Dr Joe Dispenza: How To Become The Creator Of Your Life & Attract Anything (The Scientific Secret To Manifestation)

29:01The days that you show up anyway and you remember that's the belief in your future and that's your passion, you will earn that future. And that is the overcoming process that allows you to become anything abundant or healthy or whatever it is that people want. What will ensure that we don't earn our future dreams? I think people get in the habit of no longer believing in themselves. I think it's a habit because they listen to those voices. They sit and they can't settle their emotions down. they get up from their inner work believing less in their future instead of more in their future and the people who actually sit and say I'm not getting up until I remember my future and I'm going to become that very person today the person who does that they get up that way they believe in their future more so they have to overcome some aspect of themselves in order to do that and it doesn't take much it doesn't take much But to the materialist who's waiting for their life to change to feel joy, you're missing out on a lot of life.

30:17Why wouldn't you want to teach your body emotionally what joy feels like so that you can feel that way? Nobody's going to make you feel that way. Oh, you should make you happy. Imagine that. And I swear to you, people in your life will wonder what medication you're on. Just because you're not showing up is the memory they have of you. You're out of phase. That's such a... Say that one more time. You're not showing up as the memory they have of you. Nothing's different. Like, what? Are you getting happy without me? What?

31:04So, we don't see reality how it is. We see reality how we are. that's really the truth. So you have to think about what thoughts you do want to fire and wire in your brain, and a belief is just a thought you keep thinking over and over again. And you keep with intention and with attention, keep installing the circuitry to remember to think that way. I swear your biology will be mapped as a thought. That would be the new voice in your head that said you can. But don't our thoughts just kind of come to us? We don't have control over them. We can't change them. Don't they just, I've been hearing the same negative story over and over.

31:48I can't change that, can I? Yeah, when does that story end? Like when, if not now, when? Like 50 % of that story, according to the research on memory, 50 % of it isn't even the truth. A person is reliving a miserable life they never even had. Wow. all to reaffirm we've imagined it we've created an imagination all to reaffirm their addiction to that emotion connected to the belief that they can't change they actually that's what they're committed to so it takes an enormous amount of energy an enormous amount of awareness to change and it is an ongoing process. You said something that sounded crazy.

32:45You said something. One thing? Yeah, one thing. You said something that sounded, I don't know if people caught it. You said, remember the future. You said, start remembering the future. But can't you only remember the past? How do you remember something that hasn't happened? So the stronger the emotion that we feel to some problems, some condition in our life, or some experience, the more altered we feel inside of us, the more change we have inside of us, the more it captures the brain's attention. And the brain freezes a frame or a series of frames, and that's called the memory. and the stronger the emotion the more we remember where we were on 9-11.

33:36You remember all those things in your life that had a high emotional quotient. So the trauma then, the betrayal, the incident of problem, whatever it is, has a strong emotion that causes us to keep remembering it. The person who's reviewing the trauma in their mind is producing the same chemistry for their body. As they relive the memory, they're feeling the feeling of that event. And it's that thought and that feeling, it's that image, that's emotions, that's stimulus, that's response, that's conditioning the body to become the mind of that emotion. Now the body's literally in the past. The trauma's no longer in the brain.

34:18The trauma's now in the body. It's like real now. Now it's changed their state of being. And there's great research, just as an example, to say that trauma changes the brain and body without a doubt. So then, theoretically then, could you come out of your resting state and raise your energy emotionally to a point that it's greater than the betrayal or the trauma? If you could do that really well and keep practicing falling in love with your future, the stronger the emotion you feel, the more you remember your future. And to the brain, it's exactly the same. The brain is literally being branded by that image.

35:01And the brain does not know the difference in that moment between the real life experience and the experience that you're having in your mind. Now, before you go on, this is a very open-minded audience, right? Most people have heard you say this before. Most people believe in this stuff. There's probably a few people that maybe have never heard this or maybe it's their first time here. and they're thinking, this just seems a little too woo-woo. Am I going too woo-woo on you guys? You know, this just seems a little, this just seems a little, I don't know, like how do we, I mean, is there really research and science on this?

35:35Are you just making this up? Like how do we know that you can remember the future feeling of an event that hasn't even happened and bring it to the future? What would be the emotion you would feel if your future happened? What would be that emotion? Of your greatest dream. Of your greatest dream. Yeah, it would be an enormous amount of gratitude to be alive. Yes. Would it not? Would it be like you would be so... I was going to say a cuss word. So grateful. You'd be so incredibly grateful for your life. Yes. And pro-social networks turn on, and we bond and move together, and the moment is more rich.

