There's an intelligence that's giving us life.
It's keeping my heart beating and digesting my food
and organizing trillions of functions per second in every cell of my body.
I'm not doing that.
I'm having a conversation with you as a free willed subjective
consciousness, but there is an intelligence within me that's always
endorsing who I'm being. and that intelligence is a giver of Life!
When your mind matches its mind, when your love for Life matches its
love for life,
it begins to work in ways that are mysterious!
Why is that important?
Because the mysterious is the unknown, and the unknown is unexpected,
and the unexpected should bring a surprise, and that surprise should be
outside of my current beliefs. If it's happening,
how could I expect the supernatural to happen
if I'm expecting it to happen? It's impossible.
But if I'm in the unknown and I'm open to possibility, then I should
be able to create an unknown experience that I can't predict the
emotion or the future event of how it's going to occur or when it's going
to occur.
It's not my job! And the side effect of that is this mysterious
surprise that changes my biology from the new experience. And then
causes me to change my beliefs! And I've had enough of my own mystical
moments.
It's in the midst of that
mystical experience I have said, in the midst of it:
I have this all wrong.
I have said it right in the midst of the experience.
I am doing this so wrong, because I was so programmed into this box of
belief. The only way the unexpected could happen is giving up
expectation, which means you have to surrender that belief. How it's
going to happen or when it's going to happen,
I can't predict that.
So then, that same Intelligence that's giving me life,
according to the quantum model of reality, is the same Intelligence
that's creating supernovas and causing flowers to bloom.
It's within us and all around us!
It's it's a very wave of quantum physics.
I can't control that.
I can't expect how the particle is going to appear or when it's going
to appear, but it's not my job.
My job is to move into different states of being and be open to the
mystery of how it's going to happen!
So,
if I said to you today that I had all the answers to everything,
I would certainly be limiting this conversation.
But I am open to the mystery of life. And the mystery of life
then means that if we're asking certain questions and we
even speculate that it's possible, and someone has to step out into out
of their present beliefs to see if it is.
And so, I'm not
interested in the natural,
I'm not interested in the normal.
I'm interested in the supernatural, the supernormal. And I believe from
my present state of ignorance
of course, if we're going to use the word "belief", that you don't have
to be a Buddhist monk,
you don't have to be a nun with 40 years of devotion,
you don't have to be a religious scholar,
you don't have to be a researcher,
you don't have to have a PhD to do this.
That common people around the world can do the uncommon. And if
they're given
the right understanding and the environment is set up where they
can begin the application of that,
and I have looked at over 1,000 brain scans of people in meditation, and I
can tell you that you and I are at our absolute best will get beyond
our analytical mind, when we get beyond ourselves.
That's the moment that the brain gets so organized
and so coherent, front of the brain is talking to the back of the brain, the
right side of the brain is talking to the left side.
I mean, there's this synchronization, psychic
union going on, a flow. And the person has tears of joy rolling down
their face. That gestalt moment, that transcendent event for the
person is completely subjective. But my interest is measuring that
subjective experience, and we're capturing amplitudes of energy in
people's brains that are 26,000 to 40,000
times normal during that experience. Now,
they can't make their brain do that.
It's happening to them! And the inner event that's happening to them is
more real than any past event.
And that's the moment
I know their belief is changing. And look, if we're measuring normal,
we're going to get normal.
I mean, for years the idea that you couldn't grow new
brain cells, or couldn't change the brain in some way,
that was a belief.
And you know why?
Because the scientists that was doing the experiment was studying
rodents in an unchanging environment.
How could there ever be any new connections or new circuitry or new
brain cells if there's no new experiences? So, I think
in the age of information, in the age of technology,
ignorance is a choice! And people are beginning to go:
Hey, I don't need my doctor to tell me about this.
I can get on the internet.
Hey, I'm going to read a book on quantum physics and I'm going to ask
the mysterious questions.
I'm going to step outside of convention myself.
So, once you step outside of a convention, you will be considered
foolhardy or insane. Until you're able to produce some type of change.
Then you're considered a saint, a holy man, a mystic, genius dare to be
original.
So I think the camp is divided in a very big way.
That's the reason why I'm doing all the measurements. Because I want,
people to understand that the person that healed themselves of
that condition, that traumatic brain injury,
I want to show you that their brain is better.
They're not just saying I feel better.
No, they are better!
I want them to see that.
Now, they didn't do that with a drug.
They didn't do that with
therapy, they didn't do that with anything except by thought alone.
And they made those biological changes.
So to answer the question, the camp is divided in many ways.
The old paradigms and then the new understandings and the new paradigms.
And then there's this little kind of bridge in between, and we're only
as good
as a people that are willing to execute it.
In other words, you got to be skilled at this, right?
You got to be skilled at this!
So, if you're not skilled at it, we're not going to see any changes.
