[MUSIC PLAYING]
I've got a degree in physics from UC Berkeley,
and I've had a lifelong fascination with the true
nature of reality.
And I actually believe that's probably
what propelled me to have some of the experiences that I had,
which demonstrated that there are sometimes
these remarkable shifts in reality that can occur.
And that what we call quantum jumps
are not just something that happens
on the quantum so-called scale, but they
can happen at any level of physical reality.
I had a fairly normal stretch of time
in my life when I was doing normal research.
I had a job in the banking industry.
When things started changing was around 1994
when I started really noticing remarkable changes in reality.
That was following a Kundalini awakening,
which was a change in my inner energy.
It seemed like just being flooded with so much energy
that it was incredible.
And sometimes seeing so much light,
I felt blinded even with my eyes shut.
There was so much light around me.
During it and then also after, I was noticing that I'd sometimes
be spontaneously aware of things happening in remote locations,
like spontaneous remote viewing or 360-degree vision,
that I could see all the way around me at quite a distance
and outside the walls of the house.
So it was really startling.
And then ever since then, I've had the ability
at times to have exactly the same experience again.
I didn't test it so much by doing those kinds of things
of going to see if what I saw was real,
but my daughters would try to sneak up on me,
and they never could, especially after that.
It was just impossible, because I could see them
before they got to me.
[LAUGHS]
I've had other things happen where if I'm daydreaming,
I've been observed in two locations.
I know I'm in one place where I'm daydreaming,
but I'm observed somewhere else.
So there's a bilocation that can occur.
I'll give you an example.
One morning when my daughters were quite young,
I needed to go wake them up each morning so they'd go to school.
And they were too small to open the curtain in their room.
It was too heavy.
So I would go down the hall, open--
well, I turned the light on, and then I'd walk to the window
and I'd say, good morning, girls.
And I'd open this very heavy curtain that would then go up.
And one morning, it was a cold morning.
I didn't want to get out of bed right away.
And I was still thinking about dreams
and daydreaming a little bit.
And in my mind, I was daydreaming that I walked down
the hall, turned on the light, said,
good morning, girls, opened the curtain.
And I thought, well, wouldn't it be great if it was that easy?
But then I hear noises from their room.
And then they come running around the house,
and they're like, Mom?
Mom?
Where are you?
They said, Mom, what are you doing back in bed?
[LAUGHS] I never got out of bed.
[LAUGHS]
And I said, what?
What do you mean?
You just saw me?
And they said, yes.
I said, where was I?
And they said, in our room.
And now I'm jumping out of bed and I'm running
to go see what happened.
And their light is on, the window curtain is open,
and nobody else could have done that.
It only could have been me.
And I know I didn't, so I experienced that I'm in bed.
They experienced I was there.
So that was what a bilocation felt like.
And for me, daydreaming and just sort of wishing I was there.
The other time it happened, I was
daydreaming and wishing I was somewhere,
and someone saw me there.
So I've done this twice.
And it feels great.
It's just feeling like, ah, I wish I could be there.
And then guess what?
Maybe you are.
So after this experience happened,
I immediately looked up to see what could explain
these kind of experiences.
And I found out that throughout history, people have
had these kinds of experiences.
It's really quite normal.
And it's something that is considered often
something that's typical for a shaman or someone who
is the healer for a community, because people
who have that much energy can help
to be a conduit for changes in reality.
And so that really got my attention
about how you can change reality, or how all of us
do that.
For me, the most interesting thing
that I learned about physics was quantum physics at UC Berkeley.
I loved my classes in that subject matter.
And after my Kundalini awakening,
I came to realize that a lot of the answer to what
is the nature of reality seems to be
held in the mysteries of quantum physics, which, although we can
work out the mathematics and we can solve equations
and we can even build atomic bombs and nuclear power plants,
we don't exactly think the way quantum physics shows us
that the world really operates.
