October, 2008 The Quantum Connection Energetic Science Ministries In This Issue Article Headline Article Headline EPFX Forum The Definitive Resource Welcomes You! If you are a EPFX/QXCI/SCIO Practitioner, someone looking for a EPFX practitioner, a distributor of EFPX machines, a trainer, or someone that simply wants more information on the EPFX, introduce yourself here. Or, for a simple address to remember, just use: www.epfxforum.com   The EFPX is a quantum biofeedback device that has a practitioner base growing by leaps and bounds around the globe. There are a few ways for them to network with each other, share protocols, and communicate amongst themselves, however, most of these ways are NOT on independent forums, such as Energetic Forum, which is one of the fastest growing discussion forums on the web.   Recently, ESM and Energetic Forum have added a special Forum for anyone interested or associated with the EPFX! Energetic Forum has made, and will continue to add, useful documents, pictures, presentations, videos, audios and other media that will educate practitioners, potential clients and others on virtually every aspect of the EFPX! Check it out here!       The Science of Habit by Glenn Schreider When most people think of behavior, habits and character traits, they think of biology. Words that come to mind are heredity and genes. They think of sociology. Words that come to mind are upbringing, parenting, social influences, and environment. But how much of our behaviors, habits and traits come from biological origins and how much come from the environment in which we live?   Once upon a time, say more than 50-60 years ago, the generally accepted thought was that people were simply who they were because of their heredity and lineage. Once in a great while, someone was able to rise above their class, but they were always the exception, rather than the rule. Then in 1953, Sir Francis Crick published an article that explained the double helix nature of DNA and genes. He proposed that genes were the blueprints of our genetic makeup and our DNA contained all the information that defined exactly who and what we are. He called his theory the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology and it instantly became one of the most important sources of information in genetic research. (Church 31)   According to Robert Sapolsky, the belief of the Central Dogma Theory is based on two assumptions. "The first concerns the autonomy of genetic regulation; it is the notion that biological information begins with genes - DNA is the commander, the epicenter from which all biology emanates.  Nobody tells what a gene what to do; it's always the other way around. The second assumption is that when genes give a command, biological systems listen. Genes, the story goes, instruct your cells as to the structure and function. And when those cells are neurons, their functions include thought, feelings, and behavior. "Thus, the gene worshippers believe, we are finally identifying the biological factors that make us do what we do."  In this theory, environmental factors are not believed to play a part determining who we are and how and what we do. (42)   Unfortunately, once scientists and researchers began to actually investigate gene behavior and how genes actually work, they discovered anomalies that seemed to be incompatible to the Frick's theory.   One of the major anomalies of the Central Dogma theory, "is that the number of genes in the human chromosome is not sufficient to carry all the information to create and run the human body. It isn't even a big enough number to code for the structure (let alone function) of one complex organ like the brain. It also is too small a number to account for the huge quantity of neural connections in our bodies." (Church 31)   The Human Genome Project, started in the early 1990's, was initially created to map and catalog all the genes in the human genome. The original researchers expected to find about 120,000 genes, because that is the minimum number they projected it would take to code all of the characteristics of an organism as complex as a human being. Our bodies manufacture about a 100,000 proteins, the building blocks of all cells. The building blocks must be assembled just right in order to support life. "The working hypothesis at the start of the Human Genome Project was that there would be a gene to provide the blueprint to manufacture each of those 100,000 proteins, plus another 20,000 or so regulatory genes whose function was to orchestrate the complex dance of protein assembly."
