How to Heal from Within - No More Limits | Dr. Joe Dispenza

Joe Dispenza went from competing in a triathlon, getting run over by an SUV and breaking his back in 6 places, to healing himself instead of taking high-risk surgeries and teaching people around the world how they can step beyond their limitations and heal themselves. Here's my take on his top 10 rules of success.

Enjoy. When you begin to create from the field, instead of from matter. The only way you can do that is you have to learn how to take all of your attention off your body and become a nobody. Take all of your attention off all the people in your life that you give so much of your attention and energy to because you have an emotion associated with them. And get beyond all the people in your life and go from a someone to a no one. Now, if you've worked your whole life being a someone, or if you've been working your whole life thinking that you're your body, You're gonna have to work a little harder because that's your identity. That's what you're associated with.

And it's a long time of conditioning. It's a long time of conditioning.

And if this was easy, everybody would be doing it. So then you have to go get beyond all the things in your life, your cell phone, your computer, your car, and literally go from something to nothing. You have to take all your attention off the place you work, the place you live, the place you need to be, the place you're sitting, and go from somewhere to nowhere. You got to stop thinking about the predictable future and the familiar past and go right into the present moment and go from some time to no time. And if you do that properly, you become pure consciousness. And that's how you enter the field. Now, we've done the research on this. We call it getting beyond the self. Now, once you are pure consciousness, you're taking all of your attention off this three-dimensional reality. Now, where you place your attention is where you place your energy. So if you've taken all of your attention off of everything material, there's only one place you're going to wind up, and that is the immaterial realm called the quantum field, an invisible field of energy that unifies and connects everything material. So now when you're creating from the field and you combine a clear intention with an elevated emotion and you're connected and you feel connected, the suggestion of an alternative way to create is that when there's a vibrational match between your energy and some future reality, you actually no longer have to go anywhere to get it. You're actually the vortex, and you will collapse space and time and draw the experience to you. Now, that to me is a lot more fun because the experience is the unknown. You can't predict when it's going to happen or how it's going to happen, because if you can predict it, it's known. So then you have to lay down the very thing you use your whole life to get what you want for something greater to occur. Now, that goes against generations untold of conditioning and a lifetime of habituation, believing that we're trapped in this material world. And yet I can say to you without a doubt that once you understand that formula, And once you know how to create that kind of brain and heart coherence, the side effect of that is a change in biology, neurologically, chemically, hormonally, genetically. We've measured it. We've seen gene regulation changes in 4 days. More brain coherence, more heart coherence. Your brain's working better. Your heart is— you're trusting your heart. It's open. There's different chemicals that are released. Oxytocin suppresses survival centers, resets the baseline. A person's trauma or shock, your immune system goes up. You lengthen your telomeres. We've measured that too. So you're changing the future of your body. You're extending your life. That's evidence, right? So we have the evidence to know that it could happen because we've measured it. But the real evidence is watching the testimonial of someone who says, I had stage 4 cancer. I was told as a 41-year-old woman that I wouldn't live for more than 2 months, and I have no evidence of cancer in my body at all. Or someone that's a physician who has Parkinson's disease that's tried everything from the medical route and has one transcendental moment and their tremors and their pain are gone. And now they're chewing food, they're swallowing, they're blowing their nose, they're standing up on their own. That's energy affecting matter. So we have hundreds and hundreds of testimonials of people that not only healed their body, but created pretty profoundly magical things in their life. So you have evidence in the scientific world, you have evidence in the practical world, and evidence is the loudest voice right now.

Rule number 2: Recondition your brain.

The brain is a record of the past. It's an artifact of everything we've learned and experienced to this moment. So most people wake up in the morning and they think about their problems, and their problems are memories that are etched in their brain that are connected to certain people and certain problems at certain times in certain places. And the moment they start thinking of their problems, they're thinking in the past. The challenge is that every one of those problems has an emotion associated with it, and emotions really are a record of the past. So the moment you feel unhappy, the moment you feel suffering, the moment you feel fear, now your body's in the past. So it's the thought being the language of the brain and the feeling being the language of the body, and how we think and how we feel creates our state of being. So many people reaffirm their state of being completely by the past. And so it only takes a thought and a feeling, an image and emotion, a stimulus and response to start the conditioning process. So we start to condition the brain and body, hardwire the brain, condition the body emotionally into the past. The problem is the body's so objective that it doesn't know the difference between the real-life experience that's creating the emotion and the emotion we're creating by memory alone. The body's believing it's living in the same past environment 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. So then the person gets up and then they run through the same routine as they always do, and in time their body moves into a state of autopilot. Now their body is a set of programs, a habit that's dragging them into the same future based on what they did in the past. And so to change them also requires being greater than the emotions that have been conditioned into the body and the habituations that have been conditioned into the body in the predictable future. So we have to understand then that change requires not only being greater than the environment, but also being greater than our body, which is really for the most part been conditioned to be the mind. That's what a habit is. So then to change, then to be greater than the body, to be greater than the environment and be greater than time. Instead of living in the familiar past, which is the known and the predictable future, which is the known, you teach people how to settle into the present moment. And that's the unknown. And most people, that the unknown represents a very threatening place. And so when people start to do meditation as an example, and their body starts looking for an arousal, wants to get up and do things, they think they can't meditate. But in fact, if they can settle their body back down into the present moment and lower the volume to that anger, to that frustration, to the fear, to the sadness. It's like training an animal. Now you're telling the body it's no longer the mind, that you're the mind. And our research shows there's a liberation of energy. The body starts expanding and relaxing into the present moment. Instead of getting up and checking your cell phone or doing something, you notice that propensity. Instead of responding to it and say, I can't meditate, you settle your body back down into the present moment. Now you're executing a will that's greater than the program, because most people lose their free will to a set of programs. And it's the act of doing this, to be greater than the conditions of our environment, to be greater than our body as the mind, and, and to be greater than time, that all of a sudden causes the person to start believing in themselves a little bit more. And that's when possibility starts to unfold.

Rule number 3: Step into the unknown.

Let's say you've had some pretty rough experiences in your past. And those experiences cause you to feel sad and unworthy and guilty and judgmental. And you've gotten so used to feeling guilty and unworthy and judgmental that that just feels normal to you. And then because you feel kind of victimized, then you blame people and you complain and you make excuses and you feel sorry for yourself. And that's your personality. And all of a sudden you say, "Today I'm not gonna do that any longer because that's the old self." And then you start off your day and it goes really well for about 2 hours. And then all of a sudden, the moment you realize that you're no longer making the same choices as the day before, you are going to feel uncomfortable. It's going to feel unfamiliar. It's going to be uncertain. There's going to be some unpredictability. And we now know that people would rather hold on to their guilt and unworthiness than to step into the unknown, because at least they can feel something. And so the moment you stop making the same choices that you always make, get ready because it's going to be uncomfortable. And that's the moment you're heading towards the new self. And we call it stepping into the river of change. But now remember, 95% of who you are is your body as the mind. You know, you've done something enough times that your body does it better than your brain. So you may actually complain unconsciously, 'cause your body does it all the time. And all of a sudden you say, "No complaining. No more blaming. No more feeling sorry for myself. No more talking about other people. I'm gonna stop." You know what happens, don't you? The body starts sending signals to the brain. The body's been conditioned that way. And all of a sudden, you start hearing the thoughts in your head that say, "Why don't you start tomorrow? Tomorrow's a better day. This is too hard for me. I can't change. Something's wrong with me. It's my mother's fault. It's my ex-husband's fault." It's my ex-wife's fault. I'm this way because of this event. Or the most important one: this doesn't feel right. And the moment you respond to that thought as if it's true, that thought leads to the same choice, which leads to the same behavior, that creates the same experience, that produces the same emotion. And the person says, this feels right. That feels familiar. Going from the old self to the new self, stepping into that void, stepping into that uncertainty, is the biological, the neurological, the chemical, the hormonal genetic death of the old self. And people will say to us, well, in that unknown I can't predict my life or my future. And we always say the same thing to them: the best way to predict your future is to create it, not from the known but from the unknown. And when you and I get comfortable in the place of the unknown, that's where the magic happens. And it never happens in the known.

