Bruce Lipton: Unleashing the Power Within - The Secret of Sticking to Your Life's Desire

Cell biologist Bruce Lipton says 85-95% of our behavior runs on subconscious programs formed before age seven, not conscious choice. Genes are blueprints switched on or off by environment and belief, not destiny. Stress causes over 90% of illness, but positive beliefs can heal through the placebo effect.

95% of your life is coming from observing the other people, and so your behavior isn't yours. How do we change these behaviors? I go, first of all, you don't even know what the behaviors are because you weren't there when they were being programmed. What did you learn when you were in utero? What did you learn during the year from 0 to 1? What did you learn from 1 to 2?
And I'm saying your conscious mind wasn't working at that time, so whatever happened, it's not in your conscious mind.
And so the significance about all this is profound because you don't know your program. 90 85% of your life is coming from the program. Your life is a printout of your programs. You don't have to go backwards in your life. You could just say, where am I today? And here's a simple point. So all of you out there, ready? The things that you like that come into your life, they come in because you have programs to acknowledge them. But the things you want, the things you desire, and you have to work hard—
why are you working so hard?
The answer is whatever that destination you were trying to get to, your subconscious program does not support that destination. And that's why your conscious your mind is working so hard to get there.
So I say you got programs, and you got them before you even knew you were being programmed. We have to identify those programs, because if you want to change your life and you want to make it one that has wishes and desires, then you have to assess what are your programs now so that you can then change those programs and create the life you want.

So today, let's learn from one of the best, Bruce Lipton, and my take on his top 10 rules of success. Enjoy. Rule number 2: Accumulate knowledge.
There's an old phrase that I'm right that is just a stock phrase of the world because it's truism. It says knowledge is power, and everyone goes, oh yeah, knowledge is power, blah blah blah blah, and I go, no, no, Let me say it in a way that might be relevant to us now. I say a lack of knowledge is a lack of power. And I say we have been deprived of knowledge of who we really are, how powerful we are, because all the knowledge we get in growing up is how weak we are, how vulnerable. Oh my God, viruses are coming, parasites are coming, blah blah blah blah blah blah, everything is falling apart. I go 'Well, that's not true.' It is true if you don't recognize your power. And I say, 'Well, what power?' And I go, 'Well, one of the first things that disempowered us was the belief that genes control our life.' 'Oh, why is that disempowering us?' I go, 'Well, simple point. It says that as far as you know, you didn't pick the genes you came with. If you don't like your characteristics, you can't change the genes you came with.' And then I add this little last one, the creepy one that says, 'Well, the genes turn on and off by themselves without you.' I go, then why is this relevant? Well, if the genes are controlling my life and they're turning on and off without me, I am, definition, a victim of my heredity. Oh, there's heart disease running in my family. Oh, I'm gonna get it. Cancer. Oh, I'm gonna get the cancer. It's running in my genes. I go, that's a bunch of BS. Oh, oh, that means belief system.
What—
why is that relevant? And I say, because the idea that genes turn on and off by themselves is the biggest false story that you bought into, which took away your power. Because it says genes control you, you don't control your genes. And that's why you look at your fate as, what genes did my mom and dad give me? Because my future is going to be determined. And I go, completely false. Genes cannot turn on and off. And I go, we've been programmed. Gene turned on, cancer gene turned on, gave me cancer. I go, no, a gene is a blueprint to make a protein. And I go, okay, let's unpack that. I go, the body that you see in the mirror, look on the screen, see yourself, all that. And I go, that is made out of protein building blocks. There are about 100,000 different protein types that come together, assemble them together. And I make a muscle cell out of some proteins, make a brain cell out of some other different proteins. So I, you know, try to tell the audience, I say, well, proteins are like Lego kit, Lego parts. They got 100,000 different pieces, different shaped pieces. And I say, how you assemble the Lego can create a muscle cell, or how you assemble them can create a brain cell, a skin cell. And I go, so the point about it is this: proteins are the building blocks, but proteins break down. "so you have to replace them." But I go, "Oh, they're very complex molecules." And I go, "Where do we get the proteins when they break down?" I go, "We have DNA." I say, "What's that?" "It's a blueprint on how to make a protein." I go, "So what?" I go, "It's a blueprint." I go, "So?" I go, this is the story I always say, I say, "You go into an architect's office and she's working on a blueprint." And I say, "Lean over her shoulder and go, 'Hey, tell me.'" Is your blueprint on or off? And she would look at me and go, what are you crazy? It's a blueprint.
There's no—
there's no on and off.
It's a blueprint.
I go, aha, you're finally going to get it. A gene is a blueprint. It does not turn itself on and off.
It doesn't know what it does.
It doesn't know why it's needed. It has no knowledge other than how to make a protein. And I go, but you gave power to the genes. That's what we did. Oh, the genes control me. And I go, no, it's like the architect story. There's a blueprint. Blueprint doesn't work by itself, but it works with an architect who can read the blueprint and even modify the blueprint. And I go, oh, well, if the genes are the blueprint, then who's the architect? I go, our consciousness is ultimately translated into chemistry that goes into the blood. And that chemistry is what controls our genes.
Rule number 3: Take your power back.
