For many years, genes have been thought of as immutable: “You can’t change, it’s hereditary” was the mantra. But studies now show that genes are functioning and changing, every minute, every second. According to The Divine Code of Life, dormant genes have the potential to “wake up” and transform personality and outlook. The book shows how mental and emotional factors—negatives like stress and positives like excitement, joy, gratitude, and spirituality—are also involved in switching genes on or off. Drawing on recent scientific research and the author’s own observations, this book shows that humans can bring forth their talents at any age. How? Dr. Murakami argues that a positive outlook can turn on the genes that are necessary to bring happiness and success into anyone’s life and turn off the bad genes. He calls this process “genetic thinking”—a science-based approach to controlling the genes by cultivating enthusiasm and inspiration.

This book relates DNA and the genetic code toconsciousness as the universal principle of life. This is done through perception of seven pattern germsfrom DNA which are girdled into an archetypal model called the 'tree of life.' The symbols of the tree modelare logically related to the self, spirit, soul, psyche and body. How this new approach helps to understand the phenomenon of life in its integrated wholeness and cosmic totality is explained in this book. It heralds the dawn of a new science of life which translates theinnate mysticism of religions into the language ofscience. It provides novel keys to consciousness and creativity in relation to the transcendental horizon of the human being and the spiritual growth ofhumanity at large.
