SPEAKER_08
I've been trying to write a promo for our podcast, Part-Time Genius, but even though we've done over 250 episodes, we don't really talk about murders or cults.
0
SPEAKER_09
I mean, we did just cover the Illuminati of cheese, so I feel like that makes us pretty edgy.
0
SPEAKER_09
We also solve mysteries like how Chinese is your Chinese food and how do dollar stores make money?
0
SPEAKER_09
And then, of course, can you game a dog show?
0
SPEAKER_09
So what you're saying is everyone should be listening.
0
SPEAKER_09
Listen to Part-Time Genius on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
0
SPEAKER_05
 You realize that it never came from anything out there.
0
SPEAKER_05
It didn't come from the wardrobe or the facelift, the sports car, whatever.
0
SPEAKER_05
It came from within you.
0
SPEAKER_05
And so you stop looking out there for it.
0
SPEAKER_05
And now the love affair begins.
0
SPEAKER_05
And you never want to miss a date because it's just too good.
0

0
SPEAKER_06
And today's guest is one that we've had on before, but one of your favorites.
0
SPEAKER_06
So there's only a couple of guests that we've had on a couple of times, and today's is going to be a real treat.
0
SPEAKER_06
We have the one and only Dr. Joe Dispenza.
0
SPEAKER_06
Joe, it is such a pleasure to have you back.
0
SPEAKER_06
 I was finally remembering the last time we were together and I have to say my audience loved the conversation.
0
SPEAKER_06
They got so much out of it.
0
SPEAKER_06
The amount that you share every time, and I'm a fan, so I watch you all the time.
0
SPEAKER_06
So I listen to all your interviews and I always gain something new.
0
SPEAKER_06
And what I loved about our approach last time is you have this unique ability to be able to go really deep into the science
0
SPEAKER_06
 and then bring it back to being really accessible.
0
SPEAKER_06
And then you add this layer of spirituality over it too.
0
SPEAKER_06
And I love that kind of blend.
0
SPEAKER_06
So thank you for being you.
0
SPEAKER_06
Oh, thank you, Jay.
0
SPEAKER_06
I'm happy to be here.
0
SPEAKER_06
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_06
And you look really well.
0
SPEAKER_06
I mean, it's been a crazy year for everyone.
0
SPEAKER_06
Yeah.
0
SPEAKER_06
For you as well.
0
SPEAKER_06
I mean, you know, you're used to doing so many events and packed out audiences.
0
SPEAKER_06
And of course last year that may have been slightly affected and what's,
0
SPEAKER_06
 the biggest difficulty or challenge you've had to overcome in the past 12 months?
0
SPEAKER_05
First of all, one of the things about the global pandemic that I said to my staff and to my family the moment I heard how the circumstances in the world changed, I just said I refuse to be a victim to these circumstances.
0
SPEAKER_05
So a victim consciousness is when
0
SPEAKER_05
 We allow something in our outer environment to control the way we feel and think.
0
SPEAKER_05
So if I say to you, Jay, why are you so upset today?
0
SPEAKER_05
And you said, oh, it's because of this person or circumstance.
0
SPEAKER_05
What you're really saying is something in my outer environment, some person or some condition is controlling the way I think and feel.
0
SPEAKER_05
Now that's not the truth.
0
SPEAKER_05
That's just a response, right?
0
SPEAKER_05
 So anything that controls our thoughts and feelings causes us to be victim to those things.
0
SPEAKER_05
And the stronger the emotion we feel to some circumstance in our life, the more we pay attention to it.
0
SPEAKER_05
And where we place our attention is where we place our energy.
0
SPEAKER_05
So we're giving our life force, we're giving our power away to that circumstance.
0
SPEAKER_05
And so I just made up my mind that
0
SPEAKER_05
 It was a great opportunity to get into the cocoon.
0
SPEAKER_05
And I don't think I've been healthier in my life.
0
SPEAKER_05
I mean, I'm usually on six different time zones in four weeks, running a lot of events, as you said.
0
SPEAKER_05
But I saw it as an opportunity to really self-reflect, to really immerse myself into my own personal work.
0
SPEAKER_05
 to redo our website, to redo our brand, to connect more with my staff, to cook my own meals again and work out and use my body and do my walking meditations on the beach and of course
0
SPEAKER_05
 I've had a fabulous, fabulous nine months or so.
0
SPEAKER_05
But I think, you know, I think one of the challenges I think many people have is really the discernment of information.
0
SPEAKER_05
It's really difficult to know what's the truth anymore just because information is so accessible.
0
SPEAKER_05
And I used to say that in an age of information, ignorance is a choice.
0
SPEAKER_05
And now we have to confront a whole nother level, and that is
0
SPEAKER_05
 the information that we're getting, is it actually supporting us or is it something that really is an incentive to cause us to make choices?
0
SPEAKER_05
So for me, I think the biggest challenge has been just really an awakening to what kind of information I want to expose myself to.
0
SPEAKER_05
And I think it's now more than ever a challenge for a lot of people in the world.
0
SPEAKER_06
 Yeah, I think it's really interesting to hear you say that difference between reacting to our external changes and uncertainty versus responding.
0
SPEAKER_06
We hear that a lot and then the pandemic comes along and
0
SPEAKER_06
 everyone feels, we all feel we have legitimate reasons and true reasons external of us that we can't control to feel a different way.
0
SPEAKER_06
But I've heard you say before that our thoughts can make us sick.
0
SPEAKER_06
And that always sticks with me.
0
SPEAKER_06
Like whenever I think of you saying that, that always sticks with me.
0
SPEAKER_06
What are some of the challenging thoughts that we've all developed in the last 12 months that you think are affecting how we feel?
0
SPEAKER_05
 First of all, every time we have a thought, we make a chemical.
0
SPEAKER_05
And if you have an unlimited thought, you will feel unlimited.
0
SPEAKER_05
And if you have a self-depreciating thought, you'll feel unworthy.
0
SPEAKER_05
And your brain instantaneously fires circuits
0
SPEAKER_05
 that signal another part of the brain to release peptides or chemical messengers that signal hormonal centers.
0
SPEAKER_05
And when we get that arousal from the thought that we think, those thoughts sometimes weaken, the response weakens the physical body.
0
SPEAKER_05
So it turns out that
0
SPEAKER_05
 The emotions that are created from the thoughts are the signaling mechanisms of the body.
0
SPEAKER_05
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.
0
SPEAKER_05
So it turns out that the thoughts based in the stress hormones, based in survival, those are the thoughts that begin to push the genetic buttons that create disease.
0
SPEAKER_05
In other words, a person wakes up in the morning
0
SPEAKER_05
 And the brain is a record of the past.
0
SPEAKER_05
The first thing they do when they wake up in the morning is they start thinking about their problems.
0
SPEAKER_05
And those problems are memories that are etched in the brain that are connected to certain people, certain objects, certain things at certain times and places.
0
SPEAKER_05
So if you believe that your thoughts have something to do with your destiny, the moment you think about your problems, you're thinking in the past, right?
0
SPEAKER_05
 Now every one of those problems has an emotion associated with them because we've experienced them.
0
SPEAKER_05
So the moment you remember your problems, now you feel unhappy.
0
SPEAKER_05
Now you feel anxious.
0
SPEAKER_05
Now you feel fear.
0
SPEAKER_05
So the moment we feel those emotions, it takes a thought and a feeling, a memory or an image and an emotion, a stimulus and a response, and we start conditioning the body emotionally into the past.
0
SPEAKER_05
Now the body is so objective.
0
SPEAKER_05
 that it doesn't know the difference between the real-life experience that's creating that emotion and the emotion that person's fabricating by thought alone.
0
SPEAKER_05
The body's believing it's in that environmental condition.
0
SPEAKER_05
So if the environment signals the gene, and that's the truth, and the end product of an experience in the environment is an emotion,
0
SPEAKER_05
 we're signaling the same genes, and genes make proteins.
0
SPEAKER_05
And if you keep signaling the same genes, you start down-regulating the gene and make cheaper proteins, and the body begins to break down.
0
SPEAKER_05
Now, that's an unconscious process.
0
SPEAKER_05
 So what goes along with that is the moment the person feels that emotion of unhappiness or whatever it is, the brain checks in with the body and says, yeah, you're feeling pretty miserable, you're suffering.
0
SPEAKER_05
And we tend to generate more thoughts equal to the feeling that we have.
0
SPEAKER_05
And so then we get caught in this loop of thinking and feeling.
0
SPEAKER_05
So if we can't think greater than how we feel, our feelings have become the means of thinking, and we're thinking in the past, right?
0
SPEAKER_05
 And so we call that the familiar past.
0
SPEAKER_05
And then a person gets going in the day and they start thinking, oh, I got to see this person.
0
SPEAKER_05
I got to go to that meeting.
0
SPEAKER_05
I hate doing this.
0
SPEAKER_05
And now they get in their routine.
0
SPEAKER_05
And a habit is a redundant set of automatic unconscious thoughts, behaviors, and emotions that's acquired through repetition.
0
SPEAKER_05
A habit is when you've done something so many times that the body now knows how to do it better than the mind.
0
SPEAKER_05
 So now the person running through the same routine every single day is on autopilot and their body's now dragging them into a predictable future based on what they did in the past and they've lost their free will to a set of programs, right?
0
SPEAKER_05
So now you have the familiar past and you have the predictable future, those are knowns.
0
SPEAKER_05
 So the only place then reasonably where the unknown exists is the sweet spot of the generous present moment.
0
SPEAKER_05
That is when the body and mind are free from those conditions.
0
SPEAKER_05
So along with those emotions that influence the same thoughts, people start becoming more judgmental.
0
SPEAKER_05
They start becoming more impatient.
0
SPEAKER_05
They start becoming more entitled.
0
SPEAKER_05
They start getting more afraid, more anxious, more depressed.
0
SPEAKER_05
And now the body is literally being depleted.
0
SPEAKER_05
 of energy because it's believing that it's living in an emergency situation.
0
SPEAKER_05
And in emergency, you tap all of the body's resources for some threat, whether it's real or imagined.
0
SPEAKER_05
And so then when you're releasing all of these chemicals, we are literally drawing the body's life force and turning it into chemistry.
0
SPEAKER_05
And so for the short term, that's cool.
0
SPEAKER_05
But the arousal that's created from those stress hormones is a rush of energy.
0
SPEAKER_05
 And so then people use the problems.
0
SPEAKER_05
 and the conditions in their life to reaffirm their conditioning or their addiction to that emotion.
0
SPEAKER_05
And in a sense, they become addicted to the life they don't even like.
0
SPEAKER_05
And this is why change is so hard.
0
SPEAKER_05
So then when a person makes up their mind to change and they say, okay, I'm not gonna say I can't, I'm not gonna judge another person, I'm not gonna blame, I'm not gonna complain, I'm not gonna make excuses, I'm not gonna be a victim, I'm not gonna talk trash about anybody, I'm just gonna stop.
0
SPEAKER_05
Well, that works out really well for the first couple hours.
