The latest research in neuroplasticity tells us we're not hardwired to
be a certain way for the rest of our lives.
The latest research in epigenetics says we're not doomed by our genes,
that in fact were marvels of adaptability and change!
So, as the person started to contemplate and think about who do I want to be
when I open my eyes? What would it be like to be happy?
What would it be like to live a new life?
The frontal lobe is looking out
out into the landscape of the entire brain because it has connections
to the entire neocortex. And it's got to resolve the problem.
So it starts calling up different networks of neurons that are
relevant to the question based on the knowledge
the person learns or the experiences that they had. And it begins
to seamlessly piece together this new understanding and that's called
"intention".
And so, if you're reading a book about how to become more happy or if
you're reading a book on how to be a leader in your life where you're
studying the process, every time you learn something new you
add new connections to your brain! So now you have the raw materials for you to
imagine even more.
So, the act of mentally rehearsing begins to install the neurological
hardware in your brain to look like it's already happened.
Now, the brain is typically a record of the past, but the moment we
install a neurological hardware, it becomes a map to the future!
And you keep doing that, the hardware becomes a software program.
Whichmeans, you start thinking like a genius, you start acting like a happy
person because there's no mystery there because you installed the
circuits.
And then these people didn't wait for their wealth or their health to
feel gratitude and to feel empowered or to feel a love for life.
They began to feel those emotions ahead of the experience.
And their body, as the unconscious mind, doesn't know the difference
between the experience in their life
that creates the emotion and the emotion that they're creating by
thought alone. The body's believing it's living in the future
in the present moment! And the stronger the emotion that they felt,
the more they're going to pay attention to the thoughts they are thinking.
And now all of a sudden they're changing their biology from living in
the past present reality to living in the future present reality.
And I was so intrigued by this process that I went back to school to
study neuroscience. Because it was the answer!
So then, the last thing they had in common which I thought was so
amazing
is that in the internal process of rehearsing and imagining, they had
long moments where they lost track of time and space. When they
open their eyes they thought it was maybe 15, 20 minutes later.
It was an hour and 15 minutes later. And when we get into the present
moment, there's a moment where you lose track of
yourself, you forget about yourself. And only in the present moment
do you have access, according to the quantum model of reality,
to other possibilities!
And when you're truly in the present moment, the generous present
moment, that's the moment
then that you are no longer living in the familiar past or the
predictable future.
And in order for us to change, I realized that we have to get beyond
our environment. And what's our environment made of? People, husband's,
kids, bosses, objects, things,
places. You got to get beyond your emotions, your body, your
pain, your disease. And you got to get beyond this concept of linear time.
So when we get beyond our body, our environment, and time, we become
pure consciousness! And now that consciousness can begin to connect to
the consciousness of the field! And all of a sudden, I realized that
when people are nobody, no one, no thing, nowhere, no time,
that's the moment
they're no longer a face, they're no longer culture, they're no
longer skin color,
they're no longer a mother, they're no longer grandmother,
they're longer a doctor, an attorney, they're no longer a nurse, they're pure
consciousness. And that is the element that we begin to connect to
something greater!
So, I wrote a book about it, and then I wound up on this documentary
called "What the bleep do we know" and that became an overnight
sensation,
and we did all these conferences, all the scientists all over the world,
at the end of every conference we had panel discussions. And I
started listening to the people's questions during those panel
discussions and they asked really 3 important questions:
How do we do it?
Which is a good question.
How do our thoughts affect our body or
our life? Second question: If our personality creates our personal
reality, and it does, and our personality is made up of how we think,
how we act and how we feel, in order for me to change
my personal reality, I have to change my personality.
Why the hell is it so hard to change?
I thought that was a really good question.
And the third thing was: What do you do?
So, I started teaching these Friday night all day Saturday events
and giving people the understanding of brain science, and brain waves,
and the quantum model, and showing them pictures of neurons
connecting and disconnecting, what neural nets are, and how the brain
works, and what focused concentration looks like, and begin to create
something where people could really begin to practice it at home.
And basically, I said: Okay, well if these are the 4 principles
that these people used in my first book to heal, based on my
investigation, it should work for sick
people or normal people.
