If you could give everyone in the world an experiment to do for 30 days, one activity that they'd have to do every day for 30 days, what would it be? Oh, I would ask them to take out a piece of paper and write down every thought that they've been thinking that's standing in the way between their future and and where they are. Write down every habit or behavior, even how they speak that stops them from becoming the person that is healthy, wealthy, or free. And then to begin to recognize the emotions that keep them in
the same state of being every single day and become so conscious of those thoughts, behaviors, and emotions that they wouldn't let any of them slip by unnoticed by them. Then I would have them write down the thoughts they do on a fire and wire in their brain. I would have them write down what the behaviors look like of a great person that they wanted to become. And I would have them practice thinking about it and practice rehearsing it. And then I would say to them, what emotions would you feel when your future happened? Cuz you
have to teach your body emotionally what that future feels like before it happens. And every day if you practice that diligently and sincerely and just become conscious of who you no longer want to be and keep becoming conscious of who do you do want to be that surprises you and leaves no doubt that it's come from a greater mind, then you'll be inspired to do it again. And now we believe we're more of the creators of our lives and less of the victims of our lives. Need motivation? Watch a top 10 with Believe Nation. Hey,
it's Evan Carmichael and I make these videos because you are probably the most ambitious person in your circle, but you know you're capable of more and you get that push by surrounding yourself with the best. So today, let's learn from one of the best, Joe Despensza, and my take on his top 50 rules for success. Enjoy. If you said, "Well, listen, I'm not going to wait for my healing to feel gratitude. I'm not going to wait for my new relationship to feel love. I'm going to actually teach my body emotionally what that future feels like
before it happens. Now, this is a big turnaround for a lot of people because we're so reliant on the outer world to change our inner world, right? Waiting and postponing. Waiting is not creating. I mean, period. And when people are they could have the greatest intentions in the world, but if they don't combine that with an elevated emotion, there's no signal because the elevated emotion is the carrier. It's the energy that carries the thought. So then when we're in separation, in lack, waiting for our wealth to feel abundance, we're basically living our whole life in
pain, right? M so then if you reason this and a person can get up from their meditation and they literally feel differently and they're feeling the emotions of their future before it happens. This is turning the the whole process around. They can't be looking for it. Why would they be looking for it if they felt like it they it already happened? Now there's no separation. Now this is when those serendipities and coincidences and opportunities begin to show up in people's lives. So it's work, but then when they start seeing the experience in their life, all
of a sudden they start believing they're more of the creator of their life and less of the victim of their life. With a community of likeminded like like similar energy of of people, uh everybody understands they get one another. you know, you you community tends to be the thing now that in terms of our uh social media and and the feedback we're getting, everybody wants more community because you get a you get a thousand people in audience and their energy synchronized. Now, you're looking at something so much bigger. We're just going to measure this. I
just talked to a researcher yesterday. We're going to measure a thousand people when they reach that synchronized moment when they're we can we know that the entire social coherence in the room is orderly. Then if you're producing a ambient coherent magnetic field in your heart and you're tuning into a thought or an intent and you got a thousand people doing that and your energy is going to start interfering and co-mingling with the persons next to you. When that energy starts to synchronize, it's going to produce a bigger wave. The higher the amplitude, the higher the
wave, the more energy there is. So now you have one mind and one heart. And now when it comes to healing others, and we've done the research on this now, and we're collecting the data that we're teaching people how to administer a change in energy in the person that's laying there because it's not matter that emits a field. That's the wrong way to think about it. It's the field that creates matter. You change the field, you change matter. You're not it's not your job to change the tumor. The tumor is the illusion. It's the pattern
in the field that's that that has to be changed. So once people start reversing this, then you start seeing the tumors disappearing. You start seeing blind people seeing, deaf people hearing. You start seeing people with Parkinson's disease switch on. I mean, you start seeing stage four cancers reversing because now they're you're you're you're swimming upstream. You're going to the headarters and making that change. It's so important then that of the infinite places you can put your attention. Let's put it on your heart. Now, where you place your attention is where you place your energy. Why?
Cuz we want this center to bloom. 1,400,300 different chemicals that restore and regenerate the body. Let's breathe. Let's open this up. Let's practice this. Let's start learn how to lead with our heart. A different consciousness. Yeah. In the beginning, it's a little difficult, but you stay with it and you practice it pedal by petal by petal, placing your attention there, you're putting your own life force back into your heart. You're turning your love inward and the body will start responding. And in a week's time, if we're doing that three times a day or over and
over again, sooner or later, that thing is going to start blooming. And just like when your sexual organs are aroused and they're engorged with blood, this center when you start feeling love, you make a chemical called oxytocin. Oxytocin signals nitric oxide. Nitric oxide signal signals a chemical called derived endothelial relaxing factor. You know what that is? It causes the arteries in your heart to literally open up. So your heart is going to be filled with blood and oxygen and nutrients. It's physiological. It's going to feel full. You're going to have a heart on in a
sense. Your heart is going to fill, right? And when that happens, you experience a level of love that passes all understanding. You your cup runth over. I mean, it is. And people are in they're sobbing because they realize that this this center finally like a child. Also, to make sure you're actually taking action after watching this video, I've designed a special free worksheet just for this video. The worksheet will highlight all of the lessons learned in this video, as well as pull out our three favorite learnings and quotes that will inspire you to actually do
something. The worksheet will also give you space to write down what your key takeaways are and your specific plan of action to make sure you're getting results. If you want the worksheet designed specifically for this video absolutely for free, there's a link in the description below. Go click on it and start building the momentum in your life and your business. I'll see you there. I think we're all faced with great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations and in order like for me personally and I and after looking through your book and reading a good portion
of it I mean for me there's there's no school of ancient wisdom that you need to go to to be initiated. Your life is your initiation if you're paying attention. So we meet challenges in our life from a certain level of mind right a certain level of consciousness or unconsciousness and even Einstein said we have to go to a greater level of consciousness uh than the consciousness that's created the problem what is consciousness consciousness is awareness and awareness means possibilities that you haven't thought of before so we we confront problems or challenges in our life
and as a side note I was having breakfast with a researcher just last week who's studying what happens when we perceive a condition in our environment as a problem, how it weakens the organism. They're measuring this. And when a person sees it as a challenge, how they draw energy, they they raise the energy of their body back into order. So if we said, I want to be wealthy or I want to be healthy. Well, what you want to be that because you're not it. So the initiation of going from not it here to it here,
you're going to have to climb some steps and there's going to be some blind spots. So you try it out and it doesn't work. Well, that's because there's a part of you that's still in a habit. There's part of you that's still unconscious. Okay. So what is it about myself in that circumstance that I am feeling about that circumstance and that feeling is causing me to think about it? So you say, "Oh, it's impossible. They'll never change. I'll hire a hitman. I'll hire the mafia. I'll hire an attorney. I'll my friend's friend to talk to
him." And nothing changes, right? Well, you're not you're not separate from that experience. You're involved in it. And how you think and how you feel broadcast energy into the field. So your energy is the same every day. And as long as your energy is the same, nothing's going to change in your life either. And nobody changes until they change their energy. So then what piece of knowledge, what piece of information, what would love do, what would greatness look like? Okay, I don't know. All right. Well, certainly somebody in history has faced this problem. Don't get
on Facebook and say, "Does anybody have any answer?" Don't get go look it up and study and read and learn. You'll own it and you'll say, "Wow, that person that was wealthy, they failed 500 times." Well, hell, I had the wrong view of wealth. Okay, then failure is not a thing. I got to overcome failure. Well, yeah, just climb the step. Okay, I'm reacting to that circumstance with the same emotion. That emotion is firing the same thoughts. I'm broadcasting the same energy into the field. If I were facing that circumstance and situation again with that
person, that circumstance, what do I learn from that circumstance? How could I do it differently the next time? M find out a solution and rehearse it. Install the circuitry. So when you get in the circumstance, you're not going to respond in an automatic habituation. Now you're at a greater level of consciousness. Now you're looking at possibilities that you weren't looking at before because you were unconscious. Now that process of trial and error is so important in the spiritual path. How many times do we have to forget before we remember? And then we remember and we
forget again. And it takes constantly remembering until we stop forgetting. And when we get to that point, now we're conscious. Now there's wisdom. And wisdom is the memory of the experience without the emotional charge. Now you're ready for the new adventure. So then people draw conclusions and say, "Oh, it's that person that ripped me off. It's that person that that what now? Now you don't create your reality. You only create your reality when things are good. No. Well, somehow you got to tango through this. Somehow your objectivity in not reacting emotionally is going to change
the energy of how you address this situation. Consciousness is awareness. Awareness is paying attention and noticing. And so 95% of who we are by the time we're 35 years old is a set of unconscious automatic programs that we've just practiced so many times that we're not consciously thinking about those. So in order for you to change to answer the initial question that you asked. The first step is you got to become conscious of your unconscious thoughts. And you got to you got to start looking at those hardwired thoughts that that you think every day that
are just circuits that have been fired and wired together. How do we do that? Should we write a list at the end of the day or what are the most common thoughts we have that day? Like how does someone become aware? You don't have to do that. You just have to sit down, close your eyes, and not move. And then you'll get you'll you'll start seeing what am I thinking about right now? Yeah. And all you want to do is observe the thought. Because when you begin to observe that thought, you're no longer the program.
Now you're the consciousness observing the program. And you're starting to pull out of the program. Thinking about the thinking. Yeah. Who's doing the thinking of the thinking about the thinking? That's who you are when you're not the program. That's awareness, right? You got to become aware of how you speak, how you act. become so conscious, so aware of it that you won't go unconscious and let that thought or that behavior run you. You got to say, "Oh my god, this feeling that I've been living by for the last 20 years is actually guilt. I didn't
know it was guilt cuz it just feels like me." And all of a sudden, as you start becoming conscious of it, you're beginning to objectify your subjective self, you're you're pulling out of those programs. And nobody likes to do that cuz it's uncomfortable. they'd rather turn on their cell phone, start texting, get on the internet, uh, you know, watch TV to distract them from that moment. And that is what they have to move through in order to get to their to their own personal freedom. So the first step is becoming conscious and meditation means to
become familiar with to become conscious of to to become so conscious of your unconscious self that you won't go unconscious to any thought any behavior or emotion and get ready because it takes a tremendous amount of energy to do that and awareness to stay conscious and so we fall from grace. Yeah. Fine. You got you got you're awake. You got another day. Let's go again. How often do you fall? Oh my gosh. I mean, how many times have I done it? Thousands. But I'm not going to give up because the moments in which I do
connect or the moments that I do have that transcendental experience, what matters the most after it when I have that transcendental moment. I look back at all of those difficult meditations, those difficult days. And those are the ones you remember. You don't remember the good meditations. You remember the ones where you came up against yourself and you went a little further and you said, "I'm going to go a little further. I'm going to go a little further." Or you had a rough day and you just went in and you just you at the end of
the day you surrender and you have the classic oh my god moment. There's no linear correlation. It's just whether you're willing to live in creation instead of living in survival. And so um you get better at it. You know, we just get better at it. And and for me, um, staying conscious and staying aware and staying present is an art because you you know when someone's present with you in your life cuz they're paying attention to you. You know when they're not present with you cuz they're not paying attention to you. So imagine this field
of information, this this this intelligence that lives within you and I that's governing everything material in this world. It's a self-organizing intelligence. You have access to it. So you better get present with it. Mhm. as well as you can get present with anything else. And just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. That that that realm you can't experience with your senses. You can only experience with your awareness. So then people have to take their attention off their bodies and go from a somebody to a nobody. Take their attention off the people
in their life and go from that they identify with and go from a someone to a no one. take their attention off the things in their life, their cell phone, their computer, their car, and go from something to nothing. Take their attention off where they sleep, where they work, where they're sitting, and go from somewhere to nowhere. Take their attention off the predictable future and the familiar past and time, and go from sometime to no time. And now, if you're taking all of your attention off of everything material in this three-dimensional reality, now there's only
one other thing that's left. That means you're in awareness, your consciousness. And now, that is the bridge. That is the door to the quantum field and you can't enter the quantum field as a somebody. So if someone has spent their whole life working on having the perfect body or so much so they have so much attention on their pain where you place your attention is where you place your energy. It's going to take some work for them to take all of their attention off their body, right? Cuz they'll go they'll do it and then they'll
go back. Let's see if the pain's still there. Oh, the pain's still there. So it's a little bit of a wal in the beginning, but as people start applying this, you start getting better at it. Let's demystify meditation because it has so many stigmas around it. Close your eyes, retreat from your life, disconnect from your body, disconnect from your environment, disconnect from your schedule, and just give yourself an hour or 45 minutes or 20 minutes. Because when you invest in yourself, you invest in your future. And when you believe in yourself, you believe in possibilities.