0
SPEAKER_05
 And the body's saying, you're out of schedule.
0
SPEAKER_05
You normally at eight in the morning, you're getting traffic and you're angry.
0
SPEAKER_05
Then at 11 o'clock, you check your emails and you're really judgmental and frustrated.
0
SPEAKER_05
The body's saying, well, you've been doing this for the last 20 years.
0
SPEAKER_05
You're just going to stop today.
0
SPEAKER_05
So now the body, which has been conditioned emotionally to be the mind, wants to return back to its familiar territory, to the known.
0
SPEAKER_05
So the body starts influencing the mind.
0
SPEAKER_05
And it says, you know, come on.
0
SPEAKER_05
 This is a good time to judge.
0
SPEAKER_05
Come on, this is a good time to suffer.
0
SPEAKER_05
It's your ex's fault, it's the government's fault, it's the weather, the news, whatever it is.
0
SPEAKER_05
And if we accept, believe and surrender to that thought without analyzing it, it slips by and it begins to program the autonomic nervous system to make those pharmacy of chemicals.
0
SPEAKER_05
 And so that's when the person makes the same choice, does the same thing, creates the same experience just for that familiar feeling.
0
SPEAKER_05
Okay, I'll complain just so I can feel suffering.
0
SPEAKER_05
Then they'd rather be unhappy than step into the unknown, to step into possibility.
0
SPEAKER_05
And the hardest part about that process, first of all, is not making the same choice as you did the day before, and here's the payoff.
0
SPEAKER_05
 You got to stay conscious and not go unconscious.
0
SPEAKER_05
And it turns out that 95% of the time we're unconscious.
0
SPEAKER_05
So if you're going to stay conscious, then there's an element that also requires a certain amount of awareness or energy.
0
SPEAKER_05
And you got to step outside of that unconscious state.
0
SPEAKER_05
So the thoughts that they're thinking,
0
SPEAKER_05
 are slipping by their awareness unnoticed because they're hardwired in their brain because they've been saying, I can't, it's too hard, my life will never change, it's someone else's fault.
0
SPEAKER_05
Those thoughts have consequences in the body.
0
SPEAKER_05
So then if a person then becomes conscious of those unconscious thoughts, becomes aware of how they speak and how they act, and they notice how they're feeling, they're no longer the program.
0
SPEAKER_05
They're the consciousness outside the program, and that's the first step to change.
0
SPEAKER_05
 When you're distracted by your environment and you got your cell phone and you're tweeting and you're Instagramming and Facebook and whatever people do, you're distracted by that feeling.
0
SPEAKER_05
 But I now know that if you take a person and you say, okay, close your eyes, sit in the silence of any external stimulation, remove the environment, sit your body down like an animal, body is the animal, tell it to stay.
0
SPEAKER_05
I'm gonna feed you, you can check your cell phone, you can shower, you can have your coffee, but when I say,
0
SPEAKER_05
 And so then here comes the challenge, right?
0
SPEAKER_05
And then if you say then you're not going to live in the familiar past or predictable future, you're not going to think about how long you've been meditating, what you got to do.
0
SPEAKER_05
You labor for that present moment.
0
SPEAKER_05
 People think when they do this that they're doing something wrong because there's such discomfort that comes with it.
0
SPEAKER_05
But they're in the unknown, they're actually doing it right.
0
SPEAKER_05
People say, I think I'm meditating wrong.
0
SPEAKER_05
I always say, oh, no, no, no, you're doing it right.
0
SPEAKER_05
Because when you notice that your body wants to get up and check your cell phone or have a cup of coffee and you become aware that it's on autopilot and wants to do that, and you say, uh-uh, come on over here, and you return it back to the present moment,
0
SPEAKER_05
 you're executing a will now that's greater than the program.
0
SPEAKER_05
And if the person wants to just get angry, while they're sitting there, there's an arousal, and they notice the body is amping up and revving up, and they settle it back down, now they're telling the body it's no longer the mind.
0
SPEAKER_05
That they're the mind.
0
SPEAKER_05
Now, we've researched this.
0
SPEAKER_05
 And it's tedious in the beginning at first, because David is fighting Goliath.
0
SPEAKER_05
But if you keep practicing it, just like training an animal, sooner or later, the body acquiesces.
0
SPEAKER_05
Sooner or later, the body is trained to a new mind.
0
SPEAKER_05
And when that happens, there's a liberation of energy.
0
SPEAKER_05
The body goes from particle to wave, from matter to energy.
0
SPEAKER_05
And there goes that emotion, literally liberated from body as energy.
0
SPEAKER_05
 So the person who has the strong emotion to some circumstance in their life.
0
SPEAKER_05
 And they're working on lowering the volume of that emotion.
0
SPEAKER_05
The more they lower the volume of that emotion, the more they're going to take their attention off that person and problem, and they're going to take their power back.
0
SPEAKER_05
There's going to be a break in their attention from that circumstance.
0
SPEAKER_05
And now they build their own field.
0
SPEAKER_05
And now there's energy to heal.
0
SPEAKER_05
Now there's energy to create a new life.
0
SPEAKER_05
Now there's energy for the mystical moment, because they've overcome their old personality self.
0
SPEAKER_05
 I think, you know, it's not like thinking positively, that's not the message.
0
SPEAKER_05
It's overcoming, overcoming, overcoming, overcoming until we become somebody else.
0
SPEAKER_05
And when that occurs, and the person starts thinking differently, and they start acting differently, and they start feeling differently, they're a new personality, and they start seeing those synchronicities and serendipities.
0
SPEAKER_05
Now, crossing that river of change,
0
SPEAKER_05
 The creative process now gets exciting because what thoughts do you want to fire and wire in your brain?
0
SPEAKER_05
What kind of attention and intention do you want to place so that that becomes the loudest voice in your head?
0
SPEAKER_05
And if you keep practicing it, the hardware becomes a software program and it'll say, Jay, you can do anything.
0
SPEAKER_05
Jay, you live in no time and accomplish everything.
0
SPEAKER_05
Jay,
0
SPEAKER_05
 You're unlimited, you just gotta hang with it.
0
SPEAKER_05
On the other side of this is greatness.
0
SPEAKER_05
Whatever you want to program in there, you get to program in there.
0
SPEAKER_05
If you sat down and say, how am I going to be with my wife, my husband, my partner, how am I going to be with my kids, how am I going to be at work with my co-workers, how am I going to be in traffic?
0
SPEAKER_05
 And you close your eyes and you begin to rehearse in your mind.
0
SPEAKER_05
If you're truly present, the brain does not know the difference between the real life experience and what you're imagining.
0
SPEAKER_05
So now the brain goes from a record of the past to a map to the future.
0
SPEAKER_05
Now you're installing the hardware.
0
SPEAKER_05
Keep practicing it, it becomes automatic, it becomes easier.
0
SPEAKER_05
Now it's a software program.
0
SPEAKER_05
You may just start behaving differently.
0
SPEAKER_05
And then if you said, well listen, I'm not going to wait for my healing.
0
SPEAKER_05
 to feel gratitude.
0
SPEAKER_05
I'm not gonna wait for my new relationship to feel love.
0
SPEAKER_05
I'm gonna actually teach my body emotionally what that future feels like before it happens.
0
SPEAKER_05
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?
0
SPEAKER_06
Awaiting and postponing.
0
SPEAKER_05
Awaiting is not creating, I mean, period.
0
SPEAKER_05
And when people are, they could have the greatest intentions in the world,
0
SPEAKER_05
 But if they don't combine that with an elevated emotion, there's no signal.
0
SPEAKER_05
Because the elevated emotion is the carrier, it's the energy that carries the thought.
0
SPEAKER_05
 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?
0
SPEAKER_05
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 whole process around.
0
SPEAKER_05
 They can't be looking for it.
0
SPEAKER_05
Why would they be looking for it if they felt like it already happened?
0
SPEAKER_05
Now there's no separation.
0
SPEAKER_05
Now this is when those serendipities and coincidences and opportunities begin to show up in people's lives.
0
SPEAKER_05
So it's work, but then when they start seeing the experience in their life,
0
SPEAKER_05
 all of a sudden they start believing they're more of the creator of their life and less of the victim of their life.
0
SPEAKER_06
Yes, absolutely.
0
SPEAKER_06
So many parts of that I want to unpack with you, but what a beautiful answer to our reflection on the last 12 months and what we're creating for ourselves.
0
SPEAKER_06
There were parts of it that I wanted to comment on.
0
SPEAKER_06
One was the idea you mentioned around
0
SPEAKER_06
 being recognizing that the unknown is actually the place of growth.
0
SPEAKER_06
And I think there's so much beauty in that what you were saying about meditation.
0
SPEAKER_06
I remember always being trained that we think that getting distracted is taking us away from meditation when actually the awareness that you are distracted is meditation.
0
SPEAKER_05
 Right, the problem is the thought that comes after, like, I can't meditate, it's too hard.
0
SPEAKER_05
No, on the other side of that thought is your healing.
0
SPEAKER_05
So I say to people when they come to our workshops, oh, I'm going to take you way further than where you normally stop.
0
SPEAKER_05
Because you're only going to have two choices.
0
SPEAKER_05
You're going to let your energy drop, and suffer, and get into time, and my body, and when's this going to end, and I'm hungry.
0
SPEAKER_05
And those are all primal drives.
0
SPEAKER_05
 Or you're going to apply a formula and in the unknown, you learn how to be comfortable in the unknown.
0
SPEAKER_05
And when people, this is so funny because you stretch a person outside of the known and it's not scary.
0
SPEAKER_05
Nothing happened to them.
0
SPEAKER_05
And all of a sudden they relax more into the present moment.
0
SPEAKER_05
They're not thinking about what's going to happen tomorrow.
0
SPEAKER_05
They're not going to think about what happened yesterday.
0
SPEAKER_05
Now we watch 1,500 people just by the end of an event, just totally present.
0
SPEAKER_05
 It's completely different people.
0
SPEAKER_05
And where you place your attention is where you place your energy.
0
SPEAKER_05
There's energy for them to heal.
0
SPEAKER_05
They have energy.
0
SPEAKER_05
They can execute.
0
SPEAKER_05
So it's something that it's hard to, you can only talk around.
0
SPEAKER_05
It's like, how do you explain a mango to somebody?
0
SPEAKER_05
What does it taste like?
0
SPEAKER_05
You gotta experience it.
0
SPEAKER_05
So, but the cool thing about it, I think, of course, speaking from my present state of ignorance, but I've been watching closely.
0
SPEAKER_05
 You know, you can't tell me any longer that you're too sick to do this work.
0
SPEAKER_05
I have seen in the last couple of years blind people seeing, deaf people hearing, people with strokes that were paralyzed, moving their limbs, people with Parkinson's disease that had tremors or paralysis moving, MS, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, rare genetic disorders, tumors.
0
SPEAKER_05
There it is, then it's gone.
0
SPEAKER_05
You can't tell me you're too sick to do this work.
0
SPEAKER_05
I mean, of course people,
0
SPEAKER_05
 come up against themselves.
