The latest research on genes says genes don't create disease. It's the environment that signals the gene that creates disease.
The emotional environment or the physical environment? Your environment.

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.

Those chemicals give the brain and body a rush of energy and people become addicted to that rush of energy.

So now they use the problems and conditions in their life to reaffirm their addiction to that emotion. They need a bad job.

You got to lay down the very thing you used your whole life to get what you want for something greater to occur.

Now, you've been working with teaching people how to heal themselves with their minds, right?

Overcome disease, overcome any type of chronic illness or pain through the mind, the principle of the mind.

I grew up in a religion called Christian Science

that did not use medicine. I didn't get vaccinations when I was a kid.
My dad wouldn't let me go to the hospital.

He wanted to use thought, prayer, the mindset to overcome any pain or any physical ailment.

And so This is something that I was learning in a different way as an early kid.

When did you start to learn about this philosophy or principle or truth and start applying it to your life? Well, I got run over by a truck in a draft fund in 1986 on the biking portion of the race.

I broke six vertebrae in my spine and I was told that I'd never walk again. And so the typical

surgical procedure for multiple compression fractures with cord impingement is this surgery called Harrington rod surgery.

And in my case, they were going to cut off the backs of parts of my vertebrae from the base of my neck to the base of my spine.

They screw in these long stainless steel rods. and when you screw those rods in into the vertebrae, it acts like a cantilever.
It lifts the spinal column off the cord.

But the prognosis was I probably wouldn't walk again and

that the surgery was hopeful that it would give me some relief. And I think if it was any other patient, Lewis, besides me, I probably would have recommended the surgery, but this was me.
Sure.

And I just couldn't rush into it. So I had four opinions, you know, from four of the leading surgeons in Southern California, and they were adamant that I needed this surgery.
All four of them.

All four of them. Yeah, in fact, the medical director of Scripps Hospital at the time was my surgeon.
And

he thought I had a head injury, or he thought, you know, that I had PTSD, that I wasn't just following his instruction.

Anyway, I decided against the surgery, and I thought, well, listen, I'm not going anywhere. I'm not doing anything.
I'm basically laying face down. And I thought, well...

There's an intelligence that's giving us life. That's keeping our heart beating and digesting our food.

It really knows how to heal way better than me. This innate intelligence is what's giving us life.
And I thought, well, if it's an intelligence, it's a consciousness.

And consciousness is awareness, and awareness is paying attention, so it must be paying attention to me.

So I said, look, maybe I'll just spend the rest of my time trying to connect to this intelligence and give it a plan, give it a design, give it a template.

And when I was really present and complete with that design, I would surrender this creation to this greater mind and allow it to do the healing for me.

And the other thing I said is I'm not going to let any thought slip by my awareness that I don't want to experience. Now that sounds really easy, right?

But when you're faced with crisis or trauma, we tend to focus on what we don't want to have happen instead of what we do want to have happen. So I started on this journey.

I decided against the surgery and

it was a big revolution at the time.

And I went through six and a half weeks of hell.

I just could not get my mind to do what I wanted it to do because I'd start reconstructing my vertebrae and imaging an outcome and then I'd start thinking, am I going to be living in a wheelchair?

Should I sell my practice? So you were thinking about the way you wanted your body to look and feel in your mind. I reconstructed every single thing.
In my mind, in my mind.

I wanted to show it exactly three-dimensionally. In your mind.
In my mind. You're not drawing it out or not.
No, no, no, in my mind. I was reconstructing it.
You're visualizing it. Yeah, visualizing.

And I wanted to say, look, take a look at that. Because this intelligence is always present, right? So we got to be present with it.

So I'd start off reconstructing my spine and then I'd be like, oh, gosh,

should I sell my practice? What if I live in a wheelchair? You practice a chiropractic

topic. Yeah, in the Southern California La Jolla.

So I couldn't get my mind to do what I wanted to do. And then after six weeks, I just went through the whole thing.
I felt like I hit a golf ball right in a sweet spot. Something clicked.

And from that point forward, what took me two and a half or three hours to do, I was able to do in 45 minutes.

I was firing and wiring, you know, these new circuits, and I was practicing paying attention. And then all of a sudden, I started noticing dramatic changes in my health like this.

And the moment I started noticing changes in my body, what was going on outside of me, I started correlating it what I was doing inside of me.

Now I was just hooked and I just started doing it with more passion and more sincerity. Anyway, back on my feet in 10 and a half weeks, back training in 12 weeks, back in my clinic.

And I just made a deal with myself that if I was ever able to walk again, I'd spend the rest of my life studying the mind-body connection and mind over matter.

And then that led me to just stop everything in my life. I just wasn't the same guy.
I'd just been initiated into something and sold my practice, sold my home. Sold it all.

Sold it all, moved to the Northwest, and I just started asking bigger questions like, who am I?

Why am I here?

What are we doing? What happens when we die? And how did all this happen for me?

What was the process? So I started studying the science behind it, and I couldn't find it in any conventional textbooks because this was unconventional, right?

And the miraculous is kind of unconventional. So I started studying quantum physics and science and

epigenetics. And it started making sense.
I started building this model of understanding. Then I asked the fundamental question, has anybody else done it?

So then I traveled to 17 different countries and interfered with hundreds and hundreds of people with serious health conditions that were treating either conventionally or unconventionally.

And they were staying the same or getting worse. And all of a sudden I got better.
So what was the cause that produced the effect?

And the stories and what I learned was so amazing. I went back to school and studied neuroscience because mind was such a strong element.

It wasn't diet, it wasn't celibacy, it wasn't any of those things. It was just really this element.
And so then I was able to figure out that there were four common things.

And then I wrote a book about it, and then I thought, God, if this works really on people that were sick and are better and they come from all walks of life, all colors, all races, all genders,

sexual preferences, but all of a sudden, I wanted to see if I was able to reproduce it.

So then I started seeing, okay, let's see if we can teach this, be able to reproduce the outcome, because that's science, right? So we went through about... What were the four common things?

The first one was that they all believed and accepted that there was an intelligence that lived within them that was giving them life.

These people you interviewed who had had injuries that overcame them? No, no, no, these are people with cancer, MS, lupus, Parkinson's disease. You got better.
Yeah, just spontaneously.

It's called a spontaneous radio.

so they believe there was an intelligence there was some invisible life force that was they were connected to that they felt like they had lost their connection to they became separate and disconnected from and that when they got the diagnosis they woke up and said man i got to connect again and i got to connect to my essence

and so they developed a relationship with it just like you develop a relationship with anybody it takes time you got to be present you got to connect you got to experience you got to be present all of these things are important elements so

So that was the first thing. The second thing was that they realized that it was the mismanagement of their emotions and the hormones of stress that really began to create their condition.
Now,

stress is when your brain and body are knocked out of balance. Stress is when your body is knocked out of homeostasis.
We have an innate mechanism in our body that returns us back to order.

So then if someone cuts you off on the LA freeway, you have an emotional reaction, but 15 minutes later, you're back to driving and you're over it, right?

All organisms in nature can tolerate short-term stress.

All day long, all week, all year. Yeah, so if you're reacting to, like if Tyrannosaurus Rex is chasing you, you have to make a decision.
Am I going to use 20% of my energy? I'm going to use 100%.

So it turns out when you're reacting to traffic. 200%.
Oh, right, or if you're reacting to your coworker sitting in the cubicle next to you.

You're turning on that response and what was once very adaptive becomes very maladaptive because when you turn on the stress response and you can't turn it off, now you're headed for disease because nobody can live in emergency mode for that extended period of time.

