How to Rewire Your Brain and Heal Disease | Dr. Joe Dispenza

31:51And so many people spend their whole life building an identity of being someone. Take your attention off your cell phone, your computer, your car, and go from something to nothing. Take your attention off where you're sitting where you need to be someplace. You have to go go from somewhere to nowhere And take your attention off time linear thinking about the predictable future of the familiar past And fall into the generous present moment and go from sometime to no time Then all you're left with is consciousness And that's the moment you're no longer playing by the same rules of matter to matter And there's an a very elegant moment that takes place in the brain In fact, I was just showing my research to a group of researchers in Santa Cruz this past week.

32:36And they were blown away. And I said, now watch. This person is going to have a transformational moment. They said, how do you know? I go, I've seen enough of these. And the next moment, the whole brain just lights up. That person is switched on. They'll never be the same person again. They're having a transcendental moment. And we could actually predict it and teach it now. It's a formula. Just like you doing sports. It just becomes a formula. And then you change the formula and you add to it, right? So when you no longer are identifying with your body, your environment, and time, that's the moment you're pure consciousness.

33:13You're just an idea. You're an awareness. Awareness. Awareness that has nothing to do with local space and time. And now, if you're no longer... You can go beyond anything. You can go beyond, and that's when the brain... Because the brain doesn't change the brain. It takes a long time. It takes a long time for the personality to change the personality for the ego to change the ego the programs that change the programs Takes forever matter takes a long time to change matter, but when you're in this moment You're no longer playing by those rules Consciousness is the phenomenon above matter in fact consciousness is beginning to activate or manipulate circuits in the brain People just think the brain is creating consciousness.

33:51No consciousness is executing the brain, right? So then if the brain can change Disengage Then the mind doesn't change the brain mind is the brain and action is consciousness that changes it so when people begin to disengage and Get beyond themselves. You are at your absolute best when you get beyond yourself and getting the person to that point How does someone get to that point? Yes Well, we teach them that formula we teach them to that point where all of a sudden They reach that generous present moment where they just feel connected and when they're in that place all the things they thought they wanted they actually no longer want because they feel like they already have them so then imagine living your life from that place you would be less judgmental and you would be less frustrated you would be less impatient reactive and so so the formula then is that it requires a clear intention which is a coherent brain and when you're living stressed out and something goes wrong and you're threatened or you can't predict an outcome or you have the perception that something's getting worse or you can't control it you switch on that fight or flight nervous system that i talked about now here's what happens when that occurs you start shifting your attention from one person to one problem the one thing to another person to another place because your brain is trying to predict the next moment well every one of those people and things and places has this neurological network in your brain so as you shift your attention from one to the next it's like a lightning storm in the clouds your brain starts firing very incoherently when your brain is incoherent you're incoherent and when you're living by the hormones of stress not a time to create no not a time to open your heart not a time to learn not a time to trust and it's a time to run fight or hide so people spend 70 of their time of their life living in the state wow so think about it so miserable yeah so then when you're under stress if there's a if there's a cougar around the corner you're not going to sit down and meditate sit still right but but so you got the survival gene switched on and nobody is going to believe in possibility when you're living in survival right yeah so then when you're living in stress what happens is you narrow your focus on the cause you narrow your focus on matter the object the thing and so people get switched on and all of their attention is on their outer world when the hormones of stress kick on the body gets an arousal now your attention is on the body and And of course, when you're under stress, you're trying to predict the future based on the past.

36:22And now you're literally enslaved into three-dimensional reality. So then how do you get what you want? You got to try harder. You got to force it more. You got to work harder. You got to fight for it. It's matter trying to change. It's exhausting. People will just burn out, right? So then we now know that when you go from a narrow focus on something and you begin to open your focus, You create sense and awareness that the act of opening your focus causes you to stop thinking. And if you stop thinking, you no longer activate those circuits and you start to slow your brainwaves down. And as you slow your brainwaves down, you start connecting to that autonomic nervous system, the thing that's giving you life.

