If you believe that your thoughts have something to do with your
destiny and you can't think greater than how you feel, or feelings
have become
the means of thinking, by very definition of emotions - you're thinking
in the past! And for the most part, you're going to keep creating the
same life.
So then, people grab their cell phone, they check their WhatsUp,
they check their texts, they check their emails,
they check Facebook,
they take a picture of their feet,
they post it on Facebook, they tweet something, they do Instagram,
they check the news, and now they feel really connected to everything
that's known in their life.
And then they go through a series of routine behaviors.
They get out of bed on the same side, they go to the toilet, they got
a cup of coffee, they take a shower, they get dressed, they drive to
work the same way,
they do the same things, they see the same people that push the same
emotional buttons. And that becomes the routine and it becomes like a
program.
So now they've lost their free will
to a program. And there's no unseen hand doing it to them.
So when it comes time to change, the redundancy of that cycle becomes a
subconscious program.
So now, 95% of who we are
by the time we're 35 years old is a memorized set of behaviors,
emotional reactions,
unconscious habits, hardwired attitudes, beliefs and perceptions that
function like a computer program.
So then, a person can say with their 5% of their conscious
mind: I want to be healthy,
I want to be happy, I want to be free. But the body is on a
whole different program.
So then, how do you begin to make those changes?
Well, you have to get beyond the analytical mind because what
separates the conscious mind from the subconscious mind is the
analytical mind.
And that's where meditation comes in. Because you can teach people through
practice how to change their brainwaves, slow them down. And when
they do that properly, they do enter the operating system where they
can begin to make some really important changes.
So, most people then wait for crisis, or trauma, or disease, or diagnosis,
you know, they wait for loss, some tragedy to make up their mind to change.
And my message is: Why wait? You can learn and change in a
state of pain and suffering.
Or you can learn and change in a state of joy and inspiration.
I think right now the cool thing is that people are waking up.
Your body, as the unconscious mind,
it doesn't know the difference between the experience that's creating
the emotion and the emotion that you're creating by thought alone.
So, the body's believing it's living in the same
past experience 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
And so then, when those emotions influence certain thoughts, and they do,
and then those thoughts create the same emotions, and those same
emotions influence the same thoughts,
now the entire person's state of being is in the past.
So then, the hardest part about change is not making the same choices
you did the day before. Period. And the moment you decide to make a
different choice, get ready!
Because it's going to feel uncomfortable. We keep firing and
wiring those circuits, they become more hardwired.
So, you have a thought and then the program runs. But it's the
emotion that follows the thought.
If you have a fearful thought, you're going to feel
anxiety. The moment you feel anxiety, your brain's checking in with
your body and saying: Yeah, you're pretty anxious.
So then, you start thinking more corresponding thoughts equal to how
you feel.
Well, the redundancy of that cycle conditions the body to become the mind.
So now, when it comes time to change, a person steps into that river
of change and they make a different choice. And all of a sudden
they don't feel the same way.
So the body says: Well, you've been doing this for 35 years,
you're going to just stop feel suffering and stop feeling guilty and
stop feeling shameful? And you're not going to complain or blame or
make excuses or feel sorry for yourself?
Well, the body's
in the unknown.
So the body says: I want to return back to familiar
territory.
So, the body starts influencing the mind.
Then it says: Start tomorrow.
You're too much like your mother, you'll never change.
This isn't going to work for you.
This doesn't feel right. And so, if you respond to that thought as if
it's true, that same thought will lead to the same choice, which will
lead to the same behavior, which will create the same experience,
which produces the same emotion. In a sense, if you're sitting down and
you start thinking about some
future worst-case scenario that you're conjuring up in your mind
and you begin to feel the emotion of that event,
your body doesn't know the difference between the event that's taking
place in your world, outer world, and what you are creating by emotion or
thought alone!
So most people then, they're constantly reaffirming their emotional states.
So when it comes time to give up that emotion, they can say: I really
want to do it but really the body is stronger
than the mind, because it's been conditioned that way.
So, the servant now has become the master. And the person all of a sudden,
once they step into that unknown, they'd rather feel guilt and
suffering
because at least they can predict it. Being the unknown is a scary
place for most people because the unknown is uncertain.
People say to me: Well, I can't predict my future, I'm in the
unknown. And I always say: The best way to predict your future is to
create it, not from the known
but from the unknown. What thoughts do you want a fire and
wire in your brain?