And what's so wonderful and mysterious about the quantum
physics and quantum mechanics is that when
we look to see, what are these building blocks of matter,
we find that at the very center of the very smallest
inseparable, indivisible particle, which
would be like an electron, if you can't
get any smaller than that, then that
qualifies as a quantum particle.
Those little electrons can actually
be observed to be in one place, and then it's like they vanish.
They can change in energy level and show up instantly somewhere
else.
And they do other things also.
They can be connected with one another, entangled.
And when one is affected and its spin is up
and the other one's spin is down, if you observe one,
as soon as you make an observation on one
that's entangled with another, they both
flip at the same time.
These entanglements are now being
tested in laboratory conditions around the world
as people are building quantum computers.
There's been a race, like a gold rush
to see how fast we can find this information
and these new technologies.
So diamonds and large things that you
can observe in your hands are being entangled.
They're showing entanglements that
are holding together at greater and greater distances.
So we can tell obviously throughout the universe
there can be an entanglement with one particle right here
and another particle in an entirely different galaxy,
great distances away.
So there seems to be no limitation on the distance.
When we look at space and time, then we
start recognizing that humans have a unique experience
with space and time.
And what we think is true for everything
may not be true for everything, but may more
be a facet of our humanity and the way
that we are set up to observe reality.
The Mandela effect is a term that
was coined in the year 2010 by a blogger, Fiona Broome.
And she and a bunch of people noticed
that they remembered that the gentleman named
Nelson Mandela from South Africa had died before 2010.
They were all surprised and glad that he was alive, but really
surprised because they remembered clearly
that he had previously died.
So this was the first time that the idea
of a whole bunch of people remembering something
differently really caught hold.
And it became very popular on Reddit, that website,
as well as the Mandela effect website
that Fiona Broome started.
And actually, this is a phenomenon
that I've been tracking since the 1990s.
It's what I would call reality shift.
And that was a term that was coined by PMH Atwater when
she wrote an earlier book that I didn't know about at the time.
So I found that the word reality shift
seemed to explain there are a bunch of people
that notice someone died, and now they're alive again.
I noticed Larry Hagman, and I wrote about him
in my book "Reality Shifts."
He's an actor from the TV show "Dallas."
So I described that lots of people noticed he had died,
and then he was alive again.
It's a phenomenon that's very interesting,
because the closer you are to Larry Hagman or Nelson Mandela,
the less likely you are to notice
that particular individual had died
and then they'd come alive again.
It's more likely to happen when it's someone
that you don't see very often.
You don't really think about them much.
They're on the periphery of your awareness.
They're not the focal point.
They're off to the side.
So you know about them, and then when you hear about it,
it's like, wow.
That's big.
So that was the beginning of this Mandela effect.
It has now exploded in terms of lots of other examples.
Books, movies, you name it, products.
[LAUGHS] All kinds of things.
So when it comes to things like we
notice products changing, that can be confusing,
because of course, first you want to make sure,
was it really some kind of a change?
Did the company make a change?
Once you eliminate that possibility,
then the only thing left is that when
you're the one that noticed the change, unless you
think you're going crazy or getting forgetful.
Usually, this is not the case.
Usually, people that notice these things
are very observant.
They're getting an opportunity to experience
these alternate histories.
And what's happening is one group
of people would notice it like with Nelson Mandela.
The ones who don't live in South Africa like myself and others,
they remember he died when he was incarcerated.
He was still in jail.
And it seemed such a tragedy.
It seemed very sad.
And then there was a big hullabaloo.
There were lots of things going on with his widow
and the government and trying to work things out
with the estate.
Anyway, it's not confabulation, which
is what some people say the Mandela effect is.
They say, well, you're just making this up.
But why would so many people make that up?
As far as how it works, I don't know.
And so I'm not going to just say, like,
oh, I've got a theory that explains everything.
Instead, I am more like a biologist,
back when biologists would travel the world
to see if they could categorize what kind of birds and animals
they're observing.
Just like when Charles Darwin is on the "Beagle," that ship,
and he's traveling across the world,
that's what I've been doing with these reality shift examples.
So I'm still gathering information.