It's time for us to wake up and recognize that there's a program being played out here. We're in a Darwinian program because everyone accepts that as, oh, that's the science, even though Darwinian theory is wrong because evolution isn't on competition. Evolution is cooperation. That's the new insight that changes the game of struggle into harmony when we start to recognize we all have been programmed with a belief that if you're not out there fighting, somebody's going to walk all over you and you lose. So you better go out there and struggle and win and fight and all that. And I go, again, a garden is not a battleground. It's the height of cooperation and harmony. And what we have to do is let go. And the idea is the more you invest in the existing program, the more consciousness you feed that existing program, the more you broadcast the pattern of that existing program. And the only way out is stop. Does that mean I don't read the news? Well, actually, I don't read it. I just read the damn headlines, and that's enough for me to go, okay, I don't, I don't want to be there. I live in a different world. No, I'm in the same world as you. No, but I live in a different world. Why? Well, sometimes we have to recognize maybe it's time to take your power back. Maybe it's time to take your job back and do something that is more in harmony with your life. I mean, I was a tenured professor in a medical school. But when I realized I was teaching incorrect information, that genes control life, which is totally false, I said, no, I can't do this anymore. And the beautiful part about it is, guess what? I'm living this most wonderful life. And I go, how did I do that? I said, I had to let go of the programs that I knew I was engaged in that didn't offer vitality, life, energy, love. If they didn't offer it, then get the hell off of it because it sucks your energy. Energy is life. I talk about what's called an energy checkbook. And I go, what's that? I go, you have a bank account. That's the money in there is your life. I go, yeah, it is. I go, you just don't write checks for nothing. Hey, oh, Lynn, what a beautiful blue sweater you have here. Let me give you $20. That was really nice. You know, you don't do something like that. And I say, we have been giving away our energy so much with no return coming back. I go, what do you mean? I say, well, you get into some like a political argument between people and they get all heated up and they use all 'Energy.' And I said, 'And after the argument, what changed?' 'Nothing.' I said, 'Then what the heck? Energy is life. You just gave away your energy. You're losing life.' And that's when all of a sudden I realized, invest your energy into things that either enhance your vitality or the vitality of the world in which we're living, because those are places to build a better world. To invest your energy in the negative things and all that kind of stuff like that, you're building a bad world with that, and you're using your own energy. Energy, your life gets shortened. And so the reality is consciousness is real. It's a currency. And if you use it and spend it appropriately, you can have a much better life.
Rule number 4: Eliminate negative beliefs.
Negative beliefs are equally powerful in controlling your health as are positive beliefs, except in the opposite direction. A positive belief can heal you from any disease. A negative belief can kill you by creating any disease. A belief can create the disease as much as belief can create the healing. And I go, so significance of this is profound because nobody talks about the negative belief. And I go, negative beliefs are powerful. It's called nocebo, as you mentioned. And as I said, they can cause any disease and they can kill you just because you believe you're going to die. You can die just from the belief, just as much as you are dying of a cancer. You change your belief and you can then heal the cancer. I go, how? I love this because a friend of mine, her name is Anita Moorjani, and she wrote a book called Dying to Be Me. She had 4 years of cancer. In the final days of her life, in the final week, she was so emaciated that the cancer lumps were sticking out. Of her skin because she lost so much body weight, and the cancer lumps were sticking out. She's on a machine for life support. She goes into a coma, and her oncologist, who's been working with cancer patients for years, says, oh, this is the final stage of a person before they die. So get in touch with all the family members and say Anita is dying. She's in a coma. This is a sign that's the end of her life. And she has an out-of-body experience, a consciousness change, that the issues that were related to her life had to do with a lot of the fact that she was so feeling guilty of upsetting her family. She came from an Indian family with prearranged marriages, and she pulled out of a prearranged marriage about 3 days before the wedding, which made her family look like low-class people. It's like you broke a prearranged marriage. That's against the rules and everything. That irritated her father, who she had a lot of love. But then that irritated her father, and then she felt she's now alienated from that love. That's what precipitated the cancer. Her out-of-body experience on the last day of her life, according to her oncologist, she had an out-of-body experience of communicating with her dead father. Who said, no, you know, what happened on that— what happened on Earth stays on Earth. When you transcend, you're not there anymore, and everything's wonderful, and we love you, and all that. She comes out of the coma, and the first thing she says, I want to eat something. You know, she was like, give me some ice cream. And she was like, what? You know, within a day she was off the machines. Within two— within a week to two weeks there was no visible cancer anymore. And in fact, the doctors were saying, it's in there somewhere. And she kept saying, no, there's no more cancer. And they kept looking. And after a couple more weeks of looking, they said, nope, she doesn't have any sign of cancer. She was on her last day of life with cancer, and a belief changed that she realized her father is not angry with her. She didn't alienate the love of her family. And that thought, when she woke up out of the coma, was the placebo, in a sense, of the healing thought that healed her from her last day of life. So people with cancer, and they're all struggling, I go, even to the very last day, the moment you change that consciousness is the moment you can have the cancer go into remission and disappear. Killing the cancer cells is like, "Oh, I'm going to get those evil cells." I said, "The cells were just following the instructions that came from your consciousness. You don't want evil cells, then change the evil thoughts coming from your consciousness, the cancer disappears." So it's a power that we have. It's a power of our creativity, which we don't believe in. And I go, "Okay, quantum physics." is the most valid, truthful science in the sense that the theoretical understanding of quantum physics matches every experiment that has been understood about it. I go, so I go, well, let me tell you the first principle of quantum physics. That principle is consciousness is creating our life experiences. You want to change your life experiences? Don't change the world, change the consciousness. The world will change behind that.

People have heard of the phrase use it or lose it. And frequently they're referring to, oh, well, I can build up my muscles through exercise and I'm using them. But if I stop using my muscles, then they, disappear. And I go, use it or lose it applies to every system in the human body. Every system is based on use it or lose it. And most importantly, the creative aspect of a child is when they were in child development, that's what kids do. They, they create ideas, they play, and through play they are being very creative. But if we are doing what we're doing now, and that is programming them with STEM— science, technology, engineering, math— I say those courses are not creative. Those courses are rote memorization. Can you memorize the equation? Can you memorize this? And I go, if what has happened is our education has taken the creative part out because of finances— oh yeah, years ago when I went to school, we had great courses. We, you know, we had shop for the, you know, for the guys or buddy who want to learn how to fix and make things, you know, home ec. We had music, we had art, These are programs, and most of those have been sacrificed for budgetary reasons to provide more STEM. And I say, then what have you thrown out of the education? I said, the creative part of a child's education has now been transferred to the rote memorization of science, technology, and engineering. And I say, and the result is this: we are not as creative as a population. Not that long ago— well, okay, well, it is long ago because I'm old— but the US was a leader in technology. Because we had the best education system that provided creativity for the kids to, you know, to move into the future. Today, the US is somewhere near the bottom of Western countries in regard to technology. Why? We've lost our creative character. Use it or lose it. We've lost it. And this is a wake-up call. Giving children back the exercises of creativity, because that's what engages those brain cells. And if you don't engage those brain cells, then they don't develop use it or lose it applies.
