Bruce Lipton: The Program Running 95% of Your Life

28:14Lewis Howes:The School of Greatness is brought to you in partnership with Airbnb. One of my favorite parts of travel is when a trip gives you a feeling you can't really plan for. You're walking through a new city in the morning, you're grabbing coffee, and you're talking to someone local, and suddenly the place feels a little bit more familiar. These are the moments that stay with me. They're the things that I crave. Not just the photos, but the feeling of being somewhere new and still finding meaningful connection. And that's what I love about Airbnb. When you're away having your own adventure, your home doesn't have to just sit empty either.

28:49Lewis Howes:You can share your space on Airbnb and give another traveler a chance to fall in love with your city the way that you fall in love with the places that you visit. And maybe there's a big game coming up, or maybe people are coming in for a once-in-a-lifetime concert. They need a place that feels comfortable and inviting, and the income from sharing your home can help pay for your own trips. Your home might be worth more than you think.

So if someone has a desire, a wish, or a dream, and they've fallen in love with this idea, this creative mind, if I want to have this experience or adventure or life or relationship or whatever it might be, but then something happens and they hit a wall over and over and over again, why are they hitting that wall? And what does it take for them to overcome that so they can fulfill the dream, the wish, or the desire. I'm going to give you a number that is very significant, and that is over 80 % of the population will not test positive for the belief I love myself.

31:45I go, 80 % of people, they can't love themselves. I say, well, you know, this is a problem because if someone says they love you and you look at them and go, you obviously have no quality control. oh, I know I'm not lovable. And then you'll push them away. And then when they're dying, you go, see, I'm not lovable. The point about it is simply that it comes from parenting and programming in F7 News. Where is the crux of the problem? And here it is, straight up. And you have two young girls. Young girls.

32:21Lewis Howes:So give me the advice. What do I need to do to show up in a way for the first seven years so my kids have a programming that they believe they can love themselves. They have to get what they want. It's very simple, but here's the problem, okay? Number one, parents act like the coach of a sports team. If the kid isn't doing well, they'll become the coach. I say, yeah, let's go to an older child on a team. They're not performing well. The coach doesn't go, oh, please, please do better. No, that's not good enough. Who do you think you are? You don't deserve to be on this team. Criticize. Because an older child will go, oh, I'm not working hard enough.

33:06I'll do better. When the parent acts as that coach and the kid's under seven, they're not conscious. They're recording. I'm not good enough. I'm not smart enough. I'm not deserving. If the parent says those things, the child's just downloading us at the time. and that becomes a program. And I say, operate from a program not deserving. After age seven, I'm now 30, 40 years old. I'm working on a job. I'd let you get that raise. I want to get that next level. I screw up. And I go, oh, shoot, I screwed up. I screwed up. I can't get there. I don't deserve it. I go, you are manifesting the program. Your life has to be coherent with the program.

33:58If you have a positive program, your life is coherent. If you have a negative program, it's coherent. And the significance is, well, how do I make that kid? How do you take your two beautiful kids and make them superstars? Tell them they're superstars. Every day, every day, you're beautiful, you're smart, you can do anything. Why? I download subconscious every day. I can do anything. I can become anything.

34:30Lewis Howes:Now, is there a downside to speaking those things to them? Is there like, you know, if they don't back it with hard work or if they're not willing to learn new skills? They will learn it if you're living it because they're copying. You're modeling it. You're the model. A famous book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad. If you grew up in a rich family, you were modeling how to become rich by watching how this family operates. If you come from a poor family, you were being programmed as life's hard, not likely to happen, working and struggling. That's the way it is. I go, and that's why the book acknowledges if you came from that rich family, don't worry, you're getting a good program.

35:16But if you can't find a poor family, I'm sorry, your life is already a struggle. Wow.

35:22Lewis Howes:So how does someone break the program if it's been negatively holding them back? Oh, you got a million dollar answer. We've all been programmed one way or another. Some have programs that are empowering and supportive for their self-image and self-belief. Most of us don't. But 80 % have programs that are limiting. They're critical. If you're critical of yourself, you'll look at something, no, I'm not worthy of you. I don't deserve you. And you will then, your behavior has to be coherent with the program. If it's a negative program, then you will manifest negative behavior. It's not a choice. It's just a manifestation.

36:00That's the way it works. So how do we break that program? Oh, okay.

36:05Lewis Howes:We'll come back in chapter two. Because it sounds like for 40-ish years you had this program. Absolutely. And then all of a sudden you learned how to live in a honeymoon program. Yes. Where every day was a beautiful adventure. Yeah. Every day had magic and awe and wonder. Every day. I love my life. Possibilities and endless things came to you that you desired. So how did you shift that? First of all, you have to know you have a program. Yeah. So it's the awareness first. You have to have your awareness. I said, well, how do you know what your programs are? I said, well, you were being programmed officially three months before you were born.

36:39Wow. Why? Why? your mother is living in the world, that the program comes from the blood, the growth medium. Well, the blood has nutrition. Yeah, that's for growing. But the blood has emotional chemicals, stress chemicals, you know, all these different factors from the brain. So the blood has nutrition and information. If the mother is struggling, then her blood chemistry will have stress hormones and things like that. It will then work. I said, but that blood goes into the placenta, into the womb, and that blood becomes a growth medium for the cells of the fetus. So if she's under stress, the growing fetus is under stress.

37:33Why? The same hormones that are stressing her come into the fetus. The fetus doesn't know why, but it knows what stress is all about because the chemistry affects the fetus. So we start getting programmed then, okay? The issue then becomes, how do I get the program? Well, between the three months before birth and to age seven, your brain is in a state of theta, hypnosis. I always remember in the old days, hypnotherapists, they would have a watch on a pendulum and they'd swing it back and forth and they would say, you're getting sleepy, you're getting tired. I said, what were they? Ah, bringing the vibration of the brain toward sleep.