But it's possible that what we're looking at
is something that's similar to a holographic multiverse.
So there's a holographic component
where everything is connected and it's one,
like the pages in a book.
But each page might signify another parallel reality, which
could be side by side by side.
And sometimes you can jump from one page to another.
Where everybody else is, that gets to the question
of consciousness.
And how can each of us hold ideas
that might be from some other reality?
Then we need to start taking a look at what some people might
call are these anomalous experiences.
But to me, I think they're pretty common experiences.
And I think we're seeing more evidence
of this sort of quantum behavior in all of biology,
in all of life.
There are an infinity of possibilities
that at every moment we make a choice, we're looking at that
and feeling that.
And so people who've had near-death experiences
or are lucid dreamers or have had a Kundalini experience,
they're much more keenly aware of this process,
and they can feel when they're in it.
And it's pretty remarkable, because you
can tell that there's a reality that's always been there.
It's not so much that you're creating it or calling it
to you.
It's more that you are recognizing
that the truth of who you are is consciousness.
And as consciousness, you're capable of making that jump
into any reality.
Which sounds incredible, but people
who have come back from being dead
will sometimes report that's exactly what they did.
And that's how they were able to become fully healed when they
were extremely sick before.
Actually, most of us do experience these quantum jumps.
And we don't think much of it when it happens.
Sometimes we are just happy that it happens.
And I'm thinking right now of the example where
if you need to wake up and you have trouble waking up
and you will yourself to get out of bed
on a cold morning, that willpower,
that moment is an example of it.
That doesn't sound very impressive, I know.
And then one that's a little bit more impressive but still not
that impressive-- so it's easy.
These are a little baby step quantum jumps.
[LAUGHS] Another good one that's easy to do is
if you're starting to catch a cold and you can tell yourself,
I can't get sick today--
and I think we've all had that experience where it's like, no.
This is not happening.
I have to stay well today.
And then you notice, after I thought that, I felt fine.
A lot of people have that experience.
And then one that's scientifically
proven in the laboratories right now
is where you know for sure that you did not
get a good night's sleep.
Maybe there was a neighbor fighting or lots
of noise, traffic accidents.
Something going on that was so noisy there's
no way you got a good night's sleep.
It was the worst night's sleep ever.
In the morning, all you need to do
is keep telling yourself over and over
and over again until you start believing it,
I had a wonderful night's sleep last night.
And you just keep repeating that, just
starting to believe it, convince yourself.
Then what's scientifically proven
is that you will behave on all sorts of cognitive tests,
physical tests just the same as if you'd had that good night's
sleep, and you'll feel better.
So these are things that are easy.
On the other extreme--
because I like to look at the entire bandwidth,
the whole breadth and depth of it.
At the other extreme that's going to start sounding crazy,
I've heard from so many people that have instantaneously
been teleported to safety when they've
been in an accident, when their car is about to crash.
They don't know what happened, but somehow they
got thrown clear of the vehicle.
It's as if they went right through it.
Or maybe the oncoming vehicle never hit their car,
but now is on the other side, and there never was an impact,
never was a collision.
This is basically quantum tunneling,
and it's happening with a Mack truck and a car, vehicles
that weigh thousands and thousands of kilograms.
It is extremely heavy.
And so there's no way to explain that.
And these things happen a lot.
There are lots and lots of examples of that,
as well as instantaneous healing of everything
from broken bones, which are not supposed to heal instantly,
to cancer going away.
When we look at what the healers are doing,
they're able to enter a dream with their client
or with a person.
And when I say dream, that's recognizing that all of reality
is like a dream.
And this is what you hear if you study the Upanishads
and some Indian writing.
They'll tell you, reality is a dream.
So when you enter the dream with someone, then you share that.
And you can enter the dream and help the person find that dream
reality where they are healthy.
And that is exactly what healers are able to do,
is to go there with someone.
And then when they come back on that journey--
and it might be with drumming or it might be with chanting.
These are what indigenous peoples the world over
have used as a--
these are ancient technologies that
are very effective at implementing quantum jumps.
