Okay, so this is actually very simple. I had a bit of a moment of realization while listening to my AP bio teacher ramble on about cells.
All of our cells perform certain functions, certain jobs. And where do they get the information for them to do that? DNA. And what's inside DNA? Genes.

"A gene is a stretch of DNA that contains the instructions for making or regulating a specific protein. Genes that make proteins are called protein-coding genes. In order to make a protein, a molecule closely related to DNA called ribonucleic acid (RNA) first copies the code within DNA. Then, protein-manufacturing machinery within the cell scans the RNA, reading the nucleotides in groups of three. These triplets encode 20 distinct amino acids, which are the building blocks for proteins. The largest known human protein is a muscle protein called titin, which consists of about 27,000 amino acids. Some genes encode small bits of RNA that are not used to make proteins, but are instead used to tell proteins what to do and where to go. These are called non-coding or RNA genes. There are many more RNA genes than protein-coding genes."

If you haven't taken Biology, that probably sounded like a bunch of nonsense to you, which is understandable. Translating that to English: Our DNA has genes in it. Some genes make protein. Others tell protein what to do. There are more genes that make protein.

But isn't protein just like meat?

Nope!

"Proteins form the internal machinery within brain cells and the connective tissue between brain cells. They also control the chemical reactions that allow brain cells to communicate with each other. Certain genes make proteins that in turn make neurotransmitters, which are chemicals that transmit information from one neuron to the next. Other proteins are important for establishing physical connections that link various neurons together in networks."

And then there's this

"A genetic variation is a permanent change in the DNA sequence that makes up a gene. Most variations are harmless or have no effect at all. However, other variations can have harmful effects leading to disease. Still others can be beneficial in the long run, helping a species adapt to change.

Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP)
SNPs are variations that involve a change in just one nucleotide. It is estimated that the human genome contains more than 10 million different SNPs. Because SNPs are such small changes within DNA, most of them have no effect upon gene expression. Some SNPs, however, are responsible for giving us unique traits, such as our hair and eye color. Other SNPs may have subtle effects on our risk of developing common diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, or stroke.

Copy Number Variation (CNV)
At least 10 percent of the human genome is made up of CNVs, which are large chunks of DNA that are deleted, copied, flipped or otherwise rearranged in combinations that can be unique for each individual. These chunks of DNA often involve protein-coding genes. This means that CNVs are likely to change how a gene makes its protein.

Since genes usually occur in two copies, one inherited from each parent, a CNV that involves a single missing gene could lower the production of a protein below the amount needed."

Okay so keep in mind I'm currently failing biology so correct me if I'm wrong.

We would need something to somehow change the coding in our DNA, which will duplicate the cells and give them new uses. Gods I hope I'm saying that right. And what's that thing? Subliminals, and biokinesis. Subliminals are constantly repeating words to our subconscious mind, which convinces it that that's the job the cells need to be doing. Biokinesis I don't really feel like getting into right now. I hope that made sense and I'm going to get more into this later, this is just something I thought up in biology haha.
