00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:09,424
[MUSIC PLAYING]
3
00:00:23,820 --> 00:00:26,910
I've got a degree in
physics from UC Berkeley,
4
00:00:26,910 --> 00:00:30,690
and I've had a lifelong
fascination with the true
5
00:00:30,690 --> 00:00:32,530
nature of reality.
6
00:00:32,530 --> 00:00:35,070
And I actually believe
that's probably
7
00:00:35,070 --> 00:00:38,550
what propelled me to have some
of the experiences that I had,
8
00:00:38,550 --> 00:00:41,940
which demonstrated that
there are sometimes
9
00:00:41,940 --> 00:00:45,060
these remarkable shifts
in reality that can occur.
10
00:00:45,060 --> 00:00:47,880
And that what we
call quantum jumps
11
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,830
are not just
something that happens
12
00:00:49,830 --> 00:00:52,380
on the quantum so-called
scale, but they
13
00:00:52,380 --> 00:00:56,400
can happen at any level
of physical reality.
14
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,160
I had a fairly normal
stretch of time
15
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,130
in my life when I was
doing normal research.
16
00:01:02,130 --> 00:01:05,370
I had a job in the
banking industry.
17
00:01:05,370 --> 00:01:09,600
When things started
changing was around 1994
18
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:14,290
when I started really noticing
remarkable changes in reality.
19
00:01:14,290 --> 00:01:17,010
That was following a
Kundalini awakening,
20
00:01:17,010 --> 00:01:20,610
which was a change
in my inner energy.
21
00:01:20,610 --> 00:01:24,210
It seemed like just being
flooded with so much energy
22
00:01:24,210 --> 00:01:25,860
that it was incredible.
23
00:01:25,860 --> 00:01:28,050
And sometimes seeing
so much light,
24
00:01:28,050 --> 00:01:30,630
I felt blinded even
with my eyes shut.
25
00:01:30,630 --> 00:01:33,690
There was so much
light around me.
26
00:01:33,690 --> 00:01:37,470
During it and then also after, I
was noticing that I'd sometimes
27
00:01:37,470 --> 00:01:41,910
be spontaneously aware of things
happening in remote locations,
28
00:01:41,910 --> 00:01:47,190
like spontaneous remote
viewing or 360-degree vision,
29
00:01:47,190 --> 00:01:50,610
that I could see all the way
around me at quite a distance
30
00:01:50,610 --> 00:01:52,590
and outside the
walls of the house.
31
00:01:52,590 --> 00:01:54,810
So it was really startling.
32
00:01:54,810 --> 00:01:58,110
And then ever since then,
I've had the ability
33
00:01:58,110 --> 00:02:02,280
at times to have exactly
the same experience again.
34
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,490
I didn't test it so much by
doing those kinds of things
35
00:02:05,490 --> 00:02:08,070
of going to see if
what I saw was real,
36
00:02:08,070 --> 00:02:10,680
but my daughters would
try to sneak up on me,
37
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,800
and they never could,
especially after that.
38
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,740
It was just impossible,
because I could see them
39
00:02:16,740 --> 00:02:17,810
before they got to me.
40
00:02:17,810 --> 00:02:18,610
[LAUGHS]
41
00:02:18,610 --> 00:02:21,900
I've had other things happen
where if I'm daydreaming,
42
00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:24,750
I've been observed
in two locations.
43
00:02:24,750 --> 00:02:26,850
I know I'm in one place
where I'm daydreaming,
44
00:02:26,850 --> 00:02:28,630
but I'm observed somewhere else.
45
00:02:28,630 --> 00:02:32,010
So there's a bilocation
that can occur.
46
00:02:32,010 --> 00:02:33,570
I'll give you an example.
47
00:02:33,570 --> 00:02:36,760
One morning when my
daughters were quite young,
48
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,560
I needed to go wake them up each
morning so they'd go to school.
49
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,990
And they were too small to
open the curtain in their room.
50
00:02:42,990 --> 00:02:43,980
It was too heavy.
51
00:02:43,980 --> 00:02:45,845
So I would go down
the hall, open--
52
00:02:45,845 --> 00:02:48,840
well, I turned the light on,
and then I'd walk to the window
53
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,820
and I'd say, good
morning, girls.
54
00:02:50,820 --> 00:02:54,360
And I'd open this very heavy
curtain that would then go up.
55
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,408
And one morning, it
was a cold morning.
56
00:02:56,408 --> 00:02:58,200
I didn't want to get
out of bed right away.
57
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:00,270
And I was still
thinking about dreams
58
00:03:00,270 --> 00:03:01,920
and daydreaming a little bit.
59
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:04,200
And in my mind, I was
daydreaming that I walked down
60
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,970
the hall, turned
on the light, said,
61
00:03:05,970 --> 00:03:07,977
good morning, girls,
opened the curtain.
62
00:03:07,977 --> 00:03:10,560
And I thought, well, wouldn't
it be great if it was that easy?
63
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,850
But then I hear noises
from their room.
64
00:03:12,850 --> 00:03:15,043
And then they come
running around the house,
65
00:03:15,043 --> 00:03:15,960
and they're like, Mom?
66
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:16,410
Mom?
67
00:03:16,410 --> 00:03:17,340
Where are you?
68
00:03:17,340 --> 00:03:19,470
They said, Mom, what are
you doing back in bed?
69
00:03:19,470 --> 00:03:21,600
[LAUGHS] I never got out of bed.
70
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:22,452
[LAUGHS]
71
00:03:22,452 --> 00:03:24,300
And I said, what?
72
00:03:24,300 --> 00:03:25,170
What do you mean?
73
00:03:25,170 --> 00:03:26,070
You just saw me?
74
00:03:26,070 --> 00:03:27,060
And they said, yes.
75
00:03:27,060 --> 00:03:28,180
I said, where was I?
76
00:03:28,180 --> 00:03:30,345
And they said, in our room.
77
00:03:30,345 --> 00:03:32,310
And now I'm jumping out
of bed and I'm running
78
00:03:32,310 --> 00:03:33,720
to go see what happened.
79
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,050
And their light is on, the
window curtain is open,
80
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:39,110
and nobody else
could have done that.
81
00:03:39,110 --> 00:03:41,370
It only could have been me.
82
00:03:41,370 --> 00:03:45,150
And I know I didn't, so I
experienced that I'm in bed.
83
00:03:45,150 --> 00:03:46,890
They experienced I was there.
84
00:03:46,890 --> 00:03:49,170
So that was what a
bilocation felt like.
85
00:03:49,170 --> 00:03:52,770
And for me, daydreaming and just
sort of wishing I was there.
86
00:03:52,770 --> 00:03:54,523
The other time it
happened, I was
87
00:03:54,523 --> 00:03:56,190
daydreaming and wishing
I was somewhere,
88
00:03:56,190 --> 00:03:57,780
and someone saw me there.
89
00:03:57,780 --> 00:04:00,330
So I've done this twice.
90
00:04:00,330 --> 00:04:01,493
And it feels great.
91
00:04:01,493 --> 00:04:03,660
It's just feeling like, ah,
I wish I could be there.
92
00:04:03,660 --> 00:04:04,710
And then guess what?
93
00:04:04,710 --> 00:04:05,610
Maybe you are.
94
00:04:05,610 --> 00:04:07,770
So after this
experience happened,
95
00:04:07,770 --> 00:04:11,280
I immediately looked up
to see what could explain
96
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:12,610
these kind of experiences.
97
00:04:12,610 --> 00:04:16,440
And I found out that
throughout history, people have
98
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,040
had these kinds of experiences.
99
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,560
It's really quite normal.
100
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,090
And it's something that
is considered often
101
00:04:24,090 --> 00:04:27,150
something that's typical
for a shaman or someone who
102
00:04:27,150 --> 00:04:30,240
is the healer for a
community, because people
103
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:31,950
who have that much
energy can help
104
00:04:31,950 --> 00:04:35,380
to be a conduit for
changes in reality.
105
00:04:35,380 --> 00:04:37,830
And so that really
got my attention
106
00:04:37,830 --> 00:04:40,960
about how you can change
reality, or how all of us
107
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:41,760
do that.
108
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,410
For me, the most
interesting thing
109
00:04:51,410 --> 00:04:55,280
that I learned about physics was
quantum physics at UC Berkeley.
