whatever way we observe the world around

us

so how can you continue to see the world

as real

if the self that is determining it to be

real

is intangible

[Music]

that's great

[Music]

are all realities existing

simultaneously

[Music]

is there a possibility that all utensils

exist side by side

who are we

where do we come from

what should we do

and where are we going

why are we here well that is the

ultimate question isn't it

what is reality

what I thought was Unreal now for me

seems in some ways to be more real than

what I think to be real which seems now

more to be unreal

you can't explain it and anybody who

gets too lost and try anybody who tried

to spends too much time trying to

explain it is likely to get lost forever

down the rabbit hole of

mysteriousness

[Music]

I think the more you look at quantum

physics the more mysterious and wondrous

it becomes

quantum physics

in very

succinctly speaking

is a physics of possibilities

these are questions these are addressing

questions

um of how the world feels to us of

whether there's a difference between the

way the world feels to us and the way it

really is have you ever thought about

what thoughts are made of

I think some of the things we're seeing

with the children today is a sign that

the culture is in the wrong Paradigm and

not appreciating the power of thought

every age every generation has its

built-in assumptions that the world is

flat but the world is round Etc there

are hundreds of hidden assumptions

things was things we take for granted

that may or may not be true of course in

the vast majority of cases historically

these things aren't true so presumably

if history is any guide much about what

we take it for granted about the world

simply isn't true but we're locked into

these precepts without even knowing it

oftentimes that's a paradigm

modern materialism

strips people of the need to feel

responsible

and often enough so does religion

but I think if you take quantum

mechanics seriously enough it puts the

responsibility squarely in your lap and

it doesn't give answers that are

clear-cut and comforting

it says yes the world is a very big

place it's very mysterious

mechanism is not the answer but I'm not

going to tell you what the answer is

because you're old enough to decide for

yourself

does everyone a mystery

is everyone an enigma

the most certainly are

asking yourself these deeper questions

opens up new ways of being in the world

it brings in a breath of fresh air it

makes life more joyful

the real trick to life is not to be in

the know but be in the mystery

it's time to get wise

[Music]

why do we keep recreating the same

reality

why do we keep having the same

relationships

why do we keep getting the same jobs

over and over again

in this infinite sea of potentials that

exist around us how come we keep

recreating the same realities

isn't it amazing that we have options

and potentials that exist but we're

unaware of them

is it possible that we're so conditioned

to our daily lives so conditioned to the

way we create our lives that we buy the

idea that we have no control at all

you've been conditioned to believe that

the external world is more real than the

internal world this new model of science

is just the opposite it says what's

happening within us will create what's

happening outside of us there's a

physical reality that is absolutely Rock

Solid and yet

it only if you want to put it this way

it only comes into existence when it

bumps up against some other piece of

physical reality that other piece may be

us and of course we're partial to those

moments but it doesn't have to be either

it's you know it could be just some

incidental

uh Rock comes flying along and interacts

with this fuzzy mass of stuff and

sure enough it provokes it into a

particular state of existence and there

were philosophers in the past that said

look if I if I kick a rock and I and I

hurt my toe that's real you know I feel

that it feels real it's Vivid and that

that means that it's reality but it's

still an experience and it's still this

person's perception of it being real

scientific experiments have shown that

if we take a person and uh hook their

brains up to certain pet scans or

computer technology and ask them to

look at a certain object

and they watch certain areas of the

brain light up

and then they've asked them to close

their eyes

and now imagine that same object and

when they imagine that same object It

produced the same areas of the brain to

light up as if they were actually

visually looking at it so it caused

scientists to back up and ask this

question

so who sees them does the brain see

or do the eyes see and what is reality

is reality what we're seeing with our

brain or is reality what we're seeing

with our eyes and the truth is is that

the brain does not know the difference

between what it sees in its environment

and what it remembers because the same

specific neural Nets are then firing so

then it asks the question

what is reality

[Music]

we're bombarded by huge amounts of

information and it's coming into our

body and we're processing it coming in

through our sense organs that's

percolating up and up and in each step

we're eliminating information and

finally what is bubbling up to

Consciousness is the one that's the most

self-serving

the brain process is 400 billion bits of

information a second but we're only

aware of 2 000 of those but our

awareness

of those 2 000 bits of information are

just about the environment our body and

about time

[Music]

we're living in a world where all we see

is the tip of the iceberg

classical tip of an immense quantum

mechanical iceberg

bummer well I'll catch you later

[Music]

if the brain is processing 400 billion

bits of information and in our awareness

is only on 2000

that means reality is happening in the

brain all the time it's receiving that

information and yet we haven't

integrated it

the eyes are like the lens

but the tape that's really seeing is the

back of the brain it's called the visual

cortex it's right back here it's like

this camera and it's tape

did you know that the brain

imprints what it has the ability to see

now this is important

for example

this camera

is seeing a lot more around me

than what is here

because it is has no objection and no

judgment

[Music]