37:00And all of a sudden, when you get beyond yourself, it says, he's gone. Let's step in and just clean up this mess before he gets back. Really? And its job is to create order and balance. Your body will start to do that for you. The innate intelligence will step right in once you connect. You got to connect. So you got to know how to change your brainwaves. You can't change your brainwaves. You stay in that active state. You're basically moving furniture around. You're analyzing your life within some disturbing emotion. And I can tell you after looking at all those brainstands, if you're analyzing your life within some disturbing emotion, you're going to make your brain worse.

37:30In fact, you are thinking in the past, right? So you teach people the formula, how to open their focus, change their brainwaves, connect to that invisible field, and all of a sudden, different compartments of the brain start synchronizing. The front of the brain starts talking to the back of the brain. The right side starts talking to the left side. And all of a sudden, what sinks in the brain links in the brain. And all of a sudden, you see this person starting to feel more like themselves. And when you see those two hemispheres of the brain start lighting up, watch out because that person is going to feel really whole.

38:01They're going to start loving life. They're going to feel like they're going to be in love with life because the union of polarity and duality is wholeness at the exact same time. Coherent brain, when you're resentful, when you're judgmental, when you're impatient, your heart beats out of rhythm. Why? You're stepping on the gas and you're stepping on the brake at the same time. Your body and its intelligence living in survival is saying T-Rex is back there, but you're not running because you're sitting across the table looking at somebody smiling and your body's revved up, right? So the heart is beating arrhythmically.

38:32And when that happens, you're squandering, you're using all the body's life force and turning it into chemistry, right? You're using all that energy to survive as opposed to think beyond. Right, right. So you're drawing from your vital life force that invisible field around your body and you're turning into chemistry. You actually are going to shrink your own field. The hormones of stress cause us to be materialists, right? When we're under stress, we're using our senses to determine reality. So now you feel more like matter and less like energy, more separate from possibility. So then to teach a person then how to regulate that heart center.

39:07And we do this, we've done 6 ,000 heart scans. Why? Because if I can teach you how to get in that heart state, and I can teach you how to activate that center, and I can teach you how to regulate an elevated emotion, the heart starts to create a very coherent signature. And when the heart starts beating like a drum like dropping a pebble in water It begins to produce a measurable magnetic field up to three meters wide now if you're more energy Than matter more wave than particle now that field that's being created is Measurable and that's an energy and energy is frequency and all frequency carries information So what is the information when it makes it here?

39:48You're sharing into the world it could carry the thought of your healing why because it's consistent with the energy guilt isn't going to carry the thought of your healing it's a different frequency and all of a sudden now the person is elevating their emotional state and they're allowing their thought to be carried on that frequency they're broadcasting a whole new energetic signature but thoughts are the language of the brain and feelings are the language of the body and how you think and how you feel creates your state of being so then the question is if you keep practicing creating that state of being it should become familiar to you yes or no the word meditation literally means to become familiar with so then if you're practicing moving into these elevated states and your heart is coherent and we're measuring and i can say louis you got it now do it for 30 minutes now do it for 60 minutes and you practice creating that coherence you'll know when you're there and when you're not yes or no sure and then you would be able to say like a skill like anything else give me a minute i'm going to step out and you're going to go back in the heart coherence and bring up that state now we get there in the heart oh well then we practice the formula again rest your attention start calling up elevated emotions and when you start seeing that that starts happening then you sustain it then you keep practicing and all of a sudden it gets longer and longer and longer now what's the relevance behind that well we've measured neurotransmitters so when a person actually activates their heart the heart releases a chemical called oxytocin oxytocin is actually the love chemical not Oxytocin signals nitric oxide nitric oxide signals another chemical called endothelial derived relaxing factor What does that do?

41:26Causes the vessels in your heart to swell you will literally have energy in your heart You will literally feel like your heart is full now once you have that feeling You're not gonna want to trade that feeling for anyone or anything you're gonna say Why would I judge that person if I judge that person to lose this feeling now all of a sudden you're self-regulating now? Now, once the heart is activated, I just was at the research lab this week. Once the heart is activated, it acts as an amplifier, and it amplifies energy in the brain. Where does all anxiety stem from? Anxiety is doing this, living in survival.