Rule #6: Practice positive habits.
The most important thing about transcending a program, as I mentioned before, is identifying what the program is. And that's why I wanted to give people an insight to their own programming by just reviewing their life and recognizing things you like come in because you have a program, things you desire that don't come in is because you have a program that doesn't support that. And I say, well, how do you change these programs? And I said, there's 3 fundamental ways to change a program. And it's very critical because the subconscious mind is a habit mind. The conscious mind is a creative mind. And I go, what's the difference? I say, habit by definition doesn't want to change. I mean, if a habit changes, then it's not a habit anymore. So I say, first issue is this, the programs that we were downloaded with are habits. They were put into our mind before age 7. And then we just play them like a push the button, play the program, push the button, play the program. Now, not all habits are bad. As a matter of fact, you wouldn't like it without a subconscious. I'll give you an example. When did you learn how to walk? You learned how to walk before you were 2. You could be 102, you're still walking. I go, why? That habit is there and it doesn't change. So the first thing we have to recognize, habits are not like open, hey, just change me. You actually have to like push a record button to get into that habit. I go, well, how do you get a habit? I said, well, how did we get a habit in our life? I said, for the first 7 years, we were in a state of consciousness called theta, which is hypnosis, and we downloaded it. And the relevance about that is theta is a lower vibration than conscious, which is alpha, and focused consciousness, beta. And I go, so why is it relevant? Because when we are working, like right now, we're in beta, high focus consciousness, schoolroom kind of working like that. But when we go home and relax, the vibration slows down. That's called alpha. So we're in a calmer consciousness. But what people have to recognize is this: the moment you close your eyes, like I'm just going to sleep, consciousness switch went off. I'm not in alpha, I just dropped into theta. I go, Well, consciousness is closed, but theta is hypnosis. So if you put earphones on and you go to bed and you put the earphones on and there's a program playing through those earphones of things that you want to be true in your life, you might hear some of the program while you're still awake, but the moment consciousness disconnects, you're in a zone of theta before you go to the lowest vibration, delta, which is absolute sleep. So every night there's a window of opportunity, put earphones on, soon as your conscious mind goes to sleep, the subconscious mind's gonna take whatever's coming in those earphones and begin to download them because that is hypnosis. So that's self-hypnosis. But that by age 7 changes because by age 7, now we spend more time in consciousness than in theta. And I go, but we still learn things. You learn how to drive a car, you learn how to practice with an instrument, you learn all these things. I say, why is it relevant? And the answer is simply this, How did you create a habit? Practice. You practiced it. So the second way of changing a program is practice a new life if you don't like the one you have. I like it, new agey people, fake it till you make it. And I go, well, yeah, what does that mean? I say, well, I'm a miserable person. I want to be happy. So I said, but you're not happy. I said, yeah, but fake it.
What does that mean?
I say, all day long, anytime you can just consciously pass by, you say, oh, I am happy. I am happy. You could be miserable. I don't really care. The idea is I am happy. I am happy. Repetition practice is how you make habits. And so if you keep saying all day long, I'm happy, I'm happy, and you say it for a period of time because it's habit practice, there's a day you wake up and you already started happy because the program is already in there. You don't even have to do it anymore.
Rule number 7, avoid stress.
Less than 1% of disease is connected to genes. I go, where the hell is all the disease coming from? 90% plus of disease is stress. And all of a sudden it's like, oh. So I said, well, you can relieve all the— take all the cancer cells out. I said, did you get rid of the stress? No. Oh, well then guess what? It's coming back. Because the cells didn't cause the problem, they are a symptom of a problem. And all diseases like cardiovascular disease, 90%, has nothing to do with genes. You're not living in harmony. You're living in fear. A lot of it has to— fear is the greatest cause of stress because fear means I'm powerless. That's what fear means. Oh my God, something's coming. I am a victim. I am powerless. Somebody help me. And then the pharmaceutical company comes and goes, we're here to help you. I go, another line of BS. The pharmaceutical company isn't here to help you. It's a company. It's a corporation. I say, give me the rule, number one rule in law. 'When you make a corporation, what is the number one rule in the corporation's leadership?' And the answer is, 'Your job is to make a profit for the shareholder.' That's number one. If a corporation's not making a profit for the shareholder, then it falls apart, doesn't work anymore. So I said, 'Well, how do you make a profit for the shareholder?' I say, 'Gotta make a lot of money.' I go, 'Well, making a lot of money, does that mean you're gonna help a lot of people?' Ah, we'll tell them we'll help them. We'll sell them the drugs and they'll buy the drugs, and then we're going to make a lot of money. I say, do the drugs really work? I go, how many people are out there because the doctor said your blood pressure is high or your cholesterol level is high and we're going to have to give you statins, statin drugs? I go, how long do I have to take a prescription of statin drugs? And then the doctor goes, how long do you want to live? Oh, you want to live? Then take statin drugs your whole life. I go, I gotta take my whole life? I said, are they gonna help me? Now comes the truth. Statin drugs only help 3 out of 100 people. 97 people out of 100 have no positive effect from statin drugs. In fact, over 20 of those people will have side effects that are disastrous. So I said, wait, I took the statin drugs to help me with my cholesterol level, 3 people are gonna be helped, 20 people are gonna get sicker. I go, well, maybe we shouldn't sell the statin drugs. They go, are you kidding me, man? That's a prescription for life. That means we have a customer for life. And I go, nobody paid attention to the side effects being more dangerous than the healing effect. And I go, people don't care. Because they're told whatever the advertisement told them. Drug companies, they don't give a damn. Why? Because the 97 people that have no positive effect from statins are going to pay them every day of their life to take a statin drug. I say, is it going to help them? I go, nope, but they're going to pay for it every day. And the drug company's like, yay, I could sell lots of statin drugs! You know what they did to sell more drugs? Because there was a cholesterol level and it said, if you're above this cholesterol level, you need a statin drug. I go, then what'd they do? They kept changing the cholesterol level over time. It was, no, no, you have to have less cholesterol. Oh, all of a sudden it said people that, you know, had a certain level of cholesterol below the required part, no, I don't have to take statin drugs. And then they say, no, no, you need a cholesterol down here. Oh, now that many more people are gonna take statin drugs. Every time they lowered the amount of cholesterol to another level, there's a whole new cohort of people that are going to buy the statin drug because, oh, it used to be, oh, that cholesterol level was okay. Now it's not okay. Now you got to take the drug because they kept lowering the level. And every time they lower the level, there's a million new customers for statin drugs. Did it help? Absolutely not. The side effects were far greater —what, 5, 7 times greater side effects than healing.
