Dr Joe Dispenza: 4 Hacks to REWIRE YOUR MIND & Attract Your Dreams!

0:00I think my belief in what's possible has changed dramatically in the last two years. I'm not the same person because of the things that I've witnessed. I mean, this is an evolution. You never know what you think differently until you have a new experience. A new experience causes you to think of possibilities you had never thought of before. And there is an infinity. There's infinities. We start thinking of other ways. And that's consciousness and it's never in the process of self-discovery. To answer the question, who am I? Welcome to the School of Greatness. My name is Lewis Howes, a former pro athlete turned lifestyle entrepreneur.

0:33And each week, we bring you an inspiring person or message to help you discover how to unlock your inner greatness. Thanks for spending some time with me today. Now let the class begin.

0:50Welcome to this special masterclass. We brought some of the top experts in the world to help you unlock the power of your life through this specific theme today. It's going to be powerful. So let's go ahead and dive in.

1:08Is it possible to heal ourselves with our thoughts and with meditation alone? I think my belief in what's possible has changed dramatically in the last two years. I'm not the same person because of the things that I've witnessed. I mean, I saw a person with muscular dystrophy that was in a wheelchair for 12 years uh young guy now if you study muscular dystrophy um there's no there's no there's no cure it's no coming back there's no coming back okay um there's a lot that has to happen for us to make this journey right you get diagnosed with a health condition and it's a terminal health condition or chronic health condition and you're compromised in some way and you're reliant on something to get you back in the health and balance and that's what the conventional model isn't but if it isn't working you guys started looking some people just they just they shrink in into mediocrity and they stay there other people are bothered by it and they're going to look for answers okay so the person starts looking for answers we had some lady that someone amazon accidentally mailed accidentally mailed my book you are the placebo to her house and she didn't order it and she just put it on the on her coffee table and um she had parkinson's disease and finally after like three months she picked up the book and she saw the brain scans on parkinson's she started doing the meditations she came to the week-long retreat she completely healed of parkinson's she was on the stage selling the story this is crazy right so so now the person heals herself okay as an example now a person who heals themselves i've seen green berets i've seen navy seals uh with a lot of physical and emotional health conditions really heal the only thing they want to do is they want to give they want to they want they want to bring it to their people they want to bring it to their tribe they want to bring it to the people they love and and then the really in the intention is i want to heal somebody else right and so you you're healed the next thing is you want to heal somebody else by the word so now but your model has to change if i heal myself and i've actually changed my energy can i kind of heal another person and that's exactly what we do it we say okay now that you can change your health can you change another's health let's build a model of understanding and let's do that and we did the model of understanding all of a sudden i see people stepping out of wheelchairs left and right and people blind people seeing crazy things going on a lot of remissions of diseases i'm more surprised about that than anybody covid happens and then we're like hmm can we actually if we're in the quantum field and there's no separation there can we just hit a target just give us a picture a coordinate and we have remote co-earing healers fascinating and these these these people do it listen they do it every day they're machines they do it they never miss a day they would never miss a day and the reason they'd never miss a day is because they get so much out of it and they're not doing it by trying to heal another they're not trying to heal another they're actually feeling another that is not even that didn't even know they don't even know and they're not even in the same room they're spread across the world and And they're hitting a target.

4:11They're hitting a target. They see an image and they visualize that target. They go to the field and they hold that person in their heart and they change their energy. So then the model builds more now. Now, can you heal at a remote location? The answer is absolutely yes. In fact, our studies with UC San Diego is insane. I said to the scientists, when in your life did you think you would be sitting talking about the effects of remote coherence healings that are working as well as drugs when better than drugs actually when have you ever thought you'd be talking about this so our data suggests that it's real right we did a triple blind placebo study and there's absolutely no doubt that these people are causing some profound effects we just published another paper paper about the mathematical synchronization of the heart of groups of people that collectively get together how they synchronize you know there's we published a paper it's mathematical it's real right it's a lot of science but there's some effect that's happening in the people's hearts that are feeling the same amount of love.

5:11They're training to a similar resonance, a similar frequency. Okay, so now they did an amazing, amazing study, preliminary study on autistic children. Okay, now I'm telling you this because I want you to know that this isn't conjecture, this is reality. Boys, young boys between the ages, I think of six and 12, and these are problematic kids. They've done the physical therapy the occupational therapy the speech therapy the inhibition therapy the talk therapy they've tried the nutrients the vitamins they tried everything and then they're not responding they haven't changed much they're they're headbangers um they're incontinent they don't sleep uh they're obsessive uh they have outbursts they have no sociability they have no gross and fine motor skills their language is compromised now we decided instead of doing um uh scientific analysis, we decided to have the best scientists take a look at their kids, and that's the parents.