42:05When you're living in survival, I'll tell you this, when the survival gene is activated, out of the infinite potentials in the quantum field, you'll always choose the worst case scenario. Why? Because if you're in survival and you're preparing for the worst There's always better chances of surviving if anything less happens So people are always selecting the worst thing in their mind and they begin to emotionally embrace that future before it happens Thought and emotion you start conditioning so you're conditioning the body To become the mind of fear you keep doing that enough times Once the body becomes the mind it's a subconscious program person as a panic attack try as you may to control it with your conscious mind you can't you programmed it subconsciously now you worry about the next panic attack and as you start worrying about the next panic attack it's the vigilance that creates the next one now here's what's happening in our work people who are self-regulating and creating these elevated states we have we have heart scans of them sustaining heart coherence for a whole hour during a meditation then at the end of the day they're still wearing the monitor it's eight o 'clock at night they're not even in a meditation and for a whole entire hour they're in heart coherence we say to the woman uh what's going on here she said i have no idea i was just getting ready for bed and all of a sudden my heart just swelled up it was so intense i had to lay on my back and surrender to love instead of surrendering to fear she had a spontaneous love attack instead of a spontaneous panic attack now i would call that the natural state of being so then if you're living by those elevated states and you know how to feel that emotion of your future before it happens you're less likely to wait for it to happen because you'll feel like it already happened you'll less likely try to control it you'll know that the moment you lose the feeling you just disconnect it and you're going to make your way back and when you get good at it no person no thing no experience can take it away from you now you're empowered and if you understand the laws of how creation happens then you're less likely to compete and rush to get what you want you're going to know that it's going to come to you.

44:08And now that's the new model of how we create. Knowing it's going to come to us at the right time. What if we want it faster? Yeah, you just do it again. But remember, if you're trying to make it happen faster, you're back to the old self. The new self would never do that. The new self would constantly stay there. And so then how does it appear? It appears in a way that you can't expect. Because if you can predict it, it's the known. It's going to come in a way that you haven't thought of and unknown. And it's got to rock your world. It's got to catch you off guard. It's got to leave you no doubt that what you've been doing inside of you that produces some effect outside of you.

44:47And when you correlate what you've been doing inside of you with the effect that you produced outside of you, you're going to pay attention to what you did and do it again. And the energy of the joy that you feel when it happens, you're going to use that energy to create again. Now, people say to me, well, I'm this way because of that person and that thing. I would say to them, so you mean then that person or that experience out there is controlling your thoughts and feelings? That means you're a victim to your environment. But when you start changing your thoughts and feelings and it starts to produce an effect in your environment, you're going to change the belief that you're a victim consciously or subconsciously of your life to becoming more of a creator of your life.

45:27And now all of a sudden you become more a creator of your life. You can't blame anybody. You can't say, well, that person or that thing, you'd have to say, I got to be greater than that environmental condition. Who in history can I study that had the same challenges? What did they do? Let me just work that into my rehearsal so that I can improve, right? Just like you've done with sports. It's the same process. Yeah. When do you experience the most love? Oh, personally. Yeah, that's a great question. So it turns out that the signature of the quantum field is greater and greater degrees of oneness and wholeness, right?

46:03So think about it. When we live in stress, we live in separation, right? Because our senses fool us into believing you're there and I'm here and everybody is separate from us and everything is separate from us. That's 3D reality, right? But as you start opening this center, all of a sudden, when you become nobody, no one, no thing, nowhere, and no time, right? That's the moment that your consciousness lines up with the consciousness of the field. That's when you are totally present Now here's the deal if I can get people to believe that just because they can't see something Doesn't mean it doesn't exist that they can just connect and pay attention to that field and stay present with it and become more aware of it moment after moment after moment every interaction with that invisible field every experience lays down new circuits in their brain for them to perceive more of it right so then as they keep their attention on it they start moving closer and closer to it so they experience less separation and more oneness and wholeness so then when that happens there's a cascade of all kinds of physical and chemical and energetic things that begin to happen so for me the the best way that i can describe that field is it's intelligent love it's greater levels of order and unity and oneness and when you strike it and you hit it it is the most incredibly electric feeling you will ever have it is the most familiar unfamiliar feeling you will ever have you will swear that you are ancient in that moment and you will connect and it won't be just like love for your puppy you will feel it in every single cell of your body And I mean like a vibration, a coherence where your body becomes electric.

