You Need to Learn HOW to Get BEYOND Yourself! | Dr. Joe Dispenza

I think that in order for us to truly change, we have to get beyond ourselves, and that is one of the arts of transformation. And when the moment we are completely in the present moment, we cannot be running a program. It turns out coincidentally, when we're truly in the present moment, all possibilities in the quantum field exist in the eternal now. So when we're truly present and we take our attention off our body, that's the moment we become pure consciousness. And where we place our attention is where we place our energy. So then the moment become nobody, that's the moment we get beyond ourselves. It is that act of being in the present moment that allows us to see new possibilities that we could never see from the place where we are stuck in our own programs and personality. The act of doing that is a skill, and it requires feedback. Feedback happens in a couple ways. One way you get feedback is to begin to measure the changes you see in your life. This process, if it was easy, everybody would be doing it. And yet we are piercing a veil where people are waking up and they're beginning to take their power back. We already in We innately know how to do this. All we have to do is keep practicing until we start seeing those wonderful, wonderful feedback mechanisms happening in our life. The moment you start seeing those changes taking place in your life, you are going to pay attention to what you did to cause it. The moment you pay attention to the cause of that action, you're no longer thinking that it's something out there that did it. You're beginning to realize it's what you did inside of you to produce it. That's when we begin to take our power back.

The key to enjoying your life is being present. The key to focusing is being present. The key to feeling like you're valuable and what you do matters is being present. Being present is at the core to a lot of great things, but a lot of people really struggle to stay present because what are you doing? Most people spend most of their time either thinking about the past or thinking about the future. And not even in a positive way. You spend time thinking about the past, living in regret of all the things that you could have done, you could have said, you should have done, you should have said. I wish I did that. I wish that video I made didn't suck. You know, I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish. Why didn't I? And we beat ourselves up. Does that sound familiar? Is that you? Maybe even a little, a little bit. Or we spend our time being anxious about the future. I think as entrepreneurs, we get excited about the future, where we could go and what we could build, and that's That's the fun daydreaming part. But a lot of thinking about the future is stress-inducing. It's anxiety. It's, it's worrying about what could go wrong. All the millions of things that could go wrong that maybe never go wrong, but we're still worried about them, right? Again, does that sound somewhat familiar? When you are stuck living in the past or living in the future, you're never obviously present. But you're not happy, you're not productive, you're not focused, you're not creating, you're not serving— none of it— and you're not fulfilled. I look at people who want to get started on YouTube, for example, or entrepreneurs are trying to launch their business, and people made maybe one video or two videos, and because it didn't work out, or you made a video and you felt embarrassed by yourself, or you launched a product and somebody had one bad piece of feedback, you're reliving that same negativity over and over and over and over and over again. People ask me, well, what happens when you have a bad video? What happens when your video bombs? I was speaking at Brendan Burchard's Influencer Summit yesterday, and somebody asked me, well, what do you do when a video doesn't take off or do well? Like, well, lots of my videos don't take off and do well. I think— I don't know which ones are going to blow up. The ones that have blown up surprise me. Like, that's the one that blew up? I love this one so much more. How do I keep going? Because I'm looking to the next one. Like, I'm worried. I'm working on videos now. I don't know what I released yesterday or the day before or the day before because I'm making new content. Think about how you got over a relationship. Well, you— when you get into a new relationship, it's easy to forget about your last relationship. It's thinking about what you're doing now. And if you have nothing right now, what do you do? If there's nothing to do right now, you spend your time in regret about the past or worried about the future. It's not enough action happening right now. I don't care about videos that failed in the past because I'm going to be making tons more. Another one comes out today and another one tomorrow, another one tomorrow, and it's, it's a moment to reflect and say, hey, okay, I could have done better on that one, or why didn't this one do well? Okay, this moment here, that sucked. Perfect. I'm making one today, I'll make it better. At least that's the intent. Maybe I don't achieve it, but that's the intent. And if you show up with that intent every day, you will eventually make it better. Most people get too caught up on, on the mistakes that they made in the past. It's in the past. You did the best you could with what you've got. Remind yourself of that. You did the best you could with what you had. Great. Don't be so hard on yourself. Keep making because the worst thing you can do is quit now. The worst thing you can do is stop now, because when you look back on your life, when you're 120, that you'll regret that you, you stopped. You regret that you had a chance, you had a moment, you could have done something and you didn't. Like, that's the biggest regret of all, not taking any kind of action, not the mistakes that you made. We don't regret really the things that we did. Most of the things that people regret are the things they did not do. Most people's biggest regrets are not taking enough action, letting that little man voice inside their head tell them all the reasons why they weren't going to win, convincing themselves that they weren't capable. And as a result, they stopped when they wish they had the courage, the strength, the tenacity to keep going, right? That could be you. You could, you could, you could get going. You keep going. You could stay present, you could make the next thing. And at the same time, a lot of people are then also worried about the future. Well, what if I make this and it doesn't work out? I was talking to people again yesterday about their YouTube channels, and the same person asked me, well, what if it doesn't work out? Like, what if I make videos and nobody sees them? So what if nobody sees my videos? And then the next question was, what if 'People see my videos and they don't like me.' So this person at the same time is afraid of people not seeing their videos and people seeing their videos. So how does that make any sense, right? This is, this is the loop that we get stuck in. You're afraid of people not seeing you and you're afraid of people seeing you. Then you, like, you can't win the mental dialogue we have with ourselves. We can't win. It's not possible. We need to start to flip that. We need to, we need to rewire ourselves. And that starts again with being present. Like, you can't control what the outcome is going to be in the future, but you can control what you're doing right now. If you can switch so that you are mostly present, not really thinking about the past unless it's gratitude, right? If you can flip the regret of the past to gratitude, right? And if you can switch the anxiety for the future to excitement or vision, that's when you really start to win. Somebody came to an event that I did in Toronto and asked me— these guys drove up from Boston to do a podcast with me and then stuck around for my event. And they asked me, how much of your time do you spend percentage-wise living in the past, present, future. And I said 0% past, 85% present, 15% future. And the 15% is, is vision, what I want to create. You know, as entrepreneurs, we have to be a little bit forward thinking, but it's, it's 85% present. I don't even know what day it is. Like, it's present, not even present to today, but present to this moment. I don't know what day it is. I don't know what time it is. I don't know what I'm doing after this. All I know is I'm here right now with you guys. And that allows for focus, that allows for happiness, that allows for purpose, that allows for life to give you so many gifts when you're not stuck living in the past or the future. So how do you do it? How do you, how do you get there? I think the best thing you can do is every time you catch yourself drifting, daydreaming forward or back in a negative way, you catch it. Every time you can catch it. You won't catch it most of the time, so don't put this impossibly high burden on yourself that every time I'm, I'm thinking about the past and I'm living in regret, I'm gonna catch it and do something about it. You won't catch it. You won't catch it. This is, this is decades of