6:09Right? So they did. We did. Parents know every single thing about that kid because they have all their attention. They know every habit, they know every behavior, they know every obsession. Six weeks, two times a week. These kids, at the end of six weeks, speaking in complete sentences, sleeping through the night, taking naps, walking themselves to school, using the toilet, no longer defecating or urinating in their bed. hugging their parents when they come home, asking for what they want, jumping on the trampoline, being in a school place. And it's insane. The parents are overjoyed. Their lives have changed dramatically because their kid is somehow changed.

6:53They're smiling, they're more engaging, right? They're not even in the room and they're producing these effects. So back to your question. This is an evolution. if you're you you never know what you'll think in differently until you have a new experience right experience causes you to think of possibilities you would never thought of before and there is an infinity there's infinities because you and i are making known unknown possibilities by having a new experience and we start thinking of other ways and that's consciousness and it's never in the process of self-discovery to answer the question who am i right?

7:29So then what we discovered is that in our data collection, that people that are the most desperate tend to be the less likely to respond because they're waiting for their healing to feel gratitude. They haven't realized that when they feel gratitude, their healing begins, right? So that's not a problem. We just have to work with them to get them out of that state. And that's what I do when everybody's getting ready. I work with the Heelys. We noticed that people who actually are in the river of change, they are actually working on changing something about themselves. They receive that energy better.

8:13We noticed that when people are grateful, super grateful to be there, that energy just hits them. It hits them really big. you'll do anything to get what you want because that's what matter does when it's trying to change matter and everybody's everybody's playing that game right everybody's trying to accumulate the most amount of things right okay so that's what abundance means to certain people get as many things as you can okay you want that not a problem but let's learn the formula of how to create right so then so then you'd have to feel those emotions before the experience occurred and And if you understood that you could dissociate all of your attention from this three-dimensional reality and have no attention on anything known and understand it's the field that creates matter, not matter that emits the field, and if you could get to that place and change your energy with a clear intention and elevated emotion, your heart starts beating in this beautiful rhythm like a drum.

9:14We've measured it so many times. And when that occurs, the next thing that happens, the heart informs the brain it's safe to create now. So the person relaxes into the present moment. And then we see this, like if you took a big sheet, you know, a blanket and you went like that, the energy of the heart actually informs the brain to move into these beautiful, elegant states of alpha brainwave patterns, coherent alpha. And that's saying, what's the next dream? what is it the next what's the next opportunity you want to experience that's a state of creation so now you have a wi-fi signal you got a coherent brain that's a directive that's a signal out and you got this coherent heart that's what draws it to us right you combine those two and if there's a vibrational match between your energy and that potential in the quantum field and you're feeling abundant and whatever your brain associates with being abundant that's your call that's what the creative process is.

10:13This is the creative center. The brain, frontal lobe actually says, what would it be like to be creative or abundant? I don't know what it'd be like to be abundant. Well, then go read a few books on people who actually became abundant and realized it wasn't a glorious process. They failed miserably. They got betrayed. They learned a lot of lessons, but they persevered. And what are the qualities of that person that you could embody? That's the key, right? Because it's not about wealth. It's who you become, right? Because people think it's about their wealth, but it's the becoming process. It's the overcoming.

10:49That attracted that, right? Of course. So then you got to turn the battleship around because most people say, I can't feel grateful for my wealth because it hasn't happened yet. That's the hypnosis. Waiting for the experience to happen to feel grateful. Well, that's Newtonian. That's three-dimensional reality. That's cause and effect. In quantum, you've got to feel it in order for you to experience it. Okay, so this heart becomes like an amplifier, and it sends that signal out, and that frequency can carry the thought of your abundance. Suffering cannot carry the thought of your abundance. Lack cannot carry the thought of your abundance.

11:25It's a different frequency, right? We feel different feelings like suffering. We think different thoughts, right? So people can say, I'm abundant, I'm abundant, I'm abundant, I'm abundant, all they want, But that thought is never making it to the body because it's stopping at the brainstem because the body's saying, I'm miserable. I'm unhappy. I'm in lack. Right? So the affirmation doesn't work. Right? Okay. So let's go one step further. Yes. So if you practice this and you actually understood, you know, well, we teach this pretty well. But if you learned it just like learning how to play handball or learning how to hit a golf ball, learning how to dance a salsa, you just practice the formula.