The process is exactly the same.
We got to unlearn and relearn, we got to break the habit of the old
self, reinvent a new self.
We got to unfire and unwire and refire and rewire. We have to prune
synaptic connections and sprout new connections. Unmemorize emotions
stored in the body
and then we have to recondition the body to a new mind,
into a new emotion. To stop signaling the same genes in the same
way and begin to signal new genes in new ways. To pull our attention
and our energy out of the familiar past and begin to invest our
attention and energy into a new future! To go from the known to the
unknown.
So, the model was built and we started doing these workshops all over
the world, from Australia to Mexico to Colombia to Canada to the United
States to South Africa to all over Europe.
We were teaching these events and you know, to be honest with you, the first
year I didn't see many changes.
We saw some people get happier, a greater sense of well-being.
But no real breakthroughs. But at the end of these introductory
level courses, people would ask: Can you teach another level?
So I taught a level 2. And then at the end of that, they said: Could you
teach another level?
That we taught a level 3. And then they said: Can you teach another level?
And I said: I don't know anything else, I ran out. When you're stressed out,
when you're impatient, and when you're frustrated,
the heart beats out of rhythm because it believes
there's a predator behind the corner here. Or you're worried about the
next thing that's going to happen,
you're switching on the survival centers. And so, it takes a
clear intention and elevated emotion to begin to affect matter in the
nature of reality.
So, you got to open your heart! And I wanted to teach our students how
to make that a skill. And we could measure them when they do it.
And when you feel gratitude, and appreciation, and love, and kindness,
and care, your heart starts beating in rhythm.
It starts beating in a coherent pattern. When you start getting beyond
matter, and bodies, and people, and things, and you take your attention
and you open your awareness to space, to nothing, the brain gets super
coherent, we've measured it thousands of times.
And so, we just got better at teaching the process. And our students can
create brain coherence and change their brain waves in 4 seconds,
5 seconds, 9 seconds, 15 seconds.
They just know, it's a skill.
They know how to do it.
And when I say: Go into heart coherence, they know how to do that.
They can do it for 45 minutes! And why is it important? Because
so many times in our life we go on conscious and we disconnect.
And when the heart is beating coherently, it produces a measurable magnetic
field that can be up to 3 meters wide.
It's a magnetic field that allows you to begin to spread your
energy! And that energy is a frequency and frequency carries
information. And now that energy can carry the thought of your
abundance.
It carry the thought of your wealth because all thoughts have a
frequency.
You can't, the emotion of guilt, the energy of suffering cannot carry
the thought of abundance or health, because it's not the same energy!
And just like you could say: I'm healthy, I'm healthy, I'm healthy,
I'm healthy with your conscious mind, and if your body's been
emotionally conditioned into unhappiness or pain, that thought never
makes it to your body. And there's no connection between the mind and body.
So when people elevate their emotional states like in a state of
gratitude, the emotional signature of gratitude means the event is
already happened.
It means when you give thanks, you're getting something.
So, when you start giving thanks, your body's in a perfect state of
receiving.
Well hell, if you understand the science of the placebo, you know,
giving someone a sugar pill or a saline injection or performing some
false surgery or procedure, the certain percentage of those people will
accept, believe, snf surrender to the thought that they're getting the
real substance or treatment. And they begin to program their autonomic
nervous system to make the exact pharmacy of chemicals equal to the
substance
they think they're taking! Now, that's not light dinner conversation.
That means
then that that pill which is an inert substance is a symbol that
represents a possibility in the quantum field! And they begin to think about
that possibility called "getting well" And a certain % of those
people will begin to feel optimistic, enthusiastic, excited, inspired, and
they're combining a clear intention with an elevated emotion!
And they're beginning to reprogram their autonomic nervous system.
I mean, think about it. Over 80% of the people that are in a depression
study, brain scans before and after, 80% of those people have
a significant change equal to
people that are actually given the real substance. The people that are
given the placebo.
That means 4 out of 5 people are responding to the placebo
just like an antidepressant.
The brain scans at the end of 60 days
show a dramatic change in their brain.
That means they're making their own pharmacy of antidepressants by
thought alone!