the only

movie that's playing in the brain

is what we have the ability to see

so is it possible our eyes our cameras

seem more

and what our brain has the ability to

consciously project

well the way our brain is wired up we

only see what we believe is possible

we match patterns that already

exist within ourselves through

conditioning

so a wonderful story that I believe is

true is that when the Indians the Native

American Indians on the Caribbean

islands saw Columbus's ships approaching

they couldn't see them at all because

because so

unlike anything they had ever seen

before they couldn't see it when

Columbus's Armada landed in the

Caribbean none of the natives were able

to see the ships even though they

existed on the horizon the reason that

they never saw the ships was because

they had no knowledge in their brains or

no experience that clipper ships existed

so the shaman starts to notice that

there's ripples out in the ocean but he

sees no ship but he starts to wonder

what's causing the effect

so every day he goes out and looks and

looks and looks and after a period of

time he's able to see the ships and once

he sees the ships he tells everybody

else that ships exist out there because

everybody trusted and believed in him

they saw them also

[Music]

thank you

we create reality a reality producing

machines we create the effects of

reality all the time

we always perceive something after

reflection in the mirror of memory

as far as whether or not we're just

living in a big Holodeck or not it's a

question that we don't necessarily have

a good answer to I think this is a big

philosophical problem that we have to

deal with in terms of what science can

say about our world because we are

always the observer in science so we are

still always constrained by what is

ultimately coming into our into the

human brain that allows us to see and

perceive the things that we do so it is

conceivable that all of this really is

just a great illusion that we have no

way of really getting outside of to see

what is really out there your brain

doesn't know the difference between

what's taking place out there and what's

taking place in here there is no out

there out there independent of what's

going on in here

foreign

you okay

I heard you scream earlier was another

dream

you were an Indian

watching Columbus's ship materialize

out of thin air wow

and this medicine man kept hitting you

oh that's hey maybe it was a past life

or a parallel reality or a future life

get weird

or maybe that dream was trying to tell

you the truth I guess it just depends on

what you think is real

maybe you should try different anxiety

pills

thank you

I have to go get dressed

I hope you feel better Amanda

I could be such an

[Music]

there actually are choices in the

direction of how a life can go

that are contingent upon

small level Quantum effects not being

washed out

first of all let's talk about the

subatomic world and then we'll talk

about what it's telling us about reality

the first thing I want to tell you about

the subatomic world is it's totally a

fantasy created by mad physicists trying

to figure out what the heck is going on

when they do these little experiments by

little experiments I mean big energy in

little spaces and little pieces of time

it gets pretty nutty at that realm of

things and so subatomic physics was

invented to try to figure that all out

we need a new science down there it's

called quantum physics and it is subject

to a whole range of debatable hypotheses

thoughts feelings intuitions as to what

the heck is really going on matter is

not what we have long thought yet to be

scientist matter has always been thought

of as sort of the ultimate in that which

is static and predictable

within all the atoms and molecules all

the space within the particles take up

an insignificant amount of the of the

volume of an atom or molecule the

fundamental particles the rest of it is

vacuum what seems to happen is that

particles appear and disappear all the

time so where do they go where they're

not ear

now that question is tricky

I'm going to give you two answers answer

number one

they go into an alternative Universe

where the people in that Universe are

asking the same question about those

particles when they come into our

universe they say where do they go

there's a great mystery called The

Mystery of the direction of time there's

a certain sense in which the fundamental

laws of physics that we have don't make

any interesting distinction say between

past and future for example it's a

puzzle from the standpoint of the

fundamental laws of physics why should

why we should be able to remember the

past

and not have the same kind of epistemic

access to the Future it's a puzzle from

the standpoint of these laws why we

should think something like by acting

now we can affect the future but not the

past

these things that we have a different

kind of epistemic access to the past and

the future we have a different kind of

control by acting now over the future

than we do over the past these things

are so fundamental to the way we

experience the world that

um that it seems to me not to be curious

about them is to be you know three

quarters of the way to being dead

[Music]

you want to shoot some hoops

now you don't have to be like that

I'm on a play

look he likes you don't you have time

for a little one-on-one

how long has it been since you played

come on got the ball

good shot

no no I'm a lady not from there it's not

about gotta be on the court

to be in play

welcome to Duke original Arts Court of

unending possibilities

[Music]

[Music]

corals Gotta Sink the last one the hood

I never touched you really

good and it's not solid

it's Bob

it's mostly empty in fact the universe

is mostly empty

we like to think of space as empty and

matter as solid but in fact there is

essentially nothing to matter whatsoever

it's completely insubstantial

take a look at an atom

we think of it as a kind of hard ball

then we say oh well no not really it's

this little tiny point of really dense

matter right at the center surrounded by

a kind of fluffy probability cloud of

electrons popping in and out of

existence

it turns out that that's not even right

even even the new

so dance pops in and out of existence

just as readily as the electrons do

the most solid thing you can say about

all this insubstantial matter is that

it's more like a thought it's like a

concentrated bit of information

what makes up things are not or more

things but what makes up things are

ideas

Concepts information

[Music]

like I said

it never touches

those electrons build up a charge and

push the other electrons away before

they touch

nobody touches nothing

come on put your stuff down nobody's

gonna take it like I said this is my

core it's no problem

[Music]

how long has it been

oh great it's only in conscious

experience that it seems that we move

forward in time

in quantum theory you can also go

backwards sometimes you can always go

back in time

[Applause]