Rule number 8: Alter your mindset.
The subconscious mind is yours, not shared by anybody else, so it's not a common mind for, for civilization. It's what you downloaded, what you learned, and how you're, you know, playing it in your life. Your conscious mind, though, that's the one that is coming from the field where everyone else is involved. And so consciousness is what connects us all. Subconscious is your life experiences. It's used for this lifetime. And something as the new science revealed to me, which I didn't really know for most of my life, is that we are spiritual entities. I was teaching genes, you know, and now I start to recognize from the physics that we are spiritual entities. and that the body is like a television set. My spirit is the broadcast. When a television— you say television is dead. And I go, yeah, television's dead, but is the broadcast still there? And the answer, of course it's still there. And I said, yes, this is the same thing with the human. We are not in this body. We are receiving a broadcast, a field. In terms of the science of quantum physics, there's a field that's playing through us. And I go, so if your body dies, the field didn't die. It's still there. And it's like, that blew my mind because I said, oh my God, you can't die. You're not even in here. And then the joy about that was you also come back again when another embryo has the same set of what are called self-receptors that are reading that field for you. Each of us has our own set of these self-receptors. These are proteins. No two people have the same set. So each of us is receiving a different energy broadcast. Then let's just turn it back for a second to the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is learned in this lifetime from the experiences we have in this lifetime. But when you pass on and go back to the field, subconscious is gone. And when you come back again, guess what? Fresh subconscious, and you start all over again. So the subconscious is used now for this life. The conscious is always here. It's involved whether you are in this body or not in this body, and that is the perpetual person that you really are.
Rule number 9: Connect with other people.
I want peace on the earth and all the rest are fighting all over the place. That means nothing. But if I get enough people to say we want peace on earth and we get to that number— and as Lyn said, it didn't start with a massive number, started with a small number, but that number grew. Why? Buckminster Fuller's thing, it says build a better world, people will come from that world to visit your world. And what Lyn is showing, we can build a better world, then why is it increasing in number of people? Well, because people are saying, "I want what Lynne has." It always reminds me of the movie— Sally. I want what she's having. Fakes the orgasm in the restaurant, and another woman at a table watching her goes, "I want what she has." Well, this is what Lynne and Brian offer. They have something to say. They have something. I want what she has. Why? Because it's empowering. Why? It changes your consciousness. Your consciousness is creating. If the creation doesn't look good, you don't change the world, you change the consciousness. The world then changes because of your creativity. And that's why, um, Lyn's work to me is so important, to get people to wake up and say miracles happen when you get enough tuning forks together. And how many? Well, apparently 8 tuning forks is good to change it.
And rule number 10, the last one before some very special bonus clips, is adapt.
The universe is not a duality. The universe is a singularity. It's all energy, and quantum physicists refer to this energy as the field. I'm talking about spirit, you're talking about field. Are we describing the very same thing? Invisible. —moving forces that influence one's physical world. Very interesting. We spiritualists have always emphasized the will of God as the creator and the supreme authority of the universe. Interestingly, Albert Einstein wrote that the field is the sole governing agency of matter. You say field, I say spirit. You say tomato, I say tomato. Grotto, we're talking about the very same thing. In today's world, I love the phrase because it is funny but it's true: fake it till you make it. Meaning, you want to be happy? Well, do you have to habituate happy? You have to say every day, no matter if you don't— if you're not happy, I don't really care. You have to tell yourself, I am happy. I am happy. You have to repeat it. Habituation, repetition. Why? I'm consciously repeating it every day and looking at my life. My life really sucks. Oh, Bruce, I am happy. I'm saying that. I go, well, why are you saying it? Because repetition is how the subconscious mind learns. I say, why is this relevant? And here's the fun part. Because after I've repeated it a number of times, the subconscious says, okay, I'm I've learned this. I go, why is it relevant? That 95% of the day, the subconscious function is to make that program real. If my program is I am happy, the function of the mind is to make sure I'm happy. If the program says I'm going to get cancer because I heard that from somebody else, then the function of the mind is to make sure I get cancer because that's the belief I'm working with. And if it says I am a victim and I can't get out of this. Then the function of the mind is, yep, look, you see, you— I'm showing you you're a victim and you can't get out of it because I'm running the show. You're a victim. When we're not really feeling well, is that a physical problem or is it an emotional chemical problem? Well, when it turns out that less than 10% of disease, in fact maybe even closer to 1% of disease, is actually connected to our genetic our physiology, we have to say then where is our illness coming from? And the answer is not from the mechanism, but from the consciousness that is driving that mechanism. And this is the relevance of the new science of epigenetics versus the old belief called genetics. They both sound the same, genetics, epigenetics, but there's a revolution. And what's the difference? The belief in genetics is that when I say, This issue, this illness or whatever it is, is under genetic control is the belief that genes are actually manifesting the problem. Now there's an issue about that. As far as we know, we didn't pick the genes we came with. If we don't like the characteristics we have, can't change the genes. And then we're also told that genes turn on and off by themselves. If you put all that together, you recognize that you're not in charge of your life. Your genes are controlling your life. Well, that's the old belief. Because the new science is called epigenetics. It sounds the same, but that epi is a revolution for this reason. Epi means above. So for example, what do we call skin? Epidermis. I said, what does it mean? The layer above the dermis. Epi, above. So I said, then what does epigenetic control mean? It simply translates as this. Control above the genes. What control is that? Consciousness. Your perception of your world is what controls your genes. And if you're not feeling well, the issue is you don't have to change your biology. You just have to change your perception, and this will then give you your power back. And this is what we have to recognize. We're not victims of biology. We are masters of our biology.