Well, human beings, we can turn on the stress response just by thought alone. You can think about your problems, and you're producing the same biological effects.

So those chemicals give the brain and body a rush of energy. And people become addicted to that rush of energy.

So now they use the problems and conditions in their life to reaffirm their addiction to that emotion. They need the bad job.
They need the poor relationship.

So that means they become become addicted to the life that they don't even like.

Why do we need the bad job or bad relationship and stay stuck in the body? Because it's a conditioned response. So listen, if

you get angry at a coworker and all of a sudden you get an arousal in your brain and body, right? You get a rush of energy.

When you start noticing that your body starts dropping, your brain starts noticing your energy starts dropping, you're automatically going to have the image of the coworker in order to what?

Give your body the next jolt the jolt, right? So all of a sudden, people become addicted to their own thoughts, right? So these people realize that, oh my God,

I've been mismanaging my attention and energy, and I got to get beyond my past. I got to get beyond these emotions.
I got to make some big changes.

I got to break the habit of being myself, you know, I got to stop being this person. Now, That sounds really good theoretically and philosophically, but change is such a hard thing, right?

Because the moment you come back to your senses and you step back into your life and you see that person or you go to that place or you're with that experience, so many people are unconsciously reacting in their thoughts and feelings to everything in their environment.

So now their environment is controlling how they think and feel. So they realize that in order to change,

they got to be greater than their environment, greater than the conditions in the world, greater than circumstances. Be mindful of that every time

you're going to be like, okay, I'm going to think differently. Right, I'm not going to react to that.
Yeah, right. I'm not going to go back.
I'm not going to go back.

Because the moment you start reacting emotionally, emotions are a record of the past. And if those emotions are driving your thoughts, you're thinking in the past.

And if you can't think greater than how you feel, and you believe your thoughts have something to do with your destiny, you're creating more of your past, right?

So it turns out that the repetition of thinking and feeling and feeling and thinking, these loops that people get caught in,

condition their body to subconsciously become the mind of that emotion, which means now their body as their unconscious mind is believing they're living in the same past experience 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

What's the relevance behind that? Well, the latest research on genes says genes don't create disease. It's the environment that signals the gene that creates disease.

The emotional environment or the physical environment? Your environment, any environmental reaction.

But if you're reacting emotionally to your environment the same way, you're signaling the same gene in the same way and now you're headed for a genetic destiny.

So the hormones of stress push the genetic buttons that create disease. If you can turn on the stress response just by thought alone, your thoughts could make you sick.

And if your thoughts can make you sick, is it possible that your thoughts can make you well?

So they began to realize that, oh my God, the repetition of thinking and feeling and feeling and thinking caused me to feel guilt and I don't even know it's guilt. It just feels like me.

It's just, I'm used to the same chemical continuity.

Now, the moment they decided to change, anytime you decide to change and change anything about yourself, get ready because it's going to feel uncomfortable. It's going to hurt.

You're going to leave the known. You're going to leave the familiar and you're going to step into the unknown.
Even if the familiar is uncomfortable and painful,

it's still going to be painful leaving the pain. Right, because some people are super happy being unhappy.
Right. So then they would rather cling to their suffering than take a chance in possibility.

So these people said, I really have nothing to lose, right?

So then they said, I'm willing to be uncomfortable and be in the unknown. And it turns out that's the perfect place to create.

So when the body is conditioned to become the mind, then to change is to be greater than the body, right? So we become greater than the body. Well, that's a whole nother conversation.

But let me finish this, okay? So the third thing they said was,

okay,

so now that I know that I got to break the habit of being myself and I can't mismanage my thoughts and feelings, I got to change how I act, I got to watch how I speak, I got to become conscious of how unconscious I am because 95% of who we are by the time we're 35 years old is a set of memorized behaviors

like a computer program, emotional reactions, unconscious beliefs and perceptions.

So the first step to change is to become conscious of how you think, to notice how you act, to pay attention to how you feel.

And the act of observing those states of mind and body separates you from that program. Now

you're the consciousness observing that program. It turns out the more conscious you become of how unconscious you are, you know, lighting a match in a dark place,

that first step creates enormous amounts of chaos in the brain and body. And it's disturbing, so people just go back to the same addiction, the same emotion, the same problem.

This feels better. No, that feels familiar.
So they said, okay, now I got to change. I got to reinvent myself.
Now, this is...

really important because they started sitting down and thinking, okay, who in history do I admire? Who are great people, role models that I could follow?

What are the qualities qualities and characteristics that they have? How am I going to change? You know, these are what we call frontal lobe questions.

The creative center of the brain switches on, the emotional center settles down.

So then they started thinking, how would I have to be in a new life if I was really going to heal? What would I have to change about myself?

Now there's this interesting phenomenon that if you close your eyes and you begin to think about doing something, you're an athlete and you understand this.

If you were a background in football and you were running a pattern or you were doing something, you would rehearse it in your mind.

Turns out that the act of mentally rehearsing something, when you're truly present, your brain does not know the difference between what's going on out there and what's going on in here.

In fact, your brain will begin to look like you've been doing it for the last five days and you've never run the course. So now your brain is no longer a record of the past.
Because typically it is.

Now it's a map to the future. So now you're priming your brain.
So that became the very platform. You know, experiments experiments with piano players.

You know, you take a group of people that never played the piano before. You divide them into two different categories.
Take one group of people. You teach them one-handed scales and chords.

You do a brain scan on them. They come and practice for two hours a day for five days.
At the end of five days, if you rescan the brain, they real new circuits on the opposite side of the brain.

Nothing magical there. You learn something new.
Learning is making new connections. Get some instruction.
You get instruction. You get your body involved.
Get your body involved.

You're going to have an experience. Experience enriches the brain.
Pay attention to what you're doing. You've got to pay attention and repeat it, firing and wiring.

You're going to assemble new circuits. You can take the other group of people, have them come for two hours a day for five days, do a brain scan before, the brain scan after.

Have them close their eyes and mentally rehearse playing those scales and chords.

At the end of five days, they'll grow the same amount of circuits in their brain as the people who actually physically demonstrated the action. What does that mean?

It means not only they change their brain by thinking differently, but their brain looks like they've been playing the piano piano for five days.

Now, set them in front of a piano, never played the piano before, they'll play those scales and chords because their brain is wired to play it.

So, now the act of rehearsing who they're going to be, what are the qualities, and beginning to get in this creative state, began to lay down the circuits of a new personality.

And a new personality is connected to a new personal reality. So, the next question is: does that change the body? Take a group of men, have them do one-handed

curls in their mind and bring an emotional component like stronger harder more intense one hour a day for two weeks at the end of two weeks 13.5 increase in muscle strength

never lifted a weight now their body is changing like thought ala

so these people began to reprogram their brain and body and all of a sudden they began to act differently Why? Because they installed the circuits. They began to think differently, of course.

They began to feel differently. They were no longer feeling pain.
They're actually liking themselves, right?

So that if they're living by a different emotion and they're feeling an elevated emotion before they're healing, before they were healed, they're not waiting for their healing to feel joy and gratitude.

They're feeling gratitude and joy. Now their body is believing that it's healed because the body's feeling the emotion ahead of the experience.

And if the environment signals the gene and the end product of an experience in the environment is emotion, you're signaling the gene ahead of the environment. And what do genes do?

Genes make proteins. And what are proteins responsible? The structure and function of the body.
Now you're literally becoming somebody else.

And now you're turning down the genes for disease and you're turning up these other genes. So I started to realize that this reinvention process is exactly what we've always done.