11:59and you got really good at it, if you were doing it properly then, what would be the outcome? The experiment of being abundant would be that you would have to feel that feeling. It's so good at doing it with your eyes closed. You got to do it with your eyes open. Now, why? Because if you're feeling the feelings of your emotions, of your future, you're no longer looking for them. Because you're in the future now. Your body is so objective that it's believing it's living in that reality where you are abundant. And as long as you feel that emotion, you're not separate from it any longer. You're no longer in lack.

12:38You're no longer looking for it to occur. Say, why hasn't it happened yet? If you're feeling abundant, why would you look? Right? Right. So then our job then is to be able to maintain that modified state of mind and body. So, okay. So does that mean like you should check your bank account tomorrow and see if there's a half a million dollars in it? No. you keep tuning into that potential and then here come the synchronicities yes what's that that's feedback in your environment the universe saying hey lewis whatever you're doing all of a sudden you're starting to create right and i think it's so important for people to remember that they're the creators of their lives instead of the victim of their lives right so the victim is saying i'm feeling this way because that person or that circumstance or I don't have any money is causing me to feel this way.

13:28That's my relationship with money. What that really means is I'm using my lack to reaffirm my dependency, my addiction, my conditioning. That's my relationship with money is that I put my attention on money because I don't have it. So the relationship with money is of course built on lack. And so when they don't have it, they feel bad. And what they're really saying is my outer environment, my reality is actually controlling the way I feel and the way I think. So Lewis, why are you in a good mood today? Things are going good. Why in a bad mood? Things are going bad today. So this unconscious program of victimization is saying that we're allowing our environment to influence the way we feel and the way we think.

14:09Isn't that what victimization is? And the stronger the emotion we have to our lack, the more we put our attention on the fact that we don't have it, right? So then the person has forgotten that they're creating reality because what they're creating is lack. And they're creating more of it. And then they try harder and they force harder and they control more. And they're more exhausted and their body's tired. And they're breaking down. Right. So the experiment then is, let's try it another way. Let's create from the field instead of from matter. Get a coherent heart, get a coherent brain. Relax in the heart and energy moves right into the brain.

14:42We've measured this a thousand times. And all of a sudden the person moves into these beautiful, elegant brainwave states where they're super creative, right? So the longer you're conscious of that energy, the more you draw that future to you. So then what does the synchronicity mean? It means whatever you're doing inside of you is producing that effect outside of you. Pay attention to what you did and do it again. So generate a little bit more abundance. Just do it for an experiment. Now, when the synchronicity happens, do you think you feel suffering or do you think you feel a little excitement?

15:11You feel inspired, right? So then that synchronicity is saying, use this energy, use this feeling. It should be easier for you to feel this now and go back and do it again. Keep the experiment going. Then here comes the promotion. Here comes the email. Here comes the person you meet at the right time. Well, we have something happening here. And then that becomes the momentum, right? So then we generate abundance. That's how we do it. And the relationship - It doesn't just happen by accident. We generate it. We generate abundance, right? So then if you have an hour meditation where you're tuning into your abundant future, but then you're spending the other 15 hours a day in lack, don't expect anything to change.

15:55You defaulted. You're back to the old energy. And if you say it's that person or that circumstance or that bank account, I'm going to say you're back to the unconscious program of being a victim, right? So then let's go a step further. if your personality creates your personal reality, and it does, and your personality is made up of how you think, how you act, and how you feel, then the present personality who's listening to this podcast has created the present personal reality called their life. Nothing big there, which means if you want to change your personal reality, you're going to have to change your personality.

16:31Right. Nothing changes in your life until you change, right? So then 95 % of who we are is is on autopilot, right? It's programmed thoughts, hardwired thoughts, beliefs, perceptions, unconscious habits and behaviors, and really, really emotional responses that tend to be really knee-jerk and automatic, right? So if 95 % of who we are is a set of unconscious programs, then the first step to change is becoming conscious of those unconscious thoughts. Now, people think when they sit down to do the work and make their change that they're doing something wrong. No, those thoughts have to come up. I can, I'm not worthy, it's never going to work.

17:13But a person who's truly persevering towards their abundance realizes just because they have that thought doesn't mean it's true. They're curious on what's on the other side of that thought. Ah, well, that's just the thought, right? And nerve cells that no longer fire together, no longer wire together. So you keep moving past that thought, it has less and less power over you, right now you're you have power over it or better better yet you're using your brain in the proper way instead of your being a victim to your brain right if you complain about money if you judge people who have it if you rush when you're in lack if you cheat when you don't have what you need an abundant person doesn't do that you got to look at that and say i got to break these habits oh my god if i truly want to be abundant i can't act this way now here's the big one if if i truly want to be a new personality that's in a new personal reality i can't take lack with me i can't take unworthiness i can't take the story that goes along with it with my parents or my grandparents or my ex or whatever that story has to end right i mean if not now to win, right?

