Epigenetics proves that Taoist medical knowledge is correct

You have all heard that Taoist believe that our negative emotions are stored as negative energy in our organs, and they can affect our health by interfering with organ structure and functions. You also heard that Taoist meditation can clear these negative energies and restore our health. You need proof for this? I present you Epigenetics.


What is epigenetics? Epigenetics is a study of inheritable biological changes that occur in living organisms, without any structural DNA changes. What epigenetics has discovered is that DNA gene sequence only defines a possible biological development. What actual biological development will occur is determined by a series of genetic switches or modifiers, which can switch a particular gene or gene group on or off. By switching genes on and off, these genetic switches can change the gene expression, or the way biological system interprets the biological blueprint that is DNA. These genetic switches are propagated from the parent cell to the child cell throughout the life of the biological organism. They can also be passed from one biological organism generation to next generation. Epigenetics says that it is our life experience, which changes these genetic switches. This means that every experience that we go through in life, and particularly very positive or very negative experiences, can switch out gene switches on and off. This means that our experience changes our physical body’s genetic information. Because these changes are propagated from cell generation to the next cell generation, these genetic switches form a kind of genetic memory. So our experiences do not get stored only in our brains. They get stored in every cell of our body. This stored genetic memory can be passed to our descendents. In the same way the genetic memory of our ancestors was passed to us. When I was a kid, my grandmother used to say: “All the bad things that you do in life will bring bad things to your grandchildren. They will suffer for your sins.” I remember wandering why grandchildren and not children. Now epigenetics is telling us that the epigenetic changes induced by experience will have their full blown effect not in our life, but in the lives of our grandchildren. Well done grandma.
There was also a man called Jesus, who went around telling people how it would be a great idea to be good to each other. Good deeds, have positive effect on our epigenetic switches. Being good to others, is good for you. What happened to the guy? He got crucified, and his “followers” committed some of the worst atrocities in his name. Is this world getting worst because of the accumulated bad epigenetic crap (or karma) in all of us?

If that memory from our past and our ancestor past can affect our physical and mental health and constitution then this opens up some very interesting possibilities:

Shamanic (and any other ecstatic) healing processes maybe have underlining epigenetic roots. What if shamans have ability to see or feel the energies that we are only discovering and measuring now, and by doing that can actually see the epigenetic structure of the body and genetic memories? Castaneda was talking about it. Maybe some psychoactive substances don’t create weird altered reality. Maybe they actually switch off the filters which exist in our mind and which prevent us from seeing the world as it is. What if in the real reality, those genetic memories can be seen as images, on normally completely ignored and therefore invisible wave lengths? What if those are the demons that cause illnesses by possessing people? What if then shamans can see what kind of emotion needs to be invoked, and in what particular sequence, in order to reverse the epigenetic switching that caused the condition in the first place? In order to reprogram the gene switching in such a rapid way, it would require very strong emotional shocks. Maybe this is why shamanic séances are always violent and ecstatic in their nature.

Taoists believe that all our emotions and all the emotions from our “past lives” are stored in our bodies. What if they are actually talking about epigenetic memories? If this is so, then maybe the rejuvenation and healing exercises and meditation, work on genetic switches, by going through a similar reprogramming process to the one done by shamans? After all the Taoist meditation is said to be able to "melt the negative and destructive emotions stored in our bodies". It is said that Taoist meditation changes every cell of our body, cleanses it and purifies it. Maybe what it does is resets all the genetic switches back to default? Maybe our soul is just genetic experience under another name, a collection of genetic memories that permeates our whole body and spans generations?

And so while modern science is trying to understand how the whole epigenetic stuff works and what to do with it, thankfully we have the old science, Taoist science. It tells us exactly how the thing works and what to do with it.
