00:00:12,310 --> 00:00:14,440
Why is change so hard?

3
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:18,160
And why do so many people talk
about a better future, a better

4
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,560
body, or a better
mindset, but yet they

5
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:25,330
can't seem to actually
change on a deeper level?

6
00:00:25,330 --> 00:00:30,750
Why do so many of us wait
for crisis, trauma, disease,

7
00:00:30,750 --> 00:00:35,610
diagnosis, betrayal,
or even loss

8
00:00:35,610 --> 00:00:38,450
to finally make up
our mind to change?

9
00:00:38,450 --> 00:00:40,620
I believe that we
can learn and change

10
00:00:40,620 --> 00:00:42,950
in a state of pain
and suffering.

11
00:00:42,950 --> 00:00:46,910
Or we can learn and change in
a state of joy and inspiration.

00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,320
And in the previous
episode, we went into depth

15
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,810
on how the brain works from
a scientific point of view.

16
00:00:57,810 --> 00:01:00,680
Now I want to show you
how the brain and the body

17
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:05,150
react to change and what that
biological model looks like.

18
00:01:05,150 --> 00:01:08,990
This episode will help you
understand a fundamental part

19
00:01:08,990 --> 00:01:11,780
of what it means to
become supernatural

20
00:01:11,780 --> 00:01:16,580
so that you as the viewer can
move past the pain of yesterday

21
00:01:16,580 --> 00:01:18,470

24
00:01:36,910 --> 00:01:39,070
What is change?

25
00:01:39,070 --> 00:01:41,980
Let's assume that your
thoughts have something

26
00:01:41,980 --> 00:01:43,930
to do with your
destiny or your future,

27
00:01:43,930 --> 00:01:47,670
that you believe that your
thoughts create your life.

28
00:01:47,670 --> 00:01:50,230
In the last episode,
I mentioned that you

29
00:01:50,230 --> 00:01:54,760
think 60,000 to 70,000
thoughts in one day.

30
00:01:54,760 --> 00:02:00,100
And 90% of those thoughts are
the same thoughts as the day

31
00:02:00,100 --> 00:02:01,450
before.

32
00:02:01,450 --> 00:02:03,910
So if you believe that your
thoughts have something

33
00:02:03,910 --> 00:02:07,750
to do with your future,
and 90% of those thoughts

34
00:02:07,750 --> 00:02:11,440
are exactly the same as the
day before, then it makes sense

35
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,870
then your life or
your future isn't

36
00:02:13,870 --> 00:02:18,510
going to change very much
because the same thoughts

37
00:02:18,510 --> 00:02:21,450
always lead to the same choices.

38
00:02:21,450 --> 00:02:25,320
The same choices always
lead to the same behaviors.

39
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:29,410
The same behaviors create
the exact same experiences.

40
00:02:29,410 --> 00:02:33,510
And the same experiences
produce the same emotions.

41
00:02:33,510 --> 00:02:36,030
And those same emotions
begin to influence

42
00:02:36,030 --> 00:02:38,010
your very same thoughts.

43
00:02:38,010 --> 00:02:41,830
And everything in your
biology stays the same.

44
00:02:41,830 --> 00:02:46,890
Your neurocircuitry, your
neurochemistry, your hormones,

45
00:02:46,890 --> 00:02:52,360
and even your gene expression
is equal to how you think,

46
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:56,670
how you act, and how you feel.

47
00:02:56,670 --> 00:03:00,670
And how you think, how
you act, and how you feel

48
00:03:00,670 --> 00:03:02,380
is called your "personality."

49
00:03:02,380 --> 00:03:04,270
And your personality
is intimately

50
00:03:04,270 --> 00:03:08,920
connected to your life
or your personal reality.

51
00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:10,840
Reason this with me.

52
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,350
There's a principle in
neuroscience called Hebb's law.

53
00:03:14,350 --> 00:03:18,100
And Hebb's law says that
nerve cells that fire together

54
00:03:18,100 --> 00:03:19,880
wire together.

55
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,590
So if you keep thinking
the same thoughts,

56
00:03:23,590 --> 00:03:26,470
making the same
choices, demonstrating

57
00:03:26,470 --> 00:03:30,310
the same behaviors, creating
the same experiences,

58
00:03:30,310 --> 00:03:34,120
and producing the same feelings
and emotions for the last 10

59
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,000
years, it makes
sense then you're

60
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,540
going to begin to hardwire
your brain into a very

61
00:03:40,540 --> 00:03:42,910
finite signature.

62
00:03:42,910 --> 00:03:48,700
And that box in your brain by
the time you're 35 years old

63
00:03:48,700 --> 00:03:51,940
becomes a very hardwired
set of programs.