It's just that we get complacent in certain areas of our life and we stop.

Now the last thing they had in common, the fourth thing, is that when they were doing that rehearsal process, that they had long moments where they lost track of time and space.

In other words, they were so involved in their inner world of imaging that when they turned the light on in the room or they lift their blindfold up or whatever they were doing, they thought it was 20 minutes later and it was an hour and 20 minutes later.

And when you're truly focused and you're truly paying attention and you're in the present moment, all of a sudden, you will leave this three-dimensional reality.

And when you leave this three-dimensional reality, there's only one other place you go, and that is the realm of thought, and that's called the quantum field.

And that quantum field is where all possibilities exist, right?

So they were connecting to a field of information that had everything to do with the first principle, which is that invisible intelligence that's both within us and all around us, personal and universal.

It is the unifying field that governs everything material in this world. And if you're going to change something material, that means you've got to get beyond your body to heal your body.
Right.

Because if you're your body trying to heal your body, there's one thing that we can guarantee. It's going to take time.
It's going to just take a long time.

Because you're playing by the rules of Newtonian physics. You play by the rooms of quantum physics.
Energy dictates matter.

So when you're truly in the field and you're making changes there, then the downward cascade neurologically, biologically, chemically, hormonally, genetically is the side effect of what's doing, what's happening in the field.

Accelerates. It accelerates it, exactly.
So you do it in less time because you're more connected to a realm that doesn't play by time.

You know, growing up in this religion that I grew up, it was a constant reminder and daily practice to think in a certain way, to think that you can never be physically harmed, that you're infinite love, that you're infinite light, your infinite soul, spirit, life, truth, and love, right?

It was a constantly taught to me that

I'm never able to get physically harmed.

And that if you are, that means your thought is off and you just have to recorrect your thought and you'll have a healing, right?

It's a little extreme for some because, and if you're not, you know, well practiced in it, if you don't know how to really manage the thoughts and train, then you can hurt yourself. Yeah, exactly.

You can really hurt your body. And that's, you know, it happened.
It happened for times.

But I use this

philosophy, strategy, technique idea in sports.

And I would rehearse constantly, like you talked about, I was constantly rehearsing the games, what I wanted to create for the season, for my body, for my life.

And it just seemed like it would always happen. You know, I would rehearse constantly over and over and get lost in my thoughts.
You call it the quantum field? Is that what you call it?

So I was in the quantum field to be on the physical field. I was playing in the quantum field just like I'd be playing on the physical field.
Exactly. And I remember I would watch

game film of world record holders in track and field and football and watch them every single night and mentally rehearse the same movements they would have before I would fall asleep.

And then I would practice the next day. But I was constantly constantly rehearsing in my mind how I wanted to show up.
I was rehearsing this moment,

you know, in my life. Ten years ago, I was rehearsing what I've been doing this year in my life.

Do you do this on a daily practice for yourself? And if so, how does that rehearsal look like? I do, I do.

So two things I wanted to say about that. I mean, first of all,

This is really not for everybody. I mean, because it's a, you got to be, it's like pregnancy.
Either you are or you're not.

I mean, there's no in-between. A little pregnant? You can't be kind of a little pregnant.
Either you are or you're not. And so, so you can't.
Who is it for and who's it not for? Yeah, so

what I found is that when I started studying spontaneous remissions, it was for people who had reached the end of their emotional belief where there was no longer any answers.

The doctors gave up on it, nothing else to do, right? And so they changed everything about themselves. And some of them were physicians, you know, just going like, wow,

what have I been doing? But now, fast forward to today,

I mean, in an age of information, ignorance is a choice. I mean, you've got so much information.
You don't need a doctor. You don't need a teacher.

You don't need a priest or a minister to gain information. You don't need an authority, right?

Technology gives us very quick information. So now, people are informed.
20 years ago, a doctor said, do you have this health condition?

Yeah, and not only that, you signed on out of line and you got the treatment of the surgery. Fast forward to today, everybody just kind of goes, wait a second.
Multiple opinions. Yeah.

Let me, you go home and you research it and you say, I want to try this. So now all of a sudden people are taking their power back.
So people are more informed.

So surgical procedures, pharmaceuticals are not always the first choice for people because there's other ways. And people only do the best with what's available.

So now information has scaled and changed the way people face off with health conditions. And now people are coming into this.

Number one, if they have a health condition that they can self-correct.

And number two, there are people that are saying, if I'm headed for a genetic destiny, because my mother had this health condition, my father had this, and I know the gene doesn't create it, but how I act and how I feel is going to signal the same gene.

Well, I'm going to just change my genetic future. So now, people are super proactive in the process, right?

So that's point number one. But point number two is that

if you start realizing that this is actually possible, And I can tell you that without a doubt it is, because we were talking before we started, the things that I'm witnessing.

I I mean if in the beginning it was just like a person got a little better they felt a little this little that you know their food allergies went away right but then all of a sudden we're talking about we in our last event two people with stage four cancer completely reversed

a woman with a very serious neurological disorder they didn't even they couldn't even name it crutches the whole bit left the event no crutches well how does she do that

Well, let me ask you a question.

If she doesn't look like a movie star and she's not buffed and young and attractive and successful, she's like a normal person, and you listen to this person's story and there's a thousand people listening to that story, you're going to scratch your head and say, wow, if she can do it, so can I.

And just like, you know, infection spreads amongst a community that creates disease. Health and wellness can be as infectious as disease.
So do I use it? Yes, but not in the way that people think.

Like,

I don't...

I'm not interested in success. I've had it.
I know that that's an important element. I think success is a side effect of who you are.
But what am I after?

I'm after making a difference in the world. I want people to become empowered.
So my rehearsals, my meditations, and connecting are all about the next thing that we can push the envelope for.

In other words, if that person healed themselves of that health condition and this person healed themselves, is it possible for that person to heal another person?

And if they can heal that other person, which is now happening, is it possible to heal somebody on the other side of the planet?

You just have to build the model and then come up with the science to be able to piece it together. And science, turns out, is the language that helped to demystify that process.

So I now know without a doubt, if you give people sound scientific information,

and every time they learn something new, they're adding new connections in their brain. That's what learning is.
Wow.

And if they can begin to pay attention for just one hour, now they're causing jungles of neurons to begin to organize as a platform of understanding.

If I say to you, now turn to the person next to you and explain what I said, and we do this in our events, if you can turn to the person next to you and explain what you've said, you've wired it in your brain.

What's the relevance of that? Now, you're installing the neurological hardware in your brain in preparation for an experience. And if the more you understand what you're doing and why,

the how gets easier.

And if nothing's left to conjecture, superstition or dogma, or spiritual new age stuff, but it's grounded in science, you're going to have more intention behind what you're doing and you're going to assign more meaning to it.

Unbelievable. Exactly.
Not just blind faith.

No, something's backing it. Right.

And then if we can set up the conditions in the environment and give people the proper instruction, and those people that get their behaviors to match their intentions and their actions equal to their thoughts, think of their mind and body working together, they're going to have a new experience.

And that experience then is going to enrich even more circuits in their brain. The end product of an experience is an emotion.
All of a sudden, they're going to feel unlimited.

They're going to feel in power. They're going to feel successful.
They're going to to feel worthy.

Now they're teaching their body chemically to understand what their mind is intellectually understood.

Knowledge is for the mind, but experience is for the body, and they're embodying that information. Have they done it once, should be able to do it again.

And when you keep repeating the experience, you know, this as an athlete, it's going to become automatic, it's going to become a nate, it's going to become second nature, it's going to become who you are.

