well a habit is a redundant set of
automatic unconscious thoughts behaviors
and emotions that’s acquired through
repetition the habit is when you’ve done
done something so many times that your
body now knows how to do it better than
your mind so if you think about it
people wake up in the morning they begin
to think about their problems those
problems are circuits memories in the
brain each one of those memories are
connected to people and things at
certain times and places and if the
brain is a record of the past the moment
they start their day they’re already
thinking in the past each one of those
memories has an emotion emotions are the
end product of past experiences so the
moment they recall those memories of
their problems they all of a sudden feel
unhappy they feel sad they feel pain now
how you think and how you feel creates
your state of being so the person’s
entire state of being when they start
their day is in the past so what does
that mean the familiar past will sooner
or later be predictable future so if you
believe that your thoughts have
something to do with your destiny and
you can’t think greater than how you
feel our feelings have become the means
of thinking by very definition of
emotions your thinking in the past and
for the most part you’re going to keep
creating the same life so then people
grab their cellphone they check their
what’s up they check their text they
check their emails they check facebook
they take a picture of their feet they
post it on Facebook they tweet something
they do Instagram they check the news
and now they feel really connected to
everything that’s known in their life
and then they go through a series of
routine behaviors they get out of bed on
the same side they go to the toilet they
get a cup of coffee they take a shower
they get dressed they drive to work the
same way they do the same things they
see the same people that push the same
emotional buttons and that be
comes the routine and it becomes like a
program so now they’ve lost their free
will to a program and there’s no unseen
hand doing it to them so when it comes
time to change the redundancy of that
cycle becomes a subconscious program so
now 95% of who we are by the time we’re
35 years old is a memorized set of
behaviors emotional reactions
unconscious habits hardwired attitudes
beliefs and perceptions that function
like a computer program so then person
can say with their 5 percent of their
conscious mind I want to be healthy I
want to be happy I want to be free but
the body is on a whole different program
so then how do you begin to make those
changes well you have to get beyond the
analytical mind because what separates
the conscious mind from the subconscious
mind is the analytical mind and that’s
where meditation comes in because you
can teach people through practice how to
change their brainwaves slow them down
and when they do that properly they do
enter the operating system where they
can begin to make some really important
changes so most people then wait for
crisis or trauma or disease or diagnosis
no they wait for loss some tragedy to
make up their mind to change and my
message is why wait and and you can
learn and change in a state of pain and
suffering or you can learn and change in
a state of joy and inspiration I think
right now the cool thing is that people
are waking up that’s really interesting
and where I found the deepest hooks into
how powerful this can be for somebody is
when you talk about trauma you’ve talked
about how people experience a traumatic
event but they then basically rehearse
it and how that then has this knock-on
effect so what is that why do people
find it so hard to get past trauma the
stronger the emotional reaction you have
to some experience in your life the
higher the emotional quotient the more
you pay attention to the cause in the
moment the brain puts all of its
attention on the cause it takes a
snapshot and that’s called a memory so
long-term memories are created from very highly
emotional experiences so what happens
then is that people think neurologically
within the circuitry of that experience
and they feel chemically within the
boundaries of those emotions and so when
you have an emotional reaction to
someone or something most people think
that they can’t control their emotional
reaction well it turns out if you allow
that emotional reaction it’s called a
refractory period to last for hours or
days that’s called the mood I say to
someone hey what’s up and so I’m gonna
move well why are you in a mood well I
had this thing happen to me five days
ago and I’m having one long emotional
reaction if you keep that same emotional
reaction going on for weeks or months
that’s called temperament why is he so
bitter I don’t know let’s ask him why is he so better
why are you bitter well I had this thing
happened to me nine months ago and if
you keep that same emotional reaction
going on for years on end
that’s called a personality trait and so
learning how to shorten your refractory
period of emotional reactions is really
where that work starts so then people
when they have an event what they do is
they keep recalling the event because
the emotions of stress hormones the
survival emotions are saying pay
attention to what happened because you
want to be prepared if it happens again
turns out most people spend 70% of their
life living in survival and living in
stress so they’re they’re always
anticipating the worst-case scenario
based on a past experience and they’re
literally out of the infinite potentials