Rule number 4: Open your heart.

If you have a very brain-driven person like myself, And in some parts, I disconnected from my emotions just to protect me in regular life. And it's a challenge for me to reconnect to my old emotions that I already had in circumstances that would help. Do you have any advice?

Yeah, well, God, I have a lot of advice around that because 70% of the time that people in their waking lives They live in a very protective state. They live in a state of stress or in a state of survival. In fact, it's such a program that we don't know that we're doing this. We're always scanning the environment to determine if it's safe or not. And if something appears out of the predictable or unknown, it alerts us and we move into a state of arousal and we begin to turn on the very systems that begin to say danger, threat, possible scenario that's not safe. And when that happens, we literally begin to anticipate an outcome. And when we do that, we're always preparing for what could go wrong. And we begin to create the emotions ahead of the experience of what happens if it goes wrong, whether it's fear, anxiety, worry, sadness, pain. We do that unconsciously. That's what a program is, and that becomes the habit. So if you're living in a world where men have to provide and show a certain amount of success and be competitive, then you're not going to open your heart. It's not a time to do that. It's a time to survive and thrive in an environment. And yet, in our work, I see men that if they practice opening their hearts and it's just being a child again, being a boy again, being curious, being wondering, being free, being allowing yourself to let go.

Rule number 5: Change your personality.

We're all faced with, uh, great challenges brilliantly disguised as impossible situations, and there's always a door. There is always a door. And so your personality creates your personal reality. It's that simple. And your personality is made up of how you think, how you act, in how you feel. So the present personality who's listening to this show has created the present personal reality called their life, which means if you're going to change something in your personal reality, in your life, you got to change your personality. You have to change. Nothing changes until you change. That's the bottom line. You change, but the thought of changing my personality seems so like But I like who I am, kind of. But I'm also cranky. I'm also annoyed. So, like, who is that person underneath all of these ailments? I guess all of these. But it's a weird thing to say you change your personality. Well, look, I mean, there's many things that I love about my personality, just like you do. I'm going to take that with me. But there are things— if I'm going to be defined by a vision of the future, there are things that can't come. Because the moment you say, I want to have a mystical experience where I transcend this 3-dimensional world, and, and you want to have a really profound moment, a transcendental moment, you start showing up for that and it doesn't happen right away, then what? You're going to start disbelieving? You start— stop believing in yourself? So the moment we're defined by a vision of the future that's bigger than us, that vision of the future is not the vision of the past. And when we do that, we take away— we take with us our discipline, we take our concentration, we take our presence, we take our passion, we take our strengths with us. All those things you take. But the things that are standing in the way are those old beliefs, the things that stand in the way that, that, that, that stop you from connecting to it. Those are the things you come up against. And, and it's not the— it's not the mystical experience of the transcendental experience. It's who you become. It's not your wealth, it's not your health, it's who you become. It's It's not your freedom. It's who you become in the process. And it's the overcoming process that we overcome, that we overcome, that we overcome, that we overcome, that we finally become. And so many great people in history, you know, even wealthy people, people always want to be wealthy. But if you study wealthy people that really did it, they failed miserably thousands of times until they figured it out. And so you keep showing up for yourself enough times, you're going to change. You're going to change. You're going to be thinking differently. You're going to be acting differently, you're going to be feeling differently. And that's when the universe starts to conspire in ways that we just never even thought about. That's, that's, that's the beauty behind creation.

Rule number 6: Open your focus.

When a person begins to slow their brainwaves down, they have to go— when you're in stress, when you're in survival, you narrow your focus on a cause. That's called a— what's called a convergent focus. So now you're blessing the energy centers of the body. They're under the control of the autonomic nervous system. And when the autonomic nervous system moves out of balance, the brain moves out of balance, right? We narrow our focus on the cause, and it causes each one of these different energy centers to move into incoherence as well. And those little, little individual brains start moving into incoherence and send an incoherent message to the cells and tissues and organs. Hormones then become downregulated, and the body starts moving out of balance. So when we bless the energy centers, or we reprogram these energy centers, two things have to happen. They have to be able to slow their brainwaves down. They have to get out of that high beta state. And the way we do it is to go from a narrow focus to a broad focus. When you open your focus, when you open your awareness, that's what creates coherence in the brain, because you're going against that habit of putting your attention on matter. So there's a convergent focus, which is focusing on matter, and then there's a divergent focus, which is focusing on energy. Well, reality is both particle and wave, matter and energy. So if a person can slow their brainwaves down from beta brainwaves to alpha brainwaves, now they're starting to fall out of their thinking brain right into the home of the autonomic nervous system. If a person can't change their brainwaves, it'll never work because they're in their neocortex and they're thinking. Thinking mind, right? So that's one thing that has to happen. The second thing that has to happen is that they have to practice both a convergent focus and a divergent focus. So by the convergent, you're focusing on, let's say I'm going to focus on this energy center, right? And then you move your focus to another energy center. Well, first you focus on that energy center, that's particle, and then you focus on the space around it, that's wave. And so when you open your awareness and you're able to do that and you're in your autonomic nervous system, you can put an intention there. Which will create more balance in estrogen, more balance in your sexual organs. You move to your second center, you put your attention there. That's where you place your attention is where you place your energy. So now you're beginning to direct energy into that center. But now you become aware of the space around it. Why? To create coherence in that little brain. Send the coherent message to the cells and tissues. Go to your third center, right in the pit of your gut. Well, there's a huge celiac plexus —there's solar plexus, a lot of connections in there. So now put your attention— that's a big one, always getting a lot of signs there. Yeah, here and here, heart and solar plexus. Yeah, that's— those are big ones. And you tune into that energy, then you put your attention in your heart. It has its own individual brain. Yeah. And when you make energy here, when energy finally arrives here, guess where it goes automatically? Straight up. We've measured it. So now once you start opening your heart, you get more energy in your heart, you get more energy in your brain. Got it. Short on time, just go straight to the heart. That's why we do it. That's exactly why we— that's why we open the heart. So it creates a field and it begins to drive energy in the brain. So now that energy is going to cause the person to have a different consciousness, a different thought pattern, right? And now they're going to be thinking possibility, because in survival, the first 3 ones are all about survival. Yeah, it's really not a creative process of creating from mind. It's more about a more primitive, you know, humanistic part of us, you know, animal part of us. So then there's the thyroid plexus, the pineal gland, the pituitary gland. So we've seen when people create coherence in each one of these energy centers and they do it properly, they know how to change their brainwaves, they get into the operating system, they can master convergent and divergent focus, they're no longer living just this way, they've practiced opening their awareness and focus on energy, becoming conscious of it. And as these brains become more coherent and they start producing different signals to hormones and chemicals and into different glands in the body, that's what's being upregulated to make different, different expressions.

Rule number 7: Be a creator, not a victim.

Would you say it's smart to focus on one goal? I mean, if you're sick, obviously it's smart to focus on getting healthy. But if you have a regular life and you say, you know, I would like to have the classical stuff, more money, more wealth, more love, more joy. Would you say in those meditations it's smart to focus on different goals, or should it rather be the big goal, like a big vision I have for my life, that all the steps on the way are just marks I will pass at one point?