And when you believe in possibilities, you believe in yourself. And if you don't believe in possibilities, then you don't believe in yourself. And you don't believe in yourself, you don't believe in possibilities. So then, but if you have a community, a living organism where it's becoming the new normal. Yes. You want to join that living organism and you want to you want to be a part of that and and every every stride you make feeds the living organism. every stride, every effort you make uh to connect is is amazing because that which we are seeking
is seeking us. It's not like it it is it it matches our efforts. And so then when when people have that uncompromising will the same way that they go shopping for a dress or a p pair of earrings or go to the gym and work out with the same intensity with the same passion come up against themselves and just say when the body's going given everything it has. It's when you say that's all you got. That's it. That's all you're going to put out to I'm ready. Wow. And so then when you start overcoming that,
the side effect of it is that all of a sudden you're happy for no reason and you're less seduced in believing that something you need something outside of it, outside of you to make you feel better. All of a sudden you're feeling better every day without anything outside of you. And now all of a sudden you start showing up unpredictable in your life. You're saying that Ed guy, he's different, man. He's on a different medication. he's going on with but in actuality you're just freer, right? And so so then as we begin to remove these
layers that stop the flow of the divine in us that that in essence in us the side effect is we become more willful become more mindful become more conscious we become more loving it's it's its nature you know it just it just becomes who we are at the end of the day if you really wanted to be wealthy say how did I do today did I make the right choices was I ethical was I purpose driven was I was I am I interested in making a difference. Was I fair? Was I tempered? Uh did I
really think before I spoke? What what did I remember reading about that book? About that person that did it. How'd I do? And if you said, I when did I fall from grace? When did I lose it? Okay. I want that opportunity again. Mhm. I want another shot at that. And I'm going in this way. What would love do in this situation? What would greatness do? And now you you evolve your experience. And somehow there's a door. There's an opening. something shifts, something changes, and now here we go. We climb another ladder, and then all
of a sudden there's another challenge. And then people who finally arrive at their abundance, they could care less if they're abundant, they're already knowing that they've earned the right for it. So So there's sometimes a shortcut in the process. uh uh if we're if we really learn and we really get it. But the trial and error is so important because not only is the person earning the right to be wealthy, but they're earning the right to live in worthiness, worthy to receive. Like, hey, you people people come to our work all the time for a
lot of reasons. And one of the common reasons is they want to get healthy. Yeah. And and they're because they're dealing with a very serious health condition. And I always say the same thing to them. Stop wanting to be healthy. Learn the formula. Yeah. On how to get healthy. Learn the formula on how to heal. And the healing will be the side effect of it. If you're obsessing about why am I not healed, you're still the old person. You're going to become that person every day. Right? Turns out that when you sit down and the
people that we interview that have had significant changes, when it's no longer about their health, but they are they are out of the bleachers and they're on the playing field and they are coming up against the belief. Like one lady said, "God, I I always thought that this work really worked that this these concepts are the truth, but I never believed it worked for me. And I was in a car accident. I'm in a wheelchair." And then she made the decision that she was going to overcome that belief. Now, it was no longer about her
healing. It was about overcoming the belief. But she overcame the belief and it showed up every day for herself. When you believe in yourself, you believe in possibilities. When you believe in possibilities, you got to believe in yourself. You don't show up for yourself. you don't believe in it. And and that's why people don't do the work. I mean, if you you believe that your thoughts created reality, you would show up every day and create. And so, a lot of people believe in their past more than they believe in their future. A lot of people
fall in love or more in love with their past or romance their past instead of romance their future or love their future. It's it's that simple. So, the initiation process of life is always going to be there. You're always going to be challenged. If if you want to be a master, well then you better learn how to heal someone else and you're going to fail a lot of times. And if you think that you're a failure, then you'll quit. But if you feel like you just didn't quite ding it yet and you show up again
to just ding it and you keep evolving your experience and go deeper, how much more can I open my heart? How much more can I surrender into this infinite field? How much more can I become? Can I walk as it with my eyes open? People do meditations and they have great meditations, me included. And then you get up, you open your eyes, and you're back in the program. And people want to know why they haven't healed. And we have testimonies of people, they're speaking the truth. They said, "My MS, my rheumatoid, and my lupus never
went away." And I had great meditations. I felt better. And then I realized with my eyes open, I was still that person. And now next level, they're in the game. They're catching themselves. are catching how they speak. They're watching how they think. They're not letting their body fall into the same emotional state to put them in the same past experience that the body's believing in. Now, this is the this is the great part. And when a person finally breaks through from the chains and there's a different consciousness, a freedom that happens, they look back at
their past. They want to change one thing in their past cuz it brought them to that present moment. That's the path no longer existing. That's the freedom. So, is it worth the effort? Yeah. It's no longer about healing. It's no longer about abundance. It's about who you're becoming. I will never work in a relationship. I just won't. If I'm working in a relationship, something's wrong. I'll work on me. I'll bring my best. You bring your best. And we get together and we celebrate. It should work. It should work. And if it doesn't, then I'm going
to step back and see what is it about me, not you. What is it about me that I need to really look at and change? Now, uh if there's a vibrational match and it flows and it's fun and you connect on physically, mentally, mind, body, soul, you know, that's cool. I I think that's healthy. Uh uh but a permission-driven person can't be in a relationship where you have to keep going back and and and trying to fix something. I just I just won't do that. I just think that when it when it's right, it's right
and I'll know. Yeah. Yeah. So, I think that I do think that uh relationships uh can be easy and I I do think I and I think that they should be and I and I think that if you're heart-c centered uh that's a different place you meet uh than than uh other emotions and and and and I and again every time I have a mystical moment and I feel that transcendental love that I don't even know the word for. Uh, every time I have one of those moments, I think I got this all wrong. It's
just that it it's it is not chemical. It's electric. And you got what all wrong? Well, the way we view the world, the way we perce I mean, we don't see things how they are. We see things how we are, you know, and every inner experience that's transcendental. Experience enriches circuitry in your brain. Experience produces emotion or energy in the body. So, you start having transcendental moments where you start connecting to that field. Its signature is love. I mean, but not love like a love for your puppy. It's this is like this is like an
arousal. This is I don't know the other word, but bliss, spiritual arousal. Yeah. And we have the we have the evidence. We can say, "Oh, watch this. Watch this person's brain. Scientists are studying our work. I'll say, "Oh, um, watch. She's going to pop in a few minutes." What do you mean? Just watch. She's going to pop. And all of a sudden, this person goes into an arousal. The sympathetic nervous system is so switched on. But the arousal isn't like an arousal that from the environment that produces anger or aggression or fear, anxiety or pain
or suffering. That's survival in the environment that produces the arousal. This arousal is coming from energy in the body that's moving up into the brain. And the arousal is bliss. The arousal is ecstasy. The arousal is freedom. But it's it's not chemical. It's it's you'll feel it in every single cell in your body. Now, here's the outcome of that. The outcome of that is that when you open your eyes and some conditioning, some layer has been removed, your spectrum of the way the world looks broadens now because now you're wired to perceive what's always existed,
but you didn't have the circuits in place to perceive them. So then it's the inner experience that literally trans transforms our experience of the outer world. And so when you start having moments where you hit that kind of frequency or you have those moments of love, you're less dependent on anyone to bring you happiness. You're you're okay. You can love the person for their flaws because you can see a part of yourself you used to be that you no longer are. And instead of judgment, you have compassion and you can encourage and and and communicate
from a from a level of connection instead of intimidation or or competition or however relationships works. What are the three things we should say when we wake up in the morning or think well first I would say what is the greatest ideal of myself that I can be today? And I would not get up until I felt like that person. The second thing I would say is can I begin to keep my energy up the entire day and if I do it properly then I will be open to opportunities and possibilities that weren't there before.
The last thing I would say is could I sustain brain and heart coherence to the point where that intelligence within me that's giving me life begins to find a door to open out so I can begin to see evidence in my world. What would you say every evening before you go to sleep? Oh yeah. How did I do today? How did I do? How did I do? How did I do today? I mean, one day, one lifetime. How did I do today? Did I change or help another human being? Did I really change someone's future,
future timeline? Lastly, what is the greatest thing I learned? You think 60 to 70,000 thoughts in one day. Out of those 60 to 70,000 thoughts that you think in one day, 90% of those thoughts are the same thoughts as the day before. So if you believe that your thoughts somehow are connected to your life, then the same thoughts always lead to the same choices. The same choices always lead to the same behaviors. The same behaviors create the same experiences and the same experiences produce the same emotions. And those very same emotions drive the very same
thoughts. And your biology, your neurosircuitry, your neurochemistry, your neuro hormones, and even your genetic expression is equal to how you think, how you act, and how you feel. And how you think, how you act, and how you feel is called your personality. And your personality creates your personal reality. That's it. So then if you wanted to create a new personal reality, a new life, then you would have to start thinking about what you've been thinking about and change it. You would have to become aware of your unconscious thoughts and observe them. You would have to
pay attention to your automatic habits and behaviors and modify them. And you would have to look at the emotions you live by every single day that are connected to your past and decide if those emotions belong in your future. You see, most people try to create a new personal reality as the same personality and it doesn't work. You literally have to become someone else. I believe in free will. I would never tell anybody what to believe like politically or socially or whatever. I I want to provide them the tools and give them the free will
to create life however they want and believe whatever they want. That's totally cool with me. M. So those people then that want to be healed and they live in fear. Mhm. That fear has to be addressed. I mean, and it's not easy because it's it's hardwired deep in the limbic brain. It's just a safety net. It's a mechanism. So then imagine being in the unknown. The the instinct in the unknown is it's a scary place. Wow. Imagine not having a body. And we practice lingering without a body in in in an infinite space and without
a name, without a face, without a culture, without a job, without a social security number, without a disease, without a diet, just as an awareness. You you practice that. You're going to be comfortable in the unknown. You're going to relax more into it. That's going against thousands of years of programming. And the people who actually overcome their fear and they traded for gratitude, their immune system gets stronger. Uh their genes up regulated. I mean there's just a host of uh uh everything change. Their brain changes, their heart rate variability. They feel differently and it's it's
being measured and and some of these people we're measuring this now in our in our events with with reputable scientists and in and universities. They're they're shocked at what they're witnessing on a cellular level, on a brain level, on a heart level. They cannot believe the capacity of the body. I I just was I just got an email today of a sc one of our scientists said, I ran this three times. The virus that we expose the cell to in advanced meditators does not enter the cell. It's outside the cell. It won't a virus in
novice meditators. Some of it's in the cell, some of it's outside. Controls all the viruses in the cell. There's an immunity. So when the person's less reactionary to their environment, there's less of response that weakens them. They're less of a victim to their environment. Then they're less of a victim to their environment. Large scale, small scale, the body has a greater immunity to whatever it is. Bond University uh a university in Australia on the Gold Coast. Uh senior researcher took large majority of my brain scans and they had she had them analyzed by her graduate
students and they they statistically looked at everything. One of the most startling things for the research team was our community's ability to go to to get to that point where there nobody, no one, no thing, nowhere, no time. I'm talking 4 seconds. I'm talking 5 seconds. I'm talking 9 seconds just like just give me a second. I know how to do this. They they've practiced it enough times that the creative moment is when you get beyond yourself. When you dissociate from everything known in your material world. Turns out when you do that and you start
changing your brain waves, your brain waves slow down into alpha and theta. You're suppressing the memory bank of the known self that keeps you plugged into threedimensional reality. When you quiet down this mechanism, now all of a sudden you start connecting to that field. And when you can stay conscious in those subconscious realms, when you can literally regulate and change brain waves, now you're in the operating system where you can make those significant changes. Here's the deal with trauma. And it's kind of an interesting thing because when you're traumatized, some threat or some danger or
some condition in your outer world through your senses is changing how you feel in your inner world. And the quotion of change between the way you normally feel in some alarm state. When you change your internal state and move into that emergency mode, you narrow your focus on the cause and the brain freezes an image and takes a snapshot and that's called a long-term memory and now that image is branded holographically into the brain. So then they remember exper we remember experiences better because we can remember how they feel and and that memory then changes
the person's biology. So they think neurologically within the circuits of that experience and they feel chemically within the boundaries of those emotions and how we think and feel becomes our state of being. So so now the person biologically is changed and many times it's the strong emotion that begins to select and instruct the gene that creates disease. Why? Because if the environment signals the gene and that's a truth that's epigenetics and the end product of an experience in the environment is an emotion. The emotion that you feel from that event is literally selecting the gene
gosh for you to begin to change. And the genes make proteins. And so the the person if it's if it's strong enough begins to wear their trauma. Not just in their brain. Now it's in their body because every time they think about that trauma, every time they review it, every time they keep creating the imagery, they keep firing and wiring the circuits in their brain. And they keep feeling the feeling emotionally in their body. And their body is so objective that it's believing it's living in the same past experience 50 to 100 times a day.