I think the reason most people don't
think that these things are happening
or don't think they're observing them is primarily because they
don't believe it's possible.
That's the first thing.
And secondly, there's an open-mindedness issue,
because once you believe, well, it's possible,
then you need to even be even more open-minded so
that those kind of experiences could happen.
You wouldn't think it would make a difference,
but it really does, because our brains and our minds
are set up to observe what we train ourselves to look for.
And if we're not looking for these kinds of quantum jumps,
reality shifts, Mandela effects, then we
don't really notice them.
Or we assume, first of all, that we've made a mistake.
We think, well, maybe I'm misremembering that.
Maybe there's some reason that when I talk about my childhood
with my family, they tell a story
that I know didn't happen, and they seem so convinced it did.
We just dismiss those signs and those pieces of evidence
that would suggest that we're all
experiencing alternate histories,
and that it's quite normal.
So when people assume that we're just going through
like watching a movie on the screen,
and we want the illusion that that movie is flowing evenly,
and it's just as good as real life.
Actually, we're watching frames in a movie flashing.
So it's a lot more like stair steps,
like taking step by step by step by step.
I believe that's also what nature is doing.
And so we'll be able to start seeing more evidence of it
by recognizing that this can and does happen.
And we're seeing things that I would
expect to find such as when scientists have a bias
to begin with to expect a certain result,
that's the result they tend to get.
Some of our Nobel-winning scientists
are noticing that too.
They tend to think that there's some sort of observer bias,
but I'm considering it's a deeper problem, that actually
we can change results just by expecting something different.
And then we can do that on any scale.
I like people who are skeptical about this,
because I think that's good to be skeptical,
to be a good skeptic.
And open-minded but questioning, like, OK.
This doesn't make any sense.
This is not what I learned.
So how can this possibly be true?
And for them, I would suggest looking at placebo studies.
Placebo is a word that means, I shall please.
And in World War II, there were doctors in England
that were running out of medication,
and so they would basically give the soldiers who
were in a great deal of pain an injection with just water
and some salt in it.
So it's just a saline solution.
And they would notice in large numbers of people,
they would feel better.
The doctors wanted to do something.
When they run out of medicine on the front line,
that's a terrible feeling.
So this is why, if you're wondering, well,
that sounds unethical, why would doctors do that, that's why.
And right now in surveys that are conducted
across all of the hospitals in America, a majority of doctors
absolutely will prescribe placebos for their patients,
because sometimes they don't have anything
that they know for sure will work,
and so they say, well, take this.
We think it will help.
And the very fact that that's happening, that there's
this placebo effect, which benefits some 20% to 30%
of the people that take it--
and in fact, that number is going up.
It's been increasing.
So when you look at the placebo effect--
and it's not just sugar pills and salt solution injections.
It's also a placebo surgery, and just sometimes instruction
given from a person to someone taking a test--
you've got this, you're going to do great--
the test score will go up 30%.
So we're typically seeing about a 30% improvement.
Then of people like myself who have
faith in the placebo effect or faith in a greater power,
then you can get results up to 70%.
70%.
And that is so much more than pretty much
any other pharmaceutical can claim.
That's what I invite skeptics to look at and study.
Take a look at what Harvard is doing with their placebo
research center, because skeptics often
want to know, where can I go to look at a university
or someone I can trust to see what kind of results
they're getting?
Someone who's doing real studies.
They're not falsifying results.
They're using a gold standard or a platinum standard with regard
to double-blind studies.
And that would be Harvard, and other universities
doing similar work.
Each of us is basically the center of our universe,
and we do come together so we can feel the consciousness
of others with us.
But we're capable of actually experiencing almost anything
that we totally believe in.
And if people doubt this and they say,
well, that can't be right, because otherwise I
would have won the lottery, and so on and so forth,
that gets into the energy body again and the fact
that we're not totally in our brains,
as much as people wish they were.
We think with our hearts.
We think with our guts.