Well, let's answer that on two levels too, because people come to our workshops for all different reasons. Some people come because they're sick. Some people come because they want more money. Some people want more— a new job, a new opportunity, a new career, a new relationship. Some people want the mystical. The people come for all kinds of reasons. To me, I don't care. What I care about is that they latch on to a vision and they learn how to create. Whatever drives them to that elegant moment where they're so present and so passionate about what they want, and they have a clear intention, a clear vision, a coherent brain, and they have an elevated emotion combined with it that they create heart coherence. And now they're broadcasting a whole new energy into the field. And whatever we broadcast into the field is our experiment with destiny. So I want people to know the how, because we have plenty of people that have made millions and millions of dollars that were living in the backseat of their car or filed bankruptcy. We have plenty of people that were stage 4 cancer, serious health conditions that are healed. But really, people think they come for those reasons, but we come for wholeness. That's why we come. That when we feel so whole and so happy with ourselves, so connected to something greater, if you feel wholeness, it's impossible for you to want. How can you want when you're whole? When you're whole, you feel like you have everything. So I want people to reach that point where they feel so whole that they no longer want. And that's when the magic happens. Teaching them that allows them to understand that when they come back to their senses, they open their eyes, they're not looking for the experience. They feel like it's already happened. And if you feel like it's already happened, why would you be looking for it? Then if your body is conditioned emotionally into that future, you're not separate from the energy of your future. You're connected from it. To it. But the moment you get in traffic and you start getting angry, you get on the line at the bank and you start getting impatient, or you're sitting in a staff meeting, you start judging a coworker, you just disconnected from the energy of the future and now you're back to the energy of your past. And you've done nothing wrong. You just lost your connection to the future. Now, now the importance of that is to notice that you're disconnected. And if you say to me, well, that person made me feel this way and think this way, I'd say, oh my gosh, you're back to the unconscious program of being a victim in your life. The victim is saying that someone or something is controlling how I think and feel. But a person who's producing outcomes in their life, all of a sudden they say, wow, the way I'm thinking and feeling is creating outcomes in my life. Now I'm a creator in my life, and now I believe less that I'm a victim in my life.

Rule number 8: Keep learning new things.

I want to show you what it looks like when you learn something new. You have 100 billion neurons in your brain. 100 billion neurons. The number of connections you have in one neuron is between 10,000 and 40,000 connections. If you took 100 billion sheets sheets of paper and you stacked them on top of each other, it would be 5,000 miles high. That's the distance from Los Angeles to London. If you took a scoop of gray matter the size of a grain of sand, you would have 100,000 neurons in it with over a billion connections. Now, I'll stop right after this slide. Learning is making new synaptic connections. Every time you learn something new, this is what's happening in your brain, geniuses. If you learned one bit of information today, your brain did this. Boom. That's learning. Physical evidence as a result of your interaction in the environment. Every time you learn something in your brain, there's a physical change that takes place, and learning is making new connections. Are you with me? This is how fast it happens too. That's learning. If you learn anything this week, you've made a footprint. If learning is making new synaptic connections, then if you keep firing the same thoughts over and over again, you're gonna wire them in your brain. So then if learning is making new synaptic connections, then remembering is maintaining them. And all of a sudden, they develop a long-term relationship. And just like any relationship, the more you communicate, the more they connect. And neurons are exactly the same way. Now as you begin to learn information, neurons tend to assemble themselves into networks, or what's called neural networks. And neural networks are just gangs of neurons that have fired and wired together to form a community of neurosynaptic connections that's related to a thought, a skill, a habit, a behavior, a concept. And neural networks are automatic programs. You have a neural network to brush your teeth, to put on makeup, to speak a language, to walk, all of a sudden those neurons then form a hardware circuitry. But if you keep repeating it, the hardware becomes a software program and it becomes automatic.

Rule number 9: Shift your mindset.

People think that they want certain things because they're experiencing lack, and, and so they have to go about becoming the very person. So then if we reframe it and you say, oh, I really want to be wealthy, I want all my needs met, and I'll say, really, why you want to be wealthy? And they'll say, because I want freedom. I'd say, okay, let's focus on freedom. So now the person understands the sponsoring thought or the emotion. Why would you wait for your wealth to feel free? That's the Newtonian model of reality, of cause and effect, waiting for someone or something out there to take away this emptiness or lack. Hmm, and what if I'm feeling this emotion? This emotion is influencing certain thoughts, and how I think and feel creates my life. If I'm living in lack, I'm not going to create anything new. But if I say to you, hey, when you become that person, once you become it, then your reality is going to reorganize itself. Instead of living by cause and effect, let's teach you how to cause an effect. So then the person then is no longer interested in getting something in their environment when they realize it's about who they become. And all of a sudden now the emphasis or the interest is in becoming that person. And we have a week with those people and I want them to walk as it, sit as it, stand as it, lay down as it. I want them to get in the habit of walking from their room to the ballroom. It's become the new habit. That's why when we do our work, you're We're doing sitting meditations, we're doing standing and walking meditations, we're doing lying down meditations. I want it to become a new habit. I want them to become that person.

And rule number 10, the last one before some very special bonus clips, is shorten emotional reactions.

One of my biggest problems is that I tend to react quickly to negative situations.

How can I cope with anger?