0
SPEAKER_05
And when they come up against themselves, those sick people came up against their fear, like you're going to die in three months.
0
SPEAKER_05
And they had every reason to not do the work, but they showed up in spite of their fear and they overcame their fear a little bit more.
0
SPEAKER_05
There were people that had self-doubt.
0
SPEAKER_05
 And their condition was getting worse and their family was worried about them.
0
SPEAKER_05
They could have doubted and said, I give up.
0
SPEAKER_05
But they showed up for themselves again and they overcame their doubt a little bit more.
0
SPEAKER_05
There were days that they were really feeling sick and their body was really failing and they could have said, I'm too sick to do this meditation.
0
SPEAKER_05
 They did it sometimes two or three times a day because nothing else was working.
0
SPEAKER_05
And they overcame their body.
0
SPEAKER_05
They could have said, I don't have enough time.
0
SPEAKER_05
I got kids, I got obligations, I got a job.
0
SPEAKER_05
They made the time to do it.
0
SPEAKER_05
And that was the overcoming process.
0
SPEAKER_05
You can't tell me that.
0
SPEAKER_05
 You're too out of shape.
0
SPEAKER_05
You can't tell me, you know, you're too old.
0
SPEAKER_05
We have elders in this work.
0
SPEAKER_05
I can show you brain scans that are so elegant and so beautiful.
0
SPEAKER_05
And the arousal that they're having is ecstasy.
0
SPEAKER_05
It's coherence in the brain.
0
SPEAKER_05
So you can't even tell me that you never meditated before because husbands who get dragged to our events by wives who are sitting there going, who is this guy?
0
SPEAKER_05
And they're listening to the science and it makes sense and comes down to the practical.
0
SPEAKER_05
 They're just saying, just, I don't know what, just tell me what to do.
0
SPEAKER_05
They follow the exact formula.
0
SPEAKER_05
Someone who's been meditating for 40 years doing the same thing, that's the one that has to get out of that same habit.
0
SPEAKER_05
Not to say that that's a bad thing, but when it comes time to connecting, right?
0
SPEAKER_06
I fully agree with you.
0
SPEAKER_06
I mean, I talk about this.
0
SPEAKER_06
I've been fortunate enough to meditate consistently for about 16 years now.
0
SPEAKER_06
And I started when I was 18 years old and it's been part of my daily practice.
0
SPEAKER_06
 But I realized probably, probably halfway into that, which was too late.
0
SPEAKER_06
Like as it is, I wish I realized it earlier, but it probably took me eight years to realize I shouldn't have ever been trying to recreate the last meditation.
0
SPEAKER_05
Right?
0
SPEAKER_06
Like you get into that habit with any good habit.
0
SPEAKER_06
You get into the habit of like, I want to meditate like I did yesterday.
0
SPEAKER_06
I want to do this like I did yesterday.
0
SPEAKER_06
I want the workout that I had last week.
0
SPEAKER_06
I want the body that I had last year.
0
SPEAKER_06
 And we do that to ourselves, and that actually traps us from a new, fresh, incredible experience.
0
SPEAKER_05
Turns out that repetition and predictability are impossible in the quantum.
0
SPEAKER_05
If you're truly evolving the experience, the experience should be an extension of the last one, right?
0
SPEAKER_05
So I always just go at it a different way if I could.
0
SPEAKER_05
I always just try to mix it up, right?
0
SPEAKER_05
It's usually better.
0
SPEAKER_10
 When you find that bright spot to help you get through your day, it's powerful.
0
SPEAKER_03
That's where The Bright Side comes in.

SPEAKER_02
 That was great fun!
0
SPEAKER_02
Cowie, what do you say?
0
SPEAKER_07
It was!
0
SPEAKER_07
And that time when we did the science experiments and Billy made raisins dance!
0
SPEAKER_07
That is so cool, Billy!
0
SPEAKER_02
He did!
0
SPEAKER_02
Not to mention when a certain Elliot took up swimming classes with Lisa.
0

0
SPEAKER_09
 Guess what, Mango?
0
SPEAKER_09
What's that, Will?
0
SPEAKER_09
So iHeart is giving us a whole minute to promote our podcast, Part-Time Genius.
0
SPEAKER_08
I know, that's why I spent my whole week composing a haiku for the occasion.
0
SPEAKER_08
It's about my emotional journey in podcasting over the last seven years, and it's called Earthquake House.
0
SPEAKER_09
Mango, I'm going to cut you off right there.
0
SPEAKER_08
Why don't we just tell people about our show instead?
0
SPEAKER_08
Yeah, that's a better idea.
0
SPEAKER_08
So every week on Part-Time Genius, we feed our curiosity by answering the world's most important questions.
0
SPEAKER_08
Things like, when did America start dialing 911?
0
SPEAKER_08
 is William Shatner's best acting work in Esperanto.
0
SPEAKER_08
Also, what happened to Esperanto?
0
SPEAKER_09
Plus, we cover questions like how Chinese is your Chinese food?
0
SPEAKER_09
How do dollar stores stay in business?
0
SPEAKER_09
And of course, is there an Illuminati of cheese?
0
SPEAKER_08
There absolutely is.
0
SPEAKER_08
And we are risking our lives by talking about it.
0
SPEAKER_08
But if you love mind blowing facts, incredible history and really bad jokes, make your brains happy and tune into part time genius.
0
SPEAKER_09
 Listen to Part-Time Genius on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.
1
SPEAKER_02
 around, you know, as soon as you're thinking about your problems, you're thinking about the past, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
How do you think about a problem effectively?
1
SPEAKER_02
Let's talk about that because I feel everyone feels their life is full of problems.
1
SPEAKER_02
How do you process a problem productively, effectively through thoughts?
1
SPEAKER_01
 Yes, great question again.
1
SPEAKER_01
I think we're all faced with great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations.
1
SPEAKER_01
And in order, like for me personally, and after looking through your book and reading a good portion of it, I mean for me there's no school
1
SPEAKER_01
 of ancient wisdom that you need to go to be initiated.
1
SPEAKER_01
Your life is your initiation if you're paying attention.
1
SPEAKER_01
So we meet challenges in our life from a certain level of mind, right?
1
SPEAKER_01
A certain level of consciousness or unconsciousness.
1
SPEAKER_01
And even Einstein said we have to go to a greater level of consciousness
1
SPEAKER_01
 than the consciousness that's created the problem.
1
SPEAKER_01
Well, what is consciousness?
1
SPEAKER_01
Consciousness is awareness.
1
SPEAKER_01
And awareness means the possibilities that you haven't thought of before.
1
SPEAKER_01
So, we confront problems or challenges in our life, and as a side note,
1
SPEAKER_01
 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.
1
SPEAKER_01
They're measuring this.
1
SPEAKER_01
And when a person sees it as a challenge, how they draw energy, they raise the energy of their body back into order.
1
SPEAKER_01
So if we said, I want to be wealthy, or I want to be healthy,
1
SPEAKER_01
 Well, you want to be that because you're not it.
1
SPEAKER_01
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.
1
SPEAKER_01
So you try it out and it doesn't work.
1
SPEAKER_01
 Well, that's because there's a part of you that's still in a habit.
1
SPEAKER_01
There's part of you that's still unconscious.
1
SPEAKER_01
Okay.
1
SPEAKER_01
So what is it about myself and that circumstance that I am feeling about that circumstance?
1
SPEAKER_01
And that feeling is causing me to think about it.
1
SPEAKER_01
So you say, Oh, it's impossible.
1
SPEAKER_01
They'll never change.
1
SPEAKER_01
I'll hire a hit man.
1
SPEAKER_01
I'll hire the mafia.
1
SPEAKER_01
I'll hire an attorney.
1
SPEAKER_01
I'll have my friend's friend to talk to me and nothing changes.
1
SPEAKER_01
Right?
1
SPEAKER_01
Well,
1
SPEAKER_01
 You're not separate from that experience.
1
SPEAKER_01
You're involved in it.
1
SPEAKER_01
And how you think and how you feel broadcasts energy into the field.
1
SPEAKER_01
So your energy is the same every day.
1
SPEAKER_01
And as long as your energy is the same, nothing's going to change in your life either.
1
SPEAKER_01
And nobody changes until they change their energy.
1
SPEAKER_01
 What piece of knowledge, what piece of information, what would love do, what would greatness look like?
1
SPEAKER_01
Okay, I don't know.
1
SPEAKER_01
All right, well certainly somebody in history has faced this problem.
1
SPEAKER_01
Don't get on Facebook and say, does anybody have any answers?
1
SPEAKER_01
Don't get, go look it up and study and read and learn, you'll own it.
1
SPEAKER_01
And you'll say, wow, that person that was wealthy,
1
SPEAKER_01
 I failed 500 times.
1
SPEAKER_01
Well, hell, I had the wrong view of wealth.
1
SPEAKER_01
Okay, then failure's not a thing.
1
SPEAKER_01
I gotta overcome failure.
1
SPEAKER_01
Well, yep, just climbed a step.
1
SPEAKER_01
Okay, I'm reacting to that circumstance with the same emotion.
1
SPEAKER_01
That emotion is firing the same thoughts.
1
SPEAKER_01
I'm broadcasting the same energy into the field.
1
SPEAKER_01
If I were facing that circumstance and situation again with that person, that circumstance, what do I learn from that circumstance?
1
SPEAKER_01
How could I do it differently the next time?
1
SPEAKER_01
 Find out a solution and rehearse it.
1
SPEAKER_01
Install the circuitry so when you get in the circumstance, you're not gonna respond in an automatic habituation.
1
SPEAKER_01
Now you're at a greater level of consciousness.
1
SPEAKER_01
Now you're looking at possibilities that you weren't looking at before because you were unconscious.
1
SPEAKER_01
Now, that process of trial and error is so important in the spiritual path.
1
SPEAKER_01
How many times
1
SPEAKER_01
 do we have to forget before we remember?
1
SPEAKER_01
And then we remember and we forget again.
1
SPEAKER_01
And it takes constantly remembering until we stop forgetting.
1
SPEAKER_01
And when we get to that point, now we're conscious.
1
SPEAKER_01
Now there's wisdom.
1
SPEAKER_01
And wisdom is the memory of the experience without the emotional charge.
1
SPEAKER_01
Now you're ready for the new adventure.
1
SPEAKER_01
So then people draw conclusions and say, oh, it's that person that ripped me off, it's that person that,
1
SPEAKER_01
 What, now you don't create your reality?
1
SPEAKER_01
You only create your reality when things are good?
1
SPEAKER_01
Well, somehow you gotta tango through this.
1
SPEAKER_01
Somehow your objectivity in not reacting emotionally is going to change the energy of how you address this situation.
1
SPEAKER_01
So then we keep going, and introspection, at the end of the day, if you really wanted to be wealthy, say,
1
SPEAKER_01
 How did I do today?
1
SPEAKER_01
Did I make the right choices?
1
SPEAKER_01
Was I ethical?
1
SPEAKER_01
Was I purpose-driven?