18:28How do people end those stories? Well, of course. Well, how many times do we have to forget until we stop forgetting and start remembering? That's the game, right? That's the game called change. How many times do we have to go unconscious and default to that old personality when we catch ourselves and stop doing that and get conscious? That's the moment of change. So the problem is, is that most people wake up in the morning and they think, let me think of my problems, right? The brain is a record of the past, right? So they think about their problems they don't have enough money and those those problems are usually connected to certain people at certain places with certain objects and certain things what didn't work out or who screwed me over so the moment they wake up the moment they remember those problems they're thinking in the past so now they're firing and wiring the memory they're keeping the memory of past alive in their mind the problem is every one of those memories has an emotion associated with because we've experienced it.

19:22So when they feel the lack, when they feel the unhappiness, when they feel the anxiety, now the body's in the past. Thoughts being the language of the brain, feelings being the language of the body, how we think and how we feel creates our state of being. But the conditioning process starts because conditioning only needs a thought and a feeling, a memory or an image and an emotion and a stimulus and a response and you're conditioning your body to become the mind of that emotion. And now the memory is not in the brain. Now the memory is buried subconsciously in the body. And the body becomes the mind of that emotion.

19:57So the body is living in lack. And it's believing. The body is. Is that through the nervous system or is that through the cells? Neurochemical. The cells, everything. So the body is so objective that it does not know the difference between the real life experience that's creating the lack and the emotion that you're creating by thought alone called lack. The body's believing it's living the same past experience every day. Why? Because the end product of an experience is an emotion. Well, if your life is changing, but you're still feeling lack, don't expect anything. You won't even see it. You'll walk right past it.

20:34You're viewing your life through the lens of the past. Okay. So then the person realizes that all their friends are making money and they're doing stuff. And they're like, wow, I'm really feeling lack now. So then when it no longer becomes about your abundance and it becomes about your change, that's a valuable moment. When it's no longer about your healing, but it's about your change. I paid attention to a lot of people in the last couple of years to tell their story. the people who heal in this work from cancers and all kinds of chronic health conditions and Parkinson's and strokes and paralysis and all kinds of things, rare genetic disorders.

21:17It never was about, when they really got in the game, it was never about their healing. It was about what do I need to change in order to heal? When the game goes like that, so then the person who's feeling lack, on some level or another, it's not just in the mind, it's in the body, right? Let me hear you say that again. When someone's looking for abundance, it's never about the abundance, it's about the change they need to make for healing. No, I'm using healing as an example, but let's use abundance as an example. When you understand that you cannot get abundant, when it's no longer about the game called abundance, it's about the game called change.

21:59What do I need to change? The more I change, the more I'll be abundant. Yes. So then it's no longer, how come it hasn't happened? That's the old personality, separate from the experience still in lack asking that question. Which is creating your current reality. Which is reaffirming it because that's the lens you're perceiving it through. Okay. So we should be focusing more on what we need to change every moment as opposed to the abundance or the healing. Well, the word meditation means to become familiar with. Sit with yourself long enough and not turn on your cell phone, not scroll through your social media, and do no TikTok, no emails, none of that stuff.

22:33Just sit and close your eyes and watch the thoughts that come up. That's the exact reason why you're not abundant. Watch what you want to do when you're feeling lack to take away the lack, and there's always something you would do to take it away. But sit with the lack and be curious on what's on the other side of it, right? Because the body's programmed into lack. now subconsciously, right? So the emotion of lack drives our thoughts and drives our behaviors. So it makes sense then that if an emotion is a record of the past, then we're doing things habitually from the past. We're thinking in the past, right?

23:12So lower the volume to the emotion every time you notice lack comes up. And just like breaking any addiction, there's going to be cravings right so the body's going hey lewis it's been about two hours you're so used to doing this yeah you've been thinking lacking thoughts about 150 000 times a day and you're just going to stop now the body's going to the body's going to start influencing the mind saying it's not going to work you're a loser it didn't work before it's too hard everybody else that's why it's so hard for people to like lose weight or get in shape because you might try it for a few days and then the cravings or i'm tired and i want to go default back into the old right because why because the body which has been conditioned the mind the body is the unconscious mind so the body's got used to the familiar feeling even they don't even know it's lack it's just how they feel it's like guilt so okay so let me finish okay so the hardest part about all of this is making a different choice and the moment you decide to make a different choice get ready it's going to feel uncomfortable right it's going to feel unfamiliar your your body's all of a sudden saying hey lewis uh why don't you start thinking those same exact thoughts do the same things make the same choices that demonstrate the same behaviors, have the same experiences.

