Quotes about Junk

But when nothing is valued for what it is, everything is destined to be wasted. Once the values of things refer only to their future usefulness, then an infinite withdrawal of value from the living present has begun. Nothing (and nobody) can then exist that is not theoretically replaceable by something (or somebody) more valuable. The country that we (or some of us) had thought to make our home becomes instead 'a nation rich in natural resources'; the good bounty of the land begins its mechanical metamorphosis into junk, garbage, silt, poison, and other forms of 'waste.' "The inevitable result of such an economy is that no farm or any other usable property can safely be regarded by anyone as a home, no home is ultimately worthy of our loyalty, nothing is ultimately worth doing, and no place or task or person is worth a lifetime's devotion. 'Waste,' in such an economy, must eventually include several categories of humans--the unborn, the old, 'disinvested' farmers, the unemployed, the 'unemployable.' Indeed, once our homeland, our source, is regarded as a resource, we are all sliding downward toward the ashheap or the dump.

I propose we rename “junk” DNA potential DNA and understand it as the human organism’s ener-genetic interface with a higher-dimensional “life-wave” responsible for giving rise to a particular physical form through RNA transcription of DNA codes.

An alternative way to conceptualize what I am calling “rewriting” is to imagine that DNA contains a subtext resembling a series of footnotes that can be scrolled up onscreen. In this scenario, no rewriting or reprogramming is required. The program for our new and improved energy body already exists in what mainstream science has dismissed as “junk” DNA.

Leigh and I realized that if we were to activate what we saw as an extraordinary latent potential in DNA, one perhaps capable of transforming both consciousness and physiology we intuited along with a growing number of scientists including Lindsteadt, Horowitz, Gregg Braden and Bruce Lipton, we had to find or develop a way to access DNA without laboratories or test tubes. But how do you do that? How do you activate DNA without physically manipulating it?