Do you have any suggestions or advice? Yeah, I'll tell you the first thing. It's not that you react. We all react. The question is, how long are you going to react? That's the question. So we found out that when people react emotionally with anger, with antagonism, there's an arousal that takes place because you're turning on the sympathetic nervous system And the sympathetic nervous system is a primitive system saying, Alex, whatever that is, is a threat to you. And if there's a threat, a good way to deal with a threat is to get aggressive. That's primitive. It's animal. It's very animal. Some people will say, oh my God, there's my ex. And instead of getting angry, they run. They flee. They're in fear. They're like, the fear is I'm better just getting away. They, their fear causes them to run. So when people feel fear, when they feel anger, when they feel pain, those are the primary stimulators that switch on that sympathetic nervous system. And they used to say that it's automatic. Like, it's automatic, it happens automatically. That's part of the autonomic nervous system, and you really don't have any control of it. It turns out that's absolutely not the truth. So first thing is learning how to shorten your response to the emotional reaction. So if you have an event that happens to your life and in your life, and I say, Alex, why are you so mad today? And you say, oh, it's because of this situation and this person, this happened this way. And I would say, oh my gosh, Do you mean that that person or that circumstance is controlling the way you feel and the way you think? Now, anything that's controlling the way we feel and the way we think makes us victims, whatever that is. Now, that's okay. But if you keep that emotional reaction going on for hours or days, and I say to you, Alex, It's 5 days, what's up? And you say to me, I'm upset from something that happened to me 5 days ago. I'd say you have a mood, you're in a mood. Now, some people keep that same emotional reaction going on for weeks or months. And then I would say, well, Alex has an angry temperament. It becomes a temperament. If we keep it going for, now this is true, people keep this going for years on end. If it goes on for years, now it's a personality trait. So here's the weird part about it. You ask that person who's been angry for years why they're angry, and they'll recall an event from 10 years ago or a series of events from 10 years ago. And the research— Yeah, and the research on the memory says that 50% of that story isn't even the truth. They can't even remember the truth. They embellish the story and make it sound worse than it really was to excuse themselves from changing. Now, what we tell people is forget the event. Doesn't matter. The details of the event doesn't— what matters is learning how to overcome the emotion. So when you're sitting in a meditation and all of a sudden out of nowhere your body starts getting aroused and it starts getting frustrated and it starts getting angry and people say, I'm doing my meditation wrong. You know what I say to them? No, no, no, no, you're doing it right because that has to come up. So then, so when the anger and the frustration comes up and a person's in a meditation, they have one of two choices: to quit, which is which is what they've always done. But if you're sitting with 1,500 people and no one else is quitting, you're not going to quit. And if I teach you how to lower the volume to that emotion and I teach you a way to change that— I always say to people, when is the last time you sat with your heart and just worked with it? Like, so that it's not contracted and afraid and protected It takes practice to do that. And so we work with people in letting them— we give them numerous opportunities to practice this over and over and over again. And sooner or later, petal by petal, it starts to bloom. And all of a sudden, there's an authentic smile on their face. And once energy meets the heart, it goes right to the brain. We have— we did this study where we hooked up an electrocardiogram to an electroencephalogram. And an electroencephalogram is a brain map. Mapping machine. So we measure 19 or 26 different compartments, and we're looking to see all different kind of activity in the brain. But we measure the heart along with it. And when the heart starts beating coherently, in a sense of order, like taking a big sheet, Jay, and going like that, the heart sends a wave right up to the brain. And the brain goes into these beautiful states of alpha. The heart is telling the brain it's safe to create again. It's safe to imagine. Safe to dream of a new future. And there's the stroke volume of the heart in order, and then you see these 2 or 3 seconds of beautiful coherent alpha. The brain is in that creative state. Then there's a pause and it happens again. And it's beauty, it's a symphony. If you don't have that mechanism, you can have all the intention in the world, but there's no carrier wave. I mean, And people, when they make energy reach their heart, there's an external field that's created. It's magnetic. It's measurable. And that energy is frequency. And if that frequency is coherent, it can carry the intent or thought on a coherent brain of that future. The energy of suffering cannot carry the thought of health or wealth. It's not consistent with it. It carries a different set of thoughts. So then the training then is getting people into those hard states, because once they start trading that fear or that pain or that frustration or trying or whatever, forcing control for gratitude, and they just let all that go. And I say to them, listen, if you can't feel gratitude, if you can't feel love, I just want to know what you've been practicing feeling every day, because that feeling that you're practicing is what you're always feeling. Now let's practice feeling something else. In the beginning, it's not going to be easy, but you got to keep following following the formula, keep doing it, keep doing it, keep doing it. Well, when they start feeling gratitude, it's very interesting because the emotional signature of gratitude is that something wonderful just happened to you. Something favorable is happening to you. Right? So you've just received something or you're receiving something, you say thank you. So gratitude is the ultimate state of receiving emotionally. So when you move into a state of gratitude and you open your heart, you will accept, believe, and surrender to the thoughts equal to that emotional state, and you'll program your autonomic nervous system into a different destiny. You could say, I'm healthy, I'm healthy, I'm healthy, I'm wealthy, I'm wealthy, I'm wealthy, I'm wealthy, I'm free, I'm free, I'm free. And your body is conditioned into misery and it's saying, no, you're not. And that thought stops right at the brainstem. It never makes it to the body because the body is on a different program. So then, well, the person starts trading that and they start opening their heart. Well, their immune system gets stronger by 50%. 50% in 3 days, they start making immunoglobulins, their body's natural defense against viruses and bacteria. 50%, not a little bit, a lot. That's one study. And so trading that, telling the body it's in the environment where it already happened. And so that's when the miracles start happening. That's when people say, "I'm not doing anything." Well, of course you're not. You don't have to.

Can you believe in a future that you can't see or experience with your senses yet, but you've thought about enough times in your mind that your brain is literally changed to look like the event has already occurred? The latest research in neuroscience says you can change your brain from living in the past to living in the future. And can you fall in love with that vision to such a degree that you come out of your resting state and change guilt or suffering into inspiration and joy and gratitude? To such a degree that your body, as the unconscious mind, does not know the difference between that external event and what you're creating internally, so that your body believes it's living in that future in the present moment, and you begin to signal new genes in new ways to change your body to look to look like the event has already occurred. The latest research in epigenetics says you can change your body by thought alone. Now reason this with me. If there's physical evidence in your brain and body to look like the event has already occurred, your brain and body are no longer living in the past. In the future, and you will walk right into your vision. Now, most people in this audience, all of you, have done something great in your life. You all have. A reason is you woke up one day or you had a wild thought out of nowhere, and that thought What was a possibility in the future? Something new you wanted to experience. And the moment you started thinking about this experience, the moment you started contemplating this potential reality, you turned on a part of your brain called the frontal lobe, the crowning achievement of the human being. It's 40% of your entire brain. It is the creative center, and it has connections to all other parts of the brain. And the moment you said, "What would it be like to be a leader? What would it be like to be successful? What would it be like to have this vision come true?" The moment you asked that open-ended question, you turned on this part of the brain. Because the rest of the brain is just a bunch of automatic programs. And now the frontal lobe, the creative center, wakes up, and it has connections to the entire brain. It's the CEO, it's the boss, it's the symphony leader of the brain. And the moment you get creative, the frontal lobe begins to select different networks of neurons that are stored in your brain from things you've learned or experienced. And as you begin to think think a what-if question, it begins to select these different networks and begins to seamlessly piece them together and making your brain fire in new sequences and in new patterns and new combinations. And whenever you make your brain work differently, you're changing your mind, because mind is the brain in action. Mind is the brain at network, and the moment those neurons fire in tandem, you get a picture in your mind, a hologram, a vision, an abstraction. And for those people who are passionate, that thought that they're thinking begins to create an elevated emotion. They become inspired. They feel enthusiastic, entheos, filled with God. They become passionate. They started to open their hearts. And all of a sudden, they're combining a clear intention with an elevated emotion. And it's the combination of a clear intention and an elevated emotion in our research over and over again that proves then the person now is changing fundamentally, changing biologically, changing internally, and their brain and body are moving from living in the past into living in the future.

Few things we can do to support our inner environment on a daily basis. Ah, well, listen, the first thing and the most important thing for me is knowledge and information. Knowledge is really power and knowledge and information about yourself, it should empower you. It should empower the self, right? So when we learn about the immune system and all that can do, and when you say, "Oh my God, you mean not every virus gets to me?" In fact, no. And the more you understand that and the more you coax your immune system into love and into— like I just did this little thing on, on our social media where I was talking about the inner army of order and what would be the signal you would want that inner army to get. And so we created this meditation and we said, what would invincibility feel like? Signal your body and feel invincible. How would you feel if you had an uncompromising will, that you had more energy than you could possibly imagine? Show your body what it feels like, because it is that emotion of invincibility, that emotion of an uncompromising will. To empower your inner world and you have the intent of that's what it's for, wow, get ready because you're going to start creating a cadence and a rhythm where your body's going, whoa, what is all these new chemicals? What are all these new signals? Hey, it's time. Hey, hey, now all of a sudden receptor sites on the T cells go, wow, we got some new signals coming from the boss here. Let's open up all those T cell receptors. Let's go. We would love a little fight right now because we got a lot of time on our hands and we got all our receptors turned on. Oh, I mean, that would be a signal for your body. We also know that if you could just trade fear and frustration and resentment and suffering for an elevated emotion and truly open your heart again and practice doing that, You'll heal. You'll heal. You'll heal. Because, I mean, all healings happen in the heart.