what's the matter

remember

how do you know they fit

I read Dr Quantum comics

everybody this is just kid stuff and I

know it's real that's how I do my magic

on the chord

yeah

I always choose the Wonder Boy first

he's got the weirding wire well Dr

Cornell says everybody

's doing it

we need to get

kind Hey look it's like a wave when you

are looking it's like a particle when

you're not looking there are waves of

possibility when you are looking then

there are particles of experience

a particle which we think of as a solid

thing really exists in a so-called

superposition the spread out wave of

possible locations and it's in all of

those at once the instant you check on

it it snaps into just one of those

possible positions Quantum superposition

implies that a particle can be in two

places two or more places or States

simultaneously

and this is a very bizarre concept and

one of the Hallmarks of the quantum

world

Heroes choose what they want being in

many places at once experiencing many

possibilities all at once

and then collapsing on the one

question is

how far down the rabbit hole do you want

to go

[Music]

thank you

nice shot

foreign

object being two or more States at the

same time it's very easy instead of

thinking of things as kings we all have

a habit of thinking that everything

around us is already a thing existing

without my input without my choice you

have to banish that kind of thinking

instead you really have to recognize

that even the material world around us

the chairs the tables the rooms the

carpet

camera included all of these are nothing

but possible movements of consciousness

and I am choosing moment to moment out

of those movements to bring my actual

experience into manifestation

this is the only radical thinking that

you need to do but it is so radical it's

so difficult because our tendency is

that the world is already out there

independent of my experience

it is not quantum physics has been so

clear about it Heisenberg himself

co-discovered of quantum physics that

atoms are not things

there are only tendencies

so

instead of thinking of things you have

to think of possibilities

there are all possibilities of

Consciousness you now can see in

numerous labs around the United States

objects that are large enough to be seen

by the naked eye

and they are in two places

simultaneously and you can actually take

a photograph of that

now

suppose if you showed a photograph

they'd say oh great here's this nice

blob of colored light and I see there's

a

you know a bit of it over here another

bit of it so you've got a picture of two

dots what's the big deal

and if so well look but look look right

in the chamber you know you can see it

right there oh I see two things there he

said no no no that's not two things

that's one thing it's the same thing in

two places

I'm not sure that people's

draw a drop about it because

I think I don't think people really

believe it and I don't mean that people

say oh you're lying or oh the scientists

are confused I think it is so mysterious

that you can't even understand how

amazing it is and and then furthermore

you know you've seen Star Trek and

whatnot

beat me up Scotty so it all seems sort

of oh well you know what does that

really mean but you've got to really

stop and think about what that means

that it's the same object and it's in

two places at once and people Tinker in

the lab and they get angry about things

and they have lunch and they go home and

they lead their lives just as though

nothing utterly astounding is happening

because of course that's how you have to

go about it and yet there is this

completely amazing magic sitting right

in front of your eyes

quantum physics calculates only

possibilities

but if we accept this then the question

immediately Comes Who what chooses among

these possibilities to bring the actual

event of experience so we directly

immediately see that Consciousness must

be involved The Observer cannot be

ignored

from a point of view of quantum physics

but we don't know who or what the

Observer actually is

doesn't mean we haven't tried to find an

answer we've looked we've gone inside of

your head we've gone into every office

you have to find something called an

observer and there's nobody home there's

nobody in the brain there's nobody in

the cortical regions of the brain

there's nobody in the subcortical

regions or the limbic regions of the

brain there's nobody there called an

observer and yet we all had this

experience of being something called an

observer observing the world out there

is this the Observer

and which is so intricate

to understanding The Wacky weird world

of quantum particles

and how they react

is this then

The Observer

in my modeling The Observer is the

spirit inside the four-layered biobody

suit

and so it's like the ghost in the

machine

it is the Consciousness that's driving

the vehicle

and it is observing the surround

the four layers of the biobody suit have

all kinds of sensory systems to pick up

signatures from the surround

thank you

update

in Washington DC the so-called murder

capital of the world

there was a big experiment in the summer

of 1993 where 4 000 volunteers came from

a hundred countries to collectively

meditate for long periods of time

throughout the day it was predicted in

advance that with such a sized group

you'd have a 25 drop in violent crime as

defined by the FBI in Washington that

summer well the chief of police went on

television saying that look it's going

to take two feet of snow to reduce crime

by 25 percent in Washington DC this

summer but by the end the police

department became a collaborator and

author of this study because the results

in fact showed a 25 drop in violent

crime in Washington DC which we could

predict on the basis of 48 previous

studies that had already been done on a

smaller scale this leads naturally to

wonder do people are people affecting

the world of reality that they see you

betcha they are every single one of us

affects the reality that we see even if

we try to hide from that and play victim

we all are doing it

please because

10 minutes

foreign

[Music]

became terribly interested in the

molecular structure of water and what

affects it now water is the most

receptive of the four elements

Mr imodo thought perhaps it would

respond to non-physical events so he set

up a series of studies applied mental

stimuli and photographed it with a

dart-field microscope this first picture

is a picture of water from the fujiwara

dam

and this picture is the same water after

receiving a blessing from a Zen Buddhist

monk

[Music]

now in this next series of pictures Mr

imodo printed out words

taped them to bottles of distilled water

and left them out overnight this first

photograph is a picture of the pure

distilled water just the essence of

itself these subsequent photographs as

you can see

are each different this is the chi of

love

and we move along here to thank you and

you can see where he taped that to this

bottle here

but if you read Japanese you already

knew that

oh mystery Moto speaks of the thought or

intent being the driving force in all of

this the science of how that actually

affects the molecules is unknown except

the water molecules of course

[Music]

