I mean, I believe I'm an eternal being, I believe I'm eternal!
And in fact, all religions that you study always talk about
you're going to be around for eternity.
Whether it's Heaven or Hell, whether it's karma, whatever, Nirvana.
You are going, consciousness is going to exist.
So, you're going to be stuck with yourself for a very long time.
My goodness, I'm going to use the same passion, life that I've
created with those great habits.
I'm going to turn it inward and I'm going to bloom like a flower in a
new way. Because hey, someone did it at 33 years old, you're 38.
So what? There are people in this group that we're about, ready
to do that are in their 80's and they could be home watching Wheel of fortune.
And they're all in! And you can't tell me you're too old to do this work.
We have
people in their 80's and few in their 90's.
I've seen their brain scans. And they know how to do it.
And you know what? They're happy!
You can't tell me you're too sick to do this work any longer.
We have really really sick people that have we've reversed very
serious health conditions and even genetic disorders that there were
no solutions for in medical science. And there were days that they
doubted themselves. And there were days that
that they didn't feel like doing their meditations. And they were days
they were in so much fear because the doctors told them they were
stupid and they were going to die. And they were days they could have
excused themselves and said: I have too much going on,
I'm too busy. and they could have excused themselves and not on the work.
But guess what?
They did it anyway.
They overcame the conditions in their environment.
They overcame their beliefs.
They overcame those programs, the conditioning.
They overcame their body, and they overcame their fear. Their love
for life started to become greater than their fear of death.
That's just because they made the effort to turn the battleship around.
And you can't even tell me that you're too overweight or too
underweight or too out of shape.
I've seen it on all shapes and sizes.
You can't even tell me that
you never meditated before.
In fact, many times people who have never meditated before have the most
profound readings, because they're not trying to do anything or
expect do anything, or doing it their way.
They're just following what you tell them to do. And in their
innocence, they run right into something really big.
So what? A 38 years old
practicing this, you could say that my new goal is to live for 150
years in a body
that's 38 or 48. And we're measuring
telomeres. We have people, many people, their biological age is
way different than their chronological age.
They don't care that they're 38, their body tells them they're 28.
And why?
Because they are working with down-regulating genes for disease and
up-regulating genes for health every day.
Why?
Because they understand that they can!
And if you don't understand that you can and you're ignorant, then it
doesn't work.
So then,
people who actually say: I'm going to experiment,
I'm gonna become the scientist with my life.
I'm going to measure the effects of me at cause,
that's how I live.
I say: All right,
I'm going to change my energy.
I can tell you - nobody changes in all the years
I've been doing this, nobody changes until they change their energy!
And when you change your energy - you change your life! And why not every day,
instead of getting up and searching for your cell phone, 86%
of the people that have a smartphone,
the first thing they do when they wake up is they do their WhatsApp,
their text, their Facebook, they take a picture of their feet.
They post it on Facebook. Then they do their Instagram, you know, take
a picture of their cat, and then they link in. And then
check one email, the other email.
They check the news. And now their attention is on everything
known in their life, they reaffirm their identity. And then they go
through all those routine behaviors. 95% of them,
they're not even present and conscious, there's a group of them.
Or they're remembering their problems in their past.
That's how they start their day and!
And don't expect anything in your life to change if your environment is
controlling your feelings and thoughts.
And if your environment is controlling how you feel and think and I
say to you: Why are you so upset today?
Oh well, this person is upsetting me.
What you're really saying is - that person is controlling your feelings
and your thoughts, and that means you're a victim
to your environment. Turn that around and you start realizing your
feelings and thoughts create your environment! And you start seeing the
effects of you at cause, you're going to react less to the people in your life
because you're going to understand that you'll be back to the
victim consciousness!
And when you start seeing that you're creating outcomes in your life,
you're going to believe more that you're the creator of your life
and less the victim of your life!
And I say - the more you practice it, the better you get at it!
You know, I used to golf a lot with my friends.
And I used to say to them,
I mean I'm a decent confer, but I'd say to them:
I'm just not good enough to get upset.
Just I'm really not. But I'm going to have a lot of fun and I'm
going to play. And the more fun
I have, the better
I play!