unwiring our brain, right? It's fine. Don't, don't have— when you're starting something new, don't have crazy expectations that you have to get it perfect or you're a failure, right? This is the problem, not just with this one exercise, but with everything. Don't expect to be great out of the gate. You won't. You're just starting. You're at the beginning. Why do you think you're going to be fantastic? And because the first time it doesn't work out perfectly, then we quit. That is not how it works. Right? You need to expect to suck at the beginning. That's okay. That's how you learn something. Every time you can catch yourself drifting, you're living in the past and in regret or future, being stressed out. Just try to bring it back to right now. Just bring it back to the present and focus on anything. Focus on a physical object. You can— I could focus on my coffee. Like, how can you get present right now? Focus on the coffee. Wow, look at this coffee cup. You know, it's tall, it's red. I'm grateful for the beverage inside here. I like that they have the sleeve. Oh, it's got a maple leaf on it, right? Like, this is all— I'm being present right now with the cup of coffee. It is warm. I can feel the sensation on my hands. I can taste it in my mouth, right? Where most of the time, even when you're eating something, Most of the time when you're eating something, you're usually focused on something else, right? You're eating while you're on your phone, you're eating while you're watching a video, you're eating while you're doing something else and not ever actually enjoying the food because we're thinking about what's next. So every time you can catch it, you just try to bring it back to the moment, to right now. And then what's going to happen is the more you do that, the more you'll catch it. So right now, maybe you catch it 1% of the time. But the more you do that and practice that and just pick one thing to focus on that's in your environment or focus on your breath, right? It's why meditation works so well with a mantra or breathwork, because it gives you something to focus on. When you're first starting out with being present and focused, it's helpful to have somewhere to put your attention because focus on nothing doesn't feel like very practical advice to the beginner trying to figure this out. So you focus on your breath. And anytime your mind wanders, bring it back to the breath. Every time you get stressed or anxious or worried or what you're going to do next, bring it back to the breath. Every time you get bored, bring it back to the breath. Right? The breath could be anything. The breath could be the cup of coffee. Look at the cup of coffee. Feel the cup of coffee. Every time you get distracted, you're worrying about work or your life, back to the cup of coffee, back to your mantra. Right? All of that can work. It's just picking something. To, to ground you back in being in the present. And again, the more you catch it and the more you do it, the more you'll catch the next one, and the more you're doing it again the next time. It's a skill that you learn. You're retraining your brain how to work. And what you'll find is the more you can do that and the more you practice it, bit by bit, day by day, You'll find yourself having less stress, being more productive, staying more focused, caring less about what other people think about you, and overall being happier. And what that does is free you up to actually go and do the work that's inside you, the genius that you've got to put out to the world. And serve. Being present is the key to unlocking your happy life. Less time living in regret about the past, less time living in the stress of the future and anxiety for what may come, and more time focused on what can you do right now, today, in this moment to be proud of yourself and live your best life.

When things are bad, you feel bad. So there's dramatic contrast and polarity, and this is the realm of polarity, right? So how do you find the middle path? Well, the heart is the middle path. It's a union of polarity. It's a union of opposites. It's, it's oneness. It's wholeness. And this is where we have to begin to create from. All of this down here is all human humanity. This is all our animal nature. We get up in here, things change, right? You go from selfish to selfless. If something else happens— so it's really funny too, because when a lot of people come, they say, I, I don't know, I'm having difficulty opening my heart. I'm, you know, I'm practicing, but I'm not feeling anything yet. And, and then it comes time to do our healings on other people, and the moment you— it was no longer about you, all of a sudden something happened. Well, of course, that's what the heart is about, right? So, so it comes in ways that, uh, we least expect at times. A habit is a redundant set of automatic, unconscious thoughts, behaviors, and emotions that's acquired through repetition. A habit is when you've done something so many times that the body now knows how to do it better than the mind. So now the person running through the same routine every single day is on autopilot, and their body's now dragging them into a predictable future based on what they did in the past, and they've lost their free will. To a set of programs, right? So now you have the familiar past and you have the predictable future. Those are knowns. So the only place then reasonably where the unknown exists is the sweet spot of the generous present moment. That is when the body and mind are free from those conditions. So along with those emotions that influence the same thoughts, people start becoming more judgmental. They start becoming more impatient. They start becoming more entitled. They start getting more afraid, more anxious, more And now the body is literally being depleted of energy because it's believing that it's living in an emergency situation. And in emergency, you tap all of the body's resources for some threat, whether it's real or imagined. And so then when you're releasing all of these chemicals, we are literally drawing the body's life force and turning it into chemistry. And so for the short term, that's cool. But the arousal that's created from those stress hormones is a rush of energy. And so then people use the problems and the conditions in their life to reaffirm their conditioning or their addiction to that emotion. And in a sense, they become addicted to the life they don't even like. And this is why change is so hard. So then when a person makes up their mind to change and they say, okay, I'm not going to say I can't, I'm not going to judge another person, I'm not going to blame, I'm not going to I'm not going to make excuses. I'm not going to be a victim. I'm not going to talk trash about anybody. I'm just going to stop. Well, that works out really well for the first couple hours. Then the body's saying, you're out of schedule. You normally at 8 in the morning, you're getting traffic and you're angry. Then at 11 o'clock, you check your emails and you're really judgmental and frustrated. The body's saying, well, you've been doing this for the last 20 years. You're just going to stop today. So now the body, which has been conditioned emotionally to be the mind, wants to return back to its familiar territory, to the known. So the body starts influencing the mind and it says, you know, come on, this is a good time to judge that. Come on, this is a good time to suffer. It's your ex's fault. It's the government's fault. It's, you know, it's the weather or the news, whatever it is. And if we accept, believe, and surrender to that thought without analyzing it, It slips by and it begins to program the autonomic nervous system to make those pharmacy of chemicals. And so that's when the person makes the same choice, does the same thing, creates the same experience just for that familiar feeling. Okay, I'll complain just so I can feel suffering. Then they'd rather be unhappy than step into the unknown. Well, look, I mean, I think that emotions are energy in motion. And so let's just say that that, um, we share the same experiences. Okay, I don't— we're friends and we share the same experience. You're from London, I've been to London, my daughter lives in London, and we have— hey, you do this, I do that, you did that, you know, you own this, I own that, you know. So what we do is we actually look to see when we meet people if we're matching neurologically, if we're matching emotionally. So if we share the same experiences, we share the same emotions, and if we share the same emotions, we can relate to one another. So this is where it gets sticky. So then the moment you start saying Ah, that person did that to you once. Yeah, that person, I had a similar experience. That person did that to me. Now, now we open the door like, I'm gonna use you to reaffirm my attachment to that emotion, and let's just work it up so that you can suffer and I can suffer, and then we can have a conversation. And literally, we're sharing the same energy. And if we're sharing the same energy, we're sharing the same information, and we're bound by an invisible field of energy that keeps us connected. Yes. So then what does it take to break that energetic field? An energy