38:19Why? Because when consciousness is going down low, theta is coming up. So I can hypnotize you if you're on the edge of not even being awake. Okay, today, first thing we said, how do you know what the problem is? I said, simple. Look at your life right now. I said, what? The things you like that come into your life, they come in because you have a program to acknowledge. But the things you work hard, stress over, I'm sweating, I'm making, I'm working hard. Why work it so hard? And the answer is, whatever that destination is, the program in that subconscious mind doesn't support it. And you're trying to override the program.

39:09I go, it's not going to work. You can't do it that way. So how do we do it? Okay, so now we're going back to how did you get the program? You were in theta. I said, well, guess what? While you're watching the show, hopefully you're in beta, high focus, and after the show, we get a glass of wine, silly smoke or whatever, and you relax and your vibration comes down to alpha. And then the moment you fall asleep, alpha vibration stops, but theta is predominant. Ah, theta is hypnosis. So I said, then what? Put earbuds in, earphones. At the moment you're ready to go to bed, you put a program on of something that wants to be true in your life, self-help program.

39:59You can buy them, okay? I say, then what? Every night you go to bed, you put your earphones, earbuds, and as you're sleeping, the program is playing into the mind via theta, and you're downloading while you're sleeping. I love it because what's your effort? Fall asleep. I know, okay, that's all I have to do. Yeah, fall asleep. You have to repeat it a lot because it's not a long period of time. What, 10 minutes? I don't know how many. It probably lasts than 10 minutes. Yeah. You can get a solid hypnotic zone every night when you fall asleep. And you repeat it. Mm-hmm. And I remember the first time I used one of those was Louise Hay.

40:47and it was interesting because there was a part before the programming where she say, okay, relax, let your legs relax, let your arms, let your jaw. What was what? Relaxation. Why? Because the moment you fully relax, you were gone. So I always remember in the beginning, I heard the exercise and I heard some of the programming. The next time I played, less of the programming, less of the programming. It was the relaxation exercise that became a habit. I laid down, started the relaxation, and before she finished, I was asleep. Yeah. And then the program played. So number one, self-hypnosis. And you have to pick the program.

41:39And as I said, wherever your struggle is, why are you struggling? because they're trying to override a program that doesn't support where you want to go. And you can't override it. You can't force. No. It's a hard drive. Yeah. I have a computer. I open it up. I put it in the program. My player says, oh, change the program. Oh, come on, computer. Change the program. I say, how am I talking to that computer before the program changes? I go, subconscious program. There's nobody in there. So if you give it, I'm giving myself a good talking to. Who are you talking to? I'm talking to subconscious. I go, there's nobody in there.

42:23It's a hard drive. It's a feat of the new program. What's that?

42:27Lewis Howes:You have to download it. You have to put a new program. You can't talk it out of an old program. Interesting. So do you have a belief, which is a program. Yes. And you try to give it, you try to talk to yourself and say, I'm going to overcome this old belief. just speaking to try to overcome a belief or a program that you've had for decades is not going to work. Maybe it'll help you in a moment, try to do some step, but you're not going to - Weight is pro - You're not coherent to that. Weight is program, okay? Or if I'm overweight, I'm going on a diet. I say, if you work really, really hard, you can lose weight.

43:04The moment you stop working hard, the weight will come right back. Why? You didn't change the program, okay? You worked hard, but you didn't change the program. And that's why weight loss becomes a matter of like, I went through, I had to eat this garbage, I don't like it, but I'm losing weight. I go, great. Stop doing that and the next thing you know, whatever you lost will come back. Because weight is a program.

43:33Lewis Howes:If weight is a program, uh what is it i think more than 50 percent of the population is obese or overweight at the moment i think it's maybe it's more now i'm not sure yeah what is that program that causes people to gain so much weight and struggle losing the weight and in this scenario how could you reprogram or download a new program to show yourself that and believe that losing weight doesn't have to be so hard. No. Okay. Number one, why are so many people having a problem? I said stress. Eating food for most people is a drug. If I'm eating food, I'm not here. I'm enjoying, oh, that tastes so good.

44:18I look forward to this dessert. I'm living in the moment with this food. But the problem is you are numbing the program, and you're eating all this food so you don't have to hear or respond to the program. It's a drug. Food is a drug, okay? And the problem about it is it takes your mind off of the program. I've got a moment, I'm eating food, the world's not bothering me. I'm enjoying this food, and I'll have to eat more because stress is more. Now I need to supersize me. And the idea about it is, well, weight is a program. I say, so what do you want to do? You want to change the program? I say, you want to change the given weight you've been living at because that's like a thermostat.

45:10Subconscious says, that's our weight. We learned this, okay? I say, whatever weight. Let's say you're 180 and you want to be 140. I say, then what do you do? You change the program. My weight is 140. My weight is 140. While we're doing it, it's very important. You can't say, my weight will be 140. I will get healthy. I want 140. I go, will, want. I say, why is that important? You're making a recording. Okay, so yeah, today I want to be 140. It's a recording. I say, next year. Oh, yeah. Let's take that recording. I want to be 140. It's like, oh, you're so wanted. You never said you were 140. You were saying a wish to be 140.

46:04That's not being 140. So it's funny because when you program, fact, you have to program the program as if you have what you want now. Because the job of the mind is to make the program real. So I say I'm 140. I program it. And the mind goes, no, you're not. you're 180. You have, oh, 140. The mind will shift and take you down to 140 to be coherent with the program.

46:34Lewis Howes:But if you're saying a program, if you're 180 and you're trying to be 140 and you say, I am 140, isn't that incoherent? Wouldn't you not believe it because it's a lie essentially in the now? Oh, yeah. But so we didn't go to number two. So we do number one, self-hypnosis, okay? Which you can do is that way. Most programming that affects us personally is after age seven, where you're beginning to use your consciousness and living in this life, okay? And I say, because we talk about number one way, self-hypnosis, but now comes number two, And number two is repetition, habituation. Something you repeat over and over again.