47:52And the only way we can describe that is love. You taste that one time. You want it all the time. Here's what I say. I always say the first time it happens, the first time it happened to me and every time since when I come back to my senses, I always say the same thing. Joe Dispenza, you got this all wrong. Because some veneer, some conditioning is lifted. and you start realizing that the way you think life is isn't that way. So now, when I've had those moments, Louis, I have said, there cannot be any more love than this until the next experience. Until the next time. I mean, how much is there, right?

48:32I mean, you get super humbled. When was the last time? Oh, about, well, about five days ago. Yeah. What was the moment? oh i just had a very profound experience i was uh i'll tell you the short story and how often does it happen also i don't know i mean i i live for them yeah uh try to do it every month i can no i i i just do the meditations and uh and then when they happen i'm if i'm just in the right place and i don't have a plane to catch or an email to answer and i have a little laxity and I can kind of surrender into the moment. I just, I had this incredible, I don't know how to describe this, but there is a geometric pattern like mandala.

49:21I don't know what it was. And it moved right through my entire body. And it was like working with me, with my physical body. And if I could surrender to it, it was just incredible bliss. I mean, incredible, incredible bliss i mean i don't know how to describe it and and and when that occurs uh when it happened to me i had this my heart was just lit up like it was it was a was an experience it wasn't a physical experience you know it was from within and here's the weird thing every time it happens my heart feels alive like it lasts for days like the emotion from the experience last for a day. Continues off.

50:04And people are like, what's up with you? Like, what? And you're just kind of so joyful. You got this big smile and you're like, I just am so happy to be alive. So I think that independent of, listen, I now know, I mean, we've measured genetic changes, hormonal changes, neurotransmitter changes. We've measured immune system responses by trading fear for gratitude. We've measured gene expressions. We now know that people can signal the gene to reduce cancer and tumors, signal the gene to grow new neurons. We've measured this. Signal the gene for stem cells to go to damaged tissues and repair them.

50:43Oxidative stress, gene signal. We've seen that in our students. Now, here's the deal. After all of those studies in the last six years, you can't tell me you're too old to do this work. Can't tell me that. We've got people in their 80s doing miraculous things. Can't tell me you're too sick to do this work. The people that were the end of their life stage four and we turn that battleship around. You can't tell me that you had too turbulent of a past to do this for people that were really rough pasts that are now free. You can't tell me you're not you're never meditating for people have never meditated before the most profound mystical experience.

51:21You can't tell me you're too overweight, too underweight, too out of shape, too in shape. Can't tell me that anymore because all colors, all races, everybody can do it. That's the cool part about it. And when you get a community of people together and you move them from one state of mind to another, there's this moment. And I can almost predict when it happens, the second or third day where people just start hooking up. And then when they start hooking up, you know, we start, we're seeing now in our events. I mean, a lady that was blind from birth, 5 % vision, by the end of the event was seen.

51:56I mean, how do you explain that? We had three people in the last two events that were deaf that are shearing now. Wow. People with crutches that were limited or walking without crutches and canes, spinal cord injuries, I mean, Parkinson's disease. In a week, like, that's got to be, like, that doesn't wake you up to what's possible. And you're witnessing a tumor from a woman's thyroid that was there at the beginning of the event and was gone at the end of the event. I mean, like, you got to scratch your head and just go, wow, the reality isn't at all the way I think it is, right? And so there's this humility that comes, like, well, I don't know anything, but I'm willing to go down, push the envelope a little bit more.

52:43So we're only as good as our ability to execute this, right? But as we get better at it. Consistency of it, too, yeah. I'm all about consistency, and I'll be the first guy to say, do the blood test, do the scan, let's do the test to make sure that it's just not in your mind, it's in your brain. Let's know. So now the evidence then supports it, the testimonials support it, and all of a sudden people now are beginning to wake up to what's possible. And just like the four-minute mile. The four-minute mile was broken. Once it was broken, it would pierce the veil. Everything did. So we're just seeing now this same thing.