What behaviors do you want to demonstrate in one day?
The act of rehearsing it mentally, closing your eyes and rehearsing
the action... They are rehearsing the reaction of what you want?
Yeah, the action of what you want, by closing your eyes and mentally
rehearsing some action. If you're truly present, the brain does not
know the difference between what you're imaging and what you're
experiencing in 3D world.
So then, you begin to install the neurological hardware in your brain
to look like the event has already occurred!
Now your brain is no longer a record of the past.
Now it's a map to the future! And if you keep doing it, priming it
that way, the hardware becomes a software program! And who knows,
you just may start acting like a happy person. And then I think the
hardest part is to teach our body emotionally what the future will
feel like ahead of the actual experience.
So, what does that mean?
You can't wait for your success to feel empowered,
you can't wait for your wealth to feel abundant,
you can't wait for your
new relationship to feel love, or your healing to feel whole.
I mean, that's the old model of reality of cause and effect.
You know, waiting for something outside of us to change how we feel
inside of us. And when we feel better inside of us, we pay attention to
whoever or whatever caused it.
But what that means then is that, from the Newtonian world, is most
people spend their whole life living in lack waiting
for something to change out there.
What do you mean the Newtonian world?
Newtonian world is all about the predictable.
It's all about predicting the future.
But the quantum model of reality is is about causing an effect!
The moment you start feeling abundant and worthy, you are generating
wealth. The moment you're empowered and feel it,
you're beginning to step towards your success!
The moment you start feeling whole, your healing begins.
And when you love yourself and you love all of life, you'll create an
equal. And now you're causing an effect!
And I think that's the difference between living as a victim in your world
saying: I am this way because of this person,
or that thing, or this experience, they made me think and feel this way.
When you switch that around, you become a creator of your world.
And you start saying: My thinking and my feeling is changing an outcome
in my life. And now that's a whole different game.
And we start believing more that we are creators of reality.
And if you wake up in the morning and you're not being defined by a
vision of the future, as you see the same people, and you go to the same
places, and you do the exact same thing at the exact same time,
it's no longer that your personality is
creating your personal reality. Now your personal reality is affecting
or creating your personality.
Your environment is really controlling how you think and feel
unconsciously.
Because every person, every thing, every place, every experience has a
neurological network in your brain. Every experience that you have
with every person produces an emotion. So, some people will use their
boss to reaffirm their addiction to judgment.
They'll use their enemy to reaffirm their addiction to hatred.
They'll use their friends to reaffirm their addiction to suffering.
So now they need
the outer world to feel something.
So, to change then is to be greater than your environment, to be
greater than the conditions in your world. And the environment
is that seductive.
So then, why is meditation the tool?
Well, let's sit down,
let's close our eyes,
let's disconnect from your outer environment.
So, if you're seeing less things, there is less stimulation going to your brain.
If you're playing soft music or you have your plugs in, less sensory
information is coming to your brain.
So you're disconnecting from your environment.
If you can sit your body down
and tell it to stay like an animal, stay right here, I'm going to feed
you and when we're done
you can get up and check your emails,
you can do all your texts. But right now you're going to sit there and
obey me!
So then, when you do that properly and you're not eating anything,
or smelling anything, or tasting anything, you're not up experiencing
and feeling anything,
you would have to agree with me that you're being defined by a
thought, right?
So when the body wants to go back to its emotional past,
you become aware that your attention is on that emotion, and where you
place your attention is where you place your energy, you're siphoning
your energy out of the present moment into the past. And you become
aware of that, and you settle your body back down in the present
moment, because it's saying: Well, it's 8:00,
you normally get upset because you're in traffic around this time,
and here you are sitting, and we're used to feeling anger and you're off
schedule.
Oh, it's 11:00 and you usually check your email
and judge everybody.
The body is looking for that predictable chemical state.
Every time you become aware that you're doing that and your body is
craving those emotions, and you settle it back down into the present
moment,
you're telling the body it's no longer the mind, that you're the mind!
And now your will is getting greater than the program.
And if you keep doing this over and over again, over and over again,
over and over again, just like training a stallion or a dog,
it's just going to say: I'm going to sit!
And the moment that happens and the body is no longer the mind, when it
finally surrenders, there's a liberation of energy.
We go from particle to wave, from matter to energy, and we free
ourselves from the chains of those emotions that keep us in the
familiar past. And we've seen this thousands of times.
In fact, we can actually predict it now. I hope this was helpful.
