The Biology of Belief - Bruce H. Lipton [93]
Only as she was driving away did I realize the monumental nature of the task I was asking of her. Without formal training in cell biology and physics, Patricia accomplished miracles in downloading and understanding the New Science. In a very short time, she not only learned the New Biology, she was even able to expand on its topics. Her amazing skills at integrating, editing, and synthesizing information are responsible for the clarity of this book.
Patricia works on book projects and newspaper and magazine stories that focus on health issues, especially mind-body medicine and the role stress plays in disease. Her work has appeared in publications such as the Los Angeles Times, Southwest Airline’s Spirit magazine, and Common Ground magazine. A native of Boston, King lives in Marin with her husband, Harold, and their daughter, Anna. I am in deep appreciation and gratitude to Patricia for her efforts and look forward to the opportunity of writing another book with her in the future.
The Muses of the Arts: In 1980 I left academia and went “on the road” presenting a touring light show called The Laser Symphony. The heart and brains of our spectacular laser production was Robert Mueller, a visionary artist and computer graphics genius. Wise beyond his teenage years, Bob drank in the New Science I was working on, first as a student and later as my “spiritual son.” Years ago he offered, and I accepted, his bid to create a cover for the book whenever it would appear.
Bob Mueller is cofounder and creative director of LightSpeed Design, Bellevue, Washington. He and his company have produced award winning 3-D light and sound shows for science museums and planetariums around the world. Their edutainment show on the fragile ecology of our oceans was an honored presentation, seen by 16,000 viewers daily at the World’s Expo held in Lisbon, Portugal (1998). Bob’s creative endeavors can be sampled at www.lightspeeddesign.com.
Bob’s work, inspired by science and the Light, is beautiful and profound. I am honored to have his contribution as the cover art—the image that will introduce this new awareness to the public.
Muses of Music: From the conception of this New Science to the submission of the book, I have been continuously encouraged and energized by the music of Yes and especially the lyrics of their vocalist Jon Anderson. Their music and message reveal an inner knowing and understanding of the new science. The music of Yes speaks to the fact that we are all connected to the Light. Their songs emphasize how our experiences, our beliefs, and our dreams shape our lives and influence those of our children. What takes me pages of text to explain, Yes can say in a few powerful and poignant lines. You guys are great!
Regarding the physical production of this book, I sincerely want to thank the New York publishers who turned down the book proposal. Without you, I was able to create my own book—just like I wanted to do. I am indebted to Mountain of Love Productions, Inc. for investing time and resources into publishing this book. Toward that end, special appreciation goes out to Dawson Church of Author’s Publishing Cooperative. Dawson enabled us to have the best of both worlds, the personal management afforded by self-publishing and the marketing experience of a major publishing house. Thanks to Geralyn Gendreau for her support of this work and bringing it to the attention of Dawson Church. Dear friend and public relations specialist, Shelly Keller, has given generously of her time in providing professional editing skills.
Thanks to all of the students and attendees of my classes, lectures, and seminars who over the years persistently inquired, “Where’s the book???” Okay, okay, here it is! Your continued encouragement is deeply appreciated.
I would like
