So when I think back in 1989 when I had this dream or vision to,
to do the Breakthrough to Higher Power Program,
little did I know the impact it was going to have on millions of people around
the world.
In 1989, I was flying from Houston,
Texas to Montreal on my way to do a presentation to a group of doctors.
As I was doing that, I, as I do sometimes on a flight,
I will sit and meditate on the flight and see if I get some inspiring ideas and
I'll,
I had a Jack Boland goal book in my lap and as I get an idea,
I'd write it in this little goal journal. As I did,
I did get an inspiration suddenly, in fact three of them.
And one of them came in and it said,
the Breakthrough to Higher Power Program, the VIP program.
And I wrote that down and I got a tear in the eye.
And you may know that in your life, when you get a tear in your eye,
you know there's something meaningful to there, something that's authentic,
something that, you know, that's important to follow on.
And then in inside it said; an idea whose time has come,
within the tiny acorn lies a mighty oak.
And that's what came into my head.
And I wrote it down on a Jack Boland goal journal.
It's still sitting in my office in Houston, Texas.
And I decided I'm going to act on that.
And I invited 12 people and it literally said 12 people,
with limited 12 people originally.
And I invited 12 people to a program in my office in
Houston, Texas. And this is back in 1989.
And I did the first Breakthrough to Higher Power, the VIP program. For vision,
inspiration, and purpose, for variance important people, for vitality,
intensity and power. That's what I labeled it as.
Well I did it again within a few weeks and another 12 people came
and I started this program. Well, within a short period of time,
after doing it three or four times,
I noticed that people kept recalling it, the Breakthrough Experience,
because it was a very experiential program. And so no matter what I said,
the VIP program, Breakthrough to Higher Power Program,
they kept calling it the Breakthrough Experience because it was such an
experience.
So I changed the title to the Breakthrough Experience because of everybody just
kept calling it that. This experience they had,
they had this real transformative experience. Well,
when I was 17 and I met Paul C Bragg at the Sunset Recreation Hall in
Hawaii, when I was literally just coming out of a almost death experience,
and this gentleman spoke and
inspired me one night, I thought, I want do what this gentleman does.
I want to be able to, he made such a huge difference in my life that night,
that my life changed. The trajectory changed. I wanted to do that.
So when I got this information about the Breakthrough to Higher Power and it got
converted into the Breakthrough Experience,
I felt I was starting to do what I wanted to do when the night I met Paul Bragg,
he had such an impact on my life my life changed and trajectory changed,
from living in a tent and being a long-haired hippie,
surfer kid to now traveling all over the world and getting
to be a teacher. Amazing shift occurred because of one man.
I remember I was doing a presentation on TV one time and I'd just come out with
a book called You Can Have An Amazing Life in Just 60 Days.
And this guy said to me on this, this host of this TV show,
as I came out behind the curtain, came down and sat in this little couch thing,
he said, 'Now Dr. Demartini,
you don't really expect people to believe they can change their life in 60 days
now, do you, isn't that kind of a little unrealistic?
Most people don't change their life.' And he was somewhat of a skeptic.
And I looked at him straight into his eyes and right above his eyes,
and I started to have tears in my eyes and I said, 'Sir,
it'd be impossible to convince me you can't change your life in 60 days, sir,
my life changed in 60 minutes meeting one man, one hour, one night,
so you won't be able to convince me it can't be done because I've done it and
I've watched thousands of other people do the same.' So I started this
Breakthrough to Higher Power program,
which became the Breakthrough Experience back in 89.
And now I've done it 1,184 times as of date and still doing them every
week almost. And I can't think of anything else I'd rather be doing. You know,
if you ask people, what is it that inspires you?
What is the most fulfilling moments in your life? Most likely,
at least that's what I get from people,
it's when they're doing something that's deeply meaningful,
that makes a difference in somebody else's life and it changes their life and
they're saying thank you. Being of service.
I really believe that's part of our nature.
If you're not being of service to people,
don't expect the highest fulfillment in life.
If you're a taker and not also a giver and you want to have a nice balance of
that, not going to have fulfillment.
If you're not doing something that's really inspiring to you that makes a
contribution that means something to somebody.
But when I did the Breakthrough Experience,
it's something deeply meaningful because I've been a researcher since
1972, once I learned how to read in 1972 / 73.
And I've been devouring everything I can get my hands on for over five decades,
31,000 books almost.
And God knows how many journals and things,
anything that can help people master their life and maximize their human
awareness of potential, I've been trying to devour. That's the thing that,
that's the most inspiring thing I get to do with my life,
is to learn and share and disseminate that information.
Anything that might help somebody master their life, like that guy did for me,
that's what inspires me.
So I've been basically standing on the shoulders of giants studying the greatest
teachings. I remember my mom said to me when I was about to turn 19,
she said, son, what do you want for your birthday?
I was born on Thanksgiving Day. I said,
I want the greatest teachings on the face of earth by the greatest writers,
greatest minds who ever lived from around the world. And she said,
you sure you don't want a t-shirt? And I said, no, mom,
I want to stand on the shoulders of giants, I want great knowledge.