that's greater than the energy that's holding it together. That's how you separate atoms that become a molecule. You— they're, they're bound by an invisible field of energy that's keeping them connected. So you got to use a greater energy than the energy that's holding them together to separate them. Well, in order for you to change, then you can't have energy without awareness or consciousness. You got to go to a greater level of consciousness and change your energy. And nobody changes, Jay, until they change their energy. And when they change their energy, they change their life. So then you may say, well, this person, you know, I use this person and I use my enemy to reaffirm my addiction to hatred. I use my coworker to reaffirm my addiction to judgment. I use my ex to reaffirm my addiction to resentment, that we have these different people in our lives that we need to remind us of who we think we are. The enemy dies and you find another one. You know, you know, your coworker leaves and you start judging another one. It's just, it's not any, it's not that. So then when there's no longer a vibrational match, when you start doing the work, there's no longer a vibrational match with you and your past-present reality, that, that person or that condition any longer. That person or condition is going to spiral away because you're no longer, you're no longer in need of that. So then our life begins to change when we change our energy, and, and we begin to take our power back. That's essential potential for us to begin to create with. Now, some people can't handle that because they're not conscious that they're doing it. So they'll be working on their vision of the future, and yet they'll spend 2 hours lowering their energy back into victimization or suffering, and they want to know why their future isn't happening. Well, there's an unconscious program. Let's go after that. And once you start going after that, now all of a sudden your life starts to change again. So you can't say it doesn't work. Work. On some level, we don't work. And if you're really invested in this, the question is, what is it about me? Where am I directing my attention or my energy? Who am I using to reaffirm some conditioning that I need to remember who— as my old self? So then when you stop reacting to the person, or the person's now complaining to you and you're not complaining back, it's going to be an uncomfortable moment because you're all of a sudden seeing a part of you you used to be that you no longer are, and you have to be willing to not go there. And over time, that person will thank you and they'll say, I didn't even know that I was complaining that much. And by changing yourself, you help others stay conscious and not go unconscious. And it turns out that 95% of the time we're unconscious. So if you're going to stay conscious, then there's an element that also requires a certain amount of awareness or energy. And you got to step outside of that unconscious state. So the thoughts that they're thinking are slipping by their awareness unnoticed because they're hardwired in their brain because they've been saying, "I can't, it's too hard, my life will never change, it's someone else's fault." Those thoughts have consequences in the body. So then if a person then becomes conscious of those unconscious thoughts, becomes aware of how they speak and how they act, and they notice how they're feeling. They're no longer the program. They're the consciousness outside the program. And that's the first step to change. So there are— when you're distracted by your environment and you got your cell phone and you're tweeting and you're Instagramming and Facebooking, whatever people do, you're distracted by that feeling. But I now know that if you take a person and you say, okay, close your eyes, sit sit in the, in the silence of any external stimulation. Remove the environment. Sit your body down like an animal. Body is the animal. Tell it to stay. I'm going to feed you. You can check your cell phone. You can shower. You can have your coffee. But when I say— and so then here comes the challenge, right? So, and, and then if you say, then you're not going to live in the familiar future, a familiar past, or predictable future. You're not going to think about how long you've been meditating, what you got to do. You, you labor for that present moment. People think when they do this that they're doing something wrong because there's such discomfort that comes with it, but they're in the unknown. They're actually doing it right. People say, "I think I'm meditating wrong." I always say, "Oh, no, no, no, you're doing it right." Because when you notice that your body wants to get up and check your cell phone or have a cup of coffee and you become aware that it's on autopilot and wants to do that, and you say, "Uh-uh, come on over here." and you return it back to the present moment, you're executing a will now that's greater than the program. And if the person wants to just get angry while they're sitting there, there's an arousal and they notice the body is amping up and revving up and they settle it back down. Now they're telling the body it's no longer the mind, that they're the mind. Now we've researched this and it's tedious. In the beginning at first, because David is fighting Goliath. But if you keep practicing it, just like training an animal, sooner or later the body acquiesces. Sooner or later, the body is trained to a new mind. And when that happens, there's a liberation of energy. The body goes from particle to wave, from matter to energy. And there goes that emotion, literally liberated from the body as energy. So the person who has the strong emotion to some circumstance in their life, and they're working on lowering the volume of that emotion. The more they lower the volume of that emotion, the more they're going to take their attention off that person and problem, and they're going to take their power back. There's going to be a break in their attention from that circumstance. And now they build their own field. And now there's energy to heal. Now there's energy to create a new life. Now there's energy for the mystical moment because they've overcome their old personality self. So I think, you know, it's not like thinking positively. That's not the message. It's overcoming, overcoming, overcoming, overcoming until we become somebody else. And when that occurs and the person starts thinking differently and they start acting differently and they start feeling differently, they're a new personality. And they start seeing those synchronicities and serendipities. How bad does it have to get? I mean, to what denominator, to what lowest level do you have to reach before people really make up their mind to change? My message is, why wait? I mean, when you're feeling so altered emotionally, you feel so bad, that's the moment you could actually see yourself for the first time because you're not answering your cell phone, you're not responding to all your texts, you're not watching TV, you're not going out to dinners, you're not calling people back. You're— something's altered in you and you're starting to become self-aware, right? So then people wait to that lowest moment where they can start to see themselves through the eyes of somebody else. Well, if you're waking up every day and you're combining a clear intention with an elevated emotion and you're changing your emotional state to be elevated, you could still see the old self from an elevated point of view and be state conscious than from a limited point of view. And that's what I want for people. Like, let's go. I mean, what do you got to lose? What what people are going to start wondering, like, did you change your medication? What's up with that guy? Something's different about him. You're not predictable any longer, right? And we say to our, our community, you know, when you're changing, you just stop talking about it. You're just too busy being it. Something's happening, you know. And that's the repetition of getting a few days in a row of that really well. I always say, God, if you had a great meditation, you wake up feeling better at the end of that meditation than when you started, and you do that the next day, and then the next day, you're going to start feeling better all the time. And that your body's going to start feeling better, and everything's going to start feeling better, and you're going to start feeling better about life. So you ask a person, why are you so unhappy? Why are you so frustrated? Why are you so resentful? The moment you ask that, their brain is going to associate that emotion to a past event, to a memory, into a memory. Yeah. That's because they have nothing to look forward to in their future. So if you're not being defined by a vision of the future, it just means to me that you're more in love with your past than you are with the future. So how do you teach people to believe in a future that they can't see or experience with their senses yet, but they've thought about enough times in their mind that their brain is literally changed to look like the event has already occurred? The latest research in neuroscience says that's absolutely possible. We know that. And how do you