64
00:03:51,940 --> 00:03:56,110
That becomes your
identity or personality.

65
00:03:56,110 --> 00:03:59,770
And that 35-year-old mark
means that most people

66
00:03:59,770 --> 00:04:02,080
by the time they
reach that age become

67
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,740
a set of memorized behaviors,
unconscious emotional

68
00:04:05,740 --> 00:04:10,880
reactions, automatic habits,
hardwired attitudes, beliefs,

69
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:16,269
and perceptions that function
just like a computer program.

70
00:04:16,269 --> 00:04:19,029
So now when a person
decides to change

71
00:04:19,029 --> 00:04:22,240
and they're using 5%
of their conscious mind

72
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:27,640
to go against what they've
memorized subconsciously 95%,

73
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,670
they can think
positively all they want.

74
00:04:30,670 --> 00:04:32,830
But that thought
will actually never

75
00:04:32,830 --> 00:04:35,680
make it past their brain
stem into their body

76
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,080
because their thought
is saying one thing,

77
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,690
and their body has been
conditioned into the past.

78
00:04:41,690 --> 00:04:46,570
So I assert that if you're
not using your thoughts

79
00:04:46,570 --> 00:04:49,450
to be defined by a
vision of the future

80
00:04:49,450 --> 00:04:51,880
to create a new
life, then you're

81
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,670
left with the
memories of your past.

82
00:04:54,670 --> 00:04:58,500

00:05:00,850 --> 00:05:02,440
So most people then--

85
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,830
when they wake up in the
morning, they're a clean slate.

86
00:05:05,830 --> 00:05:07,450
They're not thinking anything.

87
00:05:07,450 --> 00:05:09,620
They're not feeling anything.

88
00:05:09,620 --> 00:05:12,910
In a matter of moments,
because the brain

89
00:05:12,910 --> 00:05:15,100
is a record of the
past, they start

90
00:05:15,100 --> 00:05:18,220
thinking about those problems,
those problems in their life

91
00:05:18,220 --> 00:05:21,370
that are associated with certain
people and certain objects

92
00:05:21,370 --> 00:05:25,420
and certain things at
certain times and places.

93
00:05:25,420 --> 00:05:28,840
The moment they start
thinking about those problems,

94
00:05:28,840 --> 00:05:31,030
they're thinking in
the past because they

95
00:05:31,030 --> 00:05:33,940
are memories from the past.

96
00:05:33,940 --> 00:05:37,240
And every single one of
those conditions or problems

97
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,620
has an emotion
associated with them.

98
00:05:39,620 --> 00:05:42,220
And the definition of
a feeling or an emotion

99
00:05:42,220 --> 00:05:45,070
is a record of a
past experience.

100
00:05:45,070 --> 00:05:48,820
And the moment they get in touch
with those familiar feelings,

101
00:05:48,820 --> 00:05:51,398
and those feelings are
driving their thoughts,

102
00:05:51,398 --> 00:05:53,440
and you believe that your
thoughts have something

103
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,290
to do with your destiny,
we could say then

104
00:05:56,290 --> 00:05:58,510
they're thinking in the past.

105
00:05:58,510 --> 00:06:00,760
And as long as they're
thinking in the past,

106
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,480
their past will always
be their future.

107
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,450
Now, certain people--
they get caught

108
00:06:07,450 --> 00:06:09,670
in these loops of thinking
and feeling and feeling

109
00:06:09,670 --> 00:06:11,840
and thinking.

110
00:06:11,840 --> 00:06:13,990
Now, why does this happen?

111
00:06:13,990 --> 00:06:16,510
If feelings and emotions
are the end product

112
00:06:16,510 --> 00:06:20,680
of past experiences, and
you can remember experiences

113
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,920
better because you can
remember how they feel,

114
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,980
we could say then that
the stronger the emotion

115
00:06:26,980 --> 00:06:30,820
you feel from some problem
or condition in your life,

116
00:06:30,820 --> 00:06:34,120
the more altered you feel
inside of you, the more it's

117
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,118
going to wake you up.

118
00:06:35,118 --> 00:06:36,910
And you're going to
pay attention to what's

119
00:06:36,910 --> 00:06:40,070
causing it outside of you.

120
00:06:40,070 --> 00:06:43,030
And when you narrow
your focus on the cause,

121
00:06:43,030 --> 00:06:47,390
the brain freezes an
image and takes a picture.

122
00:06:47,390 --> 00:06:51,530
And that picture becomes the
memory embossed in the brain.

123
00:06:51,530 --> 00:06:55,100
Now people tend to
think neurologically

124
00:06:55,100 --> 00:06:58,130
within the circuits of
that past experience.