110
00:04:55,280 --> 00:04:58,670
I loved my classes in
that subject matter.
111
00:04:58,670 --> 00:05:01,460
And after my
Kundalini awakening,
112
00:05:01,460 --> 00:05:05,930
I came to realize that a
lot of the answer to what
113
00:05:05,930 --> 00:05:08,510
is the nature of
reality seems to be
114
00:05:08,510 --> 00:05:12,590
held in the mysteries of quantum
physics, which, although we can
115
00:05:12,590 --> 00:05:15,040
work out the mathematics
and we can solve equations
116
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:19,580
and we can even build atomic
bombs and nuclear power plants,
117
00:05:19,580 --> 00:05:24,980
we don't exactly think the
way quantum physics shows us
118
00:05:24,980 --> 00:05:27,080
that the world really operates.
119
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:31,340
And what's so wonderful and
mysterious about the quantum
120
00:05:31,340 --> 00:05:33,920
physics and quantum
mechanics is that when
121
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:37,490
we look to see, what are these
building blocks of matter,
122
00:05:37,490 --> 00:05:41,150
we find that at the very
center of the very smallest
123
00:05:41,150 --> 00:05:44,120
inseparable, indivisible
particle, which
124
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,730
would be like an
electron, if you can't
125
00:05:46,730 --> 00:05:48,230
get any smaller
than that, then that
126
00:05:48,230 --> 00:05:50,840
qualifies as a quantum particle.
127
00:05:50,840 --> 00:05:52,940
Those little
electrons can actually
128
00:05:52,940 --> 00:05:57,390
be observed to be in one place,
and then it's like they vanish.
129
00:05:57,390 --> 00:06:01,350
They can change in energy level
and show up instantly somewhere
130
00:06:01,350 --> 00:06:02,150
else.
131
00:06:02,150 --> 00:06:03,620
And they do other things also.
132
00:06:03,620 --> 00:06:07,370
They can be connected with
one another, entangled.
133
00:06:07,370 --> 00:06:10,730
And when one is affected
and its spin is up
134
00:06:10,730 --> 00:06:14,990
and the other one's spin is
down, if you observe one,
135
00:06:14,990 --> 00:06:16,730
as soon as you make
an observation on one
136
00:06:16,730 --> 00:06:18,440
that's entangled with
another, they both
137
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:19,910
flip at the same time.
138
00:06:19,910 --> 00:06:21,890
These entanglements
are now being
139
00:06:21,890 --> 00:06:24,560
tested in laboratory
conditions around the world
140
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,200
as people are building
quantum computers.
141
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,020
There's been a race,
like a gold rush
142
00:06:30,020 --> 00:06:33,170
to see how fast we can
find this information
143
00:06:33,170 --> 00:06:34,700
and these new technologies.
144
00:06:34,700 --> 00:06:37,310
So diamonds and
large things that you
145
00:06:37,310 --> 00:06:39,770
can observe in your hands
are being entangled.
146
00:06:39,770 --> 00:06:41,450
They're showing
entanglements that
147
00:06:41,450 --> 00:06:45,390
are holding together at
greater and greater distances.
148
00:06:45,390 --> 00:06:48,530
So we can tell obviously
throughout the universe
149
00:06:48,530 --> 00:06:51,980
there can be an entanglement
with one particle right here
150
00:06:51,980 --> 00:06:55,550
and another particle in an
entirely different galaxy,
151
00:06:55,550 --> 00:06:56,840
great distances away.
152
00:06:56,840 --> 00:07:00,740
So there seems to be no
limitation on the distance.
153
00:07:00,740 --> 00:07:03,350
When we look at space
and time, then we
154
00:07:03,350 --> 00:07:06,410
start recognizing that humans
have a unique experience
155
00:07:06,410 --> 00:07:07,790
with space and time.
156
00:07:07,790 --> 00:07:11,180
And what we think is
true for everything
157
00:07:11,180 --> 00:07:14,090
may not be true for
everything, but may more
158
00:07:14,090 --> 00:07:17,240
be a facet of our
humanity and the way
159
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,655
that we are set up
to observe reality.
160
00:07:26,260 --> 00:07:28,620
The Mandela effect
is a term that
161
00:07:28,620 --> 00:07:33,210
was coined in the year 2010
by a blogger, Fiona Broome.
162
00:07:33,210 --> 00:07:36,060
And she and a bunch
of people noticed
163
00:07:36,060 --> 00:07:39,240
that they remembered
that the gentleman named
164
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:44,010
Nelson Mandela from South
Africa had died before 2010.
165
00:07:44,010 --> 00:07:47,700
They were all surprised and glad
that he was alive, but really
166
00:07:47,700 --> 00:07:50,700
surprised because they
remembered clearly
167
00:07:50,700 --> 00:07:52,950
that he had previously died.
168
00:07:52,950 --> 00:07:56,880
So this was the first
time that the idea
169
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,040
of a whole bunch of people
remembering something
170
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,520
differently really caught hold.
171
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:07,260
And it became very popular
on Reddit, that website,
172
00:08:07,260 --> 00:08:09,600
as well as the
Mandela effect website
173
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,700
that Fiona Broome started.
174
00:08:11,700 --> 00:08:14,040
And actually, this
is a phenomenon
175
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,290
that I've been tracking
since the 1990s.
176
00:08:16,290 --> 00:08:18,600
It's what I would
call reality shift.
177
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,980
And that was a term that was
coined by PMH Atwater when
178
00:08:22,980 --> 00:08:25,750
she wrote an earlier book that
I didn't know about at the time.
179
00:08:25,750 --> 00:08:27,720
So I found that the
word reality shift
180
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,300
seemed to explain there
are a bunch of people
181
00:08:30,300 --> 00:08:33,429
that notice someone died,
and now they're alive again.
182
00:08:33,429 --> 00:08:35,760
I noticed Larry Hagman,
and I wrote about him
183
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,360
in my book "Reality Shifts."
184
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,870
He's an actor from
the TV show "Dallas."
185
00:08:39,870 --> 00:08:43,140
So I described that lots of
people noticed he had died,
186
00:08:43,140 --> 00:08:45,090
and then he was alive again.
187
00:08:45,090 --> 00:08:47,220
It's a phenomenon
that's very interesting,
188
00:08:47,220 --> 00:08:52,260
because the closer you are to
Larry Hagman or Nelson Mandela,
189
00:08:52,260 --> 00:08:54,630
the less likely
you are to notice
190
00:08:54,630 --> 00:08:57,120
that particular
individual had died
191
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,560
and then they'd
come alive again.
192
00:08:58,560 --> 00:09:01,050
It's more likely to
happen when it's someone
193
00:09:01,050 --> 00:09:02,700
that you don't see very often.
194
00:09:02,700 --> 00:09:04,740
You don't really
think about them much.
195
00:09:04,740 --> 00:09:07,290
They're on the periphery
of your awareness.
196
00:09:07,290 --> 00:09:08,940
They're not the focal point.
197
00:09:08,940 --> 00:09:10,080
They're off to the side.
198
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,480
So you know about them, and
then when you hear about it,
199
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:13,110
it's like, wow.
200
00:09:13,110 --> 00:09:13,910
That's big.
201
00:09:13,910 --> 00:09:16,560
So that was the beginning
of this Mandela effect.
202
00:09:16,560 --> 00:09:21,340
It has now exploded in terms
of lots of other examples.
203
00:09:21,340 --> 00:09:23,730
Books, movies, you
name it, products.
204
00:09:23,730 --> 00:09:25,840
[LAUGHS] All kinds of things.
205
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,630
So when it comes
to things like we
206
00:09:27,630 --> 00:09:30,600
notice products changing,
that can be confusing,
207
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,090
because of course, first
you want to make sure,
208
00:09:33,090 --> 00:09:35,260
was it really some
kind of a change?
209
00:09:35,260 --> 00:09:36,870
Did the company make a change?
210
00:09:36,870 --> 00:09:39,120
Once you eliminate
that possibility,
211
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,540
then the only thing
left is that when
212
00:09:42,540 --> 00:09:45,240
you're the one that noticed
the change, unless you
213
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,880
think you're going crazy
or getting forgetful.
214
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,570
Usually, this is not the case.
215
00:09:49,570 --> 00:09:51,270
Usually, people that
notice these things
216
00:09:51,270 --> 00:09:52,380
are very observant.