teach a person to select a new possibility in their future and begin to emotionally embrace that future before it's made manifest to such a degree that their body, as their unconscious mind, is believing it's living in that future reality in the present moment, and they're signaling new genes and new ways ahead of the environment? Now, till their body begins to change to look like the event has already occurred, We've proven that that's possible. Now think about this. So the more you think about your desired future, the joy, the gratitude, the, uh, the feelings you want to have that are more positive, the more you think about it as it's as a future thing happening, the more your body shifts now. Exactly. So your body is believing it's living in that future reality in the present moment. Now think about this. The stronger the emotion you feel from some condition in your life, the more altered you feel inside of you. The more you narrow your focus on the cause, and the brain freezes an image and takes a snapshot, and that memory now is embossed in the brain. It's branded in there. So then people think neurologically within the circuits of those past experiences, and they feel chemically within the boundaries of those emotions. And the stronger the betrayal, the stronger the trauma, the more the body's living in the past, right? So then, so how do you reverse that? So now, if you truly got passionate about a future, we've all done this. You get a wild idea in your mind and you start holding on to that vision and you're preoccupied with it, all of a sudden the thought in your mind becomes the experience and you start feeling the energy of the future. Now, the stronger the emotion you feel from that vision, the more you're going to pay attention to the picture in your mind, and now you're remembering your future. And vice versa, the stronger you pay attention to the feeling of the past pain, you're going to create the pain in this moment. Exactly. So then, so it requires a coherent brain, and we now know that there's a formula for that, and we've got beautiful research to show that people can do it. They just have to practice. And it requires a coherent heart, because resentment, frustration, impatience creates a very incoherent heart. Yeah. And when that heart becomes incoherent, you stop trusting yourself. There's no energy there. You get— you stop trusting in your future. So then if there's physical evidence in your brain and body body, physical evidence to look like the event has already occurred, it's quite possible you'll be thinking neurologically within the circuits of your future, and you'll begin to feel chemically within the boundaries of that emotion of your future. And how you think and how you feel is your state of being. And now your state of being is living in the future instead of the past. Now, the moment you disconnect from the emotion of your future future because of traffic or some coworker or your ex or whatever people come up with. Now you're back to the energy of your past, and now you're going to start looking for it, analyzing why hasn't it happened. Well, if you're feeling the emotion of your future, why would you look for it? Because you would feel like it already happened, and that is the place where the magic happens. So then you can't just do this, get up, and then return back to your old state of being. You got to maintain that modified state of mind and habit when life happens. Well, let me finish. I punch you in the face right now. How do you maintain? Well, of course, of course. I mean, we all take blows in our lives and we all react emotionally, but the question is, how long are you going to react? Right, right. So then if you can't mediate and regulate your emotional reactions and those emotions linger for days, that's years for some people, Mood, and then months, temperament, years, personality trait. So then the person's personality is literally based on the past, but they don't know that because they're doing it over and over again. It becomes a subconscious program. So now, if it requires a coherent brain and a coherent heart, then we have to train people how to self-regulate. What kind of attention and intention Do you want a place so that that becomes the loudest voice in your head? And if you keep practicing it, the hardware becomes a software program, and it'll say, "Jay, you can do anything. Jay, you live in no time and accomplish everything. Jay, you're unlimited. You just got to hang with it. On the other side of this is greatness." Whatever you want to program in there, you get to program in there. If you sat down and say, "How am I going to be with my wife, my husband, my partner? How am I going to be with my kids?" How am I going to be at work with my coworkers? How am I going to be in traffic? And you close your eyes and you begin to rehearse in your mind. If you're truly present, the brain does not know the difference between the real-life experience and what you're imagining. So now the brain goes from a record of the past to a map to the future. Now you're installing the hardware. Keep practicing it, it becomes automatic, comes easier. Now it's a software program. You may just start behaving differently. In order for you to, to really begin to explore the unknown aspect of yourself, you got to learn how to get beyond the known aspect of yourself. And if you keep coming back to the known, you're going to miss out on the unknown. So you would say, well, I don't know anything in the unknown. Of course it's the unknown. And if you try to control it there, you're back to the known. If you try to predict it, you're back to the known. So you got to go through this trial and error of just kind of refining your attention, refining your ability. And, and it's just got to be something like playing tennis or playing golf or doing martial arts or working out or crocheting or dancing the salsa. You just got to keep going, man. In the beginning It's tedious. And then when you start finding your groove, like our community, they don't miss their morning meditations. You know why? Because the magic is happening and they know if they miss it, they're going to cut off from the magic. So whether they're tired, whether they're hungover, whether they're— they're in. And if you wake up in the morning and you can't get your butt out of bed, You know what that means? It just means you can predict the feeling of everything that's going to happen in your life. Your body's resigned. So then, so then, you know, when you went on a school trip when you were a kid, you know, you woke up before your parents because you knew something new was going to happen. That's the body going, wake up, wake up, it's something unexpected is going to happen. What happened to us? Christmas Day. Yeah. So why not, you know, put in your, put in your time and then, and then measure the effects of you would cause. I mean, become the scientist in your life and really start to experiment with it. Okay, let me change my energy. Let me just write down 4 thoughts that, like, I can't, it's too hard, I'll start tomorrow, this doesn't feel right, whatever it is, it's this person's fault. Just write those down and say these thoughts, like Gandalf on the bridge, yes, you may not pass today, this is the end.

Yes.

So then if you become conscious of those thoughts, Now you're the governor of your thoughts. What actions, what behaviors do you want to change? Do you complain? Do you blame? Do you judge? Do you make excuses? How do you talk? Do you speak limited? Just pick 4 things that you're not going to do any longer. Yeah. What emotions get you in trouble? What are the emotions— That you're addicted to, too, right? That you're addicted to that keep you returning back to your past? And if you don't know, close your eyes for about 30 minutes and just watch where your mind goes and watch your feelings and just say, okay, It's frustration, it's unworthiness, it's self-doubt, it's guilt, it's frustration, it's shame. Just become conscious of those and just review them in your mind so that you don't go unconscious them in your waking day. We have 1,000 reasons. I have more than 1,000 reasons every day to be unhappy with managing companies and staff and people, all that. But then when you rise above that and you choose just who you want to be I think it makes a big impression on your family, first yourself, your family and your friends and the people you work with, and then finally our communities. So I think that people are starting to figure that out there. And when they imagine oxytocin levels in our student body, the love hormone, the love chemical, 200 times outside of normal. The latest research on oxytocin, a slight elevation in oxytocin, it's impossible to hold a grudge. Now, so then what that means is you feel so amazing that why would you want to hold a grudge against that person? So forgiveness then is not something that you have to try to do to be spiritual. It's the side effect of saying, I don't want to give up this feeling for you or anybody, so I'm letting it go. I'm freeing you. I'm freeing myself. And my goodness, there's more liberation of energy. I call that the natural state of being. And we're knocking on that door.

Why?

