that they were with a topic, the more likely they were to also claim they were familiar with the meaningless terms. As Dunning has suggested, the very trouble with ignorance is that it can feel just like expertise.

Causes of the Dunning-Kruger Effect

So what explains this psychological effect? Are some people simply too dense, to be blunt, to know how dim-witted they are? Dunning and Kruger suggest that this phenomenon stems from what they refer to as a “dual burden.” People are not only incompetent; their incompetence robs them of the mental ability to realize just how inept they are.

Incompetent people tend to:

• Overestimate their own skill levels
• Fail to recognize the genuine skill and expertise of other people
• Fail to recognize their own mistakes and lack of skill

Dunning has pointed out that the very knowledge and skills necessary to be good at a task are the exact same qualities that a person needs to recognize that they are not good at that task. So if a person lacks those abilities, they remain not only bad at that task, but ignorant to their own inability.

An Inability to Recognize Lack of Skill and Mistakes

Dunning suggests that deficits in skill and expertise create a two-pronged problem. First, these deficits cause people to perform poorly in the domain in which they are incompetent. Secondly, their erroneous and deficient knowledge makes them unable to recognize their mistakes.

A Lack of Metacognition

The Dunning-Kruger effect is also related to difficulties with metacognition, or the ability to step back and look at one’s own behavior and abilities from outside of oneself. People are often only able to evaluate themselves from their own limited and highly subjective point of view. From this limited perspective they seem highly skilled, knowledgeable, and superior to others. Because of this, people sometimes struggle to have a more realistic view of their own abilities.

A Little Knowledge Can Lead to Overconfidence

Another contributing factor is that sometimes a tiny bit of knowledge on a subject can lead people to mistakenly believe that they know all there is to know about it. As the old saying goes, a little bit of knowledge can be a dangerous thing. A person might have the slimmest bit of awareness about a subject, yet thanks to the Dunning-Kruger effect, believe that he or she is an expert.

Other factors that can contribute to the effect include our use of heuristics, or mental shortcuts that allow us to make decisions quickly, and our tendency to seek out patterns even where none exist. Our minds are primed to try to make sense of the disparate array of information we deal with on a daily basis. As we try to cut through the confusion and interpret our own abilities and performance within our individual worlds, it is perhaps not surprising that we sometimes fail so completely to accurately judge how well we do.

Who Is Affected by the Dunning-Kruger Effect?

So who is affected by the Dunning-Kruger effect? Unfortunately, we all are. This is because no matter how informed or experienced we are, everyone has areas in which they are uninformed and incompetent. You might be smart and skilled in many areas, but no one is an expert at everything.

The reality is that everyone is susceptible to this phenomenon, and in fact, most of us probably experience it with surprising regularity. People who are genuine experts in one area may mistakenly believe that their intelligence and knowledge carry over into other areas in which they are less familiar. A brilliant scientist, for example, might be a very poor writer. In order for the scientist to recognize their own lack of skill, they needs to possess a good working knowledge of things such as grammar and composition. Because those are lacking, the scientist in this example also lacks the ability to recognize their own poor performance.

The Dunning-Kruger effect is not synonymous with low IQ. As awareness of the term has increased, its misapplication as a synonym for “stupid” has also grown. It is, after all, easy to judge others and believe that such things simply do not apply to you.

So if the incompetent tend to think they are experts, what do genuine experts think of their own abilities? Dunning and Kruger found that those at the high end of the competence spectrum did hold more realistic views of their own knowledge and capabilities. However, these experts actually tended to underestimate their own abilities relative to how others did.

Essentially, these top scoring individuals know that they are better than the average, but they are not convinced of just how superior their performance is compared to others. The problem in this case is not that experts don’t know how well-informed they are; it’s that they tend to believe that everyone else is knowledgeable as well.

Is There Any Way to Overcome the Dunning-Kruger Effect?

So is there anything that can minimize this phenomenon? Is there a point at which the incompetent actually recognize their own ineptitude? “We are all engines of misbelief,” Dunning has suggested. While we are all prone to experiencing the Dunning-Kruger effect, learning more about how the mind works and the mistakes we are all susceptible to might be one step toward correcting such patterns.

Dunning and Kruger suggest that as experience with a subject increases, confidence typically declines to more realistic levels. As people learn more about the topic of interest, they begin to recognize their own lack of knowledge and ability. Then as people gain more information and actually become experts on a topic, their confidence levels begin to improve once again.

So what can you do to gain a more realistic assessment of your own abilities in a particular area if you are not sure you can trust your own self-assessments?

• Keep learning and practicing. Instead of assuming you know all there is to know about a subject, keep digging deeper. Once you gain greater knowledge of a topic, the more likely you are to recognize how much there is still to learn. This can combat the tendency to assume you’re an expert, even if you’re not.
• Ask other people how you’re doing. Another effective strategy involves asking others for constructive criticism. While it can sometimes be difficult to hear, such feedback can provide valuable insights into how others perceive your abilities.
• Question what you know. Even as you learn more and get feedback, it can be easy to only pay attention to things that confirm what you think you already know. This is an example of another type of psychological bias known as the confirmation bias. In order to minimize this tendency, keep challenging your beliefs and expectations. Seek out information that challenges your ideas.

A Word From Verywell

The Dunning-Kruger effect is one of many cognitive biases that can affect your behaviors and decisions, from the mundane to the life-changing. While it may be easier to recognize the phenomenon in others, it is important to remember that it is something that impacts everyone. By understanding the underlying causes that contribute to this psychological bias, you might be better able to spot these tendencies in yourself and find ways to overcome them.

Functional fixedness is a type of cognitive bias that involves a tendency to see objects as only working in a particular way. For example, you might view a thumbtack as something that can only be used to hold paper to a corkboard