fascinating when you keep in mind that

ninety percent of our bodies are water

[Music]

doesn't it

if thoughts can do that to water

imagine what our thoughts can do to us

[Music]

absolutely thought alone can completely

change the body most people don't affect

reality in a consistent substantial way

because they don't believe they can

they write an intention

and then they erase it because they

think that's silly I mean I can't do

that

and then they write it again and then

they erase it so time average it's a

very small effect

and it really comes down to the fact

that they believe

they can't do it if you accept with

every rudiment of your being that you

will walk on water will it happen yes it

will

but you know it's uh it's like positive

thinking it's a wonderful idea positive

thinking

but what it usually means is that I have

a little smear of positive thinking

covering a whole mass of negative

thinking

so thinking positive is not really

thinking positive it's just disguising

the negative thinking that we have when

we think of things then we make the

reality more concrete than it is

and that's why we become stuck

we've become stuck in the sameness of

reality because if reality is concrete

obviously I'm insignificant I cannot

really change it but if reality is my

possibility possibility of Consciousness

itself

then immediately comes the question of

how can I change it how can I make it

better how can I make it happier you see

how we are extending the image of

ourselves in the old thinking I cannot

change anything because I don't have any

role at all in reality reality is

already there it's material objects

moving in their own way from

deterministic laws and Mathematics

determines what they will do in a given

situation I the experiencer have no role

at all in the new view

yes mathematics can give us something it

gives us the possibilities that all

these movements

can assume but it cannot give us the

actual experience that I'll be having

in my Consciousness I choose that

experience

and therefore literally I create my own

reality it may sound like a tremendous

bombastic Claim by some new age without

any understanding of physics whatsoever

but really quantum physics is telling us

that

foreign

[Music]

[Music]

Amanda I want to thank you for letting

me stay here

I know I'm a bit much sometimes and that

it's been tough after Bob and all

and um you've just been so wonderful I

mean I make a mess and well I clean up

afterwards but it's not really your

style

sometimes I think human can be same me

the day I'm making someone saying

they're in trouble

anyway

um

I made you something

as a thank you gift

open it

I went through your pictures and picked

my favorite ones and it took me forever

because there's so many good ones

this

that's for all the wonderful photos you

will be taking

oh I've had a strange day

thank you

[Music]

where am I going what happens why is

there anything at all

what's this reality it makes you wonder

doesn't it

foreign

imagine what our thoughts can do to us

please

is there a substance of thought

I guess it just depends on what you

think is real

the world being possible timelines of

reality

until we choose

are all realities in the quantum field

existing simultaneously

addiction is something

that you can't stop there literally are

different worlds in which we live as the

macroscopic world that we see does the

world of ourselves it's a world of our

atoms the world of our nuclei these are

each totally different worlds they have

their own language they have their own

mathematics they're not just smaller

each is totally different but they're

complementary because I am my atoms but

I'm also myself and most of my

macroscopic physiology it's all true

they're just different levels of Truth

the deepest level of Truth uncovered by

science and by philosophy is the

fundamental truth of unity at that

deepest sub-nuclear level of our reality

you and I are literally one one

[Music]

foreign

I wake up in the morning and I

consciously create my day the way I want

it to happen

now sometimes

because my mind is examining all the

things that I need to get done it takes

me a little bit to settle down and get

to the point of where I'm actually

intentionally creating my day

but here's the thing when I create my

day

and out of nowhere

little things happen

that are so unexplainable

I know that they are the process or the

result of my creation and the more I do

that the more I build a neural net in my

brain that I accept that that's possible

gives me the power and the incentive to

do it the next day

in addiction we have a supreme beautiful

opportunity to decipher the difference

between uh intangibility of our

nobleness of character

and the day-to-day business of how that

character is revealed in a

three-dimensional world through our

bodies

[Music]

[Music]

I hate weddings

and what we will learn is that addiction

is the feeling of a chemical Rush

that is cascaded through the bodies

through a whole sortment of glands and

ductless glands and through the spinal

fluid

feeling that some would call

a sexual fantasy

it only takes one sexual fantasy for a

man to have a hard on in other words it

only takes one thought here for a man to

have an erection in his member

and yet there was nothing outside of him

that gave him that

it was what was within him that gave him

that

[Music]

oh

hey man I didn't know you were there

guilty

a wedding

come on

this is a good assignment if you'd see

it that way you have to see I do

they did oh God Amanda I mean you live

in your past and everything with you is

about what happened you hate churches

you hate weddings you hate guys

and I want you to go scope it out

don't need to I got milk there

I know I took the pictures remember

you got too many memories clouding your

vision

um

and I want to have some great pictures

you know what you need a good polish

wedding and watch out for those good

Catholic boys huh you meet the prince

come on get out of here bye

when I was younger I had lots of ideas

about what God was

and now I realize I'm not conscious

enough to

truly understand what that concept means

that I am at one with the great being

that made me and brought me here and

that formed the galaxies in the

universes Etc

how did that get taken out of religion

it was not hard

foreign

most of the problems that religion and

various philosophical movements down

through the centuries have produced have

been errors because that's where they

started but God is a distinct separate

being from us to whom I must offer

worship whom I must cultivate humor

please and hope to attain a reward from

at the very end of my life that is not

what God is that is a blasphemy God is

such a broad thing some parts of which

most of the parts of which that are

associated with organized religion is

something that I sort of recoil at and

something that I think has done a lot of

harm to the world done harm to women

done harm to oppressed peoples done harm

to the World Trade Center

and yet at the same point

we have the epitome of a great science

the closest science

has ever come to explaining Jesus's

interpetition that the Mustard Seed was

larger than the Kingdom of Heaven and

the only science that can fit into that

analogy is quantum physics

now

we have

we have great technology

from anti-gravity magnets and magnetic

fields of Zero Point Energy we have all

that and we still have this ugly

superstitious Backwater concept of God

[Music]