125
00:06:58,130 --> 00:07:01,280
And they tend to feel within the
boundaries of those emotions,

126
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:02,990
which are chemicals.

127
00:07:02,990 --> 00:07:05,750
And of course, how they
think and how they feel

128
00:07:05,750 --> 00:07:08,360
becomes their state of being.

129
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:12,530
And you can say to a person,
why are you this way?

130
00:07:12,530 --> 00:07:16,910
And they will say, I am this
way because of some experience

131
00:07:16,910 --> 00:07:20,810
that happened to
me 35 years ago.

132
00:07:20,810 --> 00:07:23,870
And what they're saying
from biological standpoint--

133
00:07:23,870 --> 00:07:27,980
that 35 years ago, they had
an event that altered them.

134
00:07:27,980 --> 00:07:32,880
And they have not been
able to change since.

135
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,240
Now, the latest
research on memory

136
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:41,420
says that 50% of what you
talk about in your past

137
00:07:41,420 --> 00:07:44,450
isn't even the truth.

138
00:07:44,450 --> 00:07:50,060
That memory is creative because
you don't have the same brain

139
00:07:50,060 --> 00:07:53,582
that you had 35 years ago.

140
00:07:53,582 --> 00:07:55,820
And what does that mean?

141
00:07:55,820 --> 00:07:59,630
People embellish the
memories of the experience

142
00:07:59,630 --> 00:08:03,500
to reaffirm the emotion that
they are identifying with that

143
00:08:03,500 --> 00:08:05,790
keeps them in the past.

144
00:08:05,790 --> 00:08:09,590
And in a sense, we could
say then the person

145
00:08:09,590 --> 00:08:14,200
is reliving a miserable life
that they never even had.

146
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,990
And their brain and body
neurologically and chemically

147
00:08:17,990 --> 00:08:22,910
are being further tacked or
conditioned into the past.

148
00:08:22,910 --> 00:08:25,760
And so people get caught
in these loops of thinking

149
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,920
and feeling and
feeling and thinking

150
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,940
for 10, 20, 30, and 40 years.

151
00:08:31,940 --> 00:08:34,940
And the redundancy of that
cycle of thinking and feeling

152
00:08:34,940 --> 00:08:38,179
and feeling and thinking
conditions the body

153
00:08:38,179 --> 00:08:41,840
to subconsciously become
the mind of that emotion.

154
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,110
And when the body becomes
the mind of that emotion,

155
00:08:45,110 --> 00:08:48,500
now the body literally
is in the past.

156
00:08:48,500 --> 00:08:51,275
And you can't create
a new future holding

157
00:08:51,275 --> 00:08:54,470
on to the emotions of your past.

158
00:08:54,470 --> 00:08:57,970
And in a sense, your body
is your unconscious mind.

159
00:08:57,970 --> 00:08:59,840
It's objective.

160
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,440
It does not know the difference
between an actual experience

161
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,070
in your life that's creating
an emotion and the emotion

162
00:09:07,070 --> 00:09:10,370
that you're creating or
fabricating by thought alone.

163
00:09:10,370 --> 00:09:14,000
It means then that
your body is believing

164
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,990
it's living in the same past
experience 24 hours a day,

165
00:09:18,990 --> 00:09:23,090
seven days a week,
365 days a year.

166
00:09:23,090 --> 00:09:26,910
To the body, it
literally is in the past.

167
00:09:26,910 --> 00:09:31,280
So then to change then is to
be greater than your body,

168
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,825
to be greater than the
conditioning of the body

169
00:09:33,825 --> 00:09:34,625
living in the past.

170
00:09:37,770 --> 00:09:40,440
Now, what do most people do
once they reaffirm the thoughts

171
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,240
and feelings, their
state of being that

172
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,720
keep them in the familiar past?

173
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,170
They start to crave
the predictable future.

174
00:09:48,170 --> 00:09:50,660
So living in the
familiar past is

175
00:09:50,660 --> 00:09:54,530
living connected to
everything known in your life.

176
00:09:54,530 --> 00:09:57,800
So then what they do is they
reach for their cell phone.

177
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,960
They check their texts.

178
00:09:59,960 --> 00:10:02,120
They check their Facebook.

179
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,550
They post a picture
on Instagram.

180
00:10:04,550 --> 00:10:05,780
They tweet.

181
00:10:05,780 --> 00:10:06,860
They check one email.

182
00:10:06,860 --> 00:10:08,960
They check the other email.

183
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,240
They check everything
that's known and familiar

184
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:12,530
in their life.

185
00:10:12,530 --> 00:10:15,200
And now they're
connected to everything

186
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,170
familiar in their known reality.