36:16so then the emotional signature of gratitude is that something wonderful just happened to you yes or something wonderful is happening to you in the moment so gratitude in its sense emotionally is the ultimate state of receiving gratitude you're the emotional signature is receiving so so all you got to do is get that heart of yours open and fall in love with your future and how would you feel if it happened? You would feel in love with life. You would feel empowered. You would feel unlimited. You would feel more whole. Practice feeling those emotions. And that's it. And we discovered that when people do this really well, in seven days, their biology completely changes.

37:00Everything changes. Their brain works better. Their heart works better. For days after the event, the default mode in the brain that causes us to switch back to the old personality shuts off. That's what our data shows. Your microbiome changes in seven days without changing your diet or your gluten or your vegan or your probiotic. It changed without all of that. It changed without all of that in seven days. A person's making chemicals that suppress cancer growth. They're making chemicals that cause viruses, dangerous ones. Impossible to enter the cell. That's what our data shows. Makes endogenous opioids, pain-relieving chemicals, 100 % of the population.

37:56Makes chemicals that cause neurogenesis in neurons in the brain, causes breast milk to be bettered and heals wounds and scars. The biology of the person is changing. The biology of the person looks like they're living in a whole new life. And that's when they return back into their life in the same environment, in the same circumstances, thinking differently, acting differently, feeling differently, independent of their outer world. And the experiment is my life should change. Why else would I do it? Why else would I do it? Why is it so hard for us to say, my life's like 70 % pretty good, but it's not like exactly what I want.

38:46Why is it so hard to make a change then rather than when there's a trauma, a breakdown, a breakup, a near life or death incident? Why is it so hard to change when things are pretty good? Things are, I'm doing pretty good. I've got a good job. I've got a good, yeah, marriage is pretty good. Yeah. My health is, I'm like 40 pounds overweight. It's okay. Like, why is it hard to say, let's move into something different? Why is it that much harder when things are good to change? Because it takes crisis for most people to change. It's got to be so uncomfortable that nothing's making that feeling go away.

39:25That's what most people wait for. And yet, you don't have to wait for that. You actually could say, I want to be defined by a vision of the future every day. That's what I want. But for most people, it takes that crisis or that something where all of a sudden they can see themselves for the first time. Nothing is making that feeling go away and they don't feel like themselves. And they can see how they thought. They can notice how they were acting. They can feel how they spent their whole life feeling. And they objectify their subjective self. They become conscious of their unconscious self. So for most people then, it takes that person or that circumstance or that condition to finally make up their mind to change.

40:09And the last part about that is for the person who's not changing, they're not choosing. They're just comfortable in the known. They're just comfortable being in the known. and the unknown is when you're at your best because there's uncertainty there's unpredictability there's chaos that's the energy that you have to organize to create with and if you react and you respond and you do all of that you're caught up in the chaos and you're you're thinking acting feeling equal to the environment your your person your personal reality is creating your personality now your environment is controlling the way you think and feel.

40:51And as a program, we got to be able to turn that around. The thing that's helped me, maybe you have a better explanation for what could help trigger the energy and momentum for change when life is good. The thing that's worked for me really well is really having a vision of the future that I don't have yet, that I dream and desire in a big way, that is a fulfilling vision of the future for me. That's because life is usually pretty good for me unless it's not. And then it's either tragedy. Then it's like, okay, I need to completely go to therapy every single day and start transforming and do whatever it takes to finally heal.

41:32Or it's like, God, there's something, there's something like in my heart that I don't, I haven't lived yet in terms of a vision that's greater for myself, that I feel like I'm supposed to be living. That's, that's somewhere that I want to draw in. That is the only time besides tragedy or trauma where I'm like, I will be as disciplined as possible. I'll overcome all negative thoughts. I'll do whatever it takes because it's so big that it demands a new way of being. It demands new behaviors, disciplines, thoughts, emotions. It demands it. It's so big, I have to become different. Like getting to this venue is so much bigger than what I've done before.

