Good habits are the key to success bad habits are the unlocked door to failure


well a habit is a redundant set of


automatic unconscious thoughts behaviors


and emotions that's acquired through


repetition the habit is when you've done


done something so many times that your


body now knows how to do it better than


your mind so if you think about it


people wake up in the morning they begin


to think about their problems those


problems are circuits memories in the


brain each one of those memories are


connected to people and things at


certain times and places and if the


brain is a record of the past the moment


they start their day they're already


thinking in the past each one of those


memories has an emotion emotions are the


end product of past experiences so the


moment they recall those memories of


their problems they all of a sudden feel


unhappy they feel sad they feel pain now


how you think and how you feel creates


your state of being so the person's


entire state of being when they start


their day is in the past so what does


that mean the familiar past will sooner


or later be predictable future so if you


believe that your thoughts have


something to do with your destiny and


you can't think greater than how you


feel our feelings have become the means


of thinking by very definition of


emotions your thinking in the past and


for the most part you're going to keep


creating the same life so then people


What is a subconscious program

grab their cellphone they check their


what's up they check their text they


check their emails they check facebook


they take a picture of their feet they


post it on Facebook they tweet something


they do Instagram they check the news


and now they feel really connected to


everything that's known in their life


and then they go through a series of


routine behaviors they get out of bed on


the same side they go to the toilet they


get a cup of coffee they take a shower


they get dressed they drive to work the


same way they do the same things they


see the same people that push the same


emotional buttons and that be


comes the routine and it becomes like a


program so now they've lost their free


will to a program and there's no unseen


hand doing it to them so when it comes


time to change the redundancy of that


cycle becomes a subconscious program so


now 95% of who we are by the time we're


35 years old is a memorized set of


behaviors emotional reactions


unconscious habits hardwired attitudes


beliefs and perceptions that function


like a computer program so then person


can say with their 5 percent of their


conscious mind I want to be healthy I


want to be happy I want to be free but


the body is on a whole different program


so then how do you begin to make those


changes well you have to get beyond the


analytical mind because what separates


the conscious mind from the subconscious


mind is the analytical mind and that's


where meditation comes in because you


The analytical mind

can teach people through practice how to


change their brainwaves slow them down


and when they do that properly they do


enter the operating system where they


can begin to make some really important


changes so most people then wait for


crisis or trauma or disease or diagnosis


no they wait for loss some tragedy to


make up their mind to change and my


message is why wait and and you can


learn and change in a state of pain and


suffering or you can learn and change in


a state of joy and inspiration I think


right now the cool thing is that people


are waking up that's really interesting


and where I found the deepest hooks into


how powerful this can be for somebody is


when you talk about trauma you've talked


about how people experience a traumatic


event but they then basically rehearse


it and how that then has this knock-on


effect so what is that why do people


find it so hard to get past trauma the


The emotional quotient

stronger the emotional reaction you have


to some experience in your life the


higher the emotional quotient the more


you pay attention to the cause in the


moment the brain puts all of its


attention on the cause it takes a


snapshot and that's called a memory so


long-term memories are created from very


highly


emotional experiences so what happens


then is that people think neurologically


within the circuitry of that experience


and they feel chemically within the


boundaries of those emotions and so when


you have an emotional reaction to


someone or something most people think


that they can't control their emotional


reaction well it turns out if you allow


that emotional reaction it's called a


refractory period to last for hours or


days that's called the mood I say to


someone hey what's up and so I'm gonna


move well why are you in a mood well I


had this thing happen to me five days


ago and I'm having one long emotional


reaction if you keep that same emotional


reaction going on for weeks or months


that's called temperament why is he so


bitter I don't know let's ask him why is


he so better


why are you bitter well I had this thing


happened to me nine months ago and if


you keep that same emotional reaction


going on for years on end


that's called a personality trait and so


learning how to shorten your refractory


period of emotional reactions is really


where that work starts so then people


The survival emotions

when they have an event what they do is


they keep recalling the event because


the emotions of stress hormones the


survival emotions are saying pay


attention to what happened because you


want to be prepared if it happens again


turns out most people spend 70% of their


life living in survival and living in


stress so they're they're always


anticipating the worst-case scenario


