The brain does not know the difference

between what it sees in its environment

and what it remembers.

We are running the holodeck.

--whatever way we observe the world around us--

So how can you continue to see the world as real

if the self that is determining it to be real is intangible?

[music playing]

Are all realities existing simultaneously?

Is there a possibility that all potentials exist side by side?

Have you ever seen yourself through the eyes

of someone else that you have become?

And looked at yourself through the eyes

of the ultimate observer?

Who are we?

Where do we come from?

What should we do?

And where are we going?

Why are we here?

Well, that is the ultimate question, isn't it?

What is reality?

What I thought was unreal now, for me, seems in some ways

to be more real than what I think to be real,

which seems now more to be unreal.

We can't explain it.

And anybody who gets too lost in trying-- anybody

who spends too much time trying to explain it is likely to get

lost forever down the rabbit hole of mysteriousness.

I think the more you look at quantum physics,

the more mysterious and wondrous it becomes.

Quantum physics, in very succinctly speaking,

is a physics of possibilities.

These are questions-- these are addressing questions

of how the world feels to us, of whether there's

a difference between the way the world feels to us

and the way it really is.

Have you ever thought about what thoughts are made of?

I think some of the things we're seeing with the children

today is a sign that the culture is in the wrong paradigm

and not appreciating the power of thought.

Every age, every generation has its built-in assumptions

that the world is flat, that the world is round, et cetera.

There are hundreds of hidden assumptions, things

we take for granted, that may or may not be true.

Of course, in the vast majority of cases,

historically, these things aren't true.

So presumably, if history's any guide,

much about what we take for granted about the world

simply isn't true, but we're locked into these precepts

without even knowing it oftentimes.

That's a paradigm.

Modern materialism strips people of the need

to feel responsible, and often enough so does religion.

But I think if you take quantum mechanics seriously enough,

it puts the responsibility squarely in your lap,

and it doesn't give answers that are clear cut and comforting.

It says, yes, the world is a very big place,

it's very mysterious; mechanism is not the answer,

but I'm not going to tell you what the answer is

because you're old enough to decide for yourself.

Is everyone a mystery?

Is everyone an enigma?

They most certainly are.

Asking yourself these deeper questions

opens up new ways of being in the world.

It brings in a breath of fresh air.

It makes life more joyful.

The real trick to life is not to be in the know,

but be in the mystery.

It's time to get wise.

[music playing]

Why do we keep recreating the same reality?

Why do we keep having the same relationships?

Why do we keep getting the same jobs over and over again?

In this infinite sea of potentials

that exists around us, how come we

keep recreating the same realities?

Isn't it amazing that we have options and potentials that

exist, but we're unaware of them?

Is it possible that we're so conditioned to our daily lives,

so conditioned to the way we create our lives

that we buy the idea that we have no control at all?

You've been conditioned to believe that the external world

is more real than the internal wold.

This new model of science says just the opposite.

It says what's happening within us

will create what's happening outside of us.

There's a physical reality that is absolutely rock solid,

and yet the only-- if you want to put it this way,

it only comes into existence when it bumps up

against some other piece of physical reality.

That other piece may be us and, of course, we're

partial to those moments.

But it doesn't have to be, either.

It could be just some incidental rock comes flying along

and interacts with this fuzzy mass of stuff.

And sure enough, it provokes it into a particular state

of existence.

And there were philosophers in the past that said, look,

if I kick a rock and I hurt my toe, that's real.

I feel that, it feels real, it's vivid.

And that means that it's reality.

But it's still an experience, and it's still

this person's perception of it being real.

Scientific experiments have shown that if we take a person

and hook their brains up to certain PET scans or computer

technology and ask them to look at a certain object,

and they watch certain areas of the brain light up.

And then they've asked them to close their eyes

and now imagine that same object.

And when they imagined that same object,

it produced the same areas of the brain to light up,

as if they were actually visually looking at it.

So it caused scientist to back up and ask this question--

so who sees, then?

Does the brain see or do the eyes see?

And what is reality?

Is reality what we're seeing with our brain

or is reality what we're seeing with our eyes?

And the truth is is that the brain does not

know the difference between what it sees in its environment

and what it remembers, because the same specific neuronets are

then firing.

So then it asks the question, what is reality?

We're bombarded by huge amounts of information.

And it's coming into our body, and we're

processing it coming in through our sense organs.

And it's percolating up and up, and at each step,

we're eliminating information.

And finally, what is bubbling up to consciousness

is the one that's the most self-serving.

The brain processes 400 billion bits of information

a second, but we're only aware of 2,000 of those.

But our awareness of those 2,000 bits of information

are just about the environment, our body, and about time.

[music playing]

We're living in a world where all we see

is the tip of the iceberg.

The classical tip of an immense quantum mechanical iceberg.

Hey, wow.

You got a lot of shots to develop?

No.

Oh, bummer.

Well, I'll catch you later.

[music playing]

If the brain is processing 400 billion bits of information,

and then our awareness is only on 2,000,

that means reality's happening in the brain all the time,

it's receiving that information, and yet we

haven't integrated it.

The eyes are like the lens.

But the tape that's really seeing

is the back of the brain.

It's called the visual cortex.

It's right back here.

It's like this camera and its tape.

Did you know that the brain imprints

what it has the ability to see?

Now, this is important.

For example, this camera is seeing a lot more around me

than what is here, because it has

no objection and no judgment.

The only movie that's playing in the brain

is what we have the ability to see.

So is it possible our eyes or camera

see more than what our brain has the ability

to consciously project?

Well, the way our brain is wired up,

we only see what we believe is possible.

We match patterns that already exists within ourselves

through conditioning.

So a wonderful story that I believe is true

is that when the Indians, the Native American Indians,

on the Caribbean islands saw Columbus' ships approaching,

they couldn't see them at all because it

was so unlike anything they had ever seen before.

They couldn't see it.

When Columbus' armada landed in the Caribbean,

none of the natives were able to see the ships,

even though they existed on the horizon.

The reason that they never saw the ships

was because they had no knowledge

in their brains or no experience that clipper ships existed.