42:17We had to do things differently. I can't keep doing the comfortable same things. All these different things. I had to become someone different. So I don't know if there's anything else besides that that you would recommend or that you're aware of. But for me, it's having that dream or vision so much bigger that it demands me to become different. Yeah, I think the highest form of motivation is mission motivation. it's you know it's purpose motivation it's duty motivation you know when you have a vision that is big you know like in some way selfless to change people to change the world to do something that is the highest form of motivation because it's the most selfless form and more wired to be selfless and then the next form of motivation is called um personal conviction motivation like I'm going to do this because I said I'm going to do it.

43:15And a lot of people who are motivated have that kind of motivation. But people who have kind of that mission and duty motivation will naturally have personal conviction. Yes. Then there's that next form of motivation called ethics motivation or morality-based motivation. And that's based on good and bad, right and wrong, heaven and hell. You know the story. It's ethics and morality. And it's not the highest form of motivation, but it does motivate people. But people who have a very high purpose and have personal conviction will naturally have a common sense of ethics and morality. They'll just kind of fall right in line.

43:56And then there's that kind of self-aggrandizement, need for recognition and popularity and fame and all that stuff. That's not a very high form of motivation. It requires a lot. But people who have that vision, who have personal conviction, have that ethics and morality, naturally get the attention, naturally get the recognition. The science says the lowest form, the data, the research shows the lowest form is not my research, just research in general. The lowest form is money motivation because it's the most selfish form of motivation. And that very likely doesn't have any payoff for a lot of people in the end.

44:33And so you have that vision, you have that mission, you have that big thing in your mind. And yeah, you got to make a lot of changes and do things differently if you're going to expand your vision. It's just, it's got to be upgraded, right? And so a person who's on the journey in the process of discovery to be the creator will always want to step out of the comfort zone of the known and try something out new in the unknown. And if you believe in yourself and it all lines up, it actually works. And then you, from this experience, you can become aware of possibilities you were never aware of before, unless you had the experience.

45:14You can dream bigger now. You know, it could be, what is my next vision? Right, right. It can go on forever, in fact. You mentioned money for a moment there. You know, I think a lot of people, we live in a material world where money is needed. And I think a lot of people here want to figure out ways to make more money in their life. They probably feel more options, more flexibility, freedom from that money. But I don't think this is like a money-hungry community, but I think we all probably are striving to increase our income. How can we have a vision towards a money goal without it making us feel separate or being a lower motivation?

45:50Like how do we say, yeah, I want to make more money. I want more money. I want more financial freedom. But you said it was like a lower motivation level. How do we marry that to something greater so it's not just money, money, money? Yeah. But the money also comes. Yeah, get really good at doing something. Just get really, really, really good at doing one thing. Do it really, really well. Whatever you do that you love to do and you do really well, it'll be valued. And just make something of value, like something valuable to you. And values are being lost in our world right now. So I don't know.

46:28I think there's nothing wrong with money. I mean, but if you have a belief that money's bad, you're going to have to overcome that. But I don't think there's anything wrong with having wealth. It's not good or bad or right or wrong. It's just an experience that you want to have. And people who do manifest that kind of abundance, the next thing they do, as I said, is they want to make a difference. Yes. They want to give in some way. They reach that level, and now there's another level for them. I don't know if anyone here has experienced this or feels this right now, or if everyone feels completely peaceful around money conversations or having money or not having money.

47:10But if for whatever reason, someone in the audience feels an amount of stress with money, they feel like they don't have enough. They feel anxious every time they get it. They never want to spend it. They're always counting it. It's just an anxious feeling. It doesn't feel good. It feels good when to get it, but then they're scared. How can someone have a new emotion towards money when it comes, when it goes, when it's not coming? You got to upgrade your model. I mean, you got to upgrade your understanding about money. I mean, and money is a relationship and have a great relationship with money.

47:51Just like you have a great relationship with anything, have a great relationship with money and have it just be the side effect of your values have it be the side effect of of who you are and yeah and you'll have to put in time so then a wealthy person then would never feel lack that's just unless they really really want to but the person who's who's has the money or worried about spending or i'm certain it's not money i'm certain it's the emotion they're addicted to and they're using that money situation to reaffirm their addiction to that emotion and they're becoming addicted to the life they don't even like right and that takes and so that that's a mismanagement of attention and energy so that they have to upgrade their their knowledge base and so you want to become wealthy read a book on a wealthy person someone who became wealthy say it again, really what?