53:22We've pierced a vow. And people are just all in. They're not 50 % in. They're all in. And by goodness, we're creating this kind of wake and momentum. But not just for healing. But for creating new jobs and new relationships, new opportunities. Abundance, everything. Whatever it is that they want. People come to the work for all kinds of reasons. And I don't really care. But by the time they start doing the work, all they really want to do is give. because when you feel so amazing and feel so great about yourself that you no longer want anything, the first thing you want to do is give. I mean, when we see that brain scan moving into coherence and those two hemispheres come together and all of a sudden you see that heart just start going boom, boom, very orderly.

54:06And the more energy going in the brain, the brain goes into super coherence. You can walk around and look at that person who's getting the brain scan and there are tears of joy rolling down our face. Do you feel like you've answered those questions for yourself? Who am I? Why am I here? What am I doing? Yeah, I think so. I think that... Or is there questions you still haven't answered? No, I mean, it's not that there's questions that I still haven't answered. It's just that I'm always changing my answers. Because I'm not... I mean, even my definition of surrender, just from six months ago, is not even close to the same definition that I have today.

54:41What's the definition now? Well, surrender, I mean, it's just greater degrees of letting go and trusting. I just like, like, like when my world is going sideways and my staff is just freaking out, I'm always like, oh, I'm just going to let go. I'm just, I'm not going to control anything. They're like, what? The ship is sinking. Like, yeah, but I got to go against the chemicals and I got to trust. Because if you're going to stress in that moment and have anxiety, you're going to create more of that. Oh, you're going to make things worse. So I just let go all the way, all the way. And you've got to lay down the very thing you used your whole life to get what you want for something greater to occur.

55:22And that's not one bite. That's not one leap. It's a practice. And so letting go a little bit more and trusting. If you over-surrender, that's lazy and lethargic. If you over-intend, that's trying and forcing. so there's this razor's edge between intention and surrender right you got to be able to be able to take action right yeah right but surrender right right but you don't want to get in the way right so and that's just it's a lot of trial and error you know but you figure it out right wow yeah what do you feel like your mission is right now then wow so um for me right now i mean my passion is these week-long events.

56:03How many do you do a year? We do about 10, just a little less than once a month around the world. It's usually about 1 ,000 people. Now what we're doing is we're doing this whole other level. We're doing two really cool things. One is a challenge activity. What I want to do is we now know that our students can create a lot of brain and heart coherence, but they can do it with their eyes closed in a room with 1 ,000 people and soft music play and they feel safe. But now let's get them in a situation where that would normally elicit fear or some emotion. Get them in the real world. Get them in the real world and get them up somewhere where they're feeling a little uncomfortable or they're being challenged through endurance.

56:48And let's see them create brain and heart coherence right on that spot. Like this is the moment. This is your life. Like you got to be able to do this right now. You can't say I can't. It's too hard. I can't do this. I'll start tomorrow. I don't want to. That's not the moment. That's what you do in your life. Let's put you there. And instead of just white knuckling and pushing through, let's get really conscious. Surrender. Let's get really present. Let's create that heart and brain coherence and let's work it. And then make the move when you're in that state. You know, rhythm through that resistance.

57:19Create that kind of coherence. And I was just at the HeartMath Institute, who we partner with. And Doc Childer, the guy that created HeartMath, He said, it's all about rhythm through resistance. It's about that ability to create that kind of internal order when there's chaos going on around you. So what's the relevance of that? The person who's going through a challenge activity that's a huge obstacle course, and they have the belief that they have a spinal cord injury or they have MS or Parkinson's disease, and they never try anything in their life, and we got them up there. And there's people rooting for them, and they're in that state, and they're in that heart-killed illness, and they go through that whole course and they've overcome it, they're going to walk back in their life in whatever challenges that they have.