There's a thing called resonance. When something vibrates at the same vibration, they enhance their power. So two instruments are playing at the same vibration, that vibration is more amplified. Okay. But here's the point. Why does a patient come to a doctor? And the answer is because we have been programmed to believe that's our source of healing. They never said what the doctor had to do when you were a kid. Oh, you're sick. We go to the doctor. Nobody told you what a doctor would do. What did you learn? That the doctor provides whatever it is. So we give up power over our life because that doctor's a professional. What the hell do I know? I'm just an average person. So when it comes to a truth, which is my conscious and subconscious mind, when it comes to a truth, I give up power to the doctor. So if the doctor has got a lot of energy, and everything is energy, that's a whole different, I wish we had another hour, I'd talk about that, but the illusion of matter, that's, We look like everything is physical, and quantum physics as a scientist says, no, everything is energy. So I say, when a person who is an energy source goes to a doctor who is an energy source, the healing comes from the doctor having a higher energy, a higher, more powerful energy. So when I walk into the doctor's office, just walking into the doctor's office, all of a sudden I feel a different energy because that's the person. That knows and I don't. And I say, so why is it relevant? I say, if a doctor goes in not having a good day, and chiropractors know this, they can practice for years and then sometimes they go in and the whole day is crappy adjustments and they say, it's not working. Well, I say, what, you forget how to do an adjustment? You've been doing it 30 years. No, they came in with their own mind not being in harmony, whether they had a fight with their spouse or financial issues. And I go, why is it relevant? The person that came in for the healing came in for the extra energy that the healer was going to give them. But if the healer themselves have broken energy because of the stresses and there's all that, when the patient comes in, the doctor has no powers very much. And that's why they realize, geez, my adjustments didn't work and I've been doing it all these years. I go, you didn't forget how to do adjustment, but when you're touching somebody, that's called hands-on healing. And if you're putting in energy that's less than the energy of the patient, yeah, then the energy of the patient comes down instead of going up. And all this means is physician heal thyself, meaning before you go in there and deal with the patient, they came in for your energy. And if your energy is not up to the higher level, then you can't boost their energy. You can only boost it if your energy is higher. And so the physician, the healer, the nurse more important because they're even the ones that more importantly are the more dialogue connected to the patient than a lot of physicians who hardly even notice what's going on. But it's nurses a lot and the aides that are doing a lot of the healing. Why? They have the energy, they spend more entanglement time. Sure. And therefore that's really interesting. So what is healing? I say raising the energy, the vibration. Energy is life. No energy, death. High energy, lot of life. Is the physician, the healer, the nurses, the attendants, are they offering more energy than the patient has? If they do, then you're lifting the health of that patient.
When people gather together and have thoughts like a meditation on healing or peace and love, that when they come together, they can influence the world around them. In fact, even the project called the Global Coherence Project revealed that when people come together and start sharing awareness, it actually changes the electromagnetic field of the Earth. So our thoughts are not passive. They're influencing everything in the world in which we live. So when people come together, consider this, that each person's brain is like a tuning fork sending out thoughts and vibration. And this is revealed in the science of magnetism. Magnetoencephalograph. Most people are familiar with something called the electroencephalograph. You put wires on a person's head and you can read their brain activity. But a new understanding of how to read brain activity, magnetoencephalograph, the probe is out here. This is the most profound insight for this reason. If I can read your brain activity out here, that means your brain activity is not contained in your head, it's broadcast into the field. So each of us, our brains are like tuning forks sending out vibrations to the world. Each individual has a power to their tuning fork, but as more and more individuals come together, it's an additive effect that you have more individuals, more power, and the more individuals, the more power. And so as we come together in a group, our thoughts are really being amplified and sending out a vibration, and these vibrations affect people who are not even listening really, because the power of amplitude of these thoughts will entrain people who are not even paying attention because of this power. So a person just walking through a field will go, feels it, because we're all broadcasting this energy. And this is why coming together in a community and sharing awareness has power. A very simple point. If I go outside with my tuning fork right now and say, let there be peace in the world, I'm not necessarily going to change anything, maybe not even anything right here in the street. But if we get a large number of people to have the same thought, we change the world. And this is why it's so important to understand the collective nature of consciousness, that when we all start to have harmony, we broadcast that harmony, and the world will become in harmony with our thoughts. Right now, today, the world's in a big mess. And the significance of that is who's responsible? And it turns out it's a very small percent of the population that we would call the leaders of our civilization. For me, what would be really important is this: if all individuals would fully express their power, guess what? There's a commonality to all people on this planet. What do they want? Health, happiness, a job, security, food. Well, if we're all sharing those those wishes, guess what? We would all live in harmony, seeking the same very ends. And so for me, it is really important that people empower themselves because our leadership is not really supporting us as much as the mass of population, because collectively we would have a much better outlook on this planet than the one we're experiencing right now. If I have a picture of fear in my mind, I'm afraid of something, my brain translates fear with different chemicals, stress hormones, cortisol, norepinephrine, factors that affect the immune system that are called cytokines or histamine. So basically, in a state of conscious fear, the brain releases chemistry that complements fear. That chemistry goes into the body's blood, and that changes the behavior and the genetics of the person. So that means there's a difference between having positive thoughts and having negative thoughts. And people say, oh, that positive thinking doesn't really work, but that's not true. The best example of positive thinking in a scientific study is called placebo. You have a disease and doctor says, here's this new pill and it's the brand new science and it's gonna cure you. And you believe it and you take the pill and you get well. Then you find out the pill was a sugar pill. So then you're left with, so what made me well? It's not the sugar pill, it was the positive belief in that sugar pill and how it's going to help your life. So that's called placebo— positive thinking, positive result. Unfortunately, most people don't recognize a more important point: negative thinking is equally powerful, but it works in the opposite direction. So it turns out, for example, less than 10% of cancer is even connected to a family lineage. 90% of cancer just comes out of the blue, so to speak. But the reality is, no, it's a result of stress and negative thinking. So it's an important point: positive thinking, negative thinking, equally powerful, because that's the level of consciousness that is translated into the chemistry that controls your genetics. I just want to add a very important point to this. Quantum physics is the most valid science on this planet. There is no science that has been tested more and verified more. I guess, so what's the relevance? Because the primary principle in quantum physics is consciousness is creating our life experiences. And well, when you add epigenetics to that physics, now we understand the mechanism of how consciousness is controlling our biology. So biology and physics are coming together to reveal that we are very powerful creators of our lives.