1
SPEAKER_01
Am I interested in making a difference?
1
SPEAKER_01
Was I fair?
1
SPEAKER_01
Was I tempered?
1
SPEAKER_01
Did I really think before I spoke?
1
SPEAKER_01
What did I remember reading about that book, about that person that did it?
1
SPEAKER_01
How'd I do?
1
SPEAKER_01
When did I fall from grace?
1
SPEAKER_01
When did I lose it?
1
SPEAKER_01
Okay, I want that opportunity again.
1
SPEAKER_01
 I want another shot at that.
1
SPEAKER_01
And I'm going in this way.
1
SPEAKER_01
What would love do in this situation?
1
SPEAKER_01
What would greatness do?
1
SPEAKER_01
And now you evolve your experience and somehow there's a door, there's an opening, something shifts, something's changing.
1
SPEAKER_01
And now here we go, we climb another ladder.
1
SPEAKER_01
And then all of a sudden there's another challenge.
1
SPEAKER_01
And then people who finally arrive at their abundance, they could care less if they're abundant.
1
SPEAKER_01
They're already knowing that they've earned the right for it.
1
SPEAKER_01
So there's sometimes a shortcut in the process.
1
SPEAKER_01
 if we really learn and we really get it.
1
SPEAKER_01
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.
1
SPEAKER_01
Like, hey, people come to our work all the time for a lot of reasons.
1
SPEAKER_01
And one of the common reasons is they want to get healthy.
1
SPEAKER_01
And because they're dealing with a very serious health condition.
1
SPEAKER_01
And I always say the same thing to them.
1
SPEAKER_01
 Stop wanting to be healthy.
1
SPEAKER_01
Learn the formula on how to get healthy.
1
SPEAKER_01
Learn the formula on how to heal, and the healing will be the side effect of it.
1
SPEAKER_01
If you're obsessing about why am I not healed, you're still the old person.
1
SPEAKER_01
You could become that person every day, right?
1
SPEAKER_01
Turns out that when you sit down and the people that we interview that have had significant changes,
1
SPEAKER_01
 when it's no longer about their health, but they are out of the bleachers and they're on the playing field, and they are coming up against the belief.
1
SPEAKER_01
Like one lady said, God, I always thought that this work really worked, that these concepts are the truth, but I never believed it worked for me.
1
SPEAKER_01
And I was in a car accident, I'm in a wheelchair.
1
SPEAKER_01
And then she made the decision that she was gonna overcome that belief.
1
SPEAKER_01
Now, it was no longer about her healing.
1
SPEAKER_01
 It was about overcoming the belief.
1
SPEAKER_01
But she overcame the belief and showed up every day for herself.
1
SPEAKER_01
When you believe in yourself, you believe in possibilities.
1
SPEAKER_01
When you believe in possibilities, you gotta believe in yourself.
1
SPEAKER_01
You don't show up for yourself.
1
SPEAKER_01
 You don't believe in it.
1
SPEAKER_01
And that's why people don't do the work.
1
SPEAKER_01
I mean, if you believe that your thoughts created reality, you would show up every day and create.
1
SPEAKER_01
And so a lot of people believe in their past more than they believe in their future.
1
SPEAKER_01
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.
1
SPEAKER_01
It's that simple.
1
SPEAKER_01
 The initiation process of life is always going to be there.
1
SPEAKER_01
You're always going to be challenged.
1
SPEAKER_01
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.
1
SPEAKER_01
And if you think that you're a failure, then you'll quit.
1
SPEAKER_01
But if you feel like you just didn't quite ding it yet and you show up again,
1
SPEAKER_01
 to just ding it and you keep evolving your experience and go deeper.
1
SPEAKER_01
How much more can I open my heart?
1
SPEAKER_01
How much more can I surrender into this infinite field?
1
SPEAKER_01
How much more can I become?
1
SPEAKER_01
Can I walk as it with my eyes open?
1
SPEAKER_01
People do meditations and they have great meditations, me included.
1
SPEAKER_01
And then you get up, you open your eyes and you're back in the program.
1
SPEAKER_01
And people want to know why they haven't healed and we have testimonies of people
1
SPEAKER_01
 They're speaking the truth.
1
SPEAKER_01
They said, my MS, my rheumatoid and my lupus never went away.
1
SPEAKER_01
I had great meditations.
1
SPEAKER_01
I felt better.
1
SPEAKER_01
And then I realized with my eyes open, I was still that person.
1
SPEAKER_01
And now.
1
SPEAKER_01
 next level.
1
SPEAKER_01
They're in the game.
1
SPEAKER_01
They're catching themselves.
1
SPEAKER_01
They're catching how they speak.
1
SPEAKER_01
They're watching how they think.
1
SPEAKER_01
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.
1
SPEAKER_01
Now, this is the great part.
1
SPEAKER_01
And when a person finally breaks through from the chains,
1
SPEAKER_01
 and there's a different consciousness, a freedom that happens, they look back at their past.
1
SPEAKER_01
They want to change one thing in their past because it brought them to that present moment.
1
SPEAKER_01
That's the past, no longer existing.
1
SPEAKER_01
That's the freedom.
1
SPEAKER_01
So is it worth the effort?
1
SPEAKER_01
Yeah, it's no longer about healing.
1
SPEAKER_01
It's no longer about abundance.
1
SPEAKER_01
It's about who you're becoming, right?
1
SPEAKER_01
That's what it's about, right?
1
SPEAKER_02
I love that emphasis on trial and error.
1
SPEAKER_02
 Please again just like when we're talking about through some of your earlier answers around becoming comfortable in the unknown.
1
SPEAKER_02
 it's that same alignment again, of like, what we're trying to avoid is the trial and error.
1
SPEAKER_02
What people come to you for is, I want a definitive answer.
1
SPEAKER_02
I want the conclusion.
1
SPEAKER_02
I want the path.
1
SPEAKER_01
I want the decision, the one thing that's gonna... I would never tell anybody what to do.
1
SPEAKER_01
I believe in free will.
1
SPEAKER_01
I would never tell anybody what to believe, like politically or socially or whatever.
1
SPEAKER_01
 I want to provide them the tools and give them the free will to create life however they want and believe whatever they want.
1
SPEAKER_01
That's totally cool with me.
1
SPEAKER_01
So those people then that want to be healed and they live in fear.
1
SPEAKER_01
 That fear has to be addressed.
1
SPEAKER_01
I mean, and it's not easy because it's hardwired deep in the limbic brain.
1
SPEAKER_01
It's just a safety net.
1
SPEAKER_01
It's a mechanism.
1
SPEAKER_01
So then imagine being in the unknown.
1
SPEAKER_01
 that the instinct and the unknown is it's a scary place.
1
SPEAKER_01
Wow, imagine not having a body.
1
SPEAKER_01
And we practice lingering without a body 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 practice that.
1
SPEAKER_01
 You're going to be comfortable in the unknown.
1
SPEAKER_01
You're going to relax more into it.
1
SPEAKER_01
That's going against thousands of years of programming and the people who actually overcome their fear.
1
SPEAKER_01
 And they trade it for gratitude.
1
SPEAKER_01
Their immune system gets stronger, their genes upregulate.
1
SPEAKER_01
I mean, there's just a host of, everything changed.
1
SPEAKER_01
Their brain changes, their heart rate variability.
1
SPEAKER_01
They feel differently and it's being measured.
1
SPEAKER_01
And some of these people, we're measuring this now in our events with reputable scientists and universities.
1
SPEAKER_01
They're shocked.
1
SPEAKER_01
 at what they're witnessing on a cellular level, on a brain level, on a heart level.
1
SPEAKER_01
They cannot believe the capacity of the body.
1
SPEAKER_01
I just got an email today of one of our scientists said, I ran this three times.
1
SPEAKER_01
 The virus that we expose the cell to in advanced meditators does not enter the cell.
1
SPEAKER_01
It's outside the cell.
1
SPEAKER_01
A virus in novice meditators, some of it's in the cell, some of it's outside, controls all the viruses in the cell.
1
SPEAKER_01
There's an immunity.
1
SPEAKER_01
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.
1
SPEAKER_01
 Large scale, small scale, the body has a greater immunity to whatever it is.
1
SPEAKER_01
And that's the truth.
1
SPEAKER_01
We're measuring that.
1
SPEAKER_01
So you never know the outcome when a person really catches that thought that leads to the same choice, that leads to the same behavior, that creates the same experience, that produces the same emotion, that discomfort, that unpredictability, that uncertainty.
1
SPEAKER_01
 That's the side effect of leaving the known.
1
SPEAKER_01
That's what change is about, and learning how to be comfortable in it.
1
SPEAKER_01
Instead of just white-knuckling it, go, oh, I have some tools to self-regulate.
1
SPEAKER_01
I'm in fear.
1
SPEAKER_01
Oh, excuse me.
1
SPEAKER_01
And you excuse yourself, and you change that, and then you're there.
1
SPEAKER_01
And then here comes the fear again.
1
SPEAKER_01
Excuse me.
1
SPEAKER_01
And I always say, if not now,
1
SPEAKER_01
 When?
1
SPEAKER_01
Now is the new later, like don't wait.
1
SPEAKER_01
And so the person who's no longer about healing their disease, it's about overcoming their fear.
1
SPEAKER_01
Their attention is off their disease and their identity is changing because we're not identifying with anyone.
1
SPEAKER_01
Now they're looking at something right in the face.
1
SPEAKER_01
And now once they're engaged,
1
SPEAKER_01
 They're showing up every day, just like a workout.
1
SPEAKER_01
There's pain involved, but you move through it a little bit more and the volume is lowered and their response to people and circumstances are different.
1
SPEAKER_01
And then they know they're changing because people say to them, I just saw this just yesterday, people say to them,
1
SPEAKER_01
 Something about you is different.
1
SPEAKER_01
What is it?
1
SPEAKER_01
Do you get a little work done?
1
SPEAKER_01
Are you on a new medication?
1
SPEAKER_01
Because their memory of them is different, they're out of phase.
1
SPEAKER_01
We don't see things how they are, we see things how we are.
1
SPEAKER_01
So we fill in reality based on memory and all of a sudden the person's out of phase.
1
SPEAKER_01
 They're not remembering them that way.
1
SPEAKER_01
They're in the unknown, and it's obvious.
1
SPEAKER_01
And then all of a sudden, people get raises, and they get all these great things going on.
1
SPEAKER_01
Why?
1
SPEAKER_01
Because they're leading by example.
1
SPEAKER_01
It's not what they're saying, it's who they are.
1
SPEAKER_01
And they're less responsive, and they have more patience, and they're practicing being in their heart.
1
SPEAKER_01
 And when they're in their heart, they're more patient, they're more kind, they're more loving, they're more giving.
1
SPEAKER_01
And you can't create a future without putting your heart into it.
1
SPEAKER_01
And if your heart, if you're throwing your heart into your future, it better be activated and coherent.
1
SPEAKER_01
And so we measure that stuff because it becomes a science and that is the language of mysticism now.