So the shaman starts to notice that there is ripples out

in the ocean, but he sees no ship.

But he starts to wonder what's causing the effect.

So every day, he goes out and looks and looks and looks.

And after a period of time, he's able to see the ships.

And once he sees the ships, he tells everybody else

that ships exist out there.

Because everybody trusted and believed in him,

they saw them also.

[music playing]

We create reality.

We're reality producing machines.

We create the effects of reality all the time.

We always perceive something after reflection

in the mirror of memory.

[screams]

As far as whether or not we're just looking in a big holodeck

or not, it's a question that we don't necessarily

have a good answer to.

I think this is a big philosophical problem

that we have to deal with in terms of what science can say

about our world, because we are always the observer in science.

So we are still always constrained

by what is ultimately coming into the human brain that

allows us to see and perceive the things that we do.

So it is conceivable that all of this

really is just a great illusion that we

have no way of really getting outside of

to see what is really out there.

Your brain doesn't know the difference

between what's taking place out there

and what's taking place in here.

There is no out there out there

independent of what's going on in here.

[knocks]

You OK?

I heard you scream earlier.

Was it another dream?

You're an Indian, watching Columbus' ship materialize out

of thin air.

Wow.

And this medicine man kept hitting you.

Cool!

This, hey, maybe it was a past life or a parallel reality,

or a future life?

Get real.

Or maybe that dream was trying to tell you the truth?

I guess it just depends on what you think is real.

Maybe you should try different anxiety pills.

My pills are fine, OK.

Thank you.

Well, I have to go get dressed.

[yelps]

I hope you feel better, Amanda.

[music playing]

God, Amanda, what a possessive asshole.

Fuck!

[music playing]

They're actually hard choices in the direction

of how a life can go that are contingent upon small level

quantum effects not being washed out.

First of all, let's talk about the subatomic world.

And then, we'll talk about what it's telling us about reality.

The first thing I want tell you about a subatomic world

is it's totally a fantasy created

by mad physicists trying to figure out what the heck is

going on when they do these little experiments.

By little experiments I mean big energy in little spaces

and little pieces of time.

It gets pretty nutty at that realm of things.

And so subatomic physics was intended

to try to figure that all out.

We need a new science down there that's called quantum physics,

and it is subject to a whole range of debatable hypotheses,

thoughts, feelings, intuitions as

to what the heck is really going on.

Matter is not what we have long thought it to be.

To the scientists, matter has always

been thought of as sort of the ultimate

in that which is static and predictable.

Within all the atoms and molecules,

all the space within that, the particles

take up an insignificant amount of the volume of an atom

or molecule-- the fundamental particles.

The rest of it is vacuum.

What seems to happen is that particles appear and disappear

all the time.

So where do they go when they're not here?

Now, that question is tricky.

I'm going to give you two answers.

Answer number one.

They go into an alternative universe,

where the people in that universe

are asking the same question about those particles

when they come into our universe.

They say, where do they go?

There's a great mystery called the mystery

of the direction of time.

There's a certain sense in which the fundamental laws of physics

that we have don't make any interesting distinctions,

say, between past and future.

For example, it's a puzzle, from the standpoint

of the fundamental laws of physics,

why we should be able to remember the past

and not have the same kind of epistemic access to the future.

It's a puzzle, from the standpoint of these laws, why

we should think something like by acting now,

we can affect the future but not the past.

These things, that we have a different kind

of epistemic access to the past and the future,

that we have a different kind of control, by acting now,

over the future than we do over the past.

These things are so fundamental to the way

we experience the world that it seems to me not to be curious

about them is to be 3/4 of the way to being dead.

[music playing]

You want to shoot some hoops?

Why do you have to be like that?

Come on and play!

Look, he likes you.

Don't you have time for a little one-on-one?

How long has it been since you played?

Come on, you've got the ball.

Take a shot.

No, no, no, my lady, not from there.

That's out of bounds.

You've got to be on the court to be in play.

Welcome to Duke Reginald's court of unending possibilities.

[music playing]

Court rules, gotta sink the last one.

That hurt.

It never touched you.

And it's not solid.

This ball is mostly empty.

In fact, the universe is mostly empty.

We like to think of space as empty and matter as solid.

But in fact, there is, essentially,

nothing to matter whatsoever.

It's completely insubstantial.

Take a look at an atom.

We think of it as a kind of hard ball.

Then we say, oh, well, no, not really, it's

this little tiny point of really dense matter

right at the center, surrounded by a kind of fluffy probability

cloud of electrons popping in and out of existence.

But then it turns out that that's not even right.

Even the nucleus, which we think of as so dense,

pops in and out of existence just as readily

as the electrons do.

The most solid thing you can say about all

this insubstantial matter is that it's more like a thought,

it's like a concentrated bit of information.

What makes up things are not more things, but what makes up

things are ideas, concepts, information.

And like I said, it never touches.

[music playing]

Those electrons build up a charge

and push the other electrons away before they touch.

So nobody touches nothing.

Come on, put your stuff down.

Nobody's going to take it.

Like I said, this is my court.

There's no problem.

[music playing]

How long has it been?

I'll be late.

It's only in conscious experience

that it seems that we move forward in time.

In quantum theory, you can also go backwards in time.

You can always go back in time.

[music playing]

What's the matter?

Remember, it's empty.

How do you know these things?

I read Dr. Quantum comics.

Everybody thinks it's just kid stuff, but I know it's real.

It's how I do my magic on the court.

Yeah, I always choose the wonder boy first.

He's got the weird [inaudible].

Dr. Quantum says everybody's got it.

Everybody's doing it, doing it constantly,

each and every time you look.

When you ain't looking, it's like a wave.

When you are looking, it's like a particle.

When you are not looking, there are waves of possibility.

When you are looking, then there are particles of experience.

A particle, which we think of as a solid thing,

really exists in the so-called superposition, a spread

out wave of possible locations.

And it's in all of those at once.

The instant you check on it, it snaps

into just one of those possible positions.

Quantum superposition implies that a particle

can be in two places, two or more places or states

simultaneously.