24:21So you could feel that feeling of lack, complain again to somebody, call somebody up and say how miserable your life is, right? And that's the known, right? So the body is always influencing the mind to return back to the familiar territory. Through a default. Through a default, okay. All right, so now the person says, okay, what thoughts do I not want? What would an abundant person think this way? The people in our work that have created, I had a guy come to our event. I love this guy. He healed himself. He tried to take his life three times. He told me that when he came to our work, he didn't have two dollars to rub together.

25:00He's worth hundreds of millions of dollars now. And just keeps giving it away. Wow. His lesson, his lesson was, and that wasn't the wealth. It was who he became. So it's the overcoming process that is the becoming process. Who did he become in that journey? Exactly. He had to get beyond all of those thoughts of his past, all the mistakes he made, all the things he did wrong, all the money he owed, all of that. That was like he just had to no longer be that person any longer. But he did say, how would a wealthy person live? And when he created his wealth, what do you think the first thing he did?

25:44Started giving? Giving it away. Why? Because an abundant person doesn't have any lack. And he knows how to create more of it. And he's in the experiment. Well, what would happen if I keep giving it away? He keeps getting more. That's a good experiment to have. Because he is actually living in that abundant state. He also had tremendous healings taking place. Because when you heal your heart, you heal your mind. I mean, it's just the way it is. We saw it so many times, right? So he healed his heart. He got an upgrade. He got an upgrade, right? So then the next fundamental question is, how would an abundant person think?

26:17Write it down, dude, and fire and wire those thoughts in your brain and install the hardware. Keep doing it with attention and intention. It becomes the new voice in your head. It becomes a software program. Then say, okay, how am I going to be in my life today? What would an abundant person, how would they behave? and before you reach for your cell phone and start scrolling through your social media, close your eyes and rehearse in your mind how that person would walk, how they would breathe, how they would smile, how they would greet people, how they would be on Zoom calls, how would they be in traffic, how would they be at dinner?

26:54And the act of closing your eyes and mentally rehearsing the act, if you're truly present, the brain does not know the difference between the real life experience and what you're imagining. In fact, just a little bit of time, you start to install the neurological hardware to look like you already did it. Now the brain is no longer a record of the past. It's primed for the future. Keep doing it, keep rehearsing. No different than playing an instrument, no different than learning how to dance, no different than learning how to act or play a sport. Everybody's always rehearsing, right? The rehearsal process changes the brain to look like you've already done it, You've already experienced it.

27:35Now, what's the essential part of that? The hardware is in place. Now, all you got to do is step into the footprint. Keep doing it. It becomes a software program. You start acting like an abundant person. Everything changes. Your energy changes. Your mood changes. The way you walk, the way you breathe. Your posture changes. You're out of the known, right? You got to condition the body now emotionally into the future. Can't open your eyes in the morning until you are feeling worthy to receive. And if you can't feel worthy to receive, then if not, now when? If it takes you two hours to get there, ask me if it's worth 30 years of running, trying to get what you need matter to matter.

28:17Okay, so then the person who wrestles with their lack, they're out of the bleachers, and they're on the playing field. Here's what we learned. Here's what we learned. Let's go back to beliefs now. So remember, belief is just a thought you keep thinking over and over again. A belief is something that you keep thinking enough times that you hardwired in your brain, and it becomes an automatic program. And we have beliefs about all kinds of things, money, relationships, God, whatever it is. It's all based on what we've been told or our past experiences, right? The boundaries of those beliefs are our emotions, right?

28:49So let's just say you got betrayed or somebody abused you or your father told you that money was bad and there's never enough of it or whatever. That's a story, okay? But somehow it left an impression on you. Remember that event very clearly. And that's kind of rooted in who you are. Okay, so that emotion then is the boundary of our belief. So how you think and how you feel creates your state of being. If you take a thought and a feeling, a thought and a feeling, a thought and a feeling, a thought and a feeling, that's called an attitude. You have a series of good thoughts with a series of good feelings.

29:23You say, I have a good attitude today. You have a series of negative thoughts that are connected to a series of negative feelings. You say, I'm a bad attitude today. So attitudes are just shortened states of being. Good attitude in the morning, bad attitude in the afternoon. If you take an attitude, an attitude, an attitude, and you keep those up, and you string attitudes together, you create what's called a belief. And a belief is just an extended state of being. So if you keep thinking the same thought, you keep hardwiring it in the brain, you keep feeling the same feeling, you keep conditioning in your body, The redundancy of that cycle over and over again conditions the body to subconsciously become the mind of that belief.