If your brain is a record of the past and you are living by the same emotions that have defined you for the last 10 years, and you keep thinking the same thoughts that make the same chemicals, and those same chemicals drive the same thoughts, then your body, as the unconscious mind your mind does not know the difference between an actual experience in your life that creates an emotion and an emotion that you're creating by thought alone. And so your body is believing it's in the same past experience 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and your body is programmed into the past. And you can't create a new future holding on to the emotions of the past. How many people understand what I'm talking about? So then, when you react to someone or something in your life, you have a choice. That when an event changes how you feel, there's a chemical change that that's taking place in your body. And most people don't think they can control their emotional reactions. And so then, when you react to some coworker or some relative or somebody in traffic, the moment you react emotionally, you are altered chemically. And if you don't know how to control your emotional reaction, after that event, and you allow those emotions to linger for hours or days, you know what that's called? That's called a mood. "Hey, Juanito, what's wrong with you?" "Oh, I'm in a mood." "Really?" Why are you in a mood? Well, this thing happened to me 4 days ago, and I'm having one long emotional reaction. And if you keep that same refractory period going on for weeks or months, that's called a temperament. Hey, why is she so angry? I don't know. Why are you so angry? Why are you so bitter? Why are you so enchilada? Because I had this experience 7 months ago and I'm memorizing my emotional reaction. And if you keep that same refractory period going on for years on end, That's called a personality trait. And people wear their emotions on their sleeve, and that's who they think they are. And they will talk about the past to validate why they're not creating the life that they want. So then if you wake up in the morning— Mexico City— and you are not being defined by a vision that's bigger than you, and it doesn't get you out of bed and inspire you into possibility, and you get up living from the old hardware of the past and the old emotions stored in your body, do you know what's going to happen to you? You're going to wake up and you're going to open your eyes, and you're going to see the same people, and go to the same places and do the exact same thing at the exact same time, and the moment you open your eyes, all of a sudden now, it's your external environment that's controlling how you think and feel. Because you have a neurological network in your brain for every person you know, every place that you go, everything that you own, everything that you do. And the moment you open your eyes and you see the same people and go to the same places and do the exact same thing at the exact same time, it's your external environment that's turning on different circuits in your brain, causing you to think equal to everything that you know. And you told me you believe that your thoughts have something to do with your destiny. And as long as you're thinking equal to your environment, you keep creating the same life. To change, to truly change, is to think greater than your environment, to think greater than the circumstances in your life, to think greater than the conditions in your world. And every great person in history knew this. Whether it was Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, the Wright brothers, Joan of Arc. The future then is created by a clear intention and an elevated emotion— now listen closely— that you have to cultivate in your inner environment of thoughts and feelings. But most people, by the old self, are living from past memories that are created from knowledge and experience from something that happened outside of them, some experience or trauma that defined them. And getting a person beyond the old self then is the great work. That's what we're here for. So, we've studied motivation, and I can tell you without a doubt that the highest form of motivation in any culture, in any group of people, is what's called purpose motivation, duty motivation, or mission motivation. You know what that is? To have a vision to change a culture that's bigger than you, to instill change in the world. Look at Elon Musk. How many people know who he is? Elon Musk, he created Tesla Motors. You know him? You know who he is? He created an electric car that can go from 0 to 60 in less than 5 seconds. And before him, electric cars were like golf carts that crawled along the road.

And he said, I'm gonna do this.

I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but I have a vision. And I'm going to get the best engineers in the world, and instead of creating a new product and selling it to a corporation, I'm going to get a group of people to share the same vision as me. I'm going to change the world by changing our reliance on oil, and I am going to make a difference in the world, and I am going to make a lot of money.

Why not?

And so people said, no, that's not possible. And he held on to that vision. And now Motor Trend magazine never rated a car close to 100. They rated the Tesla car 103. It's the best car on the road, and it relies on no gas at all. That's a vision of the future.

I got run over by a truck, and, and, and I broke 6 vertebrae in my spine, and, and I had to make a decision at that time in my life. Because the diagnosis wasn't very good and neither was the prognosis. And I had to decide if I was going to spend the rest of my life on addictive medications and with surgical rods in my spine, or if I was going to see if the mind could actually heal the body. And so that was my wake-up call in 1986. And so, so I just, um, I was at the point where I just had to make a decision to see if it was actually the truth. If, if all of this that I learned was the truth, let's, let's apply it. And so I was lucky enough to have dramatic change in my own personal health. And then I thought, God, if it worked on me, has it worked on other people? So I started looking into people that had been treating conventionally or non-conventionally and with a certain diagnosis, and their condition was staying the same, getting worse, and all of a sudden it got better. And I just wanted to look at what the cause was that was producing that effect. And so I interviewed hundreds and hundreds of people that had gone through the process. And one of the most fundamental elements that they all had in common were there were a lot of things that had to do with their mind. And some people had specific diets and specific regimes. Some people use certain conventional, non-conventional protocols. But the commonality primarily was about how the mind was really influencing the body. And they began to really take a closer look at how they were thinking on a daily basis, how they were acting. On a regular basis and looking at how they feel on a moment-to-moment basis. And how you think and how you act and how you feel is your personality. And your personality has a very direct relationship with your personal reality, which means if you want to change your personal reality, if you want to change something about your life, you got to change. And so the process of change then becomes the fundamental process of going from some person that's familiar and known to you and stepping out and beginning to make different choices and to begin thinking different— thinking differently and being to behave differently and speak differently and feel differently. And, and if you start thinking, acting, and feeling differently, our research shows without a doubt you're going to have dramatic changes in your biology. And if you do it enough times, you're going to become someone else. And the disease then all of a sudden exists in the old personality and not in the new personality. And then you ask the person, where's the cancer? Where's the rheumatoid arthritis, where's the immune-mediated condition? It's in the old person. I'm not that person any longer.

The new model of reality is about causing an effect. That means then you have to feel gratitude every day for your new experience to occur. You can't wait for your success to feel empowered. You have to be empowered to create the success. And when you teach people how to do this and they move into a new state of being, they begin to create the life that they want. How many people are still with me? But to the materialist, they would say, well, no, no, no, no, I'm gonna wait for my money to come and then I'm gonna give thanks. And those people pretty much are living by the emotions of the past. And if you're living by the emotions of the past, you are viewing your future through the lens of the past, and your vision will fade. Because when you bring up an elevated emotion, you will see the vision clearly. And leaders in history that changed the world knew how to change a culture. Look at Martin Luther King. He talked talked about justice and then got enough people inspired that they felt empowered enough to do something about it. People came out of their resting state. And so then, you share the same brain as Martin Luther King, and being defined by a vision of the future begins to change a culture. But most people have the same thoughts or the same intentions, and they live by the same familiar emotions. And for the most part, they're in their past.

How does the person become the person they are? And why do they keep their health condition the same? And well, most people, your brain is a record of the past. It's an artifact of everything you've learned and experienced to this moment. So most people wake up in the morning. If you think that your thoughts have something to do with your destiny, they start thinking about their problems and those problems are just memories that are etched in their brain that are connected to certain people and objects and certain things at certain times and places. And the moment they start thinking about their problems, they're thinking in the past. Now, because every one of those problems has an emotion associated with them, the moment they start feeling unhappy or feeling sad, now their body's in the past because thoughts are the language of the brain and feelings are the language of the body and how we think and how we feel creates our state of being. Now, the problem is, is that the person thinks of the problem, feels the emotion, and that is a thought and feeling. That's an image and an emotion. It's a stimulus and response, and that starts the conditioning process to get the body emotionally conditioned into the past. Now, here's the crazy part about it. Yes, the familiar past emotionally is producing dramatic effects on the body because the body is so objective that it does not know the difference between the real-life experience that's creating that emotion and the emotion that person is fabricating by thought or memory alone. The body's believing it's living in the same past experience, you know, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. And the problem with that is, is that the environment signals the gene. That's epigenetics. And the end product of an experience in the environment is an emotion. So the person is keeping the same gene regulated because the body's believing it's living in the same environmental condition. So getting that person to step outside of that familiar known territory into the unknown where there is uncertainty and have them be comfortable there and begin to think about how they are going to think.