Because as you begin to open your heart to life again and you start trusting in your future and trusting in yourself a little bit more and you start self-regulating with your heart, you do that properly and you lead from that place, from that level of awareness, your life will change in dramatic ways. And why is that essential? Because when people start doing that effectively, oxytocin signals nitric oxide. Nitric oxide signals a chemical called endothelial-derived relaxing factor. And that causes the arteries in your heart and lungs, Jay, to literally swell, just like when your, when your sexual organs are aroused and blood flow moves into them, male and female. That's a different consciousness. There's a different energy in there. Imagine the same intensity moving into your heart. That's what people are experiencing. That is a level of love That's not like a love for your puppy. It's not like the love for your partner. This is transcendent of that. This is the most familiar unfamiliar feeling you will ever have. It'll be distant and at the same time very close, and you'll start to see the hidden meaning behind all things. And now when you walk in the presence of your greatest betrayer, the person who threw you under the bus, whatever it is, when you walk in from this place, there will be no emotional reaction, you will just see that person for who they are, who you used to be. Now, compassion then is no longer something that you have to try to do. It's the end product of doing the work. And I think that mystics and saints and masters of old understood this. So when they thought of that person, they didn't allow that thought to produce a feeling or an energy that would lower their energy. They understood that when they had the thought of that person, they saw their limitation. It wasn't hurting them, it was only hurting themselves. Now, I think that if the world was doing that, wow, we'd have a very different world. Thoughts, uh, to me, produce an electrical charge in the quantum field, and feelings produce a magnetic charge in the quantum field. Thoughts— wait, thoughts produce a what? An electrical charge. Okay. And feelings produce a magnetic charge. And how you think and you feel broadcast an electromagnetic signature that influences every single atom in your life. The thought sends the signal out. Now think about this, and the feeling draws the event back. So you could have the intent that you want wealth, you want health, you want success. That's your intent, that's your thought. But if you're waiting for the experience to happen to feel it, then you're not drawing the experience to you because you're not feeling the emotion, right? So then teaching people once again how to balance their thoughts and feelings, because you can, you can enter that cycle either place. Sometimes we do a meditation, we start opening our heart, we start elevating the body's energy, and then those emotions can drive certain thoughts of your future. Other times you open your awareness, you create brain coherence, you have the vision of your future you begin to emotionally experience it, however you want to jump on that cycle, and then sustain it. Because the longer you're conscious of that energy, the more you're drawing your future to you. So then most people spend their lives, right? They— we live in this realm called space-time, three-dimensional reality, and you move your body through space. In three-dimensional reality, it takes time. Yeah. So everything, all your goals, all your dreams, all your visions, you're going to have to get your body up and drag it through space every day to pay off that, you know, that home that's in your future, right? Right. When you create from the field instead of from matter, when there's a vibrational match between your energy and some potential, and your thoughts and feelings are coherent, now you are going to begin to collapse time and space, or the experience is going to be drawn to you. Now, now you're the vortex context to your destiny, and now you don't have to go anywhere to get it because you're not playing by the rules of three-dimensional reality. You're playing by the rules of energy and the quantum. If the word meditation means become familiar with, right? Then, you know, people say, oh well, you shouldn't focus on the negative. Well, really? That's 95% of who you are, and you got to begin to dismantle or denature that old personality, and that means you're going to have to come up against against the cravings that the body has emotionally. You know, like, it is— it's 8 o'clock in the morning and you're doing your meditation, you're normally in traffic, and you want to get angry, and your body's going, hey, you're off schedule, so let me just find something that's mapped in the brain that I— I'll bring up a past experience why you can feel a little anger. Well, now once you become aware of that, now, now the game is on, right? Because now you're working to become conscious of that and not go unconscious conscious again, and it takes an incredible amount of awareness. Yes. It takes a great amount of consciousness, and you can't have consciousness without energy. So you got to raise your energy in order to get to— otherwise you're going to be consumed. Yes. You're going to return back, right? So, gosh, so if you start becoming familiar, so conscious of those unconscious thoughts, they would never slip by your mind unchecked by you. Now that That is when you really catch yourself. The research shows that you can get better at this. You can actually sense the thought before it comes. Then you start firing and wiring new thoughts. You start thinking to yourself, who am I going to be when I open my eyes? How am I going to make a difference in the world today? Who am I going to be? How am I going to love? How am I going to give? How am I going to serve? How am I going to contribute? What things do I want to really do today? In the act of closing your eyes, and just thinking about and rehearsing what you're going to do. Your brain doesn't know the difference. And if you get caught up in it, you begin to install the neurological hardware in your brain to look like you've already done it. Now the brain's no longer a record of the past. Now it's a map to the future. You are priming your brain, and if you keep doing it, the hardware will become a software program. You know what that means? You just might start acting like a happy person. Well, there's no surprise there. You install the circuits. Stress hormones arouse the body, so you have your attention on your body. Stress hormones alert the brain, so you're aware of everything in your environment, like an octopus with tentacles in all different directions. You got to control and predict everything in your life. And if you're living by the hormones of stress, you're always investing your attention and energy into the known future based on the past. So you're on a line of time here, on a timeline. So then let's think about it. How are you going to make thought more real than anything else? How are you going to create from thought? Well, let's close our eyes. Let's disconnect from the environment.

Right.

Less sensory information coming into the brain, less distraction as you said. Let's play some soft music in the background. Let's stick some earplugs in our ear. Whatever you want to do, diminish sensory. Now you're sitting down, you're not eating, you're not tasting, you're not smelling, you're not feeling. So there's more, less sensory input coming to your body. So then now your brainwaves begin to change. They start slowing down, and you move from this beta brainwave pattern where you're aware that you have a body in space and time, or your attention is on the outer world, or your senses are giving you information— less sensory information. Now your inner world starts becoming more real than the outer world, and you're not— the voice in your head that's always talking to you— as your brainwaves change, you start seeing images and pictures and symbols and less in that vocalization, that subvocalization. So your brain waves start changing to alpha. You're going to start creating, start dreaming, pretending, right? So then if you say to your body, you're going to sit down for an hour, and I know you're on a program because you wake up every morning and do the exact same thing, and now I'm going to make you sit, just like say to an animal, you sit, you stay, and your body's going to say, I'm going to I'm going to die, my bladder is going to explode, I need a coffee, I got a lot of emails to do. That's the program. And you say to your body, today we do battle, today this is it. And you sit through that and you make your way, even though your body is trying to get up and you keep settling it back down. I'm telling you, when you start your day that day, you will be more kind, more loving, less judgmental, more patient, more present, because you're mastering the present moment. That means you're not in the predictable future, you're not in the familiar past, you're mastering time. And so then if where you place your attention is where you place your energy, and all of your attention is in the present moment, it's got a lot of energy to do amazing things. And you know when someone's present with you in your life because they're paying attention to you, and you know when they're not present with you because they're not paying pay attention to yourself. So the act of getting more present means you're putting a lot of energy in the present moment, and you're taking your power back from all these things and people in your life. So we teach people this as they start breaking through and they start being able to unfold into this field as an awareness, and they're not putting their attention on their boss or their ex or their wife or their kids or their cell phone or their WhatsApp or their Facebook. They're, they're, they're, they're not thinking at all. So then as they're sensing the space, they can't think. And if you can't think, you can't analyze. And if you can't analyze— the