Life-Changing Event

"My research on stem cells back in 1967 revealed that genes did not control our lives, that it was the environment that was shaping our genetic activity. If you really ask me, I have two distinct lives on this planet, before the awareness of epigenetics and after the awareness of epigenetics. Before the awareness of epigenetics we were victims of heredity. I did not pick the genes, they controlled me. After epigenetics, the whole thing turned around and said, no, I am not a victim of the genes, I am a master of the genes. I wake up every day now going, thank God I am still alive on this planet, because the joy of recognizing I am the creator of my life, I am not the victim of my genes, changed my entire life. I wake up and I live in heaven, even in the middle of all crazy people. I am not buying into their world, I buy my own world, and I love it."