58:04They're going to be like, there's nothing. I've just reset the scale. So the other thing is that people move past where they normally can go. There's a liberation of energy. And that's a valuable energy that just needs to be organized. So they start organizing that energy, then they're doing magic. The other thing we're working on is non-local healing. We call it a cage. We have a person who lays down with a health condition. We get eight people around them. We teach them about energetic coherence. We talk to them about the science that does not matter that emits a field. It's the field that creates matter.

58:39Change the field. You change matter. We give them the science and the understanding and then we let them go. And we have seen people, all kinds of healings take place in 10 minutes. How do you explain that? How do you explain a person laying there who isn't even being touched and their entire body is moving in all these different directions by it with energy is it's incredible so I want to develop that why I want to get so good at that Louis that 50 % of those people that are laying down get up healed we're gonna walk into a city when we do a week-long event we're gonna call the children's hospital we're gonna say send those kids with cancer we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna change futures right and and and men you know you talk about opening your heart but if you you think you open your heart when you get an opportunity to give and you and these people have been working all week long when it comes time to heal they're not saying oh my back hurts they're saying how long is this gonna go am i doing it right transform someone's life yeah they left that they left those attitudes on monday yeah this is friday this is saturday they're not they're hooked they've been connecting the field all week long they're not they're not in their analytical mind they're beyond their body they know how to get beyond their environment they don't want to be on time so when it comes time to execute they've been practicing all we've been they've been at camp they've been practicing so so you get a group of people doing that together and all of a sudden the energy we've measured the energy of the room and the energy of the room always goes up it just goes up and that's available energy to heal that's available energy to do the mystical so i just want to get consistent and i want to get really good at it and it and it's not about me get out of yet well we were making great changes in like unbelievable changes in people's health but before i step out into the world and say let's go to the children's hospital in toronto and let's call up the oncologist there and say hey we'll never touch the kids right we'll just lay them down just want to hang out yeah it'll just be a half an hour they'll just be laying on the ground and then we'll be done and develop a relationship i want to be good enough that when we do do it that we're going to execute an outcome yeah and and and that way we're beyond reproach it's no longer a bunch of spiritualists doing this or there's a science behind that and we now know it thousands of cases or yeah we've got we've got tons of cases now exactly but i don't know the statistics we're going to start doing the statistics now and we're going to start tracking the changes so then i can say without a shadow of a doubt yeah we're at 30 our last three events we have 30 remission not not just like it goes away for a little bit but it goes away and flows away that's cool and some people go to the healing they get in the cage for their knee problems and they come out hearing better that just happened to a guy the other day he he had a bad knees and he was but he went in to get his knees healed but he forgot that he's you know he didn't think about his hearing problem he got bit by a poisonous snake when he was like a three-year-old kid and always had hearing problems whereas hearing aids the whole bit comes out of the he said he'd never felt in that amount of love in his entire life and that's the common thing that people say the woman that got her vision back That's not what she talked about.

1:01:44She didn't talk about the fact that she could see all she kept saying was I feel like a child again I feel like a baby and I feel fresh. I feel like I'm newborn I feel clean. She kept talking about how she felt then she said oh, yeah, and I can see faces now And there were these two big Flower arrangements on the stage and she said I thought those were guards guarding dr. Joe the whole week She couldn't even see the flowers. She just saw the you know the foreign and she goes, I can see the flowers now. But the first thing was how they felt. And he, the same way, he said, I had never, I was sobbing.

1:02:18I never felt so much love in my life. It wasn't like I was trying to feel it. It just happened. And he said, and I got up, and all of a sudden I could hear Dr. Joe talking without my hearing aids. And I just kind of like, I think my knees were a little better, but my hearing aids were a lot better, you know? So you never know, right? You never know. Everyone's got to get in the cage. In the cage, yeah. I like to give people a challenge. I'm curious I want everyone listening for the next seven days to try something and if you could give one to three different things that we could think differently or eliminates when a thought comes to us or we react in a certain way if there's something you think that we eliminated one two or three things and we did this every day for seven days we would start to see incredible feelings differently we feel healthier more lively more love what would be those two things okay well most people number one they get up in the morning and the first thing they do is they think about the problems in their life and those problems are memories from the past so the moment they think about the problems are thinking in the past right every one of those problems has an emotion attached to them so they start feeling unhappy or unworthy or whatever and how you think and how you feel is your state of being so most people's entire state of being is in the past when they start today So if in the familiar past they're gonna live in a predictable future, right?