You don't have to think about it any longer. So, take a person who was abused as a child, with an alcoholic parent who has a very rare genetic disorder.

They've manifested weakness in their bones because that's the emotion they live by.

Genetic disorder that medical science says we have no way to help you. How do you explain?

After a year of every day going after it, overcoming herself, overcoming herself, overcoming herself to become someone else, that no more any fractured bones, no evidence of broken bones, no more crutches, no more wheelchair,

running again. How do you explain that except she literally became someone else? She became somebody else.
The disease existed in the old personality. She's not that person any longer.

No, so biologically, that's absolutely possible. So for me, I chase the mystical.

I want those profound moments where I cannot go back to being the same guy again.

Because once you taste that wine or you drink from that well, all of a sudden, the way you perceive reality changes.

Because you start to see things that always existed but you didn't have the circuitry in place to perceive them. Why? Because the inner event is an experience.
An experience enriches the brain.

We don't see things how they are. We see things how we are.
So as you begin to change your circuitry, you're going to perceive more of reality. And why? Because we probably perceive 1% of reality.

So how do we begin to fully engage, right? So for me,

None of that matters. None of that veneer stuff matters.
What matters is the essence. What matters is, am I making a difference in the world?

How can I begin to affect, change, and help people to heal or create a better life for themselves and not do it matter to matter, you know, with bravado and adrenaline and all that.

That's the old way. This is about connecting.

And instead of going and getting it, creating a field where you draw to you and the synchronicities and the coincidences and the opportunities that are coming to you as a result of you doing the inner work, you're going to rush less in your life and you're going to be more aware of your energy.

And nobody changes until they change their energy. And when you change your energy, you change your life.

But that doesn't mean you change your energy, do a meditation, and you get up and get out of the freeway and flip people off. You're just disconnected from the energy of your future.

You got to be greater than the conditions in your environment. You got to maintain that state of being.
You got to be greater than the habits and emotions of your body.

And you got to sustain it for an extended period of time.

How do we change our energy and how do we sustain it for an extended period of time? How long does that time need to be until we really start to see

some time is immediate. Okay, so

our research, and we've done in the last six years, because we were seeing so many incredible, incredible things going on in our workshops.

I mean, people stepping out of wheelchairs and all kinds of crazy things. You're like a church.
Well, kind of like

a megachurch.

But hopefully not that. Based in science.
Yeah, but...

Isn't it amazing that some of these churches, when people get to believe, whether they have science backing it or not they just it's the belief in the mind step out into the unknown step out of your body

and heal yourself

instantaneously instantaneously and we do see that a lot and some people are like yeah that's yeah can that be possible well how can it be possible well look we've we've

done the research now i've assembled a team of scientists we've done 8500 brain scans i can tell you i can tell you what a person's about ready to change i can tell you why people don't change i can tell you what it takes to change so what's it take to change Well, you change,

most people keep their attention, always their awareness on their body. They keep their attention on everything in their environment, people and things.

Their brain is always scanning everything around us to determine what's known and unknown, what's safe and unsafe, right?

And, you know, we do that all the time. So our research shows that the moment you take your attention off your body and you go from somebody to nobody.

You take your attention off the people in your life and go from who you identify with from someone to no one. And so many people spend their whole life building an identity of being someone.

Take your attention off your cell phone, your computer, your car, and go from something to nothing.

Take your attention off where you're sitting, where you need to be, someplace you have to go, go from somewhere to nowhere.

And take your attention off time, linear, thinking about the predictable future, the familiar past, and fall into the generous present moment and go from some time to no time.

then all you're left with is consciousness. And that's the moment you're no longer playing by the same rules of matter to matter.
And there's a very elegant moment that takes place in the brain.

In fact, I was just showing my research to a group of researchers in Santa Cruz this past week, and they were blown away.

And I said, now watch, this person, This person's going to have a transformational moment. They said, how do you know? I go, I've seen enough of these.

And the next moment, the whole brain just lights lights up. That person is switched on.
They'll never be the same person again. They're having a transcendental moment.

And we could actually predict it and teach it now. It's a formula.
Just like you doing sports. It just becomes a formula.
And then you change the formula and you add to it, right?

So when you no longer are identifying with your body, your environment, and time, that's the moment you're pure consciousness. Now.
You're just an idea. You're an awareness.
Awareness.

Awareness that has nothing to do with local space and time. And now, if you're no longer...
You can go beyond anything.

You can go beyond, and that's when the brain, because the brain doesn't change the brain. It takes a long time.

It takes a long time for the personality to change the personality, for the ego to change the ego. The programs that change the programs takes forever.
Matter takes a long time to change matter.

But when you're in this moment, you're no longer playing by those rules. Consciousness is the phenomenon above matter.

In fact, consciousness is beginning to activate or manipulate circuits in the brain. People just think the brain is creating conscious.
No, consciousness is executing the brain, right?

So then, if the brain can change,

then the mind doesn't change the brain. Mind is the brain in action.
It's consciousness that changes it. So when people begin to disengage

and get beyond themselves, you are at your absolute best when you get beyond yourself. And getting the person to that point.
How does someone get to that point? Yes, well we teach them that formula.

We teach them to that point where all of a sudden they reach that generous present moment where they just feel connected.

And when they're in that place, all the things they thought they wanted, they actually no longer want because they feel like they already have them. So then imagine living your life from that place.

You would be less judgmental,

you would be less frustrated, you would be less impatient.

And so the formula then is that it requires a clear intention, which is a coherent brain. And when you're living stressed out

and something goes wrong, and you're threatened, or you can't predict an outcome, or you have the perception that something's getting worse, or you can't control it, you switch on that fight-or-fight nervous system that we talked about.

Now, here's what happens: when that occurs, you start shifting your attention from one person to one problem, the one thing to another person to another place, because your brain is trying to predict the next moment.

Well, every one of those people and things and places has a neurological network in your brain. So as you shift your attention from one to the next, it's like a lightning storm in the clouds.

Your brain starts firing very incoherently. When your brain is incoherent, you're incoherent.
And when you're living by the hormones of stress, not a time to create. No.
Not a time to open your heart.

Not a time to learn. Not a time to trust.
And it's a time to run, fight, or hide. So people spend 70% of their time of their life.
living in this state. Wow.
So think about it.

Miserable. Yeah.
So then when you're under stress,

if there's a cougar around the corner you're not going to sit down and meditate you're not going to sit still right but but so

here you've got you got the survival gene switched on and nobody is going to believe in possibility when you're living in survival right

so then when you're living in stress what happens is you narrow your focus on the cause

You narrow your focus on matter, the object, the thing. And so people get switched on and all of their attention is on their outer world.
When the hormones of stress kick on, the body gets an arousal.

and now your attention is on the body. And of course, when you're under stress, you're trying to predict the future based on the past.
And now you're literally enslaved into three-dimensional reality.

So, then, how do you get what you want? You got to try harder, you got to force it more, you got to work harder, you got to fight for it. That's matter trying to change matters.
It's exhausting.

People will just burn out, right?

So, then we now know that when you go from a narrow focus on something and you begin to open your focus, you create a sense and awareness that the act of opening your focus

causes you to stop thinking. And if you stop thinking, you no longer activate those circuits and you start to slow your brain waves down.

And as you slow your brain waves down, you start connecting to that autonomic nervous system, the thing that's giving you life. And all of a sudden, when you get beyond yourself, it says, he's gone.

Let's step in and just clean up this mess before he gets back. Really? And its job is to create order and balance.
Your body will start to do that for you. The innate intelligence will step right in.

Once you connect, you got to connect. So you got to know how to change your brain waves.
You can't change your brain waves.