47:21You're making a habit out of it. So when you say, I am 140, I am 140, and you keep repeating that, you're not dealing with the conscious mind. The repetition is what changes a program, a habit. My habit now is 140. And when you get that habit established, the function of the mind, this is like people taking notes here. The function of the mind is to make coherence between your belief and your reality. If your belief is negative, the function of the mind is to manifest negative. If your belief is positive, it will do positive. But you have to have a program. And after you're seven hypnosis, you can make new programs.

48:09So if you're an adult and you say, well, I can do self-hypnosis, I go, yeah. But you can also do repetition. The new age one always struck me kind of humorous. It's you're not a happy person. You want to be a happy person? All day long, to yourself, I am happy. I am happy. I am happy. there's a point where you'll wake up one day you won't even have to say it why now by repetition the mind will make sure when you wake up to be coherent i will be happy i am happy

48:48Lewis Howes:someone watching or listening right now has never seen any of this work before they're not in this space someone sent them this video or this audio and they don't believe in any of this stuff they're kind of skeptical, they live in a victim mindset of like, that just sounds like a bunch of nonsense, you know, the power of like positive thinking or the power of repetition or just the power of like saying something that I'm not, you know, isn't that just sound like fake? If I said I'm happy, I'm wealthy, I am healthy, but I'm actually broke, unlovable and fat. Like how do I, how do I believe these words that I'm saying that are so not true currently?

49:29positive thinking. And you go, come on, that doesn't work. I go, guess what? More than 50 % of medical healings are all placebo. I believe that. And I say, and what is placebo? Well, Lewis, here's this pill that would guarantee you to take care of that problem you had your whole life. This is a brand new pill. It's purple. It's still going to work. Okay. And you take the pill and you get better. And then you come back and find out it was a sugar pill. A sugar pill. Well, what heals you? Oh, sugar. Your belief in the pill. Positive thinking. Placebo is all positive thinking. An operation, it's not even real, it's called a sham.

50:18A fake operation will heal you as much as a real operation will. Okay? And so that's positive thinking. Now, what you let out, and hello, people, this is the part that becomes important, that is healing through positive thinking. What about negative thinking? Equally powerful, positive thinking, but in the opposite direction.

50:45Lewis Howes:How much effect does negative thinking have on our life? I think almost all the health care crisis, the results of a negative thinking, manifest through stress. What's stress? It's not working the way I want it to work. I can't get there. That's negative thinking. I can't get there. And that is where the stress comes from. Stress is you have an idea of what you want. It's not working. That's stress. You know, and let me ask this because we're talking about when I mentioned the red pill, falling in love, okay? I want to emphasize this because does it mean I have to fall in love with a person? I don't know.

51:30You can have a pet. That's a substitute. That works, okay? Or you can be a gardener, growing a gardener. What does it do? It stops you from thinking. You're doing mechanical things. I'm digging in the dirt and planting the seeds. It's a meditation. A chef is a meditation. I'm going to create this magnificent meal. I need to add this and this and I need to do this and that. And all of a sudden, guess what? You're not thinking. I say, well, what happens when you're not thinking? The conscious mind is not working. Now you're manifesting. a great meal, a wonderful garden, whatever, okay? So the idea about that, I just wanted to take down that, oh, I have to fall in love with somebody?

52:22No. You have to do something you love. Oh, love what? Fall in love with that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because that means then your attention is drawn to that and the outside world is not coming in. That's basically it.

54:19Lewis Howes:So you were a medical school professor for a long time. Yeah. But you also study the science of spirituality and quantum physics. Yeah. So what is the science of spirituality, and how does it tie in with quantum physics? Oh, I love this. Thank you very much, because the evolution we're facing requires people to understand spirituality is a science. There's a very important reason. Okay, so first of all, spirituality. Give me an idea about it. I say, number one, I cannot put my heart, lung, kidney into your body, Lewis. Why? Because if I put my cells into your body, your immune system will say not self.

55:04And the immune system's job will destroy it. If you put your cells into somebody else's body, their immune system will say not self. Now we're getting to a point. What is it? We have a self that is distinguished from everybody else. No two people in the entire world have the same self. I go, well, how do you know it? What is it? I go, the immune system can see it. I go, so what? The immune system sees physical things, viruses, bacteria, parasites, somebody else's cells. It sees something physical. Now we know what it is. I say, what is it? On the surface of your cells, except for the red blood cells.

55:49Red blood cells don't have these identity markers. That's why transfusion red blood cells, just cell type, A, B, O, okay? As long as they match the... As long as they match the blood type, there's no identity for the cells. Interesting, okay? The cells with the nucleus are the cells that have on the surface a bunch of receptors. They're on the surface, on the skin of the cell. I go, parallel, we are a cell incarnate. Receptors, eyes, ears, nose, taste, touch, they're all part of our skin. On the cell's skin, there are a set of proteins, receptors. Receptor means receiver. No two people in the whole world have the same set of self-receptors.

56:47That's what they call self-receptors. I go, what about them? Well, they were mislabeled originally. They said, oh, the physical receptor is making me different than you, okay? It's not the physical receptor. It's what the receptor is reading, the information. I say, well, where's the information coming from? You go, these receptors are on the surface. So they give you identity. I say, then where's the signal of identity? Out here? It's not here. It comes into here. Now, interesting, a scientist, astronaut, Brian O 'Leary, did a wonderful study. He put cells of his body in a test tube, moved them 350 miles away from him.

57:45So he's here, his cells 350 miles away. They put a recording device to record the electrical activity of the cells. Now it was a split-screen television. Half of it, Brian O 'Leary live. The other half, live readout from the test group. When Brian had an emotional response, instantaneously, instantly, not even a live period, no way, the cells 350 miles got activated. That's crazy. Well, because here comes the cool part. The information that is picked up by cell receptors comes from the environment. This is where quantum physics comes in. A quote, I love this quote, Albert Einstein. We talk about energy, a field, the field.