217
00:09:52,380 --> 00:09:54,480
They're getting an
opportunity to experience
218
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,190
these alternate histories.
219
00:09:56,190 --> 00:09:57,810
And what's happening
is one group
220
00:09:57,810 --> 00:10:00,540
of people would notice it
like with Nelson Mandela.
221
00:10:00,540 --> 00:10:03,900
The ones who don't live in South
Africa like myself and others,
222
00:10:03,900 --> 00:10:06,720
they remember he died
when he was incarcerated.
223
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,040
He was still in jail.
224
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,390
And it seemed such a tragedy.
225
00:10:10,390 --> 00:10:11,730
It seemed very sad.
226
00:10:11,730 --> 00:10:14,940
And then there was
a big hullabaloo.
227
00:10:14,940 --> 00:10:18,060
There were lots of things
going on with his widow
228
00:10:18,060 --> 00:10:21,090
and the government and
trying to work things out
229
00:10:21,090 --> 00:10:22,020
with the estate.
230
00:10:22,020 --> 00:10:24,540
Anyway, it's not
confabulation, which
231
00:10:24,540 --> 00:10:27,120
is what some people say
the Mandela effect is.
232
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,250
They say, well, you're
just making this up.
233
00:10:29,250 --> 00:10:32,230
But why would so many
people make that up?
234
00:10:32,230 --> 00:10:34,780
As far as how it
works, I don't know.
235
00:10:34,780 --> 00:10:36,490
And so I'm not going
to just say, like,
236
00:10:36,490 --> 00:10:38,980
oh, I've got a theory
that explains everything.
237
00:10:38,980 --> 00:10:41,650
Instead, I am more
like a biologist,
238
00:10:41,650 --> 00:10:44,720
back when biologists
would travel the world
239
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,380
to see if they could categorize
what kind of birds and animals
240
00:10:47,380 --> 00:10:48,490
they're observing.
241
00:10:48,490 --> 00:10:52,210
Just like when Charles Darwin
is on the "Beagle," that ship,
242
00:10:52,210 --> 00:10:53,960
and he's traveling
across the world,
243
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,350
that's what I've been doing with
these reality shift examples.
244
00:10:57,350 --> 00:10:59,170
So I'm still
gathering information.
245
00:10:59,170 --> 00:11:02,110
But it's possible that
what we're looking at
246
00:11:02,110 --> 00:11:05,740
is something that's similar
to a holographic multiverse.
247
00:11:05,740 --> 00:11:08,020
So there's a
holographic component
248
00:11:08,020 --> 00:11:10,060
where everything is
connected and it's one,
249
00:11:10,060 --> 00:11:12,350
like the pages in a book.
250
00:11:12,350 --> 00:11:18,310
But each page might signify
another parallel reality, which
251
00:11:18,310 --> 00:11:19,690
could be side by side by side.
252
00:11:19,690 --> 00:11:23,290
And sometimes you can jump
from one page to another.
253
00:11:23,290 --> 00:11:25,870
Where everybody else is,
that gets to the question
254
00:11:25,870 --> 00:11:27,160
of consciousness.
255
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,760
And how can each
of us hold ideas
256
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,470
that might be from
some other reality?
257
00:11:33,470 --> 00:11:36,550
Then we need to start taking a
look at what some people might
258
00:11:36,550 --> 00:11:39,670
call are these
anomalous experiences.
259
00:11:39,670 --> 00:11:42,887
But to me, I think they're
pretty common experiences.
260
00:11:42,887 --> 00:11:44,470
And I think we're
seeing more evidence
261
00:11:44,470 --> 00:11:49,150
of this sort of quantum
behavior in all of biology,
262
00:11:49,150 --> 00:11:51,280
in all of life.
263
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,310
There are an infinity
of possibilities
264
00:11:54,310 --> 00:11:57,370
that at every moment we make a
choice, we're looking at that
265
00:11:57,370 --> 00:11:58,640
and feeling that.
266
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,350
And so people who've had
near-death experiences
267
00:12:02,350 --> 00:12:05,920
or are lucid dreamers or have
had a Kundalini experience,
268
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,860
they're much more keenly
aware of this process,
269
00:12:08,860 --> 00:12:11,950
and they can feel
when they're in it.
270
00:12:11,950 --> 00:12:13,900
And it's pretty
remarkable, because you
271
00:12:13,900 --> 00:12:16,900
can tell that there's a reality
that's always been there.
272
00:12:16,900 --> 00:12:19,150
It's not so much that you're
creating it or calling it
273
00:12:19,150 --> 00:12:20,140
to you.
274
00:12:20,140 --> 00:12:23,020
It's more that you
are recognizing
275
00:12:23,020 --> 00:12:26,140
that the truth of who
you are is consciousness.
276
00:12:26,140 --> 00:12:29,620
And as consciousness, you're
capable of making that jump
277
00:12:29,620 --> 00:12:31,480
into any reality.
278
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,180
Which sounds
incredible, but people
279
00:12:34,180 --> 00:12:36,100
who have come back
from being dead
280
00:12:36,100 --> 00:12:38,570
will sometimes report that's
exactly what they did.
281
00:12:38,570 --> 00:12:42,730
And that's how they were able
to become fully healed when they
282
00:12:42,730 --> 00:12:44,530
were extremely sick before.
283
00:12:49,970 --> 00:12:53,840
Actually, most of us do
experience these quantum jumps.
284
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,210
And we don't think much
of it when it happens.
285
00:12:56,210 --> 00:12:59,270
Sometimes we are just
happy that it happens.
286
00:12:59,270 --> 00:13:02,540
And I'm thinking right
now of the example where
287
00:13:02,540 --> 00:13:05,810
if you need to wake up and
you have trouble waking up
288
00:13:05,810 --> 00:13:07,550
and you will yourself
to get out of bed
289
00:13:07,550 --> 00:13:09,680
on a cold morning,
that willpower,
290
00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:11,810
that moment is an example of it.
291
00:13:11,810 --> 00:13:14,090
That doesn't sound very
impressive, I know.
292
00:13:14,090 --> 00:13:16,970
And then one that's a little bit
more impressive but still not
293
00:13:16,970 --> 00:13:18,540
that impressive-- so it's easy.
294
00:13:18,540 --> 00:13:20,460
These are a little baby
step quantum jumps.
295
00:13:20,460 --> 00:13:23,330
[LAUGHS] Another good
one that's easy to do is
296
00:13:23,330 --> 00:13:26,010
if you're starting to catch a
cold and you can tell yourself,
297
00:13:26,010 --> 00:13:27,780
I can't get sick today--
298
00:13:27,780 --> 00:13:30,470
and I think we've all had that
experience where it's like, no.
299
00:13:30,470 --> 00:13:31,580
This is not happening.
300
00:13:31,580 --> 00:13:33,380
I have to stay well today.
301
00:13:33,380 --> 00:13:36,660
And then you notice, after
I thought that, I felt fine.
302
00:13:36,660 --> 00:13:38,413
A lot of people have
that experience.
303
00:13:38,413 --> 00:13:39,830
And then one that's
scientifically
304
00:13:39,830 --> 00:13:41,840
proven in the
laboratories right now
305
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,940
is where you know for
sure that you did not
306
00:13:43,940 --> 00:13:45,290
get a good night's sleep.
307
00:13:45,290 --> 00:13:48,560
Maybe there was a
neighbor fighting or lots
308
00:13:48,560 --> 00:13:50,087
of noise, traffic accidents.
309
00:13:50,087 --> 00:13:51,920
Something going on that
was so noisy there's
310
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,110
no way you got a
good night's sleep.
311
00:13:54,110 --> 00:13:56,240
It was the worst
night's sleep ever.
312
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:57,770
In the morning,
all you need to do
313
00:13:57,770 --> 00:13:59,780
is keep telling
yourself over and over
314
00:13:59,780 --> 00:14:02,220
and over again until
you start believing it,
315
00:14:02,220 --> 00:14:04,250
I had a wonderful
night's sleep last night.
316
00:14:04,250 --> 00:14:05,990
And you just keep
repeating that, just
317
00:14:05,990 --> 00:14:08,690
starting to believe
it, convince yourself.
318
00:14:08,690 --> 00:14:10,310
Then what's
scientifically proven
319
00:14:10,310 --> 00:14:14,300
is that you will behave on
all sorts of cognitive tests,
320
00:14:14,300 --> 00:14:17,510
physical tests just the same as
if you'd had that good night's
321
00:14:17,510 --> 00:14:19,410
sleep, and you'll feel better.