based on a past experience and they're


literally out of the infinite potentials


in the quantum field they're selecting


the worst possible outcome and they're


beginning to emotionally embrace it with


fear and their conditioning their body


into a state of fear do that enough


times body has a panic attack without


you you you can't even predict it


because it's programmed subconsciously


Why are you this way

so then you say to the person why are


you this way and they'll say I am this


way because of this event that happened


to me


fifteen or twenty years ago and what


that means from biological standpoint is


that they haven't been able to change


since that event so then the emotions


from the experience tend to give the


body and the brain a rush of energy so


people become addicted to the rush of


those emotions and they use the problems


and conditions in their life to reaffirm


their limitation so at least they can


feel something so now when it comes time


to change you say the person why are you


this way well every time they recall the


event they're producing the same


chemistry in their brain and body as if


the event is occurring firing and wiring


the same circuits and sentence the same


emotional signature to the body


what's the revelant behind that well


your body is the unconscious mind it


doesn't know the difference between the


experience that's creating the emotion


and the emotion that you're creating by


thought alone so the body's believing


it's living in the same past experience


24 hours a day seven days a week 365


days a year


and so then when those emotions


influence certain thoughts and they do


and then those thoughts create the same


emotions and those same emotions


influence the same thoughts now the


entire person's state of being is in the


past so then the hardest part about


The hardest part about change

change is not making the same choice as


you did the baby for a period and the


moment you decide to make a different


choice get ready because it's going to


feel uncomfortable the bigger thing is


that we we keep firing and wiring those


circuits they become more hardwired so


there you have a thought and then the


program runs but it's the emotion that


follows the thought if you have a if you


have a fearful thought you're gonna feel


anxiety the moment you feel anxiety your


brains checking in with your body and


saying yeah you're pretty anxious so


then you start thinking more


corresponding thoughts equal to how you


feel while the redundancy of that cycle


conditions the body to become the mind


so now when it comes time to change the


The body becomes the mind

person's steps into that river of change


and they make a different choice and all


of a sudden they don't they don't feel


the same way so the body says well


you've been doing this for 35 years


well you're gonna just stop field


suffering and stop feeling guilty and


stop feeling shameful and you're not


gonna complain or blame or make excuses


or feel sorry for yourself long the


body's in the unknown so the body says I


want to return back to the familiar


territory so the body starts influencing


the mind then it says start tomorrow


too much like your mother you'll never


change this isn't gonna work for you


this doesn't feel right in so if you


respond to that thought as if it's true


that same thought will lead to the same


choice which will lead to the same


behavior which will create the same


experience which produce the same


emotion I want to talk about that notion


of give me a little more detail what you


mean by the body becomes the mind or the


unconscious mind what do you mean by


that exactly well those are two


different things your body is your


unconscious mind in a sense if you're


sitting down and you start thinking


about some future worst-case scenario


that you're conjuring up in your mind


and you begin to feel the emotion of


that event your body doesn't know the


difference between the event that's


taking place in your world our world and


what you're creating by emotion our


thought alone so most people then


they're they're constantly reaffirming


their emotional states so when it comes


time to give up that emotion they can


say I really want to do it but really


the body is stronger than the mind


because it's been conditioned that way


so the servant now has become the master


and the person all of a sudden once they


step into that unknown they'd rather


feel guilt and suffering because at


least they can predict it being the


unknown is a scary place for most people


because the unknown is uncertain you


know people say to me well I can't


predict my future I'm in the unknown and


I always say the best way to predict


your future is to create it not from the


known but from the unknown what thoughts


do you want to fire and wire in your


brain what behaviors do you want to


demonstrate in one day the act of


rehearsing the mentally closing your


eyes and rehearsing the action


they're rehearsing the reaction of what


The act of rehearsing

you want or the reaction of what you


want by closing your eyes and mentally


rehearsing some action if you're truly


present the brain does not know the


difference between what you're imaging


and what you're experiencing in 3d world


so then you begin to install the


neurological hardware in your brain to


look like the event has already occurred


now your brain is no longer a record of


the past now it's a map to the future


and if you keep doing it priming it that


way the hardware becomes a software


program and who knows you just may start


acting like a happy person and then I


think that the hardest part is to teach


our body emotionally but the future will


feel like ahead of the actual experience


