All language subtitles for 13 Bonus Chapter Transcendental Meditation

[MUSIC PLAYING]

I'm going to do a drawing.

And this drawing is what I call
my "poor man's unified field

chart" to describe what
happens, and how Transcendental

Meditation works.

So I'm going to draw
this one line here.

This line represents
the surface of life--

surface.

We see surfaces, metal and wood.

This side of this
line, we call "matter."

And this side, we'll call
"mind," mind and matter.

They say about 300
or 400 years ago,

these people called
"scientists,"

they wanted to know
what this "matter" was.

What is metal?

What is stone?

What is water?

What is flesh?

What is it really?

So they started
looking into matter.

And they found cells.

And they went a
little bit deeper,

and they found molecules.

Imagined what it was like
for them to find a molecule.

Then they went deeper,
and they found atoms.

For a long time,
they thought the atom

was the smallest particle.

They went deeper and
deeper until they

found what they call the
"elementary particles,"

the smallest particles
in manifestation,

all these subatomic particles
in here-- bosons, hadrons,

whatever all, the quarks.

They found four forces that
act upon these particles, four

forces.

And on a deeper level, they
found that these four forces

became three.

These two, electromagnetism
and the weak force, united.

And on a deeper level, they
found the three became two.

Gravity and the unity
of these things,

rather, grand unification.

In the 1970s, modern
science, quantum physics,

discovered the unified field,
the unity of all the particles

and all the forces
in manifestation.

Unified field, oneness.

And this field is unmanifest--

unmanifest.

There is no manifestation
in this field.

It is a field of no things.

Yet even our scientists say
that everything that is a thing

has emerged from this
field in a process

they say is spontaneous
sequential symmetry-breaking,

implying that this field
is perfect symmetry.

Ancient Vedic science
has always and forever

known about this field.

And they say it is a field
of pure consciousness, self

referral pure consciousness.

Transcendental Meditation
is a mental technique,

an ancient form of meditation
brought back for this time

by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

He didn't make it up.

It's an ancient technique.

And it involves a mantra.

And the mantra is a very
specific sound, vibration,

thought.

And this mantra you're given
in Transcendental Meditation

is like a law of nature
designed for a specific purpose.

And that purpose is to turn the
awareness from out, out, out,

180 degrees to within,
within, within.

Once you're pointed within,
you will naturally and easily

dive through subtler
levels of mind,

and then deeper and subtler
levels of intellect.

And they correspond
to levels of matter.

And at the border of
intellect, you will transcend.

"Transcend" is the keyword.

This represents the whole
field of relativity.

You'll go beyond the
field of relativity,

and experience
non-relative absolute.

This field is eternal.

It is unbounded.

It is infinite.

It is immutable,
and it is immortal.

It's for always and
forever been there.

It never had a beginning.

It's there now, and it
will be there forever.

Everything in the
field of relativity

has a lifespan, some super
short, some not so long,

some long, some extremely long.

But everything within the field
of relativity has a lifespan.

When you transcend and
experience this field,

because this pure
consciousness has qualities--

all positive qualities--

you will experience
unbounded intelligence,

unbounded creativity, unbounded
happiness, unbounded love,

unbounded energy,
unbounded peace.

Unbounded intelligence,
creativity, happiness, love,

energy, and peace
are waiting for us

in the big treasury within
each one of us human beings.

All we need is a
technique to get us there.

In the world out there, there's
many, many forms of meditation.

And all these now have been
tested on the EEG machine

in different forms
of brain research.

And Transcendental
Meditation is the only one

that brings transcending.

You want to
experience this field.

Every time you transcend,
you infuse some of this.

And if you had a ball of
consciousness this big,

you infused some of this,
that ball of consciousness

is going to expand.

In the '70s or '80s, there
were other things called

"consciousness raising groups."

They weren't raising
consciousness.

They were raising information.

This is a way to get
more consciousness.

Every human being has
consciousness, but not

every human being
has the same amount.

The potential for each one
of us glorious human beings

is infinite consciousness,
enlightenment.

It just needs unfolding.

You unfold it by transcending.

You go where it is,
and bring it out.

It makes perfect sense.

And in expanding
this consciousness,

you're making the
subconscious conscious.

In enlightenment,
there is no sub.

It's all consciousness.

And you're dealing
with a full deck.

Right now, everybody enjoys
waking, sleeping, and dreaming.

But there's four states of
consciousness above that,

culminating in what they call
"unity consciousness," which

is supreme enlightenment.

It just needs unfolding.

And this is the way to do it.

This is an area of
all-knowingness.

This is where you know
all that intuition comes

more and more and more,
the more you transcend.

In Transcendental Meditation,
you practice this technique

20 minutes in the morning,
20 minutes in the afternoon.

And then the rest of the time,
you go about your business,

and watch things get better,
and better, and better.

The side effect--
there is a side effect

to expanding consciousness.

And the side effect
is negativity begins

to recede, evaporate, go away.

They say negativity
is just like darkness.

And you say, what is darkness?

And you look at it,
and it's nothing.

It's just the
absence of something.

You can't go down to the
store and buy a dark bulb,

turn it on, and
the room gets dark.