analytical mind is what separates the conscious mind from the subconscious— you just open the door. Wow. And so now, wow, you can reprogram in there. If you could give everyone in the world an experiment to do for 30 days, one activity that they'd have to do every day for 30 days, what would it be? Oh, I would ask them to take out a piece of paper and write down down every thought that they've been thinking that's standing in the way between their future and where they are, to write down every habit or behavior, even how they speak, that stops them from becoming the person that is healthy, wealthy, or free. And then to begin to recognize the emotions that keep them in the same state of being every single day and become so conscious awareness of those thoughts, behaviors, and emotions, that they wouldn't let any of them slip by unnoticed by them. Then I would have them write down the thoughts they do want to fire and wire in their brain. I would have them write down what the behaviors look like of a great person that they wanted to become. And I would have them practice thinking about it and practice rehearsing it. And then I would say to them, what emotions would you feel when your future happened? Because you have to teach your body emotionally what that future feels like before it happens. And every day, If you practice that diligently and sincerely and just become conscious of who you no longer want to be and keep becoming conscious of who do you do want to be, you should begin to see evidence in your life. And when it comes in a way that you least expect, that surprises you and leaves no doubt that it's come from a greater mind, then you'll be inspired to do it again. And now we believe we're more of the creators of our lives. If you said, well, listen, I'm not going to wait for my healing. To feel gratitude. I'm not going to wait for my new relationship to feel love. I'm going to actually teach my body emotionally what that future feels like before it happens. Now, this is a big turnaround for a lot of people because we're so reliant on the outer world to change our inner world, right? Waiting and postponing. Waiting is not creating. I mean, period. And when people are— they could have the greatest intentions in the world, But if they don't combine that with an elevated emotion, there's no signal because the elevated emotion is the carrier. It's the energy that carries the thought. So then when we're in separation, in lack, waiting for our wealth to feel abundance, we're basically living our whole life in pain, right? So then if you reason this and a person can get up from their meditation and they literally feel differently, and they're feeling the emotions of their future before it happens. This is turning the whole process around. They can't be looking for it. Why would they be looking for it if they felt like it already happened? Now there's no separation. Now this is when those serendipities and coincidences and opportunities begin to show up in people's lives. So it's work. But then when they start seeing the experience in their life, all of a sudden they start believing they're more of the creator of their life. Yeah. And less of the victim of their life. A community of like-minded, like, like similar energy of people, uh, everybody understands, they get one another, you know. You, you, communities tends to be the thing now that in terms of our social media and the feedback we're getting, everybody wants more community, because you get 1,000 people in an audience and their energy is synchronized. Now you're looking at something so much bigger. We're just going to measure this. I just talked to a researcher yesterday. We're going to measure 1,000 people when they reach that synchronized moment, when we know that the entire social coherence in the room is orderly. Then if you're producing an ambient coherent magnetic field in your heart and you're tuning into a thought or an intent, and you got 1,000 people doing that, and your energy is going to start interfering and commingling with the person next to you. When that energy starts to synchronize, it's going to produce a bigger wave. The higher the amplitude, the higher the wave, the more energy there is. So now you have one mind and one heart. And now when it comes to healing others, and we've done the research on this now, and we're collecting the data that we're teaching people how to admit administer a change in energy in the person that's laying there, because it's not matter that emits a field. That's the wrong way to think about it. It's the field that creates matter. You change the field, you change matter. It's not your job to change the tumor. The tumor is the illusion. It's the pattern in the field that has to be changed. So once people start reversing this, then you start seeing tumors disappearing. You start seeing blind people seeing, deaf people hearing. You start seeing people with Parkinson's disease switch on. I mean, you start seeing stage 4 cancers reversing because now they're— you're, you're, you're swimming upstream. You're going to the headwaters and making that change. It's so important then that of the infinite places you can put your attention, let's put it on your heart. Now, where you place your attention is where you place your energy. Why?

Why?

Because we want this center to bloom. 1,400, 1,300 different chemicals that restore and regenerate the body. Let's breathe. Let's open this up. Let's practice this. Let's start learning how to lead with our heart, a different consciousness. Yeah, in the beginning, it's a little difficult, but you stay with it and you practice it, petal by petal by petal, placing your attention there. You're putting your own life force back into your heart. You're turning your love inward, and the body will start responding. And in a week's time, if we're doing that 3 times a day or over and over again, sooner or later that thing is going to start blooming. And just like when your sexual organs are aroused and they're engorged with blood, this center, when you start feeling love, you make a chemical called oxytocin. Oxytocin signals nitric oxide. Nitric oxide signals a chemical called derived endothelial relaxing factor. You know what that is? It causes the arteries in your heart to literally open up, so your heart is going to be filled with blood and oxygen and nutrients. It's physiological. It's going to feel full. You're going to have a heart on, in a sense. Your heart is going to feel, right? And when that happens, you you experience a level of love that passes all understanding. Your cup runneth over. I mean, it is— and people are sobbing because they realize that this center finally— like a child. I think we're all faced with great opportunities brilliantly disguised as impossible situations. And in order— like, for me personally, and after looking through your book and reading a good portion of it. I mean, for me, there's no school of ancient wisdom that you need to go to to be initiated. Your life is your initiation if you're paying attention. So we meet challenges in our life from a certain level of mind, right? A certain level of consciousness or unconsciousness. And even Einstein said we have to go to a greater level of consciousness than the consciousness that's created the problem. Well, what is consciousness? Consciousness is awareness. And awareness means possibilities that you haven't thought of before. So we confront problems or challenges in our life. And as a side note, I was having breakfast with a researcher just last week who's studying what happens when we perceive a condition in our environment as a problem, how it weakens the organism. They're measuring this. And when a person sees it as a challenge, how they draw energy, they raise the energy of their body back into order. So if we said, I want to be wealthy, or I want to be healthy, well, what you want to be that because you're not it. So the initiation of going from not it here to it here, you're going to have to climb some steps and there's going to be some blind spots. So you try it out and it doesn't work. Well, that's because there's a part of you that's still in a habit. There's part of you that's still unconscious. Okay. What is it about myself and that circumstance that I am feeling about that circumstance, and that feeling is causing me to think about it? So you say, oh, it's impossible. They'll never change. I'll hire a hitman. I'll hire the mafia. I'll hire an attorney. I'll have my friend's friend to talk to me, and nothing changes, right? Well, you're not separate from that experience. You're involved in it, and how you think and how you feel broadcasts energy into the field. So your energy is the same every day. And as long as your energy is the same, nothing's going to change in your life either. And nobody changes until they change their energy. So then what piece of knowledge, what piece of information, what would love do? What would greatness look like? Okay, I don't know. All right, well, certainly somebody in history has faced this problem. Don't get on Facebook and say, does anybody have any answers? Don't get— go look it up and study and read and learn. You'll own And you'll say, wow, that person that was wealthy, they failed 500 times. Well, hell, I had the wrong view of wealth. Okay, then failure is not a thing. I got to overcome failure. Well, yep, just climb the step. Yeah. Okay, I'm reacting to that circumstance with the same emotion. That emotion is firing the same thoughts. I'm broadcasting the same energy into the field. If I were facing that circumstance and situation again with that person, that circumstance, What do I learn from that circumstance? How could I do it differently the next time? Find out a solution and rehearse it. Install the circuitry so when you get in the circumstance, you're not going to respond in an automatic habituation. Yeah. Now you're at a greater level of consciousness. Now you're looking at possibilities that you weren't looking at before because you were unconscious. Now, that process of trial and