And all you need is a stimulus and response, an image and an emotion, a thought and a feeling. And you're conditioning the body into the past. Well, you're conditioning the brain and body into the past. Why is our memory for pain stronger than our memory of a success or a joy? I really think that when the survival gene is activated, preservation is the key. So we can have 10 things that happen really great in our lives. You have a family member or somebody you know that does this. They have 10 really great things happen in
their one thing bad and they focus on that bad thing. Why? Because the survival genes activated. They want to make sure it doesn't happen again. So so you put your attention on it because you don't want it to happen again. So what people do when they're aroused is they start thinking it's going to happen. And so they actually select the worstc case scenario in their mind and then emotionally embrace that future before it happens and they're conditioning their body to become the mind of anxiety and fear. So in preservation and in survival if you prepare
for the worst anything less that happens you have a better chance of surviving. So that's the mechanism that takes place. So survival means you better take care of your body. Yeah. You better be aware of your environment and make sure there's no threats and so you got to keep your eye out there and you better be thinking about the future based on what you learned in the past. Now, there's nothing wrong with that when the analytical facilities are in balance. But when there's an arousal, arousal, there's three things that create arousal. Fear, hostility, and anger
or aggression, and pain. And that arousal drives the brain into these high states of what we call high beta. M and most people need something or someone or some circumstance or some drug or some pill or some computer game to change that internal state. And the moment they notice a change in their internal state, then they pay attention to what's causing it and they start developing a dependency on it. Right? So, turns out that when we teach people how to self-regulate and change their brain waves, uh, we could actually see then that the incoherence, the
disorderliness that's taking place in the brain, you know, when you're overaroused, you're overly analytical, and you're shifting your attention from one problem, to one person, to one thing, to one place, to another problem, to another circumstance, to your phone, to your car. And each one of those elements has a neurological network in the brain. So the arousal causes these different circuits to fire out of order and the brain is incoherent. So take two waves that are out of phase and mix them. When they interfere, they flatten out. There's no energy. So energy leaves the brain,
right? So then when you're in arousal, you narrow your focus on the cause. If there is something rattling in the bushes and it's dark, you freeze and you narrow your focus on it and there's a rush of adrenaline and your pupils dilate and your heart starts to race and you're ready to run, fight or hide. I mean, that's a survival moment. What if it's your coworker sitting right next to you or 6 feet away and and you're judging them? You're the same arousal's taking place and what's once very adaptive becomes very maladaptive. This is where
it gets challenging. So when we teach people how to open their focus, we've done thousands and thousands of brain scans and they get beyond their analytical processes and they open their awareness and go from a convergent focus to a divergent focus and they learn how to relax and regulate. the brain waves start to slow down into alpha. And then if they do it properly and they're connecting those different compartments of the brain that were once firing out of order start to unify. Different communities form bigger communities. The brain starts to synchronize and then all of
a sudden you start seeing different compartments of the brain all in resonance. So now when they're all in resonance and they start interfering, when those waves come together there's more energy in the brain. So when a person dials down the mechanism, this neoortex that plugs us into threedimensional reality that keeps us aware of our body, that it's the autobiographical self where everything's stitched in memory in there. When we start deactivating the mechanism here and we get beyond the memory bank of the known self and brain waves move into theta, we we've studied this so much.
When a person can let their body be in a light state of sleep and feel so safe that you can finally let go and surrender. The body is sleeping but the mind is awake. And now the door between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind is wide open. And if they can regulate and stay there, something amazing happens. there is a release of energy from the body and their brain goes into a very very super coherent state of gamma and gamma is super consciousness. Now I'm not talking about a little gamma. I'm not talking about
a lot of gamma. I'm not talking about a really lot of gamma. I'm talking about a supernatural amount of gamma. There's so much order and so much energy in the brain. Like if we were in an audience and we were all clapping like this, that could be alpha, right? Theta would be. And if everybody could do this, the slower we could do it, the more we can get our timing down, the more we can get coherent. But if we were doing this, it would be really hard for all of us to do that at the
same time. So it takes a lot of order, a lot of awareness, a lot of energy to be able to create that kind of uh order. So that's how fast the brain is and that arousal that's taking place is ecstasy. That arousal is bliss. It is the most familiar unfamiliar feeling that people ever have. And that memory then that the person has that is so profoundly different than the feeling of success, the feeling of wealth, the feeling of orgasm or love or whatever. This is a new one and it's a thrill. And the person notices
a dramatic change in their inner state. And with that experience comes a very lucid picture, a very profound insight, a download of information. That's the moment then the body many times rewrites the biological program. Energy is informing matter and the autonomic nervous system is regulating. It's in high order. And remember disease is autonomic dysregulation. Now it's getting into a very very high frequency of order and it's sending very coherent information to the cells and tissues, sending energy to the cells and tissues and cells begin to emit more coherent light and information. And then there's the
disease and there it's not. the recognition that when you're assimilating a negative thought or a negative judgment or a negative emotion, envy, greed, whatever it may be, that's actually lowering your energy. Yeah. And when you get to that place where you're experiencing that incredible bliss right here, you can't you can't Yeah. And even if you have the thought and the thought will still come because we still have those thoughts. But the thought will be an understanding of human nature because you're no longer at that vibrational level any longer. You're rising above it, you know, and
and I think more and more people are starting to figure that out. And and and the people in their lives are like, "No, my husband my husband is a changed person. No, he's not the same guy. I know him. I know he's completely different. And the guy's just like, "Yeah, I feel amazing. I feel great." And all it was was sitting in the fire. Yes. For a little bit of time until the body finally moved out of the past into the present moment. And so the causes of this, like I always say, you never know
what you're doing today and how you're doing it, who you're going to affect tomorrow when you do this work. And that's what we're seeing. People are they're they're they're getting promotions. uh they're getting all these wonderful things not because of anything that they're doing. They're just different. Yeah. And people notice that and they want those people in the position to make better decisions for the whole. And and I think that's uh that's how we change the world. In our community at least, people who have relationships that are built uh from our community uh tend to
be more longlasting because they're more self-aware. And so there's no blame, there's no excuses, there's no make wrong, there's no competition, there's none of that. There's just this is who I am, you know. And I think that the ultimate goal is when you reach the point in your life when how you appear to the world is who you really are. That level of transparency is it takes no effort. You can be yourself. And and and and you know, people say to me, "Wow, you're you're pretty approachable." And I say, "Well, God, I work so hard
every day on overcoming myself in the morning, overcoming my ego. Why would I want to build it up the next day cuz I got to face that guy again tomorrow morning?" So, why not just keep, you know, you know, taking those edges and and smoothing them down so that so that you're you're less unconscious to all of those programs that are built in relationships. You asked if is it possible then can that people can heal that quickly in one week? Yeah. Because what if they create an inner event that carries an amplitude of gratitude or
joy or freedom? Break through from the chains of the past. And when the body is liberated and you feel that elevated emotion, the stronger the emotion you feel from that breakthrough, the more you're going to pay attention to the image in your mind. And now you're now beginning to brand new circuitry in the brain and your body is being conditioned into a new future. And the stronger the emotion you feel and the more you pay attention to the picture, the more you're conditioning the body over time to the future instead of the past. So now
you keep knocking on that genetic door emotionally. Then that emotion ultimately signals a new gene that up upregulates that gene to produce better proteins and the person and all of a sudden starts healing. And we have research to show that people can do that in 4 days. signal genes to reduce cancer cells and to to signal stem cells to to suppress um uh to go to active tissues and repair them and regenerate them and suppress inflammation. You come with a lot of genes and they're just a library of potentials. They're just a storehouse of information
of possibilities. So then you got to get the right signal, the right lock into the key that begins to select and instruct genes that cause genes to make different proteins. And you can regulate so many different genes, the same genes, you can regulate them differently. So when they upregulate, they start producing really healthy and robust proteins. And that's that's enzymes, that's tissue, that's structure, that's function, that's hormones, it's immune immunogloabbulins. When they downregulate because of some alarm, when there's not a lot of energy for long-term building projects, well, then you keep doing that, then the
body starts producing cheaper proteins. It's a different signal. It's not a time for growth. When you hit pay dirt like that, when you connect, when you connect to the field, when you connect to the divine, whatever you want to call it, when your consciousness merges with a greater consciousness, and that arousal creates, ecstasy, bliss, oneness, whatever you want to call that, you realize that it never came from anything out there. It didn't come from the wardrobe or the facelift, the sports car, whatever. It it came from within you. And so, you stop looking out there
for it. And now the love affair begins. And you never want to miss a date cuz it's just too good. So that memory then that is what I'm after because when you have those transcendental moments and you understand this. Yeah. The experience of that transcendental moment lays down new circuitry in the brain. That's what experience does. And the experience produces a feeling. But it's not chemical. It's electric and it's orderly. And every cell of your body is jiggling and order. And there and you're aroused and you're awakened, right? You have to admit when that occurs,
your spectrum of reality is going to broaden. Some conditioning, some illusion, something is removed and you start seeing reality as it is and all of a sudden you start seeing the part that we edit out for survival. Now you start seeing patterns and lights and information that are transcendent of threedimensional reality and your spectrum. Why? Because your brain had the experience and the circuitry is there and now your your experience of the world changes. You get an upgrade to the to the VR set, the virtual reality set. Oh, you got the upgrade. You got 2.0
and now it looks different. Everything looks different. Everybody looks different. the world. You're seeing beauty more well and there's more holism and more connection and sounds and words and music and sense and sight and light is all working together. I mean that's the blessing of an awakening, right? That's where that's where we're going. What do you think the world humanity's challenge will be over the next decade as we enter 2020? Um back to the principle Lewis of just different paradigms beginning to collapse you know economically, politically, socially, environmentally, religiously, education, journalism, the uh you know
