It is important for us to learn perceptions, because perceptions are the responses to the environment that keeps the organism alive, which keeps our cells alive. If we weren't able to do this we could not react quickly in times of urgency or understand why you should not go out in the snow with only your underwear on. Our cells learn quickly and respond quickly to whatever is happening to and around us.
Science has also shown that you can take some of your cells and put them on a petri dish, move it miles away and the cellular antenna will still be tapped into the community. When you have an emotional response your cells respond the same way instantaneously.
Gregg Braden stated that living cells communicate through a form of energy not affected by time and distance. It is a non-local form, an energy that exists everywhere and all of the time.
Whenever we are exposed to a new environment, these perception molecules are created. We learn what we perceive it to be and create a new receiver. These perceptions are an array of signals that we group together to give meaning to something.
Our perceptions then set our beliefs and our beliefs select our genes because our genes are going to set the program to match the environment we perceive. The environment hits the cell membrane, like hitting a keyboard and there the perception of the environment is read and behaviours are activated.
