We're changing our brain and body to live in that future present
reality so that you feel connected to the future instead of the past.
And when you're connected to the past, you're looking for it.
And if you're looking for it, you're separate from it.
If you're being it, then there's a complete change in energy!
And nobody changes until they change their energy.
And when you change your energy, you change your life.
After 8.500 brain scans, I can tell you that you and I are at our
absolute best
when we get beyond ourselves, that is the elegant moment where we are
free enough to create without any encumbrances.
The majority of our thoughts and feelings are connected to our
sexuality, to our victimization, our guilt, our suffering,
our shame, our unworthiness, our self-doubt, or our importance, our
control, our fear, our anger, our frustration, our hatred, our judgment.
Those are the first 3 hormonal centers in the body.
And those first 3 centers have everything to do with survival.
And those centers are energy consumers.
Orgasm, digestion, stress is a lot of energy that we're drawing from
our very vital life force, a resource of light and information, and
we're turning it into chemistry.
And we're literally robbing the body's energy, right?
So then, living like that for the short term is okay because the body
can move back to homeostasis, it can restore itself.
But when we're overdoing that consistently, then there's no energy for
growth and repair. Because you're living constantly in survival.
So again, you can eat all the right food, you can do all the right things,
but if you're living in anxiety and fear, and you're viewing your world
from the worst-case scenario that could possibly happen, because that's
what you do in survival, there's no energy for growth and repair.
There's no energy for healing.
So the majority of our thoughts are signalling
certain circuits in the brain that signal another part of the brain,
a limbic brain, to make what's called a neuropeptide.
Neuropeptides are chemical messengers that signal hormonal centers.
So now you're taking thought and you're storing it as energy in these
energy centers.
And if you're living in survival, why would you open your heart?
I mean, it's just not a time to open your heart.
I mean, if you're getting chased by T-rex it's not a time to meditate,
it's not time to learn, it's not a time to connect, it's not a time to
communicate, it's not a time to sit down and go within, it's not a time
to be vulnerable, it's time to run, fight, or hide.
Survival has been very adaptive because if you're being chased
by T-rex, you don't run up to T-rex and say: Oh, cute little dinosaur,
let me pet you.
That's not adaptive.
And fear is adaptive.
You run from the unknown, you run from challenges, right?
So, if you're living in survival, there are better chances of surviving
if you run from the unknown.
And by the way, when you're living in survival, out of the infinite potentials in the
quantum field
you'll select the worst-case scenario in your mind and you'll begin to
emotionally prepare yourself for the worst-case scenario. Because you
have better chances of surviving
if you prepare for the worst, right?
So people spend their whole life thinking about the worst thing and
emotionally embracing it. Well, you take a thought and emotion, or an
image and emotion,
you're branding or conditioning your body into what?
Anxiety.
Into fear.
So then, you keep doing that over and over again, over and over again,
the body becomes the mind of fear.
And whether you think you can control it or not, you're going to have
a panic attack.
And the panic attack is the body saying: You've conditioned me this way.
Try as you may with your conscious mind to control it,
you programmed it subconsciously.
Then you start worrying about the next panic attack.
And it's that very anticipation
that keeps the person on the hamster wheel. So they don't believe
in possibility when they're living in that state because in survival,
it's not a time to create.
All the blood flow is going to the hind brain and away from the
fore brain.
There's no physiology really for a person to begin to create a new future.
So think about it.
So then, 70% of the time people in the world are living anticipating
the next moment based on their past moment.
And so, they're laying reality down moment by moment with the next
known, the next predictable moment.
And so, the hormones of stress endorse the senses.
Our senses become heightened when we're under stress and we become
materialists.
We narrow our focus on the danger.
So then, you're focusing on matter,
you're focusing on the material world.
And when you do that, you put all your attention, the arousal of the
stress hormones puts all your attention on your body.
If you're being chased by T-rex,
you better be paying attention to your body.
When people start reaching this moment, my goodness, they're
overcoming themselves. And now
they're at that perfect place to create.
And my definition of creation is when I forget about myself.
That's when you're free.
So, some people can do it because they've
practiced it.
Other people can't get beyond the addiction of a certain emotion.
That means their body is still their mind.
So then, if you're sitting in meditation and your body is throwing
the kitchen sink at you and saying: Ed, you're a loser.
You're never going to change.
This is too hard,
why don't you quit?
And you're aware that that's your body doing that.
And you say to your body: We're going to sit here, and we're going to
sit in this fire, and I'm going to keep applying the formula, and my
brain starts running into all the emails you have to do.
And you become aware of that, and you return back to the present
moment, and you tell the body it's no longer the mind that you're the mind,
now your will is getting greater than that program!
And there's a liberation of energy.
And every time you do that, that's a victory.
When you say, when you want to get up and you want to quit, and you go:
That's my body,
bring it back.
And now you're taming the animal.
The body is the animal.