You stay in that active state you're basically moving furniture around you're analyzing your life within some disturbing emotion and i can tell you after looking at all those brain stands if you're analyzing your life within some disturbing emotion you're going to make your brain worse in fact you are thinking in the past right so you teach people the formula how to open their focus change their brain waves, connect to that invisible field, and all of a sudden different compartments of the brain start synchronizing.

The front of the brain starts talking to the back of the brain. The right side starts talking to the left side.
And all of a sudden, what sinks in the brain links in the brain.

And all of a sudden, you see this person starting to feel more like themselves.

And when you see those two hemispheres of the brain start lighting up, watch out because that person's going to feel really whole. They're going to start loving life.

They're going to feel like they're going to be in love with life because the union of polarity and duality is wholeness. At the exact same time, coherent brain.

When you're resentful, when you're judgmental, when you're impatient, your heart beats out of rhythm. Why? You're stepping on the gas and you're stepping on the brake at the same time.

Your body and its intelligence living in survival is saying T-Rex is back there, but you're not running because you're sitting across the table looking at somebody smiling and your body's revved up, right?

So the heart is beating arrhythmically. And when that happens, you're squandering, you're using all the body's life force and turning it into chemistry, right?

You're using all that energy to survive as opposed to think beyond. Right, right.

So you're drawing from your vital life force, that invisible field around around your body and you're turning into chemistry you actually are going to shrink your own field the hormones of stress cause us to be materialists right we we we when we're under stress we're using our senses to determine reality so now you feel more like matter and less like energy more separate from possibility so then to teach a person then how to regulate that heart center and we do this we've done 6,000 heart scans.

Why?

Because if I can teach you how to get in that heart state, and I can teach you how to activate that center, and I can teach you how to regulate an elevated emotion, the heart starts to create a very coherent signature.

And when the heart starts beating like a drum, like dropping a pebble in water, it begins to produce a measurable magnetic field up to three meters wide.

Now you're more energy than matter, more wave than particle. Now, that field that's being created is measurable.
And that's an energy. And energy is frequency, and all frequency carries information.

So what is the information when it makes it here? Because you're staring into the world. It could carry the thought of your healing.
Why? Because it's consistent with the energy.

Guilt isn't going to carry the thought of your healing. It's a different frequency.

And all of a sudden now, the person is elevating their emotional state and they're allowing their thought to be carried on that frequency. They're broadcasting a whole new energetic signature.

But 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 then the question is, if you keep practicing, creating that state of being, it should become familiar to you. Yes or no? The word meditation literally means to become familiar with.

So then if you're practicing, moving into these elevated states and your heart is coherent and we're measuring and I can say, Lewis,

you got it. Now do it for 30 minutes.
Now do it for 60 minutes. And you practice creating that coherence, you'll know when you're there and when you're not.
Yes or no? Sure.

And then you would be able to say, like a skill, like anything else, give me a minute. I'm going going to step out and you're going to go back in the heart coherence and bring up that state.

Now we get there in the heart. Oh, well, then we practice the formula.
Again, rest your attention, start calling up elevated emotions.

And when you start seeing that that starts happening, then you sustain it, then you keep practicing. And all of a sudden, it gets longer and longer and longer.
Now, what's the relevance behind that?

Well, we've measured neurotransmitters. So when a person actually activates their heart, the heart releases a chemical called oxytocin.
Oxytocin is actually the love chemical.

Oxytocin signals nitric oxide. Nitric oxide signals another chemical called endothelial derived relaxing factor.
What does that do? Causes the vessels in your heart to swell.

You will literally have energy in your heart. You will literally feel like your heart is full.

Now, once you have that feeling,

You're not going to want to trade that feeling for anyone or anything. You're going to say, well, why would I judge that person? If I judge that person, I'm going to lose this feeling.

Now, all of a sudden, you're self-regulating. Now, once the heart is activated, I just was at the research lab this week.

Once the heart is activated, it acts as an amplifier and it amplifies energy in the brain. Let's face it, everyone's struggling long, busy days.

It's time to do your best work with the all-new Adobe Acrobat Studio. Where does all anxiety stem from?

Anxiety is doing this, living in survival. When you're living in survival, I'll tell you this.

When the survival gene is activated, out of the infinite potentials in the quantum field, you'll always choose the worst case scenario. Why?

Because if you're in survival and you're preparing for the worst, there's always better chances of surviving if anything less happens.

So people are always selecting the worst thing in their mind and they begin to emotionally embrace that future before it happens thought and emotion you start conditioning so you're conditioning the body to become the mind of fear you keep doing that enough times once the body becomes the mind it's a subconscious program person has a panic attack Try as you may to control it with your conscious mind, you can't.

You programmed it subconsciously. Now you worry about the next panic attack, and as you start worrying about the next panic attack, it's the vigilance that creates the next one.

Now here's what's happening in our work.

People who are self-regulating and creating these elevated states, we have heart scans of them sustaining heart coherence for a whole hour during a meditation.

Then at the end of the day, they're still wearing the monitor. It's eight o'clock at night, they're not even in a meditation, and for a whole entire hour they're in heart coherence.

We say to the woman, what's going on here? She said, I have no idea. I was just getting ready for bed, and all of a sudden, my heart just swelled up.

It was so intense, I had to lay on my back and surrender to love instead of surrendering to fear. She had a spontaneous love attack instead of a spontaneous panic attack.

Now, I would call that the natural state of being. So then

if you're living by those elevated states and you know how to feel that emotion of your future before it happens,

you're less likely to wait for it to happen because you'll feel like it already happened. You'll less likely try to control it.

You'll know that the moment you lose the feeling, you just disconnect it and you're going to make your way back.

And when you get good at it, no person, no thing, no experience can take it away from you. Now you're empowered.

And if you understand the laws of how creation happens, then you're less likely to compete and rush to get what you want. You're going to know that it's going to come to you.

And now that's the new model of how do we create. Knowing it's going to come to us at the right time.
What if we want it faster?

You just do it again.

But remember, if you're trying to make it happen faster, you're back to the old self.

The new self would never do that. The new self would constantly stay there.
And so then, how does it appear? It appears in a way that you can't expect. Because if you can predict it, it's the known.

It's going to come in a way that you haven't thought of, an unknown.

And it's got to rock your world. It's got to catch you off guard.
It's got to leave you no doubt that what you've been doing inside of you that produces some effect outside of you.

And when you correlate what you've been doing inside of you with the effect that you produced outside of it, you're going to pay attention attention to what you did and do it again. And the energy,

the joy that you feel when it happens, you're going to use that energy to create again. Now, people say to me, well, I'm this way because of that person and that thing.

I would say to them, so you mean then that person or that experience out there is controlling your thoughts and feelings.

That means you're a victim to your environment.

But when you start changing your thoughts and feelings and it starts to produce an effect in your environment, you're going to change the belief that you're a victim consciously or subconsciously of your life to becoming more of a creator of your life.

And now, all of a sudden, you become more of a creator of your life. You can't blame anybody.
You can't say, oh, that person or that thing.

You'd have to say, I got to be greater than that environmental condition. Who in history can I study that had the same challenges?

What did they do? Let me just work that into my rehearsal so that I can improve, right? Just like you've done with sports. It's the same process.
Yeah.

When do you experience the most love?

Ooh. Personally.
Yeah, that's a great question. So

it turns out that the signature of the quantum field is greater and greater degrees of oneness and wholeness, right? So think about it.

When we live in stress, we live in separation, right? Because our senses fool us into believing you're there and I'm here, and everybody is separate from us, and everything is separate from us.