322
00:14:19,410 --> 00:14:21,070
So these are things
that are easy.
323
00:14:21,070 --> 00:14:22,580
On the other extreme--
324
00:14:22,580 --> 00:14:24,980
because I like to look
at the entire bandwidth,
325
00:14:24,980 --> 00:14:26,870
the whole breadth
and depth of it.
326
00:14:26,870 --> 00:14:29,820
At the other extreme that's
going to start sounding crazy,
327
00:14:29,820 --> 00:14:33,110
I've heard from so many people
that have instantaneously
328
00:14:33,110 --> 00:14:35,240
been teleported to
safety when they've
329
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,082
been in an accident, when
their car is about to crash.
330
00:14:38,082 --> 00:14:40,040
They don't know what
happened, but somehow they
331
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,200
got thrown clear of the vehicle.
332
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,030
It's as if they went
right through it.
333
00:14:44,030 --> 00:14:48,080
Or maybe the oncoming
vehicle never hit their car,
334
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,290
but now is on the other side,
and there never was an impact,
335
00:14:51,290 --> 00:14:52,490
never was a collision.
336
00:14:52,490 --> 00:14:54,530
This is basically
quantum tunneling,
337
00:14:54,530 --> 00:14:58,640
and it's happening with a
Mack truck and a car, vehicles
338
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,310
that weigh thousands and
thousands of kilograms.
339
00:15:01,310 --> 00:15:02,570
It is extremely heavy.
340
00:15:02,570 --> 00:15:04,320
And so there's no
way to explain that.
341
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,030
And these things happen a lot.
342
00:15:06,030 --> 00:15:08,030
There are lots and lots
of examples of that,
343
00:15:08,030 --> 00:15:11,330
as well as instantaneous
healing of everything
344
00:15:11,330 --> 00:15:15,140
from broken bones, which are
not supposed to heal instantly,
345
00:15:15,140 --> 00:15:17,630
to cancer going away.
346
00:15:17,630 --> 00:15:19,940
When we look at what
the healers are doing,
347
00:15:19,940 --> 00:15:23,115
they're able to enter a
dream with their client
348
00:15:23,115 --> 00:15:23,915
or with a person.
349
00:15:23,915 --> 00:15:27,200
And when I say dream, that's
recognizing that all of reality
350
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:28,460
is like a dream.
351
00:15:28,460 --> 00:15:32,030
And this is what you hear
if you study the Upanishads
352
00:15:32,030 --> 00:15:33,500
and some Indian writing.
353
00:15:33,500 --> 00:15:36,430
They'll tell you,
reality is a dream.
354
00:15:36,430 --> 00:15:39,620
So when you enter the dream with
someone, then you share that.
355
00:15:39,620 --> 00:15:44,170
And you can enter the dream and
help the person find that dream
356
00:15:44,170 --> 00:15:46,120
reality where they are healthy.
357
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,570
And that is exactly what
healers are able to do,
358
00:15:49,570 --> 00:15:51,103
is to go there with someone.
359
00:15:51,103 --> 00:15:53,020
And then when they come
back on that journey--
360
00:15:53,020 --> 00:15:55,930
and it might be with drumming
or it might be with chanting.
361
00:15:55,930 --> 00:15:58,510
These are what indigenous
peoples the world over
362
00:15:58,510 --> 00:15:59,680
have used as a--
363
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,020
these are ancient
technologies that
364
00:16:02,020 --> 00:16:06,560
are very effective at
implementing quantum jumps.
365
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,468
I think the reason
most people don't
366
00:16:08,468 --> 00:16:10,010
think that these
things are happening
367
00:16:10,010 --> 00:16:13,400
or don't think they're observing
them is primarily because they
368
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:14,930
don't believe it's possible.
369
00:16:14,930 --> 00:16:16,280
That's the first thing.
370
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,910
And secondly, there's an
open-mindedness issue,
371
00:16:19,910 --> 00:16:22,430
because once you believe,
well, it's possible,
372
00:16:22,430 --> 00:16:25,520
then you need to even be
even more open-minded so
373
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,740
that those kind of
experiences could happen.
374
00:16:27,740 --> 00:16:29,657
You wouldn't think it
would make a difference,
375
00:16:29,657 --> 00:16:32,510
but it really does, because
our brains and our minds
376
00:16:32,510 --> 00:16:36,260
are set up to observe what we
train ourselves to look for.
377
00:16:36,260 --> 00:16:39,770
And if we're not looking for
these kinds of quantum jumps,
378
00:16:39,770 --> 00:16:42,470
reality shifts, Mandela
effects, then we
379
00:16:42,470 --> 00:16:44,000
don't really notice them.
380
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,970
Or we assume, first of all,
that we've made a mistake.
381
00:16:46,970 --> 00:16:50,330
We think, well, maybe
I'm misremembering that.
382
00:16:50,330 --> 00:16:53,420
Maybe there's some reason that
when I talk about my childhood
383
00:16:53,420 --> 00:16:55,460
with my family,
they tell a story
384
00:16:55,460 --> 00:16:59,060
that I know didn't happen, and
they seem so convinced it did.
385
00:16:59,060 --> 00:17:02,270
We just dismiss those signs
and those pieces of evidence
386
00:17:02,270 --> 00:17:03,890
that would suggest
that we're all
387
00:17:03,890 --> 00:17:05,900
experiencing
alternate histories,
388
00:17:05,900 --> 00:17:08,730
and that it's quite normal.
389
00:17:08,730 --> 00:17:11,630
So when people assume that
we're just going through
390
00:17:11,630 --> 00:17:13,430
like watching a
movie on the screen,
391
00:17:13,430 --> 00:17:17,540
and we want the illusion that
that movie is flowing evenly,
392
00:17:17,540 --> 00:17:19,700
and it's just as
good as real life.
393
00:17:19,700 --> 00:17:22,829
Actually, we're watching
frames in a movie flashing.
394
00:17:22,829 --> 00:17:25,520
So it's a lot more
like stair steps,
395
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,590
like taking step by
step by step by step.
396
00:17:28,590 --> 00:17:31,050
I believe that's also
what nature is doing.
397
00:17:31,050 --> 00:17:34,580
And so we'll be able to start
seeing more evidence of it
398
00:17:34,580 --> 00:17:38,030
by recognizing that this
can and does happen.
399
00:17:38,030 --> 00:17:40,220
And we're seeing
things that I would
400
00:17:40,220 --> 00:17:44,600
expect to find such as
when scientists have a bias
401
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,150
to begin with to expect
a certain result,
402
00:17:47,150 --> 00:17:49,490
that's the result
they tend to get.
403
00:17:49,490 --> 00:17:51,500
Some of our
Nobel-winning scientists
404
00:17:51,500 --> 00:17:53,360
are noticing that too.
405
00:17:53,360 --> 00:17:58,400
They tend to think that there's
some sort of observer bias,
406
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,120
but I'm considering it's a
deeper problem, that actually
407
00:18:02,120 --> 00:18:05,730
we can change results just by
expecting something different.
408
00:18:05,730 --> 00:18:07,280
And then we can do
that on any scale.
409
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,870
I like people who are
skeptical about this,
410
00:18:14,870 --> 00:18:18,080
because I think that's
good to be skeptical,
411
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,160
to be a good skeptic.
412
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,650
And open-minded but
questioning, like, OK.
413
00:18:21,650 --> 00:18:23,040
This doesn't make any sense.
414
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:24,350
This is not what I learned.
415
00:18:24,350 --> 00:18:26,760
So how can this
possibly be true?
416
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,950
And for them, I would suggest
looking at placebo studies.
417
00:18:30,950 --> 00:18:33,920
Placebo is a word that
means, I shall please.
418
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,970
And in World War II, there
were doctors in England
419
00:18:37,970 --> 00:18:39,800
that were running
out of medication,
420
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,380
and so they would basically
give the soldiers who
421
00:18:42,380 --> 00:18:45,830
were in a great deal of pain
an injection with just water
422
00:18:45,830 --> 00:18:47,250
and some salt in it.
423
00:18:47,250 --> 00:18:49,520
So it's just a saline solution.
424
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,000
And they would notice in
large numbers of people,
425
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,200
they would feel better.