people fall into line very readily when

they're threatened by these Cosmic

sentences of everlasting punishment but

this is not how God is and once you

start to question the traditional images

caricatures of God people feel you're an

agnostic or an atheist or a subverter of

the social order

God must be greater

than the greatest of human weaknesses

and indeed

the greatness of human skill that God

must even transcend a most remarkable to

emulate nature in its absolute splendor

How can any man or woman sin against

such a greatness of mine

How can any one little carbon unit

on Earth

in the back Waters

of indeed the Milky Way The Boondocks

betray God almighty

that is impossible

the height of arrogance is the height of

control of those who create God in their

own image

brain when it fires its thoughts is

likened unto the landscape of a

boiling in the sky

through it veins of electric light and

then you see it hit the ground

[Music]

the rain looks like a thunderstorm

when it is presenting a coherent fall

so no one

has ever seen the thought what they do

see in neurophysics so they see a storm

raging around different quadrants of the

brain those are areas that are mapped in

the body and what the person must be

responding to a holographic image

rage murder hate

compassion love

the brain does not know the difference

between what it sees in its environment

and what it remembers because the same

specific neural Nets are then firing the

brain is made up of tiny nerve cells

called neurons

these neurons have tiny branches that

reach out and connect to other neurons

to form a neural net each place where

they connect is integrated into a

thought or a memory now the brain builds

up all its concepts by the law of

associative memory for example ideas

thoughts and feelings are all

constructed and interconnected in this

neural net and all have a possible

relationship with one another the

concept and the feeling of love for

instance is stored in this vast neural

net but we build the concept of love

from many other different ideas some

people have love connected to

disappointment when they think about

love they experience the memory of pain

sorrow anger and even rage rage may be

linked to hurt which may be linked to a

specific person which then is connected

back to love

we build up models of how we see the

world outside of us and the more

information that we have the more we

refine our model one way or another and

what we ultimately do is tell ourselves

a story about what the outside world is

any information that we process any

information that we take in from the

environment is always colored by the

experiences that we've had

and an emotional response that we're

having to what we're bringing in who is

in the driver's seat when we control our

emotions or we respond to our emotions

we know physiologically that nerve cells

that fire together wire together if you

practice something over and over again

those nerve cells have a long-term

relationship if you get angry on a daily

basis if you get frustrated on a daily

basis if you suffer on a daily basis if

you give reasons for the victimization

in your life you're rewiring and

reintegrating that neural net on a daily

basis and that neural net now has a

long-term relationship with all those

other nerve cells called an identity we

also know that nerve cells that don't

fire together no longer wire together

they lose their long-term relationship

because every time we interrupt the

thought process that produces a chemical

response in the body every time we

interrupt it those nerve cells that are

connected to each other start breaking

the long-term relationship

when we start interrupting and observing

not by stimulus and response and that

automatic reaction but by observing

the effects it takes then we are no

longer the body mind conscious emotional

person that's responding to its

environment as if it is automatic

[Applause]

[Music]

does that mean emotions are good or

emotions are bad no emotions are

designed so that it reinforces

chemically something into long-term

memory that's why we have them

all emotion is is holographically

imprinted chemicals the most

sophisticated Pharmacy in the universe

is in here

there's a part of the brain called the

hypothalamus and the hypothalamus is

like a little mini Factory and it is a

place that assembles certain chemicals

that matches certain emotions that we

experience those particular chemicals

are called peptides they're small chain

amino acid sequences

body's basically a carbon unit that

makes about 20 different amino acids all

together to formulate its physical

structure the body is a

protein-producing machine in the

hypothalamus we take small chain

proteins called peptides and we assemble

them

into certain neuropeptides are neural

hormones that match the emotional states

that we experience on a daily basis

so there's

chemicals for anger and there's

chemicals for sadness and there's

chemicals for victimization there's

chemicals for lust there's a chemical

that matches every emotional state that

we experience and the moment that we

experience that emotional state in our

body or in our brain that hypothalamus

will immediately assemble the peptide

that then releases it through the

pituitary into the bloodstream the

moment it makes it into the bloodstream

it finds its way to different centers or

different parts of the body now every

single cell in the body has these

receptors on the outside and one cell

can have thousands of receptors stunning

its surface kind of opening up to the

outside world and when a peptide docks

on a cell it literally uh

like key going into a lock sits on the

receptor surface and attaches to it and

kind of moves the receptor and kind of

like a doorbell buzzing sends a signal

into the cell

it's party time eyes

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

foreign

is that most of us who've had our

glitches along the way are operating in

a emotionally detached place or we're

operating as if today were yesterday

mixed

[Music]

in either the disconnected place or the

overly emotional reactive place because

they've gone to an earlier time in

reality

the person is not operating as an

integrated whole

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

along the outside of the cell are these

billions of receptor sites that are

really just receivers of incoming

information a receptor that has a pep

inent

changes the cell in many ways it sets

off a whole Cascade of biochemical

events some of which wind up with

changes in the actual nucleus in the

cell

when I grew up I would become a

photographer just like you oh got any

tips take that picture thanks

each cell is definitely alive and each

cell has a Consciousness particularly if

we define consciousness as the point of

view of an observer there is always the

perspective of the cell

in fact the cell is the smallest unit of

Consciousness in the body

[Music]

oh yeah we're coming down

[Music]