1
SPEAKER_02
Why is our memory for
1
SPEAKER_02
 pain stronger than our memory of a success or a joy because it sounds like what you said one thing that really hit me and I love that was the idea of remembering forgetting remembering forgetting and so often we have a positive powerful experience.
1
SPEAKER_02
 but sometimes we'll just discount it as irrelevant.
1
SPEAKER_02
And then you have a negative experience and we hold on to it.
1
SPEAKER_02
And I find that in all of this, memory is exactly it, that you said that wisdom is, when you've kind of gone down that process so far down the line where now your memory's stronger than forgetting, we forget the powerful experiences.
1
SPEAKER_02
We forget the moments where we relieve things.
1
SPEAKER_02
So what is that and what do you do about it?
1
SPEAKER_01
 Well, I'll answer it on two levels, Jay.
1
SPEAKER_01
Thanks for the question.
1
SPEAKER_01
I really think that when the survival gene is activated, preservation is the key.
1
SPEAKER_01
So we can have 10 things that happen really great in our lives.
1
SPEAKER_01
You have a family member or somebody you know that does this.
1
SPEAKER_01
You have 10 really great things happen and then one thing bad, and they focus on that bad thing.
1
SPEAKER_01
Why?
1
SPEAKER_01
Because the survival gene is activated.
1
SPEAKER_01
They want to make sure it doesn't happen again.
1
SPEAKER_01
So you put your attention on it because
1
SPEAKER_01
 You don't want it to happen again.
1
SPEAKER_01
So what people do when they're aroused is they start thinking it's gonna happen.
1
SPEAKER_01
So they actually select the worst case scenario in their mind and then emotionally embrace that future before it happens.
1
SPEAKER_01
And they're conditioning their body to become the mind of anxiety and fear.
1
SPEAKER_01
So in preservation and in survival, if you prepare for the worst, anything less that happens, you have a better chance of surviving.
1
SPEAKER_01
So that's the mechanism that takes place.
1
SPEAKER_01
 Survival means you better take care of your body.
1
SPEAKER_01
You better be aware of your environment and make sure there's no threats, and so you gotta keep your eye out there.
1
SPEAKER_01
And you better be thinking about the future based on what you learned in the past.
1
SPEAKER_01
Now, there's nothing wrong with that when the analytical facilities are in balance.
1
SPEAKER_01
But when there's an arousal, arousals, there's three things that create arousal.
1
SPEAKER_01
Fear, hostility and anger or aggression, and pain.
1
SPEAKER_01
 And that arousal drives the brain into these high states of what we call high beta.
1
SPEAKER_01
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.
1
SPEAKER_01
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?
1
SPEAKER_01
So it turns out that when we teach people how to self-regulate and change their brain waves,
1
SPEAKER_01
 We could actually see then that the incoherence, that disorderliness that's taking place in the brain, you know when you're over aroused, 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.
1
SPEAKER_01
 And each one of those elements has a neurological network in the brain.
1
SPEAKER_01
So the arousal causes these different circuits to fire out of order and the brain is incoherent.
1
SPEAKER_01
So take two waves that are out of phase and mix them.
1
SPEAKER_01
When they interfere, they flatten out.
1
SPEAKER_01
There's no energy.
1
SPEAKER_01
So energy leaves the brain, right?
1
SPEAKER_01
 So then when you're in arousal, you narrow your focus on the cause.
1
SPEAKER_01
If there's 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.
1
SPEAKER_01
I mean, that's a survival moment, but what if it's your coworker?
1
SPEAKER_01
 sitting right next to you or six feet away and you're judging them, you're the same arousals taking place and what's once very adaptive becomes very maladaptive.
1
SPEAKER_01
And this is where it gets challenging.
1
SPEAKER_01
So when we teach people how to open their focus, we've done thousands and thousands of brain scans.
1
SPEAKER_01
 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.
1
SPEAKER_01
Their brainwaves start to slow down into alpha.
1
SPEAKER_01
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.
1
SPEAKER_01
Different communities form bigger communities.
1
SPEAKER_01
The brain starts to synchronize.
1
SPEAKER_01
 Then all of a sudden you start seeing different compartments of the brain all in resonance.
1
SPEAKER_01
So now when they're all in resonance and they start interfering, when those waves come together, there's more energy in the brain.
1
SPEAKER_01
So when a person dials down the mechanism, this neocortex that plugs us into three-dimensional reality, that keeps us aware of our body, that's the autobiographical self where everything's stitched in memory in there.
1
SPEAKER_01
When we start deactivating the mechanism here and we get beyond the memory bank of the known self and brainwaves move into theta,
1
SPEAKER_01
 We've studied this so much.
1
SPEAKER_01
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.
1
SPEAKER_01
The body is sleeping, but the mind is awake.
1
SPEAKER_01
And now the door between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind is wide open.
1
SPEAKER_01
And if they can regulate and stay there, something amazing happens.
1
SPEAKER_01
 There is a release of energy from the body and their brain goes into a very, very super coherent state of gamma.
1
SPEAKER_01
Gamma is super consciousness.
1
SPEAKER_01
Now I'm not talking about a little gamma.
1
SPEAKER_01
I'm not talking about a lot of gamma.
1
SPEAKER_01
I'm not talking about a really lot of gamma.
1
SPEAKER_01
I'm talking about a supernatural amount of gamma.
1
SPEAKER_01
There's so much order.
1
SPEAKER_01
 and so much energy in the brain.
1
SPEAKER_01
Like if we were in an audience and we were all clapping like this.
1
SPEAKER_01
That could be alpha, right?
1
SPEAKER_01
Theta would be.
1
SPEAKER_01
And if everybody could do this, it's slower.
1
SPEAKER_01
We could do it.
1
SPEAKER_01
The more we can get our timing down, the more we can get coherent.
1
SPEAKER_01
But if we were doing.
1
SPEAKER_01
 this, it would be really hard for all of us to do that at the same time.
1
SPEAKER_01
It takes a lot of order, a lot of awareness, a lot of energy to be able to create that kind of order.
1
SPEAKER_01
So that's how fast the brain is.
1
SPEAKER_01
And that arousal that's taking place is ecstasy.
1
SPEAKER_01
That arousal is bliss.
1
SPEAKER_01
It is the most familiar, unfamiliar feeling that people ever have.
1
SPEAKER_01
And that memory then,
1
SPEAKER_01
 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.
1
SPEAKER_01
This is a new one and it's a thrill.
1
SPEAKER_01
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.
1
SPEAKER_01
 That's the moment then the body many times rewrites the biological program energy.
1
SPEAKER_01
 is informing matter, and the autonomic nervous system is regulating.
1
SPEAKER_01
It's in high order.
1
SPEAKER_01
And remember, disease is autonomic dysregulation.
1
SPEAKER_01
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.
1
SPEAKER_01
 And there it's not.
1
SPEAKER_01
Listen, I've seen it too many times.
1
SPEAKER_01
The person said, we had a guy in Cancun in our last event that was a veteran that came in a wheelchair.
1
SPEAKER_01
He had both his knees blown out.
1
SPEAKER_01
He had broken his back.
1
SPEAKER_01
He was in extreme pain on the bottom of his feet.
1
SPEAKER_01
He couldn't walk.
1
SPEAKER_01
He was suicidal.
1
SPEAKER_01
He had post-traumatic stress disorder, tried everything.
1
SPEAKER_01
First walking meditation, he's out there lumbering around on two crutches.
1
SPEAKER_01
 Next day, he's on one crutch.
1
SPEAKER_01
In the evening of the final meditation, I swear, he is running down the beach.
1
SPEAKER_01
 without his crutches and the volunteers that usually help people with handicaps are chasing him and he's running the other way.
1
SPEAKER_01
He hit gold.
1
SPEAKER_01
There's no pain in his feet, no limitation in his body.
1
SPEAKER_01
He got an upgrade.
1
SPEAKER_01
Now that arousal, that experience, he'll never forget.
1
SPEAKER_01
That's a new one.
1
SPEAKER_01
 I think that a lot of people, you know, we get, you know, we get conditioned, like, oh, wow, success.
1
SPEAKER_01
But, you know, sooner or later, you're going to be like, when the novelty wears off.
1
SPEAKER_01
But here's the cool part.
1
SPEAKER_01
The cool part is like, when you hit pay dirt like that, when you connect, when you connect to the field, when you connect 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.
1
SPEAKER_01
 you realize that it never came from anything out there.
1
SPEAKER_01
It didn't come from the wardrobe or the facelift, the sports car, whatever.
1
SPEAKER_01
It came from within you.
1
SPEAKER_01
And so you stop looking out there for it.
1
SPEAKER_01
And now the love affair begins and you never want to miss a date because it's just too good.
1
SPEAKER_01
So that memory then, that is what I'm after.
1
SPEAKER_01
Because when you have those transcendental moments and you understand this,
1
SPEAKER_01
 The experience of that transcendental moment lays down new circuitry in the brain.
1
SPEAKER_01
That's what experience does.
1
SPEAKER_01
And the experience produces a feeling, but it's not chemical.
1
SPEAKER_01
It's electric, and it's orderly, and every cell of your body is jiggling in order.
1
SPEAKER_01
And you're aroused, and you're awakened, right?
1
SPEAKER_01
 You have to admit, when that occurs, your spectrum of reality is going to broaden.
1
SPEAKER_01
Some conditioning, some illusion, some belief about a white guy with a beard keeping track of if you did something right or wrong, or you failed, or you let God down.
1
SPEAKER_01
That's not how it is.
1
SPEAKER_01
Something is removed.
1
SPEAKER_01
 And you start seeing reality as it is, and all of a sudden, you start seeing the part that we edit out for survival.
1
SPEAKER_01
Now you start seeing patterns and lights and information.
1
SPEAKER_01
 that are transcendent of three-dimensional reality in your spectrum.
1
SPEAKER_01
Why?
1
SPEAKER_01
Because your brain had the experience and the circuitry's there, and now your experience of the world changes.
1
SPEAKER_01
You get an upgrade to the VR set, to the virtual reality set.
1
SPEAKER_01
Oh, you got the upgrade, you got 2.0, and now it looks different.
1
SPEAKER_01
Everything looks different.
1
SPEAKER_01
Everybody looks different.
1
SPEAKER_01
 The world, you're seeing beauty more.
1
SPEAKER_01
Well, and there's more wholism and more connection and sounds and words and music and sense and sight and light is all working together.
1
SPEAKER_01
I mean, that's the blessing of an awakening, right?
1
SPEAKER_01
That's where we're going.
1
SPEAKER_02
 what are the things that disturb or disconnect our awakening in connection to the divine?
1
SPEAKER_02
What are those, that source or that power, that consciousness that you were speaking about?
1
SPEAKER_02
What are the things that then disturb or disconnect us from that once we become connected?
1
SPEAKER_02
Because I'm sure many people feel connected, they get it, they get a breakthrough.
1
SPEAKER_02
But then, you know, we kind of fall back down.
1
SPEAKER_01
Well, this is a great question also.
1
SPEAKER_01
 I mean, wow, I think 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.