Patience, for a simple reason. You have to have patience in reprogramming because you're dealing with habits that will automatically replay themselves every time. You're trying to rewrite a habit, so you have to create a new habit. It's not going to happen the first time or the second time, but as you become aware and conscious of it every time a negative behavior shows up and and you are becoming more conscious, you are in the power position of changing that behavior at that moment and then engaging in behaviors that you really want. Therefore, not only does it take patience, but it takes practice. So you and your partner in a relationship have to have the dialogue with each other. When a behavior shows up that one of the individuals is creating and unaware of, of, then the other person must say, look, you perhaps didn't see what you just said or what you just did, automatic subconscious behavior. It wasn't really the best thing. And through a nice dialogue and through practice, what you can end up is, again, leading to an opportunity to engage with each other and as a result, create new programming that supports both with your wishes and desires and aspirations. And this is the next and last step of putting that honeymoon relationship back together. So in conclusion, what can we say about this whole honeymoon effect is this. Number 1, people talk about mind-body interactions and mind controlling life. And while a lot of people say, my mind wouldn't have created this life, you can go back to a point where you you fell in love and recognize a very simple truth. What you created was not an accident. It was an activation of your conscious wishes, desires, and aspirations. You already did create heaven on earth. The issue is what happened to it? And I said, ah, the interference from the subconscious mind. If you understand the programming and how that programming is the default behavior, and you understand how you can rewrite that programming, then you're given an opportunity to eliminate the negative programs in your subconscious that have been sabotaging you and instead replace them with behaviors that correspond with your wishes and desires. And when you do that, so that your conscious mind and your subconscious mind have the same program, then guess what? At that moment, whether you're paying attention whether you're paying attention or whether you're not paying attention, you'll be engaged in the honeymoon experience. It never has to go away. The honeymoon is an experience that you could have your whole life. This is why we were here. We were here to create heaven on earth. The one time you did it is when you fell in love. It could have stayed that way if you understood the mechanisms we have described here. But when you do understand the mechanisms, Because you can go back and recreate that and make it a permanent way of life. You were born into heaven. You've experienced it once or more, and you can do it again and again and again. Because that's how powerful you are. You are a creator and you are in heaven. When you use your creation, you will manifest heaven every day in your life. And enjoy the beauty of a living experience on this wonderful planet.
Why does stress cause so much disease? I'll tell you why. Stress, you're running away from that saber-toothed tiger, whatever's threatening you. And I say, what is stress? Anything that gets in the way of where you want to go is a stressor. I say, so why is that relevant? I go, because that's like in the mind, the saber-toothed tiger, and you want to run. That's what's fight or flight. And I say, but you use your arms and legs. I go, yeah, but that, I need the energy. I said, The blood carries the energy. So I say, so what? When the stress hormones come into the body, you want the body to put the blood into the arms and legs because you're going to have to run. That's what fear and stress is about. I go, so what do you mean put it— isn't it in the arms and legs? I go, yeah, but most of the blood is in your gut. I say, what's the gut? All the organs of maintenance take care of your health, fix the blood, you know, aerate, clean, all that stuff. I go, yeah, but when you're in stress, I don't need to take care of myself. I got to run away from the tiger. So stress hormones, number one, shut off the blood vessels in the gut. And I said, that's like butterflies in the stomach when you feel that fear. That's the stress hormones causing the blood vessels to squeeze. I said, so why would it do that? Because then the blood is pushed to the arms and legs. That's where most of the energy is needed. That's number one. So you compromise health just by having stress hormones because you're shutting it off the maintenance. But number two, the immune system uses a lot of energy. That's why when people are sick, sometimes they can't even get out of bed. I say, so if I'm being chased by a saber-toothed tiger and I got a bacterial infection, how do I want to, you know, split the energy? And I go, the hell with the bacterial infection. That saber-toothed tiger catches you, bacteria is not your problem anymore. So guess what? Stress hormones by function shut down the immune system. And I go, it's so effective that when doctors want to transplant a foreign organ into a recipient and they don't want the recipient's immune system to reject the foreign organ, Before they do the transfer, they give the recipient stress hormones to shut off the immune system so it doesn't reject the foreign organ. I say, the stress hormones are so effective at shutting it off, they use it therapeutically to shut it off. And I go, why is it relevant? Because our entire world is in such stress all the time that they're dripping stress hormones. And I say, what are they doing? They're shutting off the growth and maintenance of the body. They're shutting down the immune system. I say, Net result, illness and death from stress. And that is why up to 90% of illness comes from stress, because the chemistry of stress redirects your energy to run, not to be conscious and aware and healthy.
Very important part of our understanding about life is that it's our perception of life, which actually means our beliefs about life. So the significance is, if you're going to plan your life, and you're going to make perceptions the programmer of your life, well then the best thing you can do is perceive of the life that you would wish and desire, because those thoughts will be translated by biology into the expression of your cells and your genetics, and you will manifest your wishes and your desires. And that's what the new biology is all about. Please listen to this.
A negative thought is equally powerful and controlling the biology.