medicine. Um they they have to uh move into chaos and chaos is just unpredictable working. Yeah, exactly. But now here's the challenge for humanity. You have one of two ways to embrace the breakdown of those those those paradigms. You can face them with anger and hostility and fear and you are only contributing to more of it. Uh we have to see that those breakdowns are essential for something greater to happen. Now we can't wait for governments to take care of us. That's we can't wait for uh medicine to to give us a drug that's going
to heal us from a condition. The truth is with a greater level of consciousness, the change in awareness because of information, the greatest challenge we have as those as those paradigms break down is to no longer emotionally react in the same way and be victims. You can't say this president, this person, this this whatever is actually making me feel this way and think this way. Basically, you're in the program that something outside of you is controlling you. How you feel and how you think. So then to self-regulate then is to say how I think and
feel was going to change my outer environment. So then we're all faced with great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. and we are at that point at that nexus point in our evolution as a species. So then you don't try to fix that. That's never going to work. What you do is you create something better and then everybody just naturally just leaves that and goes here. Now it used to be some people would just come here and the majority would stay here because they're clinging to what they've been programmed or believe in. But now because
of information everybody's like that's not going to work. I already know it's not going to work and I don't care what anybody says this is working for me. So people are moving to new to new um to new applications to new paradigms because it's working for them. So as long as we don't emotionally react to the breakdown that's happening currently in the world and chaos is just unpredictable order you know as as as things move towards disorder the novelty that's being created is literally chaos because the known and everything staying the same is order. But
as you step out into that unknown, it's then you're having the chaos is unpredictable order being expressed through novelty. And we have to be able to learn how to take that disorder and with the application of brain and heart coherence create more order. So you can't just say, "Hey, I'm standing up for peace and you know, and being miserable with your coworker." you you you don't get to talk about peace until there's you you're the you're the living prayer of peace. Not just we know we know crime rates go down and violence goes down when
there's peace projects and communities where there's meditation on peace but when those peace gathering projects end you know you see that crime and violence and everything returns back to the same level. So it's not enough to just think it we got to demonstrate it. So if I'm demonstrating peace and you're demonstrating peace, somebody else because of mere neurons is going to go, "Wow, that person's unpredictable. Wow, they're different. It's given me permission to do the same." So I think that ultimately moving into that state of being, you know, as as human beings and and and
creating unity that, you know, you keep watching so many programs on television that talk you into prejudice, that talk you into separation, that talk you into fear, that talk you into violence, that talk you into war, deceit, uh negativity. Um you're you're not going to trust anybody. In fact, you're going to see difference between you and me or anybody because that's what separation does. But when your heart's centered and you feel connected, you don't see the person any longer, right? You see something transcending them. You see an essence, right? And I think if you do
that really well, that kind of emergence of a of a new consciousness, uh, that's less dependent on on all of those outer things is really difficult to control. And if you want to control a community, control their emotions and control them in survival. When you overcome your emotions, you can see the hidden meaning behind all things. And when everybody's looking this way, you may be looking that way because you understand, look, you've just overcome your fear. You've just overcome your hostility and anger, you overcome the program of whatever it is. I swear to you, you
are going to be able to connect people. And that that then is the hope of the future. If you're alive in this world and you haven't been experiencing the quickening, I mean I mean you know I said to uh someone the other day the day where you end your day and feel complete cuz you finished all your work, you'll never have that. You know, there's always more emails and more things to check, right? So the demand has has pressed us into this crazy realm of of of uh of of um multitasking. And I think that
you start shifting where you place your attention is where you place your energy. So if you're shifting your attention all over the board, your energy is scattered. Yeah. So then when you start disconnecting from everybody, your boss, your coworker, you know, the news, uh your cell phone, your computer, and you start going this way, I think it's uh into the present moment. Then if where you place your attention is where you place your energy, and you're truly in the present moment, you got a lot of energy to execute. You got to land on energy to
use and you want to be able to do that eyes open. The more scattered your energy, the less you have to focus on pushing one thing forward. That's why people's dreams don't happen because too scattered. There's no Look, look, if you keep putting your attention on some future experience that you are imagining with your mind, your body is going to follow your mind right there because that's where your energy is. But if you're putting your attention on everything known in your life, the shower, the coffee maker, you know, the the toilet, and your body's following
your mind every day to the known, but we want your body to follow your mind to the unknown, right? Enough people get to doing that. And you could do better in creating things in your life that we see this wealthy people in our work that are focused on wealth, some of them living in the backseat of their car, some of them bankrupt that now have multi-million dollar companies. What do you think they want to do with that money? They want to give it away. Yeah. Give it back. Let me tell you why. Not because of
any other reason is that they now know that they could create more. Well, why? Why? If you're abundant, why? Abundance to me has changed. Abundance means I have more than I need. Like way more than I need. So, if I have way more than I need and I know how to create it, then take it. I'll create more of it. So, now you're no longer holding on in scarcity. You're making a difference. So wealthy people that have created a lot of wealth in this work, they want to give back. They want to make a difference.
And I think that that's how we're innately wired. I think we're all innately wired to care for one another to make a difference. And the living organism, our living organism, our community, we heal one another. That's what we do. We inform one another. We encourage one another. We support one another. We shine for one another. Not to outshine another person, to shine, to show them that they can shine. And that's that to me is super healthy. So then I'm applauding your success because I want you to succeed because you're telling me that if you can
do it, I can do it. So there's no longer any separation. I think that's hopeful for the world. Then you start celebrating diversity. Then you're like, "Wow, you're way different than me. I want to I want to study you because I want to bring that into who I'm becoming." Yeah. You you create a strong community that way. What are the things that disturb or disconnect our awakening and connection to the divine? A lot of times when people they hit that point, they try to reproduce it the same way as we talked about and you can't.
Yeah. You can't do it the same way because that's redundancy. But also many times uh we have the experience and we start to try and because trying is matter trying to change matter and and and so we're forcing we're controlling we're predicting and and then the uh and when we do that then of course we're in separation and we're waiting for the event to happen to feel the emotion right and I've done that long enough and is actually we have to lay down the very thing we used our whole life to get what we want
for something greater to occur and it takes practice of surrender, right? So that's one element. I also think that our responses emotionally like uh uh uh uh let's just say that a person gets connected to the future. They get connected to the energy of their future. They feel it. It's really great. And then they start their day and then 2 hours later they're they're feeling something else because some person or some circumstance altered their state. Well, they just disconnected from the energy of the future and now they're back to the energy of the past. Don't
expect anything to change in your life because it doesn't work that way. So then then when they get back to that old self again, then they say, "What's wrong with me? I failed. They didn't do it right." No, that's all the program. You show up again and you go after it again. Uh so familiar feelings uh cause us to no longer see through the lens of the future. We're seeing through the lens of the past. And and and we color reality that way. So, um I think uh I think familiar emotions uh get in the
way as well. And then of course there's always belief. And a belief is just a thought you keep thinking over and over again until you hardwire it in your brain. And all beliefs are based on past experience. So a person has an experience. The stronger the emotion they have from that circumstance, the more they pay attention to the cause, and the brain freezes a frame, takes a snapshot, and that's called the memory. Mhm. The moment they draw a conclusion about that experience, they'll think neurologically within those circuits and they'll feel chemically within the boundaries of
those emotions. Thinking and feeling, thinking and feeling. Belief becomes an unconscious or subconscious state of being. They don't most people don't even know they have beliefs about things about God, about relationships, about money because it's it's not a conscious thing. It's a subconscious thing. So, in order to change a belief or perception about yourself and your life, you got to go all in. Mhm. It's not like you go 50% in. You got to go all in. You got to make a decision with such firm intention that the amplitude of that decision carries a level of
energy that causes the body to respond to the mind that the choice that you make becomes a moment in time you'll never forget. And you would say, "I remember the moment I made up my mind to change." And the stronger the emotion you feel, the more you'll pay attention to the decision. And that's a huge stone you drop in the quantum field. Big splash, big waves. Your brain is organized to reflect everything you know in your life. Your brain is a record of the past. It's an artifact of all the things you've learned and experienced
to this moment. So, if you wake up every morning and get out of bed on the same side, shut the alarm clock off with the same finger, shuffle into the bathroom and use the toilet like you always do, go and get a cup of coffee and drink coffee out of your favorite mug. Then get in the shower and wash yourself off in the same routine way. Drive to work. Get to work. see the same people that push the same emotional buttons. Do the same things that you've memorized and do so well. Then hurry up and
go home and hurry up and check your emails and hurry up and check your Facebook and then watch your favorite television show. Then hurry up and go to bed. Here's my question. Did your brain change at all that day? We could say that you were thinking the same thoughts, performing the same unconscious actions, living by the same emotions, but secretly expecting your life to change. So there's a principle in neuroscience and the principle says nerve cells that fire together wire together. So if you're thinking the same thoughts, making the same choices, demonstrating the same behaviors,
reproducing the same experiences that stamp the same networks of neurons into the same patterns, and then produce the same emotions, you're going to hardwire your brain into a very finite signature. Because as you fire and wire the same circuits in the same way, those circuits begin to become more connected. And by the time you're 35 years old, this is science now. We become a set of memorized behaviors, unconscious habits, automatic emotional reactions, beliefs and perceptions, and even attitudes that function just like a computer program. And if you do something over and over and over again,
the repetition of those actions over time conditions your body to know how to do it well better than your mind. And a habit is when your body knows better than your mind. Where you've done something so many times that the body now knows how to do it better than the brain. And so 95% of most people's behaviors, attitudes, thoughts, beliefs, emotional reactions are subconscious programs. So why is that important? Because you're here this week to learn new information. And every time you learn something new, you make new connections in your brain. That's what learning is.