And this is a very bizarre concept

and one of the hallmarks of the quantum world.

Superheroes use superposition, with the world

being potential strips of reality until we choose.

Heroes choose what they want.

Being in many places at once, experiencing many possibilities

all at once, and then collapsing onto one.

The question is how far down the rabbit hole do you want to go?

[music playing]

Nice shot!

How can a system or object be in two or more states

at the same time?

There's [inaudible] instead of thinking

of things as things we all have the habit of thinking

that everything around us is already a thing, existing

without my input, without my choice.

You have to banish that kind of thinking.

Instead, you really have to recognize

that even the material world around us,

the chairs, the tables, the rooms, the carpet, camera

included, all of these are nothing but possible movements

consciousness.

And I'm choosing moment to moment out of those moments

to bring my actual experience into manifestation.

This is the only radical thinking that you need to do.

But it is so radical, it's so difficult,

because our tendency is that the world is already

out there, independent of my experience.

It is not.

Quantum physics has been so clear about the.

Heisenberg himself, who discovered quantum physics,

said atoms are not things, they're only tendencies.

So instead of thinking of things,

you have to think of possibilities.

There are possibilities of consciousness.

You now can see, in numerous labs

around the United States, objects that are large enough

to be seen by the naked eye, and they are in two places

simultaneously.

You can actually take a photograph of that.

Now, I suppose if you showed a photograph, they'd say, oh,

great, here's this nice blob of colored light.

And I see there's a bit of it over here and a little bit--

so you've got to picture two dots.

What's the big deal?

And if so, what, well, look, but look right in the chamber.

You know you can see it, Rick.

Oh, I see two things there.

Oh, no, no, no, that's not two things.

That's one thing.

It's the same thing in two places.

I'm not sure that people's jaw would drop about it because I

don't think people really believe it.

And I don't mean that people say, oh, you're lying.

Or oh, the scientists are confused.

I think it is so mysterious that you can't even

understand how amazing it is.

And then, furthermore, you know you've

seen Star Trek and what not, beam me up, Scotty,

so it all seems sort of, oh well, you

know, what does that really mean?

But you've got to really stop and think

about what that means.

That it's the same object and it's in two places at once.

And people think we're in the lab,

and they get angry about things, and they have lunch,

and they go home, and they lead their lives, just as

though nothing utterly astounding

is happening, because, of course,

that's how you have to go about it.

And yet, there's this completely amazing magic sitting right

in front of your eyes.

Quantum physics calculates only possibilities.

But if we accept this, then the question immediately

becomes, who what chooses among these possibilities

to bring the actual event of experience.

So we do exactly immediately see that consciousness

must be involved.

The observer cannot be ignored.

We know what an observer does from a point in view

of quantum physics.

But we don't know who or what the observer actually is.

Doesn't mean we haven't tried to find an answer.

We've looked.

We've gone inside of your head.

We've gone into every orifice you

have to find something called an observer,

and there's nobody home, there's nobody in the brain,

there's nobody in the cortical regions of the brain,

there's nobody in the subcortical regions

or the limbic regions of the brain.

There's nobody there called an observer.

And yet, we all have this experience

of being something called an observer, observing

the world out there.

Is this is the observer and which

is so intricate to understanding the wacky weird world

of quantum particles and how they react?

Is this then the observer?

In my modeling the observer is the spirit

inside the four-layered bio body suit.

And so it's like the ghost in the machine.

It is the consciousness that's driving the vehicle.

And it is observing the surround.

The four layers of the bio body suit

have all kinds of sensory systems

to pick up signatures from the surroundings.

Where the heel are you?

I've got a studio full of people,

but, oh, my God, there's no photographer.

Where, oh, where can she be?

Aliens?

Loch Ness Monster?

A hot date?

In Washington, DC, the so-called murder capital

of the world, there was a big experiment

in the summer of 1993, where 4,000 volunteers

came from 100 countries to collectively meditate

for long periods of time throughout the day.

It was predicted in advance that with such a sized group,

you'd have a 25% drop in violent crime, as defined by the FBI,

in Washington that summer.

Well, the chief of police went on television

saying that, look, it's going to take 2 feet of snow

to reduce crime by 25% in Washington, DC, this summer,

but by the end, the police department

became a collaborator and author of this study,

because the results, in fact, showed

a 25% drop in violent crime in Washington, DC, which

we could predict on the basis of 48 previous studies that

had already been done on a smaller scale.

This leads naturally to wonder,

are people affecting the world or reality that they see?

You betcha they are.

Every single one of us affects the reality that we see,

even if we try to hide from that and play victim,

we all are doing it.

Just tell me where you are.

Good, but hurry, will you please,

because these models are giving me a headache.

10 minute.

[music playing]

The subway exhibit comes to us from Japan and Mr. Masaru

Emoto.

Mr. Emoto became terribly interested

In the molecular structure of water and what effects it.

Now, water is the most receptive of the four elements.

Mr. Emoto thought perhaps it would respond

to non-physical events, so he set up a series of studies,

applied mental stimuli, and photographed it

with a dark-field microscope.

This first picture is a pitcher of water from the Fujiwara Dam.

And this picture is the same water

after receiving a blessing from a Zen Buddhist monk.

Now, in this next series of pictures,

Mr. Emoto printed out words, taped them

to bottles of distilled water, and let them out overnight.

This first photograph is a picture of the pure distilled

water, just the essence of itself.

These subsequent photographs, as you can see,

are each different.

This is the chi of love.

And we move along here to thank you.

And you can see where he taped that to this bottle here.

And if you can read Japanese, you already knew that.

Mr. Emoto speaks of the phosphor intent

being the driving force in all of this.

The science of how that actually affects the molecules

is unknown, except to the water molecules, of course.

And it's really fascinating when you keep in mind

that 90% of our bodies are water.

It makes you, wonder doesn't it?

If thoughts can do that to water,

imagine what our thoughts can do to us.

[music playing]

Absolutely, thought alone can completely change the body.

Most people don't affect reality

in a consistent substantial way, because they

don't believe they can.