1
SPEAKER_01
 You can't do it the same way because that's redundancy.
1
SPEAKER_01
But also many times we have the experience and we start to try.
1
SPEAKER_01
And because trying is matter trying to change matter.
1
SPEAKER_01
And so we're forcing, we're controlling, we're predicting.
1
SPEAKER_01
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?
1
SPEAKER_01
 I've done that long enough.
1
SPEAKER_01
And it's actually have to lay down the very thing we used our whole life to get what we want for something greater to occur.
1
SPEAKER_01
And it takes practice of surrender, right?
1
SPEAKER_01
So that's one element.
1
SPEAKER_01
I also think that our responses emotionally, like let's just say that a person gets connected to the future, like connected to the energy of their future.
1
SPEAKER_01
They feel it.
1
SPEAKER_01
It's really great.
1
SPEAKER_01
 and then they start their day and then two hours later they're feeling something else because some person or some circumstance altered their state.
1
SPEAKER_01
Well, they just disconnected from the energy of the future and now they're back to the energy of the past.
1
SPEAKER_01
Don't expect anything to change in your life because it doesn't work that way.
1
SPEAKER_01
So then when they get back to that old self again, then they say, what's wrong with me?
1
SPEAKER_01
I failed, they didn't do it right.
1
SPEAKER_01
No, that's all the program.
1
SPEAKER_01
You show up again and you go after it again.
1
SPEAKER_01
 So, familiar feelings cause us...
1
SPEAKER_01
 to no longer see through the lens of the future.
1
SPEAKER_01
We're seeing through the lens of the past.
1
SPEAKER_01
And we color reality that way.
1
SPEAKER_01
So I think familiar emotions get in the way as well.
1
SPEAKER_01
And then, of course, there's always belief.
1
SPEAKER_01
And a belief is just a thought you keep thinking over and over again until you hardwire it in your brain.
1
SPEAKER_01
And all beliefs are based on past experience.
1
SPEAKER_01
So a person has an experience.
1
SPEAKER_01
The stronger the emotion they have from that circumstance,
1
SPEAKER_01
 the more they pay attention to the cause and the brain freezes a frame, takes a snapshot, and that's called the memory.
1
SPEAKER_01
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 emotion.
1
SPEAKER_01
Thinking and feeling, thinking and feeling, belief becomes an unconscious or subconscious state of being.
1
SPEAKER_01
Most people don't even know they have beliefs about things, about God, about relationships, about money, because it's not a conscious thing, it's a subconscious thing.
1
SPEAKER_01
So in order to change a belief or a perception,
1
SPEAKER_01
 about yourself and your life, you got to go all in.
1
SPEAKER_01
It's not like you go 50% in.
1
SPEAKER_01
You got to go all in.
1
SPEAKER_01
You got to make a decision with such firm intention that the amplitude of that
2
SPEAKER_03
 that decision carries a level of energy that causes the body to respond to the mind.
2
SPEAKER_03
That the choice that you make becomes a moment in time you'll never forget and you would say, I remember the moment.
2
SPEAKER_03
 and made up my mind to change.
2
SPEAKER_03
And the stronger the emotion you feel, the more you'll pay attention to the decision.
2
SPEAKER_03
And that's a huge stone you drop in the quantum field, big splash, big waves.
2
SPEAKER_03
And in essence, we're giving the body a taste emotionally of the future.
2
SPEAKER_03
We're aligning to a new future.
2
SPEAKER_03
Now, how many times do you have to do that?
2
SPEAKER_03
 I don't know, I've done it over and over again, until it becomes uncompromising.
2
SPEAKER_03
And people say, I remember when I made up my mind to change.
2
SPEAKER_03
I remember I made up my mind to heal.
2
SPEAKER_03
I remember the moment I can tell you where I was, who I was with, what time of day it was.
2
SPEAKER_03
It wasn't like 9-11, something outer world changing your inner world.
2
SPEAKER_03
Your inner world is changing your inner world, which is ultimately gonna change your outer world.
2
SPEAKER_03
 I mean, people say, well, I believe God lives within me, divine lives within me.
2
SPEAKER_03
Okay, you sit them down to do a meditation, 10 minutes goes by and they're hungry and they quit.
2
SPEAKER_03
If you knew the divine lived within you, you wouldn't quit, you would not, you would be like, I'm here, and you're gonna go a little deeper, a little further, you're gonna get past your hunger, you're gonna get past your pain, you're gonna go a little further, because you want to know, right?
2
SPEAKER_03
If you knew it was there, so that's a belief that you're not aware of, right?
2
SPEAKER_03
So we all have them, I face them every day.
2
SPEAKER_03
 People have beliefs that the divine has an opinion about them.
2
SPEAKER_03
It's impossible to judge.
2
SPEAKER_03
It would divide itself.
2
SPEAKER_03
It can't do that.
2
SPEAKER_03
So as we start having these experiences,
2
SPEAKER_03
 I think then our paradigm shifts many times, at least for me.
2
SPEAKER_03
I mean, I can't tell you how many times I've had a transcendental moment, come back to Joe Dispenza and looked out in this world and I said, I got this all wrong.
2
SPEAKER_03
This is not about abstaining from life.
2
SPEAKER_03
 Who's the opposite?
2
SPEAKER_03
It's about going all in and really engaging and really living and really experiencing and tasting and smelling and eating and loving and have explore here for that.
2
SPEAKER_03
We're here for all of that.
2
SPEAKER_03
So you create the experience and then when it gets predictable or it gets boring,
2
SPEAKER_03
 Let's change it up, let's create another one.
2
SPEAKER_03
And then how far can you go with that?
2
SPEAKER_03
It just goes on.
2
SPEAKER_03
So I think really belief is the other thing that's a blind spot that we have to become conscious.
2
SPEAKER_06
When the Taliban banned music in Afghanistan, millions were plunged into silence.
2
SPEAKER_06
Radios were smashed, cassettes burned.
2
SPEAKER_06
You could be beaten or jailed or killed for breaking the rules.
2
SPEAKER_06
And yet, Afghans did it anyway.
2
SPEAKER_06
 This is the story of how a group of people brought music back to Afghanistan by creating their own version of American Idol.
2
SPEAKER_06
The danger they endured.
2
SPEAKER_05
They said my head should be cut off.
2
SPEAKER_06

 Hey everyone, this is Molly and Matt and we're the hosts of Grownup Stuff How to Adult, a podcast from Ruby Studio and iHeart Podcasts.
2
SPEAKER_02
It's a show dedicated to helping you figure out the trickiest parts of adulting.
2
SPEAKER_01
 like how to start planning for retirement, creating a healthy skincare routine, understanding when and how much to tip someone, and so much more.
2
SPEAKER_02
We're back with season two of the podcast, which means more opportunities to glow up and become a more responsible and better adult, one life lesson at a time.
2
SPEAKER_01
And let me just tell you, this show is just as much for us as it is for you.
2
SPEAKER_01
So let's figure this stuff out together.
2
SPEAKER_01
This season, we're going to talk about whether or not we're financially and emotionally ready for dog ownership.
2
SPEAKER_02
 We're going to figure out the benefits of a high yield savings account.
2
SPEAKER_01
And what exactly are the duties of being a member of the wedding party?
2
SPEAKER_02
All that plus so much more.
2
SPEAKER_01
Let's learn about all of it and then some.
2
SPEAKER_01
Listen to Grown Up Stuff How to Adult on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
2
SPEAKER_05
 Yeah, one of the other blind spots or beliefs that I think where even that sometimes goes the other way, and not what you're saying, I know what you're saying, but one of the ways that we find our audience struggles is deducing the energy of the people around you.
2
SPEAKER_05
 and the energy that you attract into your life and the people that you keep, often, like you said, there are people coming to your seminars that are dragging their partners.
2
SPEAKER_05
And they have to drag their partners there because their partners are not understanding it initially.
2
SPEAKER_05
Where is that?
2
SPEAKER_05
Is there a method for people to start deducing the energy of people they meet and connect with to be aware if they're on the same frequency or on the same path?
2
SPEAKER_03
Well, I don't know if there's a machine that does that.
2
SPEAKER_03
 But once again, like, I think that if we share the same experiences, because we like the same things, we share the same emotions.
2
SPEAKER_03
And if we share the same experiences, we share the same emotions, I can relate to you.
2
SPEAKER_03
So we can exchange ideas and information.
2
SPEAKER_03
And if we share the same energy, energy is information.
2
SPEAKER_03
So many people, as an example,
2
SPEAKER_03
 they use each other to reaffirm their dependency on suffering.
2
SPEAKER_03
So I suffer more than you, then you say I suffer, you suffer more than me.
2
SPEAKER_03
We have this thing, we just complain with each other.
2
SPEAKER_03
Well, that's the same resonance, the same frequency, and there's a match, right?
2
SPEAKER_03
But it goes to the same means if you're,
2
SPEAKER_03
 someone who has an accountability partner that you exchange ideas like this with and it's a different frequency and different energy.
2
SPEAKER_03
So when energy comes together and it's constructive, something comes out of it.
2
SPEAKER_03
You feel it, right?
2
SPEAKER_03
You feel an elevation.
2
SPEAKER_03
If there's dissonance, then your sensing meter is how you feel about that person, many times in your gut or in your heart or wherever, and there's destructive interference and there's no energy involved.
2
SPEAKER_03
 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?
2
SPEAKER_03
And that's the model that we use.
2
SPEAKER_03
So imagine 1,500 people,
2
SPEAKER_03
 in an event where everybody's getting super coherent, and the interference that's going on in the room is creating these high amplitudes.
2
SPEAKER_03
Now, we've measured that in the room, and the energy in the room is off the chart many times.
2
SPEAKER_03
I mean, there's energy for healing in there.
2
SPEAKER_03
There's energy for all kinds of things that can happen.
2
SPEAKER_03
So we brought it to life.
2
SPEAKER_03
 with our awareness.
2
SPEAKER_03
And so the more elevated the emotion, love, gratitude, freedom, bliss, ecstasy, the higher the frequency.
2
SPEAKER_03
But it turns out you can have a collective group of people with a lot of energy and being coherent and it creates entropy.
2
SPEAKER_03
You could have a smaller group of people that are highly coherent and put out a very big signal.
2
SPEAKER_03
So when we see a collective really get coherent,
2
SPEAKER_03
 Wow, the energy in the room opens up doors of possibilities that I would never expect.
2
SPEAKER_03
I mean, I don't know how to explain some of the phenomenological things that happen.
2
SPEAKER_03
But everybody's divine.
2
SPEAKER_03
Everybody's in that state.
2
SPEAKER_03
They're in that elevated state.
2
SPEAKER_03
So I think our truth meter is really whether we feel lifted or we feel like we've been robbed.
2
SPEAKER_05
 yeah yeah and often often our feeling of feeling lifted
2
SPEAKER_05
 is based on everything we've just talked about.
2
SPEAKER_05
It's based on a void, based on an unhealed trauma, based on a gap or a part of ourselves that we haven't yet broken a belief.