58:39We're in a field right now. Cell phone broadcast, television broadcast, radio broadcast, solar energy. We're in an energy field. Definition of field, invisible moving forces that influence the physical world. spirit, invisible moving forces that influence the physical world. Quantum science has recognized that these receptors are picking up a field and that you are picking up an energy field broadcast different than anybody else in the entire world. You have your own broadcast station. Okay, now the analogy. The body is a television set. The program is picked up from the broadcast and downloaded via these receptors.

59:36The point that is so cool is you're watching your TV and it breaks. TV's dead! TV's dead! Did the broadcast die? No. it's up here. It's in the field. It's everywhere. And the point about it is, so your television's gone, you're dead. Ah, but your identity was the spirit field. Okay? Now comes the cool part. Well, now you're dead. You have no body. You're an energy field. But an infant in the future has the same antennas as you. You're back. New TV. Does it make a difference male or female? That's the TV. You are the broadcast. You are not the TV. Does it make a difference to white, brown, black, red, yellow?

1:00:31No, that's the TV. You are the broadcast. when people start to recognize we all come from the same field. We all are coming from the same energy field, quantum physics, which acknowledges spirit as an energy field unique to each one of us. You cannot die. You're not in here. Okay? Now, where are you? Where's the podcast? The television show is playing right now. I can't see it. Why? I need the TV. Okay.

1:01:07Lewis Howes:So we're the TV. We're receiving a signal. We're receiving a broadcast. Absolutely. We're projecting the broadcast. The program is manifesting. The Bruce Show. Right now, live. Okay. Profoundly important. You know that distancing I mentioned with the movie itself? Here's an interesting fact. There was a scientific study on liver regeneration. And they were doing histology. And they found that a number of women in their regenerated liver had Y chromosomes. Wait, Y chromosomes are male chromosomes. Where the hell does this woman get Y chromosomes in cells to regenerate? They all had male babies.

1:01:58Here's what they found out. stem cells from the baby cross through in the blood to the mother.

1:02:08Lewis Howes:Interesting. So the mother is like the test tube we talked about with Brian O 'Leary. She's got her own baby's stem cells in her body. Is that what you hear mothers say they can feel their kids across the world, that something is off or they might be going through something? This feeling, this sense, and then they call them and they're like, yes, something was going on. Exactly. That's fascinating. Because there's a test tube with the energy of the child's cells are playing. A mother is never disconnected from her offspring. Wow. Well, maybe if she turned off the program or found a way to... Or if it's not listening.

1:02:48Lewis Howes:Yeah. It wasn't being... Not listening. Yeah, yeah. And I learned to listen myself. Because I started to realize that sometimes my mind would talk to me, you know? One of the most amazing, like the wake-up one, the one that was the wake-up cough. I was in the lab doing an experiment, and to set up the experiment, it's like an hour and a half or more to set it up. And then I have to stir the solution, and if it gets warm, it polymerizes into plastic and it doesn't work. The third time in the day, a whole day, make all that time to put the solution in, start to show it, turns into plastic. The third time, the whole day was shot.

1:03:37I was so angry. It was sort of like the devil and angel. The devil on my shoulders, you're stupid. You can't do anything. It was like giving me so much aggravation of myself. I'm giving myself not good enough, not deserving, blah, blah, blah. and I hear a voice. I'm alone. There's nobody in the room. It's like right here. And the voice said, don't you have anything better to do than to listen to this crap? And I was like in shock. I heard this voice say that. And so I said, yeah, I could go to a movie. And it was a newspaper. I picked up that newspaper, saw the movie, got my car, boom, went to the movie, came out of the movie, no more problem.

1:04:30I stopped the thinking. I stopped it by doing something totally different. And that was a wake-up call. That's a couple things. Number one, if it's bothering you, go do something that doesn't bother you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because if it bothers you, it's like going on and on and on. It will bring you down. Something negative. Your kids is this. Your parents is that. Your friends is this. Boom, boom, boom. And I say, do something different. Step outside. That's it. And I started to realize in the past when I've heard that voice, but never made a response to it like, oh, yeah, I should do this. And it didn't do it.

1:05:11It always cost me. I woke up. Want to hear that voice now? Whatever it says, man, I'm going to do it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1:05:21Lewis Howes:Quantum physics says that we're energetically connected, right? Yes. What does that mean practically for how someone should think about their relationships with anyone else in their life, especially their loved ones and also their enemies? Well, we go back to the Einstein quote. The field is the sole governing agency of matter, whether it's your neighbor, your son, whatever, matter, field. And I said, yeah, I can read your brain activity, wires on the head, electroencephalograph. But another device to read your mind is called magnetoencephalograph, and the probe is out here. You can read someone's mind?

1:06:08Yeah. Wow. Well, if you're in a relationship with somebody for a long period of time, you can download it yourself. You begin to know what that person is thinking before they even finish the sentence. Because you've been following the repetition of their program. You've heard the program, but now you start to recognize it. Patterns. Pattern, okay? So the point about it is this. Your thoughts are not contained in your head. Your thoughts are a field. Yeah, but the field is broadcast. I say, so what? The field is the sole governing agency of matter. If you have negative, negative things being broadcast, it's not going to activate anything positive.

1:06:52It's called resonance. It will activate something with the same energy. A positive thought will activate a positive response. A negative thought only resonates with a negative response. and we're getting down to something like, and people don't want to hear this in general because they don't understand. We are personally responsible for everything in our lives. People don't like to hear that. They don't want to hear that because they look into their life. I wouldn't have done that. I say, if you knew you were playing a program, you wouldn't play that program.