They write am intention and then they erase it,

because they think that's silly.

I can't do that.

And then they write it again and then they erase it.

So time average, it's a very small effect.

And it really comes down to the fact

that they believe they can't do it.

If you accept with every rudiment of your being

that you will walk on water, will it happen?

Yes, it will.

But you know, it's like positive thinking.

It's a wonderful idea of positive thinking,

but what it usually means is that I

have a little smear of positive thinking covering

the whole mass of negative thinking.

So thinking positive is not really thinking positive,

it's just disguising the negative thinking that we have.

When you think of things, then you

make the reality more concrete than it is.

And that's where it becomes stuck.

It becomes stuck in the sameness of reality,

because if reality is concrete, obviously, I'm insignificant.

I cannot really change it.

But if reality is my possibility,

possibility of consciousness itself, then, immediately

comes the question of how can I change it, how

can I make it better, how can I make it happier?

You see, how we had extending the image of ourselves?

In the old thinking, I cannot change anything,

because I don't have any roll at all in reality.

Reality is already there.

It's material objects moving in their own way

from deterministic laws, and mathematics determines

what they will do in a given situation.

I, the experience I have no role at all.

In the new view, yes, mathematics can give us

something, it gives us the possibilities that all these

movements can assume, but it cannot give us the actual

experience that I'll be having in my consciousness.

I chose that experience.

And therefore, literally, I create my own reality.

It may sound like a tremendous bombastic claim

by some new agie without any understanding

of physics whatsoever.

But really, quantum physics is telling us that.

[music playing]

Hey, how was the shoot?

[? dumb. ?]

[music playing]

Your boss called.

He's worried about you.

[music playing]

[music stops]

Amanda, I want to thank you for letting me stay here.

I know I'm a bit much sometimes and that it's

been tough after Bob and all.

And you've just been so wonderful.

I mean, I make a mess and, well, I clean up afterwards,

but it's not really your style.

Sometimes I think you make me sane.

Me?

The day I make someone sane, they're in trouble.

Anyway, um, I made you something as a thank you gift.

Open it.

I went through your pictures and picked my favorite ones.

And took me forever, because there are so many good ones.

This, that's for all the wonderful photos

you will be taking.

Ahh.

I've had a strange day.

Thank you.

[music playing]

[indiscernible voices]

What's going on?

Where am I going?

What happens when I die?

Why is there anything at all?

What is reality?

What is reality?

It makes you wonder, doesn't it?

If thoughts would do that to water,

imagine what our thoughts can do to us.

These are [inaudible].

Reality ultimately comes down to our experience.

Have you ever though about what thoughts are made of?

Is there a substance of thought?

I guess, It just depends on what you think is real.

The world being possible timelines of reality.

Until we choose.

Are All realities in quantum physics existing

simultaneously?

[indiscernible voices]

There literally are different worlds in which we live.

It's the microscopic world that we see.

It's the world of our cells, it's

the world of our atoms, the world of our nuclei.

These are each totally different worlds.

They have their own language, they

have their own mathematics.

They're not just small.

Each is totally different.

But they're complimentary, because I am atoms,

but I am also myselves.

I'm also my macroscopic physiology.

It's all true.

They're just different levels of truth.

The deepest level of truth uncovered

by science and my philosophy is the fundamental truth of unity.

At their deepest subnuclear level of our family,

you and I are literally one.

[music playing]

I wake up in the morning and I consciously

create my day the way I want it to happen.

Now,. sometimes, because my mind is examining all the things

that I need to get done, it takes me a little bit to settle

down and get to the point, of where I'm actually

intentionally creating my day.

But here's the thing, when I create my day,

and out of nowhere, little things

happen that are so explainable, I

know that they are the process or the result of my creation,

and the more I do that, the more I build a neuronet in my brain

that I accept that that's possible.

It gives me the power and the incentive

to do it the next day.

[music playing]

In addition, we had a supremely beautiful opportunity

to decipher the difference between our intangibility

of our nobleness of character and the day-to-day business

of how that character is revealed

in a three-dimensional world through our bodies.

[music playing]

I hate weddings!

And what we will learn is that addiction

is the feeling of a chemical rush that

is cascaded through the bodies, through a whole assortment

of glands and ductless glands, and through the spinal fluid,

a feeling that some would call a sexual fantasy.

It only takes one sexual fantasy for a man to have a hard-on.

In other words, it only takes one thought here for a man

to have an erection in his member.

And yet, there was nothing outside of him

that gave him that.

It was what was within him that gave him that.

Oh, oh.

Hey, Amanda.

I didn't know you were there.

Guilty.

A wedding?

Come on.

Think.

This is a good assignment, if you'd see it that way.

What do see?

I do.

[kissing sounds]

They did.

Oh, God, Amanda.

You live in your past.

And everything with you is about what happened.

You hate churches, you hate weddings, you hate guys.

Now, I want you to go scoping out.

Don't need to.

I've got [inaudible].

I know, I took the pictures, remember?

You've got too many memories clouding your vision.

No, Amanda, Amanda, Amanda, you know,

you're the best technical photographer I have.

And I want to have some great pictures.

You know what?

You need a good Polish wedding.

And watch out for those good Catholic boys, huh?

You need the proofs?

Come on, get out of here.

Bye.

When I was younger, I had lots of ideas about what God was.

And now, I realize I'm not conscious enough

to truly understand what that concept means.

That I am at one with the great being

that made me and brought me here,

and that formed the galaxies and the Universe, and et cetera.

How did that get taken out of religion?

It was not hard.

[music playing]

Most of the problems with religion

and various philosophical movements

down through the centuries are produced

have been errors because that's where they started.

That God is a distinct separate being from us

to whom I must offer worship, whom I must cultivate, humor,

please, and hope to attend a reward

from at the very end of my life.

That is not what God is.

That it's a blasphemy.

God it is such a broad thing, some parts of which,

most of the parts of which that are associated with organized

religion is something that I sort of recoil at,

and something that, I think, has done a lot of harm

to the world, done the hard to women, done

the harm to oppressed peoples, done

harm to the World Trade Center.