Learning is forging new synaptic connections. Physical evidence as a result of your interaction in the environment. And the footprints of consciousness called learning, making new connections. And the Nobel Prize laurate Kandell in the year 2000 found that when people learned one bit of information they doubled the number of connections in their brain from 1300 connections to 2600 connections. But if they didn't review that information, if they couldn't repeat it, if they couldn't remember it, those circuits pruned apart in hours or days. So if learning is making new synaptic connections then remembering is maintaining and sustaining
those connections. Your body rejects viruses all the time. Of course it has memorized certain viruses that you've been exposed to. It has memorized certain bacteria that you've been exposed to and it's beaten those viruses. Not every virus wins in the body. The body has an intelligence and it's and it has quite a library of memories in the in the in the white blood cells. So your body is fighting viruses and bacteria all the time. There's a constant competition going on really. So our research shows that 4 days of opening your heart releases immunoglobulin A, your
body's primary defense against bacteria and viruses. It's better than the flu shot. It's the body's natural flu shot. And that's the innate intelligence of the body saying, "I got this. I got a lot of energy. In fact, I got a surplus of energy. In fact, I'm radiating energy. And now my outer world." Well, now my outer world is not controlling my inner world. My inner world now is functioning independent of what's going on in my outer world. And now you're manifesting. You're manifesting. Ah, now you got it. Now you're in a creative state because people
are coming to you. Yes. Right. Exactly. Now you're a magnet. Now you have a field. Right? And you have energy uh to heal. And our research shows that that field around your body will actually expand. You you radiate more light and information. Cells are getting new information that that are causing uh um light to be exchanged between cells and information. Now the body's getting an upgrade. So So that amunoglobulin A in 4 days went up 50%. So now we now know that if it's going up 50% that then the immune system was getting a new
signal and nitric oxide then causes another chemical to activate the arteries in your heart to swell. And now just like when energy moves into your sexual organs and it swells with blood and you have energy there. The same intensity it moves into your heart and now now the heart is activated and what do you feel? You feel an incredible amount of love. Yeah. And you feel you feel you feel whole. And now the more whole you feel, our research shows, then the less separate you feel from the things you want in your life because you
feel like you already have them. You only want things when you're in lack. But when you feel whole, then it feels like it's already happened. And that tends to be the exact emotion that causes those synchronicities and serendipities and coincidences to happen in our life. And you say to a person, what are you doing? And they're saying, I'm not doing anything. I'm I'm just loving life. I'm being myself. Yeah, exactly. I'm free. I'm free from the past. I'm free from my my story of the past. In fact, I'm more connected to the energy of my
future than I am to the energy of my past. I think that if we share the same experiences cuz we like the same things, we share the same emotions. Mhm. And if we share the same experiences, we share the same emotions. I can relate to you. So, we can exchange ideas and information. Yeah. And if we share the same energy, energy is information. So many people as an example, they use each other to reaffirm their their dependency on suffering. So I suffer more than you than you say. I you I suffer, you suffer more than
me. We have this thing and we just complain with each other. Well, that's the same resonance, the same frequency and there's a match, right? uh but goes to the same means if you if you're if you're someone who's has a accountability partner that that you exchange ideas like this with and it's a different frequency and different energy. So when energy comes together and is constructive something comes out of it you feel it right it's and then you feel an elevation if there's dissonance then your your sensing meter is how you feel about that person many
times in your gut or in your heart or wherever and there's decon there's destructive interference and there's no energy involved so I think that's just a practice but really the ultimate mastery is to be able to be in such resonance such coherence that when you walk in the room that you raise everybody's energy and you don't let your energy drop because of any circumstance or any condition and that would be greater than your environment, right? And that's that's the model uh that we use. So imagine 1500 people in an event where everybody's getting super coherent
and the interference that's going on in the room is creating these high amplitudes. Now we've measured that in the room and the energy in the room is off the chart many times. There's I mean there's energy for healing in there. There's energy for all kinds of things that can happen. So we brought it to life with our awareness and so the more elevated the emotion, love, gratitude, freedom, bliss, ecstasy, the higher the frequency. So but it turns out you can have a collective group of people with a lot of energy and be incoherent and it
creates entropy. Yeah, you could have a smaller group of people that are highly coherent and put out a very big signal. So, when we see a collective really get coherent, wow, the energy in the room opens up doors of possibilities that I would I would never expect. I mean, I I don't I don't know how to explain some of the phenomenological things that happen, but that's that's everybody's divine. Like, everybody's everybody's in that state. They're they're in that elevated state. So I think our I think our our truth meter is really whether we feel lifted
uh or we feel like uh we've been robbed. If you are not defined by some vision that is bigger than you and you are not passionate about that vision then you're left with the old hardware of the past in your brain and you will be predictable in your life. So would you agree then new thoughts, new information should lead to new choices, new choices should lead to new behaviors and new behaviors should create new experiences and new experiences should produce new emotions and those new emotions should drive new thoughts and that's called evolution. So if
your brain is a record of the past and you don't have a vision of the future then you are living in the past and you will never arrive at that new future. If you have been an experienced uh if you had experience of trauma say for example and it's created the feeling of fear and your fear is that it could happen again and you're you don't know this but every time you think about that future that possible worst case scenario scenario and you feel the emotion you're conditioning your body to become the mind subconsciously of
anxiety. So now all all you need now is some cue in your outer environment that says it's unsafe that it's there's damage there that you're you're a victim. Something's bigger than you that could have an effect on you. Well, now that feeling of fear is going to cause you to think thoughts equal to it. So the person then no longer needs the environment to feel that fear. They used to have to have the thought about that condition now and now they're literally knocking their brain and body out of balance by thought alone. And the body's
constantly living in emergency mode. And it takes a lot of energy, a lot of resources to live in emergency mode all the time. Guess what system becomes compromised by it? Immune system. Your immune system. Why? Because you have two protection systems. You got a you got a system that protects you from dangers in your outer world. That's that's the gas pedal. That's the sympathetic nervous system. That's a fight orflight nervous system. Danger threat out there. Use all the energy because you got to you got to survive. And when you survive, you got to take care
of your body. So, right. So, so now that system can work really well short term. It doesn't work really well if you keep it on all the time because if you're mobilizing all that energy for some threat in your outer world, there's no energy in your inner world for growth and repair. There's no energy for long-term building projects. And energy leaves the brain and it leaves the heart and it moves into these lower centers because now you're tapping the body's resources because there is an emergency. But whether the emergency is real or imagined, whether you're
anger is valid or justified or not that the you're tapping the body's very energy to heal by doing this. And the immune system says, well, we're part of really the other nervous system. We're the break. We're the clutch. We need to we need to get into relaxation. we need to get back into balance again and and when we do then we'll metabolize then we'll we'll assimilate we'll reproduce we'll we'll excrete properly so so now you got this kind of battle between the gas pedal and the brake and the immune system says hey listen if there's
foreign agents if there's viruses bacteria molds funguses listen we don't have a whole lot of energy here to deal with them because we're fighting this war out there's no homeland security so they shut down certain receptors in the immune system. They shut down function of those lymphosytes, those white blood cells that are your inner army of protection. And it takes a lot of energy to fight a virus and a bacteria. But if there's no energy, hey, listen, it takes energy to raise the body's temperature. Where do you think that comes from? That's part of that
branch called the autonomic nervous system. And the sympathetic, the gas pedal is part of it. And the parasympathetic is the clutch is part of that autonomic nervous system. I mean, it's a check and balance, but so you stay in emergency for an extended period of time and now you're exposed to some antigen or some uh external substance, some foreign agent when we become the living example of truth, when we actually embody this uh that um there are no limits to what we can do. And I'm hopeful with human beings that um that uh we have
this capacity and uh and of course when we believe in ourselves uh we believe in possibility and when we believe in possibilities we believe in ourselves and I think that is the ultimate belief. Feelings and emotions are the endroduct of past experiences and you can remember experiences better because you can remember how they feel. And when you're in the midst of an experience, all of your senses plug you into the environment. And as you're gathering all of this vital data from your external world, all that information rushes back to your brain and it causes jungles
of neurons to organize themselves into networks. The moment those neurons string into place, the brain makes a chemical. And that chemical is called a feeling or an emotion. And once you feel that emotion, you create a long-term memory. Now reason this with me. If feelings and emotions are the end product of past experiences and you are feeling the same way every single day, doesn't that mean nothing new is happening in your life? And of those feelings and emotions drive certain thoughts and you can't think greater than how you feel because you had events in your
life that have branded you emotionally and you feel sadness or guilt or shame or unworthiness or insecurity. All of those emotions are created from past experiences. And when you feel those emotions and those emotions drive certain thoughts and then those thoughts make certain chemicals for you to feel the same emotion and then those emotions drive certain thoughts. The repetition of that cycle then conditions the body to memorize that emotional state better than the mind. And now your body literally is in the past. Because if you can't think greater than how you feel, then you are
thinking in the past. And so most people then spend the majority of their life talking about why they never arrive at their vision of the future because of some past experience. And so if feelings and emotions are the end product of past experiences, you remember your first kiss, you remember your wedding, you remember the birth of your children, you remember catching a fish off the coast of Monzano with your three best friends because you caught the fish and it was a new experience and you felt great. And then you went to the casita and you
cooked the mahi mahi and you drank savonan blanc and the wind was blowing off the sea and the sun was setting and you made a long-term memory. But you also have memories that are connected to trauma and crisis to disappointments. And those are the memories that people remember more than anything else. And so if you haven't overcome some emotion that keeps you anchored to the past, then you tell a story about the past. And people say, "I am this way because of this experience that happened to me 15 years ago. I am this way because
of some event that happened 30 years ago." And from a biological perspective, it means I haven't been able to change in the last 15 or 30 years. And Scientific American, a prestigious magazine, says that 50% of what you talk about in your past isn't even the truth. you make it up because you don't have the same brain that you did 15 years ago or 30 years ago. So then your brain and body are typically in the past because thoughts are the language of the brain and feelings are the language of the body and how you
think and how you feel creates your state of being. So if you think insecure thoughts in a matter of seconds you are going to feel insecure. The moment you feel insecure, your brain is monitoring how you're feeling and you think more insecure thoughts which then makes you feel more insecure. And the repetition of that cycle conditions the body to become the mind of insecurity. And then the person says I am insecure. And whenever you say I am anything, you are commanding your mind and body into a destiny. So then how do people change? They wait
for crisis, trauma, disease, diagnosis, loss. Something has to go wrong in their life where they feel so uncomfortable that they finally make up their mind to change. And why is that? Because after the trauma or the crisis, they don't feel like of themselves. And the moment they don't feel like themselves, they could actually observe themselves cuz they are looking at themselves through the eyes of someone else. But my message is why wait? You can learn and change in a state of pain and suffering or you can learn and change in a state of joy and
inspiration. Memory is creative. That in fact 50% of that story you embellish. People make up that story. Let me tell you why they make up that story. Because they excuse themselves for the fact that they haven't been able to change since that event. They'll have to make it sound worse than it really was to make it harder to grow and change so that they can reaffirm their limited sense of their inability to change. So then that story becomes more and more of a story and it's less of the truth because you got to work yourself
up into a state. There were lions and tigers and there was you know there were helicopters, snowtorms and yeah everybody was firing bullets worse than you could possibly imagine. And then you got to feel that emotion, right? And then you're looking, oh yeah, it must have been really bad. Now that's that's your identity now. That's your identity. If your brain is a record of the past and you are living by the same emotions that have defined you for the last 10 years and you keep thinking the same thoughts that make the same chemicals and those
same chemicals drive the same thoughts, then your body as the unconscious mind does not know the difference between an actual experience in your life that creates an emotion and an emotion that you're creating by thought alone. And so your body is believing it's in the same past experience 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. And your body is programmed into the past. And you can't create a new future holding on to the emotions of the past. How many people understand what I'm talking about? So then when you react to someone
or something in your life, you have a choice that when an event changes how you feel, there's a chemical change that's taking place in your body. And most people don't think they can control their emotional reactions. And so then when you react to some co-orker or some relative or somebody in traffic, the moment you react emotionally, you were altered chemically. And if you don't know how to control your emotional reaction after that event and you allow those emotions to linger for hours or days, you know what that's called? That's called a mood. Hey, what's wrong
with you? Oh, I'm in a mood. Really? Why are you in a mood? Well, this thing happened to me 4 days ago and I'm having one long emotional reaction. And if you keep that same refractory period going on for weeks or months, that's called a temperament. Hey, why is she so angry? I don't know. Why are you so angry? Why are you so bitter? Why are you so anchilada? [Music] because I had this experience 7 months ago and I'm memorizing my emotional reaction. And if you keep that same refractory period going on for years on
end, that's called the personality trait. And people wear their emotions on their sleeve and that's who they think they are. and they will talk about the past to validate why they're not creating the life that they want. So then if you wake up in the morning, Mexico City, and you are not being defined by a vision that's bigger than you, and it doesn't get you out of bed and inspire you into possibility, and you get up living from the old hardware of the past and the old emotions stored in your body, do you know what's
going to happen to you? You're going to wake up and you're going to open your eyes and you're going to see the same people and go to the same places and do the exact same thing at the exact same time. And the moment you open your eyes, all of a sudden now it's your external environment that's controlling how you think and feel. Because you have a neurological network in your brain for every person you know, every place that you go, everything that you own, everything that you do. And the moment you open your eyes and
you see the same people and go to the same places and do the exact same thing at the exact same time, it's your external environment that's turning on different circuits in your brain, causing you to think equal to everything that you know. And you told me you believe that your thoughts have something to do with your destiny. And as long as you're thinking equal to your environment, you keep creating the same life. To change, to truly change is to think greater than your environment. To think greater than the circumstances in your life. To think greater
than the conditions in your world. And every great person in history knew this. Whether it was Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, the Wright brothers, Jonah Varc, they all had a vision. I always say to people, when is the last time you sat with your heart and just worked with it like so that it's not contracted and afraid and protected? It takes practice to to do that. And and so we we we work with people in letting them uh we give them numerous opportunities to practice this over and over and over again and sooner or later
petal by petal it starts to bloom and all of a sudden there's an authentic smile on their face and once energy meets the heart it goes right to the brain. We have we did this study where we hooked up an electroc cardiogram to an electronphilogram and an electron and is a brain mapping machine. So we measure 19 or 26 different compartments and we're looking to see all different kind of activity in the brain. But we measure the heart along with it. And when the heart starts beating coherently in in a sense of order like a
like taking a big sheet Jay and going like that, the heart sends a wave right up to the brain and the brain goes into these beautiful states of alpha. The heart is telling the brain it's safe to create again. It's safe to imagine. It's safe to dream of a new future. And there's the stroke volume of the heart in order. And then you see these two or 3 seconds of beautiful coherent alpha. The brain is in it's it's in that creative state. Then there's a pause and it happens again. And yeah, it's it's it's beauty.