So as much as a positive thought can heal you, a negative thought can kill you. It can make any disease. You can have a negative thought about cancer and manifest cancer. You have no genes that are even cancer-related genes, and it's like, where the hell did it come from? You are creating your biology as a complement to what you see. So if you see a positive world, then you're getting positive vibes coming in and it feels really great. And if you live in a negative world or one you believe to be negative, then the cells are inside cowering going, oh my God, it's not safe out there. And so my cells are just adjusting to my perception. So changing your perception is like, well, where's that? And I go, that's your mind. Take care of yourself. I say, what do you mean? First of all, take care of your system. It will manage this virus without killing you.
But first of all, you have to make sure your blood has proper nutrition. You need to be healthy in the system, and our diet is so compromised with industrial food and garbage food that I have to tell people, you've got to go back and eat natural. You have to go back and eat organic because industrial farm stuff is filled with chemistry that is, is causing you more problems. It's killing you. Number 2, take vitamins and supplements. Why? Especially vitamin C and vitamin D. These enhance the immune system.
Lots of vitamin C, way beyond whatever they say.
You know, you met Linus Pauling? Yes, I, I, I, you know, and it's interesting because I lectured at his, uh, institute when I was at Stanford. Wow.
And it was interesting because the science has revealed that massive doses—
I take 2 grams, uh, of vitamin C every morning.
High five.
And the relevance about that is I'm also, you know, I'm— what am I trying to do? De-stressing.
I'm not stressed. I live in another world. I walk out the door, I don't live in that world of the people around me.
They're the ones that are stressed. I'm like, I'm not stressed, I'm okay. I'm 76. Am I afraid because I'm old? Bullshit.
It's BS belief system, excuse me, uh, uh, that, um I'm not afraid to go outside. I, I eat well, I take vitamins and supplements. Hey, do work, exercise, something to keep the body moving because that enhances the vitality of the circulatory system, which is delivering immune function.
So eat well, vitamin supplements, do exercise. And number 4, most important, do not put the in your head, because the function of the mind is to manifest whatever you believe. And if you start to believe in the fear, then the function of the mind is to manifest that fear. And that's why the whole idea is shut off the damn TV and don't listen to these people, because they are disempowering you with fear.
And fear is where you lost your power, because once you do fear, is you shut yourself off.
And you can't shut yourself off. We are connected to a world.
You can't live in a bubble. You'll die.
And the idea is, if you buy the fear, you are putting up walls around you because you want to protect. I'm protecting here. I say walls are the opposite of growth. Growth, you have to open yourself to things in, okay? And, uh, and fear is you shut everything Another major assumption is that we're equivalent to genetic automatons.
We have genes, they control us, we don't control the genes, and therefore we're sort of like victims of our heredity. You got cancer running in your family, you say, "Oh my goodness, I'm going to get the cancer, I got the genes," or Alzheimer's or diabetes, whatever. This is completely false because it turns out genes control nothing. It's really the environment that controls that is controlling the genes, and more importantly, our perception of the environment. How we see the world, what we think about the world, is adjusting our genetics. So we find out disease— 1% of disease is connected to genetics. 90% or more of disease is connected to how we live in the world, because how we live in the world is altering or affecting our genetic activity.
So what we know and what we believe is changing our reality constantly.
Right, because the new science is called epigenetics, and what it means is this: our beliefs and how we see the world, we change our genetics. So rather than being victims, which we have believed all the way up to now, we are the masters. We change our genetics just by how we respond to the world. So we can change our responses, which means then we can change our genetics. So we're not victims. I am so grateful to offer this because as each one of us takes back our power and each one of us actually starts to live heaven on earth like you did when you fell in love, even if it was only for a week, if you could do that every day of your life and everyone around you was doing that every day of your life, then the simple truth is this, and earth does become heaven if we're all living as if it's heaven. And the function is to create. The mind is to take that vision and manifest it. If I believe I'm living in heaven, then my world experience will be, what would it be like if I lived in heaven? And being in love is the one time you unconsciously, unknowingly took back power.
The equivalent of the red pill. You unknowingly became powerful.
And I said, yeah, in 24 hours you changed your whole demeanor of life after you met this person.
Yeah. I go, you, you could have done it in different ways.
Didn't have to be with a person. You didn't need to fall in love with a person. You could fall in love with gardening. Yeah. If you're a gardener, you go out in the garden and you're digging the garden, you're having so much fun and the plants are growing and everything. I go, you just manifested heaven on earth for you. Isn't that beautiful? Living in the garden. I go, well, it doesn't have to be another person. Love doesn't— love is just focusing on something you desire. A pet, a garden, artwork, cleaning up the garage.
Really? You say that could be?
I say, yeah, because when I'm doing it, I'm creating order and happiness and all that. I go, well, fine, then you're cleaning up the garage. I gotta clean up the damn garage. So if you're cleaning up, because, wow, that's so much better now. I feel so much better in here. It's so clean. I know where everything is. I go, being in love doesn't have— it could be anything that keeps your conscious mind in front because it's When your conscious mind goes in the back is when you become the product of your subconscious program. So, um, and this is great. Perception can rewrite the genetic code. When you're under stress, you will rewrite your genes. It's built into every one of your cells. You have genetic engineering genes. The function of these genes is if you find stress that the body cannot seem to get out of, the body will make an effort to change its structure to get out of the problem. And of course the issue is this: what if your perception wasn't real and you change your genes? Now you're in deep doo-doo. And we now find a very important fact: 95% of cancer has no genetic linkage. 95% of cancer as a response of the individual cells to their experiencing life. And if you change your experiences, you can change the presence of that cancer. That's how it works. How did you learn anything after age 7? And the answer was repetition. That's what it was, was just practicing.
The more you repeat something, the more it becomes just so easy.
You don't know how to play an instrument, you practice like crazy. At some point, you practice so much, you pick up the instrument, No consciousness of the details of how you're playing it.
It's so automatic at this point.
It's like driving the car.