And yet, at the same point, we have

the epidemy of a great science, the closest science

has ever come to explaining Jesus' interpretation

that the mustard seed was larger than the kingdom of heaven.

And the only science that can fit into that analogy

is quantum physics.

[music playing]

Now, we have, we have great technology

from antigravitry magnets and magnetic fields of zero point

energy, we have all that, and we still

have this ugly superstitious backwater concept of God.

[music playing]

People fall into line very readily

when they're threatened by these cosmic sentences

of everlasting punishment.

But this is not how God is.

And once you start to question the traditional images,

caricatures of God, He will feel you're

an agnostic or an atheist, or a subverter of the social order.

God must be greater than the greatest of human weakness

and, indeed, the greatness of human skill

The God must even transcend, almost

remarkable to emulate nature in its absolute splendor.

How can any man or woman sin against such a greatness of

mind?

How can any one little carbon unit

on Earth in the backwaters of, indeed, the Milky

Way, the boondocks be betray God Almighty?

That is impossible.

The height of arrogance is the height

of control of who create God in their own image.

[music playing]

I now present to you, Mr and Mrs Richard Buck Phillipowski.

[MUSIC MENDELSSOHN, "WEDDING MARCH"]

The brain, when it fires its thoughts.

is likened onto the landscape of a thunder cloud,

and the synaptic cliff is the sky

between the storm and the Earth [inaudible].

And you see this foreboding dark cloud boiling in the sky.

And you see electrical impulses moving through it

in vains of electric light, and then you see it hit the ground.

The brain looks like a thunder storm,

when it is presenting a coherent thought.

So no one has ever seen the thought.

What they do see in neuro physics

is that they see a storm raging around different quadrants

of the brain.

Those are areas that are mapped in the body

and what the person must be responding to,

a holographic image.

Rage, murder, hate, compassion, love.

The brain does not know the difference

between what it sees in this environment

and what it remembers, because the same specific neuron

[inaudible] are then firing.

The brain is made of tiny nerve cells called neurons.

These neurons have tiny branches that

reach out and connect to other neurons to form a neuron bet.

Each place where they connect is integrated

into a thought or a memory.

Now, The brain builds up all its concepts

by the law of associative memory.

For example, ideas, thoughts, and feelings

are all constructed and interconnected

in this neuron net, and all have a possible relationship

with one another.

The concept in the feeling of love, for instance,

is stored in this vast neuronet.

But we build the concept of love from

many other different ideas.

Some people have love connected to disappointment.

When they think about love, they experience the memory

of pain, sorrow, anger, and even rage,

Rage may be lumped at hurt, which

may be lumped with a specific person who

then is connected back to love.

We build up models of how we see the world outside of us.

And the more information that we have,

the more we refine our model one way or another.

And what we ultimately do is tell ourselves

a story about what the outside world is.

Any information that the process, any information

that we take in from the environment

is always colored by the experiences that we've had

and an emotional response that we're

having to what we're bringing in.

Who is in the driver seat when we control our emotions?

Where you're spy into our emotions?

We know physiologically that nerve cells that fire together

wire together.

If you practice something over and over again,

those nerve cells have a long-term relationship.

If you get angry on a daily basis,

if you get frustrated on a daily basis,

if you suffer on a daily basis, if you get reason

for the victimization in your life,

you're rewiring and reintegrating

that neuro net on a daily basis, And that neuro net now

has a long-term relationship with all those other nerve

cells called an identity.

We also know that nerve cells that

don't fire together no longer wire together.

They lose their long-term relationship.

Because every time we interrupt a thought process

that produces a chemical response

in the body, every time we interrupt it,

those nerve cells that are connected

to each other start breaking the long-term relationship.

When we start interrupting and observing,

not by stimulus and response and that automatic reaction

but by observing the effects it takes,

then we are no longer the body-mind conscious, emotional

person that's responding to its environment

as if it is automatic.

[cheering]

Does that mean emotions are good or emotions are bad?

No.

Emotions are designed so that it reinforces chemically something

into long-term memory.

That's why we have them.

All emotion is, is holographically

imprinted chemicals.

The most sophisticated pharmacy in the universe

is in here.

There's a part of the brain called the hypothalamus.

The hypothalamus is like a little mini factory.

And it is a place that assembles certain chemicals that

matches certain emotions that we experience.

Those particular chemicals are called peptides.

They're small-chain amino acid sequences.

The body's basically a carbon unit

that makes about 20 different amino acids all together

to formulate its physical structure.

The body is a protein producing machine.

In the hypothalamus, we take small-chain proteins called

peptides, and we assemble them into certain neural peptides

or neural hormones that match the emotional states that we

experience on a daily basis.

So there's chemicals for anger.

And there's chemicals for sadness.

And there's chemicals for victimization.

There's chemicals for lust.

There's a chemical that matches every emotional state

that we experience.

And the moment that we experience that emotional state

in our body or in our brain, that hypothalamus

will immediately assemble the peptide.

It then releases it through the pituitary into the bloodstream.

The moment it makes it into the bloodstream,

it finds its way to different centers

or different parts of the body.

Now, every single cell in the body

has these receptors on the outside.

And one cell can have thousands of receptors studding

its surface, kind of opening up to the outside world.

And when a peptide docks on a cell,

it literally, like a key going into a lock,

sits on the receptor surface and attaches

to it and kind of moves the receptor, and kind

of like a doorbell buzzing, sends a signal into the cell.

[buzzer]

It's party time.

[MUSIC BOSTON "MORE THAN A FEELING"]

[cheering]

What happens in adulthood is that most of us

who have had our glitches along the way

are operating in an emotionally detached place.

Or we're operating as if today were yesterday.

What is it?

Mixed.

In either the disconnected place

or the overly emotional, reactive place,

because they've gone to an earlier time in reality,

the person is not operating as an integrated whole.

[music "what i like about you"]

Along the outside of the cell are these billions

of receptor sites that are really just

receivers of incoming information.

A receptor that has a peptide sitting in it

changes the cell in many ways.