so what does that mean you can't wait


for your success to feel empowered you


can't wait for your wealth to feel


abundant you can't wait for your you're


a new relationship to feel loved or your


healing to feel whole I mean that's the


old model of reality of cause and effect


you know waiting for something outside


of us to change how we feel inside of us


and when we feel better inside of us we


pay attention to ever or whatever caused


it but what that means then is that from


the Newtonian worlds that most people


spend their whole life living and lack


will hitting through something you


change out there what do you mean the


Newtonian world a Newtonian world is all


about the predictable it's all about


predicting a future but the quantum


model of reality isn't is about causing


an effect the moment you start feeling


abundant and worthy you are generating


wealth the moment you're empowered and


feel it you're beginning to step towards


your success


the moment you start feeling whole your


healing begins and when you love


yourself and you love all of life you'll


create an equal and now you're causing


an effect and I think that's that the


difference between living as a victim


in their world saying I am this way


because of this person or that thing or


this experience they made me think and


feel this way when you switch that


around you become a creator of your


world and you start saying my thinking


and my feeling is changing an outcome in


my life and now that's a whole different


game and we start believing more that


we're creators of reality so how do we


go from okay I have this negative


emotion it's controlling my life it's


got me in this cycle of I think about


this emotion which triggers a chemical


reaction which trains my body to feel


that way which makes it easier more


likely I will do it again and so now I'm


in this vicious line unconscious and


it's unconscious right and you you said


does your thinking create your


environment unders your environment


create your thinking which I thought was


really really interesting so how do we


then go from that like mechanistically


to begin this visualization process of


something that's empowering its me in a


different state is my future self is it


meditation is it what does that look


like if you're not being defined by a


vision of the future then you're left


with the old memories of the past and


you will be predictable in your life and


if you wake up in the morning and you're


not being defined by a vision in the


future as you see the same people and


you go to the same places and you do the


exact same thing at the exact same time


it's no longer that your personality is


creating your personal reality now your


personal reality is affecting or


creating your personality your


environment is really controlling how


you think and feel unconsciously because


every person everything every place of


the experience has a neurological


network in your brain every experience


that you have with every person produces


an emotion so some people will use their


boss to reaffirm their addiction to


judgment they'll use their enemy to


reaffirm their addiction to hatred to


use their friends that we affirm their


addiction to suffering so now they need


the outer world to feel something so


to change them is to be greater than


your environment to be greater than the


conditions in your world and the


environments is that seductive so then


why is meditation the tool well let's


sit down let's close our eyes let's


disconnect from your outer environment


so if you're seeing less things is less


stimulation going to your brain if


you're playing soft music or you have


earplugs in less sensory information


coming to your brain so you're


disconnecting from your environment if


you can sit your body down and tell it


to stay like an animal stay right here


I'm gonna feed you when we're done you


can get up and check your emails you can


do all your texts but right now you're


gonna sit there and obey me so then when


you do that properly and the you're not


eating anything or smelling anything or


tasting anything you're not up


experiencing and feeling anything you


would have to agree with me that you're


being defined by a thought right so when


the body wants to go back to its


emotional past and you become aware that


your attention is on that emotion and


where you place your attention is where


you place your energy your siphoning


your energy out of the present moment


into the past and you become aware of


that and you settle your body back down


in the present moment because it's


saying well it's eight o'clock you


normally get upset because you're in


traffic around this time and here you


are sitting and we're used to feeling


anger and you're off schedule oh it's 11


o'clock and usually check your emails


and judge everybody well your body's


looking for that that predictable


chemical state every time you become


aware that you're doing that and your


body is craving those emotions and you


settle it back down into the present


moment you're telling the body it's no


longer the mind that you're the mind and


now your will is getting greater than


the program and if you keep doing this


over and over again over and over again


over and over again just like training a


stallion or a dog it's just gonna say


I'm gonna sit and the moment that


happens the body's no longer the mind


when it finally surrenders there's a


liberation of energy we go from particle




to wave from matter to energy and we


free ourselves from the chains on those


emotions that keep us in the in the


familiar past and we've seen this


thousands of times in fact we can


actually predict it now on a brain skin