It's a it's a symphony. If you don't have that mechanism, you can have all the intention in the world, but there's no carrier wave. I mean, and people when they make energy uh reach their heart, there's an external field that's created. It's it's it's magnetic. It's it's it's measurable. And that energy is frequency. And if that frequency is coherent, it can carry the intent or thought on a coherent brain of that future. The energy of suffering cannot carry the thought of health or wealth. It's not consistent with it. It carries a different set of thoughts.
So then the training then is getting people into those hard states because once they start trading that fear or that pain or that frustration or trying or whatever forcing you know control for gratitude and they just let all that go and I say to them listen if you can't feel gratitude or if you can't feel love I just want to know what you've been practicing feeling every day cuz that feeling that you're practicing is what you're always feeling. Now let's practice feeling something else. In the beginning, it's not going to be easy, but you got
to keep following the formula. Keep doing it. Keep doing it. Keep doing it. Well, when they start feeling gratitude, it's very interesting because the emotional signature of gratitude is that something wonderful just happened to you. Something favorable is happening to you, right? So, you've just received something or you're receiving something. You say thank you. So gratitude is the ultimate state of receiving emotionally. Mhm. So when you move into a state of gratitude and you open your heart, you will accept, believe, and surrender to the thoughts equal to that emotional state and you'll program your autonomic
nervous system into a different destiny. You could say, "I'm healthy. I'm healthy. I'm healthy. I'm wealthy. I'm wealthy. I'm wealthy. I'm wealthy. I'm free. I'm free. I'm free." And your body is conditioned into misery and it's saying, "No, you're not." And that thought stops right at the brain stem. Mhm. It never makes it to the body because the body is on a different program. So then well the person starts trading that and they start opening their heart. Well their immune system gets stronger by 50%. 50% in 3 days they start making immunogloabbulins. Their body's natural
defense against viruses and bacteras. 50% not a little bit a lot. That's that's one study. And so trading that telling the body it's in the in the environment where it already happened. And so that's when the miracles start happening. That's when people say, "I'm not doing anything." Well, of course you're not. You don't have to. What are a few things we can do to support our inner environment on a daily basis? Ah well listen um the first thing and the and the most important thing for me is knowledge and information. Knowledge is really power and
and knowledge and information about yourself should it should empower you. It should empower the self, right? So when we learn about the immune system and all that can do and you say, "Oh my god, you mean not every virus gets to me." In fact, no. And the more you the more you understand that and the more you coax your immune system into love and into into like we I just did this little thing on um on our social media where I was talking about the inner army of order. What would be the signal you would
want that inner army to get? And so we created this meditation and we said what would invincibility feel like? Signal your body and feel invincible. How would you feel if you had an uncompromising will that you had more energy than you could possibly imagine? Show your body what it feels like because it is that emotion of invincibility, that emotion of an uncompromising will to empower your inner world. And you have the intent of that's what it's for. Wow. Get ready because you're going to start creating a cadence and a rhythm where your your body's going,
"Whoa, what what are what is all these new chemicals? What are all these new signals? Hey, hey, it's time. Hey, hey, uh, now all of a sudden receptor sites on the T- cells go, "Wow, we got some new signals coming from the boss here. Let's open up all those T- cell receptors. Let's go." We, in fact, we're we're we would love a little fight right now because we got a lot of time on our hands and we got all our receptors turned on. Let's go. I mean, that that would be a signal for your body.
We also know that if you could just trade fear and frustration and resentment and suffering uh for an elevated emotion and truly open your heart again and practice doing that um you'll heal. You'll heal. You'll heal because I mean all healings happen in the heart. Can you believe in a future that you can't see or experience with your senses yet, but you've thought about enough times in your mind that your brain is literally changed to look like the event has already occurred? The latest research in neuroscience says you can change your brain from living in
the past to living in the future. And can you fall in love with that vision to such a degree that you come out of your resting state and change guilt or suffering into inspiration and joy and gratitude to such a degree that your body as the unconscious mind does not know the difference between that external event and what you're creating internally. So that your body believes it's living in that future in the present moment. And you begin to signal new genes in new ways to change your body to look like the event has already occurred.
The latest research in epigenetics says you can change your body by thought alone. Now reason this with me. If there's physical evidence in your brain and body to look like the event has already occurred, your brain and body are no longer living in the past. They're living in the future. And you will walk right into your vision. Now, most people in this audience, all of you have done something great in your life. You all have. a reason this you woke up one day or you had a wild thought out of nowhere and that thought was
a possibility in the future something new you wanted to experience and the moment you started thinking about this experience the moment you started contemplating this potential reality you turned on a part of your brain called the frontal lobe the crowning achievement of the human being. It's 40% of your entire brain. It is the creative center and it has connections to all other parts of the brain. And the moment you said, "What would it be like to be a leader? What would it be like to be successful? What would it be like to have this vision
come true?" The moment you ask that open-ended question, you turned on this part of the brain because the rest of the brain is just a bunch of automatic programs. And now the frontal lobe, the creative center wakes up and it has connections to the entire brain. It's the CEO. It's the boss. It's the symphony leader of the brain. And the moment you get creative, the frontal lobe begins to select different networks of neurons that are stored in your brain from things you've learned or experienced. And as you begin to think a whatif question, it begins
to select these different networks and begins to seamlessly piece them together and making your brain fire in new sequences and in new patterns and new combinations. And whenever you make your brain work differently, you're changing your mind because mind is the brain in action. Mind is the brain at work. And the moment those neurons fire in tandem, you get a picture in your mind, a hologram, a vision, an abstraction. And for those people who are passionate, that thought that they're thinking begins to create an elevated emotion. They become inspired. They feel enthusiastic in theos filled
with God. They become passionate. They started to open their hearts. And all of a sudden, they're combining a clear intention with an elevated emotion. And it's the combination of a clear intention and an elevated emotion in our research over and over again that proves then the person now is changing fundamentally, changing biologically, changing internally and their brain and body are moving from living in the past into living in the future. We have such compelling evidence in science with brain scans. You can make your brain work better. You can make your heart work better. You can
make your immune system work better. You can make your cells go from really sick to really healthy. We've got great evidence. You can become immune to serious viruses. You can become immune to bacteria. We've got the measurements. You can lengthen your life. We have great evidence. And the people aren't monks. They're not they're not nuns. They're not religious scholars. They're just common people. And then we have testimony of people who are the example of truth. They are they are the example of truth. I would rather have dinner with those people than anybody anybody else. they
they know something, right? So evidence then becomes the loudest voice, right? And and that's what I think what people are looking for right now. The truth is so lost in sensationalism. And the truth is so lost in emotional agreement. Mhm. And so people who want to feel fear, they program themselves and accept, believe, and surrender that. People who want to be hate, be hateful. It's all there. It's all there. And it's a it's a matrix to find the way out, right? And and and I think I think there's a door. I just I just think
that we have to trust the innate information that that comes from within us. People that were traumatized from childhood, that were abused sexually, physically, emotionally, that were suicidal, that had all kinds of health conditions, they came to the edge of that emotion that kept them connected to the past. And they were ready to give up in one meditation because they they never had felt an emotion like this that they could remember that it was so intense. They thought about all the times for the last year that they never missed a day of doing a meditation
even when they didn't feel like it or they wanted to quit halfway through and they didn't and they went all the way. They thought about all those times that they went to that point and they went one more time really. And their words are always the same. and my heart blew wide open and I look back at my entire past and I don't want to change one thing in my past because it brought me to this present moment and I can see my betrayers I could uh see the people in my life uh that had
a hand in this and I have nothing but compassion for them because now the person is no longer viewing that past from the same level of consciousness they're viewing it from a place of love of wholeness and they see the greater good of all of it and now their their their their conditions, their health conditions, their endometriosis, their uterine tumors, I mean, whatever it is, literally goes disappears and they have an incredible incredible change in their brain chemistry. They're in love with life. They're off their meds. They're not suicidal. They're why would they be? They're
free. So it can happen in an instant when the heart is healed and everybody gets the new signal. The body's out of the past. The body's no longer feeling the emotions of the past. And sometimes we got to come right up against that edge. That's that's the great You give people sound information and then they can repeat that information. They're wiring it in their brain. They're creating a new model of understanding. If you show them how to apply that information, if they do it properly, they will have some type of transformation. That transformation isn't something
that causes people to feel bad or unworthy. It causes them to open their hearts. It causes them to feel joy, to feel gratitude. They feel differently. And if you're able to then create that elevated emotion and you teach people more information, they will continue to transform themselves. And that's called evolution. If you think the same thoughts, the same thoughts always lead to the same choices. The same choices lead to the same behaviors. The same behaviors create the same experiences, and the same experiences produce the same feelings. And you're now caught in your old self. But
new thoughts should lead to new choices and new choices should lead to new behaviors. New behaviors should create new experiences and new experiences should create new emotions and that should inspire evolution. We say that your personality creates your personal reality and your personality is made up of how you think, how you act and how you feel. We could say that your personality is your state of being. So now geniuses, if you keep thinking the same thoughts, keep demonstrating the same behaviors, keep living by the same feelings and emotions, your personal reality is going to stay
exactly the same. But if you have new thoughts that lead to new choices that demonstrate new actions that create new experiences that cause you to feel differently, you will begin to walk into a new future. How many people understand this? So most people try to create a new personal reality as the same personality and it doesn't work. You literally have to become someone else. So crossing the river of change, going from the old self to the new self requires you stepping into the unknown. And if you are now in the unknown and you feel uncomfortable
because you're leaving guilt behind, you leave unworthiness behind. You see, the biggest problem with most people is they want to create wealth, but they feel lack. They want a new life, but they feel unworthy. That's mind and body in opposition. And our research shows that you can teach people how to recondition their body to a new mind. And when that occurs, they begin to create very powerful things in their life. What do you believe is the purpose of life overall? To figure out the purpose of life. Okay. Okay. No, I mean I mean I I
really think it's I think the mathematics uh that I've looked at says there's infinite experiences to have. You will never know the end. Mhm. So then if you study any religion I I mean I've looked at a lot of them. This concept of eternity that the soul is going to be around for eternity. Mhm. That's a long time. Mhm. And that means you got to be okay with you for a very long time. So I think it's I think it's the creation of more experiences and I think to to I think we came from source
from singularity from oneness and we have descended down into density fooled by our senses into separation and every single being has a spark of oneness of the divine within them. And we got so separate that we now have our own free will to answer the question, is there more? Cuz if you're oneness, it gets kind of boring after a while. Like, is there anything else? Well, moment you ask if there's anything else, you're no longer oneness. You're something other than oneness, right? And you're a different consciousness, separate from oneness. So I think then we live
life and then when we can predict the feeling of everything that can happen in our life and gets boring and we're not impressed by anyone or anything, we ask the same question. Is there more? And that's when the soul goes, "All right, well it's been how many lifetimes you've been doing this?" Okay, there's an awakening and the and we ask that question and then all of a sudden we start getting information and books and stuff and meet people and it gets exciting and and it's the it's it's what how the universe works and so we
climb out of this and I just think there's so many incredible experiences that are left in the unknown uh that we get to have and and then of course when when the journey's over and you've evolved to that point uh then you take that wisdom and and you went, you say, "Here's what I learned." And it was scary down there and like, "Boy, I got to tell a great story." And then you hang out there and you go, "Is there anything else besides all?" And then here we go again. It just never I don't That's
my theory. How do we brainwash ourselves in times of stress and anxiety in order to become more peaceful, loving, and successful in the future? How do we brainwash ourselves in a different way? Sure. Well, um that's what uh I have spent just about my whole life. I mean, and and um wow. I mean, the first and most important thing is that you have to understand that if 95% of who you are is a set of unconscious programs, then the first step is lighting a match in a dark place. If you want to become someone else,
you got to become aware of who you are. Yes. That means you got to start thinking about what you've been thinking about. You got to start paying attention to how you speak. Got to be conscious. You demystify the word meditation. And the word meditation literally means become familiar with. Yeah. When you become so familiar with your thoughts, so aware of your emotions, so conscious of your habits that you wouldn't go unconscious to them again. Now you're no longer the program. Right? So, so getting people disentangled from that program, we found out as a formula. And
when we teach people how to do certain things with their focus and opening their awareness, when we teach them how to create a very disorderly brain that has been driven by the hormones of stress into a more orderly, coherent brain and teach them how to open their focus and practice that, they'll come up against those thoughts and they'll become so familiar with them, listen to this, they won't believe him anymore when they come up any longer. Wow. And so when they hear them in their day, they'll be like, "That's not going to stop me from
