Most people will do the same exact thing and react in predictable ways but expect something
to change in their life. Darwin had it really well when he said: It's not the strongest of species
that survives or the most intelligent species, but the one that's the most adaptable to change.
And if you look around the world right now, whether you're looking at the economic model,
or the political model, or even certain aspects of the religious model, the environment, the medical
model, there's several different parts of our culture that's beginning to collapse.
And if you study human nature historically, it we always wait for crisis or trauma or
disease or diagnosis, both as an individual and as a culture, before we decide to change.
And if you look at this and you study it in history, it's a sign that something new has
to be born. So, as the old model of reality begins to change, something else has to replace it. So we
have two ways that we actually face a crisis. We can either face crisis in a state of emergency,
which in the beginning of a crisis is healthy, or we can face a crisis in a state of creativity and
innovation. So, let's talk about that biologically. Because it says a lot about how a culture responds,
or a person individually. When you and I react to conditions in our life, stressful conditions, we
turn on a very primitive nervous system called the "fight-or-flight nervous system", or what's called a
"sympathetic nervous system". And when we react to our external environment and we see chaos, or
a threat, or a trauma, our primitive nervous system tells us that we have two options. We either
run or we fight. And we mobilize enormous amounts of energy. Because from a historical standpoint,
running and fighting from a predator was the best way for our chances of survival.
So our stressors have become a little bit more complex. We have finances, we have jobs, we have
traffic jams, we have internet connections, we have second mortgages, we have single parenting, and all
of these elements turn on that primitive nervous system as if we're being chased by a lion. So,
in the short term all organisms in nature can deal with short-term stress a zebra gets chased by a
lion 15 minutes later it goes back to grazing and the stress is over it returns back the homeostasis
now stress is when your body and brain are knocked out of balance the stress response is what your
body innately does to return itself back to order so we know from a scientific standpoint
that when you turn on the stress response and you can't turn it off now you're headed for a disease
now you're headed for some type of breakdown so if you look at a crisis in terms of emergency
and we're releasing all these primitive chemicals of adrenaline and cortisol
those chemicals create the emotional states of anger of frustration of aggression of hatred
of fear of anxiety of insecurity of hopelessness of powerlessness of guilt of shame of depression
the other state of mind if you can view crisis as a great opportunity brilliantly disguised as an
impossible situation and you have to match the conditions in your environment with a new mind
now we're talking about greatness because innovation and creativity and a new way of
thinking in a new way of being means that we can't do the same thing from the past and so in history
cultures that are individuals that overcame their environmental conditions were considered
mystics and saints and leaders and charismatic leaders they were individuals that saw past the
illusion of the present reality now when we begin to become innovative or creative
the brain begins to switch we begin to turn on the forebrain the frontal lobe which is really
the crowning achievement of the human being and we begin to ask bigger questions how can we
create can create a new way of being in a world that's falling apart how can we begin to create
a new system to adapt to these conditions now the hardest part without a doubt in all of my research
about change is not making the same choice as you did the day before so reason this you think
you think sixty to seventy thousand thoughts in one day out of those sixty to seventy thousand
thoughts that you think ninety percent of those thoughts are the same thoughts as the day before
so the same thoughts will lead to the same choices the same choices will lead to the
same behaviors the same behaviors will create the same experiences the same experiences create the
same emotions and those same emotions drive the same thoughts and that's called a personality
and your biology is a reflection of your state of being so then your personality is directly related
to your your personal reality and your personality is made up of how you think
how you act and how you feel so in order for you to create a new personal reality a new life
then you have to begin to examine the thoughts that you're thinking and decide if you want to
continue thinking that way or choose a new way of thinking you have to become aware and observe your
behaviors and look to see if those habits are something that's going to support a new future
and you have to look at the emotions that you've memorized that keep you connected to the past
and decide if those emotions are healthy so most people try to create a new personal reality
as the same personality and it doesn't work we literally have to become somebody else so it
stands to reason then as you begin to question and speculate possibilities the wright brothers
you know madame curie uh thomas edison and benjamin franklin they were marconi they were
all thinking outside the box they were asking questions is there a way to create this outcome
and when they began to think in new and unusual ways new thoughts lead to new choices new choices
lead to new behaviors new behaviors lead to new experiences new experiences create new
emotions and all of a sudden you start to transform so in order to change a culture
you have to change individuals we have to change it individual by individual now this requires then
by not making the same choices you did the day before to begin to think and act in different ways
this is the creative function of human beings so if an economy is collapsing if a government
is deceiving if if people are no longer feeling supported then we have to think in uncommon ways
in order to adapt to the environment if we don't then it is really the environment the
external world that's controlling how we think and feel we're victims to the external world is it
possible to change the way you think and feel and have some effect in your environment now that is
a concept that when people are struggling to survive becomes very difficult because
you're still worried about the food on your table you're still worried about the
the well-being of your children but what's the alternative i mean there is there aren't many
other alternatives so then when we start asking unlimited questions questions like what would be
a great way to run a business in this changing world how could i begin to influence my future
it requires one amazing thing and that is gaining knowledge gaining information
every time you learn something new you make a new connection in your brain that's what learning is
and as you begin to think about new ways of being and you're learning new information
the brain begins to fire in new sequences and new patterns and new combinations whenever you make
the brain work differently you are changing your mind mind is the brain in action so when we begin
to get creative something unusual happens we stop living by those survival emotions those survival
emotions alter our perception and cause us to look at the future through the lens of the past
as we begin to design a new way of being we have to lay down the very thing that we used our whole
life to get what we want for something greater to take over now we're talking about genius
now we're talking about innovation now once the idea comes the next step is that you have to take
action you have to do something with it. I hope you enjoyed this amazing speech by Joe Dispenza. We'll