If you are not defined by some vision that is bigger than you and you are not passionate about that vision, then you're left with the old old hardware of the past in your brain, and you will be predictable in your life. So would you agree then? New thoughts, new information should lead to new choices. New choices should lead to new behaviors. And new behaviors should create new experiences. And new experiences should produce new emotions, and those new emotions should drive new thoughts, and that's called evolution. So if your brain is a record of the past and you don't have a vision of the future, then you are living in the past, and you will never arrive at that new future.

When we become the living example of truth when we actually embody this, that there are no limits to what we can do. And I'm hopeful with human beings that we have this capacity. And of course, when we believe in ourselves, we believe in possibility. And when we believe in possibilities, we believe in ourselves. And I think that is the ultimate belief.

Feelings and emotions are the end product of past experiences. And you can remember experiences better because you can remember how they feel. And when you're in the midst of an experience, all of your senses plug you into the environment. And as you're gathering all of this vital data from your external world, all that information rushes back to your brain and it causes jungles of neurons to organize organize themselves into networks. The moment those neurons string into place, the brain makes a chemical, and that chemical is called a feeling or an emotion. And once you feel that emotion, you create a long-term memory. Now reason this with me. If feelings and emotions are the end product of past experiences, and you are feeling the same way every single day, doesn't that mean nothing new is happening in your life? And if those feelings and emotions drive certain thoughts, and you can't think greater than how you feel because you had events in your life that have branded you emotionally, and you feel sadness or guilt or shame or unworthiness or insecurity, all of those emotions are created from past experiences. And when you feel those emotions, and those emotions drive certain thoughts, and then those thoughts make certain chemicals for you to feel the same emotion, and then those emotions drive certain thoughts, the repetition of that cycle then conditions the body to memorize that emotional state better than the mind. And now your body literally is in the past, because if you can't think greater than how you feel, then you are thinking in the past. And so most people then men spend the majority of their life talking about why they never arrive at their vision of the future because of some past experience. And so if feelings and emotions are the end product of past experiences, you remember your first kiss, you remember your wedding, you remember the birth of your children, You remember catching a fish off the coast of Manzanillo with your 3 best friends because you caught the fish and it was a new experience and you felt great. And then you went to the casita and you cooked the mahi-mahi and you drank Sauvignon Blanc and the wind was blowing off the sea and the sun was setting and you made a long long-term memory. But you also have memories that are connected to trauma and crisis, to disappointments. And those are the memories that people remember more than anything else. And so if you haven't overcome some emotion that keeps you anchored to the past, then you tell a story about the past. And people say, I am this way because of this experience that happened to me 15 years ago. I am this way because of some event that happened 30 years ago. And from a biological perspective, it means I haven't been able to change in the last 15 or 30 years. Scientific American, a prestigious magazine, says that 50% of what you talk about in your past isn't even the truth. You make it up because you don't have the same brain that you did 15 years ago or 30 years ago. So then, your brain and body are typically in the past because thoughts are the language of the brain and feelings are the language of the body. And how you think and how you feel creates your state of being. So if you think insecure thoughts, in a matter of seconds, you are going to feel insecure. The moment you feel insecure, your brain is monitoring how you're feeling, and you think more insecure thoughts, which then makes you feel more insecure. And the repetition of that cycle conditions the body to become the mind of insecurity. And then the person says, "I am insecure." And whenever you say, "I am anything," you are commanding your mind and body into a destiny. So then, how do people change? They wait for crisis, trauma, disease, diagnosis, loss. Something has to go wrong in their life where they feel so uncomfortable that they finally make up their mind to change. And why is that? Because after the trauma or the crisis, they don't feel like themselves. And the moment they don't feel like themselves, they could actually observe themselves, because they are looking at themselves through the eyes of someone else. But my message is, why wait? You can learn and change in a state of pain and suffering, or you can learn and change in a state of joy and inspiration.

Your body rejects viruses all the time. Of course, it has memorized certain viruses that you've been exposed to. It has memorized certain bacteria that you've been exposed to, and it's beaten those viruses. Not every virus wins in the body. The body has an intelligence, and it's and it has quite a library of memories in the white blood cells. So your body is fighting viruses and bacteria all the time. There's a constant competition going on. [Speaker:DR_POMPA] Really? [Speaker:DR_ZUCKERMAN] So our research shows that 4 days of opening your heart releases immunoglobulin A, your body's primary defense against bacteria and viruses. It's better than the flu shot. It's the body's natural flu shot. And that's the innate intelligence of the body saying, I got this, I got a lot of energy. In fact, I got a surplus of energy. In fact, I'm radiating energy and now— I have too much energy. Well, now my outer world is not controlling my inner world. My inner world now is functioning independent of what's going on in my outer world. And now— You're manifesting. You're manifesting. Now you got it. Now you're in a creative state. People are coming to you, yes. Right, exactly. Now you're a magnet. Now you have a field, right? And you have energy to heal and our research shows that that field around your body will actually expand. You radiate more light and information. Cells are getting new information that are causing light to be exchanged between cells and information. Now the body's getting an upgrade. That immunoglobulin A in 4 days went up 50%. We now know that if it's going up 50%, that then the immune system was getting a new signal. Nitric oxide then causes another chemical to activate the arteries in your heart to swell. And now, just like when energy moves into your sexual organs and it swells with blood and you have energy there, the same intensity, it moves into your heart. And now the heart is activated. And what do you feel? You feel an incredible amount of love. Bulletproof. Love. Yeah, and you feel whole. And now the more whole you feel, our research shows, then the less separate you feel from the things you want in your life because you feel like you already have them. You only want things when you're in lack. But when you feel whole, then it feels like it's already happened. And that tends to be the exact emotion that causes those synchronicities and serendipities and coincidences to happen in our life.

And you say to a person, what are you doing?