[Music]

but my definition of an addiction is

something really simple

something that you can't stop

[Music]

we bring to ourselves situations that

will fulfill the biochemical craving of

the cells of our body by creating

situations that meet our chemical needs

an addict will always need a little bit

more in order to get a rush or a high of

what they're looking for chemically

always bothering me around so my

definition really means that if you

can't control your emotional state you

must be addicted to it

that's not what we agreed upon you're

not going to screw me to read the

contract you can't do anything about it

so I no no no no ma'am don't dip your

half-eaten shrimp back into the cocktail

sauce around you and your health codes I

am the bride's sister I'll stick my ass

in the cocktail sauce if I damn well

please come on I want you to get out

there and serve and make sure everybody

[Music]

just like me

[Music]

so how can anyone really say they're in

love with a specific person

for example

they're only in love with the

anticipation of the emotions they're

addicted to

because the same person could fall out

of favor the next week by not complying

my goodness doesn't that change the

landscape of our emotional outlook on

personal needs and identities

[Music]

oh yeah

[Music]

[Music]

no no no no no no you got the the

punchline Ron it's a it's a

photographer's joke

go on about your uh

uh music

[Music]

are you okay

right I

I got that cool puppies dumb girl

uh when

after now

I was with the uh the groom hey

uh I was with the groom just now he

loves Paulette

where

full wax they all look the same in the

text

you're gonna pull a shirt though hi

this is

oh thank you no problem

that was in my mouth

you forgot

so

Look To Me Elliot hi yeah

sir I'm Amanda hey Amanda I should have

asked you what your name

photograph a lot of weddings

I'm doing the thing again with my hands

I'm sorry

we are emotions and emotions are us

again I can't separate emotions when you

consider that

um every aspect of your digestion every

sphincter that opens and closes every

group of cells that come in for

nourishment and then moves out to

um

heal something or repair something those

are all under the influence of the

molecules of emotion I mean it's this

total Buzz

[Music]

so you ask if emotions are bad emotions

are not bad they're life they color the

richness of our experience it's our

addiction that's the problem the thing

that most people don't realize is that

when they understand that they are

addicted to emotions another drink

it's not just psychological it's

biochemical think about this heroin uses

the same receptor mechanisms on the

cells that are emotional chemicals use

it's easy to see then that if we can be

addicted to heroin then we can be

addicted to any neuropeptide

any emotion

the groom

[Music]

what's up guys what's up man hello what

do we need some boxes

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

Search Command that's going on is

related to finding a certain emotional

state

I mean we can't even direct our eyes

without having an emotional aspect to it

[Music]

she wouldn't fall for me

oh

what the hell are you waiting foreign

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

what about people who are addicted to

sex

[Music]

yeah

[Music]

I love that big boys

[Music]

thank you

foreign

[Music]

[Music]

tight

[Music]

yeah

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

the difference

[Music]

you can't be safe

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

okay

[Applause]

[Music]

foreign

like I said before it ain't a Polish

wedding without a polka

different

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

you'll find some old shoes wasted

[Music]

from here

[Music]

me

[Music]

please

[Music]

[Applause]

our minds literally

creates

our body so it all starts in the cell

the cell is a protein-producing machine

but it gets its signal from the brain

one of the things about receptors is

they change in their sensitivity

if a given receptor for a given drug or

internal juice is being

bombarded for a long time at a high

intensity it will literally

shrink up there will be less of them or

it will be hooked up in such a way that

it is desensitized or down regulated

so the same amount of drug or internal

juice will elicit a much smaller

response

foreign

foreign

with the same attitude and the same

chemistry over and over again on a daily

basis when that cell finally decides to

divide

when it produces a sister cell or a

daughter cell

that next cell will have more receptor

sites

for those particular emotional

neuropeptides

and less receptor sites for vitamins

minerals nutrients fluid exchange or

even the release of waste products or

toxins

now all aging is a result of improper

protein production what happens when we

age

skin gets loses elasticity while elastin

is a protein what happens to our enzymes

we don't digest as well what happens to

our synovial fluid

those are proteins that become brittle

and stiff what happens to our bones they

become thin

so all aging is a result of improper

protein production so then the question

arises does it really matter what we eat

and when does nutrition really have an

effect if the cell doesn't even have the

receptor sites after 20 years of

emotional abuse they even receive

or let in the nutrients that are

necessary for its health

[Music]

