0:56You talk about these networks and vibrations. You mentioned this, the physiology of manifesting. I'm curious, is it more important to be thinking a certain intention or certain ideas or beliefs, feeling certain emotions, or physically in a vibration, total body, to help you manifest? Well, certainly if you can bring it all together, I mean, that's the ideal. But I think one is, again, we've talked about limited beliefs. Yes. You have to understand what causes you to limit your belief. And in some ways, it comes down to self-compassion. When you're kind to yourself, then that changes your own physiology.

1:43It shifts you from the fear network. And critical network into compassion, right? Yes, exactly. And so I think that's an important aspect. And again, as an example, I talk about these different networks. There's the default mode network. There's the salience network, the attention network, and the executive control network. Now, the reason I mention these is the executive control network actually gets things done, if you want to put it that way. But if you're driven by fear and anxiety and insecurity, then that limits its ability to do so because you don't have full access, because that's where you have productivity and creativity.

2:27Full access to what? Your entire, your memories and past experiences. This is what the executive control network contains. And it's shut down when you're fearful or anxious. And so that's one aspect. And then, you know, the other aspect we talked about embedding your intentions. You know, you have to make that thing you want salient. What does that mean? It means it has to be something that touches you that you really feel like it's there with you and you want it. And the reason I bring that up is because salience, it activates, if you want to call it, a bloodhound within your head where it looks around for opportunities for you to manifest.

3:15I'll give you an example. You're talking about bloodhound or you're talking about something else? uh not a they it's search for things right it's a scent right uh you know that's what they do for rescue missions right yes yes exactly uh so what i mean by that is that if you're able to embed your intention that activates the salience network which is the bloodhound and the analogy is as follows i'm sure you have been to parties and they're loud and your name will be mentioned and you'll immediately turn, even though it's in the loud. You're like, where is this? Yeah, but that's because your identity is deeply embedded within.

3:55Interesting, yes. So when you do this in terms of an intention, and I'll give a recent example, I'm working on a new project and I was at a coffee shop. Again, loud, everybody talking. But I heard somebody specifically talk about the project type of the thing I'm doing. So I got up and introduced myself. We connect it. And that's how it works because it creates these synchronicities because it's always turned on listening for opportunities, how it can make your intention happen. And another example is as a neurosurgeon, you know, I would see patients as an example, let's say somebody with hydrocephalus, right?

4:37And most people don't know about that. And they go, oh, my God, I've never heard of that before. Is that rare? Well, it's not that rare. and obviously if you're seeing a neurosurgeon it's not rare to us but but what will happen is i'll see them in a few months and they'll come in like the most amazing thing happened i've run into five people with the exact same thing right right right because they have embedded that interesting uh and so they're attuned to it and suddenly it's like it's everywhere set up