426
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:55,730
The doctors wanted
to do something.
427
00:18:55,730 --> 00:18:58,160
When they run out of
medicine on the front line,
428
00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,480
that's a terrible feeling.
429
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:01,310
So this is why, if
you're wondering, well,
430
00:19:01,310 --> 00:19:04,580
that sounds unethical, why would
doctors do that, that's why.
431
00:19:04,580 --> 00:19:07,160
And right now in surveys
that are conducted
432
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,000
across all of the hospitals in
America, a majority of doctors
433
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,420
absolutely will prescribe
placebos for their patients,
434
00:19:14,420 --> 00:19:16,940
because sometimes they
don't have anything
435
00:19:16,940 --> 00:19:18,470
that they know for
sure will work,
436
00:19:18,470 --> 00:19:20,580
and so they say,
well, take this.
437
00:19:20,580 --> 00:19:21,890
We think it will help.
438
00:19:21,890 --> 00:19:25,130
And the very fact that that's
happening, that there's
439
00:19:25,130 --> 00:19:30,620
this placebo effect, which
benefits some 20% to 30%
440
00:19:30,620 --> 00:19:32,370
of the people that take it--
441
00:19:32,370 --> 00:19:34,350
and in fact, that
number is going up.
442
00:19:34,350 --> 00:19:35,640
It's been increasing.
443
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,850
So when you look at
the placebo effect--
444
00:19:37,850 --> 00:19:42,200
and it's not just sugar pills
and salt solution injections.
445
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:47,330
It's also a placebo surgery,
and just sometimes instruction
446
00:19:47,330 --> 00:19:49,730
given from a person to
someone taking a test--
447
00:19:49,730 --> 00:19:51,890
you've got this, you're
going to do great--
448
00:19:51,890 --> 00:19:54,420
the test score will go up 30%.
449
00:19:54,420 --> 00:19:56,960
So we're typically seeing
about a 30% improvement.
450
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,300
Then of people like
myself who have
451
00:19:59,300 --> 00:20:03,020
faith in the placebo effect
or faith in a greater power,
452
00:20:03,020 --> 00:20:05,870
then you can get
results up to 70%.
453
00:20:05,870 --> 00:20:06,980
70%.
454
00:20:06,980 --> 00:20:09,920
And that is so much
more than pretty much
455
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,860
any other pharmaceutical
can claim.
456
00:20:12,860 --> 00:20:15,530
That's what I invite skeptics
to look at and study.
457
00:20:15,530 --> 00:20:18,020
Take a look at what Harvard
is doing with their placebo
458
00:20:18,020 --> 00:20:20,660
research center,
because skeptics often
459
00:20:20,660 --> 00:20:24,560
want to know, where can I
go to look at a university
460
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,730
or someone I can trust to
see what kind of results
461
00:20:26,730 --> 00:20:27,530
they're getting?
462
00:20:27,530 --> 00:20:29,570
Someone who's
doing real studies.
463
00:20:29,570 --> 00:20:31,250
They're not falsifying results.
464
00:20:31,250 --> 00:20:36,320
They're using a gold standard or
a platinum standard with regard
465
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,420
to double-blind studies.
466
00:20:38,420 --> 00:20:40,820
And that would be Harvard,
and other universities
467
00:20:40,820 --> 00:20:42,810
doing similar work.
468
00:20:42,810 --> 00:20:46,200
Each of us is basically
the center of our universe,
469
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,800
and we do come together so
we can feel the consciousness
470
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:51,240
of others with us.
471
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,350
But we're capable of actually
experiencing almost anything
472
00:20:55,350 --> 00:20:57,180
that we totally believe in.
473
00:20:57,180 --> 00:20:58,773
And if people doubt
this and they say,
474
00:20:58,773 --> 00:21:00,690
well, that can't be
right, because otherwise I
475
00:21:00,690 --> 00:21:03,210
would have won the lottery,
and so on and so forth,
476
00:21:03,210 --> 00:21:06,030
that gets into the energy
body again and the fact
477
00:21:06,030 --> 00:21:07,860
that we're not
totally in our brains,
478
00:21:07,860 --> 00:21:10,020
as much as people
wish they were.
479
00:21:10,020 --> 00:21:11,220
We think with our hearts.
480
00:21:11,220 --> 00:21:12,510
We think with our guts.
481
00:21:12,510 --> 00:21:14,610
And when you bring this
whole thing together,
482
00:21:14,610 --> 00:21:17,220
then you'll start noticing
you've got subconscious
483
00:21:17,220 --> 00:21:19,380
beliefs, and you get
subconscious thoughts
484
00:21:19,380 --> 00:21:21,840
that may be much more
powerful than anything
485
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,130
you think that you want.
486
00:21:24,130 --> 00:21:25,830
So when you're
choosing a reality
487
00:21:25,830 --> 00:21:29,520
that you want to go into,
then you're acting as if.
488
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,890
This is something that our
American psychologist William
489
00:21:31,890 --> 00:21:32,970
James talked about.
490
00:21:32,970 --> 00:21:37,260
And you can absolutely
program it like a GPS exactly,
491
00:21:37,260 --> 00:21:39,600
just knowing that
if I was successful,
492
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,550
then I would need
to have this done.
493
00:21:41,550 --> 00:21:42,900
I would need to be saying this.
494
00:21:42,900 --> 00:21:44,970
I would need to wear this
and have these friends
495
00:21:44,970 --> 00:21:46,770
and do these things.
496
00:21:46,770 --> 00:21:48,820
And so if you start
doing all of that,
497
00:21:48,820 --> 00:21:54,540
then you can definitely start
moving into that reality.
498
00:21:54,540 --> 00:21:57,750
We can have very confusing
beliefs about some things
499
00:21:57,750 --> 00:21:58,680
such as money.
500
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,770
And I wrote a book about
that, "High Energy Money,"
501
00:22:01,770 --> 00:22:05,130
to help people understand
what those kind of thoughts
502
00:22:05,130 --> 00:22:06,900
might be that could
be tripping them up
503
00:22:06,900 --> 00:22:09,900
so they could take a look at
the thought and then reverse it.
504
00:22:09,900 --> 00:22:12,390
Usually, if you've got something
that's holding you back
505
00:22:12,390 --> 00:22:15,420
like money is evil,
you might as well
506
00:22:15,420 --> 00:22:17,490
believe the opposite of
that, because it's just
507
00:22:17,490 --> 00:22:18,580
a random belief.
508
00:22:18,580 --> 00:22:21,000
It doesn't mean it's
true to just believe
509
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,050
like, oh, money is evil.
510
00:22:22,050 --> 00:22:24,840
So you can flip that
one around and say,
511
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,660
money helps us do good
things in the world.
512
00:22:27,660 --> 00:22:32,585
Money can be the key to
sharing energy with others.
513
00:22:32,585 --> 00:22:33,960
So it's a way of
setting yourself
514
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,860
free from judging
things in ways that
515
00:22:37,860 --> 00:22:40,500
are more representative
of our own shadow side
516
00:22:40,500 --> 00:22:42,660
than what's really
so-called out there.
517
00:22:47,860 --> 00:22:48,860
This is a good question.
518
00:22:48,860 --> 00:22:52,220
How does consciousness
relate to the material world?
519
00:22:52,220 --> 00:22:54,710
Well, what I've noticed
is that consciousness
520
00:22:54,710 --> 00:22:57,290
seems to be preeminent.
521
00:22:57,290 --> 00:22:58,310
It's the dominant thing.
522
00:22:58,310 --> 00:22:59,330
It's always there.
523
00:22:59,330 --> 00:23:01,820
And at least that's
my observation,
524
00:23:01,820 --> 00:23:03,270
because I am consciousness.
525
00:23:03,270 --> 00:23:05,310
So that's my human experience.
526
00:23:05,310 --> 00:23:07,820
I don't know what it's
like to not be conscious.
527
00:23:07,820 --> 00:23:09,667
But it's one of those things.
528
00:23:09,667 --> 00:23:11,000
How do you define consciousness?
529
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,850
That's important to know
what the description of it
530
00:23:13,850 --> 00:23:15,500
is before you start
looking at, how
531
00:23:15,500 --> 00:23:17,420
does it interact with matter?
532
00:23:17,420 --> 00:23:20,450
And the truth is, that's
still an open question.