in the quantum field they’re selecting
the worst possible outcome and they’re
beginning to emotionally embrace it with
fear and their conditioning their body
into a state of fear do that enough
times body has a panic attack without
you you you can’t even predict it
because it’s programmed subconsciously
so then you say to the person why are
you this way and they’ll say I am this
way because of this event that happened to me
fifteen or twenty years ago and what
that means from biological standpoint is
that they haven’t been able to change
since that event so then the emotions
from the experience tend to give the
body and the brain a rush of energy so
people become addicted to the rush of
those emotions and they use the problems
and conditions in their life to reaffirm
their limitation so at least they can
feel something so now when it comes time
to change you say the person why are you
this way well every time they recall the
event they’re producing the same
chemistry in their brain and body as if
the event is occurring firing and wiring
the same circuits and sentence the same
emotional signature to the body
what’s the revelant behind that well
your body is the unconscious mind it
doesn’t know the difference between the
experience that’s creating the emotion
and the emotion that you’re creating by
thought alone so the body’s believing
it’s living in the same past experience
24 hours a day seven days a week 365 days a year
and so then when those emotions
influence certain thoughts and they do
and then those thoughts create the same
emotions and those same emotions
influence the same thoughts now the
entire person’s state of being is in the
past so then the hardest part about
change is not making the same choice as
you did the baby for a period and the
moment you decide to make a different
choice get ready because it’s going to
feel uncomfortable the bigger thing is
that we we keep firing and wiring those
circuits they become more hardwired so
there you have a thought and then the
program runs but it’s the emotion that
follows the thought if you have a if you
have a fearful thought you’re gonna feel
anxiety the moment you feel anxiety your
brains checking in with your body and
saying yeah you’re pretty anxious so
then you start thinking more
corresponding thoughts equal to how you
feel while the redundancy of that cycle
conditions the body to become the mind
so now when it comes time to change the
person’s steps into that river of change
and they make a different choice and all
of a sudden they don’t they don’t feel
the same way so the body says well
you’ve been doing this for 35 years
well you’re gonna just stop field
suffering and stop feeling guilty and
stop feeling shameful and you’re not
gonna complain or blame or make excuses
or feel sorry for yourself long the
body’s in the unknown so the body says I
want to return back to the familiar
territory so the body starts influencing
the mind then it says start tomorrow
too much like your mother you’ll never
change this isn’t gonna work for you
this doesn’t feel right in so if you
respond to that thought as if it’s true
that same thought will lead to the same
choice which will lead to the same
behavior which will create the same
experience which produce the same
emotion I want to talk about that notion
of give me a little more detail what you
mean by the body becomes the mind or the
unconscious mind what do you mean by
that exactly well those are two
different things your body is your
unconscious mind in a sense if you’re
sitting down and you start thinking
about some future worst-case scenario
that you’re conjuring up in your mind
and you begin to feel the emotion of
that event your body doesn’t know the
difference between the event that’s
taking place in your world our world and
what you’re creating by emotion our
thought alone so most people then
they’re they’re constantly reaffirming
their emotional states so when it comes
time to give up that emotion they can
say I really want to do it but really
the body is stronger than the mind
because it’s been conditioned that way
so the servant now has become the master
and the person all of a sudden once they
step into that unknown they’d rather
feel guilt and suffering because at
least they can predict it being the
unknown is a scary place for most people
because the unknown is uncertain you
know people say to me well I can’t
predict my future I’m in the unknown and
I always say the best way to predict
your future is to create it not from the
known but from the unknown what thoughts
do you want to fire and wire in your
brain what behaviors do you want to
demonstrate in one day the act of
rehearsing the mentally closing your
eyes and rehearsing the action
they’re rehearsing the reaction of what
you want or the reaction of what you
want by closing your eyes and mentally
rehearsing some action if you’re truly
present the brain does not know the
difference between what you’re imaging
and what you’re experiencing in 3d world
so then you begin to install the
neurological hardware in your brain to
look like the event has already occurred
now your brain is no longer a record of
the past now it’s a map to the future
and if you keep doing it priming it that
way the hardware becomes a software
program and who knows you just may start
acting like a happy person and then I
think that the hardest part is to teach
our body emotionally but the future will
feel like ahead of the actual experience
so what does that mean you can’t wait
for your success to feel empowered you
