Choose Life! Death is a lie we have been taught to believe. We all have this belief that… “we all must be born and we all must die”. This is a false program that has been running in our world and passed down from generation to generation.
We do not have to participate in it, let me tell you why…
We ALWAYS have a choice. You are not a victim. You are not your DNA nor subject to it.
Our agency is the most guarded and honored gift we have. For the benefit of this information I am going to give you the science side and the religious side. This way, different types of people can have the information they need to understand and for me to explain this from both perspectives.
Choose Life: The Science Side
Science in the last 10-15 years has been changing the way they look at cells. They are changing what they know about DNA and how the cells function because of new tests being done. The textbooks in the future are going to be rewritten from what we grew up learning in school. That is the way it should be right? It means we are growing and learning!
Our cells are programmed to reproduce and replicate perfectly. We are not victims of our DNA passed down from our parents. We always have a choice. If our cells know how to replicate perfectly, then they would never break down and die. This breaking down of our cells brings- wrinkles, grey hair, aging body aches, disease and death.
What is getting in the way of them being able to do their job perfectly?
Us! It is totally us. Particularly our environment but mostly how we react to and perceive that environment. The beliefs you come to based off of your experience and what you tell yourself. Remember how I said we always have a choice? Our choices and beliefs play a big part in how our cells age. We always have to point the finger back at ourselves, right? Take ownership. So, if you can change what you believe and what you tell yourself and get out of the way, your cells will follow. If you have not read the post: Our DNA and Beliefs, that post lays more of a foundation for this post and I would go read that one as well.
Okay, that is the REALLY short version
You will start to get the whole picture when you watch this TED talk. You know I love TED talks. This is a short 15 minute talk from Biologist Elizabeth Blackburn, who shared a Nobel Prize for her work on telomeres, the protective caps on our DNA that play a big role in how our cells age.
Is that not AMAZING? It is so cool in the way we learn things and how she came to find out why the cells degrade.
I do want to add something right here:
I am not saying that death does not happen, and if it does it is all our fault because of our beliefs. Sometimes it is part of our journey for the learning and growth of ourselves and others. I do still believe we had a choice though. We chose how we wanted this lifetime to go, based on what we needed to learn and sometimes death came into play, but we chose it as part of our plan.
What I am saying with this information there is a message of hope. We are not prey to death in this life as we have been taught. That being: “we all are born, and we all must die” theory. I believe you can live a long and healthy life, and that your beliefs have a lot of power over how you age and how healthy you are. I am saying… simply, that there is a choice. A choice that we have not been taught by the world or have known before.
Choose Life: The Spiritual Side
Let’s back up science with what spirituality has been saying for centuries:
We are first made as spirit beings, then made physically by two mortal parents. Thus, we have two sets of DNA inside of us. Which one you decide to give power to, is the one that will manifest and govern your life. We are born into a world of death and destruction. One of the main reasons we are here, is to rise above it. Being born from mortal parents brings about the red blood and weaknesses of the flesh, one of those weaknesses is death. On the other side, is a perfect, golden DNA blueprint that is godlike. Without disease, weakness and death.
If we choose to go through the process of reversing our weak natural man DNA and our beliefs, death is also reversed. The aging process is greatly slowed, and health is restored, and living without disease. There are several examples in scripture of men and women, showing and telling us of this process since time began. Here are some examples to think on:
The first example of this is Adam
The first man Adam was a perfect spirit being. With Eve, he was given a choice of life or death. They being deceived and choosing death (the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil or Judgment), got changed from a spirit being to a carnal being and fell. (Genesis 2:17)
Satan the father of lies brought death and decay into this world. He brought fear into this world, fear of death. The wrong beliefs that Adam and Eve believed in, changed their cells and manifested those lies. Believing in death is believing the lie, the definition of sin is believing in lies. Living by the flesh brings about death, but there is another way… Romans 8:11-13:
11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
Adam and Eve reversed this process first. After they fell they worked their way back. They made a different choice, and obeyed what they were told to do and became spirit beings once again. This is only done through Christ who reverses and teaches a different way.
We do not have to believe in death. If the tree of knowledge brought about death- Genesis 2:17:
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Then in order to reverse this, we need to partake of the Tree of Life and LIVE
Genesis 3 :22
…and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
Follow the same process Adam and Eve did. This same process that Jesus did. Enoch and Melchizedek and all the people in the cities followed this process, also Aseneth the wife of Joseph, and so many others. Look at all the scriptures that have been saying this the whole time.
Luke 20:38
God is a God of the living, not the dead
Exodus 20:12
Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
One layer of meaning to this commandment, would be your earthly parents. If you were to look at this scripture with another view, that of our Heavenly Parents, then it seems another meaning appears. For they are the ones that give everlasting life. Here in this scripture it separates earthly from Heavenly Parents:
Here is more in scripture talking about living
Ephesians 6:1-3
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
2 Honour thy Father and Mother;
3 That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
John 6:50-51
50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
John 11:26
26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
Proverbs 9:11
…For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.
This process is summed up also by Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:45-56
45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
It is your choice! Choose Life! Live by love and not by fear. Change your beliefs and you will change your cells. Other posts will go more into detail about DNA strands, how to exactly change our beliefs, and much more. There are spiritual and other types of deaths we suffer in this world, but we do not have to accept the physical one.
A note from me: choosing life also means taking good care of your body, and that includes working with your doctor when you need to. Believing in life and getting care go hand in hand. You can learn more about Elizabeth Blackburn’s telomere research on the Nobel Prize website.