187
00:10:18,170 --> 00:10:22,550
And they run through a series
of automatic, unconscious

188
00:10:22,550 --> 00:10:25,160
behaviors in routine.

189
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:30,710
Now, a habit is a redundant
set of automatic, unconscious

190
00:10:30,710 --> 00:10:33,320
thoughts, behaviors,
and emotions

191
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,320
that's acquired through
frequent repetition.

192
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,230
A habit is when you've done
something so many times

193
00:10:39,230 --> 00:10:41,780
that your body now knows
how to do it better

194
00:10:41,780 --> 00:10:44,570
than your conscious mind.

195
00:10:44,570 --> 00:10:48,630
So if a person has been living
in the same routine for years

196
00:10:48,630 --> 00:10:52,980
on end, their body
now is on autopilot.

197
00:10:52,980 --> 00:10:54,990
And it's dragging
them as the mind

198
00:10:54,990 --> 00:10:57,180
into the predictable future.

199
00:10:57,180 --> 00:11:01,830
And they've lost their
free will to a program.

200
00:11:01,830 --> 00:11:05,880
Now it's no longer that
their personality is creating

201
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,590
their personal reality.

202
00:11:07,590 --> 00:11:11,460
Now their personal reality is
creating their personality.

203
00:11:11,460 --> 00:11:15,990
And we can say that their
environment is controlling how

204
00:11:15,990 --> 00:11:19,290
they feel and how they think.

205
00:11:19,290 --> 00:11:23,130
So then you say to a person,
why are you so upset today?

206
00:11:23,130 --> 00:11:26,190
And they'll say to you, I'm
upset because of this person

207
00:11:26,190 --> 00:11:28,300
or this thing in my life.

208
00:11:28,300 --> 00:11:30,030
And what they're
really saying is

209
00:11:30,030 --> 00:11:33,360
that person or that
circumstance in their life

210
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,840
is literally controlling
their feelings and thoughts.

211
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,050
And if that is the case,
by very definition,

212
00:11:40,050 --> 00:11:43,320
it means then that they are
the victim to their life.

213
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,440
And that is the unconscious
program that they're living by.

214
00:11:49,110 --> 00:11:52,350
So then in order
for you to change,

215
00:11:52,350 --> 00:11:54,000
you're going to
have to be greater

216
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,180
than the conditions
in your environment.

217
00:11:57,180 --> 00:12:00,960
And every great person
in history knew this.

218
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,290
They believed in a
future that was already

219
00:12:04,290 --> 00:12:06,900
so alive in their
mind that they began

220
00:12:06,900 --> 00:12:09,900
to live as if that future
reality was happening

221
00:12:09,900 --> 00:12:12,060
in the present moment.

222
00:12:12,060 --> 00:12:16,640
And they share the same
brain as you and I.

223
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,830
So then to change
then, being greater

224
00:12:18,830 --> 00:12:21,170
than your environment
means then you

225
00:12:21,170 --> 00:12:23,360
have to be greater
than the circumstances

226
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,170
and conditions in your world.

227
00:12:26,170 --> 00:12:29,200
And as long as you're
not creating anything new

228
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,220
in your life, every
person, everything

229
00:12:33,220 --> 00:12:35,770
that's already reflected
in your brain also

230
00:12:35,770 --> 00:12:39,400
then is an experience that has
an emotion connected to it.

231
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,710
And we can say then
when you're thinking

232
00:12:41,710 --> 00:12:44,080
equal to your
environment, you'll

233
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:48,440
keep reaffirming and creating
the same environment.

234
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,480
And finally, to change is
to be greater than time.

235
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,840
And if a person's living
in the familiar past,

236
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:57,790
that is called the known.

237
00:12:57,790 --> 00:13:00,610
If they're living in
the predictable future,

238
00:13:00,610 --> 00:13:02,400
that is called the known.

239
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,410
And to change then is to
get beyond the programs

240
00:13:05,410 --> 00:13:08,290
of the future and the
conditioning of the past

241
00:13:08,290 --> 00:13:13,460
and settle into the sweet spot
of the generous present moment.

242
00:13:13,460 --> 00:13:15,740
That means then you're
going to have to be greater

243
00:13:15,740 --> 00:13:17,900
than that line of time.

244
00:13:17,900 --> 00:13:22,760
And there is a skill and a
formula that teach people

245
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,865
how to be greater
than their bodies,

246
00:13:24,865 --> 00:13:26,240
to be greater than
the conditions

247
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,030
in their environment, and
to be greater than time.

248
00:13:33,700 --> 00:13:36,880
So in order for you
to change, you're

249
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,895
going to have to cross a river.