And when you bring this whole thing together,
then you'll start noticing you've got subconscious
beliefs, and you get subconscious thoughts
that may be much more powerful than anything
you think that you want.
So when you're choosing a reality
that you want to go into, then you're acting as if.
This is something that our American psychologist William
James talked about.
And you can absolutely program it like a GPS exactly,
just knowing that if I was successful,
then I would need to have this done.
I would need to be saying this.
I would need to wear this and have these friends
and do these things.
And so if you start doing all of that,
then you can definitely start moving into that reality.
We can have very confusing beliefs about some things
such as money.
And I wrote a book about that, "High Energy Money,"
to help people understand what those kind of thoughts
might be that could be tripping them up
so they could take a look at the thought and then reverse it.
Usually, if you've got something that's holding you back
like money is evil, you might as well
believe the opposite of that, because it's just
a random belief.
It doesn't mean it's true to just believe
like, oh, money is evil.
So you can flip that one around and say,
money helps us do good things in the world.
Money can be the key to sharing energy with others.
So it's a way of setting yourself
free from judging things in ways that
are more representative of our own shadow side
than what's really so-called out there.
This is a good question.
How does consciousness relate to the material world?
Well, what I've noticed is that consciousness
seems to be preeminent.
It's the dominant thing.
It's always there.
And at least that's my observation,
because I am consciousness.
So that's my human experience.
I don't know what it's like to not be conscious.
But it's one of those things.
How do you define consciousness?
That's important to know what the description of it
is before you start looking at, how
does it interact with matter?
And the truth is, that's still an open question.
So even the experts in the field of consciousness
are arguing about, well, what exactly is it?
Which is not where physicists wanted to go.
They were hoping that physics could be something
that's completely measurable.
The idea of consciousness is not measurable,
and there's no way to predict the presence, absence,
or a change in consciousness in any given experiment.
Yet now with the observer, consciousness
has entered the picture.
Consciousness is more than the neurons.
So when we try to do the neuron mapping like they're doing
and they can map the brain and the networks,
and then supposedly we should know everything, but we don't.
It's more like seeing that you can see the roads,
but you don't know the traffic patterns,
and you don't understand why things
are happening the way they do.
And memories are not stored in a place.
It's not like, oh, there's the neuron that stored that memory.
They move around.
So when we look at the way the brain functions,
it's very disappointing in terms of finding a way
to lock consciousness into matter that has not succeeded.
The reason science cannot prove that consciousness is produced
by the brain is we don't know how to measure consciousness.
And science can only handle what it can predict.
It can only-- which means you have
to be able to measure something.
You have to be able to tell if it's there, if it's changing,
if it's gone.
And if you can't do that-- we still can't
do that with consciousness.
We rely entirely upon asking someone, do you feel conscious?
And we can look at things like, are they awake
or are they asleep?
That kind of thing.
We can look at brainwave states.
We can measure some things, but it doesn't really
get to the heart of the issue.
That's not surprising to people who
have been meditating for centuries like the Tibetan
Buddhists.
They understand consciousness at a different level,
because they're going into it through meditation
and direct experience.
So I think that's more the right way to explore this.
What I'm noticing about material world and consciousness
is that to the degree that we believe
the material world is real-- this is really
important-- we buy into that.
We start thinking, OK.
This is real.
Gravity works.
My world is the way I think it is,
and my assumptions are true.
We're social animals, so we collectively
share consciousness.
And this is a big idea too.
How is consciousness something that sometimes we
feel that we have a collaborative feeling?
Where does this feeling of all of these emotions
like love and these feelings of forgiveness
that we have or gratitude?
These are very powerful emotions.
So when we combine our consciousness with our family,
our friends, our colleagues, and we
don't want to go too far away from what
we know everybody would agree with,
then we're kind of anchored down to a certain level
of what's possible.
We can let go of that when we're in a life-or-death situation
or when we just want to explore consciousness
through something like lucid dreaming or meditation.
Then and only then can you actually make that big jump
to something else.
What's really happening is you're stepping
outside of the situation.