533
00:23:20,450 --> 00:23:23,450
So even the experts in
the field of consciousness
534
00:23:23,450 --> 00:23:26,490
are arguing about, well,
what exactly is it?
535
00:23:26,490 --> 00:23:29,330
Which is not where
physicists wanted to go.
536
00:23:29,330 --> 00:23:31,820
They were hoping that
physics could be something
537
00:23:31,820 --> 00:23:33,920
that's completely measurable.
538
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,890
The idea of consciousness
is not measurable,
539
00:23:36,890 --> 00:23:39,290
and there's no way to predict
the presence, absence,
540
00:23:39,290 --> 00:23:42,780
or a change in consciousness
in any given experiment.
541
00:23:42,780 --> 00:23:45,410
Yet now with the
observer, consciousness
542
00:23:45,410 --> 00:23:48,050
has entered the picture.
543
00:23:48,050 --> 00:23:50,640
Consciousness is more
than the neurons.
544
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,180
So when we try to do the neuron
mapping like they're doing
545
00:23:53,180 --> 00:23:55,190
and they can map the
brain and the networks,
546
00:23:55,190 --> 00:23:58,925
and then supposedly we should
know everything, but we don't.
547
00:23:58,925 --> 00:24:01,970
It's more like seeing that
you can see the roads,
548
00:24:01,970 --> 00:24:04,040
but you don't know
the traffic patterns,
549
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,780
and you don't
understand why things
550
00:24:05,780 --> 00:24:07,430
are happening the way they do.
551
00:24:07,430 --> 00:24:09,560
And memories are not
stored in a place.
552
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,200
It's not like, oh, there's the
neuron that stored that memory.
553
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,200
They move around.
554
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:15,455
So when we look at the
way the brain functions,
555
00:24:15,455 --> 00:24:18,740
it's very disappointing
in terms of finding a way
556
00:24:18,740 --> 00:24:23,990
to lock consciousness into
matter that has not succeeded.
557
00:24:23,990 --> 00:24:26,930
The reason science cannot prove
that consciousness is produced
558
00:24:26,930 --> 00:24:30,710
by the brain is we don't know
how to measure consciousness.
559
00:24:30,710 --> 00:24:33,290
And science can only
handle what it can predict.
560
00:24:33,290 --> 00:24:35,120
It can only-- which
means you have
561
00:24:35,120 --> 00:24:36,690
to be able to measure something.
562
00:24:36,690 --> 00:24:39,350
You have to be able to tell if
it's there, if it's changing,
563
00:24:39,350 --> 00:24:40,710
if it's gone.
564
00:24:40,710 --> 00:24:42,440
And if you can't do
that-- we still can't
565
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,030
do that with consciousness.
566
00:24:44,030 --> 00:24:48,320
We rely entirely upon asking
someone, do you feel conscious?
567
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:52,250
And we can look at things
like, are they awake
568
00:24:52,250 --> 00:24:53,520
or are they asleep?
569
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:54,320
That kind of thing.
570
00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:55,760
We can look at brainwave states.
571
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,520
We can measure some things,
but it doesn't really
572
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,350
get to the heart of the issue.
573
00:25:00,350 --> 00:25:02,180
That's not surprising
to people who
574
00:25:02,180 --> 00:25:05,390
have been meditating for
centuries like the Tibetan
575
00:25:05,390 --> 00:25:06,380
Buddhists.
576
00:25:06,380 --> 00:25:09,410
They understand consciousness
at a different level,
577
00:25:09,410 --> 00:25:11,480
because they're going
into it through meditation
578
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:13,100
and direct experience.
579
00:25:13,100 --> 00:25:16,700
So I think that's more the
right way to explore this.
580
00:25:16,700 --> 00:25:19,640
What I'm noticing about
material world and consciousness
581
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,820
is that to the degree
that we believe
582
00:25:22,820 --> 00:25:24,770
the material world is
real-- this is really
583
00:25:24,770 --> 00:25:26,420
important-- we buy into that.
584
00:25:26,420 --> 00:25:28,230
We start thinking, OK.
585
00:25:28,230 --> 00:25:29,030
This is real.
586
00:25:29,030 --> 00:25:30,860
Gravity works.
587
00:25:30,860 --> 00:25:32,480
My world is the
way I think it is,
588
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:34,190
and my assumptions are true.
589
00:25:34,190 --> 00:25:37,220
We're social animals,
so we collectively
590
00:25:37,220 --> 00:25:38,730
share consciousness.
591
00:25:38,730 --> 00:25:40,460
And this is a big idea too.
592
00:25:40,460 --> 00:25:42,770
How is consciousness
something that sometimes we
593
00:25:42,770 --> 00:25:45,710
feel that we have a
collaborative feeling?
594
00:25:45,710 --> 00:25:48,740
Where does this feeling
of all of these emotions
595
00:25:48,740 --> 00:25:52,220
like love and these
feelings of forgiveness
596
00:25:52,220 --> 00:25:54,350
that we have or gratitude?
597
00:25:54,350 --> 00:25:57,630
These are very
powerful emotions.
598
00:25:57,630 --> 00:26:00,270
So when we combine our
consciousness with our family,
599
00:26:00,270 --> 00:26:01,790
our friends, our
colleagues, and we
600
00:26:01,790 --> 00:26:04,010
don't want to go too
far away from what
601
00:26:04,010 --> 00:26:06,380
we know everybody
would agree with,
602
00:26:06,380 --> 00:26:08,990
then we're kind of anchored
down to a certain level
603
00:26:08,990 --> 00:26:10,370
of what's possible.
604
00:26:10,370 --> 00:26:15,260
We can let go of that when we're
in a life-or-death situation
605
00:26:15,260 --> 00:26:17,840
or when we just want to
explore consciousness
606
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,630
through something like lucid
dreaming or meditation.
607
00:26:20,630 --> 00:26:23,220
Then and only then can you
actually make that big jump
608
00:26:23,220 --> 00:26:24,020
to something else.
609
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,630
What's really happening
is you're stepping
610
00:26:28,630 --> 00:26:30,110
outside of the situation.
611
00:26:30,110 --> 00:26:32,080
So what always
happens when you do
612
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,110
a quantum jump is recognizing
that you are consciousness.
613
00:26:35,110 --> 00:26:37,360
What we tend to do is
get stuck in believing
614
00:26:37,360 --> 00:26:40,180
we're in a situation,
like we have a problem.
615
00:26:40,180 --> 00:26:42,970
That person won't let us do
something or something bad
616
00:26:42,970 --> 00:26:46,420
happened, and we think
we're in this little world.
617
00:26:46,420 --> 00:26:49,220
And to make a quantum
jump, we need to step back.
618
00:26:49,220 --> 00:26:52,522
You need to recognize
that you are consciousness
619
00:26:52,522 --> 00:26:53,980
and that you're
observing all this.
620
00:26:53,980 --> 00:26:55,522
You have feelings,
you have thoughts,
621
00:26:55,522 --> 00:26:58,080
but you're not your thoughts
and you're not your feelings.
622
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,570
So it's becoming mindful
and then becoming energized.
623
00:27:01,570 --> 00:27:03,560
And then the third
step is exactly that.
624
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,480
It's just choose where you want
to go next, and accept that
625
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,835
as the dream that
you wish to live.
626
00:27:09,835 --> 00:27:13,300
That's the dream you
want to come true.
627
00:27:13,300 --> 00:27:15,100
So the most
important thing to do
628
00:27:15,100 --> 00:27:18,580
when you are going on the
path, this journey of reality
629
00:27:18,580 --> 00:27:20,860
shifting and quantum
jumping, I believe
630
00:27:20,860 --> 00:27:23,800
is to become more
spiritual, actually.
631
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,210
[LAUGHS] To become
a better person.
632
00:27:26,210 --> 00:27:30,340
It's absolutely important
to do that, to be more kind.
633
00:27:30,340 --> 00:27:31,840
Because what happens
if you don't do
634
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,810
that is you're disregarding
some of yourself,
635
00:27:34,810 --> 00:27:38,540
and it's going to pull you off
course, absolutely every time.
636
00:27:38,540 --> 00:27:41,650
So even if you're selfish and
you think, I just want good--
637
00:27:41,650 --> 00:27:44,050
I want a good life, I want
a good material world,
638
00:27:44,050 --> 00:27:46,763
I don't care about spirituality,
you can try it that way.