1:07:28Lewis Howes:How can someone say, if they hear you say, you're personally responsible for everything in your life? Yeah. as someone in their 20s or 30s or 40s and 50s says, well, I grew up in a place that I didn't want to grow up in. I was given parents that I didn't want to have. I had these circumstances and environments and challenges that I faced that other people didn't have to go through. I've got traumas that were not my fault because they were done to me. I didn't create these. So how can you say all of that when I feel like I was given the worst of life rather than the best that others have. Yeah, but you are the one that have the program.

1:08:06Now, this is why the old psychology, and that gives us to number three. We talked about self-hypnosis. Yeah, repetition. Repetition, habituation. And number three, there's a saying very familiar, necessity is the mother of invention. And guess what? As we're facing a collapse of civilization, there's a necessity to change our belief system fast. Well, there's a thing called energy psychology. It's a different version of psychology. It doesn't go back in your history. Oh, your friend did this and your mom did that and we got the bad programming from the family. I see it going backwards. I say, why is that not relevant?

1:08:54Because they're not here. You carried a program from the past. So dealing with people in the past just reactivates the program. The hell with the past. It's irrelevant. It's the present. As we said, where is your stress? Where is that program? Do I need to go back to the show? You have the program. That's why you're dealing with it. Energy psychology engages something called super learning. Super learning? Yeah. A child under seven is a super learner. I go, why? They can have one experience of something, and for the rest of their life, it would be a mark in their program. Okay, just one experience.

1:09:41I say, so where is super learning? Why? There's a mechanism. If you look at a human brain, there's a line right down the middle of the brain. They're called hemispheres, left and right. The two hemispheres have different functions. The left hemisphere, many different functions, but the left hemisphere, intellectual, words, come from this, okay? The right hemisphere, emotion, pictures, words, pictures, okay? Awareness, feelings, okay? When a child's seven and under, like your kids, those two are plugged in so that every experience your child has is recorded as a life intellectual experience and simultaneously as an emotional expression.

1:10:30Okay. After age seven, they're physically connected, but not functionally connected. There's a separation. Okay. What does that mean? I say it's called ultra-radian frequency. For two or three hours, you're in the intellectual side. And then two hours later, you're in the emotional side. It's a wave. Intellectual, emotional. Intellectual, emotional. The point is this. You're not in both of them anymore. You're a separate one. And it's problematic. I always like to joke. I say, a couple has a fight. and just for the fur of it, I say, at this moment, the man is in the intellectual side. The woman is in the emotional side.

1:11:22I say, so what? During that argument, the man's going, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And the woman's going, oh, oh, oh, oh. Wow, she has some words. She has emotions. She's feeling it. He's hitting her. Two or three hours later, he's going, oh, man, I messed up. Oh, my God. I feel, oh my God, oh my Jew. And she's got the words. And she comes in and cuts him out. The reality is this. You want to get to super learning, you have to integrate the two hemispheres. I can give you an insight. This is just an insight. It's not the whole process. My right hand is controlled by my left hemisphere.

1:12:09The left hand by right hemisphere. So I'm moving my right hand where? Out here, okay? And my left hemisphere is in charge. But if I move my hand into the other side of my body, now it's in the left hemisphere. Really? Yeah. I say, then what? Well, it gets picked up on the other side. So now both sides, the right is controlling. Okay, let me assume. The left is controlling the right hand. But when it crosses into this side, the other half of the brain picks it up. And so when you cross your limbs, let's say your ankles, when you cross your ankles, you are crossing the midline. It's calming. Guess what?

1:12:55Now that I said it, when you're hanging out with people, watch. Most of the people will have their ankles crossed. Why? When you bring the two hemispheres together, it's very calming. And that's why when you're relaxing, your ankles get crossed. I go, okay, well, I'm going to do this also then, you know? Yeah, so you cross your ankles and arms. You can put them out like that, cross them, go like that, and then go like this and put them on your chest. Yeah. And have your ankles crossed. Now, what I left out of my little stories is, Number one, do I put my right ankle over my left ankle or vice versa?

1:13:40Or do I put my right arm over my left arm or vice versa? It depends on what program you're trying to change based on the history of experiencing that program. Which hemisphere is more dominant, okay? Yeah. So you get into this posture after you've tested which one is which. And here's how simple it is. I'm simplifying, okay? Yes. First of all, you tested the belief. Now comes an issue because how do I test the subconscious? There's nobody in there. I can't ask, hey, subconscious, what do you think about this? Why? There's nobody going to make a response. Here is this very important point. The subconscious is massive compared to the conscious.

1:14:30The subconscious is a million times more powerful a computer than the conscious. The subconscious controls muscles because it's that powerful. The amount of just moving my fingers, that's a lot of computation neurologically, okay? Conscious mind can't do that. So the subconscious controls muscles, okay? Now here comes the point. Conscious mind is creative. subconsciousmind.program. If I make a statement with my conscious mind, my subconscious mind immediately checks to see if that's true. If I say, my name is Bruce, subconscious mind, yeah, both minds are in harmony. When both minds are in harmony, my muscle is solid like a rock.

1:15:21Muscle test. Push down. If both minds are in harmony, you won't be able to push it down. I want people to understand this because a lot of men do this and they think it's muscle arm wrestling. They're trying to lift it. No, the point is not to let it go down, not to lift it. That's arm wrestling. If I say something in my conscious mind and my subconscious agrees, that muscle is solid, okay? But if I make a statement, my name is Mary, and my subconscious goes, that's not true. Now the two minds are not in harmony. When the subconscious is not in harmony, the power of muscle control is lost. So I make a statement.