So I wanted to be wise.
I didn't want to be an idiot like I was told I was going to be as a child.
So I wanted to be somebody that had knowledge.
And my mom called her brother, which is my Uncle Ralph.
And he sent two giant 6 x 6 x 6 foot wooden crates to our house,
filled with just thousands of books on every imaginable field. And man,
I was in heaven. This is like,
this is better than dying in the afterlife , this is amazing.
So I sat and started devouring.
I was reading 20 hours a day in some cases reading and reading and reading
anything from the greatest minds, anything in the greatest fields,
anything that would allow me to get some insight on how to maximize human
awareness and potential to help me master my life.
I was watching a TV show called Kung Fu and David Carradine was this martial
artist that had this Shaolin master that had taught him and trained him,
it was his master. And I thought,
I said I want to master my life like this guy.
And I set out and I defined mastery as the one who's basically one who's
mastered their mind and be able to create original creative ideas and ingenious
ideas and wake up their genius and contribute to the planet something that
serves.
I want to create a global business that made a difference and serve people that
would leave some sort of mark in the world.
I want to have financial independence and be able to work because I love to,
not because I had to. I want to have a global family dynamic,
which is one of the reasons I live on a ship called the World that goes around
the world. I wanted to go and hang out with movers and shakers,
which I've met over 9,000 of these people now.
And I wanted to go out and do something amazing with my physical and be
an enigma physically and be youthful even at a riper age.
And I'm almost 69 now.
And I also wanted to go and do something that inspired people.
Cause I believe people deserve to have an inspired life. That was me to me,
mastery. But everybody has a different idea of what mastery is.
You have a different idea.
Yours maybe raising beautiful family or maybe a spiritual cause or maybe being a
great Olympic medalist, I don't know.
But whatever it is that's meaningful to you, I wanted to help people do that.
And what's inspiring to me is watching people do it.
So when I teach the Breakthrough Experience, which has evolved now,
all these thousands of times, the 1,180 times,
I get to now watch lives change. I get to people do it.
I teach them how to identify what they value most and how to live intrinsically
and how to be spontaneously inspired and how to delegate lower priority things
so they're not trapped weighing themselves down and self depreciated and self
distracting systems.
I want to show them how to take command of their life and be a master of their
destiny, not some victim of history.
I want to show them how to dissolve all the emotional baggage that's stored in
the subconscious mind with my Demartini Method,
which I've been working on for 50 freaking years and polishing it and working
it. I've got a science that's amazing on how to dissolve baggage,
stuff that we're judging in ourselves and other people.
I just did a program this week and I asked people how many now after you've done
the method, have other baggage that you now know what to do with?
All the hands go up. The tool is a goldmine for transforming people's lives.
And I, that's what my dream was. What this gentleman did for me,
I'm now doing for other people and it's absolutely inspiring.
I can't think of anything else.
I was speaking and doing the Breakthrough Experience in Honolulu at the Hyatt
right there by Waikiki.
And in the afternoon on the second day on Sunday and we had just gotten through
going through the grief process on how to dissolve grief over any form of loss
in your life. And amazingly, there was a lady that came in the back,
she was about four foot seven.
She came in the back and at the break this lady approached me.
This lady was Patricia Bragg, the daughter of the guy that inspired me.
And she came up to me and she reached up and grabbed my hands and she says,
you inspired me. And I said, thank you. And she says,
you remind me of my father. Wow.
Wow.
I gave her a big hug and we held each other and then we went to lunch the next
time. And what an inspiration to see somebody many,
many years later, the very daughter of the individual that inspired your life.
But I was able to give back to her and back to, he passed away.
But when I do the Breakthrough Experience, it's a heart opening experience.
It's it's a transformative weekend. That's all I can say.
It's 25 hours of dedication to helping people break through
whatever they see in the way so they see life on the way, not in the way.
You know, I take people,
there's people of all different walks there that come in for different reasons
there.
Some are sitting there and they're having problems with their mental capacities.
They're having learning problems or retention problems,
or maybe they're trying to go and get an advanced degree and they're having
difficulties. I show them how to help them with that.
Or maybe they're in business and they're not able to grow their business,
they're stagnant and they're not clear on their mission or their vision or
they're not knowing how to prioritize or delegate or hire, whatever,
I explain to them how to master that and maximize that.
Or maybe they're going in there and they're trying to go do something and build
wealth. And no matter what they do, they can't seem to get ahead financially,
and I show them how to basically transform their value structure in such a way
where they can now receive money and make money and actually build some wealth
in their life for the first time.
Or they maybe they have relationships that are on the bleak or maybe they're
wanting to divorce.
I show them how to dissolve the angers and resentments and all the baggage that
they have in relationships so they can love their life again and love the people
they're with. Or maybe their social, they don't, they're afraid,
they're intimidated and they're afraid of speaking up and speaking out and
they're basically subordinating to people.
One of the biggest things that stops people from doing extraordinary things is a
comparison of themselves to other people and putting people on pedestals or pits
instead of putting them in the heart.