And they're saying, I'm not doing anything. I'm just loving life. I'm being myself. Free. I'm free from the past. I'm free from my story of the past. In fact, I'm more connected to the energy of my future than I am to the energy of my past. I think that if we share the same experiences because we like the same things, we share the same emotions. And if we share the same experiences, we share the same emotions, I can relate to you, so we can exchange ideas and information. And if we share the same energy, energy is information. So many people, as an example, they use each other to reaffirm their dependency on suffering. So I suffer more than you, then you say I suffer, you suffer more than me. We have this thing, we just complain with each other. Well, that's the same resonance, the same frequency, and there's a match, right? But goes to the same means if you're someone who's has an accountability partner that you exchange ideas like this with, and it's a different frequency and different energy. So when energy comes together and it's constructive, something comes out of it. You feel it, right? You feel an elevation. 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. So I think that's just a practice. But really, the ultimate mastery is to be able to be in such resonance, such coherence, that when you walk in the room, that you raise everybody's energy and you don't let your energy drop because of any circumstance or any condition. And that would be greater than your environment, right? And that's, that's the model that we use. So imagine 1,500 people. In an event where everybody's getting super coherent and the interference that's going on in the room is creating these high amplitudes. Now we've measured that in the room and the energy in the room is off the chart many times. There's, I mean, there's energy for healing in there. There's energy for all kinds of things that can happen. So we brought it to life with our awareness. And so the more elevated the emotion— love, gratitude, freedom, bliss, ecstasy— the higher the frequency. So, but it turns out you can have collective group of people with a lot of energy and being coherent, and it creates entropy. Yeah. You could have a smaller group of people that are highly coherent and put out a very big signal. So when we see a collective really get coherent, wow, the energy in the room opens up doors of possibilities that I would never expect. I mean, I don't know how to explain some of the phenomenological things that happen. But that's— everybody's divine. Like, everybody's in that state. They're in that elevated state. So I think our truth meter is really whether we feel lifted or we feel like we've been robbed. If you have been experienced, if you had experience of trauma, say, for example, and it's created the feeling of fear and your fear is that it could happen again and you don't know this, but every time you think about that future, that possible worst-case scenario, scenario and you feel the emotion, you're conditioning your body to become the mind, subconsciously, of anxiety. So now all you need now is some cue in your outer environment that says it's unsafe, that if there's damage there, that you're a victim, something's bigger than you that could have an effect on you. Well, now that feeling of fear is going to cause you to think thoughts equal to it. So the person then no longer needs the environment to feel that fear. They just have to have the thought about that condition now. And now they're literally knocking their brain and body out of balance by thought alone. And the body's constantly living in emergency mode. And it takes a lot of energy, a lot of resources to live in emergency mode all the time. And guess what system becomes compromised by it? Your immune system. Why? Because you have two protection systems. You got a system that protects you from dangers in your outer world. That's the gas pedal. That's the sympathetic nervous system. That's the fight or flight nervous system. Danger, threat out there, use all the energy because you got to survive. And when you survive, you got to take care of your body. So now that system can work really well short-term. It doesn't work really well if you keep it on all the time. Because if you're mobilizing all that energy for some threat in your outer world, there's no energy in your inner world. For growth and repair. There's no energy for long-term building projects. And energy leaves the brain and it leaves the heart and it moves into these lower centers because now you're tapping the body's resources because there is an emergency. But whether the emergency is real or imagined, whether your anger is valid or justified or not, that you're tapping the body's very energy to heal by doing this. And the immune system says, well, we're part of really the other nervous system. We're the brake, we're the clutch. We need to get into relaxation. We need to get back into balance again. And when we do, then we'll metabolize, then we'll assimilate, we'll reproduce, we'll excrete properly. So now you got this kind of battle between the gas pedal and the brake, and the immune system says, hey, listen, if there's foreign agents, if there's viruses, bacteria, molds, funguses, listen, we don't have a whole lot of energy here to deal with them because we're fighting this war out there. There's no homeland security. So they shut down certain receptors in the immune system. They shut down function of those lymphocytes, those white blood cells that are your inner army of protection. And it takes a lot of energy to fight a virus and a bacteria, but if there's no energy— Hey, listen, it takes energy to raise the body's temperature. Where do you think that comes from? That's part of that branch called the autonomic nervous system and the sympathetic, the gas pedal is part of it and the parasympathetic is the clutch is part of that autonomic nervous system and it's a check and balance. But so you stay in emergency for an extended period of time and now you're exposed to some antigen or some external substance, some foreign agent. In our community, at least, people who have relationships that are built from our community tend to be more long-lasting because they're more self-aware. Yeah. And so there's no blame. There's no excuses, there's no make wrong, there's no competition, there's none of that. There's just, this is who I am, you know? And I think that the ultimate goal is when you reach the point in your life when how you appear to the world is who you really are, that level of transparency is, it takes no effort. You can be yourself and, you know, people say to me, wow, you're pretty approachable. And I say, well, God, I work so hard every day. Overcoming myself in the morning, overcoming my ego. Why would I want to build it up the next day? Because I got to face that guy again tomorrow morning. So why not just keep, you know, you know, taking those edges and smoothing them down so that, so that you're, you're less unconscious to all of those programs that are built in relationships. When you hit pay dirt like that, when you connect, when you connect to the field, when you connect to the divine, whatever you want to call it, when your consciousness merges with a greater consciousness and that arousal creates ecstasy bliss, oneness, whatever you want to call that, you realize that it never came from anything out there. It didn't come from the wardrobe or the facelift, the sports car, whatever. It came from within you. And so you stop looking out there for it. And now the love affair begins and you never want to miss a date because it's just too good. So that memory then, that is what I'm after. Because when you have those transcendental moments and you understand this, The experience of that transcendental moment lays down new circuitry in the brain. That's what experience does. And the experience produces a feeling, but it's not chemical. It's electric and it's orderly and every cell of your body is jiggling in an order. And you're aroused and you're awakened, right? You have to admit when that occurs, your spectrum of reality is going to broaden. Some conditioning, some illusion, something is removed removed, and you start seeing reality as it is. And all of a sudden, you start seeing the part that we edit out for survival. Now you start seeing patterns and lights and information that are transcendent of three-dimensional reality in your spectrum. Why? Because your brain had the experience and the circuitry's there, and now your, your experience of the world changes. You get an upgrade to the, to the VR set, to the virtual reality set. Oh, you got the upgrade, you got 2.0, and now it looks different. Everything looks different. Everybody looks different. The world— look, you're seeing beauty more. Well, and there's more holism and more connection, and sounds and words and music and sense and sight and light is all working together. I mean, that's the blessing of an awakening, right? That's where— that's where we're going. Here's the deal with trauma, and it's kind of an interesting thing, because when you're traumatized, some threat or some danger or some condition in your outer world through your senses is changing how you feel in your inner world. And the quotient of change between the way you normally feel in some alarm state, when you change your internal state and move into that emergency mode, you narrow your focus on the cause and the brain freezes an image and takes a snapshot. And that's called the long-term memory. And now that image is branded holographically into the brain. So then And they remember, we remember experiences better because we can remember how they feel. And that memory then changes the person's biology. So they think neurologically within the circuits of that experience, and they feel chemically within the boundaries of those emotions, and how we think and feel becomes our state of being. So now the person biologically has changed, and many times it's the strong emotion that begins to select and instruct the gene that creates disease. Why? Because if the environment signals the gene, and that's the truth, that's epigenetics, and the end product of an experience in the environment is an emotion, the emotion that you feel from that event is literally selecting the gene for you to begin to change. And genes make proteins. And so the person, if it's strong enough, begins to wear their trauma, not just in their brain, now it's in their body, because every time they think about that trauma, every time they review it, every time They keep creating the imagery, they keep firing and wiring the circuits in their brain, and they keep feeling the feeling emotionally in their body. And their body is so objective that it's believing it's living in the same past experience 50 to 100 times a day. And all you need is a stimulus and response, an image and an emotion, a thought and a feeling, and you're conditioning the body into the past. Well, you're conditioning the brain and body into the past. The recognition that when you're assimilating a negative thought or a negative judgment or a negative emotion— envy, greed, whatever it may be— that's actually lowering your energy. Yeah. And when you get to that place where you're experiencing that incredible bliss right here, you can't— you can't— yeah. And even if you have the thought, and the thought will still come because we still have those thoughts, but the thought will be an understanding of human nature because you're no longer at that vibrational level any longer. You're rising above it, you know? And I think more and more people are starting to figure that out. And the people in their lives are like, no, my husband, my husband is a changed person. No, he's not the same guy. I know him. I know he's completely different. And the guy's just like, yeah, I feel amazing. I feel great. And all it was was sitting in the fire. Yes. For a little bit of