Notable & Quotable:
"Although we outwardly acknowledge the possibility of ourrelationship to a higher power, is it possible that over time and through the struggle tosurvive, we have forgotten the meaning that such a relationship implies? If we believe thatour human family is the result of a 'chance' mingling of molecules that resulted in ourcomplex and intelligent species, then there is a sense that we're alone in the cosmos, andour survival may truly be based upon the strongest and fittest. If, however, we discover thatour global family has been 'created'--that we are the intentional product of a greaterintelligence--then the sense of our role in creation must also change. Perhaps new clues,such as those that we find by reading human DNA as an original language, may help usbetter understand the nature of our evolution. Ultimately, we may find that the answer to ourmystery lies at the heart of our genetic map."

DNA Variability, Holographic Blueprints & Life's SymphonyMike Adams
A
nnounced with great fanfare in late November of last year, scientists have discovered thathuman DNA is far more variable than previously thought. Contrary to previous beliefs, asmuch as ten percent of human genes vary wildly from one person to the next. Themainstream press is hailing the discovery as some sort of breakthrough that will shed lighton so-called "incurable" diseases and give researchers the ability to create more targetedmedicines. In reality, this new DNA discovery explains why most pharmaceuticals fail towork for most people.

More importantly, this discovery humbles us, showing us that even our top scientists knowless about human DNA than they once thought. Researching DNA is a lot like researchingastronomy: the more we learn, the less we realize we know. It's as if every newly discoveredfact unveils the existence of ten new questions we never even knew existed.The mainstream media, in its usual limited view, is reporting this discovery as abreakthrough that will help scientists develop new drugs to treat disease. Every "Eureka!"moment having anything to do with the genetic code seems to lead the media to the sameadvertiser-pleasing conclusion, but they haven't even begun to realize the big story here.The real news in this discovery, which has nothing to do with pharmaceuticals or evenmedical science, is larger and more profound than any of us could have possibly imagined.
Where Are the Missing Blueprints?
Until today, it was widely believed that individual genes directly controlled physical traits inthe human body (and even mental and behavioral traits, according to some). But now itturns out that a surprisingly large number of individuals have wild variations in their geneticcode, such as multiple copies of the same gene or even entire genes that are missing fromtheir DNA. And yet they're not walking around without a kidney, for example, or missing theirleft eyeball!It's all quite shocking and rather difficult to explain from a Western point of view in whichscientists believe that DNA is like a computer program containing sequential instructions forbuilding a physical organism. The truth is, there aren't enough genes in the human genometo even build a human being in the first place. A human has about 30,000 genes, yet anadult human has trillions of specialized cells governed by millions of different chemicalreactions. How do 30,000 genes control all this?Only a few years ago (2001), humans were believed to have 100,000 genes while all simplelife forms contained far fewer. But this assumption of humans being some "advanced" lifeform proved utterly false. It turns out that the mustard weed contains the same number ofgenes as humans, and even the common mouse has nearly as many. From certain types ofworms to common trees, there are many organisms on the planet that have very nearly thesame number of genes as human beings--and some have more!Even more surprising to most is the fact that human beings appear to actually be human-bacteria hybrids. We are not all human, in other words. At least 200 genes in our geneticcode were mysteriously borrowed from bacteria, we now know. Nobody is sure how they gotthere, but we are sure they exist.Furthermore, if we look at the composition of cells in the typical human body, and startcounting them, we realize that most of these cells are not human. It's a shocking statement,but entirely true. The vast majority of cells contained in the human body are bacteria cells--about 100 trillion of them for a typical human organism.In other words, most of the cells you walk around with you are not even you. The importanceof this is in understanding that the human organism does not exist in isolation from the worldaround it. Regardless of what we believe, we are all closer to nature than we think. In fact,we literally live with nature inside us, permeating our cells.
Epigenetic Factors
There is no mention of epigenetics in all this news about the human genome. Although littleunderstood by mainstream science, epigenetic factors control the expression of genes,

activating or deactivating them based on environmental factors such as nutrition or exposureto synthetic chemicals.Epigenetic factors are also inherited, passed from one generation to the next, meaning thatif one woman suffers from chronic nutritional deficiencies when she conceives a child, thedetrimental side effects of that nutritional deficiency will be passed down through multiplegenerations (at least four generations, according to Pottenger, but perhaps as many asseven according to others).So DNA is not the only archive of information passed from mother to child. Even if weunderstood everything about DNA, we would still miss the big picture unless we alsounderstood epigenetic factors--yet most old-school researchers and Western scientists don'teven believe in epigenetic factors, adhering to the outdated point of view that genes alonecontrol everything, and that all disease is predetermined, with environmental factors havinglittle or no effect.
The Human Genome Reflects the Patterns of Nature
Most Western scientists currently believe the human genome is effectively like a biologicalcomputer program--a series of instructions that tells the cells how to construct a completeorganism containing trillions of new cells. Of course, there's no real explanation as to how amere 30,000 genes could oversee the construction, maintenance and operation of such ahighly complex organism. As Francis Collins, director of the National Human GenomeResearch Institute, said, "It's astounding that we get by with so few protein-coding genes,but that seems to be sufficient because here we all are." It's hard to argue with logic likethat.Indeed, it does work. But not in the way Western scientists believe. My personal theory ofthe human genome takes special note of the multiple copies of many genes that have nowbeen observed across a wide spectrum of the human population. Some people carry one,two, three or even four copies of the same gene.If you look at nature, where else do you notice copies of the same information? Inharmonics, of course. A complex sound such as a single note on a violin is not made up of asimple square wave tone, but a highly complex harmonics which gives the violin its specialtone and timbre--a sort of auditory personality. On an oscilloscope, these harmonic levelsoften appear as copies of the same underlying waveforms.Such "overtones" are present throughout the human experience. Simple saying the word"we," for example, involves shaping the mouth and tongue into an arrangement that createscomplex, high-frequency overtones. The "ee" sound is the highest multi-frequency overtonesound created in human speech, but every vowel sound has its own unique pattern ofrepeating information. From low to high, the progression is "uuu," "ooo," "aaah," "eh," "eee."Physically, a human being is more like musical expression than a set of constructionblueprints. The human body has near-perfect symmetry and economies of expressionthrough fractal geometry that are quite evident in the structure of the circulatory system, forinstance, or the nervous system. Just look at a drawing of veins and arteries and you'llnotice the fractal patterns of geometry--the same patterns drawn in the underside of a leaf.The same is also true of human hair and skin cells. Every police detective knows that thehuman fingerprint is made up of readily identifiable patterns that are connected through asort of biological artistry. In any human fingerprint, notice the loops, swishes and curves thatgive strong clues to the underlying fractal geometry. Fingerprints aren't built with cellular