48:52read a book does anybody read books? actually read a book on a wealthy person and memorize the characteristics of how they became all the failures they had all the losses that should be what inspires you to become wealthy they became wealthy I remember sitting with a very wealthy man in Manhattan and Harvard grad. I tutored his kids. He was a really out-of-the-box dude. And he was super wealthy. And I was late for this lunch. And I was like, I'm down to the cab. And I jumped out of the cab. And I just started walking. And he was eating a hamburger. And he was, because he was waiting. And I was late.

49:39And he was hungry. So he was eating. And I walked in. He said, I got you a salad.

49:46and he was chewing his hamburger and he said to me in while with his mouth full of food today i lost everything i i own i'm just like and he looked at me like really shocked and he's like what will you eat i am wealth what are you talking about i'll make it back in a few days it wasn't It didn't mean anything. He understood how to do it. It wasn't a loss for him. It was a lesson. He just was going back in the game again. And of course he did. It was like he did it again. Wow, that's a great character trait to be that kind of example for your peers or your children. I mean, that's a great example.

50:33Wow. He said, I am well. He said, I am. He looked at him. I was shocked. Because most people would be stressed or freaking out or on the phone or frantic. He said, I am wealth. I know how to do this. I know how to do it. I mean, what about people that lose it all that don't know how to do it? Yeah, of course. They found the wealth. I lost my$1 ,000. That's all I had. How do they say I am wealth? Yeah, well, this is, you know, this is, it is an interesting time to be alive, no? It's a really interesting time to be alive. There's just a lot of things happening, you know? So how do you stay out of survival?

51:14Yeah. I mean, that's really the question. Stay out of it. How do you stay out of survival? Because living in stress is living in survival. And stress is created when you can't predict something, you can't control something, or you have the perception that something's going to get worse. And there's an alarm system that immediately is built into our biology that causes us to get prepared for that threat or that danger. And that arousal then is an awakening, and the brain goes into this super alert state. And when we're in that state now, all of our attention is on our body. All of our attention is on our environment.

51:52All of our attention is on time, separation, right? We start to narrow our focus. So now we've got to play by the rules of Newtonian physics, and that means you've got to try harder, you've got to work harder, you got to do something, you got to cheat, you got to steal, you got to do whatever a person does when they're in survival to take away the lack of what they're not having. And it could be anything for people. And it explains a lot of human behavior because in that state of stress, in that state of survival, nobody's important but you. You become very self-involved, very self-indulgent. It's all about self.

52:26And then there's a story that goes along with that. So there's no easy answer for the person who's lost everything except get over the emotion. Because if you can't get over the emotion, you can't get past that problem. And justified or not, valid or not, the only person that those chemicals, those emotions are hurting are you. And it's dysregulating your autonomic nervous system. And people become addicted to the arousal of those emotions. And just like anything, you can have a bad trip or an overdose. And you could actually knock your brain and body out of balance just by thinking. Literally, you become addicted to your own thoughts.

53:12And the long-term effects of that push the genetic buttons that create disease. So thinking influences our genetics, which could either create disease or could create healing. That's exactly what we discovered. We discovered that if you teach a person how to stop thinking that way and producing those feelings, you're no longer weakening the body by your own thinking. How weak are we making our bodies with low-level thinking? How much does it actually impact us biologically? I don't know what low-level thinking is, but I can tell you that the emotions that are associated... Not abundant thinking, you know, stressed thinking.

53:55thinking. Yeah, those emotions that you're feeling, like anger and aggression and frustration and impatience and fear and anxiety and resentment and jealousy and envy and insecurity, guilt and shame, hopelessness, powerlessness, all of those emotions are the emotions that are derived from the hormones of stress. The biological effects keep every cell in the body in an emergency mode. Wow. Every cell is using, squandering all of its energy for the threat or danger in its outer world. So keep that up for a period of time. There's no energy to heal. There's no energy to create. There's no energy for long-term building projects in the body because when you're living in emergency, see.

54:52It's not a time to create. So the body begins to break down. So breaking that conditioning process and having a person sit with themselves for a period of time where they're not thinking about their cell phone or their TikTok or their social media or their texts and they get beyond all the people in their life, all the things that they have to think about, all the places they need to go, if they could quiet down their brain and stop thinking in that way after a period of time, their biology begins to change. And they naturally no longer activate those same hormonal centers that make them feel those emotions.