So what always happens when you do
a quantum jump is recognizing that you are consciousness.
What we tend to do is get stuck in believing
we're in a situation, like we have a problem.
That person won't let us do something or something bad
happened, and we think we're in this little world.
And to make a quantum jump, we need to step back.
You need to recognize that you are consciousness
and that you're observing all this.
You have feelings, you have thoughts,
but you're not your thoughts and you're not your feelings.
So it's becoming mindful and then becoming energized.
And then the third step is exactly that.
It's just choose where you want to go next, and accept that
as the dream that you wish to live.
That's the dream you want to come true.
So the most important thing to do
when you are going on the path, this journey of reality
shifting and quantum jumping, I believe
is to become more spiritual, actually.
[LAUGHS] To become a better person.
It's absolutely important to do that, to be more kind.
Because what happens if you don't do
that is you're disregarding some of yourself,
and it's going to pull you off course, absolutely every time.
So even if you're selfish and you think, I just want good--
I want a good life, I want a good material world,
I don't care about spirituality, you can try it that way.
I mean, I don't recommend anybody try it
that way, because things tend to go,
I believe-- and I've seen things go wrong, because what happens
is those parts of ourselves that are subconscious, that
are maybe greedy and so forth, if you haven't
come to a place of acceptance and forgiveness
for yourself and others, you'll be
going through the same cycles of events.
And they're usually not good.
So you need to clean things up.
One way, as we were talking about how to make that quantum
jump, is to step back.
And one way to instantly step back
is to feel an emotion such as gratitude.
Because instantly, then you can feel it.
When you're feeling true gratitude,
it's just this amazing experience for me.
It just feels like I can feel my energy expanding.
I feel more at peace.
The things that have been troubling me seem like they're
not so important.
There's a tremendous change that occurs energetically,
as well as with the focus of my attention, which goes from--
usually being humans, we're looking at, what's wrong?
What's not going right?
What's the thing that's a little bit off right now?
We tend to focus on that.
But instead, by bringing your attention
back to what's really good, what are the blessings?
What are the things that mean the most to us,
that we're grateful for?
Then we get this boost of energy and also a boost of a focus.
It definitely brings us back on track.
And forgiveness does this too.
Some people have trouble with forgiveness,
but if you can do it, that's a good one.
Forgive yourself and forgive others.
Forgiveness can be easier when you recognize
like in "A Course of Miracles" that there's nothing to it,
that everybody is already a pure being of consciousness
and a pure being of light and love,
and that's who we really are.
And we tend to forget that.
So sometimes people have trouble really feeling like, really?
That seems-- that can be a stretch for some people
to go that far.
But if you can do it, it's wonderful,
because the benefit is phenomenal.
Because what happens when we don't forgive,
we don't notice that we're getting
pulled down with these negative feelings of something
went wrong.
And if only that hadn't happened, if only
they didn't do that.
But when you let go of it, it's also very expansive
to go into forgiveness and gratitude and love.
Those are very powerful.
One thing we can do is putting yourself back
into the center of the story, because sometimes we
get caught thinking we're a victim
or we think something has happened to us.
And the way to break free of that,
it's basically a drama triangle, because then it's
just playing games and pretending that you're
wearing the role of victim and someone else is the villain,
and there might be a rescuer.
But when you realize, that doesn't make any sense.
I'm going to retrain my subconscious that I
can do whatever I want to do.
I can be the hero in my own story.
But not the kind of hero where I'm fighting evil.
Just recognizing that I can bring about changes that I
want to see in the world.
I can be that change in the world.
And when you really feel like you're doing what you love,
then you can come fully alive.
And you'll find people that are excited to be
with you, doing that too.
This idea of shifting the Earth with shared intent, with shared
consciousness, and the reason I keep calling it dreaming
is because when we think intention,
we tend to stay in our heads.
When we dream, we dream with our fullness of being.
And in our dreams we can take action,
which we can then feel and give voice to,
and then we can think.
And so that's the way to bring about the biggest changes
that we need to make.
