“In this time of powerful change, as many of our systems appear to be collapsing and the intricate elements of the web of life seem to hang in the balance, there is a new story emerging which calls for a true transformation in how we live and create in the world. Recently the UPLIFT team caught up with cellular biologist and author of Biology of Belief, Bruce Lipton, for a dynamic exploration of the challenges humanity now faces and the extraordinary, evolutionary opportunity we each have to play our part in creating a world that works!”
Every individual that changes their story is changing the vibrational environment in which we live. If we change our consciousness, we change the world. Step out of the old story and build a new story.
Watch the video conversation with Bruce and UPLIFT host, Chip Richards….
Read excerpts of the conversation….
Yes, BUT… Annita… didn’t get her surname from Bruce Lipton’s community didn’t manage to change her story before an out of body experience. Many people spend their lives looking for the equivalent, the turning point, something that would allow them to truly change their story – in vain. They resort to mushrooms, rituals, colonic irigations, starvation, shamans, …. and… nothing. Out of body experience cannot be ordered, but it happens to some people, and doesn’t to may others.
So maybe changing the story is not as simple as all that. Easy leaving the old job, but how to earn the money one needs (for one does need some) without it? Lose house because of nonpayment of mortgage or rent – easy. But where to live thence? Grow your own food? OK, but on what land? Not pay childcare costs? Insurance? Easy. But then what? Not paying for children education? Easy. But then what? It is especially difficult if one has dependants. If one is alone – maybe one can experiment. In fact, maybe people without children, or whose children have already grown up, need to trailblaze?
As a matter of fact I have left the old well paid job, because it made no sense to me and it felt like a waste of life. As I don’t have children, I have dared walk away and start looking for a way of living that does make sense to me. There were also health issues to be addressed, which I believed would right themselves as and when I start living in a way that is truly good for me.
But, this is what I found on my way so far: I live off savings, for 3 years now. I was lucky to have been saving money whilst I could, instead of spending them all on toys and trinkets that were becoming more and more fashionable. I was lucky to not measure the quality of my life by the number of outings in the restaurant, or number of luxury holidays – for I have never had a luxury holiday of the type one sees advertised, and I only rarely go to a restaurant and even then I am usually disappointed by the quality of food on ffer – that is because I enjoy preparing food myself.
So – I live off savings for 3 years now. I have various things in pipeline that should bring me income in the future, for I am a long way from retirement. These various things have to do with producing food without the use of chemicals, pesticides, hormones etc. This is not as easy as all that – as work in the fields is extremely physically demanding unless one has the use of machines. Trying to do without machines will teach one quickly why people invented them in the first place. It is also not possible to take the produce to the market without a vehicle of some kind. So, there still seems to be some need for fossil fuel – the way forward would be to use machines powered in some other way (solar, wind, hydrogen, whatever). So far I have not had to resort to chemicals of any kind. We had the most glorious strawberries last yet, and if I had seen them at the market I owuld not believe they were produced without chemicals – they were big and tasty and loking like form the magazine page. But they were completely chemical free.
My health has not righted itself, yet, though. My thinking is that I didn’t get to the bottom of what the problem of it was. Once I do that, it will shift. Keeping an eye on it daily, and hoping to be on the ball enough to spot the right signs at the right time.
Other projects are ongoing too. They involve looking into producing solar electricity, hydroelectricity, which again relies on investing from savings. We want to avoid borrowing from bank at all costs, as we feel that once one borrows, one is forced to then chase money in order to pay the loan off. And we don’t want to be forced to chase money, but instead, to be free to do the right thing even if it brings us less money. (Us=me and my partner). Then other projects involve renovating some buildings in order to provide holiday accommodation = lots of work, really hard work, stress and lots of money spent. Hopefully it will come back. Then one day we hope to organise courses and workshops of various kinds, to do with arty farty world (ceramics, woodworking, iron mongering) which would be good for people, and good for the environment. I do qi-gong classes in the village, free of charge. People report improvements in their health as a result, which makes me super happy.
But all this, and more, is in the pipeline. It involves savings, lots of, and years of hard graft, physical and other, before it is brought to a state that can be called agreeable. Stress comes form insecurity whether it would ever come off, whether it would work, whether it would provide us with enough income to live off, whether it would sort our health issues out. We don’t know. This should be the first year after we walked out that we should see some income. It is not going to be enough for basic expenses that we incur (bills, food, car), but it will slow down the bleeding of our savings.
Next year, maybe, we should break even – we may have enough to cover ourselves without relying on savings. That will be 4.5 years since we walked out of the office job. Majority of our earnings will be pollution free – save for transport, as we don’t have an electric car yet, or electric machines to help us lift, carry, cut etc.
But, we are lucky in that we had jobs that allowed us to save as much. Even so, I couldn’t say that we are home and dry yet. Still health issues. And we are getting older, so who knows for how long we’ll be able to do the hard physical graft that seems to be required.
But the major thins is, sometimes we wake up and it is an absolutely beautiful day, so beautiful, it almost drives tears to our eyes. And the birdsong has returned. They sing like there is no tomorrow for about 5 months a year. I am slowly learning what wild plants to eat, collect, dry. We are waiting patiently for our fruit trees to grow and begin to fruit. We drink water directly form the ground, we shower with source water and do everything in the house with source water – which we are extremely happy about, and grateful for. We feel all this makes sense. It feels insecure, which it is, and scary, which it also is, but at least we know that we are trying.
The aim is to live and not pollute. Earn our keep and not pollute. Do what makes sense, and what is good for us and the planet. Be well. Be happy. Spread the wellness and happiness. Leave no more trace behind than footsteps.
Once, when the time comes to look back, we will know that we have tried, and by that time it will be clear if we succeeded or not as well.
The title is intriguing as I also know that it is time to examine the stories under which we have lived.
For over 30 years I have been taught by Spiritual Beings beyond this world and dimension and through hundreds of conversation was told of the origin of our Greater Soul family’s beginnings. The Original Agenda that put us on this journey and the reason that we are here on this physical/manifesting planet , Earth.
What we need is not a new story. It is a remembrance of our Original story. It has served myself, clients and students as we leaped from the entrapment situations from our false stories into alignment to our truth.

Thank you, Yves, for that heartfelt, sincere and open sharing of where you are in the cycle. When we’re immersed in the cycle, whichever one it is, it’s hard to see beyond it. When it’s a cycle we’ve consciously chosen — one we consider more righteous than the one we left behind — it’s not so important what outcome might transpire. We’re living within our conscience. We’ve done what was required of us, and what we were most moved to do. We are absolved of earlier guilt, for having contributed to the pain and suffering of others, and for having believed that “success” was all that mattered, and for having trusted our mentors and followed the track set before us, to take advantage when possible, to get ahead when we could, to associate with those who would be a benefit to us. We’re better now, and we’re still getting better. That’s the key. There’s no such thing as perfect, but excellence is something we can aspire to. We can always be better. And (in my experience) health improves right along with our getting more closely aligned with what we believe in. Once every hour, or day, or week, we each encounter some way we could be better in the ways we respond in life, in the ways we pursue life, in the ways we relate to one another. When we pay attention to those special moments and make a conscious shift, Life gets better.