639
00:27:46,763 --> 00:27:48,430
I mean, I don't
recommend anybody try it
640
00:27:48,430 --> 00:27:50,020
that way, because
things tend to go,
641
00:27:50,020 --> 00:27:53,290
I believe-- and I've seen things
go wrong, because what happens
642
00:27:53,290 --> 00:27:56,500
is those parts of ourselves
that are subconscious, that
643
00:27:56,500 --> 00:27:59,680
are maybe greedy and so
forth, if you haven't
644
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,960
come to a place of
acceptance and forgiveness
645
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,450
for yourself and
others, you'll be
646
00:28:04,450 --> 00:28:06,580
going through the
same cycles of events.
647
00:28:06,580 --> 00:28:08,200
And they're usually not good.
648
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:11,350
So you need to clean things up.
649
00:28:11,350 --> 00:28:14,020
One way, as we were talking
about how to make that quantum
650
00:28:14,020 --> 00:28:15,640
jump, is to step back.
651
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,410
And one way to
instantly step back
652
00:28:17,410 --> 00:28:21,040
is to feel an emotion
such as gratitude.
653
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,890
Because instantly,
then you can feel it.
654
00:28:23,890 --> 00:28:26,270
When you're feeling
true gratitude,
655
00:28:26,270 --> 00:28:28,880
it's just this amazing
experience for me.
656
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,230
It just feels like I can
feel my energy expanding.
657
00:28:32,230 --> 00:28:33,850
I feel more at peace.
658
00:28:33,850 --> 00:28:36,220
The things that have been
troubling me seem like they're
659
00:28:36,220 --> 00:28:37,660
not so important.
660
00:28:37,660 --> 00:28:40,690
There's a tremendous change
that occurs energetically,
661
00:28:40,690 --> 00:28:44,620
as well as with the focus of
my attention, which goes from--
662
00:28:44,620 --> 00:28:47,080
usually being humans, we're
looking at, what's wrong?
663
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,610
What's not going right?
664
00:28:48,610 --> 00:28:50,860
What's the thing that's a
little bit off right now?
665
00:28:50,860 --> 00:28:52,000
We tend to focus on that.
666
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:53,920
But instead, by
bringing your attention
667
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,785
back to what's really good,
what are the blessings?
668
00:28:56,785 --> 00:28:58,660
What are the things that
mean the most to us,
669
00:28:58,660 --> 00:29:00,070
that we're grateful for?
670
00:29:00,070 --> 00:29:05,500
Then we get this boost of energy
and also a boost of a focus.
671
00:29:05,500 --> 00:29:07,345
It definitely brings
us back on track.
672
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:12,270
And forgiveness does this too.
673
00:29:12,270 --> 00:29:14,020
Some people have trouble
with forgiveness,
674
00:29:14,020 --> 00:29:15,750
but if you can do it,
that's a good one.
675
00:29:15,750 --> 00:29:17,790
Forgive yourself
and forgive others.
676
00:29:17,790 --> 00:29:20,353
Forgiveness can be
easier when you recognize
677
00:29:20,353 --> 00:29:22,770
like in "A Course of Miracles"
that there's nothing to it,
678
00:29:22,770 --> 00:29:27,100
that everybody is already a
pure being of consciousness
679
00:29:27,100 --> 00:29:28,830
and a pure being
of light and love,
680
00:29:28,830 --> 00:29:30,690
and that's who we really are.
681
00:29:30,690 --> 00:29:32,320
And we tend to forget that.
682
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:35,730
So sometimes people have trouble
really feeling like, really?
683
00:29:35,730 --> 00:29:38,505
That seems-- that can be
a stretch for some people
684
00:29:38,505 --> 00:29:40,188
to go that far.
685
00:29:40,188 --> 00:29:41,730
But if you can do
it, it's wonderful,
686
00:29:41,730 --> 00:29:45,120
because the benefit
is phenomenal.
687
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:46,950
Because what happens
when we don't forgive,
688
00:29:46,950 --> 00:29:48,570
we don't notice
that we're getting
689
00:29:48,570 --> 00:29:52,000
pulled down with these
negative feelings of something
690
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:52,800
went wrong.
691
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:54,660
And if only that hadn't
happened, if only
692
00:29:54,660 --> 00:29:56,110
they didn't do that.
693
00:29:56,110 --> 00:29:59,550
But when you let go of it,
it's also very expansive
694
00:29:59,550 --> 00:30:03,590
to go into forgiveness
and gratitude and love.
695
00:30:03,590 --> 00:30:06,180
Those are very powerful.
696
00:30:06,180 --> 00:30:08,880
One thing we can do is
putting yourself back
697
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,520
into the center of the
story, because sometimes we
698
00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:13,530
get caught thinking
we're a victim
699
00:30:13,530 --> 00:30:16,020
or we think something
has happened to us.
700
00:30:16,020 --> 00:30:19,290
And the way to
break free of that,
701
00:30:19,290 --> 00:30:22,680
it's basically a drama
triangle, because then it's
702
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,750
just playing games and
pretending that you're
703
00:30:24,750 --> 00:30:27,420
wearing the role of victim and
someone else is the villain,
704
00:30:27,420 --> 00:30:29,400
and there might be a rescuer.
705
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,590
But when you realize, that
doesn't make any sense.
706
00:30:31,590 --> 00:30:35,460
I'm going to retrain
my subconscious that I
707
00:30:35,460 --> 00:30:37,300
can do whatever I want to do.
708
00:30:37,300 --> 00:30:39,910
I can be the hero
in my own story.
709
00:30:39,910 --> 00:30:44,280
But not the kind of hero
where I'm fighting evil.
710
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:48,210
Just recognizing that I can
bring about changes that I
711
00:30:48,210 --> 00:30:49,300
want to see in the world.
712
00:30:49,300 --> 00:30:51,070
I can be that
change in the world.
713
00:30:51,070 --> 00:30:54,130
And when you really feel like
you're doing what you love,
714
00:30:54,130 --> 00:30:55,980
then you can come fully alive.
715
00:30:55,980 --> 00:30:58,110
And you'll find people
that are excited to be
716
00:30:58,110 --> 00:31:01,010
with you, doing that too.
717
00:31:01,010 --> 00:31:05,630
This idea of shifting the Earth
with shared intent, with shared
718
00:31:05,630 --> 00:31:08,600
consciousness, and the reason
I keep calling it dreaming
719
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:10,280
is because when we
think intention,
720
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,170
we tend to stay in our heads.
721
00:31:12,170 --> 00:31:15,170
When we dream, we dream
with our fullness of being.
722
00:31:15,170 --> 00:31:17,550
And in our dreams
we can take action,
723
00:31:17,550 --> 00:31:19,833
which we can then feel
and give voice to,
724
00:31:19,833 --> 00:31:20,750
and then we can think.
725
00:31:20,750 --> 00:31:25,160
And so that's the way to bring
about the biggest changes
726
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:26,220
that we need to make.
727
00:31:26,220 --> 00:31:29,360
And so sharing a
dream is actually
728
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,490
the way to transform the world.
729
00:31:31,490 --> 00:31:34,310
And sharing a positive
dream, looking
730
00:31:34,310 --> 00:31:35,900
at how good things
can get, which
731
00:31:35,900 --> 00:31:38,180
is a question that I
like to leave open-ended
732
00:31:38,180 --> 00:31:40,670
so we don't assume that
we know what it is.
733
00:31:40,670 --> 00:31:44,420
And that way, you know
that good can prevail,
734
00:31:44,420 --> 00:31:46,910
that good will be there.
735
00:31:46,910 --> 00:31:49,310
And it matches the
fact that we live
736
00:31:49,310 --> 00:31:52,380
in such a fine-tuned
universe right now,
737
00:31:52,380 --> 00:31:55,050
which is ridiculously unlikely.
738
00:31:55,050 --> 00:31:58,760
So some people say this is
proof that God exists, and I
739
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:00,130
tend to think so too.
740
00:32:00,130 --> 00:32:03,410
I also think that we can
definitely see evidence
741
00:32:03,410 --> 00:32:06,680
in that, that we're already
winning against whatever
742
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:10,370
may seem like it's impossible
or unsolvable or too
743
00:32:10,370 --> 00:32:12,860
difficult or too evil.
