What is greatness?
Okay.
I like what this person said,
I like what that person said,
I look what I read here.
I love my experience of when I've demonstrated it. And the frontal lobe is
going to create a beautiful, beautiful understanding of how to
evolve your experience.
And when you, no different than learning how to dance, learning a sport,
learning lines
if you're an actor and actress, a musician, you rehearse all the time.
And the rehearsal is actually priming the brain for the experience!
So, now your brain is ready for the day.
It's different than just going oh,
I'm not going to react to my boss.
Well, you haven't done the work to come up with how to overcome that.
And then, what did you installed
so you have circuit, you have raw materials to use.
Now, here's the hardest part.
Can you teach your body emotionally
what it would feel like if you arrived at your future?
And can you say: I'm not going to get up until I feel that way?
Now this is good work here! Because you'll have to come up with
that emotion and
get beyond the shame, the guilt, unworthiness, the pain, the suffering.
And this is battle.
This is battle because your brain is going to keep going to something
that's gonna want to make you feel the way... Then the analytical mind is
going to say:
You can't do this,
it's too hard,
why don't you quit?
That's where everybody
stops, but right on the other side of that is love. Right on the other
side of that is gratitude, right on the other side of that is freedom.
So then, if the person's willing to go a little further and practice a
way to do that, and they could get in touch with that emotion, and they
can feel it,
and when I
feel it,
I always say,
usually when it's really good
I say: Remember this feeling, memorize this feeling, memorize it!
I want to take a snapshot of that feeling.
I want to, I want to know.
I want to be able to bring this feeling up on command.
So I'll let it go and then I'll go back and say: Let me see if I can
do it again.
Why am I trying to do it again? To remember! Remembering is creating a
circuitry to be able to produce it again.
It's going to become a skill!
Now
I have something to walk into my condition in my life where I'm
reacting.
And now I have a plan,
I've primed my brain and body to the future instead of the past.
I've suppressed the past.
So now I have, I'm closing my eyes disconnecting from the environment,
overcoming my body,
not thinking about the predictable future or the familiar past and time.
I'm in the present moment.
I'm ready to create! Why?
Because I want to present myself to the world as an evolved version of
yesterday.
I would say: At what point are you done feeling that emotion?
You want to keep feeling it? You're not doing anything wrong,
you're just taking too long.
I mean, like, I'm not going to tell you to not feel an emotion.
I feel emotions
but again, I'm just going to move through them.
I'm super passionate person.
And if I'm going in, I'm going all-in.
I'm not going halfway. But when I feel and I can catch myself, that's
pretty cool.
Because now I can change it.
No one or nothing is doing that to me.
I'll feel it.
I'm not sitting there going: Grrr,
I'm not doing that.
There's no tool set
there, I'm steeping in the emotion.
That's not it.
I'm saying:
Ok, I'm angry, in this moment in eternity
Joe Dispenza,
what do you got?
What do you got?
This is the moment you're gonna remember. Because people who heal,
people who have transcendental moments, people who break through,
people who have the wealth, the freedom, when they look back at their
life and they see all the days they chose themselves to show up for
their meditation,
when they look back at those past moments, they're not looking
back at the easy meditations.
They're not fall in love with the person who had the good meditations,
they fall in love with a person
who sat in the fire!
They remember those moments where they were like: I didn't give up on me!
I believed in myself,
I believe there was something on the other side of this feeling.
I stuck with it.
And all of a sudden it starts to change. And for some people it takes
longer than others, but they're on it.
And so then, when they look back at their past and they see all those
times it was hard
and they went a little further, they're going to fall in love with
that person! And now their future self
who's already transformed is drawing their past self to them in love!
There's a future you
that already exists.
You just gotta get there.
And he's in love with you! And the only way we're going to get there is
by you being in love with you.
Yeah, but so then, what is love then?
So then, people think, they've confused love with pleasure.
Like a manicure or shopping spree.
That's not love.
That's pleasure.
And the more whole we are, the less need for pleasure
we have. You sit in the fire,
I watched 1.025 people last week transform
themselves. In the beginning,
I was trying to find a door,
I was bouncing off, just wouldn't quit. And then
they started doing the work.
They came up against themselves,
they got frustrated, they got impatient,
I kept reminding them their brain's going into high Beta,
their arousal is driving them further out of balance and they started
tempering the animal. And they started, I took them a little further,
and they sat through the fire. And all of a sudden, it wasn't about the
mystical experience, it wasn't about the wealth, it was about learning the
formula.
It wasn't about what they wanted.
It was about overcoming themselves and learning the formula on how,
in that moment,
if they could just relax and keep practicing, that little box begins to
expand and now there's more room for them to relax in the
unknown.
I've stretched them outside of the known and they survived. And they
keep stretching them.
And all of a sudden,
they are more present. And so, they wanted
to come to the edge in the next meditation and go a little
further. It was no longer me saying you got to go.
They wanted the edge.
They wanted to see what was standing in the way between them and their
new relationship, them and their healing.
What was that thing that I want to remove?