1:03:39So they get up and they check their cell phone they check their text their whatsapp their Facebook They post something on Facebook. They tweet they Twitter they check the news Then they go to the bathroom get a cup of coffee take a shower get dressed check more emails drive to work the same way Do the same thing so try a program they've actually lost their free will to the program Wow, so if you start your day and you start your day with this simple question What is the greatest ideal of myself that I can be today? Ask yourself that question. Now listen, your body's going to go like, well, we've got to get a cup of coffee.

1:04:11I'm tired. I'm tired. And you've got to go, ah, ah, ah, ah, body. You're not the mind. I'm the mind right now. You're going to sit here. I'm going to feed you. You're going to get your coffee. You're going to do all those things. But right now, this is my time. You're going to obey me, right? So now, the body's no longer the mind. You're the mind. And so when it wants to get up and you become aware of it, you return back to the present moment. Every time you do, that's a victory. And you're changing some aspect of yourself. So then ask yourself, I do this all the time. Write down four thoughts that you're going to stay conscious of the whole day.

1:04:44I can't. It's too hard. You'd be surprised the moment you become conscious of what those thoughts are, how unconscious you've been to them all day, all for weeks on end. Write down what you speak how you speak for things you want to change how you act How do you how do you act do you complain you blame you make excuses you feel sorry for yourself? That's a victim consciousness What emotions do you live by is it possible that you're so used to living by guilt? You don't even know it's guilt. It just feels like you do you allow your energy to drop become conscious of those states of mind and body and review them and say this is the old self then say what thoughts do I want fire and wire in my brain and start firing and wiring and start feeling it what behaviors will I demonstrate today what choices will I make one day one lifetime and just like you did rehearse them rehearse the whole entire thing begin to install the neurological hardware in your brain and if you keep installing it the hardware is going to become a software program you start thinking and acting that way and then here's a tough part can you teach your body emotionally what your future is going to feel like before it's made manifest and don't get up until you feel that way no practice that for a few days and then see if you can stay in that state and watch all of a sudden all those weird doors start opening for you synchronicities synchronicities whatever they are number two take up time at the end of your day the end of your day before you lay down and give thanks for your life.

1:06:18Feel gratitude and really teach your body what it feels like. The emotional signature of gratitude, when gratitude means you're getting something. If I give you something that's of value, you would say thank you because you would feel it, right? So when you're receiving, you're giving thanks. So gratitude is the ultimate state of receiving. So then people only accept, believe, and surrender to the thoughts equal to their emotional state. So if you're in a state of gratitude, every thought's going to make it right down into your body. If you're saying, I'm healthy, I'm healthy, I'm healthy, I'm wealthy, I'm wealthy, I'm wealthy, and your body's programmed to negativity, it's saying, no, you're not, no, you're not, no, you're not, the thought's going to stop right here.

1:06:59So as you elevate your state, there are about 1 ,200 different chemical reactions that go on in the body that begin to restore and repair the body in a state of gratitude. And so we've done the research to prove that ten minutes and just feel it with all of your heart That's it. Wow third thing And and very important Take time whenever it is Sit down close your eyes and Begin to just open your awareness To the space around you and just sense it and pay attention to it and become more aware of it the act of opening your awareness begins to reduce the stress hormones and creates more brainwave states i'm doing it right now and it's just a practice yeah it's just a practice and the more you do it the better you get at it wow who's been your greatest teacher who life no doubt about it i believe that life is our initiation i mean uh i i um i do my best to see my life as a reflection of my mind.

1:08:04And I think that life is our greatest teacher. Reflection of your mind is essentially like what you've created is a reflection of how you've been thinking. Yeah, exactly. So if you're showing up sick physically, then that's what you've created in your mind. I don't believe that germs make me sick. I believe I make me sick. I do. I mean, there's no germs with my name on it out there. I mean, they're called opportunistic bacteria because they're waiting for an opportunity for your immune system. They're compromised. And so for me personally, you have to ask myself this question every day. At what point do I stop believing that I create my life?