250
00:13:38,895 --> 00:13:41,920
And the hardest
part about change

251
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:46,870
is not making the same choice
as you did the day before.

252
00:13:46,870 --> 00:13:48,970
So here's the old self.

253
00:13:48,970 --> 00:13:50,900
And here's the new self.

254
00:13:50,900 --> 00:13:54,670
And the moment you decide
to make a different choice

255
00:13:54,670 --> 00:13:57,190
or to do something
differently, you just

256
00:13:57,190 --> 00:13:59,470
stepped into that
river of change.

257
00:13:59,470 --> 00:14:03,380
And get ready because it's
going to feel uncomfortable.

258
00:14:03,380 --> 00:14:06,030
It's going to feel unfamiliar.

259
00:14:06,030 --> 00:14:09,110
There's going to be
some uncertainty.

260
00:14:09,110 --> 00:14:12,040
There's going to
be some unknowns.

261
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:13,990
And most importantly,
you're not going

262
00:14:13,990 --> 00:14:17,320
to be able to predict
the next moment.

263
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:18,790
Now, think about this.

264
00:14:18,790 --> 00:14:21,400
We just said that in
order for you to change,

265
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,430
you have to be greater
than your body.

266
00:14:24,430 --> 00:14:26,890
And the redundancy of thinking
and feeling and feeling

267
00:14:26,890 --> 00:14:31,020
and thinking conditions
the body into the past.

268
00:14:31,020 --> 00:14:35,060
So the body has been trained
to cling to what it knows.

269
00:14:35,060 --> 00:14:38,300
And now you're taking
it out into the unknown.

270
00:14:38,300 --> 00:14:41,120
And the body says,
I don't like this.

271
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,370
I can't predict the future.

272
00:14:43,370 --> 00:14:47,690
And the body starts
influencing our thoughts.

273
00:14:47,690 --> 00:14:50,850
And all of a sudden, we start
to have these subvocalizations,

274
00:14:50,850 --> 00:14:54,470
this chatter in our head,
these voices that tell us,

275
00:14:54,470 --> 00:14:56,360
start tomorrow.

276
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,190
You'll never change.

277
00:14:58,190 --> 00:14:59,990
You're too much
like your mother.

278
00:14:59,990 --> 00:15:03,440
It's your ex's fault.
It's your boss's fault.

279
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,630
This doesn't feel right.

280
00:15:05,630 --> 00:15:10,590
And most people listen to
that thought as if it's true.

281
00:15:10,590 --> 00:15:12,670
And one of my greatest
moments in my life

282
00:15:12,670 --> 00:15:14,260
is when I realized
just because I

283
00:15:14,260 --> 00:15:18,370
have a thought doesn't
necessarily mean it's true.

284
00:15:18,370 --> 00:15:22,930
So a person may say, I want to
change something about myself.

285
00:15:22,930 --> 00:15:24,910
Today, no more blaming.

286
00:15:24,910 --> 00:15:26,500
No more complaining.

287
00:15:26,500 --> 00:15:27,940
No more suffering.

288
00:15:27,940 --> 00:15:29,800
No more self-pity.

289
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,640
And now they're disrupting
that chemical continuity.

290
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,090
And all of a sudden,
two hours goes by.

291
00:15:36,090 --> 00:15:37,960
Then after that
two hours, the body

292
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,850
starts craving the conditioning
of those familiar chemicals.

293
00:15:41,850 --> 00:15:43,810
And it's the body then
that's influencing

294
00:15:43,810 --> 00:15:47,110
the mind for the
body to return back

295
00:15:47,110 --> 00:15:48,460
to the same state of being.

296
00:15:53,550 --> 00:15:58,500
So then going from the
old self to the new self

297
00:15:58,500 --> 00:16:04,470
is the neurological, the
biological, the chemical,

298
00:16:04,470 --> 00:16:09,790
the hormonal, the genetic
death of the old self.

299
00:16:09,790 --> 00:16:15,690
And in that place, that void,
that place of uncertainty,

300
00:16:15,690 --> 00:16:20,730
is actually the perfect place
to create something new.

301
00:16:20,730 --> 00:16:24,090
And people may say, I'm
crossing that river of change.

302
00:16:24,090 --> 00:16:26,940
I can't predict my future.

303
00:16:26,940 --> 00:16:30,060
And the answer is, the
best way to predict

304
00:16:30,060 --> 00:16:34,002
your future is to create it.

305
00:16:34,002 --> 00:16:38,040
And what thoughts do you want
to fire and wire in your brain

306
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:41,010
and put your attention behind?

