Resistance to change starts all the way up to the level of the individual cell inside your body. It starts with what it needs are, and then the way it interacts with the brain and what imagery the brain formulates and the solution it releases. Now, the imagery the brain formulates is based on previous experiences. ….It begins with the perspective of the cell; the cell know where it is, where it’s going and what proteins it’s making, when it’s about to divide, when it’s programmed to stop dividing and knows what it needs are. The cell, in some sense, is the smallest unit of consciousness of the body. The time the cell has a need, it yells up to the brain: I haven’t got my fix today. And it starts sending impressions to the brain. The brain then starts to formulate imaginary. The brain starts to think of a reason why we have a certain need. It tries to figure out why we’re depressed, confused or hungry. The brain tries to offer a solution by going through our past situations and experiences and creates orders that offer the appropriate action to the solution.

The orders come from the neuronet in our brain. The neuronet is based on the experiences and information locked in there. We use a certain box of solutions to our life that cause chemistry to take place. In order for us to change the chemistry, thus the solution, we would literally have to change the neuronet. Which means we have to change our know-how, attitude and the way we interact with our environment. Every time we keep being the same person and keep experiencing the same attitude, all we’re doing is reinforcing ourselves as our identity. This is part of human nature; we try to maintain expressing old patterns for as long as possible, right until the moment of crisis.

So how does the brain formulate a solution? There is a part of the brain, called the hypothalamus, that is like a mini factory and it is a place that assembles certain chemicals that match certain emotions we experience. Those particular chemicals are called peptides. Simply said peptides match the emotional state we experience on a daily basis. So there are peptides for happiness anger, sadness, lust and about twenty more. There is a chemical that matches every emotional state we experience. And the moment we experience that emotional state in our body or in our brain, that hypothalamus will immediately assemble the peptide and releases it into the bloodstream. The moment they enter the bloodstream, the peptides will find their way to different centers or different parts of the body. Now, every single cell in the body has these receptors on the outside which are sensitive to these peptides. One cell can have thousands of receptors on its surface, with which it is kind of opening up to the outside world. When a peptide docks on a cell it is like a key going into a lock, sits on the receptor surface and attaches to it and send a signal into the cell.

Peptides come off and come back again. While they’re there, they’ll change the cell. A receptor with a peptide sitting in it sets off a cascade of biochemical events, some of which change the nucleus of the cell. With each cell being alive and having a sort of consciousness and it knows so by previous experiences.

These peptides are such strong chemicals that are so addictive that it becomes really hard to bring in something new into your life. (comfort zone) Situations are known which show that it is so hard not to meet the addiction of certain peptides that one will collapse physically before trying a different solution. This is also for example what stress does to our body, we becom e so addictive to the stress that we can’t quit our job even though it doesn’t serve us or we can’t leave a relationship because it doesn’t serve us. We can be stuck in the situation. We can’t make choices because the stimulus and responses produces the chemistry that clouds those choices.

What we do is to create situations that fulfill the biochemical craving of the cells of our body, by creating situations that meet our chemical needs. As in all addiction we keep begin stuck in old patterns, we want to be within our comfort zone for as long as possible. Only when the crisis is high enough, people will try the unfamiliar. Once taken the first step into the unfamiliar, that moment of insight carries a new message. And if experienced, a new concept emerges. The information processed will leave its footprints in the brain and a perception of the world can change.