error is so important in the spiritual path. How many times Do we have to forget before we remember? And then we remember and we forget again. And it takes constantly remembering until we stop forgetting. And when we get to that point, now we're conscious. Now there's wisdom. And wisdom is the memory of the experience without the emotional charge. Now you're ready for the new adventure. So then people draw conclusions and say, oh, it's that person that ripped me off. It's that person that— What, now you don't create your reality? You only create your reality when things are good? Well, somehow you got to tango through this. Somehow your objectivity in not reacting emotionally is going to change the energy of how you address this situation. Consciousness is awareness. Awareness is paying attention and noticing. And so 95% of who we are by the time we're 35 years old old is a set of unconscious automatic programs that we've just practiced so many times that we're not consciously thinking about those. So in order for you to change, to answer the initial question that you asked, the first step is you got to become conscious of your unconscious thoughts, and you got to, you got to start looking at those hardwired thoughts that, that you think every day that are just circuits that have been fired and wired together. How do we do that? Should we write a list at the end of the day, or what are the most common thoughts we have that day? Like, how does someone become aware? You don't have to do that. You just have to sit down, close your eyes, and not move, and then you'll get— you'll, you'll start seeing. What am I thinking about right now? Yeah. And all you want to do is observe the thought, because when you begin to observe that thought, you're no longer the program. Now you're the consciousness observing the program, and you're starting to pull out of the program. But thinking about about the thinking. Yeah, who's doing the thinking of the thinking about the thinking? That's who you are when you're not the program. That's awareness, right? You got to become aware of how you speak, how you act. Become so conscious, so aware of it, that you won't go unconscious and let that thought or that behavior run you. You got to say, oh my God, this feeling that I've been living by for the last 20 years is actually guilt. I didn't know it was guilt because it just feels like me. Me? And all of a sudden, as you start becoming conscious of it, you're beginning to objectify your subjective self. You're pulling out of those programs, and nobody likes to do that because it's uncomfortable. They'd rather turn on their cell phone, start texting, get on the internet, you know, watch TV to distract them from that moment. And that is what they have to move through in order to get to their own personal freedom. So the first step is becoming conscious. And meditation means to become familiar with, to become conscious of, to become so conscious of your unconscious self that you won't go unconscious to any thought, any behavior or emotion. And get ready because it takes a tremendous amount of energy to do that and awareness to stay conscious. And so we fall from grace. Yeah. Fine. You got to You're awake, you got another day, let's go again. How often do you fall? Oh my gosh, I mean, how many times have I done it? Thousands, but I'm not gonna give up because the moments in which I do connect or the moments that I do have that transcendental experience, what matters the most after it, when I have that transcendental moment, I look back at all of those difficult meditations, those difficult days, and those are the ones you remember. You don't remember the good meditations. You remember the ones where you came up against yourself and you went a little further, and you said, I'm going to go a little further, I'm going to go a little further. Or you had a rough day and you just went in and you just, at the end of the day, you surrender and you have the classic, oh my God, moment. There's no linear correlation. It's just whether you're willing to live in creation instead of living in survival. And so you get better at it. You know, we just get better at it. And for me, To me, staying conscious and staying aware and staying present is an art because you know when someone's present with you in your life because they're paying attention to you. You know when they're not present with you because they're not paying attention to you. So imagine this field of information, this intelligence that lives within you and I that's governing everything material in this world. It's a self-organizing intelligence. You have access to it, so you better get present with it as well as you can get present with anything else. And just because you can't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. That realm you can't experience with your senses. You can only experience with your awareness. So then people have to take their attention off their bodies and go from a somebody to a nobody. Take their attention off the people in their life that they identify with and go from a somebody from a someone to a no one. Take their attention off the things in their life, their cell phone, their computer, their car, and go from something to nothing. Take their attention off where they sleep, where they work, where they're sitting, and go from somewhere to nowhere. Take their attention off the predictable future and the familiar past and time and go from some time to no time. And now if you're taking all of your attention off of everything material in this three-dimensional reality, now there's only one other thing that's left. That means you're in a your consciousness. And now that is the bridge, that is the door to the quantum field. And you can't enter the quantum field as a somebody. So if someone has spent their whole life working on having the perfect body, or so much so they have so much attention on their pain— where you place your attention is where you place your energy— it's going to take some work for them to take all of their attention off their body, right? Because they'll go, they'll do it, and then they'll go back, let's see if the pain's still there. Oh, the pain's still still there. So it's a little bit of a waltz in the beginning, but as people start applying this, you start getting better at it. Let's demystify meditation because it has so many stigmas around it. Close your eyes, retreat from your life, disconnect from your body, disconnect from your environment, disconnect from your schedule, and just give yourself an hour or 45 minutes or 20 minutes. Because when you invest in yourself You invest in your future. And when you believe in yourself, you believe in possibilities. And when you believe in possibilities, you believe in yourself. And if you don't believe in possibilities, then you don't believe in yourself. And you don't believe in yourself, you don't believe in possibilities. So then, but if you have a community, a living organism, yeah, where it's becoming the new normal, yes, you want to join that living organism and you want to, you want to be a part of that. And, and every, every stride you make you make feeds the living organism. Every stride, every effort you make to connect is amazing because that which we are seeking is seeking us. It's not like— it matches our efforts. And so then when people have that uncompromising will, the same way that they go shopping for a dress or a pair of earrings or go to the gym and work out, with the same intensity, with the same passion, come up against themselves and just say, when the body's going, giving everything it has, it's when you say, "That's all you got? That's it? That's all you're gonna put out today? I'm ready." And so then, when you start overcoming that, the side effect of it is that all of a sudden you're happy for no reason. And you're less seduced in believing that something you need something outside of it, outside of you to make you feel better. All of a sudden, you're feeling better every day without anything outside of you. And now all of a sudden, you start showing up unpredictable in your life. They're saying, "That Ed guy, he's different. He's on a different medication. He's— what is going on with him?" But in actuality, you're just freer, right? And so then as we begin to remove these layers that stop the flow of the Divine, that had an essence in us. The side effect is we become more willful, we become more mindful, we become more conscious, we become more loving. It's its nature, you know? It just becomes who we are. At the end of the day, if you really wanted to be wealthy, say, "How did I do today? Did I make the right choices? Was I ethical? Was I purpose-driven? Was I interested in making a difference? Was I fair? Was I temperate?" Did I really think before I spoke? What did I remember reading about that book, about that person that did it? How'd I do? And if you said, "When did I fall from grace? When did I lose it?" Okay, I want that opportunity again. I want another shot at that. And I'm going in this way. What would love do in this situation? What would greatness do? And now you evolve your experience and somehow there's a door. There's an opening, something shifts, something changes. And now here we go, we climb another ladder and then all of a sudden there's another challenge. And then people who finally arrive at their abundance, they could care less if they're abundant. They're already knowing that they've earned the right for it. So there's sometimes a shortcut in the process if we really learn and we really get it. But the trial and error is so important because not only is the person earning the right to be wealthy, but they're earning the right to live in worthiness, worthy to receive. Like, hey, you people, people come to our work all the time for a lot of reasons, and one of the common reasons is they want to get healthy. Yeah. And, and they're— because they're dealing with a very serious health condition. And I always say the same thing to them: stop wanting to be healthy, learn the formula.

Yeah.