1:16:10If it's true, my arm's going to be solid. If I make a statement, I have two heads. That arm is going to fall. And so basically, the first thing you want to do is, what program am I checking? I love myself. I do a whole set. There's more to it than that, but the test, I finally get the test. I love myself. If my arm drops, it says your subconscious does not agree with that. Now I have to change it. So what are I going to do? I want to install a program. So how do I do that? Ah, cross my limbs. Why? Integrates right and left hemispheres just like I was a kid. Okay? and I sit there and I say to myself, I love myself, you're going to get a feeling the first time you say it.

1:16:58I say, why? Because your body, if it doesn't agree, it's going to be static-like. Or it may even talk back, oh, yeah, sure, right? You'll feel the body's not happy with I love myself. I say, what do you do then? I just say, repeat it again. To yourself, I love myself. Go for the feeling. then I love myself go for the feeling there'll be a point where the feeling will absolutely change it'll be completely different rather than statically in my particular occasion it's different for each person when I get to that point my subconscious going okay so what else Okay, I'm bored. You know, why? Because every time you say, I love myself in this posture, you're rewriting a program.

1:17:52I say, well, how long does that take? I say, how many experiences did you have that made that program? The more life experience that repeats that program, the longer it takes to get that program to reprogram. I say, well, how long can it take? I said, two minutes, three minutes. I say, you've had a belief your entire life, 50 years old. How long will it change? I love myself. I love myself. Three minutes. And guess what? You walk away. It's done. Do you have to do it again? No. How fast does it take? I love this. How fast I made this change in a belief. Let's start with this one. Very simple. I'm afraid of spiders.

1:18:37so I go I like spiders I like spiders I like spiders then we test because the first time I said I like spiders my beliefs nope don't believe that how do I know did it change put my arm back out go I like spiders if it changed you won't move the arm it's not the conscious mind. Conscious mind has no control over this. You can hold your, keep it strong, keep it strong. It's going to drop just as fast. Why? Conscious mind does not control muscle. If the muscle thing change, it means that the subconscious change. Okay? So I say, okay, I like spiders. I like spiders. I do that. Repeat. Finally gets to a point my subconscious goes, Oh, okay.

1:19:28And test, yeah, I like spiders. Strong. Bring a spider into me right at that moment when I have that belief. Instantaneously, you will not be afraid that I find it. Interesting. But if it's I love myself or I want a better job, I'm making the money I want, okay? Well, you can't catch that instantly. You have to go out and live. Yeah. So most of those things, if it's a phobia, you can put the stimulus right there. Wow. And how fast will it change? As soon as you felt that change and you tested, it's done. It's done.

What are these myths, and how do you think we can stop letting them run our lives? Okay. Four cultural myths. Two of them are Darwinian theory. Okay, I'll show you what. Darwinian theory is the belief that your heredity controls the character of your life. That's a myth. It's not true. Your mind controls it. But if you believe you're a victim, what is the nation?

1:22:19We've said that before. What's the function of the mind? Make coherence between the belief. If I feel I'm a victim of cancer because it's running in my family, I will manifest cancer. Why? The function of the mind was, oh, you believe in cancer? Here, you can have it. Just to dispel that gene story. They study what happens when infants are adopted into families where there's cancer running in the family. The adopted child will get the same family cancer. Really? Yes. And the adopted child, totally different genetics. What was the whole idea? Cancer was a program of dysfunction that manifests, not genetics.

1:23:08Okay. So the belief of victim is the biggest issue that we have at some level because it says I'm powerless. Most people say I'm powerless. I want to be successful. Everything's not working. The world looks like crap. It's all falling apart. Oh, it's not what I want. I go, well, that's because you believe the program. Okay? So I go, that's number one. That I'm a victim. That I'm a victim. Okay. it. Number two, Darwinian theory, biggest problem on the planet, survival of the fittest and the struggle for life. Survival of the fittest, struggle, well, first of all, struggle for life is a falsehood.

1:23:54It's not scientific. It was an idea from a philosopher in the 1700s who came up with an idea that everybody said, oh, that's true. Life is a struggle. He came up with the idea that plants don't reproduce as fast as animals. I said, so what's the point? Plants are reproducing at a slow rate. Animals are producing at a fast rate. Point? Too many animals, not enough food. Struggle for life. Thomas Malthus, philosopher, built into Darwinian theory. Completely wrong. Animals and plants reach a balance. And it doesn't get out of balance. So the whole idea of struggle is out. But then it was survival of the fittest.

1:24:42And this is important right now. I go, why? The word fit means capable of surviving. But no, no, it didn't say survival of the fit. It said survival of the fit test. What does that mean? Oh, well, let's look at the population of fit people. These are just fit. These are more fit. These are the fittest. These are the fittest. It came from Darwinian's Victorian upbringing and philosophy. The upper class, the fittest, okay? Which meant the upper class count, and nobody else counts. If you're a fit, you're lower class. You don't make any difference. You came from upper class. You're automatically the fittest by birth.

1:25:32You were born into the fittest, okay? Victorian days, no longer, but guess what? That survival of the fittest has led to today's biggest problem. One percent, it's actually far less than one percent of the population owns more than 99 % of the population. I go, imagine the resources as a pie, and one percent takes more than half of that pie out. I say, yeah, but what's the left of the pie? I say, less than half. I say, yeah, but how many people are looking for it? 99 % of the people are going to stress, competition, survival of the fittest. So those are the first two. What would be three and four?

1:26:21Number three, if I remember correctly, is the loss of understanding spirituality. You don't know who you are. You are, and I'm going to say this with full meaning, a piece of God. You've been programmed to believe that if you have a good life and you die, you can go to heaven. This body is a gift. It's an accessory to your spirit. It can do things. If you have a manifestation wish, It takes a body to manifest that wish. So we came here to have a body to create, make things, do things, okay? So we have a body for that. People don't recognize this is an accessory to spirit in that sense, okay? And spirit in a body also has something that a body offers that you don't know what's going on.