my future." So if they're sitting there and they want to quit just because they're sitting still and they're not quitting, then they're developing a will that's greater than those programs and you're breaking out of the shell. And you keep doing that, you're going to get up and do the work every day cuz you did it yesterday and you're going to want to do more of that because you're getting out of your past and it feels better. And if you keep doing that and you keep feeling better every day, the question is why wouldn't you do
it every day? because you would ultimately just feel better and then the more whole you feel means the more you are connected to your future. Imagine if you felt every single day and this is what I do work on if I could stay connected to the emotions of my future all day long. There's no way I would be looking for when it would be happening. How could I look for when it would be happening if I feel like it's happening? I wouldn't look anymore, which means I wouldn't be separate from it. And that's when you
start creating the magic, right? That's when you're in that zone and that's when that reaffirms that personality that you're becoming and now you don't, you know, wake up in the morning go, "Oh god, I got to create my future." No, you're you're you're going to jump out of bed because you're not going to want that magic to end. How does the person become the person they are and why do they keep their health condition the same? And well, most people, your brain is a record of the past. It's an artifact fact of everything you've learned
and experienced to this moment. So most people wake up in the morning. If you think that your thoughts have something to do with your destiny, they start thinking about their problems. And those problems are just memories that are etched in their brain that are connected to certain people and objects and certain things at certain times and places. And the moment they start thinking about their problems, they're thinking in the past. Now because every one of those problems has an emotion associated with them. The moment they start feeling unhappy or feeling sad now their bodies in
the past because thoughts are the language of the brain and feelings are the language of the body and how we think and how we feel creates our state of being. Now the problem is is that the person thinks of the problem feels the emotion and that is a thought and feeling. That's a image and an emotion. It's a stimulus and response and that starts the conditioning process. to get the body emotionally conditioned into the past. Now, here's the crazy part about it. The familiar past emotionally is producing dramatic effects on the body because the body
is so objective that it does not know the difference between the real life experience that's creating that emotion and the emotion that person is fabricating by thought or memory alone. The body's believing it's living in the same past experience 7 days a week, 365 days a year. And the problem with that is is that the environment signals the gene. That's epigenetics and the end product of an experience. And the environment is an emotion. So the person is keeping the same gene regulated because the body's believing it's living in the same environmental condition. So getting that
person to step outside of that familiar known territory into the unknown where there is uncertainty and have them be comfortable there and begin to think about how they are going to think. The new model of reality is about causing an effect. That means then you have to feel gratitude every day for your new experience to occur. You can't wait for your success to feel empowered. You have to be empowered to create the success. And when you teach people how to do this and they move into a new state of being, they begin to create the
life that they want. How many people are still with me? But to the materialists, they would say, "Well, no, no, no, no. I'm going to wait for my money to come and then I'm going to give thanks." And those people pretty much are living by the emotions of the past. And if you're living by the emotions of the past, you are viewing your future through the lens of the past. And your vision will fade. Because when you bring up an elevated emotion, you will see the vision clearly. And leaders in history that changed the world
knew how to change a culture. Look at Martin Luther King. He talked about justice and then got enough people inspired that they felt empowered enough to do something about it. People came out of the resting state. And so then you share the same brain as Martin Luther King. And being defined by a vision of the future begins to change a culture. But most people have the same thoughts or the same intentions and they live by the same familiar emotion. The future then is created by a clear intention and an elevated emotion. Now listen closely that
you have to cultivate in your inner environment of thoughts and feelings. But most people by the old self are living from past memories that are created from knowledge and experience from something that happened outside of them. Some experience or trauma that defined them. and getting a person beyond the old self then is the great work. That's what we're here for. So, we've studied motivation and I can tell you without a doubt that the highest form of motivation in any culture, in any group of people, is what's called purpose motivation, duty motivation, or mission motivation. You
know what that is? To have a vision to change a culture that's bigger than you. To instill change in the world. Look at Elon Musk. How many people know who he is? Elon Musk. He created Tesla Motors. You know him? You know who he is? He created an electric car that can go from 0 to 60 in less than 5 seconds. And before him, electric cars were like golf carts that, you know, crawled along the road. And he said, "I'm going to do this. I don't know how I'm going to do it, but I have
a vision, and I'm going to get the best engineers in the world, and instead of creating a new product and selling it to a corporation, I'm going to get a group of people to share the same vision as me. I'm going to change the world by changing our reliance on oil and I am going to make a difference in the world and I am going to make a lot of money. Why not? And so people said no that's not possible and he held on to that vision and now Motor Trend magazine never rated a car
close to 100. They rated the Tesla car 103. It's the best car on the road and it relies on no gas at all. That's a vision of the future. I got run over by a truck and and and I broke six vertebrae in my spine and and I had to make a decision at that time in my life um because the diagnosis wasn't very good and neither was the prognosis and to decide if I was going to spend the rest of my life on addictive medications and with surgical rods in my spine or if I
was going to see if the mind could actually heal the body. And so that was my wakeup call u in 1986. And so so I just um I was at the point where I just had to make a decision to see if it was actually the truth. If if all of this that I learned was the truth. Let's let's apply it. And so I was lucky enough to have a dramatic change in my own personal health. And then I thought, God, if it worked on me, has it worked on other people? So I started looking
into people that had, you know, been treating conventionally or non-conventionally and and with a certain diagnosis and their condition was staying the same or getting worse and all of a sudden it got better and and I just wanted to uh look at what the cause was that was producing that effect. And so I interviewed, you know, hundreds and hundreds of people that had gone through the process. And one of the most fundamental elements that they all had in common were there were a lot of things that had to do with their mind and uh and
some people had specific diets and specific regimes. Some people use certain um you know conventional and non-conventional protocols but the the commonality primarily was about how the mind uh was really influencing the body and and they began to really take a closer look at how uh they were thinking on a daily basis uh how they were acting uh on a regular basis and looking at how they feel uh on a momentto moment basis and and how you think and how you act and how you feel is your personality and your personality has a very direct
relationship with your personal reality. Which means if you want to change your personal reality, if you want to change something about your life, you got to change. And so the process of change then becomes the fundamental process of going from some person that's familiar and known to you and stepping out and beginning to make different choices and to begin think different thinking differently and begin to behave differently and speak differently and feel differently and and if you start thinking acting and feeling differently our research shows without a doubt you're going to have dramatic changes in
your biology and if you do it enough times you're going to become someone else and the disease then all of a sudden exists in in the old personality and not in the new personality. And then you ask the person where's the cancer, where's the rheumatoid arthritis, where's the immune mediated condition, it's in the old person. I'm not that person any longer. If you have been an experienced uh if you had experience of trauma, say for example, and it's created the feeling of fear and your fear is that it could happen again. And you're you don't
know this but every time you think about that future that possible worst case scenario scenario and you feel the emotion you're conditioning your body to become the mind subconsciously of anxiety. So now all all you need now is some cue in your outer environment that says it's unsafe that it's there's damage there that you're you're a victim something's bigger than you that could have an effect on you. Well, now that feeling of fear is going to cause you to think thoughts equal to it. So the person then no longer needs the environment to feel that
fear. They just to have to have the thought about that condition now. And now they're literally knocking their brain and body out of balance by thought alone. And the body's constantly living in emergency mode. It takes a lot of energy, a lot of resources to live in emergency mode all the time. Guess what system becomes compromised by it? Immune system. Your immune system. Why? Because you have two protection systems. You got a you got a system that protects you from dangers in your outer world. That's that's the gas pedal. That's the sympathetic nervous system. That's
a fight orflight nervous system. Danger threat out there. Use all the energy because you got to you got to survive. And when you survive, you got to take care of your body. So, right. So, so now that system can work really well short term. It doesn't work really well if you keep it on all the time because if you're mobilizing all that energy for some thread in your outer world, there's no energy in your inner world for growth and repair. There's no energy for long-term building projects. And energy leaves the brain and it leaves the
heart and it moves into these lower centers because now you're tapping the body's resources because there is an emergency. But whether the emergency is real or imagined, whether your anger is valid or justified or not, that the you're tapping the body's very energy to heal by doing this. And the immune system says, "Well, we're part of really the other nervous system. We're the break. We're the clutch. We need to we need to get into relaxation. We need to get back into balance again." And and when we do, then we'll metabolize. Then we'll we'll assimilate. We'll
reproduce. will will excrete properly. So, so now you got this kind of battle between the gas pedal and the brake and the immune system says, "Hey, listen. If there's foreign agents, if there's viruses, bacteria, molds, funguses, listen, we don't have a whole lot of energy here to deal with them because we're fighting this war out there. There's no homeland security. So, they shut down certain receptors in the immune system. They shut down function of those lymphosytes, those white blood cells that are your inner army of protection. And it takes a lot of energy to fight
a virus and a bacteria. But if there's no energy, hey, listen, it takes energy to raise the body's temperature. Where do you think that comes from? That's part of that branch called the autonomic nervous system. And the sympathetic, the gas pedal is part of it. And the parasympathetic is the clutch is part of that autonomic nervous system. And it's a check and balance. Let's talk about the neuroscience of culture because there is a neuroscience to it. You have a brain that looks just like the person sitting next to you. And if I was to screw
off the top of your heads and take out your brain and your partner's brain, someone sitting next to you, and I went like this, and I set them out, you probably wouldn't be able to tell them apart because you share the same structure in your brain. And we call that universal traits. We call it gross anatomy. Now, because you share the same brain as the person sitting next to you, you smile when you're happy. You frown when you're sad. You sleep at night. Well, this is Mexico. You sleep kind of late at night and get
up kind of late in the morning. Come on, I'm kidding. And you know, you grab a stick the same way. We speak a language. And because we share the same gross anatomy of the brain, we have very universal traits that we have in common. How many people are with me? But now how your brain is wired is your individuality and that's the minute architecture or the m minute structure of the brain. So then your brain is wired different than the person next to you because you have different experiences. But if you share the same experiences
because you're in a relationship, then you have similar brains that are kind of relating. And relationships are built on common experiences. If we share the same experiences, we share the same emotions. And if we share the same emotions, we can relate with each other. So then think about it like this. You have a hand. And because you have a hand, you you have the same hand as the person next to you. There's only a certain amount of things you can do with your hand. But now what makes you unique is your fingerprint that gives you
your individuality. And that is really the minute anatomy of something related to a hand. Are you with me? So now what is the division that unifies both the universal traits and our individual traits? And the answer is culture. Culture. And culture is defined by the environment in which you live, the environment in which you work, the environment of your family. An environment is made up of just a few things. Are you ready? People, objects, things, places, time, pets, and that's pretty much your environment. So, the culture of Mexico City is defined by the environment. You
eat certain foods, you like certain music, you relate with one another because of the environment in which you live in. And that culture is created from the environment which is different than the culture of Mongolia because it's a different environment and they have different traditions. They have different customs because they've had to survive in a different environment. And so what unifies individual individual traits and universal traits is called culture. Now think about this. Most cultures are defined by the customs they have. the traditions, the language, their survival skills, their habits, their attitudes, their beliefs, their
history, their arts, their social structures that have unified them as an individual culture. Are you still with me? So the people you work with, the people you relate with, the people you interact with, you share a similar culture that bonds you both as an individual and as a species called human beings. And Mexicans are different than Australians because they live in a different environment and they have different traditions. You still with me? But we could say then that culture typically is defined by things that have worked in the past. So then most cultures then have
a choice to create a new culture means then you have to define your culture as a vision of the future. But most people their cultures are based on the past present reality. What does that mean? We are in a changing world and the world is changing faster than most people can keep up. And if you are going to stay defined by a memory of the past, you will not keep up with this culture because we are creating a g global culture. So then what defines the vision of the future to change a culture? And the
answer is a very clear intention, a clear purpose combined with an elevated emotion. And when you combine a clear intention like a vision of the future along with an elevated emotion of inspiration and joy, you will create an empowered individual. What's something that you've said in the past that you were confident about it then, but now upon reflection you're like, "Oh, actually, I've changed my mind about that." Oh, that it takes a long time to create reality. I'm going to ask you to expand on that cuz I like that answer. I want to know more.