okay guys it's time for a course

correction

on our trajectory along the path of our

adventure and that course correction is

the movement to a new paradigm just an

expansion of the old just says the

universe is larger than we thought it

was in our modeling

and it's always larger than we think it

is

I hate you

foreign

you get it

back look at you you're fat you're

acting the word nothing you got it oh I

hate you

it makes you wonder doesn't it

if thoughts can do that to water

thoughts can do

to us

no one has ever came along

and ever given you sufficient

intelligent knowledge about your

beautiful self

how you work from the inside out

why do you have addictions because you

have nothing better you have dreamed of

nothing better because no one has ever

taught you how to dream better

do I think that you are bad

I don't think you're bad do I think

you're good I think you're good either

I think you're God

in general the field of Psychiatry

really doesn't

allow for enough

freedom of action on people's part

meaning an awful lot of problems not all

of them to be sure but an awful lot of

problems get that get labeled as

psychological problems really amount to

people making rotten choices and they

ought to be instructed to make different

ones

can I

wow

um borrow some toothpaste

[Music]

thanks

when I talk about we disappearing I

don't mean that we physically disappear

what I mean is is that we move out of

the area of the brain that has to do

with our personality that has to do with

our association to people our

association of places our association to

things and times and events

we don't exist in the associative

centers in our brain that reaffirms our

identity and reaffirms our personality

for the average person in the world who

lives life and considers their life

boring or uninspiring is because they've

made no attempt to gain knowledge and

information that will inspire them

they're so hypnotized

by their environment through the media

through television through

people living and creating ideals that

everybody struggles to become

that no one can actually become in terms

of physical appearance and definitions

of beauty and Valor

that are all illusions that most people

surrender and live their life in

mediocracy

and they may live that life and the soul

may never really their desire may never

really rise to the surface so they may

want to be something else but if it does

rise to the surface and they ask

themselves if there is something more or

why am I here what is the purpose of

life where am I going what happens when

I die they start to ask those questions

they start to flirt and interact with

the perception that they may be having a

nervous breakdown and in reality what

they're doing is that their old Concepts

of how they viewed their life in the

world start to fall apart

[Music]

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

we're in completely new territory in our

brain

and because we're in completely new

territory we're rewiring the brain

literally reconnecting to A New Concept

then ultimately it changes us from the

inside out

if I change my mind will I change my

choices if I change my choices will my

life change why can I change what am I

addicted to what will I lose that I'm

chemically attached to and what person

place thing time or event that I'm

chemically attached to that I don't want

to lose because I may have to experience

the chemical withdrawal from that

hence the human drama

[Music]

Amanda it's Bob and I'm just calling to

say I hope that you can come tonight I

really want to see you I uh I really

want to talk to you I know we can work

things out

[Music]

foreign

way that has habitation that is steeped

and enormous subjugation

of religion

you know why that is

is because people have set up right and

wrong

I do this I'm going to get punished by

God if I do the other thing I'm going to

get rewarded this is a really poor

description that tries to map out a path

in life for us to follow but with

deplorable results because there really

is no such thing as good or bad we're

judging things far too superficially

that way does that mean you're in favor

of sin and licentiousness and depravity

no it simply means that you need to

improve your your expression and

understanding of what you're dealing

with here there are things that I do

and I know they'll evolve me there are

other things that will not evolve me but

it's not good or bad there's no God

waiting to punish you because you did

one or the other

it is no God condemning people

everyone is God's

at the same time God is is this sort of

placeholder name for those parts of our

experience of the world which are

somehow Transcendent and somehow Sublime

I have no idea what God is

yet I have an experience that God is

there is something very real about this

presence called God although I have no

idea how to define God to see God as a

person or a thing can't I can't seem to

do it

it's kind of like asking

a human being to explain what God is

is similar to asking a fish to explain

the water in which the fish swims God is

a superposition of

all the spirit from all things

as you are a God in the making

and you have to walk this path

but someday

you have to love the abstract as much as

you love the condition of addiction

the only way

that I will ever be great to myself is

not what I do to my body

but what I do to my mind

so if we're consciously designing our

destiny

before consciously from a spiritual

standpoint throwing in with the idea

that our thoughts can affect our reality

or affect our life because reality

equals life

then I have this little pact that I have

when I create my day

I say I'm taking this time to create my

day

and I'm infecting the quantum field

now if is in fact The Observers watching

me the whole time that I'm doing this

and there is a spiritual aspect to

myself

then Show Me A Sign today that you paid

attention to any one of these things

that I created and bring them in a way

that I won't expect so I'm as surprised

at my ability to be able to experience

these things and make it so that

I have no doubt that it's come from you

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

so the brain is capable of millions of

different things that that people just

really should learn that how incredible

they actually are and how incredible

their minds actually are and that not

only do they have this unbelievable

thing within their head that can do so

many things for them and can help us

learn and can actually change and adapt

and it can make us something better than

what we actually are and can actually

help us to transcend ourselves that

there may be some way that it can

actually take us to a higher level of

our existence where we can actually

understand the world in a deeper way

where we can understand our relationship

to things and people in a deeper way and

we can ultimately make more meaning for

ourselves in our world we can show that

there's a spiritual part of our brain

but it's a part that we all can have

access to and it's something that we can

all do

[Music]