You know, you duff a shot and then you start getting angry
and frustrated.
It's the same thing.
Your game is going to, you're going to
make the same mistake on the next swing because your emotion is
keeping you in your past.
So, you got to make a choice to self-regulate or not.
And the ones that get right back on that have ice water in their veins,
that can settle down and refocus again,
yeah, those are the ones that executes really well.
So, the person who can't get beyond themselves is just a matter of
practicing.
How many balls do you have to hit?
How many punches do you have to throw, how many kicks
do you have to throw till all of a sudden you start looking forward to
doing it?
And yeah, I can tell you this because I've been doing it for a very long time.
Some days are easier than others, but I'm not going to give up.
I'm just not!
I mean, if I'm
going to carve out some time,
then I'm all-in!
I'm not going to shut my cell phone off.
You can disconnect from, it's all going to be there
when I get back.
What I'm going to do is I'm going to make my inner world more real
than my other world! And step by step,
I mean, you can't get impatient doing this.
You can't get frustrated doing this.
You can't get resentful doing this.
You can't force it or control it doing it.
I've seen what happens in the brain.
You're going to make
your brain worse!
So sooner or later, you start figuring out that isn't it.
And all of a sudden you start following the instructions. And you start going:
Wow, that was really easy.
What was I doing up to this point? Everything
but the formula. You were doing everything else but the formula!
Doing it your way,
analytical mind telling you to quit, it's too hard,
you'll never get it.
Yeah, those are the exact things that are standing in the way between you
and your future. And every time you become conscious that you do that
and you settle back down,
that's a victory! Every time your body wants to get up
and check an email,
or check the cell phone, or check get up and get a cup of coffee, and you
settle it down,
you're telling the body
it's no longer the mind that you're the mind.
Every time it wants to go back to the past and romance some trauma
just to reaffirm some emotional state and you become conscious of that
and you say: Where I place my attention is where I place my energy and
I'm siphoning energy out of the present moment into the past, and you
become conscious of it and return back to the present moment,
that's a victory!
And every time you are thinking about the staff meeting at 6:00 or 5:00 in
the afternoon
and that's the known, and you stop and you return back to
the present moment,
you're disinvesting your attention and energy out of that future and
you're making room for the unknown in your life!
And that's a victory!
And when your will gets greater than the program, because most people
lose their free will to programs
because they are on that wheel where they...
You could take their yesterday and lift it up and set it on their
tomorrow, because they're in the habit of doing
everything in a routine way.
So then, when they lose their free will to a program and their body,
which is a habit has become the mind,
now their body's dragging them into a predictable future. And they've
lost their free will to a program. And you sit down and your body is telling:
I'm gonna die in this meditation.
I'm going to suffocate, it's going to end.
I can't... And you just keep settling it back down,
every time you do that
it's a victory!
If you're going to say: I'll do it later,
I'll do it tomorrow or Monday,
you're in a program.
Yeah, right.
Because you actually should be doing it in the moment, right?
So then, I assert that if you're not in the present moment, you're
running a program. And so, the more...
Listen, paying attention is being present. And it's a skill. 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 attention to you.
So then, imagine - you're going to create and you're not present.
How could you miss the moment of creation?
You then are in the known, you're in the familiar past or the
predictable future.
So that
sweet spot of the generous present moment,
iIf you keep practicing overcoming your body, overcoming the conditions
in your environment and overcoming that predictable future and the
familiar past and you keep working for the present moment,
you are going to develop the habit of being present! And if where you
place your attention is where you place your energy and you're in the
present moment,
you got a lot of energy to use!
You have a lot of energy to execute, you got a lot of energy to design
a destiny with! I'll be the first
person to say that we already know how to do this!
We are wired to be creators!
We already know how to do it.
You just made up your mind that it was more important than
anything else.
And you have that vision, you have that possibility, and the
moment you feel that emotion, you're connected to your future! And no
person, no thing,
no experience will stand in the way between you and that future.
And it's feeling connected to your future,
feeling the inspiration,
the joy, feeling the exuberance, the love for your future
every day is going to... Just like your body follows your mind to the
coffee maker, to the toilet every morning, to the known,
your body is going to follow your mind right into that future because
that's where your attention and your energy is!