That's fascinating. Well, um I think just like anything else, uh you learn how to snowboard, you go through that learning curve, you learn how to ride a bike, you go through that learning curve. Uh that that I used to think that creation was hard. M I just thought it it took a lot of energy and it took a lot of sacrifice and you had to work for it and great answer and uh God I mean even my definition of surrender today is very different than it was just 3 months ago because I'm always doing it
and so I think that it doesn't have to be that way. I just think that it could be any way you want and that and I'm working on that changing that belief. Personal conviction motivation. We call these people self-starters. This is entrepreneurial motivation. This is when you say, "I'm going to do this because I said I was going to do it." Still a high form of motivation, but not the highest form. But what we know that people who have purpose motivation naturally are personally convicted. their their personal conviction is in alignment with their purpose because
they have a reason to get up every day. If someone is so disconnected to their future, their greater future self, if they're so uh negative thoughts, suicidal thoughts often uh hurting themselves potentially often. What can they start to do to just give some a little bit of relief and peace in their heart? Yeah, it's simple. knowledge, experience, wisdom. Philosophy, initiate that philosophy, master it. Y mind, body, soul, thinking, doing, being, learning it with your head, applying it with your hands, knowing it by heart. And this is the journey of knowledge because when you learn that
information and you really study it, you are going to begin to see the world differently because your brain is changing. Then when you start saying how can I use this? How can I apply it? How can I personalize it? How can I do something? Initiate this information. What do I got to do? How do I get my behaviors to match my intentions? Now this is the act of trial and error. It's so important. You don't make it the first time. You don't give up. You get up and you try to walk again. And you start
learning how to do this. And so as you begin to do it over and over again, you start having new experiences. Yes. Well, new experiences enrich the circuits in your brain philosophically. And now the brain makes a chemical. And now you're feeling more unlimited. You're feeling more whole. You're teaching your body chemically to understand what your mind intellectually understood. And now you are literally literally starting to embody that knowledge. It's becoming it's signaling new G. It's new information. But but you can't do it one day and expect your wealth to come. You got to do
it over and over again. So the repetition of practicing over and over again neurochemically conditions the mind and body begin to work as one. You've done it so many times. The body now knows how how to do it subconsciously. Just like it just like it knew how to subconsciously lean into trauma and victim mode for decades now. The body's getting new information. It's going to adapt. And and now you're going to literally become that knowledge. You're going to become it. That's what you're going to become. And so now that's when you no longer have to
try. It's who you are. It's Yes. Yeah. You've memorized an internal order that's greater than anything in your outer world that's going to tell you something else. That's key right there. I was looking uh closely and there are people that do this work, do do this transformation work in the meditations that we teach and they're so impatient and they're so entitled uh and they want an instantaneous change from the lack and pain they're feeling right that they never overcome themselves in their meditation. They never overcome themselves in the meditation and when they finish their meditation
they believe in this work less. M then there are people who say I can tell you the moment I made up my mind to change because I had reached the end and I made a decision and that decision to change carried an amplitude of energy that was greater than the hardwired programs in my brain and the emotional conditioning in my body and my body literally responded to my mind in that moment that the choice that I made became a moment in time I would never forget and they'll tell you and that's the moment I remembered
when I was going to change. Now, those people then when they sit down to do the work, they're the the chemotherapy hasn't worked, uh the injections didn't work, uh the radiation didn't work, uh the surgery didn't work, the diet didn't work, the yoga didn't work. This is this is now their end. They have nothing else to believe in but themselves. And they go all in. Not 50%, not 60%, they're going all in. They have nothing else to believe in. Now, listen. When they go a little bit outside the known, they've got they went a little
further than where they normally would stop. They pushed themselves to that next limit, they started believing in themselves that they could do it a little bit more. They they finish the meditation and they get up and believing it's it's it's working more than working less. They're the person that's believing in themsel. That's why because it's not the work, it's your belief in yourself, right? It's and then when you believe in yourself, you believe in possibilities. When you believe in possibilities, you got to believe in yourself. To the materialist who's waiting for their wealth to show
up to feel abundant, they're in their past. The person who's waiting for the success to feel empowered is in their past. The person who's waiting for their healing to feel wholeness, they're in their past. The person who's waiting for the riches to come to feel gratitude, they're in their past. They're materialists. In other words, you have to feel empowered in order for your success to show up. You have to feel abundant for your wealth to find you. You have to be in gratitude for you to create the life that you want. And by you teaching
your body emotionally what that future could feel like ahead of the actual experience is changing your biology because most people wait for something outside of them to change how they feel inside of them. If something outside of you is controlling your feelings and thoughts then it makes you a victim to your environment. So then so you will be more victimized or more you could be more of a victim to other things in your environment. People don't understand this consciously because it's a program subconsciously. So, so now if you begin to strengthen your inner environment, now
this is where our work comes in because we have research to show that when you place your attention right here in your heart, this center right here, this is this is the beginning of our divinity. This is our center of oneness, our wholeness. This is where we begin to feel love, gratitude, compassion, kindness, care, freedom, joy. Um, it's all these elevated emotions that are heartfelt emotions that our research shows that when you begin to teach people how to open this center and you teach them a formula on how to practice it Mhm. that if they
did that for 4 days that they would begin to strengthen their immune system by 50%. And now let me tell you why. Because in the center is your heart. But what most people don't know, there's another gland in there called the thymus gland. Thy leaf. It's named after the the the thyme leaf. And the thymus gland has two functions. It has an endocrinological function. It makes growth hormone at our youth center. Mhm. And it makes uh strong immune chemicals and it has an immunological function. So, when you're living by stress and your heart is racing
and you're stepping on the gas and the brake at the same time because you can't run, you can't fight, you can't hide. And you got the gas and the clutch cone, energy is going to leave the heart and it's going to the adrenal center and you're going to cause contraction in the arteries in your heart. And this center will shut down from blood flow. And so, there's no energy in the heart. So, you teach a person then how to begin to open this center and to start feeling elevated emotions through their heart. and you teach
them how to switch or convert from the sympathetic nervous system to the parasympathetic nervous system. Well, all of a sudden now this thymus gland which normally shrinks with age and starting at puberty, the fountain of youth now all of a sudden begins to get new blood flow and there's new hormones that are signaled like oxytocin and vasop prein and all these different chemicals called um nitric oxide and endothelial derived relaxing factor and the arteries in the heart begin to swell with energy and blood flow. And this center switches on and now it says, man, this
feels good and this is a time for us to really get back into balance and really let's strengthen our inner world now. And now all of a sudden this thymus gland begins to make thyosin which is an important agent that begins to make TE-C cells. And TE-C cells have little receptors on them called TE-C cell receptors. And when those TE-C cell receptors are robust and strong, those cells make proteins and they make what's called antibodies or immune immunogloabbulins. And these little Yshaped proteins block the receptors coming from the virus that are trying to attack the
white blood cells. They have a shield and now they're they're immune to the to the virus and it's attacked with its receptor and it can literally begin to inject it with these immunogloabbulins primarily amunogloabbulin A and that begins to cause the virus to not survive and then that white blood cell will uh pass another white blood cell and pass on the memory to it so it already knows what's coming. So now all of a sudden you're making these immunogloabbulins and now your inner world now can combat anything that's that's a foreign agent and even cancer
cells. I have three kids and I've raised my kids with these principles and and I think uh there are critical periods, Ed, where certain information uh is more understood uh and certain periods where uh you can you can really advance uh a teaching or an understanding. But children, you know, their first six years of their life, they're very suggestible to information and their brain waves are just in a slower pattern. So they don't have any critical facilities or analytical facilities. So big boys don't cry. Little girls should be seen and not heard. Money is the
root of all evil. God is mad at you. You're going to go to hell. So kids just take that all in without any filter and that becomes the foundation of their personality and our identity. Then you throw in parents that are 95% of the time running unconscious programs. Well, children have mirror neurons and mirror neurons emulate behavior. So when you were feeding your kids when they were young, you took that spoon and you went like this. You didn't know you were doing that, but you were doing that and they were watching you when you were
watching them and they were they were turning on the same circuits in their brain that you were turning on just so they could model the behavior. So So then you can't say to the kid, "Stop being an emotional basket case." Because they're not listening to anything you're saying. They're they're observing behavior. So when a lionist takes her cubs out to hunt, they sit and they watch her and they're when they're watching her, she's priming their brain. They're actually going to emulate her behavior. So as they start observing her, they they start turning on the same
circuits they will when they hunt. So they start imprinting it, right? So then with children, then I call it the fast path to enlightenment because if you want to raise a great kid, you got to be the example. Yeah. And so, um, you know, there's certain principles with children, uh, in certain critical periods. You don't tell your kids when they're four years old, you create your reality, fix this. You know, it's not they're not ready for that. But there are certain things at certain periods of time that are really healthy. And and teaching children how
to shorten the refractory period of their emotional reactions is so important. And simple things like a trampoline is a great way when a kid is upset, just change your state. Let's go. Yeah, let's go. And they jump and you jump with them. 10 minutes later it's gone. Isn't that true? And so then you're you're teaching them that kind of emotional intelligence. Parents need to know that it's so important to understand to never rationalize with your kid when they're emotional. Why? Because do you want to hear anything when you're emotional or do you want to be
left alone? because no new information can enter their nervous system that is not equal to the emotion that they're experiencing. It's not relevant. So then getting them past their emotional state and teaching them how to shorten their refractory period and then timing, okay, when they start getting ready for bed and it's getting loving and it's getting quiet and they're settling down, get in bed with them and you lay there and you say, you know, I had a tough day today. It's I've been working on my frustration, you know, and I didn't do very well today.
I just I got angry at a few points. I got frustrated and I stayed that way for like three hours. And you just open the door for kids and they'll say, "Yeah, you know, I was playing today." And they'll they'll automatically say, "And I got so frustrated with my friend Paris, you know, and I'll say, well, that's all right." You know, that's normal. We all do that. What I care about the most is that if you had another opportunity tomorrow in the same situation, how would you do it better? Oh my god. And then they'll
say, "Well, I would do this." And then you say, "Really, if you do that, this is probably going to happen, so let's work on this together." So, you start building a model and you help them cuz they're so neuroplastic. And then once you get that model in place, then you say to them, "Tell me how to do it again. What would you do now? What are they doing? They're rehearsing. And so now they're installing the circuitry. And then you say, "Wait, one more time. One more time." Cuz you forgot that one part. And you'd be
surprised cuz they're in that right suggestible state. And then they get the model down. And then you say, "Okay, I'm going to tell you a story. There was these two kids, a boy and a girl, cuz you have a boy and a girl, right? And they lived in this magic land. And if they're young, there's castles and and there's dragons. And this little girl had a best friend, you know, and you tell the whole story. she was making this reaction the same time in the same way and all of a sudden you know she just
decided to do something differently and then you repeat it and then you say you know what happened she wound up being happier and more loving to herself and more loving with everybody else and you know your kids will go was that me and you say I don't know was it so then you're planting the seed because you made it this far in a video I want to celebrate you most People start and don't finish. Most people never actually follow through. Most people say they want something, but they don't ever do the work to actually get
it. But you are different. You are special. Believe Nation. You made it here all the way to the end. And I love you. So, as a special celebration, if you put a hashtag believe down in the comments below on this video, I will showcase you and celebrate you somewhere on the screen in a future video because you are awesome. For 10 more amazing rules from John Asaraf, check the video right there next to me. I think you'll love it. Continue to believe and I'll see you there. A lot of athletes have this term around the
agame and showing up and doing their absolute best mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually, etc. And it got me thinking about do you even know what your a