Darkness is the
absence of light.

You wrap up this all-positive,
and automatically, negativity

will go, just like
darkness goes in sunlight

or with an incandescent light,
automatically, without trying.

Things like stress-- this
world is stressed like crazy

these days.

Post-traumatic stress--
so traumatic stress,

it saves the vets suffering
from traumatic stress.

Anxieties, tension, depression,
sorrow, hate, bitter, selfish,

anger, and fear all
start to lift away.

I call it the
"suffocating rubber clown

suit of negativity"
starts to dissolve.

And this rubber clown
suit is so heavy for us.

It kills creativity.

It kills joy of work.

It kills energy.

It makes you sick.

Stress-related illnesses--
stress can kill us.

This stuff starts disappearing,
it dissolves the rubber clown

suit.

No one wants to be
a clown suffering.

Here is a thing
that gets rid of it.

Here is a thing that
brings more intelligence,

see more awareness,
more understanding.

It brings more creativity.

Ideas start flowing more.

It brings happiness
in the doing.

It brings peace,
inner contentment,

and a joy of living.

And it serves the work--

money in the bank, common sense.

This is the way to get
more intuition, more

happiness in your work,
flow of ideas more and more,

a way to solve the problems.

The answers will come the
more consciousness you have.

And that heavy weight
of negativity going away

is such a blessing.

So as part of film
school, you should learn

Transcendental Meditation.

Transcendental Meditation
is a unique form.

If you practice a concentration
form of meditation,

because the mind is
engaged in concentration,

it will keep you near the
surface, near the surface.

Maybe there's some benefit,
but you're not transcending.

Contemplation form
of meditation,

like watching your breathing,
or smelling the roses--

that's a nice thing.

But you're not
going to transcend.

So you want a
thing that gets you

to the treasury,
to this real thing,

and infuse that,
and grow in that.

And you'll never,
ever, ever be sorry.

To start Transcendental
Meditation,

it takes four days, about
an hour and a half each day.

And then you have the technique
for your rest of your life.

You understand how it works.

You know you're
meditating correctly.

Your questions
have been answered.

And you have it.

You need a legitimate teacher
of Transcendental Meditation

as taught by
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

There's other people out
in the world say, oh, I'll

teach you that.

I'll do this and that.

It's not the real thing.

You want a legitimate teacher.

And you can call the TM
centers, and they will confirm

the teacher being legitimate.

And like I said, four days,
about an hour and a half a day,

and then you're rocking.

I wasn't so self-assured.

I was creative, but I
wasn't self-assured.

And in this business
you get steamrolled.

You'll get killed, and
probably in any business.

There's self-assuredness,
and then there's

many of us that work for
the goal of the work, money.

But we don't enjoy the
day to day so much.

And wouldn't it be
great if you could

be happy inside, and enjoy
the doing of almost anything?

You enjoy the doing of things.

You enjoy more and
more being alive.

You see a bigger picture.

I say life becomes more
like a game than a torment.

Energy-- people have
trouble sleeping.

People are tired.

And when you're
tired and stressed,

you do strange things.

Many people in prison are
there because of stress.

And what it does to
the brain, causing

us to do these strange, violent
things that most people regret

almost as soon as
they've done them.

But nonetheless,
they're in prison.

Many, many illnesses are avoided
because of stress leaving.

So then there's
this thing of love.

People start looking better.

They start looking friendlier.

And you see more of
loving all diversity.

It's like start
loving all people.

And it's really,
really beautiful.

And understanding
people more and more,

it causes much less conflict.

Negativity is the
enemy of creativity.

It's common sense.

If someone is
depressed, they say

they don't even feel
like getting out

of bed, let alone working.

If you're sad, or if you're
filled with bitter anger,

that occupies the mind.

Maybe you do angry paintings.

So what?

It's like you'd be doing--

you could do angry paintings
but be happy in the doing.

But they take it out on
everybody around them.

They poison the environment.

They poison themselves.

This anger will kill you.

It's a poison.

They say anger is a
real sign of weakness.

It's a sign of weakness.

They can't even
control themselves.

You start meditating, poof.

I was filled with
anger when I started.

Two weeks later, my
first wife comes to me.

I took it out on her.

I took it out on
her every morning,

and I made her life hell.

Two weeks after I started
meditating, she comes to me,

and says, what's going on?

I say, what are
you talking about?

I say it could've been
any number of things.

And so then she said, this
anger, where did it go?

I didn't even realize
it, but it was true.

She realized it, because I
wasn't giving her trouble.

And it was so beautiful.

I started feeling
better in my body.

I started feeling
more self-assured.

I started getting
happier in the doing.

And I see that ideas flow more.

And it's like the joy of
living increases all the time.

And you're getting more in
tune with Mother Nature,

the laws of Nature.

And these laws of Nature,
sweet Mother Divine

starts actually helping you.

When you get in tune, it's
so beautiful what goes on.

It's a cosmic thing.

And for some
reason, human beings

have lost contact
with this field.

But now, there is a way
to re-establish contact,

and unfold our full
potential, and start

enjoying life, walk away from
suffering and negativity,

and party time.