So imagine 500 people or 450 people coming to an event or
workshop, and we are going to help them cross that river, and to become
conscious of their unconscious thoughts. You know, the ones that say:
You can't, it's too hard,
this will never happen,
I can't change, I'm to this,
I'm too old,
I'm too that. Get beyond of what
their habits are, what they say
unconsciously, do they complain,
do they blame, do they make excuses,
do they feel sorry for themselves?
That's the program. They talk about others. And look at their emotional states.
Oh my God, I love been guilty for the last 30 years.
I didn't even know
I was guilty.
It just felt like me.
I've been unworthy.
I didn't even know
I was unworthy, it just felt like who I am. And all of a sudden, they
start becoming conscious of that. And then they start creating a new
change for themselves. And one by one,
you start seeing these breakthroughs, you start measuring those
breakthroughs.
You have people on the stage
talk about the breakthroughs. Show
their brain scan, show their heart rate monitor, show their energy change.
And I guarantee you, just like an infection can create a
disease in a community,
I believe that wellness can be as infectious as disease!
And you start seeing dramatic changes happening in a small community
of people who are outside of the conditioning of their
environment. The science has to be done to measure it, but the
measurements are only as good as our students.
And if they're not doing the work, if they're not developing the
ability to sustain brainwave states, if they're not getting beyond
their analytical mind,
because what separates the conscious mind from the subconscious mind
is the analytical mind. And if a person doesn't get beyond the
analytical mind, they'll still think within their belief.
And I've measured enough brains to tell you is that when you think
within your belief, or you think within those limited emotions,
you are going to make your brain worse, without a doubt!
It's only when you transcend that analytical mind that you start
falling in
to those subconscious programs. And you begin to step into the
autonomic nervous system where you can change your chemistry and your biology.
So then, if our students aren't good at doing that, then it's still a
philosophical concept, pie-in-the-sky principles.
But what we want to do is we want to give people the knowledge, the
information, and blend the sciences of possibility, whether it's
quantum physics, or neuroplasticity, or neuroendocrinology,
or epigenetics, or whatever it is,
hormonal changes,
psychoneuroimmunology. We want to give them the information and have
them reason it.
We want them to be able to turn to someone next to them and
explain what they just learned.
So they wire in there.
We want to give him the instruction and have them review the
instruction, and then we want to put them into the experience.
Not everybody is going to have the experience.
But all we need is a few.
And if that person or series of people have that experience, that
transformation, and we measure that transformation,
that's more information to teach transformation the next time! Because
I can understand what took place.
So, our work is only as good as our student's ability to
regulate and change those states. But I do know that if you give
people the opportunity, and they have enough times in their environment
to apply it, you'll start seeing those transformations occur!
And now we're stepping outside the paradigm of the human beings are limited,
they're powerless, they need these external things to take care of them.
I think it's time that we start taking a bit more
responsibility for these things and seeing if we're able to do it in a
practical, measurable way.
My God, I mean we're programmable human beings.
If my doctor's enthusiastic about a new drug,
I'm going to be enthusiastic too. But you know that blue pills work
better than red pills.
We know that if you name a drug that a person can't
pronounce, they're going to be intimidated by the drug and they're
going to surrender to it.
If you charge more for the drug, it's going to work better.
We just know these things.
So, there's programmable things that are evident. But then
there are some very hard science things as well.
You know, a placebo works really well for pain.
Placebo works really well for anxiety.
Placebo works very well for inflammation.
Placebo works very well for well-being.
We know that.
But in doing the research that we did and understanding how the
placebo works and then teaching it,
I am very pleasantly surprised that the effects that we produce that
or way outside of what I expected.
So, the person's belief then that they could get better from their
condition has added to the effect that they got better from their
condition.
So to me,
there's so much of it that is belief.
Look, do I believe that germs create disease? Hardly! If I believe that germs
create disease and I was nervous about germs everywhere,
in the crazy clinic that
I used to be in quite a bit, that we have and run, with the hundreds and
hundreds of people are moving through there, snot flying everywhere,
if I believed in germs, I would be sick every day!
I just don't believe that
I'm susceptible to germs and that
I need a flu shot.
I don't believe that!
I just don't! And I've never had a flu shot and I very rarely get sick,
but that's my belief.
But some people believe that they need the flu shot.
But now, it's programmed
for a lot of people to think if they don't get the flu shot,
they're going to get sick.
So, you watch a television commercial, and television commercials are...
Pay attention - they're dreams! Pay attention,
they're going to create some weird dreamy state.
There's going to be some emotion that's created.
And the moment the emotion is created,
there's going to be a brand or symbol, that's called programming!
And so, people stare into a tube
and they are in trance, and their brain's in Alpha, and they're
accepting all of this information. And they have a headache,
and the first thing they do is they think of what's going to take their
headache away, based on what they've been exposed to.
Now, you would say that's free will.
That's not free will, that's informed choice based on what you know.
Free will is based on the unknown!