On how to get healthy. Learn the formula on how to heal, and the healing will be the side effect of it. If you're obsessing about why am I not healed, you're still the old person. You're going to become that person every day, right? Yeah. Turns out that when you sit down and the people that we interview that have had significant changes, when it's no longer about their health, but they are out of the bleachers and they're on the playing field and they are coming up against the belief, like one lady said, God, I always thought that this work really worked, that these concepts are the truth, but I never believed it worked for me. And I was in a car accident, I'm in a wheelchair. And then she made the decision that she was going to overcome that belief. Now, it was no longer about her healing. It was about overcoming the belief. But she overcame the belief and showed up every day for herself. When you believe in yourself, you believe in possibilities. When you believe in possibilities, you got to believe in yourself. You don't show up love for yourself, you don't believe in it. And that's why people don't do the work. I mean, if you believe that your thoughts create a reality, you would show up every day and create. And so a lot of people believe in their past more than they believe in their future. A lot of people fall in love or more in love with their past or romance their past instead of romance their future or love their future. It's that simple. So the initiation process of life is always going to be there. You're always going to be challenged if you want to be a master. Well, then you better learn how to heal someone else, and you're going to fail a lot of times. And if you think that you're a failure, then you'll quit. But if you feel like you just didn't quite ding it yet, and you show up again to just ding it, and you keep evolving your experience and go deeper, how much more can I open my heart? How much more can I surrender into this infinite field? How much more can I become? Can I walk as it with my eyes open? People do meditations and they have great meditations, me included. And then you get up, you open your eyes, and you're back in the program. And people want to know why they haven't healed. And we have testimonies of people, they're speaking the truth. They said, my MS, my rheumatoid, and my lupus never went away. And I had great meditations. I felt better. And then I realized with my eyes open, I was still that person. And now, next level, they're in the game. They're catching themselves. They're catching how they speak. They're watching how they think. They're not letting their body fall in the same emotional state. To put them in the same past experience that the body's believing in. Now, this is the great part. And when a person finally breaks through from the chains and there's a different consciousness of freedom that happens, they look back at their past. They want to change one thing in their past because it brought them to that present moment. That's the past no longer existing. That's the freedom. So is it worth the effort? Yeah, it's no longer about healing. Feeling. It's no longer about abundance, it's about who you're becoming. I will never work in a relationship. I just won't. If I'm working in a relationship, something's wrong. I'll work on me and I'll bring my best. You bring your best and we get together and we celebrate. It should work. It should work. And if it doesn't, then I'm going to step back and see what is it about me, not you, what is it about me that I need to really look at and change. Now, if there's a vibrational match and it flows and it's fun and you connect physically, mentally, mind, body, soul, you know, that's cool. I think that's healthy. But a mission-driven person can't be in a relationship where you have to keep going back and trying to fix something. I just won't do that. I just think that when it's right, it's right. And I'll know. Yeah. So I do think that relationships can be easy, and I do think that they should be. And I think that if you're heart-centered, that's a different place you meet than other emotions. And again, every time I have a mystical moment and I feel feel that transcendental love that I don't even know the word for. Every time I have one of those moments, I think I got this all wrong. It is not chemical, it's electric. You got what all wrong? Well, the way we view the world. I mean, we don't see things how they are, we see things how we are. And every inner experience that's transcendental, experience enriches circuitry in your brain. Experience produces emotion or energy in the body. So you start having transcendental moments where you start connecting to that field. Its signature is love. I mean, but not love like a love for your puppy. This is like an arousal. This is— I don't know the other word but bliss. Spiritual arousal. Yeah, and we have the evidence. We can say, oh, watch this person's brain. And scientists are studying our work, I'll say. Oh, watch, she's gonna pop in a few minutes. What do you mean? Just watch, she's gonna pop. And all of a sudden, this person goes into an arousal. The sympathetic nervous system is so switched on, but the arousal isn't like an arousal that from the environment that produces anger, aggression, or fear, anxiety, or pain, or suffering. That's survival in the environment that produces the arousal. This arousal is coming from energy in the body that's moving up into the brain in And the arousal is bliss. The arousal is ecstasy. The arousal is— Freedom. Peace. But it's not chemical. It's— you'll feel it in every single cell in your body. Now here's the outcome of that. The outcome of that is that when you open your eyes and some conditioning, some layer has been removed, your spectrum of the way the world looks broadens now because now you're wired to perceive what's always existed, but you didn't have the circuits in place to perceive them. So then it's the inner experience that literally transforms our experience of the outer world. And so when you start having moments where you hit that kind of frequency, or you have those moments of love, you're less dependent on anyone to bring you happiness. You're okay. You can love the person for their flaws because you can see a part of yourself you used to be that you no longer are. And instead of judgment, you have compassion, and you can encourage and communicate from a level of connection instead of intimidation or competition or however relationships work. The person's doing the vision board and they're saying, when I get my new car, I get my new house, I get my new relationship, "Then I'm going to feel so great." Well, then they're back to the program waiting for it to happen for them to feel the emotion. They're believing their outer world has to change in order for them to feel better. There's no effect of drawing the experience to you with that way. So the person has to use those tools to get them into the emotional state for them to feel like it's already happened. Now think about this. If you get up from a creative process and you feel grateful, you feel a love for life, you feel a joy for existence, you feel a passion for the moment, you will not be looking for your future because you'll feel like it's already happened. It's the moment that we start feeling those self-limiting emotions that we feel separation, and then we start looking for it again. Well, then And then if you're waiting, you're not creating, you're in separation again. So then, yeah, so then whatever it takes for you to move into a state of being. And what is a state of being? Thoughts are the vocabulary of the brain. Feelings are the vocabulary of your body. How you think and how you feel creates your state of being. So then if you wake up in the morning and you come back to your senses with a clean slate and you say, I don't feel anything, you say, well, let me start thinking about all the problems in my life. Well, all those problems are connected to different people or different objects of things at different times and places. The moment you remember your problems, a memory is a record of the past. You're thinking in the past. Every one of those problems has an emotion associated with them. So all of a sudden you start feeling unhappy, you start feeling bitter, you start feeling frustrated. So now your body's in the past. So then most people then create a state of being that's connected to their past. And if they're in the familiar past, then they are going to crave the predictable future and they're going to fall back into routine. So then we want people then to get very clear on that vision of their future, however they do it, and begin to combine that clear intention with an elevated emotion. And the stronger the emotion they feel from the vision they're creating, the more altered they feel inside of them, the more they're going to pay attention to the pictures in their mind. And now they're remembering their future. And biologically, it's exactly the same as remembering your past. In fact, if you're not being defined by a vision in the future, it means you're making your past past more real than your future. You're falling in love with your past. You're more in love with your past than you are with your future. That you're believing in your past more than you're believing in your future. When you get to that moment where you have that feeling, that's your compass, because that feeling is going to drive your behaviors. It's going to drive more of those thoughts. And when you feel that feeling and it's visceral, No person, no thing, no experience will stand in the way between you and that vision. And you will be initiated by the universe into wealth. You will be initiated into health. You'll be initiated into freedom. Those people, all those people that have healed themselves of all those different health conditions, they are so humble and so happy and they feel so great that they would never trade this feeling because of what you thought of them. They've left that program behind a long time ago. They actually don't care how you think of them. They actually are so happy with themselves that they're no longer dependent on anything outside of them. Now, I think that's a really important moment because that's the moment we give people permission in our lives to do the same, right? And I think that more and more people are beginning to figure that out. One of the things about the global pandemic that I said to my staff and to my family the moment I heard how the circumstances in the world changed. I just said I refuse to be a victim to these circumstances. So a victim consciousness is when we allow something in our outer environment to control the way we feel and think. So if I say to you, Jay, why are you so upset today? And you said, oh, it's because of this person or circumstance, what you're really saying is something in my outer environment, some person or some condition is controlling the way I think and feel. Now, that's That's not the truth. That's just a response, right? So anything that controls our thoughts and feelings causes us to be victim to those things. And the stronger the emotion we feel to some circumstance in our life, the more we pay attention to it. And where we place our attention is where we place our energy. So we're giving our life force, we're giving our power away to that circumstance. And so I just made up my mind that it was a great opportunity to get into the cocoon.