Like a dog,
you sit. And if you keep doing this, keep doing this, you're
climbing on top, and the body finally acquiesces.
It finally says: I'm not going anywhere.
And then, boom.
There's this liberation of energy.
What's the side effect?
Joy.
Person's heart just automatically opens up.
And every time they do that, those victories add up.
There's no such thing as a bad meditation.
There's only overcoming yourself.
And when you sit in the fire and you work with that, people say to me:
Why do you meditate every morning?
I say: Because if I can overcome myself in the morning, the rest of my
day is easy.
It's easy! Because that's what it's about.
You master yourself, you master your life.
And so then, all the chatter in your head that you listen to all-day
long, that is called the default mode network in the brain.
Our research shows that shuts off. Not just shuts off during the
meditation, it stays shut off for the rest of the day.
So the critic in your head that's telling you this will never happen,
you don't have enough time, there's no voice there.
So you just have a clear flow of where you're going and you trust
yourself more.
So then, when you start practicing, creating that brain and heart
coherence, you can believe in the future that you can't see or experience
with your senses yet, but you've thought about enough
times in your mind that it's actually, there's physical evidence in
your brain to look like it's already happened.
And you can begin to understand,
you can select a new potential in the quantum field and every day
emotionally embrace that future reality to such a degree that your
body begins to believe it's living in that future reality in the
present moment! And you're signaling new genes in new ways to change
your body to look like it's already happened.
Now, think about this.
If there's physical evidence by thought alone in your brain and body
to look like your wealth or your future has already happened, it's
already happened.
And you're already it.
So it's not about your wealth.
It's not about your health.
It's not about your freedom.
It's who you become!
So then, as you overcome, overcome, overcome, overcome, you become
someone else.
And so, most people don't understand that
the truth is that every time you overcome yourself a little bit more,
the side effect is that you love yourself a little bit more.
And so, the self-love is no longer
about pleasure or having a car.
It's something that you're cultivating within you.
So then, imagine. We have research to show, and this is such a
duality, that when you start seeing the brain start
synchronizing, getting coherent, the front of the brain and the back
of the brain, 2 hemispheres coming together.
And we can say to scientists that come and study our work: Oh, watch this.
Ed is going to pop up.
What do you mean?
Just watch.
This is going to be good.
And all of a sudden, you see this brain going into this kind of
psychic union.
The heart blows wide open.
You see coherence going on. And you look around at that person and
there's tears running down their face.
Imagine feeling so whole that it's impossible to want.
I mean, how can you want when you're whole?
Because you feel like you already have it.
Now, when you reach that point, that's when the magic happens.
Because now you are worthy to receive!
And the Universe only gives us what we think we're worthy of receiving.
Yeah, I think you know, for me I mean, I'm curious and I'm a
pragmatist.
I mean, if you tell me something, all I want to know is how I'm going
to use it in my life.
And I'm not into dinner conversation because nobody changes from that,
you know?
I mean, I'm a doer and I want to be around doers. And you create a group of
people that are passionate about transformation,
and they've done some of the work,
when we were doing our 4-day, 4 and a half day advanced
workshops, right around the end of the event, I was seeing people
starting to see some really great transformations.
And I thought, this is the pop.
Yeah, it's a pop.
Big pops.
And we had to send them home.
And I was like: Oh God, if I could just have them for a week.
So we created these week-long events where people retreat from their
lives. And they removed the constant stimulation in their external
environment that reminds them of who they think they are as a
personality.
They separate themselves from the people they know, and the places they
go, and the things
that they do at a certain amount of time in their routine, mundane life.
So, we'll bridge a little quantum physics, a little neuroscience,
a little neuroendocrinology, a little epigenetics,
psycho-neuroimiology,
those are all sciences about possibility.
And I now know that if you can give people sound scientific
information, for me that's the language I know.
And then if they can turn to the person next to them and explain it,
you're not going to get off the hook. If you can't explain it
it's not wired in your brain.
But if you can build a model and explain it, you're installing the
neurological hardware in your brain in preparation for the experience.
So the more you understand what you're doing and why, the "how" it gets
easier because you can assign meaning to it.
So then, if I can set up the conditions and the environment and give
them the proper instructions and push the envelope a little bit, and
people who get their behaviors to match their intentions and
their actions equal to their thoughts, they get their mind and body
working together, they're going to have a new experience.
And the experience then is not only going to enrich the philosophical circuits
in their brain, because experience does that, but it's going to produce
an emotion!
So, they're going to start feeling more unlimited.
They're going to start feeling more free.
And now they're teaching their body chemically to understand what
their mind is intellectually understood.
So, if you've done it once, you should be able to do it again.
You have the recipe.
You have the formula.
So, if you can repeat it, you will neurochemically condition your mind
and body to begin to work as one.
In other words, the body will start to learn how to do it as well as
the mind.
And you don't have to consciously think about it any longer, so it gets easier.