1:27:28I say sensation. What does love feel like? What does anger feel like? You know, what does jealousy feel like? It's a manifestation of the cells informing the brain. And the brain, remember, broadcasting. And the thoughts of that individual are broadcast back to the source, the broadcast. and your life experiences alter the source. It's called karma. Meaning, if you're out of harmony because your life was out of harmony, your broadcast is now out of harmony. The next time you come back into a TV, you come back in out of harmony. But the mission is what? get back to harmony. And so how many times does it take, you know?

1:28:29But the point is, how long does it take to change karma? I said, once you know the mechanism, the program can change. The program changes, karma's done. And we have that option, except you're not hearing about the program. You're not being told about it. It's known by a few, but it's not in their interest for you to know about it because then you won't be a customer. You won't buy that medication, okay? And you won't accept war. War. I love it. The last slide of my lecture, I show a cell with antennas. I say these are the cell receptors. And I say the source is the field, but you can call the field spirit because same definition.

1:29:23I say the source is coming to all of us. But then I show three cells side by side, a Muslim cell, a Jewish cell, a Christian cell. I say, what is that? I say, program. I say, what is it? Program of separation. Program fight. this one fights this one, that one fights this one, this one fights. I say, we all came from the same source. And that these programs are the divisive element, the awareness of the vision. It started with religion. Almost all the wars until recent times are religious. And to me, The surprising one is Ireland. I go, why? Catholics and Protestants have the same God with the same story of love and forgiveness, and they're killing each other.

1:30:24I go, two of the Jesus religions are killing each other? Maybe they lost the message somewhere, but religion separated them. and I say, I'm not a religious person, Louis. I am a spiritual person. What does that mean? I know I'm connected to a field. And then this is where the God part comes in. I personally create my life. I'm a personal creator of this life. You are creating your life. But if all of us share the same belief, the same program, then collectively we are manifesting what we experience on this planet. Now the last one, the fourth one, did you write it down? I didn't write it down.

1:31:20It was probably in this book.

1:31:22Lewis Howes:Yeah, this book is, we'll have that in there. Something in the book, Beyond Darwin, how epigenetics, quantum science, and cooperation shape humanity's future. Yeah. I want to make sure people get this because it's got so much good information in here. It's a scientific, it's a part one, part two. Part one is a scientific theory. I call it the antidote to Darwin. It's just the opposite of Darwin. It's based on cooperation, love, spirituality. and part two is ways of living in harmony to support the new theory, which has to deal with diet and consciousness and behavior and those other aspects to say, listen, we have to change the way we're living and this is information about that.

1:32:14So part one is the theory and part two is How can I live into this theory while the other one is coming down? Yes.

1:32:24Lewis Howes:I've got a couple of final questions for you, but this has been powerful, so I'm grateful, Bruce. Hey, Lewis. Yes. Thank you for this invitation. Yeah, thank you for being here. And I want to thank you because you have a wonderful audience. Yes. And they're the people that I would call cultural creatives. Why? They're looking outside the box. Yes. And you are the teacher offering them through your podcast an opportunity to see something outside that box. And so to me, one of the most important jobs in evolution is what you are doing right now. Knowledge is power, and you are empowering all these wonderful people.

1:33:10I appreciate it. Thank you.

1:33:11Lewis Howes:Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate it. I look at myself as like a facilitator. you know facilitating uh information right and facilitating knowledge yeah absolutely so knowledge is power it is i love this conversation around quantum physics and you you say that quantum physics proves that the material world is an illusion i believe right yeah so quantum physics proves the material world is an illusion what should someone do differently with their life with that information? If it's an illusion, that is a conscious experience. Okay, that's a conscious interpretation of what an illusion, magic, is an illusion.

1:33:52Okay? If you don't understand how the magician created the illusion, then for you it's always like, It's magic, okay? But underneath that, there was a process. And if you understand the process, well, it may take the magic out of the pigeon, but it also says, ah, there's a way to make it work. And what we have to do is recognize the illusion of a world that we perceive to be out of control when in fact we are the actual participants in manifesting an out-of-control world until we know the magic behind it. And then all of a sudden it says, well, I can create magic. I can change the illusion. And this is what we are really about to learn.

1:34:53Get out of this magic of self-destruction. It's magic. It's not real, but we're manifesting it. Right, right.

1:35:02Lewis Howes:What is the number one belief that most people carry with them that is silently killing or suppressing their immune system? And what is the biological mechanism behind that? Ah, good question. Thank you. Stress is what I've been talking about. And I say, well, what's stress? And I say this, you can divide behavior into true AB, growth and protection. You cannot do both at the same time. I say why. Growth, you go through the stimulus, your arms open, take it in. Food, love, awareness, give it to me. Imagination, creativity. You have to be open, okay? Protection is close yourself down. Wall yourself off.

1:36:01Protect me from that threat. And you don't go to a stimulus, you go away. So I say, growth, go to a stimulus, open. Protection, close yourself down, go away from a stimulus. Completely opposite. And you can't do both at the same time. So the point is, stress hormones give us the warning that we're under threat. That's what stress threat. Well, I have to protect myself. So the stress hormones get the body prepared for protection. I say, how? So we go back 100 ,000 years, and I say, so what was your stress? That saber-tooth tiger chasing me. You say, well, how are you going to protect yourself? Well, the stress hormones are going to kick in.

1:36:53I say, what are they going to do? And here's the three things where stress destroys us. Number one, I want to run like hell from that tiger. So I want my blood in my arms and legs. I say, what? The blood carries energy. You want to run? You better have the energy in your blood. because that's where it's coming from. So I say, and this is like out of a textbook, when stress hormones are released into the body, the blood is preferentially sent to the arms and legs. Where was it before? The gut. I said, what's the function of the gut? Maintenance of the body. Repair the body. Energize the body. It's all taking care of the machine.

