I think that most people try to create a new personal reality as the same
personality. That doesn't work you know. You literally have to become someone
else, so the process then, most people they're thinking the same thoughts,
they're making the same choices, they're demonstrating the same behaviors, they're
creating the same experiences that stamp the same networks of neurons into the
same patterns, all for the familiar feeling that they call themselves and if
you keep doing that over and over again. There's a principle in neuroscience that
says that nerve cells that fire together wire together. Mm-hmm. So people begin to
hardwire their brain into very finite signature into these automatic programs.
Turns out by the time we're 35 years old we become a set of memorized behaviors,
emotional reactions, beliefs, perceptions, unconscious attitudes that function just
like a computer program. So when people's want to change they're using 5% of their
conscious mind and they can think positively all they want, with the
programs running subconsciously telling them that they're negative. So, so
the only way to do that then is to get into the operating system and getting
into the operating system of of that the where those programs exists, requires
then people beginning to go do some inward work. If you sit down and you
disconnect from your outer world, you close your eyes, we play some music in
the background, you sit your body down not smelling anything or tasting
anything or experiencing anything or feeling anything and you're not thinking
about or anticipating the future or remembering the familiar past, that
moment, that elegant moment where you fall into the present moment is where
the magic happens. And so, after looking at enough brain scans in the process of
studying that transformation, I call that getting beyond yourself because
when you disconnect from your present personal reality and personality, now
you're ready to create something else. And so what thoughts do you want a fire
and wire in your brain? what behaviors do you want to
demonstrate in the act of rehearsing the behavior? It begins to install the
neurological hardware in your brain primes to look like the experience as
already happened. Your brain is organized to reflect everything you know in your
life. Your brain is a record of the past. It's an artifact of everything
you've learned an experience to this moment.
If feelings and emotions are the end product of past experiences, and we can
remember experiences better because we remember how they feel. So most people
wake up in the morning and they start remembering all their problems. And those
problems are connected to certain people and certain things at certain times and
places. The moment they start thinking about those problems they're thinking in
the past. Those problems have an emotion associated with them and the moment they
start feeling those emotions, the body as the unconscious mind doesn't know the
difference between an experience that's creating an emotion and the emotion the
person's fabricating by thought alone. Now thoughts are the language of the
brain and feelings are the language of the body. And how you think and how you
feel creates your state of being. So most people's the entire state of
being when they start the day is already in the past. So you have a choice. The
choice is you're either defined by a vision of the future or you're defined
by the memories of the past. And when you decide to say okay I'm gonna change and
you decide one thing I'm not gonna eat this food, I'm gonna wake up earlier, I'm
gonna do something aerobic, I'm not gonna have you sugar after six o'clock,
whatever it is, the person whatever choice a person makes. The moment you
make a choice to do something differently and the hardest part about
change is not making the same choices either the day before get ready because
it's going to feel uncomfortable it's going to feel unfamiliar there's going
to be some uncertainty and unpredictability and that's the moment
the game is on yes so then most people their their body has been conditioned
emotionally to be the mind so now this so the body says wow I'd rather hang on
to my guilt then take a chance and possibility I'd rather live in fear yes
then trust in the unknown so so once the feels uncomfortable the body goes whoa
wait a second we're out of the program here and body starts influencing the
minds right so it says start tomorrow you'll never change you don't have the
money to do this you're not good enough your mother told you or this your
father's fault it's your ex's fault you know all of the voices that come up now
here's the deal if you respond to those voices those same thoughts as if they're
true by the way they're always going on behind the scenes of your awareness but
now they're amplified because you're outside your comfort zone you believe in
that thought that thoughts gonna lead to the same choice which is gonna lead to
the same behavior which is gonna create the same experience and produce the same
emotion and the person's gonna say this feels right no no no that feels familiar
going from the old self to the new self is a neurological it's a biological as a
chemical so hormonal it's a genetic death of the old self and people will
say to me in that void in that unknown mm-hmm I can't predict my future and
I'll say to them the best way to predict your future is to create it and not from
the known but from the unknown of it so close your eyes now and think about that
vision hmm once you start thinking about that vision of your future you're
activating the creative centers in your brain mm-hmm and naturally you begin to
think about putting yourself in the scene yes and the act of doing that when
you're truly passionate and truly present the moment you're defined by
that vision when the thought in your mind becomes the experience you begin to
feel the emotion of the event before it's made manifest now you're giving
your body a sampling a taste of the future and now if a thought and a
feeling create a new state of being you're combining a clear intention with
an elevated emotion and now you're beginning to change your biology and
you're seeing a whole new landscape that you could never see before because
you're no longer viewing your future through the lens of the past I love this
now this this requires then something really specific because most people will
wait for theirs their wealth to feel abundance they'll wait for their success
to feel empowered they'll wait for their new relationship to feel love they'll
get all these things yes so so think about that the absence
of getting those things causes people to live in lack their entire lives right
and so they're waiting for something outside of them to change how they feel
inside of them and if they're not creating a new life then they're not
applying the proper principles then they keep all their manifestations all their
dreams that are in joints let's think about this you get up feeling gratitude
if you get up feeling empowered if you get up feeling whole if you get a
feeling unlimited mm-hmm why would you why would you worry about
whether it was gonna come or not you would feel like it already happens right
you just have to get beyond the memory of your past and all the associations to
create a new future now theoretically that sounds sounds really easily but
everybody's done it at least once or their life what's happen you get a wild
idea yeah you had a crazy idea and you think what would it be like to be happy
what would you like to be in love what would it be like to be rich with
whatever it is yes and you all of a sudden you ask that question mm-hmm and
you turn on the creative center in your brain that's right it turns on yes and
then now the frontal lobe is is that is the boss it's the CEO it's a symphony
leader in the frontal lobe as an executive has connections to all other
parts of the brain now when you ask that question it's got to answer it so it's
got to look out over the landscape and see what kind of raw materials do I have
well you only have a few things knowledge you've learned and experiences
you had so it begins to call up different networks of neurons and it
begins the seamlessly pieced them together and you get a vision in your
mind that's called intent hmm and if you're passionate you start to feel the
feelings of when it happens now you're giving your body that energetic boost
now everybody has done this the moment you've said that no one can talk you out
of it no person that's right no thing no experience it's you're possessed by it
so then what happens next you start writing down yeah all the choices you
need to make okay all the things you got to do all the goals and experiences you
want in your future and every time you write one of those goals or experiences
down you start to feel more of those emotions and now you're basically
assembling more of your future now the astute person does something really
amazing they start learning more information you want to be wealthy study
wealthy people you want to be healthy study healthy people as you begin to
gain more knowledge you're adding more stitches into the three-dimensional
tapestry and you got more raw materials you need to dream in new ways now here's
the part that that is the most important they got a piece of paper and say what
thoughts do I have to stop thinking you know I can't I'll start tomorrow and
it's too hard I don't feel like it I have a headache and I got to go to sleep
I'm tired list those thoughts here and become so conscious of those thoughts
that you would never let one of those thoughts slip by your awareness
unchecked by you