55:36And if they inhibit that, energy actually naturally moves into their heart. It just goes right up in there and the heart's the creative center. And the heart, the moment energy moves into the heart, it starts beating orderly instead of disorderly when it's in stress it's resentment and patience is beating disorderly now the heart can beat now it's it's got energy and it begins to inform the brain it resets the baseline in the chemical brain the limbal limbic brain it tells the brain the trauma's over its past is over and it tells it tells the brain to create stop living in survival now start creating and the person starts thinking in different brainwave patterns they're naturally creative.

56:19It turns out if you do that for a period of time, you can up-regulate genes, just like you down-regulated genes from feeling those other emotions. Trade those emotions for those elevated emotions, and you actually change your gene expression ahead of the environment. And if the environment signals the gene, and it does, and the end product of an experience in environments is an emotion, you're feeling that emotion, you're signaling genes ahead of your environment. And the body's literally changing in that moment. Do that for seven days and your body will look like it's living in a whole new environment.

56:56That's what our data shows. Got dogs over here. I'm excited too. Who let the dogs out? I like it. Who let the dogs out?

57:10We've got a few more minutes, but I want to share, we're going to share a video in a moment of the research that you've done and a documentary that you have in a moment. But there's one or two final questions that I have. I'll keep them short, yeah.

57:31How many of you, just raise your hand if you're a parent. Raise your hand if you're a parent. How much does our energy, either our thoughts and our energy, affect the genetic imprint of our children's as they grow up? Just our energy and way of being, our thinking, our words, how much of an imprint does it really have? If we are living in that survival mode, stress, anxious, resentment, frustration, thinking, which I still don't know how much time in a day you're allowed to have that. How much percentage? Is it 10 % of the day? Is it 50 %? It's whatever you want. Right, exactly. But, you know, where you can still be abundant, you know.

58:16You know, how much of us feeling stressed and anxious and, ah, we're running late. Ah, we don't have the money. Ah, your father, your mother. How much of that actually really hurts our kids in the world?

58:34It's just a layup question for you. I think parenting is the fast track to enlightenment. I really do.

58:48And children have mirror neurons. And mirror neurons are empathy neurons. You can say to your kids, stop being an emotional basket case. And they'll observe your behavior. They observe behavior. And mirror neurons actually emulate behavior. They model behavior. So then if you're telling your one-year-old while it's running around the house, stop that, once it starts walking, don't do that, and put that down, and they turn two, you're going to say something to them, and they're going to say, no.

59:27They learned that from you. Yeah. A lioness who's teaching her cubs to hunt, she doesn't say, okay, I got a game plan, huddle up, you go this way, you go this way. She doesn't do that. She says, watch me. And those cubs are already bonded to her, and she's stealth, and she's patient, and she's watching. And the cubs, the neurons in their brain that are firing are the same neurons in the mother. The mother's priming their brain for the behavior through mere neurons, and they will behave that way. and children the very first six or seven years of their life their brainwaves are in very low brainwave states delta and theta and low level alpha and there's no editor there's no door between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind all the information that are that they're getting in is getting in unedited it's big boys don't cry little girls should be seen and not heard, whatever, whatever that is, you understand.

1:00:36That's the information that's going in that's actually programming them into certain beliefs about themselves and about reality. And so when a child is observing a person living in stress and living in survival, they will in time begin to produce the same emotions that are created from watching their parents go through the same trauma, the same event or perception of life in itself. And so then now it takes a little work for that person then to make the change either on their own or when the family changes. And so then when one person can change in the family, it allows other people to change in the family.

1:01:25You don't have to go back into your life and say you need to be less addicted to emotions and you need to stop signaling the same genes in the same way you stop making your heart incoherent you know that's not good for you so now that's not that's not what people need they need for you to show up as the example yes you got to walk into you got to walk into your life back from this event in the state of greatness and whatever that model is for you you got to show them what it looks like I guarantee you, you do that. They'll want to know what you know. The teaching is not what you're saying any longer.

1:02:02It's who you are, right? Something's different. And so with children, they are the fast track to enlightenment, and they model behaviors. So if you want to teach your kids how to be more emotionally intelligent, which I think is the best thing you can teach them, how to shorten their emotional responses to certain people and certain things. Teach them that by doing it with them. By doing it with them, I guarantee you'll have a buddy for life. I hope you enjoyed today's episode and it inspired you on your journey towards greatness.
