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 when we
get beyond our analytical mind, when we get beyond ourselves!
That's the moment that the brain gets so organized
and so coherent, the front of the brain is talking to the back of the brain,
the right side
of the brain is talking to the left side of the brain.
There's this synchronization, this psychic
union going on. 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
1,000 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.
I think there's a strong intellectual division going on in the world
right now. Because some people are holding on to old paradigms and
old beliefs.
And look, if we're measuring normal,
we're going to get normal.
I mean, for years, 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 and read it.
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. And 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 a 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.
S,o imagine for 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 too this,
I'm too old,
I'm too that... Get beyond what
their habits are, what they say
unconsciously,
do they complain?
Do they blame, do they make excuses,
do they feel sorry for themselves? Those are the programs.
Do they talk about others?
Then look at their emotional states.
Oh my God, I've 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 do 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 whateverit 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 it 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 see if we're able to do it in a practical, measurable way.
We're doing everything we can to say: Are we doing this right?
But we are capturing anomalous things.
And those anomalous things are causing people to scratch
their head.
I mean as an example, you'll see a strip chart on a brain scan and
you'll see like - oh that's Beta, oh that's Alpha,
oh there's Theta going on.
Oh a little Gamma there. But when you're studying brain waves and also
if you took a group of crayola crayons and you went like that, and it
just look like snow storm where you couldn't see any measurements,
how are you going to measure that? We had to go through this whole process
of figuring out a way to measure the amount of energy in a person's
brain, their entire brain when that occurs.
And so, we've had to figure out ways for understanding, because we're
measuring the supernatural to just go:
Wow, that's a lot of energy in a person's brain.
Have you ever seen that before?
No, that looks like it could be a seizure! Oh really?
Well, that person's wearing an HRV monitor.
If they're having a seizure, their heart would be going crazy.
But for one hour, the heart is in absolute love.
That's anomalous.
It only takes a few of those and you start scratching your head and
saying: Well God, we've been so conditioned,
we're studying normal so much,
we're studying depression, we're studying anxiety, cyclic mood problems,
traumatic brain injuries,
we're studying normals. And I'm not interested in normal.
I'm not interested in natural.
I'm interested in supernatural and supernormal!
And that stuff means that if that person once, twice, three times, we were
seeing it over and over again,
we're seeing a trend now.
Well, if it's happening over and over again,
then we know that something is possible for a human being! And when you
see those energetic changes in the brain and the person who's had
uterine fibroids, or chronic pain, or serious depression
in one meditation and come out of that meditation and be healed,
that's because the inner event was real!
They were having a full-on sensory experience without their senses and
that's the transformation!