When you first got in the car, it's like, oh my God, you gotta watch the window, the mirrors, the gauges, the engine sound, every—
yeah, it's like so much. Today, you've been driving a car a long time, guess what? You don't even think about it. Put the key in, you're thinking about where you're going. And all of a sudden, so the more you practice, the effort it takes to carry out whatever it was you were practicing.
Now the question is, what are you practicing, something positive or something negative?
Because they both become programs, whichever one you're practicing. What we now know is the conscious mind, if you stay in the conscious mind, you have power. But if the conscious mind is thinking, it is not using its power to interfere with the, or to enact with the outer world. Thinking is using the power to go to the inner world. So a thought is not outside, a thought is inside. Yeah, but the conscious is reading the thoughts. So I said, what does that mean? I said, well, the conscious is helping me create this world. Oh, wait, the moment I'm thinking, I have to take that consciousness, redirect it, not look out, but redirect it because thinking is inside. So I said, well, what does that mean? I said, well, the moment you are thinking, You are not creating your world at this moment. I say, what does that mean? I say, if you're driving the car and all of a sudden you start thinking, what it means is you're not looking out the window anymore. You are now looking inside because answers for thoughts are on the inside. Then you go, oh my God, you stop looking out the window, the car is going to crash. And I go, cool part, or not. Yeah, the subconscious is autopilot. So the moment consciousness is not paying attention, the subconscious takes the wheel. But now comes the problem. The subconscious is not you, it's the program. So if I got bad driving instructions, then when the subconscious takes the wheel as autopilot, it's going to take me down the road to ruin. It's not going to take me to where conscious says, I want to have this wonderful success, but my program is you're not worthy, you're not smart enough, you're not deserving. So when that program grabs the wheel, it's not going to take me to success. It's going to take me to where the program goes. So if I disempower you in your programming and 95% of your life comes from that, the rest of your life is struggle. And it's not because you couldn't create it. It's just you didn't realize that this subconscious guy is working 95% of the time and you don't see it. And this is where— how come life seems to be a struggle from the outside coming in when it's like, oh my God, you didn't get it. You're creating both success and you're creating failure. It's not coming from outside. If you change the picture in your mind, you change the chemistry, you change the fate. So I'll give an example. If I have a picture of love in my mind, the brain releases complementary chemistry, dopamine, pleasure. Oxytocin, bond with your loved one. Growth hormone, which does exactly what it says, it enhances your growth. And that's why when people fall in love, the chemistry of the brain going into the blood, the culture medium, enhances vitality. People glow when they fall in love. People are healthy when they fall in love. It's not an accident, it's the chemistry of your culture medium. But now I say, but wait, what if I have a picture of fear? I go, "Oh, well, love chemistry doesn't come out when fear is in the picture. The brain releases stress hormones and factors that affect the immune system and growth of the system." And I go, "Oh my goodness." I say, "Why is it relevant?" Changing my thought changes my chemistry. The chemistry adjusts my biology. So if I can control my thoughts, I can control the chemistry, and therefore, I control the biology. That takes me to empowerment. Mastery. After being programmed by medicine and biology all these years that you're just a victim of your genes, that's 100% false. Genes cannot turn on and off by themselves. They're controlled by the signals of the environment, which are then controlled by the brain and the consciousness. And all of a sudden it says, yeah, but I control those things. I go, yes, you do. And as a result, you have power to heal yourself and create what you want on this planet. Just to begin with a very interesting concept that Judeo-Christianity has provided the large population of the world with a belief that Genesis occurred and God created the planet, then the water, and then the animals and the plants, and after all this creation, then God said, "Let's add some humans to the mix." So we didn't come from that creation, we were added to the Earth. Science comes in and also separates us from the planet because conventional science based on what is called Newtonian physics, we are physical particles separate from each other. We're all separate pieces. And we lost the understanding that the word Gaia is a living organism. The Earth is a cell. We are connected to everything. We've lost that vision. We feel that we are a piece in a bunch of pieces. And as I said, are we going to be safe or are we going to be afraid in this? And I said then we want to protect ourselves. And if you understand the breathing of most people, it's very shallow. It's right up here. Why? I don't want to take too much of the outside in. I'm protecting myself. But as Sadhguruji said, we still need oxygen. So we breathe in a little bit of oxygen, but we want to be separate. And the simple reality is those beliefs are totally false. We were created with everything. We are created from everything. There is no separation between us and the world in which we live. And so when we are breathing very shallow, we are actually— remember I said protection, close yourself down. Shallow breathing closing yourself down. When you start to learn to take in the breath of life, you are opening yourself to the entire world around us. And that opening of the world makes us part of this world, not a separate piece from one another. So breathing becomes a very important part of, am I hiding from the world by just breathing a little tiny bit, or can I take in this breath? And become part of this oneness that we are. Your separation is where all the problems of life come from. Your breathing can open you up to this entire world, to take it in. You are this world. You are every bit of this. You're a reflection of everything out there. You came from that. So basically, can we We stop the protection that we think is helping us, but it's the protection that is killing us. And breathing, can I take this in? Can I take the world in? Yes. And I can thrive. And so when we start to let go of that protection, the breathing will start to go from shallow chest to abdominal. Because I'm taking in the world with every breath. I'm taking in the energy of the world with every breath. And that is what makes us whole. You have shallow breathing, you have fear, all of a sudden you cannot be whole anymore. And so we come here to learn to take power back. And, oh my God, closing word. Yoga.
Because you made it this far in the video, I want to celebrate you. Most people start and don't finish. Most people never actually follow through. Most people say they want something, but they don't ever do the work to actually get it. But you are different. You are special. Believe Nation, you made it here all the way to the end, and I love I love you. So as a special celebration, if you put a hashtag #believe down in the comments below on this video, I will showcase you and celebrate you somewhere on the screen in a future video because you are awesome. To learn about the law of attraction secrets, check the video right there next to me. I think you'll love it. Continue to believe and I'll see you there. Then I'm going to feel so great. No, well, then they're back to the program, waiting for it to happen for them to feel the emotion. They're, they're believing their outer world has to change in order for them to feel better.
There's, there's no