1:37:43But at the moment the tiger is coming, The legs. I need the legs and run. So stress hormones call the blood vessels and you have to squeeze shut. You can feel it. It's called queasy. I feel, oh, I'm feeling scared. I feel queasy there. Or butterflies in the stomach. I say, what's that? The fluttering of the blood vessels as they're shutting down. You can feel it, okay? So first thing is this. You show off growth and maintenance for the body. Number one. Number two, the immune system uses a tremendous amount of energy. And I say, well, look, if you've ever been sick, you may not even have the energy to get out of the bed.

1:38:28So the immune system uses a lot of energy. Now, let's scenario. I'm being chased by a saber-tooth tiger. I have a bacterial infection. Well, my immune system is going to take care of the bacterial infection, but my arms and legs are going to get me away. So I say, what do you think the stress hormones do? They shut off the immune system. Why? The hell with the bacteria if the tiger passes you, it's not right. Yeah, yeah. Okay? This is why, like, kids at school, when they get stressed at a jam time, that's when they get sick. When they get stressed at what time? Exams. Like, oh, my God, exams are coming.

1:39:11Oh, my God, oh, my God, you're sick. They get sick. When your job is too stressful, you get sick. Why? Stress hormones are getting ready for you to run. That was the point. I need your blood. That's a fix. I was saying I got run. So one, we shut down growth and maintenance of the body. Two, we shut off the immune system. Why? The threat is external. Immune system internal. I don't need it. And the last one, I call that the insult to the injury. I say, what is it? The conscious mind is a very creative mind, very beautiful. Subconscious mind habit. Creativity is a slower neurological process. Reaction, reactivity instantly, okay?

1:40:05Okay, so let's say you're driving the car and it starts getting out of control. Here's my vision of a person who stays in the conscious mind while it's out of control. Oh! I go, what happens? Stress hormones come in. What do they do? Squeeze blood vessels. Where? Forebrain. Why? Because the blood is now pushed to the hindbrain. And the hindbrain controls all the behavior instantly. So when it starts skiing, all of a sudden you're steering, you're hitting the brakes, and you're controlling the car as fast as anything. Wow. Point, when you're in that stress, thinking is too slow. We become less intelligent.

1:40:55And that is today's world. The intelligence of the individual is lost because they're under stress and they're ready to run. And I say, and the bottom line is this. When we thought the Russians were going to bomb us back in the Cold War, we'd build a bomb shelter. Here's the point. Conclusion is important. In those days, I remember they would have air raid tests. Sirens would go off. And then in school, we'd all go down and get in under the desk and blah, blah, blah. And then 10 minutes later, sirens say, all clear. And we get up and go back to work. So the community is growing. The sirens go off.

1:41:39They go in the bomb shelter. 10 minutes, they come back out. Community's growing again. Problem. What if you get a siren and you go in, but there is no all clear? Problem. How long can you live in the bomb shelter? You only have a certain amount of food, a certain amount of water, and if you use all that up and you're still in the bomb shelter, you're going to die. The stresses we have today are not the same as that tiger. If you're running from the tiger, you can get away in 10 minutes. You can get away, and then stress is gone. So an interference with your maintenance of the body, your immune system, your intelligence for 10 minutes, fine.

1:42:31After the tiger's gone, you're back to growing again. But today, and this is the conclusion of it, stress is 24, you know, 7, 3, 6, 5 every day. A human body was never designed to be in the bomb shelter that long. And the result is the illness starting off the maintenance. There's a problem. Starting off the immune system. there's a problem. Yes. And shutting off the intelligence is why that person will tell me what to do. You gave up your power to that person? Do you trust them? This is where we are.

1:43:15Lewis Howes:Yeah. Okay. Well, Beyond Darwin, How Epigenetics, Quantum Science, and Cooperation Shape Humanity's Future. I want to make sure I want to get this book by Bruce Lipton. A lot of great science and research in here. You guys can check out. I try to make it, of course, very readable. Yes. Yes. I like that you have a lot of pictures also for me. You know, I'm a... Pictures, thousand words. It shows you a lot. So for me, it's very, very helpful. And I love the explanation of the field and how to understand all these things. So sometimes these things can feel like big concepts or hard to understand.

1:43:53Lewis Howes:So when you break them down in simple ways and show images in there and kind of backing the science, it's really helpful. So I want to make sure I want to get this book. I so appreciate that because I wish these people will take their power back. Yes. They don't even know they don't have the power. Yes. They know it's not working. Right. But they've confused it. And when you tell them you're a very powerful creator, they go, what are you talking about? Exactly. I wouldn't have created this mess. I go, you did. Your program created this mess. It's time to create a new program. Yes. Um, I want to ask you two final questions.

1:44:31Lewis Howes:I asked you this the first time we did an interview, which I think was like five years ago, but it was virtual. So I'm going to ask you here in person. Um, this is called the three truths. So hypothetical scenario, you get to live as long as you want and you get to continue to create and impact as many people as you want. But at the last day, you've got to take all of your books and content and work with you. So hypothetically, we don't have any more of your content after you pass on your last day. Who doesn't have it? Me or them? We don't have it. The rest of the world. The book is there. It's a hypothetical scenario.

1:45:06Lewis Howes:All the books disappear. Yes, everything's gone. Let's just hypothetically. And so we don't have access to your content. Hypothetical. But on your last day, you get to leave behind three truths to the world. Only three things that you know to be true from all your life experience and knowledge. Yeah. What would those three truths be for you? Number one, you are a powerful creator. This is not an accident. Okay? Number two, you're immortal. You're a spirit that doesn't die. And you get a chance to come back and play again. And number three is take the time and watch the sunset. Take the time to smell the roses.

1:45:57Take the time and experience the beautiful garden, because if you're looking for heaven, it's here.

1:46:07Lewis Howes:That's beautiful. Bruce, I only acknowledge you for being a constant guide of inspiration, of knowledge, of wisdom to so many people to unlearning programs that don't support them and learning new programs to live a more empowered life.