time until the body finally moved out of the past into the present moment. And so the causes of this, like I always say, you never know what you're doing today and how you're doing it, who you're going to affect tomorrow when you do this work. And that's what we're seeing, that people are— they're, they're, they're getting promotions, uh, they're getting all these wonderful things not because of anything that they're doing. They're just different. Yeah. And people notice that, and they want those people in the position to make better decisions for the whole. And I think that's how we change the world. Bond University, a university in Australia on the Gold Coast, a senior researcher took a large majority of my brain scans and they had— she had them analyzed by her graduate students and they statistically looked at everything. One of the most startling things for the research team was our community's ability ability to get to that point where they're nobody, no one, no thing, nowhere, no time. Now I'm talking 4 seconds. I'm talking 5 seconds. I'm talking 9 seconds. Just like, just give me a second, I know how to do this. They've practiced it enough times that the creative moment is when you get beyond yourself, when you dissociate from everything known in your material world. Turns out when you do that and you start changing your brainwaves, waves slow down into alpha and theta, you're suppressing the memory bank of the known self that keeps you plugged into three-dimensional reality. When you quiet down this mechanism, now all of a sudden you start connecting to that field. And when you can stay conscious in those subconscious realms, when you can literally regulate and change brainwaves, now you're in the operating system where you can make those significant they can change this. I believe in free will. I would never tell anybody what to believe, like politically or socially or whatever. Yeah, I, I want to provide them the tools and give them the free will to create life however they want and believe whatever they want. That's totally cool with me. So those people then that want to be healed and they live in fear, that fear has to be addressed. I mean, and it's not easy because it's, it's hardwired deep in the limbic brain. It's just a safety net. It's a mechanism. So then imagine being in the unknown. The instinct in the unknown is it's a scary place. Wow. Imagine not having a body. 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, you're going to be comfortable in the unknown. You're going to relax more into it. That's going against thousands of years of programming. And the people who actually overcome their fear and they trade it for gratitude, their immune system gets stronger, their genes upregulate. I mean, there's just a host of— everything changes. Their brain changes, their heart rate variability. They feel differently. And it's beautiful. Being measured. And some of these people— we're measuring this now in our events with reputable scientists and universities. They're shocked at what they're witnessing on a cellular level, on a brain level, on a heart level. They cannot believe the capacity of the body. I just got an email today of one of our scientists said, I ran this 3 times. The virus that we exposed the cell to in advanced meditators does not enter the cell. It's outside the cell. It won't— a virus in novice meditators, some of it's in the cell, some of it's outside, controls all the viruses in the cell. There's an immunity. So when the person's less reactionary to their environment, there's less of a response. That weakens them, they're less of a victim to their environment, then they're less of a victim to their environment. Large-scale, small-scale, the body has a greater immunity to whatever it is. You asked if is it possible then that people can heal that quickly in one week? Yeah, because what if they create an inner event that carries an amplitude of gratitude or joy or freedom, breakthrough from the chains of the past, And when the body is liberated and you feel that elevated emotion, the stronger the emotion you feel from that breakthrough, the more you're going to pay attention to the image in your mind. And now you're now beginning to brand new circuitry in the brain, and your body's being conditioned into a new future. And the stronger the emotion you feel and the more you pay attention to the picture, the more you're conditioning the body over time to the future instead of the past. So now you keep knocking on that genetic door emotionally. Then that emotion ultimately signals a new gene that upregulates that gene to produce better proteins. And the person then all of a sudden starts healing. And we have research to show that people can do that in 4 days, signal genes to reduce cancer cells and to signal stem cells to suppress, to go to active tissues and repair them and regenerate them and suppress inflammation. You come with a lot of genes and they're just a lot library of potentials. They're just a storehouse of information of possibilities. So then you got to get the right signal, the right lock into the key that begins to select and instruct genes that cause genes to make different proteins. And you can regulate so many different genes, the same genes, you can regulate them differently. So when they upregulate, they start producing really healthy and robust proteins. And that's enzymes, that's tissue, that's structure, that's function, that's hormones. It's immune immunoglobulins. When they downregulate because of some alarm, when there's not a lot of energy for long-term building projects, well, then you keep doing that, then the body starts producing cheaper proteins. It's a different signal. It's not a time for growth. Why is our memory for pain stronger than our memory of a success or a joy? I really think that when the survival gene is activated, preservation Attention is the key. So we can have 10 things that happen really great in our lives. You have a family member or somebody you know that does this. They have 10 really great things happen in their life, one thing bad, and they focus on that bad thing. Why? Because the survival gene is activated. They want to make sure it doesn't happen again. So you put your attention on it because you don't want it to happen again. So what people do when they're aroused is they start thinking it's going to happen. They actually select the worst-case scenario in their mind and then emotionally embrace that future before it happens. And they're conditioning their body to become the mind of anxiety and fear. So in preservation and in survival, if you prepare for the worst, anything less that happens, you have a better chance of surviving. So that's the mechanism that takes place. So survival means you better take care of your body. Yeah. You better be aware of your environment and make sure there's no threats. And so you got to keep your eye out there. And you better be thinking about the future based on what you learned in the past. Now, there's nothing wrong with that when the analytical facilities are in balance. But when there's an arousal— arousal, there's 3 things that create arousal: fear, hostility and anger or aggression, and pain. And that arousal drives the brain into these high states of what we call high beta. And most people need something or someone or some circumstance or some drug or some pill or some computer game to change that internal state. And the moment they notice a change in their internal state, then they pay attention to what's causing it and they start developing a dependency on it, right? So it turns out that when we teach people how to self-regulate and change their brainwaves, we could actually see then that the incoherence, the 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 one thing, to one place, to another problem, to another circumstance, to your phone, to your car. And each one of those elements has a neurological network in the brain. So the arousal causes these different circuits to fire out of order and the brain is incoherent. So take two waves that are out of phase and mix them. When they interfere, they flatten out. There's no energy. So energy leaves the brain, right? So then when you're in arousal, you narrow your focus on the cause. If there is something rattling in the bushes and it's dark, you freeze. And you narrow your focus on it and there's a rush of adrenaline and your pupils dilate and your heart starts to race and you're ready to run, fight, or hide. I mean, that's a survival moment. But what if it's your coworker sitting right next to you or 6 feet away and you're judging them? The same arousal's taking place. And what's once very adaptive becomes very maladaptive. And this is where it gets challenging. So when we teach people how to open their focus, we've done thousands and thousands of brain scans. And they get beyond their analytical processes and they open their awareness and go from a convergent focus to a divergent focus, and they learn how to relax and regulate, their brainwaves start to slow down into alpha. And then if they do it properly and they're connecting, those different compartments of the brain that were once firing out of order start to unify. Different communities form bigger communities. The brain starts to synchronize. And then all of a sudden you start seeing different compartments of the brain all in resonance. So now when they're all in resonance and they start interfering, when those waves come together, there's more energy in the brain. So when a person dials down the mechanism, this 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. When we start deactivating the mechanism here and we get beyond the memory bank of the known self and brainwaves move into theta, we've studied this so much. When a person can let their body be in a light state of sleep and feel so safe that you can finally let go and surrender. The body is sleeping, but the mind is awake. And now the door between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind is wide open. And if they can regulate and stay there, something amazing happens. There is a release of energy from the body and their brain goes into a very, very super coherent state of gamma. Gamma is super consciousness. Now, I'm not talking about a little gamma. I'm not talking about a lot of gamma. I'm not talking about a really lot of gamma. I'm talking about a supernatural amount of gamma. There's so much order and so much energy in the brain. Like if we were in an audience and we were all clapping like this, That could be alpha, right? Theta would be— and if everybody could do this, the slower we could do it, the more we can get our timing down, the more we can get coherent. But if we were doing this, it would be really hard for all of us to do that at the same time. So it takes a lot of order, a lot of awareness, a lot of energy to be able to create that kind of order. So that's how fast the brain is in that arousal. That's taking place is ecstasy. That arousal is bliss. It is the most familiar, unfamiliar feeling that people ever have. And that memory then that the person has that is so profoundly different than the feeling of success, the feeling of wealth, the feeling of orgasm or love or whatever. This is a new one and it's a thrill. And the person notices a dramatic change in their inner state. And with that experience comes a very lucid picture, a very profound insight, a download of information. That's the moment then the body many times rewrites the biological program. Energy is informing matter and the autonomic nervous system is regulating. It's in high order. And remember, disease is autonomic dysregulation. Now it's getting into a very, very high frequency of order, and it's sending very coherent information to the cells and tissues, sending energy to the cells and tissues, and cells begin to emit more coherent light and information. And then there's the disease, and there it's not.