1:08:43What is that point? So I'm always pushing that envelope a little bit more. So for me, I think life is our initiation. We don't need to go to any ancient school of wisdom in the Himalayas. Life is our initiation. and when you meet the challenges in your life from a greater level of mind, you're going to begin to move through those initiations. And what is the side effect of that? Wisdom. And that's what we take with us, being wise. Powerful. Well, how can we connect with you online and go to your events? What's the best place to go to? Yeah, so my website is just drjoedispenza.com, D-R-J-O-E, dispenza.com.

1:09:23And there's just a ton of resources there. We have an online progressive course now. I don't teach those courses anymore because my interest is in the week-longs. So for people who come to a week-long, they do a home study course where they get the basics. They understand what we're doing. It's about 23 hours. They can do it in however long they want. And then with that comes another study course. And then they can come to a week-long and join a community of people that are all about passion and the unknown. Amazing. Amazing. When's the next event? um well the next event gosh the next week long is in toronto uh september 1st through 7th and uh it's pretty close to sold out yeah then we'll be in the uh in australia in october and then the uk in november and then cancun mexico in december and then i got you know where i got a couple events that i'm doing here and there well other things yeah listen yeah um a couple final questions for you this one's called the three truths they ask everyone at the end if you imagine and it's your last day many years from now and you've achieved or created or been anything you've wanted to do.

1:10:29You've done it all. Everything you can think of has happened. Created it. Books, events, whatever you want to do. Heal the world. You've done it all. For whatever reason, you've got to take everything with you. All your writings, your research, material, videos, events. It's not available for anyone to have anymore. But you have a piece of paper and you get to write down three things you know to be true about your life or the lessons that you would leave behind and this is the only lessons that they would have access to what would you say are you got three rules wow uh number one is that the divine lives in every human being and that uh we have to make an effort to connect with it every day and when we do it answers the call in ways that we would just never anticipate.

1:11:15And I know that to be the truth and that nobody is so special to be excluded from them. Number two is that we are the creators of our lives and not the victims of our lives. And that taking time in your life to invest in yourself is to invest in a future. And when you invest in yourself, you invest in your future. And when you believe in yourself, you believe in possibility and i think that everybody secretly believes in themselves and so taking time to understand that we are just works in progress and and to find time to forgive ourselves and to forgive others to start fresh this the next day is a blessing is a blessing and and finally uh um i think that it's not our purpose in life to be a popular or successful or beautiful or or intelligent.

1:12:13Our purpose in life is to remove those blocks, those veils, those limitations that stand in the way between us and that divine intelligence. And when we do, it begins to make its way through us and we become more like it. We become more loving. It is a loving intelligence. We become more giving. It's a giver of life. We become more conscious. It's a consciousness. We become more mindful. It has an infinite mind. We become more willful. It has an amazing will. Its nature becomes our nature. Its mind becomes our mind. And then we don't have to try to be liked or try to be important or try to be recognized.

1:12:52We're just happy for no reason at all. And I think that is the natural state of being. And I think that we innately know that on some level. Great truths. Thank you. Before I ask the final question, I want to acknowledge you from Mom and Joe for constantly pushing the envelopes on what's possible. and constantly learning and growing and researching so that you can continue to help so many people in the world overcome pain, overcome stress, overcome disease, anything that's holding us back. And I really acknowledge the work that you're doing because I think it's wakening so many people up to what they thought was possible and we're limited to, to now what is actually possible for them.

1:13:33So I acknowledge you for all that. Thank you. I'll let that in all the way. Thank you. I appreciate it. And I'd love to have you come back on sometime in the future. But for now, I think that's going to blow people's minds. I was extremely inspired by everything you said. So the final question is, what's your definition of greatness? To greatness, my definition of greatness is to be greater than your environment, to be greater than your body, and to be greater than time. And if you do, you will be great. I mean, that is it. Sure. Thank you, man. Appreciate it. That was great. I hope you enjoyed today's episode and it inspired you on your journey towards greatness.