It sets off a whole cascade of biochemical events,

some of which wind up with changes

in the actual nucleus of a cell.

Ha.

When I grow up, I want to become a photographer just like you.

Oh.

Got any tips?

Take lots of pictures.

Thanks.

Each cell is definitely alive.

And each cell has a consciousness,

particularly if we define consciousness

as the point of view of an observer.

There is always the perspective of the cell.

Two years later.

[interposing voices]

In fact, the cell is the smallest unit

of consciousness in the body.

I'm hungry.

I'm hungry.

[music - "disco inferno"]

Oh, yeah.

We've commandeered an entire serving platter.

[cheering]

[burping]

Well, my definition of an addiction

is something really simple-- something that you can't stop.

Oh, make me supper, please.

We bring to ourselves situations

that will fulfill the biochemical craving

of the cells of our body by creating situations

that meet our chemical needs.

It always happens to me.

Why?

[crying]

An addict will always need a little bit more

in order to get a rush or a high of what

they're looking for chemically.

Don't tell me to calm down.

You're always bossing me around.

So my definition really means that if you can't control

your emotional state, you must be addicted to it.

Oh, I knew this was going to happen.

That's not what we agreed upon.

You're not going to screw me.

Why don't you read the contract, dear.

You won't do anything about it, so I will.

No, no, no, no, ma'am.

Don't dip your half-eaten shrimp back into the cocktail sauce.

Screw you and your health codes.

I am the bride's sister.

I'll stick my ass in the cocktail sauce

if I damn well please.

I want you to get out there and serve and make

sure everybody knows what we have.

[interposing voices]

So how can anyone really say they're

in love with a specific person, for example?

They're only in love with the anticipation of the emotions

they are addicted to.

Because the same person could fall out of

favor the next week by not complying.

My goodness, doesn't that change the landscape

of our emotional outlook on personal needs and identity?

[music - animotion, "obsession"]

Oh, yeah.

Oh, oh.

Amanda.

How can you not fricking see?

No, no, no, no, no.

You got the punchline wrong.

It's a-- it's a photographer's joke.

Go on about your, uh, music.

[MUSIC BAD COMPANY, "CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF YOUR LOVE"]

Are you OK?

Well, I-- I saw that groom humping some girl.

Uh, when?

Just now.

I was with the groom.

Hey, I can read lips.

Uh, I'm sorry.

I was with the groom just now.

He loves Paulette.

Where?

Polacks- they all look the same in a tux.

You're not Polish, are you?

Hi.

Thanks.

This-- this will help.

Oh, thank you.

No problem.

That was in my mouth.

Forget it.

So what's your name?

Elliot.

Hi.

Yeah.

So.

I'm Amanda.

Hey, Amanda.

I should have asked you what your name--

Yeah.

You photograph a lot of weddings?

I hate it.

I'm doing the thing again with my hands.

I'm sorry.

We are emotions.

And emotions are us.

Again, I can't separate emotions.

When you consider that every aspect of your digestion,

every sphincter that opens and closes,

every group of cells that come in from nourishment and then

moves out to heal something or repair something,

those are all under the influence

of the molecules of emotion.

I mean, it's this total buzz.

So you ask if emotions are bad.

Emotions are not bad.

They're life They color the richness of our experience.

It's our addiction that's the problem.

The thing that most people don't realize

is that when they understand that they

are addicted to emotions--

Another drink?

--it's not just psychological.

It's biochemical.

Think about this.

Heroin uses the same receptor mechanisms on the cells

that our emotional chemicals use.

It's easy to see, then, that if we can be addicted to heroin,

then we can be addicted to any neural peptide, any emotion.

To the groom.

To the groom.

What's up, guys?

What's up, man.

Hello.

What do you need?

Some foxes.

Who put out.

Yeah, baby.

The relevant search command that's going on

is related to finding a certain emotional state.

I mean, we can't even direct our eyes

without having an emotional aspect to it.

Oh, gosh.

She wouldn't fall for me.

Oh, mama.

Whoo.

What the hell are you waiting for?

Come on you little pussies

Jeez, I can't believe you guys.

What are you-- come on.

Come on.

Just get the hell out of the way.

Hi there, honey.

Come on, baby.

You know you want it.

Oh, don't give me that look.

What about people who are addicted to sex?

[music - "addicted to love"]

Whoo.

Hello there, big boy.

Mama.

Is there a rocket in your pocket,

or are you just happy to see me?

[laughing]

Whoo.

(SINGING) The lights are on, but you're not home.

Your mind is not your own.

Your heart sweats.

Your body shakes.

Another kiss is what it takes.

You can't sleep.

You can't eat.

There's no doubt you're in deep.

Your throat is tight.

You can't breathe.

Another kiss is all you need.

Whoa, you like to think that you're immune to the stuff.

Oh, yeah.

It's closer to the truth to say you can't get enough.

You know you're gonna have to face it

you're addicted to love.

You see the signs, but you can't read.

Running at a different speed.

Snap out of it.

Over here.

(SINGING)A one-track mind, you can't be saved.

Oblivion is all you crave.

[interposing voices]

(SINGING) You like to think that you're

immune to the stuff.

Oh, yeah.

It's closer to the truth--

[burping]

I want to hear some polka music, OK?

These people want to hear some polka music.

You can't have a Polish wedding without polka music.

(SINGING) Might as well face it, you're addicted to love.

Might as well face it you're--

[record scratching]

Whoa, would you leave it alone.

Keep your [bleep] hands off--

How can you have a Polish wedding

without any [bleep] Polish music?

Keep your [bleep] hands off my equipment. [bleep, bleep]

Like I said before, it ain't a Polish wedding without a polka.

[music - "too fat polka"]

[music aeon spoke, "emmanuel"]

Our mind literally creates our body.

So it all starts in the cell.

The cell is a protein producing machine.

But it gets its signal from the brain.

One of the things about receptors

is they change in their sensitivity.

If a given receptor for a given drug or internal juice

is being bombarded for a long time at a high intensity,

it will literally shrink up.

There will be less of them.

