In this monologue, Dr. Joe Dispenza explains how the brain operates when we try to manifest a desired experience in three‑dimensional reality. He argues that the brain defaults to a state of lack and separation, constantly comparing us to what we don’t have (e.g., a sports car or a wardrobe). This perception places the desired outcome in the future, requiring extensive effort, prediction, and competition for limited resources. The resulting emotional response to finally achieving the experience temporarily removes the feeling of lack, but the process of "forcing" or "controlling" outcomes consumes a great deal of time and energy. Dispenza suggests that this forced, scarcity‑based approach is inefficient, implying a need to shift away from outcome‑driven striving toward a different mode of creation.

If you're matter trying to change matter and you want this experience in three-dimensional reality, it's going to take a lot of time and energy because your brain's going to say, I know you, it's going to take a lot of doing back and forth until you finally have the experience. And when you have the experience, the emotion that's created from the experience takes away the lack or separation from not having it. So in three-dimensional reality, we create from lack or separation. You see someone with a sports car, you see someone with a wardrobe, and you look at it and your brain automatically goes, I want that because I don't have it. So we create in three-dimensional reality based on lack. And so the brain has the image, I want one of those. It puts it in the future. And then we have to work really hard. And if we're matter trying to change matter, we force outcomes, we control outcomes. We try to predict outcomes. We compete for outcomes because there's only a certain number of resources that we can do in three-dimensional reality to get what we want.