2
SPEAKER_05
And so often feeling lifted is not feeling lifted in the way you're saying, it's feeling lifted in the just the external superficial sense.
2
SPEAKER_05
Reaffirming the emotion you need.
2
SPEAKER_05
Just as you said earlier at the beginning that an external event could make you feel sad.
2
SPEAKER_05
 The external event is making you feel good, but it's still external.
2
SPEAKER_03
The opposite.
2
SPEAKER_03
So then that means then, when things are good, you feel good.
2
SPEAKER_03
When things are bad, you feel bad.
2
SPEAKER_03
So there's dramatic contrast in polarity.
2
SPEAKER_03
And this is the realm of polarity, right?
2
SPEAKER_03
So how do you find the middle path?
2
SPEAKER_03
 The heart is the middle path.
2
SPEAKER_03
It's a union of polarity.
2
SPEAKER_03
It's a union of opposites.
2
SPEAKER_03
It's oneness, it's wholeness.
2
SPEAKER_03
And this is where we have to begin to create from all of this down here is all humanity.
2
SPEAKER_03
This is all our animal nature.
2
SPEAKER_03
We get up in here, things change, right?
2
SPEAKER_03
You go from selfish to selfless and something else happens.
2
SPEAKER_03
So it's really funny too, because when,
2
SPEAKER_03
 A lot of people come and they say, I don't know, I'm having difficulty opening my heart.
2
SPEAKER_03
I'm practicing, but I'm not feeling anything yet.
2
SPEAKER_03
And then it comes time to do our healings on other people.
2
SPEAKER_03
And the moment it's no longer about you, all of a sudden something happens.
2
SPEAKER_03
Well, of course, that's what the heart is about, right?
2
SPEAKER_03
So it comes in ways that we least expect at times.
2
SPEAKER_05
 Yeah, I love that you've incorporated that element of people having that experience.
2
SPEAKER_05
And often most people can't open their heart to others because they haven't even opened their heart to themselves, right?
2
SPEAKER_03
Like they haven't been through that process of... Sitting long enough to let the heart... I mean, I always say to people, when was the last time you sat with your heart and just worked with it?
2
SPEAKER_03
Like so that it's not contracted and afraid and protected.
2
SPEAKER_03
 It takes practice to do that.
2
SPEAKER_03
And so we work with people in letting them, we give them numerous opportunities to practice this over and over and over again.
2
SPEAKER_03
And sooner or later, petal by petal, it starts to bloom.
2
SPEAKER_03
And all of a sudden, there's an authentic smile on their face.
2
SPEAKER_03
And once energy meets the heart, it goes right to the brain.
2
SPEAKER_03
We have, we did this study where
2
SPEAKER_03
 We hooked up an electrocardiogram to an electroencephalogram and an electroencephalogram is a brain mapping machine.
2
SPEAKER_03
So we measure 19 or 26 different compartments and we're looking to see all different kinds of activity in the brain.
2
SPEAKER_03
But we measured the heart along with it.
2
SPEAKER_03
And when the heart starts beating coherently in a sense of order, like taking a big sheet, Jay, and going like that, the heart sends a wave right up to the brain.
2
SPEAKER_03
 And the brain goes into these beautiful states of alpha.
2
SPEAKER_03
The heart is telling the brain, it's safe to create again.
2
SPEAKER_03
It's safe to imagine.
2
SPEAKER_03
It's safe to dream of a new future.
2
SPEAKER_03
And there's the stroke volume of the heart in order.
2
SPEAKER_03
And then you see these two or three seconds of beautiful, coherent alpha.
2
SPEAKER_03
The brain is in that creative state.
2
SPEAKER_03
Then there's a pause and it happens again.
2
SPEAKER_03
And it's beauty.
2
SPEAKER_03
It's a symphony.
2
SPEAKER_03
 If you don't have that mechanism, you can have all the intention in the world.
2
SPEAKER_03
But there's no carrier wave.
2
SPEAKER_03
I mean, when people, when they make energy reach their heart, there's an external field that's created.
2
SPEAKER_03
It's magnetic.
2
SPEAKER_03
It's measurable.
2
SPEAKER_03
And that energy is frequency.
2
SPEAKER_03
And if that frequency is coherent, it can carry the intent.
2
SPEAKER_03
 or thought on a coherent brain of that future.
2
SPEAKER_03
The energy of suffering cannot carry the thought of health or wealth.
2
SPEAKER_03
It's not consistent with it.
2
SPEAKER_03
It carries a different set of thoughts.
2
SPEAKER_03
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.
2
SPEAKER_03
And I say to them, listen,
2
SPEAKER_03
 If you can't feel gratitude or if you can't feel love, I just wanna know what you've been practicing feeling every day.
2
SPEAKER_03
Because that feeling that you're practicing is what you're always feeling.
2
SPEAKER_03
Now let's practice feeling something else.
2
SPEAKER_03
In the beginning, it's not gonna be easy, but you gotta keep following the formula, keep doing it, keep doing it, keep doing it.
2
SPEAKER_03
Well, when they start feeling gratitude, it's very interesting because the emotional signature of gratitude
2
SPEAKER_03
 is that something wonderful just happened to you.
2
SPEAKER_03
Something favorable is happening to you, right?
2
SPEAKER_03
So you've just received something or you're receiving something, you say thank you.
2
SPEAKER_03
So gratitude is the ultimate state of receiving emotionally.
2
SPEAKER_03
 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.
2
SPEAKER_03
And you'll program your autonomic nervous system into a different destiny.
2
SPEAKER_03
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.
2
SPEAKER_03
And your body is conditioned in the misery and it's saying, no, you're not.
2
SPEAKER_03
And that thought stops right at the brainstem.
2
SPEAKER_03
It never makes it to the body because the body is on a different program.
2
SPEAKER_03
So then,
2
SPEAKER_03
 Well, when the person starts trading that and they start opening their heart, well, their immune system gets stronger by 50%.
2
SPEAKER_03
50% in three days, they start making immunoglobulins.
2
SPEAKER_03
Their body's natural defense against viruses and bacteria is 50%, not a little bit, a lot.
2
SPEAKER_03
That's one study.
2
SPEAKER_03
And so trading that, telling the body it's in the environment where it already happened,
2
SPEAKER_03
 And so that's when the miracles start happening.
2
SPEAKER_03
That's when people say, I'm not doing anything.
2
SPEAKER_03
Well, of course you're not.
2
SPEAKER_03
You don't have to.
2
SPEAKER_03
So then last point about this, because it's so important that people understand that most people are creating matter to matter.
2
SPEAKER_03
 So the more you live by the hormones of stress, the more altered you are inside of you, the rush of those adrenal chemicals narrows your focus, the senses are heightened, and we become materialists.
2
SPEAKER_03
And now all of our attention is on our bodies, on our environment, and on time, and now we're lost in the VR machine of three-dimensional reality.
2
SPEAKER_03
Everything appears as separate.
2
SPEAKER_03
So I'm here and you're there, and there's space and time between us.
2
SPEAKER_03
 Then there's me here and there's my dreams.
2
SPEAKER_03
I place them way out there in the future.
2
SPEAKER_03
Why do I place them out there?
2
SPEAKER_03
Because I'm estimating how much I have to work to get that house, to get that car, how much I have to save, how much overtime I have to work, what things do I have to do, how do I have to cheat, rob, steal, lie, whatever I have to do to get it, right?
2
SPEAKER_03
That's matter trying to change matter.
2
SPEAKER_03
And so when it doesn't happen, we feel more separation.
2
SPEAKER_03
We try harder, we force, we pray, we control, all that stuff.
2
SPEAKER_03
So then,
2
SPEAKER_03
 Creating from the field instead of from matter means that you have to take all of your attention off your body, all of your attention off all the people in your life, all your attention off all the objects and things, all the places, and even time itself, and become nobody, no one, no thing, nowhere, no time.
2
SPEAKER_03
And if you're not any of those things, what are you?
2
SPEAKER_03
Your consciousness.
2
SPEAKER_03
And now you are liberated from the rules of three-dimensional reality where everything takes time and energy to get what you want.
2
SPEAKER_03
And when we create from the field,
2
SPEAKER_03
 instead of from matter, because it's not matter that's emitting the field.
2
SPEAKER_03
It's actually the field that's creating matter.
2
SPEAKER_03
Change the field, you change matter, right?
2
SPEAKER_03
Now this is not something you take one bite of and you get, it's something you gotta really practice.
2
SPEAKER_03
So then,
2
SPEAKER_03
 By doing this properly with a coherent brain and a coherent heart, you get a Wi-Fi signal.
2
SPEAKER_03
And if you're creating from the field instead of from matter, you no longer have to go anywhere to get what you want.
2
SPEAKER_03
If you were connected to that invisible field of energy called the unified field, the quantum field, which connects everything physical and material, and you're aware of it and you're connected to it, you're connected to source, why would you, if you were source, why would you go get anything?
2
SPEAKER_03
You'd draw it to you.
2
SPEAKER_03
 So the thought, a coherent brain, is the intent.
2
SPEAKER_03
It's the electrical charge.
2
SPEAKER_03
The elevator, the motion, the heart, has a magnetic signature.
2
SPEAKER_03
It's the magnetic charge.
2
SPEAKER_03
The thought is sending the signal out.
2
SPEAKER_03
It's a directive.
2
SPEAKER_03
The feeling is drawing the event back.
2
SPEAKER_03
 Create that combination and now you're gonna collapse space and time and you're gonna draw those synchronicities to you.
2
SPEAKER_03
Now, I'm here in this lifetime.
2
SPEAKER_03
I'm clear that I wanna master that.
2
SPEAKER_03
I wanna get good at that because I did the other stuff.
2
SPEAKER_03
You can get successful the other way, but you're too tired.
2
SPEAKER_03
It takes too much energy.
2
SPEAKER_03
I would rather synchronize my energy to synchronicities
2
SPEAKER_03
 in my life and be mystified by, wow, this stuff really works.
2
SPEAKER_03
And every synchronicity that happens that catches you off guard and brings you joy and awe and wonder, you're gonna use that energy to create the next one.
2
SPEAKER_03
And it gets weird.
2
SPEAKER_03
I've had some crazy synchronicities in the last three days.
2
SPEAKER_03
I'm laughing while I'm driving going, oh my God, this life is so incredibly mysterious.
2
SPEAKER_03
What an amazing ride this is.
2
SPEAKER_03
 That's a different perspective when you're not synchronizing.
2
SPEAKER_03
You ask the person, was it worth it?
2
SPEAKER_03
You showed up every day, was it worth it?
2
SPEAKER_03
Absolutely.
2
SPEAKER_03
So when it starts happening and you start seeing those, you see feedback in your world, you're going to pay attention to what you did and you're going to do it again and you're going to be like, okay, I've done this, I've done this, and I've done this.
2
SPEAKER_03
People who heal themselves.
2
SPEAKER_03
 have very little difficulty healing someone else.
2
SPEAKER_03
It's just the next step.