And so sharing a dream is actually
the way to transform the world.
And sharing a positive dream, looking
at how good things can get, which
is a question that I like to leave open-ended
so we don't assume that we know what it is.
And that way, you know that good can prevail,
that good will be there.
And it matches the fact that we live
in such a fine-tuned universe right now,
which is ridiculously unlikely.
So some people say this is proof that God exists, and I
tend to think so too.
I also think that we can definitely see evidence
in that, that we're already winning against whatever
may seem like it's impossible or unsolvable or too
difficult or too evil.
The idea that what resists persists
is really central to this idea of dreaming a new reality.
If you're fighting something, it seems like it gets stronger
or it hangs on--
in America, we have a war on drugs that never seems to end.
We have so many wars, so many conflicts.
And it seems like every time we look around,
there's a new enemy.
But that's not really the way to move forward
in a positive manner.
The way to move forward positively
is to find what you are grateful for, what you love,
and to bring more of that into being.
So it's very obvious, but it's something
that I think we're learning.
And this is part of that global awakening right now.
I believe we do have free will, but then this
comes back to that question of consciousness
and who am I, which is like the ultimate question.
So on some levels, if I factor in the infinite,
eternal part of myself that was here
before I was born, that will be here after I die,
then that part of me has an awareness of what's
going on that to me in my day-to-day life
might feel like I'm living a path of fate or something,
like things are meant to be a certain way.
But we definitely do experience free will every time
we can make a choice and choose.
Like, all these realities exist.
Let's try that one.
Then we can give it a try.
And when it comes to neuroscience,
what scientists are noticing strangely,
it gets back to that question of time,
because we're noticing sometimes that we've
made a decision before we've even
felt the input to our senses, which seems impossible.
But as far as my own experience, I
feel like we do have free will and that it matters.
I think that's the most important thing right now
for us as humans to deal with all the problems on the planet
and to help each other, is to recognize
the level of expansiveness that we can attain
and the way that we can play with these different realities.
And also share consciousness.
As we were talking about healing someone else
and sharing a dream, we can pull each other up
by sharing positive dreams with one another.
And that can be extremely empowering
and can pull us out of things that look impossible.
We don't live in a linear timeline at all.
I think that is one of the biggest things for people
to realize, is that you're able to see what you might call
a miracle in a moment.
Anything could happen.
And to recognize that there's always a possibility
for phenomenal transformation.
And people who have been aware of this--
and even if you're skeptical, you can still get this to work.
So next time you're in a difficult situation--
maybe the car is out of gas or you're stranded
or you have no money or you lost your purse,
or whatever happened, some sort of bad news--
just take a moment.
Relax.
Meditate.
Center yourself.
Breathe.
And then just imagine, well, how good could this get?
And imagine, just like it's a dream,
like you're going into that daydream
and you're going to walk into that reality.
And so many people have had phenomenal success,
doing exactly that.
And I share stories about this in my book
"Quantum Jumps," because it happens to so many people.
Even if you're skeptical, even if you think, well,
that's ridiculous, how could this
possibly work, this is impossible-- the car's
out of gas, my wallet's gone, whatever.
They've told me no, they said they lost
my order, whatever happened.
But if you just imagine, well, what
if there's just some chance that maybe things are OK?
There's a slim chance somehow.
Just believe in it.
Dream it.
And the dreaming is so important, again,
because you're activating the fullness of your being.
The trouble that some people have with intention
is they're just thinking with their heads,
and that doesn't work.
So you have to really get a full embodiment of it,
of all of you.
People who feel like they're absolutely stuck,
they are perfect proof of this process in action.
That's true.
And it's true for all of us, anybody
who is a human right now.
And that's me too, you know?
Nobody's perfect.
We all get to some point where we believe, like,
well, this is too much, or this is too difficult.
But at least I know on some level
that that's not really true.
It's just that I've grown up in a society,
on a world, on a planet where that's been
the prevailing belief so far.
But I believe that that's changing right now,
and more and more people are waking up.