I teach you how to dissolve that and get into the heart and communicate and have
reflective awareness so you can have true intimate relationships and love.
And I'm showing you also how to have vitality because when you're living by your
highest value and you're inspired by your life, your physiology rallies,
and even illnesses transform because illness is a feedback inside your
body to try to get you to be authentic. So if you want to be authentic,
come to the Breakthrough Experience. It's amazing.
I'm going to show you how to actually have an authentic moment.
And I ask people, now you're certain about this moment,
this is a moment of tears of grace, and you know that this is you. And they go,
wow, this is where the power is.
The facades and the imposters that you play are not where the power is.
So I basically show people how to do that and it's inspiring.
And so when I think back on 1989 when I had this dream or vision
to do the Breakthrough to Higher Power program,
little did I know the impact it was going to have on millions of people around
the world.
And now I have facilitators that are trained in the Demartini Method as a result
of that program,
and they're out spreading the message and taking the tools and going out and
doing something extraordinary with their life.
So I'm very inspired by what happened in 1989,
that one moment that I followed that was an inspiration that had a tear,
has led to now a movement across the world because of this Breakthrough
Experience. A book has come out on it. There's a movie that's coming out on it.
There's, it's just touched thousands and thousands of lives.
So I'm pretty inspired by that.
The Breakthrough Experience is my life's work summarized in a two day
experience. It's a culmination of all the 50 years of research plus.
And I know that it's, it's what I love doing.
There's no way you can go through that experience without having a shift in your
trajectory in life. No way. I've had people, I ask people,
how many of you at the end of the program, how many of you have had, you know,
learned something this weekend you couldn't have learned if you'd have been
anywhere else? There's no way they could have gotten this information.
Instead of why reinvent the wheel? Why not stand on the shoulders of giants?
Why not take advantage of it? I stood on the shoulders of giants,
sir Isaac Newton in Principia,
I took I Einsteins where I've taken all the great minds and all the great
philosophers and Nobel Prize winners, and I've summarized and synthesized it.
The great psychologists, the great theologians, the great philosophers,
the great inventors, the great minds of business and in finance,
I've summarized it,
it's silly not to stand on those shoulders and take advantage of it and start to
have to reinvent the wheel.
Why learn by trial and error when you can stand on the shoulders and giants and
go forward?
I assure you that the information in this program is life-changing and I just
can't wait to share it with people. That's why I do it every week.
Literally 1,184 times as of date.
So there's no way you can do that, I mean, people say, well,
how many hours is that? Well, it's 25, you calculate the hours, It's 25,
26 hours times that many times it's over 30,000 delivered hours I've presented
this program to over a hundred thousand people plus all the secondary people
helping me with it.
So if you would like to be one of those individuals that go and transform,
just like when Paul Bragg met me when I was 18 and my life changed,
I want to do the same for you.
I want to be able to bring that same information and shatter any myths that you
might be running your life. Paul Dirac said, the Nobel Prize winner said,
it's not that we don't know so much, we know so much that it isn't so.
I'd like to build you a foundation of knowledge that'll stand the test of time
so you can give your eyes to your legacy that you want to leave in life.
We all want to make a difference. You deserve to make a difference.
That's why I want you to come and join me at the Breakthrough Experience because
the Breakthrough Experience is amazing. It's a family.
Every time we do it, I have people come and says, I'm so glad I'm back here,
this is where my, this is where I feel I'm most authentic.
I can be loved for who I am. If you want to be loved for who you are,
come to the Breakthrough Experience.
If you want to go out and know how to express your love and do what you love in
life, come to the Breakthrough Experience. It's amazing.
So I just wanted to share a little presentation about the Breakthrough
Experience this time.
I do webinars every week to help my students do something amazing.
But it's almost insane not to go and do a presentation on the very thing that I
do every week. So that's why I'm doing this now.
I just want you to know that it's there for you so you can make a transformation
in your life.
If you want to be able to love yourself and look in the mirror and say, yes,
I have a little song out there called John's song.
You can probably find it online.
And I basically ask people to stand in front of the mirror,
maybe in their nude position and say, are you able to say,
I love you just the way you are.
I want you to come to the Breakthrough Experience so you can love your life
again and be inspired by what the contribution you make. Because it's inspiring.
And that one day in 1989, I did not know what that was going to lead to,
but I'm so grateful I followed and pursued what was inspiring to me in that
moment. I want you to do the same.
I want you to follow your tears of inspiration and live an authentic life and do
something extraordinary and make a difference in your life.
So I just wanted to talk about the Breakthrough Experience because it's changed
my life and changed the lives of thousands of others.
And I know it can change the life of you.
I know that you can go out and do something extraordinary with your life.
So let me help you do that, .
It's my life's work and I look forward to sharing it with you.
So thank you for being with me today.
I'll see you on the next presentation and please join me at The Breakthrough
Experience.
That way I can take my life's work and hand it onto you and you can take it and
run with it and and go do something extraordinary with your life. I love you.
Thank you for being with me today.