2
SPEAKER_03
And then with COVID and we couldn't do the healings in our events, we had students just get together and say, if we're in the quantum, okay, and everything's connected, do I really need to be there?
2
SPEAKER_03
I just need a target.
2
SPEAKER_03
Give me the face, give me the coordinate.
2
SPEAKER_03
Love transcends space and time.
2
SPEAKER_03
Okay.
2
SPEAKER_03
 Give me that coordinate, I'll love that person in the life.
2
SPEAKER_03
And these people do it.
2
SPEAKER_03
And we have reputable universities now that are studying this phenomenon.
2
SPEAKER_03
And they're saying, they're telling me, these are universities that have some of the most advanced laboratories.
2
SPEAKER_03
I'm talking the Nobel Prize researchers.
2
SPEAKER_03
 They want to change the conversation in medicine.
2
SPEAKER_03
And today, I got a video of somebody being healed remotely.
2
SPEAKER_03
And she's laying there.
2
SPEAKER_03
Her cancer went from really bad to nothing.
2
SPEAKER_03
And she videotapes herself when the group works on her.
2
SPEAKER_03
She is laying there, and her body
2
SPEAKER_03
 is moving all over that floor.
2
SPEAKER_03
It's twisting and turning.
2
SPEAKER_03
There's energy manipulating that body.
2
SPEAKER_03
They're changing the pattern in the field.
2
SPEAKER_03
The body is the illusion.
2
SPEAKER_03
The tumor is the illusion.
2
SPEAKER_03
That's the hologram.
2
SPEAKER_03
Change the pattern in the field, you change the projection in three-dimensional reality.
2
SPEAKER_03
A person who's healed themselves and been in a circle where they've healed someone else,
2
SPEAKER_03
 And then when you do that, what's next?
2
SPEAKER_03
I don't know.
2
SPEAKER_03
You won't know until you have that experience.
2
SPEAKER_03
I've sat in on the groups where they get together on the Zooms and five people that they've healed tell their story.
2
SPEAKER_03
 You know, a mother whose daughter's unresponsive with an injury or a handicap from birth, who's now looking at her brothers, who's trying to talk, who's smiling, who's present.
2
SPEAKER_03
The mother's telling the story.
2
SPEAKER_03
There's 40 people on the Zoom, we're all crying.
2
SPEAKER_03
Not crying for any other reason, but the species.
2
SPEAKER_03
 The living organism, called the human being, is healing one another.
2
SPEAKER_03
They're informing one another, taking care of one another.
2
SPEAKER_03
Something innate is awakening us.
2
SPEAKER_03
We're crying.
2
SPEAKER_03
The experience of that produces an emotion that's different than any other emotion you could ever feel.
2
SPEAKER_03
That's a new experience.
2
SPEAKER_03
Do you think that that person who goes to heal the next person is going to have a problem opening their heart after that?
2
SPEAKER_03
They know what the payoff is.
2
SPEAKER_03
 And so they don't contract, oh my God, that person has a coma.
2
SPEAKER_03
How many people have come out of comas because of this healing group?
2
SPEAKER_03
They're spot on, they can hit a target and they lay their energy over that field and another one over it and another one over it and all of a sudden you get these complex, coherent patterns and it's creating a change in matter.
2
SPEAKER_03
And they figured it out and we have universities that are, we're collecting all the data and they're crunching all the algorithms.
2
SPEAKER_03
We know that it works really well for anxiety.
2
SPEAKER_03
 It works really well for insomnia, for neurological disorders, Parkinson's disease, inflammation.
2
SPEAKER_03
We're capturing that pain, huge changes in pain.
2
SPEAKER_03
And they're on the other side of the planet.
2
SPEAKER_03
And we're synchronizing, we're measuring heart rate variability and we're sending electrodes and sensors to the people that are being healed and we're seeing if there's a correlation between the coherence of the group that's doing it and the coherence of the person who's having the experience.
2
SPEAKER_03
 We're measuring DNA before the healing and three days of healing we measure the DNA after.
2
SPEAKER_03
Why?
2
SPEAKER_03
Because evidence is as loud as voice.
2
SPEAKER_03
You see that, it's the four minute mile.
2
SPEAKER_03
But you can't go back to being the same person.
2
SPEAKER_03
I scratch my head sometimes when I'm standing on the stage and there's someone speaking to the audience who has had a very serious health condition.
2
SPEAKER_03
 and they don't look like a vegan, and they don't look gluten-free, and they don't look young, and they don't look buffed, and they don't look like they're in shape.
2
SPEAKER_03
They just look like a normal person that has struggled with a health condition.
2
SPEAKER_03
And they're telling the truth.
2
SPEAKER_03
You are witnessing the truth.
2
SPEAKER_03
They are the example of truth.
2
SPEAKER_03
In other words, they have the scans, they have the blood tests, it's gone.
2
SPEAKER_03
And I'm looking out in the audience, Jay,
2
SPEAKER_03
 And everybody is leaning in.
2
SPEAKER_03
Nobody is moving.
2
SPEAKER_03
They are in awe of the four-minute mile right in front of them.
2
SPEAKER_03
Somebody broke through.
2
SPEAKER_03
Somebody pierced that veil.
2
SPEAKER_03
Somebody broke out of that level of consciousness.
2
SPEAKER_03
And that story is filled with truth.
2
SPEAKER_03
Not my words.
2
SPEAKER_03
It's their words.
2
SPEAKER_03
They just showed up every day for themselves.
2
SPEAKER_03
They just kept showing up and believing in it, and they became it, right?
2
SPEAKER_03
You ask that person.
2
SPEAKER_03
 Where's the disease?
2
SPEAKER_03
They'll tell you it's in the old person.
2
SPEAKER_03
I'm not the same, it can't be there.
2
SPEAKER_03
The person in the audience who's relating to that person with the same rare genetic disorder, the same lupus, the same cancer, don't you know that their belief is gonna change right in front of them?
2
SPEAKER_03
And instead of taking two years to do it,
2
SPEAKER_03
 They do it in three months.
2
SPEAKER_03
Why?
2
SPEAKER_03
Because as soon as the four minute mile was broken, the next one that broke was two weeks later, and there's been 1,400 people have done it.
2
SPEAKER_03
I mean, it's not a thing anymore, right?
2
SPEAKER_03
So to me, that's...
2
SPEAKER_03
 We have such compelling evidence in science with brain scans.
2
SPEAKER_03
You can make your brain work better.
2
SPEAKER_03
You can make your heart work better.
2
SPEAKER_03
You can make your immune system work better.
2
SPEAKER_03
You can make your cells go from really sick to really healthy.
2
SPEAKER_03
We've got great evidence.
2
SPEAKER_03
You can become immune to serious viruses.
2
SPEAKER_03
You can be immune to bacteria.
2
SPEAKER_03
We've got the measurements.
2
SPEAKER_03
You can lengthen your life.
2
SPEAKER_03
 We have great evidence, and the people aren't monks, they're not nuns, they're not religious scholars, they're just common people.
2
SPEAKER_03
And then we have testimony of people who are the example of truth.
2
SPEAKER_03
They are the example of truth.
2
SPEAKER_03
I would rather have dinner with those people than anybody else.
2
SPEAKER_03
They know something, right?
2
SPEAKER_03
 So evidence then becomes the loudest voice, right?
2
SPEAKER_03
And that's what I think what people are looking for right now.
2
SPEAKER_03
The truth is so lost in sensationalism, and the truth is so lost in emotional agreement.
2
SPEAKER_03
And so people who want to feel fear, they program themselves and accept, believe, and surrender that.
2
SPEAKER_03
People who want to be hateful,
2
SPEAKER_03
 It's all there, it's all there, and it's a matrix to find the way out, right?
2
SPEAKER_03
And I think there's a door.
2
SPEAKER_03
I just think that we have to trust the innate information that comes from within us.
2
SPEAKER_05
 Absolutely fascinating, and I can't wait to actually experience an event in reality.
2
SPEAKER_03
I'm going to invite you one more time, and then I'm going to send somebody over here in a car to pick you up and take you there.
2
SPEAKER_05
Well, I think last time we wanted to do it, and then the pandemic hit.
2
SPEAKER_05
So, you know, from last time, but no, I would love to.
2
SPEAKER_05
I can't wait to experience that and to experience it personally, not just to watch others, but to actually go through it myself too.
2
SPEAKER_05
 With all of that said, and seeing these breakthroughs, seeing these breakthrough in patterns, you having transcendental experiences, what do you believe in this present state of ignorance, as you said?

What do you believe is the purpose of life overall?
2
SPEAKER_03
To figure out the purpose of life.
2
SPEAKER_03
 No, I mean, I really think it's, I think the mathematics that I've looked at says there's infinite experiences to have.
2
SPEAKER_03
You will never know the end.
2
SPEAKER_03
So then, if you study any religion, I mean, I've looked at a lot of them, this concept of eternity, that the soul is going to be around for eternity.
2
SPEAKER_03
 That's a long time.
2
SPEAKER_03
And that means you gotta be okay with you for a very long time.
2
SPEAKER_03
So I think it's the creation of more experiences.
2
SPEAKER_03
And I think we came from source, from singularity, from oneness.
2
SPEAKER_03
 And we have descended down into density, fooled by our senses into separation.
2
SPEAKER_03
And every single being has a spark of oneness of the divine within them.
2
SPEAKER_03
And we got so separate that we now have our own free will to answer the question, is there more?
2
SPEAKER_03
Because if you're oneness, it gets kind of boring after a while.
2
SPEAKER_03
Like, is there anything else?
2
SPEAKER_03
 The moment you ask if there's anything else, you're no longer oneness.
2
SPEAKER_03
You're something other than oneness, right?
2
SPEAKER_03
And you're a different consciousness, separate from oneness.
2
SPEAKER_03
So I think then we live life, and then when we can predict the feeling of everything that can happen in our life, and it gets boring, and we're not impressed by anyone or anything, we ask the same question.
2
SPEAKER_03
Is there more?
2
SPEAKER_03
And that's when the soul goes, all right, well, it's been how many lifetimes you've been doing this?
2
SPEAKER_03
Okay, there's an awakening.
2
SPEAKER_03
 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 it's how the universe works.
2
SPEAKER_03
And so we climb out of this and I just think there's so many incredible experiences that are left in the unknown that we get to have.
2
SPEAKER_03
And then of course when
2
SPEAKER_03
 When the journey's over and you evolve to that point, then you take that wisdom and you say, here's what I learned.
2
SPEAKER_03
And it was scary down there.
2
SPEAKER_03
And I was like, boy, I gotta tell a great story.
2
SPEAKER_03
And then you hang out there and you go, is there anything else besides all?
2
SPEAKER_03
And then here we go again.
2
SPEAKER_03
It just never ends.
2
SPEAKER_03
I don't know, that's my theory.
2
SPEAKER_05
That's a great answer.
2
SPEAKER_05
I loved it.
2
SPEAKER_05
I resonate deeply with many parts of that answer.
2
SPEAKER_05
I think it's a really beautifully put way of thinking about it and bringing in that, like I said at the beginning,