744
00:32:12,860 --> 00:32:15,260
The idea that what
resists persists
745
00:32:15,260 --> 00:32:19,460
is really central to this idea
of dreaming a new reality.
746
00:32:19,460 --> 00:32:22,160
If you're fighting something,
it seems like it gets stronger
747
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:23,520
or it hangs on--
748
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,490
in America, we have a war on
drugs that never seems to end.
749
00:32:26,490 --> 00:32:28,817
We have so many wars,
so many conflicts.
750
00:32:28,817 --> 00:32:30,650
And it seems like every
time we look around,
751
00:32:30,650 --> 00:32:32,360
there's a new enemy.
752
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:34,970
But that's not really
the way to move forward
753
00:32:34,970 --> 00:32:36,650
in a positive manner.
754
00:32:36,650 --> 00:32:38,210
The way to move
forward positively
755
00:32:38,210 --> 00:32:41,390
is to find what you are
grateful for, what you love,
756
00:32:41,390 --> 00:32:44,120
and to bring more
of that into being.
757
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,670
So it's very obvious,
but it's something
758
00:32:46,670 --> 00:32:48,110
that I think we're learning.
759
00:32:48,110 --> 00:32:50,540
And this is part of that
global awakening right now.
760
00:32:54,990 --> 00:32:57,750
I believe we do have
free will, but then this
761
00:32:57,750 --> 00:32:59,640
comes back to that
question of consciousness
762
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,000
and who am I, which is
like the ultimate question.
763
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:07,200
So on some levels, if I
factor in the infinite,
764
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,660
eternal part of
myself that was here
765
00:33:09,660 --> 00:33:13,110
before I was born, that
will be here after I die,
766
00:33:13,110 --> 00:33:15,780
then that part of me has
an awareness of what's
767
00:33:15,780 --> 00:33:18,960
going on that to me
in my day-to-day life
768
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:23,340
might feel like I'm living
a path of fate or something,
769
00:33:23,340 --> 00:33:25,570
like things are meant
to be a certain way.
770
00:33:25,570 --> 00:33:29,130
But we definitely do
experience free will every time
771
00:33:29,130 --> 00:33:31,410
we can make a choice and choose.
772
00:33:31,410 --> 00:33:33,760
Like, all these realities exist.
773
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:34,950
Let's try that one.
774
00:33:34,950 --> 00:33:36,630
Then we can give it a try.
775
00:33:36,630 --> 00:33:38,880
And when it comes
to neuroscience,
776
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,670
what scientists are
noticing strangely,
777
00:33:41,670 --> 00:33:43,650
it gets back to that
question of time,
778
00:33:43,650 --> 00:33:46,590
because we're noticing
sometimes that we've
779
00:33:46,590 --> 00:33:48,960
made a decision
before we've even
780
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,830
felt the input to our senses,
which seems impossible.
781
00:33:52,830 --> 00:33:54,930
But as far as my
own experience, I
782
00:33:54,930 --> 00:33:58,858
feel like we do have free
will and that it matters.
783
00:33:58,858 --> 00:34:00,900
I think that's the most
important thing right now
784
00:34:00,900 --> 00:34:04,210
for us as humans to deal with
all the problems on the planet
785
00:34:04,210 --> 00:34:06,330
and to help each
other, is to recognize
786
00:34:06,330 --> 00:34:08,880
the level of expansiveness
that we can attain
787
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:12,570
and the way that we can play
with these different realities.
788
00:34:12,570 --> 00:34:15,435
And also share consciousness.
789
00:34:15,435 --> 00:34:17,310
As we were talking about
healing someone else
790
00:34:17,310 --> 00:34:20,040
and sharing a dream, we
can pull each other up
791
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:23,170
by sharing positive
dreams with one another.
792
00:34:23,170 --> 00:34:25,260
And that can be
extremely empowering
793
00:34:25,260 --> 00:34:29,639
and can pull us out of
things that look impossible.
794
00:34:29,639 --> 00:34:31,853
We don't live in a
linear timeline at all.
795
00:34:31,853 --> 00:34:34,020
I think that is one of the
biggest things for people
796
00:34:34,020 --> 00:34:38,010
to realize, is that you're
able to see what you might call
797
00:34:38,010 --> 00:34:39,750
a miracle in a moment.
798
00:34:39,750 --> 00:34:41,219
Anything could happen.
799
00:34:41,219 --> 00:34:43,889
And to recognize that
there's always a possibility
800
00:34:43,889 --> 00:34:46,409
for phenomenal transformation.
801
00:34:46,409 --> 00:34:48,820
And people who have
been aware of this--
802
00:34:48,820 --> 00:34:51,580
and even if you're skeptical,
you can still get this to work.
803
00:34:51,580 --> 00:34:54,630
So next time you're in
a difficult situation--
804
00:34:54,630 --> 00:34:56,857
maybe the car is out of
gas or you're stranded
805
00:34:56,857 --> 00:34:58,690
or you have no money
or you lost your purse,
806
00:34:58,690 --> 00:35:01,800
or whatever happened,
some sort of bad news--
807
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:02,800
just take a moment.
808
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:03,600
Relax.
809
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:04,400
Meditate.
810
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:05,280
Center yourself.
811
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:06,690
Breathe.
812
00:35:06,690 --> 00:35:09,690
And then just imagine, well,
how good could this get?
813
00:35:09,690 --> 00:35:12,060
And imagine, just
like it's a dream,
814
00:35:12,060 --> 00:35:13,890
like you're going
into that daydream
815
00:35:13,890 --> 00:35:16,270
and you're going to
walk into that reality.
816
00:35:16,270 --> 00:35:19,350
And so many people have
had phenomenal success,
817
00:35:19,350 --> 00:35:20,760
doing exactly that.
818
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,190
And I share stories
about this in my book
819
00:35:23,190 --> 00:35:26,077
"Quantum Jumps," because it
happens to so many people.
820
00:35:26,077 --> 00:35:28,160
Even if you're skeptical,
even if you think, well,
821
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:29,730
that's ridiculous,
how could this
822
00:35:29,730 --> 00:35:32,130
possibly work, this is
impossible-- the car's
823
00:35:32,130 --> 00:35:34,980
out of gas, my wallet's
gone, whatever.
824
00:35:34,980 --> 00:35:36,720
They've told me no,
they said they lost
825
00:35:36,720 --> 00:35:38,250
my order, whatever happened.
826
00:35:38,250 --> 00:35:40,380
But if you just
imagine, well, what
827
00:35:40,380 --> 00:35:43,950
if there's just some chance
that maybe things are OK?
828
00:35:43,950 --> 00:35:46,020
There's a slim chance somehow.
829
00:35:46,020 --> 00:35:46,840
Just believe in it.
830
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:47,640
Dream it.
831
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,280
And the dreaming is
so important, again,
832
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,440
because you're activating
the fullness of your being.
833
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,440
The trouble that some
people have with intention
834
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:56,850
is they're just thinking
with their heads,
835
00:35:56,850 --> 00:35:58,030
and that doesn't work.
836
00:35:58,030 --> 00:36:00,910
So you have to really get
a full embodiment of it,
837
00:36:00,910 --> 00:36:01,710
of all of you.
838
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:08,450
People who feel like
they're absolutely stuck,
839
00:36:08,450 --> 00:36:11,730
they are perfect proof of
this process in action.
840
00:36:11,730 --> 00:36:12,650
That's true.
841
00:36:12,650 --> 00:36:15,020
And it's true for
all of us, anybody
842
00:36:15,020 --> 00:36:16,310
who is a human right now.
843
00:36:16,310 --> 00:36:17,550
And that's me too, you know?
844
00:36:17,550 --> 00:36:18,880
Nobody's perfect.
845
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,930
We all get to some point
where we believe, like,
846
00:36:20,930 --> 00:36:24,380
well, this is too much,
or this is too difficult.
847
00:36:24,380 --> 00:36:26,480
But at least I
know on some level
848
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,030
that that's not really true.
849
00:36:28,030 --> 00:36:30,080
It's just that I've
grown up in a society,
850
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:32,300
on a world, on a planet
where that's been
851
00:36:32,300 --> 00:36:34,490
the prevailing belief so far.
852
00:36:34,490 --> 00:36:36,795
But I believe that that's
changing right now,
853
00:36:36,795 --> 00:36:38,420
and more and more
people are waking up.
854
00:36:38,420 --> 00:36:42,670