Or it will be hooked up in such a way

that it is desensitized or down-regulated.

So the same amount of drug or internal juice

will elicit a much smaller response.

[thunderclap]

Oh, no.

Help.

[thunderclap]

[screams]

[gunfire]

[explosions]

[screams]

If we're bombarding the cell with the same attitude

and the same chemistry over and over

again on a daily basis, when that cell finally

decides to divide, when it produces

a sister cell or a daughter cell,

that next cell will have more receptor sites

for those particular emotional peptides

and less receptor sites for vitamins, minerals, nutrients,

and fluid exchange, or even the release

of waste products of toxins.

Now, all aging is a result of improper protein production.

What happens when we age?

Our skin loses elasticity.

Well, elastin is a protein.

What happens to our enzymes?

We don't digest as well.

What happens to our synovial fluid?

Those are proteins.

They become brittle and stiff.

What happens to our bones?

They become thin.

So all aging is a result of improper protein production.

So then the question arises, does it really

matter what we eat?

And does nutrition really have an effect

if the cell doesn't even have the receptor

sites, after 20 years of emotional abuse,

to even receive or to let in the nutrients that

are necessary for its health?

OK, guys.

It's time for a course correction

on our trajectory along the path of our adventure.

And that course correction is the movement to a new paradigm.

It's just an expansion of the old.

Just as the universe is larger than we thought

it was in our modeling.

And it's always larger than we think it is.

I hate you.

[sigh] I hate you.

[scream] You idiot.

You suck.

Look at you.

You're fat.

You're ugly.

You are worth nothing.

You're getting old.

I hate you.

It makes you wonder, doesn't it?

If thoughts can do that to water,

imagine what our thoughts can do to us.

No one has ever came along and ever given you

sufficient intelligent knowledge about your beautiful self, how

you work from the inside out.

Why do you have addictions?

Because you have nothing better.

You have dreamt of nothing better because no one has ever

taught you how to dream better.

[laughing]

Do I think that you're bad?

I don't think you're bad.

Do I think you're good I don't think you're good, either.

I think you're God.

In general, the field of psychiatry

really doesn't allow for enough freedom of action

on people's part, meaning an awful lot of problems,

not all of them to be sure, but an awful lot

of problems that get labeled as psychological problems really

amount to people making rotten choices.

And they ought to be instructed to make different ones.

Can I-- wow-- uh, borrow some toothpaste?

Thanks.

When I talk about "we" disappearing,

I don't mean that we physically disappear.

What I mean is that we move out of the area of the brain that

has to do with our personality.

It has to do with our association

to people, our association to places,

our association to things and times and events.

We don't exist in the associative centers

in our brain that reaffirms our identity,

reaffirms our personality.

For the average person in the world

who lives life and considers their life boring

or uninspiring, it's because they've made no attempt

to gain knowledge and information that

will inspire them.

They're so hypnotized by their environment, through the media,

through television, through people living and creating

ideals that everybody struggles to become,

that no one can actually become in terms of physical appearance

and definitions of beauty and valor,

that are all illusions, that most people surrender and live

their life in mediocracy.

And they may live that life, and the soul

may never really-- their desire may never really

rise to the surface so they may want to be something else.

But if it does rise to the surface,

and they ask themselves if there is something more,

or why am I here, what is the purpose of life,

where am I going, what happens when I die?

They start to ask those questions.

They start to flirt and interact with the perception

that they may be having a nervous breakdown.

And in reality, what they're doing

is that their old concepts of how they viewed their life

in the world start to fall apart.

[wind blowing]

We're in completely new territory in our brain.

And because we're in completely new territory,

we're rewiring the brain, literally

reconnecting to a new concept.

Then ultimately, it changes us from the inside out.

If I change my mind, will I change my choices?

If I change my choices, will my life change?

Why can't I change?

What am I addicted to?

What will I lose that I'm chemically attached to?

And what person, place, thing, time, or event

that I'm chemically attached to that I don't want

to lose because I may have to experience

the chemical withdrawal from that?

Hence, the human drama.

(ON ANSWERING MACHINE) Amanda, it's Bob.

And I'm just calling to say I hope that you can come tonight.

I really want to see you.

I-- I really want to talk to you.

I know we can work things out.

What's the only planet in the Milky Way that

has habitation that is steeped in enormous subjugation

of religion?

You know why that is?

It's because people have set up right and wrong.

If I do this, I'm going to get punished by God.

If I do the other thing, I'm going to get rewarded.

This is a really poor description

that tries to map out a path in life for us

to follow, but with deplorable results.

Because there really is no such thing as good or bad.

We're judging things far too superficially that way.

Does that mean you're in favor of sin and licentiousness

and depravity?

No.

It simply means that you need to improve your expression

and understanding of what you're dealing with here.

There are things that I do and I know they'll evolve me.

There are other things that will not evolve me.

But it's not good or bad.

There's no god waiting to punish you

because you did one or the other.

There is no god condemning people.

Everyone is gods.

At the same time, God is this sort

of placeholder name for those parts of our experience

of the world which are somehow transcendent, somehow sublime.

I have no idea what God is.

Yet I have an experience that God is.

There is something very real about this presence called God.

Although I have no idea how to define God.

To see God as a person or a thing, I can't seem to do it.

It's kind of like-- asking a human being to explain what God

is similar to asking a fish to explain

the water in which the fish swims.

God is a superposition of all the spirit from all things.

So you are a god in the making.

And you have to walk this path.

But some day you have to love the abstract

as much as you love the condition of addiction.

The only way that I will ever be great to myself

is not what I do to my body, but what I do to my mind.

So if we're consciously designing our destiny,

and if we're consciously, from the spiritual standpoint,

throwing in with the idea that our thoughts can

affect our reality, affect our life, because reality

equals life, then I have this little pact that I have

when I create my day.

I say, I'm taking this time to create my day.

And I'm infecting the quantum field.

Now, if, in fact, the observer's watching me the whole time

that I'm doing this, and there is a spiritual aspect

to myself, then show me a sign today

that you paid attention to any one of these things

that I created.