So then yeah, if it isn't happening in your life, then there's some
emotion, there is some unconscious attitude or thought process hardwired,
there's some habituation of
thought, behavior, or emotional reaction
that's keeping you as you.
So then, if your personality creates your personal reality and it
does, and your personality is made up of how you think, how you act,
and how you feel, then the present personality who's listening to
this show has created the present personal reality called her life!
So if you want to create a new personal reality, a new life, it means
you're gonna have to change your personality.
That means you have to start thinking about what
you've been thinking about, that 95% and change it. You have to become
conscious of your unconscious habits and behaviors, how you speak,
and modify them. And then you have to look at those emotions
that keep you connected to the past and decide - does this emotion
belong in my future? And if it doesn't, leave it behind. And the memory
associated with it.
So, most people try to create a new personal reality
as the same personality and it doesn't work!
We literally have to become someone else! And the act of becoming is a
function of overcoming.
So, that means you got to light a match in a dark place.
And when you sit down and all of a sudden you hear those voices:
I can't, it's too hard,
I'll never change,
it's my ex's fault,
it's my boss's fault,
You know, I'm to this.
I'm too that, I'm too old,
I'm too tired,
it's too late,
and those are the thoughts that
are the boundary of the known. And now you're stepping out into new territory,
and the body that's been conditioned to be the mind
emotionally is saying: Don't go, don't leave the known here,
stick with guilt.
It's much better. Stick with suffering. At least you can predict it.
And yet, your conscious mind is wanting to go for a ride. And your body's going: Whooa.
So then, it may take a little time to help the body out of the past.
It takes some time.
So then, the person can't have a great meditation and feel really
connected and then get up and then get frustrated on the freeway and
judging everybody.
You just disconnected from the energy of your future and you're
back to the energy of the past!
Don't expect anything to change. And if you tell me it's because of
that person, or that circumstance,
I'm going to say: You're back to the unconscious program of being a victim in your life.
And so, there is a period,
a grace period of transformation where we have to cross this river
from the old self to the new self.
And that void, that unknown, is the neurological, the biological,
the chemical, the hormonal, the genetic death of the old self!
And most people, the moment they step out and the hardest part about
change is making a new choice.
The moment you make a new choice, get ready.
You're leaving the known, it's going to be uncomfortable.
It's going to be unfamiliar.
There's going to be some uncertainty, you can't predict, you're not in
the known any longer.
And most people, you know, they step out and they hear that voice:
It's too hard.
You'll never change.
And they believe in that thought.
And that thought leads to the same choice, which leads to the same
behavior, creates the same experience, produces the same emotion,
and then you say: Oh, this Aubrey feels right to me. No, that feels familiar!
So then, if you're becoming conscious of how you speak, you're
sitting in your meditation and you're becoming aware of how you act,
that you complain,
and you blame, and you make excuses, you feel sorry for yourself, you judge
other people,
now you're conscious of what you were unconscious of.
That's a victory too! Because consciousness brings awareness.
And there's an energy that goes along with that. And now all the sudden, you're
not in the program.
You're the consciousness observing the program!
You're outside the jar! You're objectifying your subjective self.
You're seeing yourself through the eyes of someone else.
And then when you look at those emotions and you say: My goodness,
I didn't even know it was guilt.
This is how I always feel.
I didn't even know it was guilt.
Now I know.
All right.
Well now that you know, you cannot not know!
So then, what are you gonna do? You're going to live with the knowing that
you're a victim, or you're guilty, or suffering?
No, the insight isn't going to do anything until you initiate some type of change.
So then, you say: I'm going to stop blaming, complaining,
make excuses, feeling
sorry for myself,
judging other people,
now you're in the river.
And there's a tug for the brain and body to go back to the familiar past.
And every day, if you just work on practicing and changing it,
you will go from one state of being to another state of being! And you
will begin to think differently.
What thoughts
do I want a fire and wire in my brain?
That's a good question.
What behaviors do
I want to demonstrate in one day?
The act of closing your eyes, as an athlete you know this,
and you begin to rehearse
in your mind, mentally rehearse
what you're about to do, begins to install the neurological hardware
in your brain to look like you've already done it!