we have to formulate what we want

and be so concentrated on it and so

focused on it and have so much of our

awareness of it that we lose track of

ourselves

we lose track of time we lose track of

our identity and the moment we become so

involved in that experience that we lose

track of ourselves

we lose track of time that picture is

the only picture that's real and

everybody's had that experience

when they've made up their mind that

they've wanted something that's quantum

physics in action that's manifesting

reality that's the observer in full

effect

your Consciousness influences others

around you

[Music]

it influences material properties

[Music]

it influences your future

[Music]

you are co-creating your future

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

today that you paid attention to any one

of these things that I created and bring

them in a way that I won't expect so I'm

as surprised at my ability to be able to

experience these things and make it so

that I have no doubt that it's come from

you

fundamental

[Music]

have you ever seen yourself

Through The Eyes of someone else that

you have become

what an initiation

[Music]

the moment

and looked at yourself Through The Eyes

of the ultimate Observer

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

I am much more than I think I am

I can be much more even than that

[Music]

I can influence my environment

the people

I can influence space itself

I can influence the future

I am responsible for all those things

I am to surround

are not separate they're part of one

I'm connected to it all

I'm not alone

[Music]

knowing that there's this

interconnectedness of the universe that

we are all interconnected and that we

are connected to the universe at its

fundamental level I think is as good an

explanation for spirituality as there is

it is my belief that our purpose here

is to develop our Gifts of

intentionality

and

learn how to be effective creators we

are here to be creators

we are here

to infiltrate space with ideas

and mansions of thought

we are here

to make something of this life to

acknowledge the quantum self to

acknowledge the place where we really

have choice to acknowledge mind

when that shift

our perspective to express we say that

somebody has been enlightened

[Music]

quantum mechanics allows for the

intangible

phenomenon of freedom

to be woven into Human Nature

quantum physics very succinctly speaking

is a physics of possibilities it opens

fundamentally the question of whose

possibilities and who chooses from these

possibilities to give us the actual

event of experience

the only answer that is satisfactory

both logically and meaningfully is the

answer that Consciousness is the ground

of all being

we must pursue knowledge

without any interference of our

addictions and if we can do that

we will manifest knowledge in reality

and our bodies will experiences in new

ways in new chemistry in new Holograms

do elsewhere's afford

beyond our wildest dreams all of us one

day will reach the level of the avatars

that we have read about in history the

Buddhas and the Jesus

[Music]

welcome to the kingdom of heaven

without judgment

without hate

without testing

without anything

that we simply are has allowed this

reality we call real from the power of

intangibility

pull out of inertness action chaos and

hold it into its form

and we call it Mata

[Music]

how can we measure the effects we get to

live our life and see then if somewhere

in our lives something's changed

and then if it has changed we become the

scientists to our life

which is the whole reason why we're here

[Music]

[Music]

don't just take it at face value

test it out and see whether it's true

[Music]

hey you're back I'm back

so you never answered my question

what cousin how far down the rabbit hole

do you want to go

[Music]

[Music]

ponder that for a while

my name is David Albert

um I got a PhD in theoretical physics

[Music]

I studied biochemistry at Rutgers

University

and then went to Chiropractic College at

life University in Atlanta Georgia

my postgraduate training is in anatomy

and physiology neurochemistry

neurophysiology and genetics

I studied quantum physics I sometimes

teach it I have written a book on

quantum physics and many books

explicating the meaning of quantum

physics

[Music]

after my PhD from Harvard I went to CERN

a European laboratory for particle

research and then joined faculty at

Stanford and my work there has been the

development of unified Quantum field

theories I have about 100 Publications

in this area but perhaps I'm best known

for the discovery of supersymmetric

flipped su-5 Grand unified field Theory

foreign

as an anesthesiologist and every day as

I put my patients to sleep I kind of

wonder where they go and why they're

there in the first place and that's one

of the reasons that attracted me to

anesthesia and the study of

consciousness

[Music]

my name is mihal ledwith

and

for most of my life I was a professor of

theology

[Music]

I'm Dr Daniel Monte I'm a physician with

specialty training and Psychiatry and

human behavior I'm on the full-time

faculty at the Jefferson Medical College

I actually got very interested in

studying this whole topic of the brain

and spirituality because it had to do

with a lot of the questions that I was

asking ever since I was a child about

reality and how we understood truth and

what was real

and as I grew up and as I realized that

while spirituality was in some sense is

a very important part of trying to find

those answers science also was a very

crucial part and I was ultimately

looking for some way of bringing those

two forces together

foreign

I'm a professor at Georgetown in the

medical school

here we are actually filming great

thinkers everyone in this room is a

great thinker now that we got them

thinking

that's always a trick isn't it

[Music]

I should make it clear that I'm a a

graduate student in physics I'm not a

full-fledged theoretical physicist yet

but if Fortune Smiles on me and I

continue to work like a dog on my

problem sets and exams and whatnot

eventually what I hope to do with this

is is to apply

fundamental quantum theory to Quantum

information processing

so I decided Well if I gave up being

department chairman and if I gave up all

my professional committees and I gave up

all my government committees I would

have a block of time

that I could

put to work of course I give up all my

power positions but

you have to sacrifice something I had to

keep my day job because my family needed

to be fed

[Music]

I presume that you're asking me how

scientists can sound this rackle because

I must be sounding whack

it's really interesting question

if you study science long enough

and seriously enough and dig deeply

enough if you don't come out feeling

wacko about it you haven't understood a

thing