That's 3D reality, right?

But as you start opening this center, all of a sudden, when you become nobody, no one, no thing, nowhere, and no time, right?

That's the moment that your consciousness lines up with the consciousness of the field. That's when you are totally present.
Now, here's the deal.

If I can get people to believe that just because they can't see something doesn't mean it doesn't exist, that they can just connect and pay attention to that field and stay present with it and become more aware of it, moment after moment after moment, every interaction with that invisible field, every experience lays down new circuits in their brain for them to perceive more of it, right?

So then, as they keep their attention on it, they start moving closer and closer to it, so they experience less separation and more oneness and wholeness.

So, then when that happens, there's a cascade of all kinds of physical and chemical and energetic things that begin to happen. So, for me,

the best way that I can describe that field is its intelligent love. It's greater levels of order and unity and oneness.

And when you strike it and you hit it, it is the most incredibly electric feeling you will ever have. It is the most familiar, unfamiliar feeling you will ever have.

You will swear that you are ancient in that moment and you will connect. And it won't be just like love for your puppy.

You will feel it in every single cell of your body. And I mean like a vibration, a coherence where your body becomes electric.
And the only way we can describe that is love.

You taste that one time.

Here's what I say.

I always say, the first time it happens, the first time it happened to me, and every time since, when I come back to my senses, I always say the same thing, Joe Dispenza, you got this all wrong.

Because some

veneer, some conditioning is lifted. You start realizing that the way you think life is, isn't that way.
So now,

when I've had those moments, Lewis, I have said, there cannot be any more love than this until the next experience.

I mean, how much is there, right? I mean,

you get super humbled. When was the last time? Ooh, about,

well, about five days ago. Yeah.
What? What's the moment? Oh, I just had a very profound mystical experience. I was,

I'll tell you the short story. And how often does it happen?

I don't know. I mean, I live for them.
Yeah.

You try to do it every month if you can. No,

I just do the meditations, and then when they happen, if I'm just in the right place and I don't have a plane to catch or an email to answer, and I have a little laxity, and I can kind of surrender into the moment, I just

had this incredible,

I don't know how to describe this, but

there is a geometric pattern like mandala. I don't know what it was, and it moved right through my entire body.
And it was like

working with me, with my physical body. And if I could surrender to it, it was just incredible bliss.
I mean, incredible, incredible bliss. I mean, I don't know how to describe it.
And

when that occurs,

when it happened to me, I had this, my heart was just lit up. Like,

it was an experience. It wasn't a physical experience, you know, it was from within.
And here's the weird thing every time it happens

my heart feels

alive like it lasts for days like the emotion from the experience lasts for days and people are like uh what's up with you like what and you're just kind of joyful you got this big smile on your face I just am so happy to be alive right and so I think that

independent of listen I now know, I mean, we've measured genetic changes, hormonal changes, neurotransmitter changes. We've measured immune system responses by trading fear for gratitude.

We've measured gene expressions. We now know that people can signal the gene

to reduce cancer and tumors, signal the gene to grow new neurons. We've measured this, signal the gene

for stem cells to go to damaged tissues and repair them, oxidative stress gene signal. We've seen that in our students.
Now here's the deal.

After all of those studies in the last six years, you can't tell me you're too old to do this work. You can't tell me that.
We've got people in their 80s doing miraculous things.

You can't tell me you're too sick to do this work. We've got people that were the end of their life stage four and turned that battleship around.

You can't tell me that you had too turbulent of a past to do this work. People that were really rough pasts that are now free.
You can't tell me

you've never meditated before. We have people that have never meditated before the most profound mystical experience.

You can't tell me you're too overweight, too underweight, too out of shape, too in shape. You can't tell me that anywhere because all colors, all races,

everybody can do it. That's the cool part about it.
And when you get a community of people together and you move them from one state of mind to another, there's this moment.

And I can almost predict when it happens, the second or third day, where people just start hooking up.

And then when they start hooking up, you know, we start, we're seeing now on our events, I mean, a lady that was blind from birth, 5% vision, by the end of the event was seen.

I mean, how do you explain that? We had three people in the last two events that were deaf, that are hearing now.

People with crutches that were limited or walking without crutches and canes, spinal cord injuries, I mean, Parkinson's disease in a week. Like, that's got to be...
like

that doesn't wake you up to what's possible and you're witnessing a tumor

in a woman's thyroid that was there at the beginning of the event it's gone at the end of the event i mean like you you got to scratch your head and just go wow the reality isn't at all the way i think it is right and so there's this humility that comes like well i don't know anything

but i'm willing to go down push the envelope a little bit more so we're only as good

as our ability to execute this, right? But as we get better consistency of it too, yeah.

I'm all about consistency. and I'm

the first guy to say, do the blood test, do the scan, let's do the test to make sure that it's just not in your mind, it's in your brain.

So now the evidence then supports it,

the testimonials support it, and all of a sudden people now are beginning to wake up to what's possible. And just like the four-minute mile.
The four-minute mile was broken. What's almost broken?

We pierced the veil. Everyone did.
So we're just seeing now the same thing. We've pierced the veil and people are just

all in. They're not 50% in, they're all in.
And my goodness, we're creating this kind of wake and momentum.

But not just for healing, but for creating new jobs and new relationships, new opportunities.

Whatever it is that they want.

People come to the work for all kinds of reasons. Sure.
And I don't really care. But by the time they start doing the work, all they really want to do is give.

Because when you feel so amazing and feel so great about yourself that you no longer want anything,

the first thing you want to do is give.

I mean, when we see that brain scan moving into coherence and those two hemispheres come together, and all of a sudden you see that heart just start going boom, boom, very orderly.

And see the more energy going in the brain, the brain goes into super coherence.

You can walk around and look at that person who's getting a brain scan, and there are tears of joy rolling down her face.

Hey, everybody, Ted Danson here to tell you about my podcast with my longtime friend and sometimes co-host Woody Harrison.

It's called Where Everybody Knows Your Name and We're Back for Another Season.

I'm so excited to be joined this season by friends like John Mulaney, David Spade, Sarah Silverman, Ed Helms, and many more. You don't want to miss it.

Listen to Where Everybody Knows Your Name with me, Ted Danson, and Woody Harrison sometimes, wherever you get your podcasts. Clorox, toilet wand, it's all in one.
Clorox, toilet wand, it's all in one.

Hey, what does all in one mean? The catty, the wand, the preloaded pad.

There's a cleaner in there,

inside the pad. So Clorox toilet wand is all I need to clean a toilet?

You don't need a bottle of solution

to get into the story revolution. Clorox, clean feels good.
Use as directed.

Do you feel like you've answered those questions for yourself? Who am I? Why am I here? What am I I doing yeah I think so I think that

was there questions you still haven't answered no I mean it's not that there's questions that I still haven't answered it's just that I'm I'm always changing my answers because I'm not I mean even my definition of surrender just from six months ago is not even close to the same definition that I have today what's the definition now Well, surrender, I mean, it's just greater degrees of letting go and trusting everything.

I just like, like,

when my world is going sideways and my staff is just freaking out, I'm always like, oh, I'm just going to let go. I'm just, I'm not going to control anything.
They're like, what? The ship is sick.

Like, yeah, but I got to go against the chemicals and I got to trust. Because if you're going to stress in that moment and have anxiety, you're going to create more of that.

Oh, you're going to make things worse. So I just let go all the way, all the way.
And

you got to lay down.

The very thing you used your whole life to get what you want for something greater to occur. And that's that's not one bite.
That's not one leap.

