According to epigenetics, gene expression changes when cells are exposed to a different environment (thoughts, beliefs?), without changing the gene. Foods are known to alter the epigenetic of rats and mice on different diets, and can change their weight, fur color, and propensity to grow cancer.

We are not slaves to our genes, and I think that this explains the mechanism by which we create, in "scientific" terms. We alter the expression of of our genes, by the environment we place them in. This is a very simplistic explanation of epigenetics, Bruce Lipton has some good books on this topic.

Yes it does. It's more so just a reflection though of where you are at the current time you are looking at your own hand. Palmistry has been one of the few things I've always been very interested in ever since as a kid. I've read so many books on it. As a kid and even up until my mid 20's I would read my sister's, friend's, and even past girlfriends' hands and would be able to see things that was very accurate. What was interesting though is that some of them I remember after reading their palms in another year, or maybe even months later would have changes, in the lines.

This was very interesting to me because whenever this occurred it always was after they had gone through a lot of changes, or after how I saw them grow as a person through some heavy times. I remember trying to see if mine would change too one day like my sister or one of my close friend's.

To sum it up and not make this post turn too much into a huge essay of text, it did occur to me as well, when I came to a major fork in the road decision of my life. I remember after I had decided to make a major life change in moving back to California to stay for a while, a few of the lines faded away completely and some shifted into other directions. I thought that was very very interesting. Of course, a lot of the ones that I truly cared about such as the lines regarding relationships and future children stayed perfectly the same.

as of how much i have read and learnt and understood: Frankly the most important thing in life is to stay connected to Source energy in the NOW right now. And lead your life from here. Then all your decisions, behaviors and actions will be most aligned. whatever in life you want you can work it from this NOW.

for me these other topics are more of entertainment and curiosity sake for knowledge etc. but i would not attach any too much importance esp. if the lines suggest something thats not what you want. Also the lines change with time so there is nothing pre-destined there.