And bring them in a way that I won't expect,

so I'm as surprised at my ability

to be able to experience these things.

And make it so that I have no doubt that it's come from you.

The brain is capable of millions of different things

that people just really should learn how incredible they

actually are and how incredible their minds actually are.

And the knowledge that they have this unbelievable thing

within their head that can do so many things for them

and can help us learn and can actually change and adapt,

and it can make us something better than what we actually

are, and can actually help us to transcend ourselves.

That there may be some way that it can actually take us

to a higher level of our existence,

where we can actually understand the world in a deeper

way, where we can understand our relationship to things

and people in a deeper way.

And we can ultimately make more meaning for ourselves

in our world.

We can show that there's a spiritual part of our brain.

But it's a part that we all can have access to.

And it's something that we can all do.

We have to formulate what we want

and be so concentrated on and so focused on it and have so much

of our awareness on it, that we lose track of ourselves.

We lose track of time.

We lose track of our identity.

And the moment we become so involved in that

experience that we lose track of ourselves,

we lose track of time, that picture

is the only picture that's real.

And everybody's had that experience

when they've made up their mind that they've wanted something.

That's quantum physics in action.

That's manifesting reality.

That's the observer in full effect.

Your consciousness influences others around you.

It influences material properties.

It influences your future.

You are co-creating your future.

Show me a sign today that you paid attention

to any one of these things that I've created.

And bring them in a way that I won't expect,

so I'm as surprised at my ability

to be able to experience these things.

And make it so that I have no doubt that it's come from you.

[interposing voices]

Have you ever seen yourself through the eyes

of someone else that you have become?

What an initiation.

Have you ever stopped for a moment

and looked at yourself through the eyes

of the ultimate observer?

I am much more than I think I am.

I can be much more even than that.

I can influence my environment, the people.

I can influence space itself.

I can influence the future.

I am responsible for all those things.

I and the surround are not separate.

They're part of one.

I'm connected to it all.

I'm not alone.

Knowing that there's this interconnectedness

of the universe, that we are all interconnected

and that we are connected to the universe

at its fundamental level, I think

is as good an explanation for spirituality as there this.

It is my belief that our purpose here

is to develop our gifts of intentionality

and learn how to be effective creators.

We are here to be creators.

We are here to infiltrate space with ideas and mansions

of thought.

We are here to make something of this life.

To acknowledge the quantum self,

to acknowledge the place where you really have choice,

to acknowledge mind, when that shift of perspective

takes place, we say that somebody has been enlightened.

Quantum mechanics allows for this intangible phenomenon

of freedom to be woven into human nature.

Quantum physics, very succinctly speaking,

is a physics of possibilities.

It opens fundamentally the question of whose possibilities

and who chooses from theses possibilities

to give us the actual event of experience.

The only answer that is satisfactory,

both logically and meaningfully, is the answer

that consciousness is the ground of all being.

We must pursue knowledge without any interference

of our addictions.

And if we can do that, we will manifest knowledge in reality.

And our bodies will experience it in the ways,

in new chemistry, in new holograms, new elsewheres

of thought beyond our wildest dreams.

All of us one day will reach the level of the avatars

that we have read about in history,

the Buddhas and the Jesus.

Welcome to the kingdom of heaven,

without judgment, without hate, without testing,

without anything.

That we simply are has allowed this reality

we call real, from the power of intangibility,

to pull out of inertness, action, chaos,

and hold it into its from.

And we call it matter.

[bell ringing]

[birds calling]

How can we measure the effects?

We get to live our life and see then

if, somewhere in our lives, something's changed.

And then if it has changed, we become the scientists

to our life.

Which is the whole reason why we're here.

[bell ring]

[horn blowing]

Don't just take it at face value.

Test it out and see whether it's true.

Hey, you're back.

I'm back.

So you never answered my question.

What question?

How far down the rabbit hole do you want to go?

[music playing]

Ponder that for a while.

[music playing]

My name is David Albert.

I got a Ph.D. In theoretical physics.

I studied biochemistry at Rutgers University,

and then went to chiropractic college

at Life University in Atlanta, Georgia.

My postgraduate training is in anatomy and physiology,

neurochemistry, physiology, and genetics.

I studied quantum physics.

I sometimes teach it.

I have written a book on quantum physics and many books

explicating the meaning of quantum physics.

After my Ph.D. from Harvard, I went

to Cern, a European laboratory for particle research,

and then joined faculty at Stanford.

And my work there has been the development of unified quantum

field theories.

I have about 100 publications in this area.

But perhaps I'm best known for the discovery

of supersymmetric flipped SU(5) grand unified field theory.

I make my living as an anesthesiologist.

And every day as I put my patients to sleep,

I kind of wonder where they go and why

they're there in the first place.

And that's one of the reasons that attracted me to anesthesia

and the study of consciousness.

My name is Miceal Ledwith.

And for most of my life, I was a professor of theology.

I'm Dr. Daniel Monti.

I'm a physician with specialty training

in psychiatry and human behavior.

I'm on the full-time faculty at the Jefferson Medical college.

I actually got very interested in studying this whole topic

of the brain and spirituality because it

had to do with a lot of the questions

that I was asking ever since I was a child, about reality

and how we understood truth and what was real.

And as I grew up, and as I realized that,

while spirituality was in some senses

a very important part of trying to find those answers,

science also was a very crucial part.

And I was ultimately looking for some way

of bringing those two forces together.

Well, my name is Candace Pert.

And I'm a professor at Georgetown,

in the medical school.

Here we are actually filming great thinkers.

Everyone in this room is a great thinker,

now that we've got them thinking.

That's always a trick, isn't it?

I should make it clear that I'm

a graduate student in physics.

I'm not a full-fledged theoretical physicist yet.

But if fortune smiles on me and I continue to work like a dog

on my problem sets and exams and whatnot,

eventually what I hope to do with this

is to apply fundamental quantum theory

to quantum information processing.

So I decided, well, if I gave up being department chairman,

and if I gave up all my professional committees,

and I gave up all my government committees,

I would have a block of time that I could put to work.