It's a practice. And so is letting go a little bit more and trusting.

If you over surrender,

that's lazy and lethargic.

If you over intend, that's trying and forcing. So there's this razor's edge between intention and surrender, right? You got to be able to

take action. Right, yeah, right.
Surrender. Right, right.
But you don't want to get in the way, right? So, and that's just, it's a lot of trial and error, you know, but you figure it out, right? Wow.

Yeah.

What do you feel like your mission is right now then?

Wow. So

for me right now, I mean, my passion is these week blog events.

How many do you do a year? We do about 10

about, oh, just a little less than once a month, you know, around the world. And it's usually about a thousand people.

And now what we're doing is we're doing this whole nother level. We're doing two really cool things.
One is a challenge activity.

And what I want to do is is we now know that our students can create a lot of brain and heart coherence, but they can do it with their eyes closed in a room with a thousand people and soft music playing and they feel safe.

But now let's get them in a situation where that would normally elicit fear or some emotion. Get them in the real world.

Get them in the real world and get them up somewhere where they're feeling a little uncomfortable

or they're being challenged through endurance.

And let's see them create brain and heart coherence right on that spot. Like this is this is the moment.

This is your life. Like, you got to be able to do this right now.
You can't say, I can't. It's too hard.
I can't do this. I'll start tomorrow.
I don't want to. That's not the moment.

That's what you do in your life. Let's put you there.
And instead of just white-knuckling and pushing through, let's get really conscious. Surrender.
Let's get really present.

Let's create that heart and brain coherence and let's work it. And then make the move when you're in that state.
You know, rhythm through that resistance. Create that kind of coherence.

And I was just at the Heart Math Institute, who we partner with, and

Doc Childry, the guy that created Heart Math, he said, it's all about rhythm through resistance. It's about that ability to create that kind of internal order when there's chaos going on around you.

So what's the relevance of that?

The person who's going through a challenge activity that's a huge obstacle course

and they have the belief that they have a spinal cord injury or they have MS or Parkinson's disease and they never try anything in their life. And we got them up there.

and there's people rooting for them and they're in that state and they're in that heart clearance and they go through that whole course and they've overcome

they're going to walk back in their life and whatever challenges that they have they're going to be like

this is nothing i've just reset the scale so and the other thing is that people move past where they normally can go there's a liberation of energy And that's available energy that just needs to be organized.

So they start organizing that energy, then they're doing magic. The other thing we're working on is

is non-local healing. We call the cage.
We've got a person to lay down with a health condition. We get eight people around them.
We teach them about energetic coherence.

We talk to them about the science that it's not matter that emits a field. It's the field that creates matter.
Change the field. You change matter.

We give them the science and the understanding, and then we let them go. And we have seen people...

all kinds of healings take place in 10 minutes. Like, how do you explain that?

How do you explain a person laying there who isn't even being touched and their entire body is moving in all these different directions with energy?

It's incredible. So,

I want to develop that. Why? I want to get so good at that, Louis, that 50% of those people that are laying down get up healed.
We're going to walk into a city when we do a week-long event.

We're going to call the children's hospital. We're going to say, send those kids with cancer.

We're going to change futures, right?

And man, you know, you talk about opening your heart, but if you

think you open your heart, but when you get an opportunity to give,

and these people have been working all week long, when it comes time to heal, they're not saying, oh, my back hurts. They're not saying, how long is this going to go? Am I doing it right?

Transform someone's life, yeah.

They left those attitudes on Monday.

This is Friday. This is Saturday.

They've been connecting to the field all week long.

They're not in their analytical mind. They're beyond their body.
They know how to get beyond their environment. They know how to get beyond time.

So when it comes time to execute, they've been practicing all week. They've been in a camp.
They've been practicing.

So you get a group of people doing that together, and all of a sudden, the energy, we've measured the energy of the room. And the energy of the room always goes up.
It just goes up.

And that's available energy to heal. That's available energy to do the mystical.
So I just want to get consistent. And I want to get really good at it.

And it's not about me.

Well, we were making great changes and like unbelievable changes in people's health. But before I step out into the world and say, let's go to the children's hospital in Toronto

and let's call up the oncologists there and say, hey, we'll never touch the kids. We'll just lay them down.

It'll just be a half an hour. They'll just be laying on the ground.
And then we'll be done.

And build up a relationship. I want to be good enough

that when we do do it, that we're going to execute an out.

And that way we're beyond reproach. It's no longer a bunch of spiritualists doing this.
There's the science behind it, and we now know it. Thousands of cases or etc.
Yeah, we've got tons of cases now.

Exactly. But I don't know the statistics.
We're going to start doing the statistics now and we're going to start tracking the changes.

So then I can say without a shadow of a doubt, yeah, we're at 30%. Our last three events, we had 30% remission.
Not just like it goes away for a little bit, but it goes away and stays away.

That's cool. And some people go to the healing, they get in the cage for their knee problems and they come out hearing better.
That just happened to a guy the other day.

He had bad knees and he was, he went in to get his knees healed, but he forgot that he's, you know, he didn't think about his hearing problem.

He got bit by a poisonous snake when he was like a three-year-old kid and always had hearing problems, whereas hearing aids the whole bit. Comes out of the,

he said he'd never felt that amount of love in his entire life. And that's the common thing that people say.
The woman that got her vision back, that's not what she talked about.

She didn't talk about the fact that she could see. All she kept saying was, I feel like a child again.
I feel like a baby again. I feel fresh.
I feel like I'm newborn. I feel clean.

She kept talking about how she felt. Then she said, oh yeah, and I can see faces now.
And there were these two big

flower arrangements on the stage. And she said, I thought those were guards guarding Dr.
Joe the whole week. She couldn't even see the flowers.
She just saw the, you know, the foreign.

And she was like, I see the flowers now. But the first thing was how they felt.
And he, the same way, he said, I had never, I was sobbing. I never felt so much love in my life.

It wasn't like I was trying to feel it. It just happened.
And he said, and I got up, and all of a sudden, I could hear Dr. Joe talking without my hearing aids.

And I just kind of like, I think my knees were a little better, but my hearing's a lot great, you know? So you never know, right? You never know.

Everyone's got to get in the cage. In the cage, yeah.
I'd like to give people a challenge. I'm curious.
I want everyone listening for the next seven days to try something.

And if you could

give

one to three different things that we could think differently or eliminate when a thought comes to us or we react in a certain way.

If there's something you think, if we eliminated one, two, or three things and we did this every day for seven days, we would start to see incredible feelings differently, we'd feel healthier, more lively, more loved.

What would be those two things? Okay, well, most people, number one, they get up in the morning and the first thing they do is they think about the problems in their life.

And those problems are memories from the past. So the moment they think about their problems, they're thinking thinking in the past, right?

Every one of those problems has an emotion attached to them, so they start feeling unhappy or unworthy or whatever. And how you think and how you feel is your state of being.

So, most people's entire state of being is in the past when they start today. So, if they're in the familiar past, they're gonna live in a predictable future, right?

So, they get up and they check their cell phone, they check their text, their WhatsApp, their Facebook, they post something on Facebook, they tweet, they Twitter, they check the news, then they go to the bathroom, get a cup of coffee, take a shower, get dressed, check more emails, drive to work the same way, the same thing so they're in a program they've actually lost their free will to the program well so if you start your day and you start your day with this simple question

what is the greatest ideal of myself that I can be today you ask yourself that question and now listen your body's gonna go like well we got to get a cup of coffee and you got tired

and you gotta go uh uh uh uh uh body

You're not the mind. I'm the mind right now.
You're gonna sit here. I'm gonna feed you.