I'm going to... If not now, when?
So, they wanted to take it on because they forgot about their cell phones,
we did it during the week of election.
Nobody would care about us.
They didn't care about the election,
they didn't care about any disease,
they were immersed and they retreated from their lives.
Now, back to your question.
I guarantee you, those people when they face circumstances in their life
now, they're ready for their environment!
In fact, they've lowered the volume to so many of those emotions when
people as lash out at them, they're going to go:
Oh, come here.
Are you hurting?
Get over here,
I'll give you a hug!
Not like oh you know, they're not going to do that.
They're gonna be like: Come here,
I love you, get over here,
are you okay?
There's not that anywhere.
They've kind of ready.
So the formula then, to answer your question, is brain and heart
coherence.
And when you're in stress and you're in survival, when you're in
danger, the arousal of the stress hormones creates
heightening of our senses.
And we become materialists.
And we narrow our focus on the material world and that's the reality now.
And when we start trying to control reality and predict it, and we
have the perception that things are getting worse,
all of a sudden we're shifting our attention to one person, to another
person, to another problem,
to another thing, to another text. And every one of those things,
there's a neurological network in the brain.
So the arousal of the stress hormones causes the brain to start firing
incoherently.
And now there's no energy in the brain! Because the incoherence is
diminishing energy.
It's waves that are
canceling each other out.
The brain goes into like this.
Qui essence of no activity, but very little
performance.
So then, we said: Okay, let's teach people how to take their attention
off of everything known in this memory bank of the known self, the
autobiographical self, the artifact of the past.
Let's teach them how to go from a narrow object focus on anything
material
that's known in this 3-dimensional reality
to broadening their focus, to putting their attention on energy,
nothing, space, and going from a convergent focus to a divergent focus.
And opening their focus.
We started noticing that the brain started to synchronize,
the different compartments started to unify and the brain started
functioning in a more holistic state. And the person started feeling
more chilled, more poised, more clear. And what sinks in the brain
links in the brain.
So, you start seeing this kind of integration. And we can call people on
the stage
now and I can say: Would you show the audience on a brain scan how
to go in the Gamma?
Give me one second.
Boom, they go right in the Gamma.
Can you show them how to go on the Alpha coherent brain wave
patterns?
Give me a minute.
Alpha is like that creative state when the brain starts slowing
down analytical processing. Gamma is what? It's like super
consciousness,
that's the big stuff.
So when you disconnect from your environment and you close your eyes
and there's less stimulation coming, and we play music in the background,
you're not eating,
you're not smelling, you're not tasting, you're not feeling,
there's less sensory information,
naturally
this mechanism starts to slow down.
And so, there's less information.
You go into Alpha and you cross the analytical mind. And what separates
the conscious mind from the subconscious mind is the analytical mind.
So now you're suppressing the analytical mind that's saying:
You can't, is too hard.
The voice goes away. In an Alpha now, we're not looking for any kind of Alpha,
we're looking for coherent Alpha.
So, as they open their focus and they sense space, the act of sensing
and feeling causes them to stop thinking and analyzing.
So you start seeing energy leave the neocortex, right?
If they do it really well and the body starts to fall asleep, or it
feels so comfortable that it can rest in the present moment, and let it
almost fall asleep and you're still conscious and awake,
now you're in Theta!
That's a hypnotic state.
Your body's like vibrating almost?
The door between the conscious mind
and the subconscious mind is wide open.
It's very programmable!
The formula is when you sense, you'll watch, we do this naturally
when we go to bed at night.
But now we're just taking it down the steps
so you know the terrain, how to get there. In Theta,
when you're in that state, you can reprogram, you can rewrite the program.
It's easier because you're out of this thinking brain. So we
shouldn't be thinking
to reprogram? You'll be rehearsing.
You'll see yourself doing something.
What should we rehearse?
Whatever you want.
What do you want?
You want to be an excellent handball player?
You got to rehearse. You visualize what you want to create?
You imagine. But it's better to do it when your body is very
relaxed. Or better yet,
you forgot about your body.
That's a better way of saying.
So then, when that Theta happens, people are usually sitting like this
looking at the television,
just before they go to bed at night,
they're half awake in they're
half asleep. And they're telling them: You need a flu shot,
you need this drug,
you have this problem, eat this food...
It's going in,
the analytical facilities are in the backseat,
they're getting programmed to make that choice!
They're getting programmed in some way.
So, they're are suggestible to information.
So now, you could be suggestible to your own auto-suggestions or
information that you would want to rewrite as a program.
So, if you said in Alpha or Theta: I'm just not happy with how I did
with my kids today.
I need another shot at it. And you're relaxed, and you're present,
and you start reviewing how you're going to be with them,
I guarantee you, you start installing hardware there, you start
rewriting the program. And your so present that you can go through it.
And you go through it
the next time, it's a little easier.
You go through it the next time, it's a little easier. You go through it the next time,
your mind starts to wander, you catch yourself, you come back.
You do it again.
Well, what are you doing?
You're rewriting the program and installing it, firing and wiring!