307
00:16:41,010 --> 00:16:44,940
What behaviors do you want
to demonstrate in one day,

308
00:16:44,940 --> 00:16:47,840
in one lifetime?

309
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,830
The latest research
in neuroscience

310
00:16:49,830 --> 00:16:52,500
says that when you
close your eyes

311
00:16:52,500 --> 00:16:56,850
and rehearse an activity
mentally that your brain does

312
00:16:56,850 --> 00:16:59,940
not know the difference between
what's going on out there

313
00:16:59,940 --> 00:17:03,650
and what's going on in here
if you're truly present.

314
00:17:03,650 --> 00:17:06,390
You begin to install the
neurological hardware

315
00:17:06,390 --> 00:17:09,329
in your brain to look
like you already did it.

316
00:17:09,329 --> 00:17:12,930
Now your brain is no longer
a record of the past.

317
00:17:12,930 --> 00:17:15,609
Now it's literally
a map to the future.

318
00:17:15,609 --> 00:17:18,780
You are priming your
brain into the future.

319
00:17:18,780 --> 00:17:20,940
And if you keep doing
it over and over again,

320
00:17:20,940 --> 00:17:26,190
firing and wiring, that hardware
will become a software program.

321
00:17:26,190 --> 00:17:27,300
And who knows?

322
00:17:27,300 --> 00:17:30,840
You just may start acting
like an abundant person.

323
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,650
You may start thinking
that you're healthy.

324
00:17:34,650 --> 00:17:36,048
Why?

325
00:17:36,048 --> 00:17:37,590
Because you installed
those circuits.

326
00:17:43,660 --> 00:17:45,220
Now here's the hard part.

327
00:17:45,220 --> 00:17:49,360
Can you teach your
body emotionally

328
00:17:49,360 --> 00:17:54,190
what that future will feel
like before it's made manifest?

329
00:17:54,190 --> 00:17:56,920
That means you can't
wait for your wealth

330
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,320
to feel worthiness
and abundance.

331
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,650
You can't wait for your
success to feel empowered.

332
00:18:02,650 --> 00:18:07,270
You can't wait for your new
relationship to feel love.

333
00:18:07,270 --> 00:18:12,370
You can't wait for your healing
to feel gratitude or wholeness.

334
00:18:12,370 --> 00:18:16,210
You can't wait for the
mystical moment to feel awe.

335
00:18:16,210 --> 00:18:21,160
That's the old model of
reality, of cause and effect,

336
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,710
waiting for something
outside of us

337
00:18:23,710 --> 00:18:25,900
to give us relief
from the emptiness

338
00:18:25,900 --> 00:18:27,940
and pain we feel inside of us.

339
00:18:27,940 --> 00:18:31,930
And some people will spend
their whole life living in lack,

340
00:18:31,930 --> 00:18:34,030
waiting for something to change.

341
00:18:34,030 --> 00:18:37,990
And if you're waiting,
then you're not creating.

342
00:18:37,990 --> 00:18:41,710
The quantum model of reality
is about causing effect.

343
00:18:41,710 --> 00:18:46,060
The moment you start
feeling abundant and worthy,

344
00:18:46,060 --> 00:18:48,430
you are generating wealth.

345
00:18:48,430 --> 00:18:52,240
The moment you start embracing
the feeling of empowerment,

346
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,970
you are stepping
towards your success.

347
00:18:54,970 --> 00:18:58,360
The moment you're in love with
yourself and in love with life,

348
00:18:58,360 --> 00:19:00,190
you will create an equal.

349
00:19:00,190 --> 00:19:02,780
And the moment you
start feeling grateful

350
00:19:02,780 --> 00:19:06,600
and you start feeling
whole, your healing begins.

351
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:10,370
And the moment you
are in awe of life,

352
00:19:10,370 --> 00:19:14,080
you will have a
mystical experience.

353
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,200
Now that's causing an effect.

354
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:22,150
And so from going from one state
of mind and body, the old self,

355
00:19:22,150 --> 00:19:25,610
into a new state of mind
and body, a new self,

356
00:19:25,610 --> 00:19:27,580
and crossing that
river means there'll

357
00:19:27,580 --> 00:19:31,070
be new opportunities,
new experiences,

358
00:19:31,070 --> 00:19:33,910
new events in your life because
you're no longer the old self.

359
00:19:39,460 --> 00:19:41,470
So the biological
model of change

360
00:19:41,470 --> 00:19:44,570
then is breaking the
habit of the old self

361
00:19:44,570 --> 00:19:46,780
and reinventing the new self.