You're gonna get your coffee. You're gonna do all those things.
But right now, this is my time. You're going to obey me, right?

So now, the body's no longer the mind, you're the mind. And so when it wants to get up and you become aware of it, you return back to the present moment, every time you do, that's a victory.

And you're changing some aspect of yourself. So then,

ask yourself, I do this all the time. Write down four thoughts that you're going to stay conscious of the whole day.
I can't, it's too hard.

You'd be surprised the moment you become conscious of what those thoughts are, how unconscious you've been to them all day, for weeks on end.

Write down what you speak, how you speak, four things you want to change, how you act,

how do you act? Do you complain, do you blame, you make excuses, you feel sorry for yourself? That's a victim consciousness. What emotions do you live by?

Is it possible that you're so used to living by guilt, you don't even know it's guilt, it just feels like you?

Do you allow your energy to drop? Become conscious of those states of mind and body and review them and say, this is the old self. Then say,

what thoughts do I want to fire and wire in my brain? And start firing and wiring and start feeling it. What behaviors will I demonstrate today? What choices will I make? One day, one lifetime.

And just like you did, rehearse them. Rehearse the whole entire thing.
Begin to install the neurological hardware in your brain.

And if you keep installing it, the hardware is going to become a software programming. You're going to start thinking and acting that way.
And then here's the tough part.

Can you teach your body emotionally what your future is going to feel like before it's made manifest.

And don't get up until you feel that way. No.

Practice that for a few days and then see if you can stay in that state and watch all of a sudden all those weird doors start opening for you. Synchronicities.
Synchronicities, whatever they are.

Number two,

take up time at the end of your day, the end of your day before you lay down. and give thanks for your life.

Feel gratitude and really teach your body what it feels like. The emotional signature of gratitude, when gratitude means you're getting something.

If I give you something that's of value, you would say thank you because you would feel it, right? So when you're receiving,

you're giving thanks. So gratitude is the ultimate state of receiving.

So then people only accept, believe, and surrender to the thoughts equal to their emotional state. So if you're in a state of gratitude,

Every thought's going to make it right down into your body. If you're saying, I'm healthy, I'm healthy, I'm healthy, I'm wealthy, I'm wealthy, I'm wealthy, and your body's programmed in negativity.

It's saying, No, you're not, no, you're not, no, you're not. Thought's gonna stop right here.

So, as you elevate your state, there are about 1,200 different chemical reactions that go on in the body that begin to restore and repair the body in a state of gratitude.

And so, we've done the research to improve that. 10 minutes and just feel it with all of your heart.
That's it.

Third thing,

and very important:

take time, whenever it is,

sit down, close your eyes, and begin to just open your awareness to the space around you and just sense it and pay attention to it and become more aware of it.

The act of opening your awareness begins to reduce the stress hormones and creates more coherent brainwave states. I'm doing it right now.
And it's just a practice. It's just a practice.

And the more you do it, the better you get at it. Wow.
Who's been your greatest teacher? Oh, life, no doubt about it. I believe that life is our initiation.
I mean,

I do my best to see my life as a reflection of my mind.

And

I think that life is our greatest teacher. Reflection of your mind is essentially like

what you've created is a reflection of how you've been thinking. Yeah.
Yeah, exactly. So if you're showing up sick physically, then that's what you've created in your life.

Look, I don't believe that germs make me sick. I believe I make me sick.
I do. I mean, there's no germs with my name on it out there.

I mean, they're called opportunistic bacteria because they're waiting for an opportunity for your immune system to be compromised. And so for me personally,

you have to ask myself this question every day.

At what point do I stop believing that I create my life?

What is that point? So I'm always pushing that envelope a little bit more. So for me, I think life is our initiation.
We don't need to go to any ancient ancient school of wisdom in the Himalayas.

Life is our initiation. And when you meet the challenges in your life from a greater level of mind, you're going to begin to move through those initiations.
And what is the side effect of that?

Wisdom. And that's what we take with us.
Being wise. Powerful.
Wow. How can we connect with you online and go to your events? What's the best

place to go to?

Yeah, so my website is just drjo the spenza.com d-r-j-o-e theespenza.com And there's just a ton of resources there. We have an online progressive course now.

I don't teach those courses anymore because my interest is in the week-longs. So for people who come to a week-long, they do a

home study course where they get the basics, they understand what we're doing. It's about 23 hours.
They can do it in however long they want.

And then with that comes another study course, and then they can come to a week-long and join a community of people that are all about passion and the unknown. Amazing.
Amazing. When's the next event?

Well, the next event, gosh, the next week long is in Toronto September 1st through 7th, and it's pretty close to sold out.

Then we'll be in Australia in October, and then the UK in November, and then Cancun, Mexico in December. And then

I got a couple events that I'm doing here and there.

Other things, yeah. Ways him.
Yeah.

A couple final questions for you. This one's called the Three Truths.
I'm going to ask everyone at the end.

If you imagine it's your last day many years from now

and you've achieved or created or been anything you've wanted to do, you've done it all, right?

Everything you can think of has happened, created it, books, events, whatever you want to do, heal the world, you've done it all.

For whatever reason, you've got to take everything with you. All your writings, your research, your material, videos, events.
It's not available for anyone to have anymore.

But you have a piece of paper and you get to write down three things you know to be true true about your life or the lessons that you would leave behind.

And this is the only lessons that they would have access to.

What would you say? Are you three truths?

Wow.

Number one is that the divine lives in every human being and that

we have to make an effort to connect with it every day. And when we do, it answers the call in ways that we would just never anticipate.
And

I know that to be the truth and that nobody is so special to be excluded excluded from that.

Number two is that we are the creators of our lives and not the victims of our lives. And that taking time in your life to invest in yourself is to invest in a future.

And when you invest in yourself, you invest in your future. And when you believe in yourself, you believe in possibility.
And I think that everybody secretly believes in themselves.

And so taking time to understand that we are just works in progress and to find time to forgive ourselves and to forgive others and start fresh the next day is a blessing, is a blessing. And finally,

I think that it's not our purpose in life to be popular or successful or beautiful or

intelligent. Our purpose in life is to remove those blocks.
those veils, those limitations that stand in the way between us and that divine intelligence.

And when we do, it begins to make its way through us and we become more like it. We become more loving.
It is a loving intelligence. We become more giving.
It's a giver of life.

We become more conscious. It's a consciousness.
We become more mindful. It has an infinite mind.
We become more willful.

It has an amazing will. Its nature becomes our nature.
Its mind becomes our mind.

And then we don't have to try to be liked or try to be important or try to be recognized. We're just happy for no reason at all.
And I think that is the natural state of being.

And I think that we innately know that on some level.

Great truth. Thank you.
Thank you.

Before I ask the final question, I want to acknowledge you for a moment, Joe, for constantly pushing the envelopes on what's possible and constantly learning and growing and researching so that you can continue to help so many people in the world overcome pain, overcome stress, overcome disease, anything that's holding us back.

And I really acknowledge the work that you're doing because I think it's wakening so many people up to what they thought was possible and were limited to to now what is actually possible for them.

So I acknowledge you for all that. Thank you.
I'll link that in all the way. Thank you.
I appreciate it. And we'd love to have you come back on sometime in the future.

But for now, I think that's going to blow people's minds. I was extremely inspired by everything you said.
So the final question is, what's your definition of greatness?

So greatness, my definition of greatness is to be greater than your environment, to be greater than your body, and to be greater than time. And if you do, you will be great.
I mean that is it.

True. Thank you, man.
Appreciate you.
