I read Bruce Lipton’s first book about twenty years ago. I consider it one of the books that profoundly changed my view of the world and of life (read the article The book “The biology of belief” by Bruce Lipton).
In 2011, I heard that Bruce Lipton was coming to Italy and that I would have the chance to hear him speak in Bellaria, where a two-day conference was scheduled on his new book “Spontaneous Evolution“, co-authored with Steve Bhaerman. I still remember that weekend; it was an unforgettable experience. Bruce is a great speaker, and the message conveyed at that conference is wonderful. In the foreword to the 2020 Italian edition, Emiliano Toso brilliantly summarizes the essence of the book.

There are books that enter your life and never leave you. … Paradigms so authentic and profound that they integrate science and consciousness. … As you turn those pages, you find valuable lessons to apply in your daily life.
…We are living through a unique historical moment: all of humanity is facing a revolution that touches every aspect of our lives. In the social, political, economic, medical, educational, spiritual, emotional, technological, and communication spheres, human beings are being driven to reclaim their own responsibility, which for many years they have delegated to others. This era of great interconnection invites us … to behave like the cells of our body, so different and yet so integrated in creating the marvelous symphony of organs and tissues that we are.
… From conception to the Big Bang, Bruce and Steve take us on a journey of great wonder, great fascination, but also of profound awareness of what each of us can bring to Earth, in order to recreate the harmony that is innate in every one of our cells, in every particle of our being.

In “Spontaneous Evolution”, Lipton once again succeeds in speaking to us about spirituality by drawing on the observation and study of cells. He does so to show that all religions are rooted in a common ground—the very same ground that unites us through our biology and the universe in which we live. Lipton asserts that what appears to be a moral and religious precept is actually a biological principle consistent with the functioning of our cells, and thus constitutes the universal message found in the major spiritual systems around the world. Here are some religious quotes from the book¹:

• Christianity: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you; for this is the law of the prophets (Matthew 7:12)
• Islam: None of you is a believer until he desires for his brother what he desires for himself (Sunna)
• Hinduism: This is the supreme duty: do not do to others what you would not want others to do to you (Mahābhārata 5:15-17)
• Buddhism: Do not harm others by doing to them what you would judge harmful to yourself (Udana-Varga 5.18)
• Confucianism: Do not do to others what you would not want done to you. Then there will be no resentment toward you, neither in the family nor in the state (Analects 15:23)
• Judaism: What is repugnant to you, do not do to your neighbor. This is the entire law: all the rest is commentary (Talmud, Shabbat 31a)
• Taoism: Consider your neighbor’s gain as your own gain, and your neighbor’s loss as your own loss (Tai Shang Kan Yin P’ien, 213–218)
• Zoroastrianism: Since only Nature is good, this restrains one from doing to another anything that is not good for oneself (Dadis-ten-I-dink, 94:5)