362
00:19:46,780 --> 00:19:48,910
It's pruning
synaptic connections

363
00:19:48,910 --> 00:19:52,660
and sprouting new connections,
no longer signaling

364
00:19:52,660 --> 00:19:55,210
the same genes in the
same way, and learning

365
00:19:55,210 --> 00:19:59,200
how to signal new
genes in new ways.

366
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,010
Now, what I want you to
know is that you already

367
00:20:03,010 --> 00:20:05,810
know how to do this.

368
00:20:05,810 --> 00:20:08,690
Every one of us has done
something great in our lives.

369
00:20:08,690 --> 00:20:10,340
And what happened
when we decided

370
00:20:10,340 --> 00:20:12,980
to make up our mind
to create something

371
00:20:12,980 --> 00:20:15,260
or to do something differently?

372
00:20:15,260 --> 00:20:18,200
We ask ourselves the
question, is it possible

373
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:19,970
that I can be healthy?

374
00:20:19,970 --> 00:20:22,280
Is it possible that I can
have the job of my dreams

375
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,500
or the relationship
of my dreams?

376
00:20:24,500 --> 00:20:27,620
And what would that look like?

377
00:20:27,620 --> 00:20:29,750
When you asked
that question, you

378
00:20:29,750 --> 00:20:31,880
turned on the creative
center in your brain

379
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,980
called your "frontal lobe."

380
00:20:33,980 --> 00:20:37,640
And think of your frontal
lobe as the symphony leader.

381
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,370
And it has connections to
all parts of the brain.

382
00:20:41,370 --> 00:20:43,820
So what it does is
it naturally calls up

383
00:20:43,820 --> 00:20:46,790
different networks of
neurons that are associated

384
00:20:46,790 --> 00:20:49,010
with that question
based on the things

385
00:20:49,010 --> 00:20:52,760
you've learned intellectually
in your life and the experiences

386
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,560
that you've had as well.

387
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:58,460
And it begins to seamlessly
piece them together.

388
00:20:58,460 --> 00:21:00,170
The next thing you
see is an image

389
00:21:00,170 --> 00:21:02,180
or a picture in your mind.

390
00:21:02,180 --> 00:21:04,970
And that's called "intention."

391
00:21:04,970 --> 00:21:10,540
And now you are selecting a
new possibility of your future.

392
00:21:10,540 --> 00:21:13,360
When you saw that image, you
saw that picture in your mind.

393
00:21:13,360 --> 00:21:14,860
The next thing you
know, you started

394
00:21:14,860 --> 00:21:16,450
to feel the emotion
as if you were

395
00:21:16,450 --> 00:21:20,500
living in that future reality
in the present moment.

396
00:21:20,500 --> 00:21:22,540
And we could say then
the moment you started

397
00:21:22,540 --> 00:21:25,990
feeling the emotion, the
thought became the experience

398
00:21:25,990 --> 00:21:27,340
in your mind.

399
00:21:27,340 --> 00:21:30,760
And you were giving
your body a sampling

400
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,670
or a taste of the future.

401
00:21:33,670 --> 00:21:36,100
Now here's what you
did when that happened.

402
00:21:36,100 --> 00:21:39,070
You started thinking about all
the choices you had to make.

403
00:21:39,070 --> 00:21:40,870
And you wrote them down.

404
00:21:40,870 --> 00:21:43,030
You started to think about
all those experiences

405
00:21:43,030 --> 00:21:46,110
that would get you to that
vision, all those goals.

406
00:21:46,110 --> 00:21:48,100
And every time you
wrote those goals down,

407
00:21:48,100 --> 00:21:50,650
you felt more of those feelings.

408
00:21:50,650 --> 00:21:52,670
And you kept reviewing
them in your mind

409
00:21:52,670 --> 00:21:57,250
so you can put your conscious
mind on what you wanted.

410
00:21:57,250 --> 00:21:59,900
And then you did something
really brilliantly.

411
00:21:59,900 --> 00:22:02,950
You started to write down the
thoughts that you wouldn't let

412
00:22:02,950 --> 00:22:06,400
slip by your awareness
unnoticed, thoughts like,

413
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:07,270
I can't.

414
00:22:07,270 --> 00:22:08,290
It's too hard.

415
00:22:08,290 --> 00:22:10,120
I'll never change.

416
00:22:10,120 --> 00:22:12,490
Those are thoughts that
if you respond to them

417
00:22:12,490 --> 00:22:15,500
will cause you to lose
sight of your future.

418
00:22:15,500 --> 00:22:17,610
And every day you
reminded yourself

419
00:22:17,610 --> 00:22:19,160
of who you wanted to be.

420
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:20,710
And every day you
reminded yourself

421
00:22:20,710 --> 00:22:23,290
of who you no
longer wanted to be.