can’t wait for your wealth to feel
abundant you can’t wait for your you’re
a new relationship to feel loved or your
healing to feel whole I mean that’s the
old model of reality of cause and effect
you know waiting for something outside
of us to change how we feel inside of us
and when we feel better inside of us we
pay attention to ever or whatever caused
it but what that means then is that from
the Newtonian worlds that most people
spend their whole life living and lack
will hitting through something you
change out there what do you mean the
Newtonian world a Newtonian world is all
about the predictable it’s all about
predicting a future but the quantum
model of reality isn’t is about causing
an effect the moment you start feeling
abundant and worthy you are generating
wealth the moment you’re empowered and
feel it you’re beginning to step towards your success
the moment you start feeling whole your
healing begins and when you love
yourself and you love all of life you’ll
create an equal and now you’re causing
an effect and I think that’s that the
difference between living as a victim
in their world saying I am this way
because of this person or that thing or
this experience they made me think and
feel this way when you switch that
around you become a creator of your
world and you start saying my thinking
and my feeling is changing an outcome in
my life and now that’s a whole different
game and we start believing more that
we’re creators of reality so how do we
go from okay I have this negative
emotion it’s controlling my life it’s
got me in this cycle of I think about
this emotion which triggers a chemical
reaction which trains my body to feel
that way which makes it easier more
likely I will do it again and so now I’m
in this vicious line unconscious and
it’s unconscious right and you you said
does your thinking create your
environment unders your environment
create your thinking which I thought was
really really interesting so how do we
then go from that like mechanistically
to begin this visualization process of
something that’s empowering its me in a
different state is my future self is it
meditation is it what does that look
like if you’re not being defined by a
vision of the future then you’re left
with the old memories of the past and
you will be predictable in your life and
if you wake up in the morning and you’re
not being defined by a vision in the
future as you see the same people and
you go to the same places and you do the
exact same thing at the exact same time
it’s no longer that your personality is
creating your personal reality now your
personal reality is affecting or
creating your personality your
environment is really controlling how
you think and feel unconsciously because
every person everything every place of
the experience has a neurological
network in your brain every experience
that you have with every person produces
an emotion so some people will use their
boss to reaffirm their addiction to
judgment they’ll use their enemy to
reaffirm their addiction to hatred to
use their friends that we affirm their
addiction to suffering so now they need
the outer world to feel something so
to change them is to be greater than
your environment to be greater than the
conditions in your world and the
environments is that seductive so then
why is meditation the tool well let’s
sit down let’s close our eyes let’s
disconnect from your outer environment
so if you’re seeing less things is less
stimulation going to your brain if
you’re playing soft music or you have
earplugs in less sensory information
coming to your brain so you’re
disconnecting from your environment if
you can sit your body down and tell it
to stay like an animal stay right here
I’m gonna feed you when we’re done you
can get up and check your emails you can
do all your texts but right now you’re
gonna sit there and obey me so then when
you do that properly and the you’re not
eating anything or smelling anything or
tasting anything you’re not up
experiencing and feeling anything you
would have to agree with me that you’re
being defined by a thought right so when
the body wants to go back to its
emotional past and you become aware that
your attention is on that emotion and
where you place your attention is where
you place your energy your siphoning
your energy out of the present moment
into the past and you become aware of
that and you settle your body back down
in the present moment because it’s
saying well it’s eight o’clock you
normally get upset because you’re in
traffic around this time and here you
are sitting and we’re used to feeling
anger and you’re off schedule oh it’s 11
o’clock and usually check your emails
and judge everybody well your body’s
looking for that that predictable
chemical state every time you become
aware that you’re doing that and your
body is craving those emotions and you
settle it back down into the present
moment you’re telling the body it’s no
longer the mind that you’re the mind and
now your will is getting greater than
the program and if you keep doing this
over and over again over and over again
over and over again just like training a
stallion or a dog it’s just gonna say
I’m gonna sit and the moment that
happens the body’s no longer the mind
when it finally surrenders there’s a
liberation of energy we go from particle
to wave from matter to energy and we
free ourselves from the chains on those
emotions that keep us in the in the
familiar past and we’ve seen this
thousands of times in fact we can
actually predict it now on a brain skin