422
00:22:23,290 --> 00:22:27,370
And then you started seeing
synchronicities, opportunities,

423
00:22:27,370 --> 00:22:31,480
coincidences beginning
to show up in your life.

424
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,100
And that's the
universe telling you

425
00:22:33,100 --> 00:22:35,900
that you're heading
towards a new future.

426
00:22:35,900 --> 00:22:39,760
And when it finally happened, it
was no longer about the event.

427
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,540
It was about the fact
that you created it.

428
00:22:43,540 --> 00:22:46,240
And so then the
side effect of that

429
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:50,530
is we become more whole,
more present, more loving

430
00:22:50,530 --> 00:22:54,340
because now we're living
life less in lack.

431
00:23:00,690 --> 00:23:03,120
There's only three
things that stop us

432
00:23:03,120 --> 00:23:05,310
from that vision of the future--

433
00:23:05,310 --> 00:23:09,300
the body, the
environment, and time.

434
00:23:09,300 --> 00:23:11,920
Number one, the body.

435
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:14,130
Most people say, I
didn't feel like it.

436
00:23:14,130 --> 00:23:15,250
Or, I don't feel like it.

437
00:23:15,250 --> 00:23:16,050
I'm tired.

438
00:23:16,050 --> 00:23:17,710
I have a headache.

439
00:23:17,710 --> 00:23:21,480
And they use feelings as
a barometer for change.

440
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,450
And when you use feelings
as a barometer for change,

441
00:23:24,450 --> 00:23:28,410
you'll always talk yourself
out of possibility.

442
00:23:28,410 --> 00:23:29,820
The environment.

443
00:23:29,820 --> 00:23:31,077
I have these people to see.

444
00:23:31,077 --> 00:23:32,160
I have these places to go.

445
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,150
I have these things to do.

446
00:23:34,150 --> 00:23:36,720
Their environments
seduce them back

447
00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:39,330
into their present reality.

448
00:23:39,330 --> 00:23:41,400
The last one is time.

449
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,450
There just wasn't enough time.

450
00:23:44,450 --> 00:23:47,580
And people shrink
back into mediocrity.

451
00:23:47,580 --> 00:23:50,160
And they find people
that do the same.

452
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,110
And then they use
each other to reaffirm

453
00:23:52,110 --> 00:23:54,180
their addiction or
their conditioning

454
00:23:54,180 --> 00:23:56,490
into victimization.

455
00:23:56,490 --> 00:24:00,270
So then when you're at that
lowest level in your life

456
00:24:00,270 --> 00:24:03,210
where they don't want to keep
their social engagements,

457
00:24:03,210 --> 00:24:05,460
they could actually
see themselves

458
00:24:05,460 --> 00:24:07,650
through the eyes
of someone else.

459
00:24:07,650 --> 00:24:11,400
And in neuroscience, that's
called "metacognition."

460
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,980
And now they're beginning
to observe their thoughts.

461
00:24:13,980 --> 00:24:16,382
They're beginning to
notice their behaviors.

462
00:24:16,382 --> 00:24:18,090
They're looking at
the feelings that they

463
00:24:18,090 --> 00:24:19,757
were living by and
saying, I didn't even

464
00:24:19,757 --> 00:24:21,150
know I was suffering.

465
00:24:21,150 --> 00:24:24,000
It just feels like
how I always lived.

466
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,120
And the act of observing
those states of mind and body

467
00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:29,340
means they're no
longer the program.

468
00:24:29,340 --> 00:24:32,190
Now they're the consciousness
observing the program.

469
00:24:32,190 --> 00:24:34,230
And that's the first
step to change.

470
00:24:38,490 --> 00:24:42,000
Now that you have this basic
model of how change works,

471
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,430
how do you take this
information and use

472
00:24:44,430 --> 00:24:47,175
it to create a future self?

473
00:24:47,175 --> 00:24:51,040
If where we place our attention
is where we place our energy,

474
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,660
how do we direct our attention
to what we want in our life

475
00:24:54,660 --> 00:24:57,900
instead of what we
don't want in our life?

476
00:24:57,900 --> 00:25:02,610
In the next episode, we'll dive
into demystifying meditation

477
00:25:02,610 --> 00:25:06,270
and how to find the sweet spot
of the generous present moment

478
00:25:06,270 --> 00:25:09,150
where you can begin to
create a new future.

479
00:25:09,150 --> 00:25:12,690
I'm your host, Dr. Joe Dispenza
for the series "Rewired."

480
00:25:12,690 --> 00:25:14,910
And I hope to see you in
the next episode, where

481
00:25:14,910 --> 00:25:19,190
we go beyond the ordinary
into the extraordinary.
